Leslie Knope Quote #781
Quote from Leslie Knope in Smallest Park
Joe: Excuse me, what the heck is going on here?
Leslie Knope: Just preparing for the grand opening of this tiny but very intrusive park.
Joe: We were told this would have very little impact on the neighborhood. This flyer has hundreds of events.
Mel: There are fireworks every night at midnight?
Leslie Knope: They start at midnight. Who knows when they're gonna end? Look, I don't even know the impact of this park, because the city skipped an environmental impact report. So we don't know about traffic problems or sound or lights or crime. I mean, it's all a mystery.
Joe: Don't you work for the government?
Leslie Knope: I do, Joe. Yeah, that's how I know just how high this conspiracy goes. What can we do about it? I'm glad you asked. I have some ideas.

Ron Swanson: [aside to camera] I value a good education, so I don't want to see Andy waste his time in college. Of all my coworkers, he is one of a small number whom I do not actively root against. Ugh, there I go getting all sappy.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: So, I have about nine things I need to talk to you about. The first is the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Do you know who's bringing scissors? Because I cannot tell you how many ceremonies get derailed when people don't bring scissors.

Leslie Knope: Recently, the last remaining telephone booths in Pawnee were torn down, and on that patch of concrete, I am creating Pawnee's newest tourist attraction: The smallest park in Indiana. The title is currently held by Martin Luther King, Jr. Park in Terryville, but guess what? Terryville sucks old car tires, and so does Martin Luther- No, he does not suck old car tires. He was one of the greatest men in history. I'm sorry. Sometimes I get competitive.
