Ben Quote #90
Quote from Ben in Citizen Knope
Leslie Knope: Are you gonna take it?
Ben: Well, it pays well. The commute is a little long, but that's okay. I didn't love the carpeting, but... eh.
Leslie Knope: You know what I think? If you don't love it, take a month. See what else is out there.
Ben: Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, you can still improve the city. You can't work right now, or run a campaign. Do it as a private citizen.
Leslie Knope: Oh, my God. I'll form a citizen action committee, I'll lobby from the outside, I'll harness the power of the community. Oh, my God, I finally have some work to do. Thank you so much for dinner, honey.
Ben: I can hear you breathing, and, yes, you can finish her pasta.
[Andy and April come in through the shutter doors]
Andy: Thank God. I'm so hungry. Mmm, it tastes like froot loops.
