Leslie Knope Quote #852
Quote from Leslie Knope in Bowling for Votes
Leslie Knope: [on video] I will institute a reduction in taxes for the small-business owner as well as a 7% surcharge on all nonlocal business-related development. Together we will build a better Pawnee.
Tom: So what we're looking for here are your overall impressions of this candidate. What do you like about her? What don't you like about her? Her ideas, her voice, her clothes probably.
[aside to camera:]
Leslie Knope: Well, my campaign has a little momentum, so we're trying to capitalize on that by doing a focus group. Some things are very helpful. Other things are not so helpful. All the things make me feel a lot of feelings about myself.

Quote from April
April: [on the phone] Hello, is this Mrs. Gallivan? Well, my name is April, and wouldn't you know it, I'm raising money for a city council candidate I believe in. [cut] No, mira, mira, mira, mira, mira. It's, like, whatever you want. Like, $10. It don't matter. [cut; in Southern accent:] Well, I reckon it's just like grammy Martha told me and my cousins, "You can't eat the biscuits if you don't pay for the flour." [laughs, mouths words]
