Leslie Knope Quote #950

Quote from Leslie Knope in The Debate

Leslie Knope: What do we do? I think we attack him. He's more confident now. I have to attack him.
Ben: And say what? We didn't plan for this. What would you even say?
Leslie Knope: I don't know. I'll figure out as I'm saying it. Just let me attack him. I want to attack him.
Ben: No, no, no, no. It's too risky. Just go with the closing statement we rehearsed. Add a line at the end about how you're pro business, and we'll deal with the fallout tomorrow, okay? What? What's the matter with you?
Leslie Knope: I can do it. I can crush him. I promise.
Ben: [exhales] Ah, screw it. Go get him.
Leslie Knope: Really?
Ben: Kick his ass.

Quote from Leslie Knope

Perd Hapley: And, Leslie Knope, closing statement?
Leslie Knope: [exhales] I'm very angry. I'm angry that Bobby Newport would hold this town hostage and threaten to leave if you don't give him what he wants. It's despicable. Corporations are not allowed to dictate what a city needs. That power belongs to the people. Bobby Newport and his daddy would like you to think it belongs to them. I love this town. And when you love something, you don't threaten it. You don't punish it. You fight for it. You take care of it. You put it first. As your city councilor, I will make sure that no one takes advantage of Pawnee. If I seem too passionate, it's because I care. If I come on strong, it's because I feel strongly. And if push too hard, it's because things aren't moving fast enough. This is my home. You are my family. And I promise you... I'm not going anywhere.
Bobby Newport: Holy [bleep], Leslie, that was awesome.
Leslie Knope: Thanks, Bobby.

Quote from Andy

Andy: Scrawny Christians, missionaries, come to him, and they're like, "Are you John Rambo?" He's like, "Yeah." And they're like, "We need you to take us upriver." And he's like, "It's a war zone up there." And they're like, "Yeah, we know. We're gonna change things." And he's like, "You bringing any weapons?" They're like, "Of course not." "Then you're not changing anything. Go home." And then they come back in a rainstorm. This time he says, "Nope. Go home." They go home again. Bottom line, they go upriver. Does not go well.
