Ben Quote #129
Ben: [aside to camera] In the last few weeks, we've turned this campaign into a well-oiled machine. Leslie's stump speech is 10 minutes and 40 seconds every time. Here, check this out. There will be a big laugh right... now. [laughter in background] And now, a two-second awkward silence after Leslie does her Rodney Dangerfield impression.
Leslie Knope: [as Dangerfield] I tell ya, these geese don't give me no respect. No respect at all.
Ben: She insists on trying it every time, and it never works. But the rest of the speech, fantastic.

Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] We've come so far. I want this so bad, I can taste it. When I close my eyes, I can picture the flash of the cameras at my swearing in. And I can hear the sound of the applause when I take my oath. And I can see in the crowd president Obama smiling at me. He made it. I didn't think he would come, but he made it. Hey, buddy.
Quote from Andy
Andy: A few days ago, on a routine campaign stop in downtown Pawnee, one Leslie Knope - pause - was attacked - play - by a pie. Luckily, it only hit Jerry, so no damage was done. Play. The only evidence we have is a video shot by - pause - my wife, April Ludgate. This is Burt Macklin's greatest assignment yet. If you are watching, perpetrator, just know that you are still at large.
Quote from Chris
Chris: [aside to camera while cycling] This has been a difficult year for me, romantically. Millicent Gergich, Ann Perkins, Andy's professor-- lots of disappointment, but if I keep my body moving and my mind occupied at all times, I will avoid falling into a bottomless pit of despair.
