Quote from Leslie Knope in How a Bill Becomes a Law
Leslie Knope: Okay, Pawnee Porpoises youth swim team, I have a question for you. What is your greatest accomplishment?
Tina: We came in fourth in the County swim meet last year.
Leslie Knope: Wrong, your greatest accomplishment is happening in two hours when this bill becomes law. [applause]
Tom: Yay.
Leslie Knope: I just want you to be very proud of yourselves, because this bill is going to start a long romance between the city and its government. Porpoise call! [imitating porpoise noise]
Tina: What are you doing?
Leslie Knope: I'm doing a porpoise call, which we used to do when I was part of your group, but it seems like you don't do it any more and that's fine. I'm not weird. Okay, everybody leave. I'll see you at the city council meeting.
