Leslie Knope Quote #1049
Quote from Leslie Knope in Ben's Parents
Leslie Knope: Steve, you like sailing, right?
Steve Wyatt: Not any more, since Julia got the boat in the divorce and then sold it to a scrapyard because she's terrible.
Leslie Knope: Well, at least you don't have to deal with all that boat upkeep now, right, huh? Yech, no thankee. Let's talk about something other than sailing. Why don't you head in the other room? I have a surprise that-- There she goes. There's a surprise for you, so, um, head on in.
Steve Wyatt: I don't like surprises.

Tom: Ron in 60 seconds.

[aside to camera:]
Ron Swanson: I'm always looking for new investments. Ever since I got my first job at the age of nine, I have put all my money into gold, which is currently at an all-time high. So I have a certain amount of money. I've said too much.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Ben: This is amazing.
Leslie Knope: I know. I worked really hard on it. And, out of respect, I did not include any images of the only other man in the world who's as sexy as you, Joe Biden.
Ben: Yes, you did, right there.
Leslie Knope: Hmm? Oh, well, that's just a little one.
Quote from Ben
Leslie Knope: Okay, we are off to a rocky start, but we are gonna fix this.
Ben: Yes, we will. I called a cab. It's outside. I gave the driver 100 bucks to sit and wait, so whenever we're ready to go - like, maybe right now - all we have to do is walk outside.
Leslie Knope: No, I want to be here now, with you and your parents. Help me make this work.
Ben: Okay, fine. Best thing to do is distract them with innocuous talk about the stuff they care about.
Leslie Knope: Great, like what?
Ben: Well, they're white people from Minnesota, so hockey, fishing, skiing, sailing, and after a few drinks, put on a Prince album. Don't mention the Green Bay Packers or the state of Iowa. And also, I have enough frequent flyer miles to get us to Australia tonight.
