Quote from Leslie Knope in Emergency Response

Leslie Knope: Breaking news, I've just been handed this. Pawnee has been hit by a devastating earthquake. We go to our reporter, live, Winnifred Makepiece, for the story. Winnifred?
Leslie Knope: Thanks, Jessica. I'm here at the Pawnee Weather Center with celebrated geologist Isabella Winchester. Isabella, can you tell us more about this killer earthquake?
Leslie Knope: [British accent] That's right, Winnifred, the earthquake registered an 8.5 on the Richter scale. That's correct. It was a large one.
Leslie Knope: Thank you so much, everyone. From all of us here at Channel 4 News, I'm Jessica Rabrit. Have a good evening and be safe out there. [humming news theme]

Quote from Leslie Knope

Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] Well, the planning commission has a week to decide if they want a beautiful, innovative community park or a bunch of greasy lard bombs. I'm not editorializing. Paunch Burger's number-one-selling burger is the Greasy Lard Bomb.

Quote from Ron Swanson

Ron Swanson: This is Ron. Go ahead, caller.
Woman: [on the line] Hi. My Yorkshire Terrier has chewed up the legs on my kitchen table. Is there a cheap way to repair that?
Ron Swanson: Great question. Take a walnut and rub it into the legs of your table. That'll mask the scratches. Next thing you want to do is ditch the Terrier and get yourself a proper dog. Any dog under 50 pounds is a cat, and cats are pointless. Come to the gala. Next caller. [cut] Grapes of Wrath, chocolate-chip ice cream, and Johnny Cash. [cut] Don't trust big banks or small banks. Banks are Ponzi schemes run by morons. [cut] Your house isn't haunted. You're lonely. [cut] Whatever happened to, "Hey, I have some apples. Would you like to buy them?" "Yes, thank you." That's as complicated as it should be to open a business in this country. [cut] I've seen three movies in my life: Bridge on the River Kwai, Patton, and Herbie Fully Loaded. My girlfriend's kids love it. It's pretty funny. Next caller.

Leslie Knope: Well, that's great news.
Leonard Tchulm: Not so fast. I regret to inform you that someone in this room has begun exhibiting symptoms, Christopher Traeger.
Leslie Knope: What?
[aside to camera:]
Chris: A few months ago, the thought of an infectious disease, even hypothetical, would have sent me careening towards Bummerville, but now I am infected with a killer virus, and I feel fine. Therapy!
