Leslie Knope Quote #1189
Quote from Leslie Knope in Article Two
All: Ted! Ted! Ted! Ted! Ted! Ted!
Leslie Knope: Article Two, Section Two of the Pawnee Charter reads, "Be it decreed: Should the taxation of tea rise to an unacceptable level, citizens shall dump Ted into Ramsett Lake." [all cheer] Does anyone object?
Ted: As always, I object.
Garth Blundin: Nay, enough dithering! Dump the miscreant! Boo! [all cheer]
[aside to camera:]
Leslie Knope: Today is Ted Party Day, where we commemorate the great Pawnee tea dump of 1817. Historical fun fact: when the Founding Fathers wrote the charter, their old-timey script made one of the "a"s look like a "d," so "tea" became "Ted." It's just one of those little things that reminds us of Pawnee's rich and vibrant past. Plus, we get to go find a guy named Ted and throw him in a lake.

Quote from Ron Swanson
Ron Swanson: [aside to camera] Normally, if given a choice between doing something and nothing, I'd choose to do nothing. But I will do something if it helps someone else do nothing. I'd work all night if it meant nothing got done.
Quote from Ann
Ann: JJ's diner put an old waffle iron up for auction. It's the perfect breakfast day gift for Leslie.
Donna: "Breakfast day"?
[aside to camera:]
Ann: Leslie has anniversaries for everything. "Zoo day," first time we went to the zoo together. "Double date day," it was the first time we went on a double date. "Daniel Day-Lewis day." "Talk-like-a-pirate day." "Talk-like-a-Pittsburgh-pirate day," which why and how? This calendar was last year's calendar day present celebrating the first time she ever bought me a calendar.
Quote from Tom
Garth Blundin: Yeah, nothing warms the blood like an old whirly-bout with the old butter-gyre, eh, Leslie?
Leslie Knope: Indeed. Man, this guy's tougher than I thought.
Tom: I don't know how either of you guys are doing this. One time my refrigerator stopped working, I didn't know what to do. I just moved.
