Leslie Knope Quote #1190
Quote from Leslie Knope in Article Two
Ted: I'm serious. I'm not getting dumped in that lake anymore. And I talked to the other Teds in town, and they're not doing it either.
Leslie Knope: Come on, Ted Party Day is protected by Article Two in the town charter. And we have the right, nay, the obligation, to dump Ted into the lake every year. That's the way it's always been done.
Ted: Okay, first of all, "That's the way it's always been done" is not a good reason to keep doing something. Second, it was a misprint. They clearly meant "tea."
Leslie Knope: I just think you need to be careful about speculating what the Founders meant when they were writing the town charter.

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.
