Leslie Knope Quote #1191
Quote from Leslie Knope in Article Two
Ted: Okay, fine. You want to enforce every single old law we have on our books? Hey, can I see your keys for a second? Here's a quarter. I own your car now.
Tom: Wha--
Ted: Sorry. The Pawnee Charter clearly states that any white citizen has the right to seize any Indian property for 25 cents.
Leslie Knope: That is an outdated and racist law. And obviously they meant "American Indian."
Ted: Whoa, I think we should be careful when we speculate what the Founders intended when they wrote the charter.
Leslie Knope: Okay, Ted. I know what you're doing. You're quoting me back to me. But I'm gonna quote me back to you and say that Ted Party Day will never change.
Ted: Uh-oh. You, a woman, just raised your voice to a landowning male. According to a Pawnee statute passed in 1868, I get to do this. [cracks an egg on Leslie's forehead]
Leslie Knope: I was not aware of that statute.

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.
