Tom Quote #520
Leslie Knope: Alright. I'm a loose cannon. We need to fight fire with fire. I call a town hall meeting, I gather everyone together, I distribute the binders, but now the binders are bright yellow! Boom! [imitates explosion] Too extreme?
Tom: Too nothing. Look, Jamm's already ruined fluoride. Everyone's scared of it. What if we just called it something else?

Quote from Ron Swanson
Ron Swanson: Chris, I'm not teaching you anything. We're just building a crib.
Chris: No, I know you're not consciously teaching me anything. I'm trying to siphon off some of your calm, centered wisdom through metaphors.
Ron Swanson: Metaphors? I hate metaphors. That's why my favorite book is Moby Dick. No froufrou symbolism. Just a good, simple tale about a man who hates an animal. That's enough for today, I think.
