Ron Swanson Quote #487
Quote from Ron Swanson in New Beginnings
Leslie Knope: Well, Ron, you were right. Tom has really grown up.
Ron Swanson: You seem merely overjoyed instead of irritatingly ecstatic. Why?
Leslie Knope: Well, Tom's come into his own. April runs Animal Control. I mean, does this department even need me anymore?
Ron Swanson: No. We do not. April and Tom started out as two of the most apathetic people I had ever met. It's why I hired them. Then you betrayed me and turned them into efficient and caring government employees. This office can indeed function without you. And soon, it'll have to.
Leslie Knope: Was that a death threat?
Ron Swanson: We both know you're not gonna be here forever. This is a weigh station on the road to bigger and better things. Whenever you do move on, it should please you to know that - God help me - you've built a well-functioning government agency.

Quote from Tom
Leslie Knope: I know you were excited to get in front of the committee and rip it, but in the spirit of teamwork, I unilaterally decided to bring Stu out of retirement. So pressure's off.
Tom: What? I spent a lot of time on this.
Leslie Knope: Doin' what, putting mousse in your hair?
Tom: It's a gel-based serum. Second of all, who uses mousse still? Oh, God. Leslie. Let's put our differences aside for a second. Friend to friend, do you still use mousse?
Leslie Knope: No, I use the juicy space thing. Whatever you do.
