Tom Quote #628
Quote from Tom in One Last Ride (Part 1)
[future:]
Tom: I once started an entertainment company. It failed in four months. I opened a clothing rental store. I built a restaurant empire. They all failed, but the story of America isn't about second or third chances. It's about 4th, 5th, 6th, 20th, 50th chances. That's how long it took me to get where I am today: Best-selling author of... Failure: An American Success Story. [applause] As you know if you've read the book, I've outlined seven different types of successful people. You can be an Andy, an April, a Ben, a Leslie, a Ron, a Donna, or my personal favorite, a Tom. But what do we definitely not want to be?
All: A Garry!
Tom: That's right. Do not be a Garry.
Jerry: Oh, he's talking about me! [laughs]

Quote from Andy
Andy: I'm gonna miss the food in Pawnee. Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut, and most of all, I'm gonna miss you, Leslie.
Leslie Knope: Aw, Andy, all of those things, including me, will still be with you in Washington.
Andy: That is a beautiful sentiment.
Quote from April
[Halloween, 2023:]
Dr. Saperstein: All right, Ms. Ludgate, we're getting close.
Andy: Babe, you look more beautiful right now than I have ever seen you.
Dr. Saperstein: Wow. Just your luck that you're going into labor on Halloween. Can I get a warm towel to get that makeup off?
April: No! I want it on! That's the whole point. I put the makeup on after I went into labor.
Dr. Saperstein: Whatever blows your skirt up. Okay, you ready to push?
April: Wait, no. Babe, my birth mix.
[Monster Mash plays]
Dr. Saperstein: Here comes a contraction. Are you ready?
April: Okay, I'm ready. Let's do this.
Quote from Ben
[Pawnee, 2019:]
Ben: Well, there are always gonna be risks when you open new restaurants, but you've done your homework. All the numbers line up. Side note: I would again strongly recommend adding calzones to the menu.
Tom: Ugh. The worst.
