Quote from Ben in One Last Ride (Part 2)
[Washington, D.C. 2025:]
Jennifer Barkley: Need the congressman. This is time-sensitive.
Ben: Hey, Jen, I didn't know you were here.
Jennifer Barkley: I'm everywhere. You want to be governor of Indiana?
Ben: What?
Jennifer Barkley: Colquitt's not gonna run again. It's a rumor for now, but my gut says it's for real. You're the perfect candidate. Local hero, state government experience, blah-blah-blah- blah-blah-blah-blah. I mean, the only potential problem is that devastatingly nerdy "Cones of Dunshire" thing.
Ben: Uh, that's a problem? I'm sorry, but it's the ninth-highest selling multiplayer figurine-based strategy fantasy sequel game in history. Please don't bail on me because of what just happened.

Quote from Ron Swanson
[Pawnee National Park, 2022:]
Leslie Knope: Let's go meet your staff. Pawnee National Park rangers, this is Ron Swanson, your new superintendent and boss.
Ron Swanson: Rangers, my name is Ronald Ulysses Swanson. Your job and mine is to walk this land and make sure no one harms it. If you show up on time, speak honestly, and treat everyone with fairness, we will get along just fine. Though hopefully not too fine, as I'm not looking for any new friends. End of speech.
Leslie Knope: Well said.
Ron Swanson: Thank you, Leslie.
Leslie Knope: You're welcome, Ron.
Ron Swanson: Okay. Time to go to work.
