Ann Quote #8
Quote from Ann in Boys' Club
Ann: So, is this, like, your regular Tuesday night scene?
Mark: Well, it's just a way to unwind, you know.
Ann: Mmm-hmm. Really different from your Friday night crowd, right?
Mark: What crowd?
Ann: You know, the girls with the tribal back tattoos who drink Red Bull for a living. That crowd.
Leslie Knope: Oh! Oh, I like this. This is banter. Banter's fun.
Mark: Where'd that come from?
Ann: We were just on the computer, looking at your profile. You know, you have a friend who has a tattoo that says, "Daddy's Girl." And both words are misspelled.
Leslie Knope: Ooh! Mixing it up with the boys! So... What are you gonna say? What's your comeback?
Mark: Those aren't really my friends anymore. I don't hang out with them.
Leslie Knope: Oh, boo. Brendanawicz, that's some weak sauce. You need to hit harder!

‘Boys' Club’ Quotes
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] Good morning. Last night, in a foolish attempt to infiltrate a boys' club, I violated the government employee ethics code of the state of Indiana. I have always tried to live my life in an ethical way, and last night, I failed. I realize I have let down every female public official in America, and I would like to apologize to them, right now, individually, and in alphabetical order. Michele Bachmann, Republican, Minnesota. I am sorry. Tammy Baldwin, Democrat, Wisconsin. I'm so sorry, Tammy. Melissa Bean.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] Politics is full of boys' clubs, formal and informal. Behind me are all the members of the city council over the past 30 years. And every day, as a woman, I have to walk past this wall of men. It can be very upsetting. Especially because of that guy. No matter what direction I move, he's always staring at my chest. Hmm. See?
Quote from Ron Swanson
Ron Swanson: So, after all that, it's really not that bad. You're gonna get a letter in your file.
Leslie Knope: Ron, I just wanted to say thank you, so...
Ron Swanson: Don't worry about it.
[aside to camera:]
Ron Swanson: No, I didn't do it for Leslie. I did it because I hate bureaucracy. My idea of a perfect government is one guy, who sits in a small room at a desk, and the only thing he's allowed to decide is who to nuke. The man is chosen based on some kind of IQ test, and maybe also a physical tournament, like a decathlon. And women are brought to him, maybe, when he desires them.
