Leslie Knope Quote #94

Quote from Leslie Knope in Rock Show

Leslie Knope: Now, you know that we're gonna be building a park on a residential lot, so, of course we're gonna have to get the zoning codes approved and amended by our city council.
George Gernway: What kind of movies do you like?
Leslie Knope: Huh? Uh. Well, you know, documentaries, political thrillers.
George Gernway: I like all kinds of movies.
Leslie Knope: Great. So, I brought some pictures of the lot, and you can tell that the houses are very close to it. How difficult is re-zoning in your town? Could you go into detail a little bit about that?
George Gernway: Sure. Great. It's refreshing to be with someone who actually likes talking about government issues. Most of the women I go out with find it boring.
Leslie Knope: Well, you know, you have to have zoning codes, or else the whole thing could be chaos.
George Gernway: You are a very no-nonsense person, aren't you? I like that. Your mother mentioned that you don't date much.
Leslie Knope: What? I've been focusing on my career. Why do you ask?
George Gernway: Oh, because I haven't been dating much either since my divorce. It hasn't been easy. And I'm coping, but it was tough on the kids. Not my kids, 'cause they're grown-up, but it was tough on their kids. Oh, sorry.
Leslie Knope: Oh, boy.
George Gernway: I'm sorry. I apologize. I shouldn't bring up my divorce on a first date. But I feel I can tell you anything.
Leslie Knope: Uh...

Leslie Knope: Is that meeting still happening, the one with the bigwigs?
Marlene Knope: As far as I know.
