Leslie Knope Quote #184
Quote from Leslie Knope in Sister City
Leslie Knope: What is he saying?
April: They are very happy. They say Hugo Chavez will love this video because it is another success for their committee.
Leslie Knope: Committee?
April: Yeah. They're a Committee to Humiliate and Shame America.
Raul: It will be a good video.
Leslie Knope: The Committee to Humiliate and Shame America?
Raul: Yes. It is Hugo Chavez's passion project. Oh, and we just had an idea. Why don't you call the park after Chavez? You know, you call it Hugo Chavez Park. And you can have a nice, big fountain of his head, so that when the water is coming out he is spitting at you all the time. You should write this down.
Leslie Knope: Viva America! Viva Pawnee! Viva Mayor Walter Gunderson!
Raul: You have offended us. You have offended the government of Boraqua. You are no longer our sister.
[aside to camera:]
Leslie Knope: No, America is not perfect. But diplomacy isn't just sucking up and being a pushover. Sometimes you got to get tough. I am gonna build that park myself, and it is gonna be awesome. And it's not gonna have a fountain shaped like Hugo Chavez's head spitting water all over everyone. Unless that's what the people want. And that, sir, is democracy.

Quote from Leslie Knope
Raul: This is a gold plated replica of the gun Hugo Chavez used in the 1992 Socialist revolution. It is a gift.
Leslie Knope: This gun truly symbolizes the blossoming peace between our two nations.
[aside to camera:]
Leslie Knope: A key aspect to diplomacy is gift-giving. The gift has to be nice enough to honor and respect the guest, but not so nice that it shames him. Plus, it needs to represent the local culture. And I found the perfect thing.
[back:]
Leslie Knope: A bottle of high-fructose corn syrup, made right here in Pawnee's own Sweetums factory. Sweetums! If you can't beat 'em, Sweetums! Since 1891. And eight and a half dozen rubber baby bottle nipples, also made here in Pawnee. Kernston's Rubber Nipples, tastes like the real thing.
