Leslie Knope Quote #411
Quote from Leslie Knope in Summer Catalog
Leslie Knope: Hey, Ron, you want me to read you what I have so far in my welcome letter? Nothing. Because you and your jerk predecessors didn't give me anything to work with.
Ron Swanson: Did you... print this out? I heard the printer going.
Leslie Knope: Yes.
Ron Swanson: You could've just handed me a blank piece of paper.
Leslie Knope: Oh, wisdom. Finally. Thank you so much. You can also keep the photo. Thanks for the memories.
Ron Swanson: Good god. I don't remember this.
Leslie Knope: That- That's the wrong one. But the real one's very bad as well. I want you to know that I'm replacing the welcome letter with this ad for yearning by Dennis Feinstein. So good-bye, distilled wisdom of 50 years of experience. Hello, disgusting fragrance flap.
Ron Swanson: Let me buy you dinner.
Leslie Knope: No. I insist you buy me dinner.

‘Summer Catalog’ Quotes
Quote from Tom
Tom: What are we trying to do with this catalog? We're trying to sell Pawnee on our summer classes. How do we do that? With one perfect, captivating image. April. Modern life. Where are we running? Sometimes what we want is not always where we are. Next slide. Are we alone? Is the real winter inside our hearts? We're all struggling for definition in a world that resists our inquiries.
Leslie Knope: Okay, this isn't gonna work for a number of reasons. One, this is a summer catalog. Two, that was complete gibberish. And three, that child looks like it's abandoned, so basically, boo.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] Okay, I'll tell you. We're putting together the Parks Department summer catalog, and the big surprise is I am going to reunite all the living, former Parks Directors at a picnic, record the whole thing, and then write about it in the welcome letter. It's the biggest catalog of the year. Think of the September issue of Vogue, but it's more important to Pawnee. Mainly because we don't get Vogue here.
Quote from Tom
Tom: [aside to camera] This catalog is basically like an ad for the parks department, and I love ads. I love magazine ads for flavored vodkas, billboards for designer jeans. I TiVo through shows to get to the ads. I love ads.
