Leslie Knope Quote #517
Quote from Leslie Knope in Time Capsule
Kelly Larson: And combined, they have sold more than 100 million copies worldwide. Now, have you seen any of the Twilight movies?
Leslie Knope: No, I have not.
Kelly Larson: Well, let me describe them to you shot-for-shot. Okay, movie number one. Twilight. We slowly pan up over a mossy log to see a deer drinking crystal-clear water.
Leslie Knope: Okay, Kelly, this time capsule isn't just a barrel full of stuff that people like. It's about life in Pawnee at this moment in time, and there is nothing in Twilight that is specific to Pawnee.
Kelly Larson: I disagree, okay? The town of Forks, Washington is exactly like Pawnee, except for the climate and the vampires.
Leslie Knope: I'm sorry. I have to say no.
Kelly Larson: I beg you to reconsider.
Leslie Knope: And I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
Kelly Larson: Then I'm gonna have to do this. [handcuffs himself to Leslie's chair]

Quote from Donna
Donna: You should listen to him. Those books are good.
[aside to camera:]
Donna: Oh, I love any book about vampires, werewolves, monsters, zombies, sorcerers, beasties, or time-traveling romances. And if I had an hour alone with Robert Pattinson, he would forget all about Skinnylegs McGee. I'll tell you that much.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: And I am submitting this. A brief history of everything that has ever happened since Pawnee was founded. Not like you get extra credit for this, but I did type it from memory. And for the first time ever compiled, it includes a complete list of every official town slogan we've ever had.
April: Oh, my God, Leslie.
Leslie Knope: I know. Can you believe it?
April: That's crazy.
Leslie Knope: Isn't it?
[aside to camera:]
Leslie Knope: "Pawnee: The Paris of America. Pawnee: The Akron of Southwest Indiana. Pawnee: Welcome, German soldiers." After the Nazis took France, our mayor kind of panicked. "Pawnee: The factory fire capital of America. Pawnee: Welcome, Vietnamese soldiers. Pawnee: Engage with Zorp." For a brief time in the '70s, our town was taken over by a cult. "Pawnee: Zorp is dead. Long live Zorp. Pawnee: It's safe to be here now. Pawnee: Birthplace of Julia Roberts." That was a lie, she sued, and so we had to change it. "Pawnee: Home of the world-famous Julia Roberts lawsuit." "Pawnee: Welcome, Taliban soldiers." And finally, our current slogan: "Pawnee: First in friendship, fourth in obesity."
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: So that's what today's forum is for. We're gonna hear suggestions from everyone, and then whichever items we generally agree on will go into the time capsule. Please remember this is a government project, so we need to refrain from corporate promotion and religious items. Who'd like to start?
Man: I think we should put in the Bible.
Leslie Knope: Great.
