Leslie Knope Quote #786
Quote from Leslie Knope in Smallest Park
Leslie Knope: I never listened to what you wanted, or how you wanted us to be when things... Ended between us. I just decided what I wanted, and I got upset when you didn't want the same thing. I know that's not fair, and I'm very sorry.
Ben: Well, thank you. I appreciate that.
Leslie Knope: If you don't want to have any more contact with me, I finally understand.
Ben: I--I don't want that. Really. But I just think it's for the best.
Leslie Knope: Okay.
Ben: Okay. Okay.
Leslie Knope: There is another option. We could just say "screw it" and do this thing for real.
Ben: What?
Leslie Knope: I miss you like crazy. I think about you all the time. I want to be with you. So let's just say "screw it."
Ben: No, we would have to tell Chris.
Leslie Knope: Yeah.
Ben: It could turn into a scandal.
Leslie Knope: Yeah.
Ben: It could hurt your campaign. I mean, how would you imagine we do this?
Leslie Knope: I don't know. But I--I know how I feel, and I want to be with you. But I'm done steamrolling people. This is how I feel. How do you feel?

Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: So, I have about nine things I need to talk to you about. The first is the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Do you know who's bringing scissors? Because I cannot tell you how many ceremonies get derailed when people don't bring scissors.

[aside to camera:]
Leslie Knope: Recently, the last remaining telephone booths in Pawnee were torn down, and on that patch of concrete, I am creating Pawnee's newest tourist attraction: The smallest park in Indiana. The title is currently held by Martin Luther King, Jr. Park in Terryville, but guess what? Terryville sucks old car tires, and so does Martin Luther- No, he does not suck old car tires. He was one of the greatest men in history. I'm sorry. Sometimes I get competitive.
