Leslie Knope Quote #814
Quote from Leslie Knope in Citizen Knope
William Barnes: Well, before the scandal, you were at 26%. Now, we knew we'd take a hit, but we figured as long as we're at 15% or above, we're still in the fight.
Leslie Knope: And we're at 15%? We went back to 26%? Whoa, wait. 50%?
Elizabeth: We're at one.
Leslie Knope: One... hundred?
William Barnes: You're polling at 1%.
Leslie Knope: What? No. That can't be right. Okay, well, what we do is we move forward from this. How do we put a positive spin on this?
Elizabeth: There's no way to spin this.
Leslie Knope: Sure there is. You're looking at the glass like it's 99% empty. I'm looking at it like it's 1% full. You know, the last delicious sip of a milkshake at the bottom of the metal milkshakey thing?
