Leslie Knope Quote #946
Quote from Leslie Knope in The Debate
Fester Trim: I am Fester Trim. Many of you know me as the man who sells you your guns at the Gun-Believable Gun Emporium.
Man: Whoo!
Fester Trim: I want to tell you about my idea for assault rifle vending machines.
Brandi Maxxxx: You might be thinking, "what does an adult film star know about politics?" Well, I've produced and starred in over 400 adult films this year alone.
Man: Whoo!
Brandi Maxxxx: Thank you. And just like Leslie, I know what it's like to be the only woman in a room full of men.
Manrico Della Rossa: I am Manrico Della Rossa. I believe animals are as important as people. And if elected, I will fight for them as if they are my own children.
Leslie Knope: I am Leslie Knope. I love this town, and I've worked my whole life to make it great. I believe that I've earned your vote. Bobby Newport believes he can buy it. And maybe that's because he's never earned anything his entire life.
Bobby Newport: That--that hurt my feelings. Hurt my feelings. You're supposed to be this positive person. Can't we just talk about things we like? [applause]
Joan Callamezzo: Well said. Uh, just a reminder to our candidates to keep it civil. Looking at you, Leslie.
Bobby Newport: Ah, that's okay, Joan. I'm okay. I'm just-- [mouths words] I'm nervous, man. I'm nervous. Gah. I guess I want to do a good job because, um, I like it when people think I do a good job. And I want your vote because I want Pawnee and my dad to see what I'm made of. So let's do this. [cheers and applause] The wrecking crew. Who let you guys in? Hey, Jason.

Quote from Leslie Knope

Fester Trim: Once again, people, grenade launcher.
Bobby Newport: Daniel Craig. No... Timothy Dalton.

Quote from Leslie Knope
Perd Hapley: And, Leslie Knope, closing statement?
Leslie Knope: [exhales] I'm very angry. I'm angry that Bobby Newport would hold this town hostage and threaten to leave if you don't give him what he wants. It's despicable. Corporations are not allowed to dictate what a city needs. That power belongs to the people. Bobby Newport and his daddy would like you to think it belongs to them. I love this town. And when you love something, you don't threaten it. You don't punish it. You fight for it. You take care of it. You put it first. As your city councilor, I will make sure that no one takes advantage of Pawnee. If I seem too passionate, it's because I care. If I come on strong, it's because I feel strongly. And if push too hard, it's because things aren't moving fast enough. This is my home. You are my family. And I promise you... I'm not going anywhere.
Bobby Newport: Holy [bleep], Leslie, that was awesome.
Leslie Knope: Thanks, Bobby.
Quote from Andy
Andy: Scrawny Christians, missionaries, come to him, and they're like, "Are you John Rambo?" He's like, "Yeah." And they're like, "We need you to take us upriver." And he's like, "It's a war zone up there." And they're like, "Yeah, we know. We're gonna change things." And he's like, "You bringing any weapons?" They're like, "Of course not." "Then you're not changing anything. Go home." And then they come back in a rainstorm. This time he says, "Nope. Go home." They go home again. Bottom line, they go upriver. Does not go well.
