Leslie Knope Quote #1000
Quote from Leslie Knope in Soda Tax
Leslie Knope: Ms. Pinewood, recently, many of the local restaurants have changed their "small-size" option to a whopping 64-ounces.
Kathryn Pinewood: That's correct, and it's great for the consumer. More bang for the buck. Are we putting bargains on trial here?
Ann: How could any sane person call that "small"?
Kathryn Pinewood: Well, if the customer truly wants a smaller size, there is an option.
Ann: Oh, do you mean the "li'I swallow"? Does anybody buy that?
Kathryn Pinewood: Some girls buy them for their dollhouses, but they're not very popular. I mean, for only a nickel more, you get 64 ounces.
Leslie Knope: Well, uh, Paunch Burger just recently came out with a new 128-ounce option. Most people call it a gallon, but they call it the "regular." Then, there is a horrifying 512-ounce version that the call "child size." How is this a "child-size soda"?
Kathryn Pinewood: Well, it's roughly the size of a two-year-old child, if the child were liquefied. It's a real bargain at $1.59.
Leslie Knope: I'm sorry, Ms. Pinewood, but why would anybody need this much soda?
Kathryn Pinewood: It's not my place to speak for the consumer, but everyone should buy it.

‘Soda Tax’ Quotes
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera:] My first act as a city councilwoman? I've proposed a tax on all those giant sugary sodas so we can discourage people from drinking them. I believe, with my help, all local restaurants can get healthier. Paunch Burger, Big and Wide, The Fat Sack, Colonel Plump's Slop Trough, which was formerly Sue's Salads until we ran that out of town.
Quote from Ben
Ben: Hey, everybody. So, I've been going over your reports. Let's try to be consistent with our fonts, guys, okay? There's a crazy amount of random font differences in these memos.
April: Yeah, people. Consistent font usage. Come on.
Ben: Times New Roman, across the board. No Geneva, no Garamond, definitely no Papyrus.
April: Papyrus? Are you kidding me? There's no place for that in a professional office setting.
Ben: Yes! Thank you, April.
[aside to camera:]
Ben: These college interns really need to be whipped into shape, but don't worry, because they call me Devo, 'cause I can "whip 'em good."
[back:]
Ben: And obviously make sure the content's perfect too. Oh, and, uh, 12 point. 13's just obnoxious. Great meeting.
Quote from Ron Swanson
Ron Swanson: Ah, councilwoman. In honor of your never-ending quest to personally babysit each and every American citizen, I went to Paunch Burger and got myself a Number two. Double Bacon Grenade Deluxe, hash browns, chili cheese fries, and one poached egg.
Ann: Ugh! Number two is right.
Ron Swanson: I also picked up a 64-ounce Sweetums Sugar Splash. Damn it, I love this country so much.
