Leslie Knope Quote #1195
Quote from Leslie Knope in Article Two
Garth Blundin: The Pawnee charter is not a "living document," Ms. Knope. You have no respect for the traditions of this town.
Leslie Knope: I absolutely do. I used to give tours at the Pawnee Historical House. Three times, "Employee Of The Fortnight."
Garth Blundin: Oh, big deal, you put on a costume for a couple hours. By that logic, every time I go to bed at night, I am Wolverine.
Leslie Knope: You bought X-Men pajamas?
Garth Blundin: I won them, madam, in a raffle.
Leslie Knope: The point is is that our Founding Fathers were brilliant and they were courageous, but they also had wooden teeth and pooped in holes in the ground. It was a more primitive time.
Garth Blundin: It was a better time. You wouldn't have survived two weeks in their day.
Leslie Knope: Oh, really? How about a little wager? How about you and I go live in that historical house, no modern technology, 1817 rules. If you last longer, I withdraw my bill. I win, you stop this nonsense.
Garth Blundin: [laughs] You have yourself a deal.

Quote from Ron Swanson
Ron Swanson: [aside to camera] Normally, if given a choice between doing something and nothing, I'd choose to do nothing. But I will do something if it helps someone else do nothing. I'd work all night if it meant nothing got done.
Quote from Ann
Ann: JJ's diner put an old waffle iron up for auction. It's the perfect breakfast day gift for Leslie.
Donna: "Breakfast day"?
[aside to camera:]
Ann: Leslie has anniversaries for everything. "Zoo day," first time we went to the zoo together. "Double date day," it was the first time we went on a double date. "Daniel Day-Lewis day." "Talk-like-a-pirate day." "Talk-like-a-Pittsburgh-pirate day," which why and how? This calendar was last year's calendar day present celebrating the first time she ever bought me a calendar.
Quote from Tom
Garth Blundin: Yeah, nothing warms the blood like an old whirly-bout with the old butter-gyre, eh, Leslie?
Leslie Knope: Indeed. Man, this guy's tougher than I thought.
Tom: I don't know how either of you guys are doing this. One time my refrigerator stopped working, I didn't know what to do. I just moved.
