Leslie Knope Quote #1360
Quote from Leslie Knope in New Beginnings
Carter: We're here to discuss a business contract for the Lafayette Park food stand. Miss Knope, you've always steered this committee in the right direction. Why do you think we should renew Hot Stu's lease?
Leslie Knope: Well, frankly, it's because of Stu. Here's a man who was ready to retire, spend time with his family, travel. And then he realized, "No, I wanna spend my time in a small metal box all summer, bent over a boiling cauldron of steaming, bubbling meat." Making stew is hard: Up at the crack of dawn, backbreaking labor, your clothes smelling like salt and gristle. Sure, profits are minimal, but Stu doesn't care about that. Maybe a year extension isn't enough. Maybe we should make it five years. Heck, why don't we give him a lifetime deal? I'd like to see Stu ladling out his pungent beef smoothies until we bury him under that shed.
Stu: I think I've made a terrible mistake.
Carter: Okay, that was bleak.

Quote from Tom
Leslie Knope: I know you were excited to get in front of the committee and rip it, but in the spirit of teamwork, I unilaterally decided to bring Stu out of retirement. So pressure's off.
Tom: What? I spent a lot of time on this.
Leslie Knope: Doin' what, putting mousse in your hair?
Tom: It's a gel-based serum. Second of all, who uses mousse still? Oh, God. Leslie. Let's put our differences aside for a second. Friend to friend, do you still use mousse?
Leslie Knope: No, I use the juicy space thing. Whatever you do.
