Tom Quote #587
Tom: What up, playa? Just wanted to apologize for my intro running long. But, uh, you know. When it comes to inspirational Will Smith quotes, how are you gonna stop at ten?
Ben: You know, when the Chamber of Commerce asked you to introduce me, I was a little worried you would spend the entire time talking about yourself, which is exactly what you did.
Tom: I'm sorry. Truth is, they didn't ask me to introduce you. I asked them if I could do it. I was gonna talk about how I owe you so much. How you stood by me through all my failures and I stood by you through all your terrible outfits. But when I got up there, I got pretty emotional. To make it up to you, I'd like to read you the speech now. I've known a lot of ballers in my day. But no man balls harder than the man I'm about to bring up. He's kind, he's intelligent. [sobs] He's a person I'm deeply proud to call my friend.

Ben: Pretty good speech. I mean, it was, um... a little sappy, maybe. [sobs] I think I liked it.
Tom: [sobbing]

‘2017’ Quotes
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] This land is begging to be a new national park. And it's in my own backyard. This could be my crowning achievement. I could retire. I mean, I wouldn't. I'm gonna work until I'm 100 and then cut back to four days a week. Oh, God, I'm already so bored thinking about that one day off. Maybe I'll go to law school or something.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] That park is my dream. I'm not gonna let it slip away. Who cares if Gryzzl and Ron have more money? I have the most valuable currency in America. A blind, stubborn belief that what I am doing is 100% right.

[aside to camera:]
Tom: You are looking at one of Indiana Business monthly's 35 under 35. I own Pawnee's hottest restaurant, two fast-casual eateries, and the Tommy Chopper. We serve chopped salads out of a decommissioned military helicopter. I'm a mogul now.
