Leslie Knope Quote #1533
Quote from Leslie Knope in William Henry Harrison
Leslie Knope: Good evening. Pawnee is a place of culture, history, and heritage, and the National Park Service is proud to say that we've discovered a new chapter in the life of local hero and president, William Henry Harrison. [Hail to the Chief plays] A heretofore unknown hunting lodge was recently discovered smack dab in the middle of the Newport land. What great historical moments took place within these hallowed halls? Did Harrison plan his presidential campaign while sitting around the hearth? Which used to be there. Did he write letters to Thomas Jefferson on his roll top desk? Which, you know, I don't know, might have existed. The point is, William Henry Harrison would have wanted this land preserved as a national park. Don't believe me? Let's ask him. In the form of his direct descendant, Zachary.
Zack Harrison: Hi, I'm Zack. Harrison.
Leslie Knope: Amazing.
Leslie Knope: Zachary, what is it like being a descendant of William Henry Harrison?
Zack Harrison: Uh, Harrison's a pretty common last name.
Leslie Knope: Okay, sit.

Quote from Ron Swanson
Roscoe: Gryzzl is an outsider here in Pawnee, so a local celebrity is gonna make everyone feel more at ease with us. And that's why we called on you home court chillers to frack your braniums.
Tom: Since we're locals, they want us to think of ideas.
Ron Swanson: I got it from context.
Tom: Okay.

Ron Swanson: I have no interest in consorting with celebrities. The only celebrities I recognize are furniture maker Garry Knox Bennett, designer of the notorious 16 Penny Nail Cabinet, and Magnus, the five-by-five bull elk I saw near my cabin two years ago. Took a shot at the bastard and he stuck his antlers through the door of my meat shed. One day, Magnus, I will wear you as a jacket.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Bill: Hi, Leslie. Bill Haggerty from the Pawnee Historical Society.
Leslie Knope: Oh, yes, Bill. I remember you.
Bill: I heard you were looking for information on the Newport land, and I have some very exciting news for you. It concerns William Henry Harrison.
[aside to camera:]
Leslie Knope: We claim William Henry Harrison as a hero because he was the first governor of the Indiana territories, and then President of the United States. We're also a little ashamed of him because he didn't wear a coat at his inauguration, caught a bad cold and died 32 days later. He's an embarrassing footnote. But he's our embarrassing footnote.
Quote from Jerry
Ben: Could you please focus? It'll take two minutes. And all signatures need to be notarized, and I really don't want to have to schedule two different notary appointments.
Jerry: Uh, not to eavesdrop, but I have a crazy story. I recently had a bit of a health scare, just a couple weeks in the hospital.
Andy: Oh, God. This story's terrible so far.
Jerry: Anyway, I became really motivated once I got out to finally live life to the fullest. So...I fulfilled one of my lifelong dreams. And I became a notary public. So if I go with you, Ron and Leslie can sign the document separately.
