Leslie Knope Quote #1566

Quote from Leslie Knope in Save JJ's

Roscoe: You guys, I don't know what this is about, but it's 4:13, so you got seven minutes.
Leslie Knope: Well, we just wanted to introduce you to the new home of the Gryzzl campus.
Roscoe: Are you tripping? We just spent $125 million to build our new campus in the Southern Indiana Foothills.
Ron Swanson: And you'll be spending another 100 million, at least, to construct the building, roads, plumbing, electrical.
Leslie Knope: Whereas here at Beachview Terrace, you can take over five entire square blocks of historic Pawnee.
Ben: Here's a complete proposal for Gryzzl's new regional corporate headquarters.
Roscoe: Is this paper? Oh, super throwback.
Ron Swanson: My company inspected all the buildings. They are disgusting, I grant you, but the guts are solid.
Ben: We've laid out construction costs, retail space options. You could build a much bigger campus in this neighborhood, and basically break even.
April: Plus, the best part, all the buildings come pre-graffitied.
Roscoe: That's true. We wouldn't have to hire Banksy. Okay, but we spent hella skrilla on this trill forest, so, what are we supposed to do with that?
Leslie Knope: Here's a far-out idea that just came to the top of my branium: why don't you donate that land to the National Parks Service? That would be pretty dope. And you could get some baller tax breaks that could help you with that mad stank construction cost-- I don't know, I'm sorry. I can't... I can't say those words.
Ben: You don't have to.
Roscoe: Okay, but why couldn't we just build the campus here, and then keep the land or sell it?
Ron Swanson: You could, but donating it will give you some good PR, which you desperately need.
Leslie Knope: I mean, look, we are glad that you picked Pawnee, but if you're gonna set up shop here, you need to make a covenant with the city. Show people that you're invested in this town. Start by cleaning up one part of Pawnee and preserving the other.

Leslie Knope: Ron? What do you say? Dynamic duo get together one more time to try to save JJ's Diner?

Quote from Ron Swanson

Leslie Knope: All right, everybody, listen up. We're here today because JJ's Diner has been a part of Pawnee for 41 years. And this man right here built that diner from the ground up with his own two hands.
JJ: That's not true.
Leslie Knope: It's called constructing a narrative, JJ. You stick to the breakfast. I'll deal with the politics. So, now, let's hear from a man who knows the value of things staying the same. Ron Swanson. [cheering]
Ron Swanson: I do not like rallies. And based on what I see from this vantage point, I do not like most of you. What I do like is breakfast food. JJ's has very good breakfast food, so it should remain open. Please do not approach me on the street after this event and attempt to talk to me. Our similarities begin and end with this single issue.
Leslie Knope: Ron Swanson.
