Leslie Knope Quote #1637
Quote from Leslie Knope in One Last Ride (Part 2)
[Pawnee, 2025:]
Ben: So did anyone have any insights on our "running for governor" situation?
Leslie Knope: I've been so busy catching up with everyone, I haven't had a chance to ask them.
Ben: Yeah, me neither.
Leslie Knope: Okay, here's what I think. I hate when we're on opposite sides. It stinks. Plus, if one of us runs, it doesn't mean we're gonna win.
Ben: Right, and it's not like this is the only career option for either of us. So all that matters is that we are good.
Leslie Knope: Right, which is why I have an idea. I think we should flip a coin. I mean it. Let's literally flip a coin, because whoever runs is gonna do a great job, and whoever doesn't run is gonna be right alongside the other one, offering advice and support and whatever they need. So it doesn't matter. So let's flip a coin.
Ben: Okay, you, Leslie Knope, the queen of planning and binders and pro-and-con lists, you want to leave this to chance?
Leslie Knope: Yes, because whatever's next, you and I are in it together. So let's go tell everybody, and they can participate, and they can sign the coin, and then, you know, the coin will eventually make its way into the Smithsonian.

Quote from Ron Swanson
[Pawnee National Park, 2022:]
Leslie Knope: Let's go meet your staff. Pawnee National Park rangers, this is Ron Swanson, your new superintendent and boss.
Ron Swanson: Rangers, my name is Ronald Ulysses Swanson. Your job and mine is to walk this land and make sure no one harms it. If you show up on time, speak honestly, and treat everyone with fairness, we will get along just fine. Though hopefully not too fine, as I'm not looking for any new friends. End of speech.
Leslie Knope: Well said.
Ron Swanson: Thank you, Leslie.
Leslie Knope: You're welcome, Ron.
Ron Swanson: Okay. Time to go to work.
