Andy Quote #15
Leslie Knope: Okay, this pit. Give it to me straight. Are we ever gonna turn it into a park?
Mark: Leslie, this is already a park! Look, I mean, you got a dirt slide over here, you got ring around the diaper you could play there. [Leslie laughs] You've got duck, duck, glass you could play right there. Mystery trash. What's not to love about this park, right here, now? I wish we could turn it into a pit, frankly, don't you? But, seriously, I mean, really? Honestly, Leslie, it's gonna be a long, uphill battle. You are gonna be super annoyed with all the people that want you to fail. There is a sea of red tape, endless roadblocks. So, yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Leslie Knope: Screw it. I'm gonna try to do it anyway. [both laugh] I mean, Kennedy put a man on the moon.
Mark: He did.
Leslie Knope: I can build one park.
Mark: I really admire your tenacity.
Leslie Knope: I really admire you. [they kiss]
