Quote from Leslie Knope in Canvassing
Ann: Hmm, he said some upsetting things. I can't believe you gave him your home phone number.
Leslie Knope: Well, I'm a public servant. I need to be accessible.
Ann: What the hell is wrong with people? I should show them Andy's medical bills. Maybe they'd have a little sympathy.
Leslie Knope: Oh, my God. Ann! Game changer. You just busted the game wide open.

Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] Why do I want to build this park so bad? Maybe because a pit filled with garbage isn't the best that we can do in America. You know, in Russia, they could pretend that pit was a park, bring their kids down there. "Hey, Vlad! Look at these rocks! Let's pretend they're potatoes!" "Nikolai! Do you want to swim in the dirt?" But not here. Okay? 'Cause we're a nation of dreamers. And it is my dream to build a park. That I one day visit with my White House staff on my birthday. And they say, "President Knope, this park is awesome. Now we understand why you are the first female President of the United States."
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] I'm going to see my mom. She's a big mucky-muck in the county school system. She's my hero. How do I explain her? She's as respected as Mother Teresa. She's as powerful as Stalin, and she's as beautiful as Margaret Thatcher.
