Tom Quote #21
Quote from Tom in Boys' Club
Tom: How many sexual partners have you had in the last year?
Leslie Knope: Are they gonna ask that?
Tom: This is a deposition-style hearing, Miss Knope. Nothing is off-limits. You have to answer. Now, how many sexual partners have you had in the last year?
Leslie Knope: Zero to six.
Tom: Zero. Have you ever thought about Ron sexually?
Leslie Knope: What?
Tom: Including dreams. Have you ever had a sexual dream about our boss, Ron Swanson?
Leslie Knope: No! Absolutely not. No.
Tom: Yes.
Leslie Knope: No.
Tom: Now, in this recurring dream that you have about Ron, is he like a regular Ron, or is he half-Ron, half-animal, like a centaur?
Leslie Knope: What? No...
Tom: Is he wearing a football uniform? Are you making love to him on a couch shaped like his mustache? Is he covered in Powerade?
Leslie Knope: No, okay. Time-out. Time-out.
Tom: This committee doesn't take time-outs, Miss Knope. Now answer the question!
Leslie Knope: I need something to drink.
Tom: How about some stolen wine?
Leslie Knope: No. I meant water.
Tom: Thank you for your time, Miss Knope. You're fired. So, that's kind of your worst-case scenario, you know? If you can handle that, I think you'll be fine.

‘Boys' Club’ Quotes
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] Good morning. Last night, in a foolish attempt to infiltrate a boys' club, I violated the government employee ethics code of the state of Indiana. I have always tried to live my life in an ethical way, and last night, I failed. I realize I have let down every female public official in America, and I would like to apologize to them, right now, individually, and in alphabetical order. Michele Bachmann, Republican, Minnesota. I am sorry. Tammy Baldwin, Democrat, Wisconsin. I'm so sorry, Tammy. Melissa Bean.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] Politics is full of boys' clubs, formal and informal. Behind me are all the members of the city council over the past 30 years. And every day, as a woman, I have to walk past this wall of men. It can be very upsetting. Especially because of that guy. No matter what direction I move, he's always staring at my chest. Hmm. See?
Quote from Ron Swanson
Ron Swanson: So, after all that, it's really not that bad. You're gonna get a letter in your file.
Leslie Knope: Ron, I just wanted to say thank you, so...
Ron Swanson: Don't worry about it.
[aside to camera:]
Ron Swanson: No, I didn't do it for Leslie. I did it because I hate bureaucracy. My idea of a perfect government is one guy, who sits in a small room at a desk, and the only thing he's allowed to decide is who to nuke. The man is chosen based on some kind of IQ test, and maybe also a physical tournament, like a decathlon. And women are brought to him, maybe, when he desires them.
