Ron Swanson Quote #10
Quote from Ron Swanson in Boys' Club
Ron Swanson: [groans] We've been over this. What more could you guys possibly want her to do?
Phil: Well, we don't know yet. Frankly we've got a lot more questions.
Leslie Knope: Ron, it's okay.
Ron Swanson: No, it's not. This is not communist China. You cannot make her whip herself. You cannot make her wear a hair shirt.
Phil: We weren't planning on doing either of those things.
Ron Swanson: This is America. You want to live in North Korea, you can live in North Korea. I don't want to. I want to live in America. Leslie has never broken a rule in her life, to the point that it's annoying. If you want to slap her on the wrist, go ahead. If you want to do anything more serious, you're gonna have to go through me. Let's go.

‘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.
