Leslie Knope Quote #79
Quote from Leslie Knope in The Banquet
Leslie Knope: So, what's the inside scoop, Salvatore?
Salvatore: My feet hurt.
Leslie Knope: [laughs] Classic Salvatore!
Salvatore: Do I know you?
Leslie Knope: Uh, no. This is my first official political haircut. I'm Leslie Knope, Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation.
Salvatore: Are you related to that Marlene Something-Knope?
Leslie Knope: That depends. Would you call being her daughter related?
Salvatore: What the hell else would you call it? Now, what do you want me to do with this?
Leslie Knope: Well, my mom is being honored tonight. So, in a way, I am also being honored. And I just wanted to mix things up a little bit, you know? Pin it up, something sassy, but powerful and dynastic.

‘The Banquet’ Quotes
Quote from Ron Swanson
Ron Swanson: [aside to camera] I enjoy government functions like I enjoy getting kicked in the nuggets with a steel-toe boot. But this hotel always serves bacon-wrapped shrimp. That's my number one favorite food wrapped around my number three favorite food. I'd go to a banquet in honor of those Somali pirates if they served bacon-wrapped shrimp. Excuse me.
Quote from Ron Swanson
[aside to camera:]
Ron Swanson: I refuse to lather Marlene up, kiss her ring like everybody else. Instead I'll be delivering a speech of facts.
[later:]
Ron Swanson: Marlene is a woman. She has worked in the government for three decades. Thirty years. Properly applied, that's how long a good varnish should last. So, Marlene, it is true that you have won this award.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: This is very exciting. This is a big night. We are gonna meet some powerful people tonight, so take this down.
Tom: Mmm-hmm.
Leslie Knope: Good evening. Marlene Griggs-Knope is my mother.
[aside to camera:]
Leslie Knope: How important are speeches? I don't know, ask the Gettysburg Address. Oh, it didn't answer your call? Maybe because it was in the Smithsonian.
