Leslie Knope Quote #88
Quote from Leslie Knope in The Banquet
Leslie Knope: I just wanted to tell you that I didn't go through with it, blackmailing that woman. I tried, but I just couldn't do it.

Leslie Knope: No. What?
Ann: Yeah. I'm sorry.
Leslie Knope: Me, too. [they hug]
Andy: Oh. Whoa! Hey! What the hell? Oh. Hi, Leslie. I thought you were a dude.

‘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.

[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.
