Leslie Knope Quote #181
Quote from Leslie Knope in Sister City
Leslie Knope: Well, Raul, gentlemen, thank you for coming. Well, I would just like to first say, I am so sorry for blowing up yesterday. It was completely uncalled for.
Raul: Well, we are sorry as well. We were very tired from our long journey.
Elvis: Also, we were a bit jealous. Our colleagues from Caracas are visiting their sister city of Miami.
Raul: Yeah. They've been partying with Dwyane Wade. They sent us all these photos and QuickTime files. I mean, you have to see this place Miami. Just gorgeous, everything. There's so much soul and life everywhere! Every little tiny street, so much culture, and history! And the cars! People really take care of their cars there.
Elvis: I noticed that in the photos.
Raul: Clean and shiny. You notice that and they're a little older, but still just beautiful. Really, really nice. And the food, so spicy and wonderful. We could not even believe it. But Pawnee is really good as well.
Elvis: Yes.
Raul: In any case, I made a few phone calls, and the government of Venezuela has authorized a special gift for you. [slides over check]
Leslie Knope: $35,000?
Raul: Yes, it is to fill your pit to start to build a park.
Leslie Knope: No, no, we can't take this.
Raul: Yes, yes, yes. Please. We will see you later today at the photo-opportunity. And I think we're good here.

Leslie Knope: A key aspect to diplomacy is gift-giving. The gift has to be nice enough to honor and respect the guest, but not so nice that it shames him. Plus, it needs to represent the local culture. And I found the perfect thing.
[back:]
Leslie Knope: A bottle of high-fructose corn syrup, made right here in Pawnee's own Sweetums factory. Sweetums! If you can't beat 'em, Sweetums! Since 1891. And eight and a half dozen rubber baby bottle nipples, also made here in Pawnee. Kernston's Rubber Nipples, tastes like the real thing.
