Mark Quote #29
Joe: Hey, Knope. How's life in the Parks De-fart-ment?
Leslie Knope: Better than life in the Sewage De-fart-ment. Which makes more sense.
Joe: Whatever. You guys are screwed. Get used to this. Because it's going to be hanging on the wall right outside your door for the next 100 years. That was pretty good. You think they're going to win?
Mark: No. No. They went super patriotic. It's a classic mistake. It seems crowd-pleasing, but it's still a stance. And in government, there's always someone who will oppose a stance. Us? Old man feeding pigeons? No stance. Absolutely no point of view whatsoever.
Leslie Knope: No point of view. Smart.

Quote from Donna
Donna: So, it's the Last Supper, but with famous people from Indiana. Mmm-hmm. John Mellencamp, Larry Bird, Michael Jackson, uh, David Letterman, Vivica A. Fox. Okay, so, here's where it gets a little dicey. Because there's not that many celebrities from Indiana. So, a NASCAR. Uh, my friend, Becky. Ron Swanson.
Leslie Knope: Donna? Who's the Jesus?
Donna: That would be Greg Kinnear.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Paul: Okay. As everybody knows, The Spirit of Pawnee was defaced again last night.
Leslie Knope: What was it this time?
Paul: Chocolate pudding.
Leslie Knope: Huh. That's new.
[aside to camera:]
Leslie Knope: The mural that normally resides here is called The Spirit of Pawnee. And it's very controversial. We've had someone throw acid at it, tomato sauce. Someone tried to stab it once. We really need better security here. We also need better, less-offensive history.
