Leslie Knope Quote #285

Quote from Leslie Knope in Christmas Scandal

Leslie Knope: Councilman Dexhart, I'm Leslie knope.
Councilman Dexhart: Thank you for meeting me.
Leslie Knope: It's my pleasure. I am assuming this is about my performance in the Government Follies last night. I'd just like to say that I have nothing to apologize for. Except for perhaps being too incisive.
Councilman Dexhart: I don't want you to apologize. I want to know who told you.
Leslie Knope: Who told me? Nobody. Nobody told me nuttin'! What are we talking about?
Councilman Dexhart: Well, based on that skit, I know you've heard about the new scandal that's about to break. Who told you? Was it the babysitter? Was it the nurse who delivered our love child?
Leslie Knope: What?
Councilman Dexhart: Oh, stop playing dumb. You know damn well what happened. I got the babysitter pregnant. Then, when she was in the delivery room, I had sex with not one but four nurses in a supply closet. As well as a woman whose husband was getting a liver transplant. Now, which one of them told you? Was it the liver lady?
Leslie Knope: Well, I--no one-- I haven't-- I haven't heard any of this ever in my whole life.
Councilman Dexhart: Oh.
Leslie Knope: Believe me, I would have remembered this.
Councilman Dexhart: Okay. Well, in that case, everything I just told you was just a funny prank. [chuckles]
