Leslie Knope Quote #291
Quote from Leslie Knope in Christmas Scandal
Ann: It was way too easy to get this guy here.
Leslie Knope: Councilman Dexhart, this has gone far enough. I want you to hold a press conference and clear my name.
Councilman Dexhart: Mmm, no, thanks.
Ann: Why not? What's in it for you?
Councilman Dexhart: Well, to be honest, being linked to Leslie Is a lot less damning than the real story. You're like a glass of whole milk. What are you, Lutheran? I love Lutherans.
Leslie Knope: Councilman, with all due respect, get a grip. If you don't hold a press conference, I'm gonna come forward and tell the whole story.
Councilman Dexhart: It won't do you any good. Take it from me, denying only makes things worse. Listen, I gotta go. I'm expected at two different maternity wards. But before I go, I'd be remiss if I didn't ask. Should we?
Leslie Knope: Oh, my God!
Councilman Dexhart: People already think we did it. You've got nothing to lose. I'm very good.
Leslie Knope: Get outta here!

Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] In a 24-hour news cycle, the tiniest story gets dissected over and over again. In 2004, a kid from Pawnee went to the Olympics, and it was reported on for over a year. He wasn't even competing or anything. He just was going, literally, to watch the Olympics.
