Leslie Knope Quote #528
Quote from Leslie Knope in Time Capsule
Leslie Knope: "Dear Pawnee of the future, congratulations. You have found a time capsule that was buried over 50 years ago. We wanted to include a collection of items that would best represent what life was like in our town at that moment. Instead, you'll find only one item, a video recording of a public forum we held in order to determine just what those items would be. This is truly what life was like. A lot of people with a lot of opinions arguing passionately for what they believed in. So enjoy watching it. A- Assuming you still have electricity. And sorry about the weird blank gap in the middle. A man named Jerry Gergich screwed up the recording somehow. He had one job to do. Sincerely, Pawnee of the past."

Quote from Donna
Donna: You should listen to him. Those books are good.

Donna: Oh, I love any book about vampires, werewolves, monsters, zombies, sorcerers, beasties, or time-traveling romances. And if I had an hour alone with Robert Pattinson, he would forget all about Skinnylegs McGee. I'll tell you that much.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: And I am submitting this. A brief history of everything that has ever happened since Pawnee was founded. Not like you get extra credit for this, but I did type it from memory. And for the first time ever compiled, it includes a complete list of every official town slogan we've ever had.
April: Oh, my God, Leslie.
Leslie Knope: I know. Can you believe it?
April: That's crazy.
Leslie Knope: Isn't it?
[aside to camera:]
Leslie Knope: "Pawnee: The Paris of America. Pawnee: The Akron of Southwest Indiana. Pawnee: Welcome, German soldiers." After the Nazis took France, our mayor kind of panicked. "Pawnee: The factory fire capital of America. Pawnee: Welcome, Vietnamese soldiers. Pawnee: Engage with Zorp." For a brief time in the '70s, our town was taken over by a cult. "Pawnee: Zorp is dead. Long live Zorp. Pawnee: It's safe to be here now. Pawnee: Birthplace of Julia Roberts." That was a lie, she sued, and so we had to change it. "Pawnee: Home of the world-famous Julia Roberts lawsuit." "Pawnee: Welcome, Taliban soldiers." And finally, our current slogan: "Pawnee: First in friendship, fourth in obesity."
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: So that's what today's forum is for. We're gonna hear suggestions from everyone, and then whichever items we generally agree on will go into the time capsule. Please remember this is a government project, so we need to refrain from corporate promotion and religious items. Who'd like to start?
Man: I think we should put in the Bible.
Leslie Knope: Great.
