Leslie Knope Quote #524
Quote from Leslie Knope in Time Capsule
Leslie Knope: So we have one very moving case for Twilight. Anyone else? Great. Two people for Twilight.
Marcia Langman: Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm Marcia Langman from the Society for Family Stability Foundation. This book contains pagan creatures and strong sexual overtones. There are girls quivering. There are boys staring deeply into girls' eyes as they quiver and so forth. There really is a tremendous amount of quivering. It is anti-Christian, it is pro-quivering, and the government has no business promoting it. [applause]
Man: I totally disagree.
Leslie Knope: Well, now we have two people for Twilight.
Man: Absolutely not. I'm with the National Civil Liberties Association. That book actually contains overt Christian themes, and as such, has no business being associated with any government project.
Leslie Knope: So too Christian and not Christian enough? Do you see the irony here? No? Okay. Uh, Donna, why don't you put a question mark next Twilight?
Kelly Larson: No! You promised!
Marcia Langman: You promised? That's not fair!
Man: Wait, it's not a question of fairness. It's secul...
Marcia Langman: Go back to Russia, commie!
Kelly Larson: Hey, you go back to Russia! And you go back to wherever you came from!
Marcia Langman: Why would I go to Russia? I have no interest in traveling to Russia. Can I just say that?

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.
