Quote from Ben in The Bubble
Kim: [enters] Education Department now officially requesting ten school buses.
Leslie Knope: I thought they only wanted four.
Ben: Well, now that I'm a pushover, why not ask for 10, or 20, or 100 new school buses and a fleet of school yachts? How about that?
Leslie Knope: Hmm.
Ben: Here's what we're gonna do. You are gonna tell me everything there is to know about your mom, and I'm gonna have another meeting with her, and we're gonna have it out.
Leslie Knope: Or... we could go to Belize and go scuba diving. And we could look at the whale sharks. You're certified, right? Let's get you certified.

Quote from Andy
Andy: Margaret's pecan squares. They are like crack. I brought you one.
Tom: How are you so happy working here?
Andy: I don't know, man. It's not that bad. A year ago I lived in a pit. Now I got a job, and a kickass wife, and my band is so good, and are you gonna eat that pecan square? When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. I read that once on a can of lemonade, but I like to think that it applies to life.

Ron Swanson: Excellent idea.
[aside to camera:]
Ron Swanson: This is my favorite part about having a new city manager. They always try to shake things up, and their ideas are terrible, and it brings City Hall to a grinding halt. I just grab a few donuts, sit back, and enjoy the show.
Quote from Chris
Ron Swanson: I got a second box of donuts, if anybody... What the [bleep] is this?
Chris: This, Mr. Director, is your new desk.
Ron Swanson: Okay...
Chris: This desk is the epitome of the Swedish concept of Jamstalldhet, or "equality." Imagine someone needs your attention. Somebody say my name.
Jerry: Chris.
Chris: Swivel! What is it, Jerry?
Jerry: You told me to say your name.
Chris: And you did a great job, superstar. Someone else say something.
April: You look like a freak.
Chris: Swivel! April, that is not a very good attitude. I will keep my eye on you from my circular desk where I can see everything. Tiny swivel. See how it works?
