Leslie Knope Quote #709

Quote from Leslie Knope in Born & Raised

Joan Callamezzo: So, Leslie. You're a real native of Pawnee, aren't you?
Leslie Knope: Yes, I was born and raised here, Joan. And I love the town so much, I literally wrote the book on it.
Joan Callamezzo: I have it right here. And also, in this hand, right here, I have a sticker. Which, when applied, legally determines the newest selection of Joan's book club.
Leslie Knope: [chuckles]
Joan Callamezzo: Uh...Oh...Whoa! Where-- over here? Back here? [chuckles] Where is it now?
Leslie Knope: Come on, stick it.
Joan Callamezzo: Ooh. Oh, hang on--
Leslie Knope: Stick the sticker. Stick the st--
Joan Callamezzo: No, no, no. Not so fast.

Quote from Tom

Tom: [sings] I'm tryin' to find the words to describe this girl Without bein' disrespectful
[aside to camera:]
Tom: Getting the book into Joan's book club will really help Leslie. But it'll also help my company, Entertainment 7Twenty. At the risk of bragging, one of the things I'm best at is riding coattails. Behind every successful man, is me, smiling and taking partial credit.

Quote from Ben

Tom: You gotta help me, man.
Ben: Why? Seems to be going the usual amount of gross.
Tom: No, this is way different. She's not married anymore. She had, like, five bottles of alcohol, she's callin' me "caramel." You've gotta throw some cold water on this situation. Start talkin' about nerd stuff.
Ben: You know, nerd culture is mainstream now. So when you use the word "nerd" derogatorily, means you're the one that's out of the zeitgeist.
