Leslie Knope: [groans]
Marlene Knope: I'm sorry. Did you expect me to give birth to you in an infested, disease-filled room?

Quote from Tom
Tom: [sings] I'm tryin' to find the words to describe this girl Without bein' disrespectful

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.
