Leslie Knope Quote #853

Quote from Leslie Knope in Bowling for Votes

Woman: She's kinda short, don't you think? Aggressively short almost. It's like she's throwing it in my face.
Tom: Insightful.
Donna: You, sir, said you would not vote for her, correct?
Man: Yeah. Yeah, she seems a little uptight. She doesn't seem like the kind of person you could go bowling with, you know?
[on other side of the glass:]
Leslie Knope: What? That's ridiculous. I am excellent at bowling. Ask Ron.
Ben: Leslie, I know it's tough to hear these things, but just try not to get obsessed over one comment.
Leslie Knope: You're totally right. I'm not obsessing.
Ben: Okay, what are you doing?
Leslie Knope: I'm just reminding myself to tell Ron to tell you how good I am at bowling.
Ben: Okay.
[back:]
Man: I actually thought that she was smart, and I'd vote for her. There you go. Although I once knew a Leslie, and, uh, she was just awful. So now I hate all Leslies. Would she consider changing her name? [Leslie storms out of the observation room]

Quote from April

April: [on the phone] Hello, is this Mrs. Gallivan? Well, my name is April, and wouldn't you know it, I'm raising money for a city council candidate I believe in. [cut] No, mira, mira, mira, mira, mira. It's, like, whatever you want. Like, $10. It don't matter. [cut; in Southern accent:] Well, I reckon it's just like grammy Martha told me and my cousins, "You can't eat the biscuits if you don't pay for the flour." [laughs, mouths words]
