Ron Swanson Quote #287
Quote from Ron Swanson in Sweet Sixteen
Ron Swanson: I now officially insist that you take a sabbatical.
Leslie Knope: No, no.
Ron Swanson: Let me finish. I used to work in a sheet metal factory, but then a job came along at the tannery. The hours were better, and I would get paid. Also I'd have the chance to work with leather both before and after it was on the cow, which had always been a dream of mine. I didn't want to give up my sheet metal job, so I tried to do both jobs and finish middle school.
Leslie Knope: How old were you?
Ron Swanson: 11. The point is, I was so tired, I tried to puncture an eight-gauge aluminum foil with a leather awl. [laughs]
Leslie Knope: Wow.
Ron Swanson: I learned a lesson. Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing. So if you want to win that seat--
Leslie Knope: Which I do.
Ron Swanson: Then commit yourself 100%. Take a sabbatical.

Quote from Donna
Leslie Knope: Donna, can we use your lake house?
Donna: How did you know about that?
[aside to camera:]
Donna: My family has a lake house up in the foothills, but we keep it quiet. We're not big on hospitality. The Meagles are a cold people.
[back:]
Leslie Knope: Can we use your house?
Donna: I suppose. Bring your own towels.
Quote from Jerry
Leslie Knope: Jerry, I wanted to say I'm sorry that I screwed up your birthday party.

Leslie Knope: But we all pitched in. And we are sending you and Gayle to a B&B in your favorite place in the world.
Jerry: Muncie?
Leslie Knope: Amazingly, yes. Muncie, Indiana.
Jerry: [sighs] Thank you, guys. It was really expensive.
Quote from Donna
Ann: Wow, Donna. This place is beautiful.
Donna: Yes, it is, and it will stay that way. These are the house rules. No dirty shoes in the house. Upstairs is Meagle space only. And if you listen closely, that is the bubbling of the hot tub. You do not have access to it. If you follow these rules, we won't have a problem.
