Leslie Knope Quote #967
Quote from Leslie Knope in Bus Tour
Leslie Knope: Hey, can we talk for a second? Look, I just wanted to say I'm really sorry your dad died, and I'm really, really sorry I called him a jerk.
Bobby Newport: That's okay. He was, like, a million years old. And he was kind of a jerk. The only reason I did this campaign was to impress him, and he couldn't have cared less.
Leslie Knope: You know, my mom was a great athlete when she was a kid. So in junior high, I joined the track team to impress her, even though I hated it. And at the end of the year, I ran the 5,000 meters in this huge track event. And I finished dead last. And I thought that she was going to be really disappointed in me. But she wasn't. She ran up to me, and she wrapped me up in this big hug, and she told me she had never been more proud of me.
Bobby Newport: Thanks, Leslie. That's a great story. I'm not 100% sure I get the point, but--
Leslie Knope: You finished this race, Bobby. The campaign is over, and you finished. Win or lose, I bet you anything that your dad was proud of you.
Bobby Newport: Now I get it.
Leslie Knope: There you go.
Bobby Newport: Your mom and my dad are both dicks.

Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] We've come so far. I want this so bad, I can taste it. When I close my eyes, I can picture the flash of the cameras at my swearing in. And I can hear the sound of the applause when I take my oath. And I can see in the crowd president Obama smiling at me. He made it. I didn't think he would come, but he made it. Hey, buddy.
Quote from Andy
Andy: A few days ago, on a routine campaign stop in downtown Pawnee, one Leslie Knope - pause - was attacked - play - by a pie. Luckily, it only hit Jerry, so no damage was done. Play. The only evidence we have is a video shot by - pause - my wife, April Ludgate. This is Burt Macklin's greatest assignment yet. If you are watching, perpetrator, just know that you are still at large.
Quote from Chris
Chris: [aside to camera while cycling] This has been a difficult year for me, romantically. Millicent Gergich, Ann Perkins, Andy's professor-- lots of disappointment, but if I keep my body moving and my mind occupied at all times, I will avoid falling into a bottomless pit of despair.
