Leslie Knope Quote #1001
Quote from Leslie Knope in Soda Tax
Kathryn Pinewood: Ms. Knope, this is about consumer rights, and if they don't want to drink our delicious sodas, we do provide healthier options, like water zero.
Leslie Knope: Oh, yes. Let's talk about water zero. The name implies that there are zero calories, like most water, but in fact, it has 300 calories per serving. Isn't that misleading?
Kathryn Pinewood: The zero on the label refers to the amount of water in it, which is zero. If you want zero-calorie water, try diet water zero lite. It has only 60 calories.

Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera:] My first act as a city councilwoman? I've proposed a tax on all those giant sugary sodas so we can discourage people from drinking them. I believe, with my help, all local restaurants can get healthier. Paunch Burger, Big and Wide, The Fat Sack, Colonel Plump's Slop Trough, which was formerly Sue's Salads until we ran that out of town.
Quote from Ben
Ben: Hey, everybody. So, I've been going over your reports. Let's try to be consistent with our fonts, guys, okay? There's a crazy amount of random font differences in these memos.
April: Yeah, people. Consistent font usage. Come on.
Ben: Times New Roman, across the board. No Geneva, no Garamond, definitely no Papyrus.
April: Papyrus? Are you kidding me? There's no place for that in a professional office setting.
Ben: Yes! Thank you, April.
[aside to camera:]
Ben: These college interns really need to be whipped into shape, but don't worry, because they call me Devo, 'cause I can "whip 'em good."
[back:]
Ben: And obviously make sure the content's perfect too. Oh, and, uh, 12 point. 13's just obnoxious. Great meeting.
Quote from Ron Swanson
Ron Swanson: Ah, councilwoman. In honor of your never-ending quest to personally babysit each and every American citizen, I went to Paunch Burger and got myself a Number two. Double Bacon Grenade Deluxe, hash browns, chili cheese fries, and one poached egg.
Ann: Ugh! Number two is right.
Ron Swanson: I also picked up a 64-ounce Sweetums Sugar Splash. Damn it, I love this country so much.
