Leslie Knope Quote #1015
Quote from Leslie Knope in How a Bill Becomes a Law
Tom: Look, Jamm saw you on Pawnee Today. He knows how much you want this. He's just trying to get something in return. This is a bargaining tool.
Leslie Knope: You know, this is why people hate the government. 'Cause just when we're about to do something really good, it all falls apart due to some stupid, selfish jerk butt. You know, screw Jamm. Screw Jamm. I'm just going to try to get Councilman Milton's vote.
Tom: Milton? He's, like, 150 years old.
Leslie Knope: Yeah. He's got grandkids, okay? And--and kids love to swim. And he'll give us his vote. He's an old person, and I'll talk to him really slowly. He won't even know what he's doing. I just need to hurry up. How do I look?
Tom: I don't know how to answer that.
