Ben Quote #188
Quote from Ben in Correspondents' Lunch
Jessica Wicks: The redneck ambulance is a great choice. We can release a publicity shot of a bucktoothed hayseed taking medicine for the first time in his life.
Ben: We can figure out the photo later.
Jessica Wicks: Oh, I forgot! It's Fondue Friday. Yay!
Ben: Yeah, also, as President of the foundation, I'm making a few changes. I'm giving up this office. And no more visits from a masseuse or fancy lunches. It's way out of hand.
Jessica Wicks: Sweetie, all the money we spend on the foundation is tax deductible.
Ben: I know, and it's a huge waste of money. I mean, there's plenty of cheap office space around. And I have an idea for how to use some of the money we'll save.
Jessica Wicks: [laughs] Get yourself a matching nude portrait? I can call the painter.
Ben: Please don't.

Quote from Ron Swanson
Leslie Knope: I have a press conference about the Pawnee Commons in two hours. So I need to go through every email that I've ever sent, ever. I need to know what they might use against me.
Ron Swanson: You can't hack into a typewriter. That's all I have to say.
Leslie Knope: Can it, Unabomber. This is an emergency.
Quote from April
Ben: Andy, are you okay?
Andy: Oh, I'm fine. It's just that life is pointless and nothing matters and I'm always tired. Also, I can't sleep, I'm overeating, none of my old hobbies interest me.
[aside to camera:]
April: Ever since Andy failed the police academy exam, his self-esteem has hit rock bottom. He's always sad and sweaty. He's usually happy and sweaty.
