Quote from Leslie Knope in Bailout
Leslie Knope: Pawnee needs a place where the community can gather to discuss and appreciate art. A place where you can rent such films as Cinema Paradiso or Rashomon.
Ron Swanson: You rented Rashomon? What was your favorite part of that?
Leslie Knope: I haven't rented it, actually, yet. But I like the idea that there is a place where I could rent Rashomon.
Morris: Uh, you can just watch it online, for free, whenever you want.
Leslie Knope: Bailiff! Thank you, Mr. Swanson, for your absurd opinion, which is shared by no one. Now, are there any more public comments before we vote? [a long line forms] Mm.

Quote from Jerry
Ben: Okay, so you're really gonna say no to Ann?

Chris: I made everything worse. If Tom were a bag of flour, that flour would never grow up to be a happy, well-adjusted loaf of bread. Much less a bran muffin, which is the highest honor that flour can achieve.
