Leslie Knope Quote #1173
Quote from Leslie Knope in Bailout
Ron Swanson: Councilwoman. I just came down to see the effects of your government intervention, and I've got to hand it to you. You really turned this place around.
Leslie Knope: Really? Oh, my God, this is amazing, Dennis.
Dennis Lerpiss: Hey.
Leslie Knope: You did it! We did it! I did it. This is me.
Ron Swanson: Yes, it was.
Dennis Lerpiss: I took your advice. Got rid of all those dusty, old foreign films and used the money for the part of our business that's always done pretty well for us. Give the people what they want, right?
Leslie Knope: This isn't what people want.
Andy: It's definitely what that guy wants.
Herman Lerpiss: I like this store now.
Leslie Knope: Do you realize what you have done? The Pawnee government now effectively owns a porn shop. You have made us porn peddlers!

Quote from Jerry
Ben: Okay, so you're really gonna say no to Ann?
Chris: I care about Ann very deeply, but... I just don't know if I'm cut out to be a dad.
Jerry: You know, Chris, every parent makes mistakes. I mean, lord knows I've made plenty. But it's the small victories that keep you going. When you see your little one take her first step or... or graduate college, oh, my God, it just makes it all worth it. [chuckles] And another thing is if-- If, like-- If I-- [exhales] You know, and then your kid's-- because you're like--vrrrr-- I don't know. And everyone's like, "Oh." [babbles] Oh, I'm sorry, guys. I--no one ever lets me talk this long. I just got lost.

Quote from Chris
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.
