Leslie Knope Quote #1302
Quote from Leslie Knope in Filibuster
Councilman Jamm: Hey, Knope! Wrap it up!
Leslie Knope: I'm not gonna yield. I just--I need some time to think. And because I must keep talking, I'm gonna think out loud. Okay, if Eagletonians vote for someone else, then it would be in my best interest to stop, right? So they can't vote.
Councilman Jamm: Uh, da-doy. Yield.
Leslie Knope: Or I keep going, because the right to vote is fundamental in any democracy, and this is bigger than me or anyone. I don't care if I lose. No one prevents people in my town from voting. Not on my watch. The filibuster is on!
All: Yeah!

Quote from April
April: I'm gonna tell you a secret about everyone else's job.
Andy: Okay.
April: No one knows what they're doing. I don't know how to run an animal control department. Half the documents I get I put right into the shredder because they're so boring.
Andy: But you seem like you do know what you're doing.
April: Yeah, I seem like it. Deep down, everyone is just faking it until they figure it out. And you will too, because you are awesome and everyone else sucks.
Quote from Ben
[aside to camera:]
Leslie Knope: Tonight, I am throwing Ben his dream birthday party, a roller skating bash with an early '90s theme. Ben lives for the early '90s. The music, the fashion. It's his favorite era. As for the roller skating...
[separately to camera:]
Ben: I have a thing for women in skates. Okay? Everyone has a thing, and that's mine. As far as things go, it's pretty innocuous. Could be one of those dudes that kisses mannequins or whatever, but I like a woman in skates. A lot.
Quote from Ron Swanson
Ron Swanson: Is this a hunting game?
Donna: Yeah, it's fun. You want to play?
Ron Swanson: Indeed, I do. If you'd like, I could offer you some pointers. Hunting, Donna, is about silence, balance, and patience. Get ready. [gunshot effects]
Donna: You know you're supposed to hit the deer, right?
Ron Swanson: Ugh!
Donna: Get it together, Swanson.
Ron Swanson: Well, the game is absurd. This gun is lightweight, there's no sight, and we are far too close to these deer. Would they not smell us? I want my money back. How do I get my quarters?
Donna: Oh, my God! You are such a sore loser.
Ron Swanson: I am not a sore loser. It's just that I prefer to win, and when I don't, I get furious. Employee!
