Leslie Knope Quote #1346
Quote from Leslie Knope in Second Chunce
Leslie Knope: So they recall me after all I've done for them.
Jennifer Barkley: Ridiculous.
Leslie Knope: But Dexhart now has another sex scandal.
Jennifer Barkley: Of course he does.
Leslie Knope: And the plan is I'm gonna run for his seat. Because how do I lose to a guy like that? That's a great idea, right?
Jennifer Barkley: It's a terrible idea.
Leslie Knope: I knew it. Wait. What?
Jennifer Barkley: First of all, you could lose to a guy like that. Terrible people defeat great people all of the time. I should know. Those terrible people have paid me so much money, I have a condo in every Virgin Island. Now you might win. You're smart, Ben is smart, you might win. But why would you want to?
Leslie Knope: Because it's my dream job.
Jennifer Barkley: Then dream bigger. Look, you love this town. It's being run by monsters and morons? Get a better job! Rise above their heads. Affect change at a higher level. Don't be the kid that graduates high school, hangs out in the school parking lot. Be the woman who moves away, climbs the ladder, and then confidently comes back and has sex with her hot old English teacher just for kicks.
Leslie Knope: Is that what you did?
Jennifer Barkley: Yeah. Mr. Baker. Sex was pretty good, thanks to me. Look, Pawnee has done you a favor. You've outgrown them. You've got talent, and you've got name recognition. Which means that you have a bright, wide-open future with a thousand options. State Senate. Federal jobs. Even congress. All of these are doable for you. And you can trust me... because I don't care enough about you to lie.

My old friend Ingrid de Forest won the recall vote, and she's taking my place on Monday morning. But, you know, luckily for me, I've processed all my feelings. And I've gone through the five stages of grief: Denial, anger, Internet commenting, cat adoption, African dance, cat returning to the adoption place, watching all the episodes of Murphy Brown, and not giving a flying fart. How many stages is that? I don't know. The point is I'm fine now.
