Leslie Knope Quote #1508
Quote from Leslie Knope in 2017
Leslie Knope: Now that we're chatting, the National Park Service is looking to buy the Newport land. But we're a little short on funds.
Ken Hotate: How short?
Leslie Knope: $88 million. What do you say you put some of that casino money to good use?
Ken Hotate: You know, we have been considering opening a second resort.
Leslie Knope: No, it would be a donation. The government would keep the land.
Ken Hotate: So you would like the Wamapoke people to pay the federal government millions of dollars to buy land that was stolen from us by the federal government? And we don't even get to keep the land?
Leslie Knope: Well, when you put it like that, I see the irony. So are you in? No? What if I buy some of your disappointing son's bolo ties? Damn it.

Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] This land is begging to be a new national park. And it's in my own backyard. This could be my crowning achievement. I could retire. I mean, I wouldn't. I'm gonna work until I'm 100 and then cut back to four days a week. Oh, God, I'm already so bored thinking about that one day off. Maybe I'll go to law school or something.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] That park is my dream. I'm not gonna let it slip away. Who cares if Gryzzl and Ron have more money? I have the most valuable currency in America. A blind, stubborn belief that what I am doing is 100% right.
Quote from Tom
Tom: Who is Tom Haverford? He's a mentor, a lover, a hero. But who is my hero? Simple. It's me. Five years from now.
Janet: Okay, I really only need a correct spelling of your last name.
[aside to camera:]
Tom: You are looking at one of Indiana Business monthly's 35 under 35. I own Pawnee's hottest restaurant, two fast-casual eateries, and the Tommy Chopper. We serve chopped salads out of a decommissioned military helicopter. I'm a mogul now.
