Quote from Ron Swanson in One Last Ride (Part 2)
[Washington, D.C. 2022:]
Ron Swanson: I suppose I had simply accomplished everything I wanted to, and there seemed to be little point in continuing.
Leslie Knope: So what do you want to do now?
Ron Swanson: Well, that's the problem. I'm not sure. My kids are growing up. My days in an office feel like a waste. I would like to turn my attention to something... that would make me feel useful, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out what. And there are not many people- I mean, we were workplace proximity acquaintances for many years, and so I thought... I thought maybe...
Leslie Knope: Say no more, you big softie. I'm gonna spend every waking moment trying to figure this out for you. You want to stay for dinner? We're having steak.
Ron Swanson: Mm?
Leslie Knope: But we're also hosting several members of the House Subcommittee on Foreign Affairs.
Ron Swanson: I'll take that steak to go, please and thank you.

[Pawnee National Park, 2022:]
Leslie Knope: Let's go meet your staff. Pawnee National Park rangers, this is Ron Swanson, your new superintendent and boss.
Ron Swanson: Rangers, my name is Ronald Ulysses Swanson. Your job and mine is to walk this land and make sure no one harms it. If you show up on time, speak honestly, and treat everyone with fairness, we will get along just fine. Though hopefully not too fine, as I'm not looking for any new friends. End of speech.
Leslie Knope: Well said.
Ron Swanson: Thank you, Leslie.
Leslie Knope: You're welcome, Ron.
Ron Swanson: Okay. Time to go to work.
