Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: What do we do with those kids? We totally ruined their club.
Ben: I could tell you what I would like when I was their age.
Leslie Knope: Ben, how are we gonna get Kathy Ireland to do naked aerobics for them?
Ben: Okay. I regret telling you that... very much. [both laugh]
Quote from Tom
Ron Swanson: All right. I gotta come clean. I saw you spraying cologne samples at Macy's.
Tom: What? Macy's? That wasn't me. There's a Macy's in town? Where's the Macy's in town? I heard they have an amazing cologne sample guy.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: Pawnee City Council chambers. The nicest room in City Hall by a factor of like a million. Go ahead. Sit down.
Ben: Leslie and I feel terrible for war breaking out at your Model U.N.
Leslie Knope: Which, for the record, Denmark would have won, but that's neither here nor there. Thanks to a coordinated effort between the parks department and the city manager's office, three months from now, we are gonna hold a State-wide Model U.N. In this room, and you're gonna run the show. And we will just be... not here. Or taking some small countries.
Ben: No, no, no, no.
Leslie Knope: No. Fine. Not here.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: [aside to camera] Those kids are passionate about something. That's important. That's all there is, really, is passion. Passion is what makes for good treaties. Good relationships. Good pizza. Good friends. Good everything. Including wars. [pounds table] "Denmark destroys all!"
Quote from Jerry
Leslie Knope: Ladies and Gentlemen, "He was gone but never forgotten." "He makes all the ladies want..." No, I'm not gonna say that. "Swagger... beats... and I get the... Who's the..." All right, forget it. Welcome back, Tom Haverford!
Tom: Tick-tock, it's Tommy time!
Jerry: Okay, I'm sorry, I have to object again. This just seems unfair. I understand that, Jerry.
Leslie Knope: But the problem is is that Tom came back and Andy's my assistant, so I kinda need him close to me.
Jerry: Okay, but I can't even hear anything because of the noise from the copier.
April: Sorry. These are really important. [holds paper which reads "Copier Test"]
