Quotes

Leslie Knope : I can't kill the possum 'cause it might be innocent. I can't let the possum go because it might be guilty. Can't make a good soup; can't do a handstand in a pool; can't spell the word lieutenant. There are a lot of can'ts in my life right now.

Andy Dwyer : How could I forget!

Andy Dwyer : You wrote the article when I fell in the pit, and then afterwards had sex with Mark, and everyone talked about it.

[Glances guiltily at a coffee mug ring on the table]
April Ludgate : He did that, too.
Leslie Knope : Oh, boy...
April Ludgate : Yeah, and then I opened all the doors because I thought it would just go outside, but it won't leave the house! It must love tacky pictures of flowers.

Evelyn Roushland : Well, Miss Knope, I have to say I'm very disappointed.
