We didn’t volunteer to help you because we wanted to wrap ourselves in personal glory. We did it because we…care about you. You had a dream and we wanted to support your dream. That’s what you do when you care about someone - you support ‘em win, lose, or draw.

When I close my eyes, I can see the flash of the cameras at my swearing in. And I can hear the sound of the applause as I take my oath. And I can see, in the crowd, President Obama smiling at me. I didn’t think he would come, but he made it. “Hey, buddy!”

I’m very angry. I’m angry that Bobby Newport would hold this town hostage and threaten to leave if you don’t give him what he wants. It’s despicable. Corporations are not allowed to dictate what a city needs. That power belongs to the people. Bobby Newport and his daddy would like you to think it belongs to them. I love this town and when you love something, you don’t threaten it. You don’t punish it. You fight for it. You take care of it. You put it first. As your city councillor, I will make sure that no one takes advantage of Pawnee. If I seem too passionate, it’s because I care. If I come on strong, it’s because I feel strongly. And if I push too hard, it’s because things aren’t moving fast enough. This is my home. You are my family. And I promise you I’m not going anywhere.
Parks and Recreation, 4.20 “The Debate”
If you’re ever going to hold this job, there’s something you need to understand. City Council isn’t about making everybody in town happy. In fact, every decision you make is going to make a lot of people very unhappy. We play with live ammo around here.

Oh get this one! There’s another soft one!
We need to remember what’s important in life: friends, waffles, and work. Or waffles, friends, work. Doesn’t matter, but work is third.
“The show has so much heart, it really does. It’s not sentimental, but it’s very sweet — which I think makes it all the more hilarious when you’re emotionally invested in these crazy characters. You root for them in different ways.” | Adam Scott on Parks and Recreation
