Here’s a list of what TV Fanatic believes were the best lines from season one. Do you agree?
The first five are pasted here. Read more after the jump!
Leslie Knope: When I go through these doors, I need to be “on” like the White House Press Secretary. Are you ready?
Tom Haverford: Yes.
Leslie Knope: OK! Here we go! (pulls on the door, looks into the camera) It’s locked.Leslie: I don’t want to be overdramatic, but today felt like a hundred years in hell and the absolute worst day of my life.
Jim: I love Great lakes wine.
Tom: You can have the wine. I’m wanna take that cheese and do terrible things to it.Ron: I enjoy government functions like I enjoy getting kicked in the nuggets with a steel toed boot. But this hotel always served bacon wrapped shrimp. I’d go to a banquet in honor of those Somali pirates if they served bacon wrapped shrimp.
Tom: Yes, I’m married. But my wife understands that a good politician has to be appealing to the ladies. The fact that I haven’t even gotten close to cheating on her is a disappointment to both of us.
Ron: I like your hairdo, Leslie.
Leslie: Thank you, Ron.
Ron: It’s just like my brother’s. He’s an officer in the Air Force.Leslie: These people are members of the community that care about where they live. So what hear when I’m being yelled at is people caring … loudly at me.
Leslie: (showing a mural of a Native American chief)This is called “The Trial of Chief Wamapo.” It was painted in 1936 and this is Chief Wamapo. He was convicted of crimes against the soldiers. I’m always amazed at his … quiet dignity right before he’s killed by a cannonball.
Tom: [on Mark] That dude has stuck it in some crazeee chicks.
Leslie: When I was in sixth grade, I was voted best dressed by 87 votes. And there were only 63 people in my class.
