On talking about how the residents of Pawnee didn’t appreciate what Leslie, Pawnee city councilwoman has done and sacrifice for them.
Ron Swanson : Leslie, for God’s sake, you’re the adult here. When your kid screams ‘I HATE YOU’, you don’t sink to his level and yell ‘I HATE YOU BACK’, you have to be the grown-up.
Leslie Knope : You’re right, I know. I have to be the grown up. But it’s so hard! Ron! God! And nobody ever thanks you.
