"If we were to work together, she would undoubtedly drive me insane, and it is possible that we would murder each other." Leslie Knope: You forgot the last sentence. Can I hear it? Leslie Knope: Why don't you read it yourself? Ron Swanson: "Leslie Knope is an absurd idealist whose political leanings are slightly to the left of Leon Trotsky." So far, so accurate.

Foreshadowing, because Tom eventually opens Tom’s Bistro, and it is indeed very classy.ġ5. There has to be a submarine-themed club somewhere on this planet, and I’d like to go sometime in the near future. Tom’s club ideas are brilliant, all worthy of real clubs in their own right.
