Ron Swanson is getting desperate, and finally breaks down to hire an assistant.
Ron Swanson:
“More important than that, and more important than anything, in this God forsaken world, is finding me an assistant.”
Tom Haverford:
“You get an assistant now?”
Ron Swanson:
“Yeah, I’ve always been able to have one, but I’ve turned it down cause it’s a waste of money.”
(Speaking directly into the camera)
Ron Swanson:
“In the eight years I’ve been at the job, I’ve saved the taxpayers of this city more than a hundred fifty grand.”
“But now, I need the taxpayers money, to save me from the taxpayers.”
