Leslie Knope : Trish, Alexis de Tocqueville called America the great experiment. What can we do as citizens to improve on that experiment?
Trish Ianetta : Uh, well, uh, I think America is the land of the free, which is a wonderful thing, and also the brave, where people can live. And nobody can ever take that away from you. And it never gives up. But the high birthing rate of immigrants frightens me! No offense to anyone out there, but if it were up to me and my family, I would actually call it our America, and not their America! Thank you.
[the audience applauds]
Leslie Knope : Don't applaud that. She didn't - she didn't answer my question.
