Hi, I’m Leslie Knope. I love Pawnee, and I want to make it even better: better schools, safer streets, and a more progressive tax on residential properties.
Well, I wanted to sneak in before you got here — an absurd pipe dream I now realize was impossible.
Character in Most Dire Need of A Hug: Ben Wyatt, Human Disaster
Tom: Here. [hands Ben a box]
Ben: You need to stop giving these away like candy.
Tom: I bought that one personally. As a thank you. It’s an Ipad.
What’s the deal, baby? One second you hit the party switch, the next second you’re all business?
LESLIE; It’s the worth, if I can be with you.
BEN; Alright. Well, then, I’m in. [leans to kiss her]
LESLIE; What are you doing?! Are you kidding me?
BEN; I am sorry. No, it’s a force of habit.
I’m just so annoyed… by all these rules lately.
Me too.
“For Ben, he has to of course follow Chris’ no office relationships rule, but on top of that I believe he’s partly scared. The minute they step out of the office, as Leslie offered, things get real and it’s no longer something that can be excused as work.” [x]
