"Well, one of the funner things that we do here in Pawnee"
Parks and Recreation
"is the annual Easter egg hunt."
Parks and Recreation
"Tom hides the eggs, and I have to say he did an exceptional job this year."
Parks and Recreation
"I've been searching for 25 minutes and I haven't found a single egg."
Parks and Recreation
"And I'm an adult."
Parks and Recreation
"Oh. Yeah, I forgot to do that."
Parks and Recreation
"Maybe Tom's trying to make this year a challenge."
Parks and Recreation
"And if so, he's succeeding."
Parks and Recreation
"I don't think a single egg has been found yet."
Parks and Recreation
"Let's keep looking. We're gonna find one."
Parks and Recreation
"I'm going to see my mom."
Parks and Recreation
"She's a big mucky-muck in the county school system."
Parks and Recreation
"She's my hero. How do I explain her?"
Parks and Recreation
"She's as respected as Mother Teresa."
Parks and Recreation
"She's as powerful as Stalin,"
Parks and Recreation
"and she's as beautiful as Margaret Thatcher."
Parks and Recreation
"In or out, Leslie. Doorway is creepy."
Parks and Recreation
"Right, sorry. Choosing in."
Parks and Recreation
"So, what do you want, Leslie?"
Parks and Recreation
"Just here to gossip, gab, chat, stuff we do."
Parks and Recreation
"But it looks like you're super busy, and I am super busy,"
Parks and Recreation
"so I shall bid you adieu."
Parks and Recreation
"Oh. That's weird. I just remembered something."
Parks and Recreation
"I have my own subcommittee now."
Parks and Recreation
"Yeah. I'm sure you've heard something about it. People are talking about it."
Parks and Recreation
"- No. - Oh. Well."
Parks and Recreation
"Anyway, we're having a town hall meeting tomorrow at 7:00 p.m."
Parks and Recreation
"- At the Smithfield Community Center. - Mmm."
Parks and Recreation
"Yeah, I'm leading it. It's no biggie."
Parks and Recreation
"I mean, it is. It's a big deal."
Parks and Recreation
"I mean, I don't know. You know..."
Parks and Recreation
"You want to come?"
Parks and Recreation
"Oh. Honey, jeez. You know how busy I am."
Parks and Recreation
"I know. I know. I know! That's why I fake invited you."
Parks and Recreation
"I'll try to be there."
Parks and Recreation
"Okay. So, everybody's here. Let's get started."

"- Tom, have you booked the hall yet? - Yes, sir."
Parks and Recreation
"Ann, did you clear your schedule?"
Parks and Recreation
"I did. I changed my shift."
Parks and Recreation
"Leslie, I just have to say I..."
Parks and Recreation
"I think you might be taking this to the public a little bit too soon."
Parks and Recreation
"It literally doesn't matter what you propose to the public."
Parks and Recreation
"They might call for a vote, and if they vote you down, then you're done."
Parks and Recreation
"I don't care if there's gonna be a vote."
Parks and Recreation
"I have a secret weapon, canvassing."
Parks and Recreation
"Nothing better than good old-fashioned door-to-door campaigning."
Parks and Recreation
"I'm not above using my expertise"
Parks and Recreation
"to change hearts and minds if the cause is just."
Parks and Recreation
"When I was in sixth grade, I was voted Best Dressed by 87 votes."
Parks and Recreation
"And there were only 63 people in my class."
Parks and Recreation
"Andy fell into that pit. I fell into that pit."
Parks and Recreation
"How many more Pawnee citizens are gonna have to fall into that pit"
Parks and Recreation
"before we turn it into a park? Zero. Say it."
Parks and Recreation
"- Zero. - Zero."
Parks and Recreation
"- A hundred. - Zero."
Parks and Recreation
"I've got some sunscreen for your beaks."
Parks and Recreation
"Tom, you probably won't need any."
Parks and Recreation
"Uh... And this is our canvassing guide."
Parks and Recreation
"This is gonna be the script that we use when we speak with people."
Parks and Recreation
""If a person is a man, turn to page two.""
Parks and Recreation
""If the person looks like a celebrity, example, Jack Nicholson,"
Parks and Recreation
""use this to help your pitch."
Parks and Recreation
""Example, 'You can't handle the pit."
Parks and Recreation
""'That's why we need to turn it into a park.'""
Parks and Recreation
"Oh. This is really thorough."
Parks and Recreation
"Ann and I are a team. You guys are a team."

"Okay. Ooh, someone's in there."
Parks and Recreation
"This is gonna be fun. Are you excited? - Excited, yeah."

"- Are you pumped up? - Yes!"
Parks and Recreation
"Look humble. But confident."
Parks and Recreation
"Good afternoon. We are representatives from your local government."
Parks and Recreation
"May we speak with you for a moment about the Sullivan Street pit?"
Parks and Recreation
"Sure."
Parks and Recreation
"Excellent! Positive response."
Parks and Recreation
"How would you feel if we turned that pit into a beautiful community park?"
Parks and Recreation
"Oh. Yeah. That'd be a great idea."
Parks and Recreation
"Oh. Good. I actually live in the neighborhood"
Parks and Recreation
"So I could probably tell you a little bit about..."
Parks and Recreation
"- That's... Go to section three. - Okay."
Parks and Recreation
"Um... We are having a public forum tomorrow night."
Parks and Recreation
"And it would be great if you could come, voice your strong support."
Parks and Recreation
"Tomorrow? I can't. I'm busy. Sorry."
Parks and Recreation
"Oh. Yes, we understand that people are busy,"
Parks and Recreation
"but we would love for you to come to the meeting and to..."
Parks and Recreation
"Sorry. Good luck, though. I'm all for a park."
Parks and Recreation
"Would it change your mind if we told you that..."
Parks and Recreation
"She's gone."
Parks and Recreation
"Yeah, a park, huh? That sounds like a really good idea."
Parks and Recreation
"Great. Would you be willing to come to a town meeting and show your support?"
Parks and Recreation
"Absolutely. Now, is this park gonna have a playground or,"
Parks and Recreation
"you know, maybe a pool for the kids?"
Parks and Recreation
"Oh, how old are your kids?"
Parks and Recreation
"No kids."
Parks and Recreation
"Uh-oh."
Parks and Recreation
"- I'm gonna put him down as a yes. - Don't do that."
Parks and Recreation
"Also, is the park gonna be at least 1,000 feet from my house?"
Parks and Recreation
"Because, you know, I really can't move again."
Parks and Recreation
"April, please stand behind me."
Parks and Recreation
"That's it. That's all. That's all we've got."

"Wow, man. This is great. This is so great. I love canvassing."
Parks and Recreation
"What a great way to spend my time."
Parks and Recreation
"All right, Team Haverford. You guys are awesome,"
Parks and Recreation
"but I think I might work better as a solo artist."
Parks and Recreation
"So, I'm gonna head out. Peace."
Parks and Recreation
"- He runs weird. - He really does."
Parks and Recreation
"It's a good idea. But I'm just not sure."
Parks and Recreation
"Okay. Which part are you not sure about?"
Parks and Recreation
"Turning the pit into a park."
Parks and Recreation
"That's kind of the whole thing."
Parks and Recreation
"Well, look, I think this is a great idea, but I can't make any forum."
Parks and Recreation
"I would have to get a babysitter."
