Leslie Knope: I think she could be very useful. What's my in?
Marlene Knope: Oh, let's see. You wrote a speech?
Leslie Knope: Yes. It's 22 minutes long, with the song. I could cut the song. The song's cut.
Marlene Knope: Scrap the whole thing. Let's make the speech work for us.
Leslie Knope: Oh, politics! Yes! My mom is crazy good at this.
Marlene Knope: Okay, the two things you have going for you is your connection with me, of course, and the fact that Restrepo loves feeling important. So make sure that you butter her up.
Leslie Knope: I will. I'll make her feel like a human dinner roll.
