Leslie Knope: He is one of the best people on the planet. He's universally adored here. If you fired him, there would be a revolt.

Leslie Knope: Well, but Chris said that you just had to, you know, tinker with things.
Ben: Yeah, he said that because that sounds a lot better than "We're going to gut it with a machete." [Ron laughs] Okay?
