Ben: So it's my understanding that despite what I said in our meeting, you have somehow increased your request for more school buses.
Marlene Knope: Excuse me, but I'm having coffee with my daughter. Maybe we could do this another time.
Ben: No, we're gonna talk about this now. Or if you'd prefer, I could put a permanent freeze on the education budget. It's your call.
Marlene Knope: [scoffs]
Leslie Knope: Wow, maybe you should talk to him, mom. He seems pretty self-assured.
