Quote from Leslie Knope in Bowling for Votes
Ben: Okay, one more time. Let me resign. It's the only thing that truly protects you. Leslie Knope: Non-starter. Ben: [sighs] Okay. Now when you take questions, I think you should be brief and sincere. Don't try to justify what I did. Just apologize again, and stay on script. Are you sure that you don't need more whipped cream? Leslie Knope: Not today. I don't deserve it. I got us into this mess because I was fixating on that guy. But this is ridiculous. I do need more whipped cream. Ma'am.
