Ben: You talked to Barkley without me?
Leslie Knope: I wanted to tell her what a jerk she was. And then she guessed your plan immediately and demolished it.
Ben: Okay, as a rule, you shouldn't take advice from your opponent's campaign manager.
Leslie Knope: But what if she's right?
Ben: Well, what if it's a trick? I mean, maybe she thinks our original plan would work, and she convinced you to use her plan instead because she knows that won't work.
Leslie Knope: Or maybe she thinks that we think that she thinks that, so we won't do it. But she knows that I know that she knows that-- She's in our heads.
