Leslie Knope: I was hoping that maybe you could talk to me a little bit about how the department has changed since you ran it.
Michael Tansley: Well, I think you've done a wonderful job maintaining the parks.
Leslie Knope: Thank you, Michael. I appreciate that. Did you enjoy your turn at the helm?
Michael Tansley: Oh, in a way. Um, pencil-pushing wasn't really my thing, but I did love the parks themselves. That was the best part of the job.
Leslie Knope: Oh, isn't it? I totally agree. Well, thank goodness for you. [laughs]
Ron Swanson: Yes, thank goodness for Michael. Are you still on parole, by the way?
Leslie Knope: Oh, ha ha, very funny, Ron.
Michael Tansley: Y-y-yes, Ron, I am.
Leslie Knope: What?
Ron Swanson: He smoked pot in the office and in all the parks constantly.
Michael Tansley: In fairness to me, it was a different time. It was the early '90s, but also it's ridiculous that marijuana is illegal. Thomas Jefferson grew hemp. Alcohol is legal, but pot isn't? [scoffs] That makes sense to you, Ron?
Ron Swanson: I'm sorry. I can't hear hippies.
