Leslie Knope: Well, like I said, I don't want to discuss it, Buddy, and, frankly, I don't appreciate your condescending tone. But you know what? I've had a couple drinks, so what the hell? Ben and I first...
Buddy Wood: I'm sorry, Ms. Knope, are you inebriated?
Leslie Knope: What? No. Preposterous. Are you ine- [hiccups] -ebriated? That was bad timing.
Buddy Wood: This is a Buddy Wood first-- an exclusive interview with potential city councilwoman Leslie Knope, who appears to be drunk right now on camera.
Leslie Knope: I am not drunk. Yes, when you have a jumbo Margarita and some flaming Tequila shots, you can get drunk.
Buddy Wood: Is it this sad, pathetic town that makes you drink this way?
Leslie Knope: This interview is over.
Buddy Wood: Okay, Ms. Knope.
Leslie Knope: Oh-- This-- this is not because I'm drunk. This is because of the wire.
Buddy Wood: A fitting end to a bizarre interview and a sad moment in a depressing city with no hope, in the waning moments of the bitter saga that has been a contentious campaign.
