Ben: Excuse me, Senators? Ben Wyatt, from Congressman Murray's campaign.
Barbara Boxer: Ben, I remember you from the Kennedy Center.
Ben: That's right.
Barbara Boxer: Yeah.
Ben: I wanted to introduce my friend Leslie Knope. Senators Barbara Boxer and Olympia Snow.
Olympia Snowe: A pleasure to meet you.
Leslie Knope: How do you do?
Barbara Boxer: So, Leslie, what do you do?
Leslie Knope: I am a city councilwoman from Pawnee, Indiana. But you've probably never heard of us. We're small and unimportant.
Olympia Snowe: I'm sure that's not true.
Leslie Knope: But it is. We've got tons of problems. We're overrun with raccoons and obese toddlers. Anyway, I'm probably boring you. I just wanted to say that you are my role models, and, uh, you are incredibly amazing women, and it is an honor to meet you, and I really respect your grace under pressure, [voice breaking] and thank you for your time.
Ben: Excuse me, Senators.
