Leslie Knope: Okay, let's get started. I proposed this bill, but the issue has become very complicated, so before I decide how I am going to vote, I'd love to hear from both sides. Who'd like to start? Yes.
Roger: Yeah, I work at Colonel Plump's, and word around the Slop Trough is, they're talking about laying people off. So, maybe you could get off your high horse and help me keep my job.
All: Yeah!
Leslie Knope: Well, sir, I may vote against the tax, because, frankly, I don't take job losses lightly.
Dee Dee: No. I want the tax. My husband started drinking those giant sodas, and he's gained 100 pounds in three months. Consequently, we haven't had sex in ten years.
Ann: I-I thought you said he gained weight in the last three months.
Dee Dee: Well, we have lots of other problems.
Leslie Knope: Well, ma'am, my original stance was that implementing this tax would be good for public health.
Grover: All taxation is theft! If the government can tax me, I-I can--I can do this.
Leslie Knope: Grover, give that woman her purse back.
Grover: There's a lot of pill bottles in here.
Leslie Knope: Okay.
