Ben: What the hell happened, man?
Wreston St. James: I had nothing to do with that stupid prank. In fact, that's why I'm late. I was firing the two people who were responsible, and I was escorting them out of the building.
Ben: Well...Good! Full disclosure: Certain people in the firm wanted to promote them, but I insisted they be fired.
Ben: If you swear to me that you're serious, maybe we can salvage this.
Wreston St. James: I would really love to. But what about Leslie? I just doubt that she can ever get over the bad blood between our towns.
Ben: I think you're wrong. Leslie is a very forgiving person.
[Leslie runs in and sprays whipped cream on Wreston's head]
Leslie Knope: Revenge! Ha ha hal This is for Pawnee, you butt-faced pompous jerk! Whoo! I love you, Ben. Pawnee forever! You want a stupid tie? I'll give you a stupid tie. Ha ha! Wreston, suck it. Now we're even.
Ben: Leslie. He didn't do it, and he fired the people who did.
[Leslie drops her cans of whipped cream and runs away]
