Ann: You are avoiding your problems.
Leslie Knope: What? No, I'm not. Can we talk about this tomorrow?
Ann: You were down in the polls. Your opponents were well funded and well organized. You must have known this would be a possibility.
Leslie Knope: Intellectually, I knew that I might be in trouble, but deep in my heart, I never really thought...
Ann: Ben and I tried to help you, but as usual, you're the best person for the job. I wrote this. You need to hear yourself read this.
Leslie Knope: "They held the recall election, and I lost." "I was voted out of office." "In 30 days, I will no longer be a Pawnee city councilor." Oh, it's so hard to read when you're drunk.
Ann: Keep going.
Leslie Knope: [clears throat] "But I am Leslie Knope." "I am more than a city councilor." "I am an unstoppable force of energy." "And I will use those days to work as hard as I can."
Ann: These are all your ongoing projects, everything you're currently working on for Pawnee. You have things to do. You have a month left. Use it.
Leslie Knope: Ann, you poetic and noble land mermaid, you're right once again. Thank you.
