Leslie Knope: Jessica, Mr. Nelson. You are going to hear a lot of bids today. But this is the only one that matters.
Jessica Wicks: Is this a circle? Or, is it an "O"? [gasps] Is Oprah involved in your bid?
Leslie Knope: It's a zero. I bid zero dollars.
Trevor Nelsson: I have to say, that's one of the lower one's we've seen.
Leslie Knope: Pawnee is celebrating its 200th anniversary, and the Newport family has been here since day one. Through feast and famine, transformation, upheaval, celebration. The Newport family is part of the fabric of this town, and not always in a good way. Like when your hot fudge pipeline exploded.
Jessica Wicks: Oh, boo hoo. It all ran off into the lake.
Leslie Knope: Well, yes. Admittedly, it did make the fish taste delicious, but it was a P.R. nightmare. My question is this. What do you want the Newport name to mean in the future? If you donate this land and you let me turn it into a national park - the Newport National Park - your name will stand for something good. For generations to come.
Jessica Wicks: How much was her bid again?
Trevor Nelsson: It was, uh...zero dollars.
Jessica Wicks: Oh. That's the part I don't like.
Leslie Knope: Just keep me in the running. Give me a chance to prove to you how great this could be.
