Mark: Would you break the rules?
Leslie Knope: I won't murder.
Mark: That's good to know. But it's actually very simple. If you wanna fill in the pit, just go fill it in. Don't ask for permission, ask for forgiveness.
Leslie Knope: Oh, I like that. Okay, wow. So who gives me the go-ahead to not ask for permission but ask for forgiveness? Is it Ron?
Mark: No, no, no. No. It's nobody. It's nobody, it's you. You have to be bold.
Leslie Knope: Okay.
Mark: Okay, look. You wanna get the pit filled in? Go rent a bulldozer and fill in the freaking pit.
