Leslie Knope: Okay, Clarence, um, why don't you describe the first summer Pawnee catalog?
Clarence Carrington: Oh, I remember. That first year, we offered four classes. I actually taught homemaking. Women were not allowed to teach back then.
Leslie Knope: Really? I thought there were female teachers way before then.
Clarence Carrington: Not my department.
Leslie Knope: Well, times have changed. I'm-- I'm deputy director now, but I'm hoping someday to be the first female director of the department.
Clarence Carrington: Oh, I don't think that's a good idea. Women, uh, need a lot of blood to- to flow through to- to their baby centerss, which leaves less to the brain, you see.
Leslie Knope: Yep. Mm-hmm. Sure.
Clarence Carrington: I'd stay away from leadership roles, uh, for your own safety. [pats Leslie's head]
