Leslie Knope: Well, thank God you haven't torn down the gazebo yet.
Jessica Wicks: Ugh. Don't remind me. The demolition people couldn't get here until this afternoon. I've had to look at that ugly thing all day long.
Leslie Knope: Ugly thing? Let me tell you a little something about this ugly thing, ma'am. 150 years ago, an interracial couple was married here and then slaughtered by their own families. It's one of the most beautiful stories in Pawnee's history. Why are you trying to destroy it?
Jessica Wicks: Don't tell me about Pawnee history. The Newports made this town. And tonight, we're going to celebrate his 85th birthday without this mushy, old, pile of rot.
Leslie Knope: Your husband's a mushy, old, pile of rot.
Jessica Wicks: You were a stick in the mud when we judged that beauty pageant and you're being a stick in the mud now!
Leslie Knope: I am not a stick in the mud! I-I just want to stop a party from happening.
