Ben: Hello.
Leslie Knope: Wrong.
Ben: What?
Leslie Knope: No preambles. No introductions. Just walk in and start talking.
Ben: I'd like to discuss the new school bus.
Leslie Knope: I'd like to discuss your rhyming, Dr. Seuss. And you should be sitting by now.
Ben: Uh, what?
Leslie Knope: Just walk in and take a seat.
Ben: Um...
Leslie Knope: "Um" is the sound in "dumb." That's what she says to people. And now you've crossed your legs like a woman.
Ben: God! Okay, should we just start over?
Leslie Knope: No. No, we need to put a pin in this. Here is a list of my mother's top 100 favorite conversation topics, starting with Persian rugs, ending with Daniel Craig. You have ten minutes to memorize it.
Ben: Deliverance the movie?
Leslie Knope: Mm-hmm.
Ben: Oh, God.
