Jennifer Barkley: So what's Ben's next move for you?
Leslie Knope: Oh, oh, I'm not going to tell you that.
Jennifer Barkley: Oh, let me guess. Um, you're going to attack me. You're going to go on that perm show again, so you could tell everyone that that ramp idea was yours.
Leslie Knope: It's "Perd," first of all, and no. Maybe. No.
Jennifer Barkley: That's not a terrible idea. No, actually, it is kind of terrible because if you go on the air and tell everybody that I stole your idea...
Leslie Knope: Which you did.
Jennifer Barkley: Which I did, everyone's going to think you're a sore loser, a goody-goody nerd. Because you know what people don't care about? They don't care about whose idea was first. They care about whose idea was best.
Leslie Knope: Well, let's say that that was our plan, which it isn't.
Jennifer Barkley: Mm-hmm, okay.
Leslie Knope: What would you do instead?
Jennifer Barkley: Oh, Leslie. I really shouldn't give you campaign advice.
Leslie Knope: Right.
Jennifer Barkley: Ah, what the hell.

Jennifer Barkley: If you love chess, which I do, but you don't have anybody to play against, which I don't, then sometimes, you just gotta play yourself.
