Leslie Knope: If I could just get a little bit more time, I could figure out how to fix this.
Councilman Pillner: Unfortunately, I cannot give you any more time. With due respect... Leslie, I am retiring at the end of this term, so I've been fine with you guys pushing me around on this budget thing. But if you're ever gonna hold this job, there's something you need to understand. City Council isn't about making everybody in town happy. In fact, every decision you make is gonna make a lot of people very unhappy. We play with live ammo around here. Now I'm gonna close the book on this budget draft by the end of the business day. So if you can find some way out of this mess by 5:00 P.M., you let me know.
Leslie Knope: Thank you.
Ben: That's fair.
