Ben: In exchange, no more puppy killer ads for the rest of the campaign. That's all we ask.
Jennifer Barkley: Okay. Well, what's to stop me from just paying for the shelter and still running the ads?
Leslie Knope: Because I told Councilman Pillner that if you don't agree to our terms, he should cut the Parks budget.
Ben: And we'll leak that it was Leslie's decision and yours seem tough and fair, what with sacrificing her old apartment.
Jennifer Barkley: Okay, what's in it for you?
Leslie Knope: A safe home for the animals, a job for my friend, and a full Parks budget.
Jennifer Barkley: I wasn't born yesterday. You've gotta have an angle. This is a home run for us! We're gonna dominate the news cycle for a whole week.
Ben: Well, you can have this week. We'll take the next one.
Jennifer Barkley: Oh, yeah? What makes you so sure?
Leslie Knope: Because in a week, we have a debate. And your guy Bobby Newport is gonna have to show up, and he's gonna have to open his mouth. And I'm gonna kick his ass. [waitress arrives with bill] She'll take care of that. See ya next week!
