Leslie Knope: By using the Leslie Knope seamless merger supersystem, patent pending, Pawnee and Eagleton and their parks departments will be fully integrated within the next 6 to 12 months.
Erica: [laughing]
Leslie Knope: [laughing] I know, I know. I think it was a good presentation too. Is that why you're laughing?
Erica: Your timeline is way off. I was in charge of the Wesham/Southborough merger of 2004. You know when it was completed? Last month.
Leslie Knope: What? How is that possible?
Erica: Merging governments requires constant hands-on management. You're being very cavalier about the future of your town.
Leslie Knope: Excuse me. I've been accused of lot of things, but cavalier has never been one of them. I have a super system.
Golm: I had a system too, but the economy went south. My hometown hit some hard times and was converted into unincorporated territory.
Leslie Knope: You lost your cityhood?
Golm: If you want to see this through, you need eight to ten years minimum, unless you want to run the risk of Pawnee becoming...
Leslie Knope: Don't say it.
Golm: Unincorporated territory.
