Season 6, Episode 6 -  Aired November 14, 2013

Leslie blows off Ben's '90s-themed birthday party to filibuster a bill that Councilman Jamm is pushing to restrict voting rights. Andy makes a surprise visit from London. Meanwhile, as everyone gathers at the ice rink for Ben's party, Ron plays a hunting-themed arcade game, and Tom tries to win a stuffed bear for Nadia.

Quote from Tom

Nadia: Hey, Ann, can I talk to you for a second? About Tom?
Ann: Sure. You guys look like you're having fun.
Nadia: Yeah, no, I really like him. I just wanted to say that I think you're really cool, and the fact that Tom dated you makes me think he's a really good guy.
Ann: That's so sweet. [Nadia hugs Ann] Oh, okay. Wha--what are you-- What the hell?
Nadia: Now!
Tom: Sorry, Ann, this is on you. You told us to make a memory. There's your money back. [takes bear]
Nadia: Let go! Suck it!
Ann: This is $8!

Quote from Ron Swanson

Donna: Hey! Look at that! You finally made it in the top 10. Now you can enter your initials.
Ron Swanson: My initials are private.
Donna: Then just put in any three letters.
Ron Swanson: [gunshot effects] Ass. [both laugh]

Quote from Leslie Knope

Leslie Knope: Oh, my God! That was epic! I was peeing so freakin' hard, it was like a jacuzzi jet or--
Ingrid de Forest: Hi, Leslie.
Leslie Knope: Hey! Ingrid! I wasn't talking about the velocity of my pee because you are a very smart and classy lady. Ben, you remember Ingrid de Forest from the former Eagleton.
Ben: Yes, she was just telling me she's been nominated to run against you in the recall.
Leslie Knope: Wow. Buzz kill.
Ingrid de Forest: I know you must hate me right now, Leslie, and that's justified, but I need to thank you for what you just did in there. Not the forceful urination. The filibuster.

Quote from Ben

Leslie Knope: I'm sorry your birthday party got all screwed up. Maybe I should put those roller skates back on.
Ben: Well, you must be exhausted. We don't have to go to the party.
Leslie Knope: Oh, we're not going to the party. We're going home.
Ben: Then why would you need to put on roller...skates? Oh, yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! We're just-- we're just--skates...
