‘Flu Season 2’
Season 6, Episode 19 - Aired April 10, 2014
When the flu hits Pawnee again, Leslie and Andy must work through their sickness to find another headliner for the unity concert. Tom and his colleagues attend a wine-tasting event as he searches for a sommelier. Meanwhile, Ben is worked up about his parents selling their lake house and, on a long walk home, runs into Ron Dunne (guest star Sam Elliott).
Quote from Tom
Ron Swanson: There will be alcohol there, so I will go as well.
Ben: Well, maybe I'll tag along. I don't have any more work to do. Maybe it'll be relaxing.
Tom: I didn't invite any of you. I started with two cool people; I ended up with a bunch of grandpas. Listen, grandpas, when we get to the vineyard, there's gonna be a lot of fancy people there. Please, I beg you, don't embarrass me.
Ben: How would we embarrass you?
Tom: You're already doing it. I begged you.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: Land Ho. God, I love them. Everybody does. But there's no way they're getting back together. Their lead singer split ten years ago. He titled their last album We'll Never Reunite.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Jerry: Leslie...
Leslie Knope: No! Back in your tent, sicky! [bottle spritzing]
Jerry: I'm sorry, but Chipp McCapp's manager called. He has to drop out.
Quote from April
April: Aw, man. It costs $200 to get certified. I wanted to make fun of stupid people while I get drunk, my two true passions.
Quote from April
April: April Ludgate, professional drinker.
Janica: Where did you study, Ms. Ludgate?
April: The Wine... Academy.
Janica: The Wine Academy? In Bordeaux?
April: Yes.
Janica: Carol, make sure she's in group "A."
Quote from Craig
Craig: Oh, excuse me. I want in too. I know I don't look the part, but I know everything about wine, and I will prove it. My name is Craig Middlebrooks, and this is my debit rewards card.
Quote from Craig
Craig: Pumpkin, undertones of lavender. Medium-plus body. It's mostly pumpkin. There's so much pumpkin, it's like a Charlie Brown Halloween special.
Quote from Craig
Craig: It's new world, Northern California, Napa Valley, someplace beautiful and warm and amazing where everyone is in great shape and the night sky is full of stars!
Quote from Ben
Ben: [answers phone] Hey, honey.
Leslie Knope: Hey. It's your me. It's wife.
Ben: It's Leslie, uh, Knope.
Leslie Knope: I have very big news for you.
Ben: Oh, well, my teeth are blue. Blueberries are alcohol...
Leslie Knope: What? Are you having a stroke?
Ben: And I was just saying to Ron that my dog's Jewish. [drops phone] Oh. Phone water.
