Ben: Hey, man.
Andy: Roomie! Dude, it's super fun to eat cereal from a bowl with a spoon. Thank you for that.
Ben: No problem. Though, you know, you're not supposed to bring your dishes into work, right?
Andy: Ha ha. Good one.
Ben: I'm serious.

Andy: What's going on between you and Leslie? I noticed a weird vibe when we came in the room.
Ben: Nothing. I mean, we're friends-- just regular friendship... develop-- development.
Andy: Come on, roomie, you can tell me. I know there's something. I bet you I can guess what it is. She stole money from you.
Ben: What? No, no, Andy, she did not. I think we like each other. But Chris has this very strict rule: co-workers can't date. So, you know, it's not even an option.
Andy: Wow.
Ben: Yeah.
Andy: Well, first of all, Leslie, she's, like, the coolest ever. You've chosen well. And secondly, hey, man, if it's gonna happen... It's gonna happen. Look at me and April. If you're anything like us, three weeks from now, you'll be married, my friend.

Chris: How did your date with Cindy go?
Ben: Uh, you know, she wasn't really my type.
Chris: She's a tall brunette. You always like tall brunettes.
Ben: Well, not exclusively.
Chris: Historically, yes, exclusively.
Leslie Knope: He said he didn't like her, so it's over.
Chris: Okay, well, I'm gonna keep trying, because you are incredible.
Ben: Thank you.
Chris: And you deserve someone amazing and smart and beautiful.
Ben: Thank you.
Leslie Knope: A real goddess.
Chris: Exactly. Hey! ...what about Shelly, from the health-food store?
Ben: I don't know who that is.
Chris: Her brother died climbing Everest?
Ben: Great.
Chris: Interesting, right?
Ben: No.
