Season 6, Episode 11 -  Aired January 16, 2014

When Leslie returns to her old job in the Parks Department, she struggles to recognize her employees have grown since she left them. April, Andy and Donna pull a prank on their new tightly-wound boss, Ben. Meanwhile, Chris and Ann wonder whether they should get engaged as they start their new life together.

Quote from Chris

Ann: Honey, look at this. This is what I want. I don't want a ring. I don't want a wedding. I just want this locket with a picture of our child in it. I mean, we've never been traditional. We made out the first night we ever met.
Chris: And when we did date, we broke up, but you didn't realize it, and that was very embarrassing for you.
Ann: Yeah, let's maybe not talk about that part right now.
Chris: And then we got pregnant as friends, and then we fell in love. We've never been very conventional, so why start now? Theodore? We will not be needing that ring, but we would like to purchase this locket. How much?
Ted: Just take it and get outta here.
Chris: Thank you!
Ann: Thanks.

Quote from Tom

Carter: Uh, Mr. Haverford, you have a presentation as well?
Leslie Knope: Hey. Rip it.
Tom: There's nothing more American than lemonade. Just sayin' the word makes you wanna drink some. And now you can. Check under your seats. [murmuring, giggling]
Carter: Heh, hey. Has my name on it.
Tom: Yes, it does. Classic for you, Carter. Darva, yours is a pink lemonade. I know you love that.
Darva: Because I like pink.
Tom: That's right. Now, who here likes laser shows? Summer foot traffic in Lafayette Park has increased 23%. The Indiana Brothers are the fastest-growing beverage company in the Midwest. My projections show they can increase government revenue 30% over the next five years. Plus, they've agreed to waive their franchise fee.
