Ron Swanson: Knope, make yourself useful and hand me that crescent wrench.
Leslie Knope: Oh, not bad craftsmanship, Ron.
Ron Swanson: It is perfect craftsmanship. I calculate the cost of my labor at $38. I can send the bill to you?
Leslie Knope: So you think you're gonna stick around Pawnee?
Ron Swanson: Oh, I imagine so. Not sure where I would go, really.
Leslie Knope: Well, we're gonna come back here a lot. You know what they say. Don't be a stranger.

[Washington, D.C. 2022:]
Leslie Knope: So, Ron, what brings you here?
Ron Swanson: I am at something of a personal crossroads.
Leslie Knope: Yes! I love personal crossroads.
Ron Swanson: I once made the mistake of not talking to you at such a moment, and I do not intend to repeat that error.
Leslie Knope: Well, let's take a walk. There's a cute, little park nearby.

Leslie Knope: Babe, I don't want to seem dramatic, but I've just reconsidered every decision that we've made over the last year, and I think we need to stay in Pawnee forever.
Ben: I know. [Leslie sighs] But we have to pick up the kids, and we have a flight to catch. But when is this group of people ever going to be all together again? That's all I want, all of these people in the same place at the same time.
Ben: It'll happen someday.
Leslie Knope: What's gonna happen between now and then?
Ben: A lot, and it's all gonna be great.
Leslie Knope: You promise?
Ben: I promise.

[Washington, D.C. 2025:]
Leslie Knope: Damn! That food was good. I've said it before, and I'll say it again-- Joe Biden knows his way around a seafood risotto.
Janet Snori: You've said that before?
Leslie Knope: Anyway, the point is, yes, I do like working at Interior. I love it, but I'm always looking for new challenges. Why do you ask?
Janet Snori: There's a rumor the governor of Indiana isn't going to run again, and my friends at the DNC are very interested in you as a candidate.
Leslie Knope: For governor of Indiana? Someone's been reading my kindergarten dream journal.
Janet Snori: So what do you think? I'll call you next week, and we can talk about it?
Leslie Knope: O-okay, great. Well, this is exciting. I'm gonna take this energy, and I'm gonna go crush Joe Biden in charades. Dr. Jill, let's pick teams.

[Washington, D.C. 2025:]
Leslie Knope: I had a pretty interesting conversation with Janet from the DNC tonight.
Ben: Oh, yeah?
Leslie Knope: Yeah. She said that Governor Colquitt might be stepping down, and the DNC thinks that I should run for governor.
Ben: Oh, God. That... kind of sucks.
Leslie Knope: Really? Why?
Ben: No. I mean, that's- That's amazing. It's just, Jen Barkley kind of approached me about running.
Leslie Knope: Oh! Oh. Well, I mean, obviously...
Ben: Right. Yeah, no, no.
Leslie Knope: I mean, obviously...
Ben: Yeah, I mean, obviously...

[Washington, D.C. 2025:]
Leslie Knope: Okay, pros of you running for governor: You would be a great governor, we could make Pawnee our home base, kids could go to school in Pawnee, and it would be a huge career move for you. The pros of me running for governor are the same thing. It's the same list.
Ben: Right.
Leslie Knope: The only con of you running would be that I don't get to run and vice versa.
Ben: Good. So we've solved it.

[Pawnee, 2025:]
Leslie Knope: You guys, Ann's here.
Ann: Aww.
Ben: Should we move away from here?
Chris: Yeah, yeah. This could go on for some time.

[Pawnee, 2025:]
Tom: Because my first book was such a smash, I had to come up with a new angle for the follow-up. Then it hit me... Failure 2.0: Failing to Fail.
Donna: Love it.
Tom: How's everything? You properly treating yourself out there in Seattle?
Donna: In a manner of speaking. Joe and I spend most of our time on the foundation.
Tom: [sighs] I can't believe you went nonprofit. I mean, I love you. You're one of my best friends, but you have betrayed me and everything we stand for. You've changed.
Donna: Maybe you're right. By the way, what time is it? Oh, it looks like it's half past spla-Dow!
Both: What?
Tom: I take it all back. That's a lot of diamonds. Give me, give me, give me, give me, give me!

[Pawnee, 2025:]
Andy: Well, there he is. Chip Traeger, you old son of a gun.
Chris: Andy, it's Chris.
Andy: Is it? Ha! Huh.

[Pawnee, 2025:]
Ron Swanson: Hello, Jack. Ron Swanson. Strong handshake. Well done, you two.
Andy: Thank you.
Donna: So are you gonna have another one?
April: Um... [Donna gasps] Shh.
Andy: Shh. 'Cause... 'Cause he's sleeping? How can you tell?
