Leslie Knope: So I have a piece of good news. I've invited a reporter to come do an article about the pit behind your house. She writes for the Pawnee Journal, which is kind of like our town's Washington Post.
Ann: That sounds really good.
Leslie Knope: Thank you, Ann. It is a classic strategy. The press is a weapon and you can use it to kill people or to feed people. You know, the beginning of projects are very vulnerable, and you have to make sure that you get a lot of press, 'cause the momentum of that can kind of keep it alive, or else it'll die. I mean, I'm sure you remember the Tucker Park Graffiti Removal Project.

Leslie Knope: The Tucker Park Graffiti Removal Project was a great idea that just ran out of steam. We had removed five cartoon penises, not even 10%, when we were shut down due to lack of funding. To this day, I am haunted by those remaining penises. One penis in particular.

Tom: [singsongy] Ron Swanson.
Ron Swanson: Tom.
Tom: Ron, I don't know what to tell you, man. April got on my computer. Password was saved. She played a couple of Scrabble words. It wasn't me. I don't even know what lexicons are. I thought that was a luxury automobile. You're the word king. She was probably cheating.
Ron Swanson: I knew that couldn't have been you. You don't have the vocabulary.
Tom: I know.
Ron Swanson: You can't even spell vocabulary.
Tom: Yeah. V-O-G-X... Was that right? No.
Ron Swanson: We're cool.
[aside to camera:]
Ron Swanson: I'm not an idiot. I know Tom has been losing to me on purpose. But I like Tom. He doesn't do a lot of work around here. He shows zero initiative. He's not a team player. He's never one to go that extra mile. Tom is exactly what I'm looking for in a government employee.

Leslie Knope: This is Ron Swanson, our boss. Ron, this is the reporter I was telling you about.
Ron Swanson: No comment.
Shauna: About what?
