Leslie Knope: Our photo-op with the mayor is tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. So, I'm gonna need your suggestions about my wardrobe ASAP.
Tom: I told you, gold sequin sweatpants.
Leslie Knope: Also, remember, everyone, Venezuela is a poor country. These men are not used to the wealth and flash that we have here in central Indiana. Our only job over the next two days is to make these men feel at home.

Leslie Knope: Yes, I am a little nervous. Pawnee has kind of a tricky history with welcoming foreign visitors. [camera shows mural of a bear in a cage, next to an Eastern European man in a cage] But things have changed. Our guests are gonna stay in a motel, for sure.

Leslie Knope: A key aspect to diplomacy is gift-giving. The gift has to be nice enough to honor and respect the guest, but not so nice that it shames him. Plus, it needs to represent the local culture. And I found the perfect thing.
[back:]
Leslie Knope: A bottle of high-fructose corn syrup, made right here in Pawnee's own Sweetums factory. Sweetums! If you can't beat 'em, Sweetums! Since 1891. And eight and a half dozen rubber baby bottle nipples, also made here in Pawnee. Kernston's Rubber Nipples, tastes like the real thing.
