Leslie Knope: [recording] This just in. Harvest Festival? More like Harvest "Bestival." The Parks Department has planted the seeds, and now they're harvesting the rewards.
Shauna Malwae-Tweep: Great, you done?
Leslie Knope: They'll put the "fun" in funnel cake. Okay, now I'm done.
Shauna Malwae-Tweep: Tell me about Ben Wyatt.
Leslie Knope: Sure. He works for the state government, and he's been coming to advise us about our budget.
Shauna Malwae-Tweep: Oh, come on, Leslie. The Douche blew the story wide open. Ben Wyatt bankrupts a town and then comes to Pawnee to tell us how to spend our money?
Leslie Knope: There's no story here, Shauna. He's just a dedicated civil servant who's doing whatever he can to make sure that this is the best Harvest Festival ever. And he's easy on the eyes too. [chuckles]
Shauna Malwae-Tweep: Um, what exactly is the nature of your relationship with him?
Leslie Knope: Strictly professional, just friends.
Shauna Malwae-Tweep: So are you colleagues, or are you friends?
Leslie Knope: We are colleagues with benefits. We're colleagues who benefit from the fact that we're also friends. I'm sorry, Shauna. I think I need to go. But, um, thank you so much. And as always, everything I said is off the record. Okay? Bye.
