Leslie Knope: Okay, look, I know these guys didn't turn out to be exactly how we thought they would be.
Tom: You said they might not know what toilet paper is.
Leslie Knope: I'm calling an audible. We can't be humble anymore. What we're gonna do is, we're gonna take them to our best park and we're gonna blow their socks off.
April: Yeah, I don't think that's gonna blow their socks off.
Leslie Knope: Fine, we'll go further. We'll take them to Chicago and pretend it's part of Pawnee. Or New York. Or London! No, wait, the money's different there. They'll figure it out. Okay, never mind. We'll go to the park.
