Quote from Ben in Ben's Parents
Julia Wyatt: There's my boy!
Ben: Hey, Mom. Nice to see you. This is Leslie Knope, my fiancee.
Leslie Knope: Hi. It's--it's really nice to finally meet you, Ms. Wyatt.
Julia Wyatt: Oh! Please call me Julia. Is your father here yet?
Ben: No fighting tonight, Mom.
Julia Wyatt: Don't worry! I'm going to be civil, as long as he is. Frankly, after what he did at Geoffrey's graduation--
Leslie Knope: Oh, I have some white wine for you, some Chardonnay.
Julia Wyatt: Oh, thank you.
Leslie Knope: You're welcome. Right this way.
[Ben laughs nervously as Leslie leads his mother away]

Quote from Ron Swanson
Tom: Ron in 60 seconds.
Ron Swanson: Tom. I haven't seen you tonight.
Tom: I've been working on my presentation. I just came by to congratulate Leslie, and then I'm heading back.
Ron Swanson: I admire the work ethic.
[aside to camera:]
Ron Swanson: I'm always looking for new investments. Ever since I got my first job at the age of nine, I have put all my money into gold, which is currently at an all-time high. So I have a certain amount of money. I've said too much.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Ben: This is amazing.
Leslie Knope: I know. I worked really hard on it. And, out of respect, I did not include any images of the only other man in the world who's as sexy as you, Joe Biden.
Ben: Yes, you did, right there.
Leslie Knope: Hmm? Oh, well, that's just a little one.
Quote from Ben
Leslie Knope: Okay, we are off to a rocky start, but we are gonna fix this.
Ben: Yes, we will. I called a cab. It's outside. I gave the driver 100 bucks to sit and wait, so whenever we're ready to go - like, maybe right now - all we have to do is walk outside.
Leslie Knope: No, I want to be here now, with you and your parents. Help me make this work.
Ben: Okay, fine. Best thing to do is distract them with innocuous talk about the stuff they care about.
Leslie Knope: Great, like what?
Ben: Well, they're white people from Minnesota, so hockey, fishing, skiing, sailing, and after a few drinks, put on a Prince album. Don't mention the Green Bay Packers or the state of Iowa. And also, I have enough frequent flyer miles to get us to Australia tonight.
