Councilman Jamm Quote #38
Quote from Councilman Jamm in The Cones of Dunshire
Councilman Jamm: All right. Listen, let us celebrate this progress by sharing these authentic edamame, or Tokyo beans. Now I want you to be very careful about eating these. You eat the shells, and you throw the seeds out.
Leslie Knope: Wow. You have really immersed yourself in Asian culture. Now I think maybe we should revisit the holding bond idea.
Councilman Jamm: Ugh, Lezzie. Come on, I'm getting bored. I mean, we've been at this for hours. Can we please take a break?
Chris: Perhaps he has a point. And we've made some progress. Maybe we go home and take the rest of it up on Monday.
Leslie Knope: No, I cannot wait until Monday. I need to close this deal now. So I have an idea. Let's have a change of venue and keep negotiating while we have fun. If I remember correctly, you enjoy the ancient art of karaoke, yes?
Councilman Jamm: I do. And kudos on that pronunciation.
Leslie Knope: I remembered your favorite duet. Maybe it's time to take this party to Rydell High.
Councilman Jamm: Whoa!
Leslie Knope: I cannot wait to hear your Travolta.
Councilman Jamm: Oh, no, no, no. I'm Sandra Dee. That's more of my register. You're Zuko.

Quote from Tom
Tom: [aside to camera] The question I always ask myself is, what kind of mogul should I be? Fashion mogul, energy drink mogul. I even thought about downhill skiing. A mogul mogul. But a real estate mogul? Hmm. That's a hot mogul right now.
Quote from Ron Swanson
Tom: Video-Ron-demand. What you carrying, my dude?
Ron Swanson: The time has come to sell my cabin. But I haven't had much luck finding a buyer.
April: "For sale. Small house. Location: Forest." It's a little wordy, don't you think?
Donna: "Current owner will not clean up shotgun shells or animal carcasses." The hell is wrong with you, Swanson?
Ron Swanson: Fine, I'll clean up the shotgun shells, but the carcasses remain to fertilize my berry patch.
Quote from Ben
Ben: Presenting "The Cones of Dunshire," a brand-new gaming experience. 8 to 12 players. Two wizards, a Maverick, the arbiter, two warriors, a corporal, and a ledgerman. Now, the ledgerman just keeps score, and he wears this hat.
Leslie Knope: Oh, boy.
Ben: Now, the object is to accumulate cones. Four cones wins, but in order to get a cone, you have to build a civilization. The other amazing thing is the challenge play. Actually, let me tell you more about the trivia cards, 'cause you're gonna need to know about roadblocks first. Nah, never mind. The thing about the challenge play is that it's basically the game...in reverse. Then you roll three dice to see how many dice you roll with. Oh, 16. Perfect, lots of choices. Okay, each turn goes: Roll, buy, action. I mean, obviously, this would be much taller in the real game. But the corporal can veto. This should be green too. How did this happen? Are the cones a metaphor? Well, yes and no.
Leslie Knope: What is this called again?
Ben: "The Cones of Dunshire." Oh, my God, the Maverick should be able to trade lumber for agriculture credits. How have I not thought of this before? This is nothing, right?
Leslie Knope: When do you go back to work again?
Ben: Tomorrow. It's fine. I'll just throw this in the garbage.
