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.

Chris: I would like to buy five DVDs of this. No, 20. No, 60! No, that's insane. 20.

Leslie Knope: I gotta say, that was pretty fun up there. We have fun when we collaborate, right? Working together? Lockbox, right?
Councilman Jamm: You know, in some weird, perverted, sexual way, I'm gonna miss you when you're gone.
Leslie Knope: Oh.
Councilman Jamm: You are my Nemesis. You're the Superman to my Lex Luthor.
Leslie Knope: You want to be Lex Luthor?
Councilman Jamm: Uh, yeah. Lex Luthor is rich.
Leslie Knope: Well, okay. I can't argue with that.

Leslie Knope: So I did Zuko for you. Now you give me the lockbox.
Chris: Leslie put a beautiful cross into the box, Jeremy. Time for you to head it in.
Councilman Jamm: All right, Knope. What can I say? You wore me down. I will give you my word, and I will put it in writing, so I can't back out. We won't touch the money for one year. And if the economy holds up, you can start construction then.
Chris: [blows whistle] Leslie, you have your lockbox. And you scored a triple dragon on your song.

Leslie Knope: No, I cannot wait a year. I want to get started now. I want construction started on Monday.
Chris: You have his word. And this is riddled with spelling errors, but it is binding.
Leslie Knope: It's not good enough! Jamm, I sang your stupid song, I ate your stupid fake Asian food, and by the way, you should know, you don't make sushi rolls out of tuna salad--
Councilman Jamm: Maybe you don't.
Leslie Knope: I did practically everything you wanted, and you won't just give this to me today? Screw you! [Chris blows his whistle and holds up a red card] You're giving a card to me?
Chris: You left me no choice.
Leslie Knope: Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Chris: Leslie, you should be happy! You beat Jamm in the final battle. Unless there's something more going on here.
Leslie Knope: Ann. This is about Ann.
Chris: Ann Perkins? I love Ann Perkins.
Leslie Knope: Pawnee Commons is why I met Ann five years ago. And I know you guys are talking about moving. But I guess I thought if maybe Ann came back from Michigan tomorrow, and I was able to look into her smoky, ethnically ambiguous eyes and tell her that we were breaking ground on a new park, she might-- she might want to stay.
Chris: Leslie, I'm sorry. Ann didn't just go to Ann Arbor to visit family. She went to sign the lease on our new home.

Councilman Jamm: Unexpected play here, Superman. Not exactly sure what you're going for, but I dig your Gambit.
Leslie Knope: There is no Gambit here, Jamm. And who sides with Lex Luthor, by the way? You probably watch Million Dollar Baby and root for the stool.
Councilman Jamm: I haven't seen it. Not a big Morgan Freeman guy. I find his voice very grating.
Leslie Knope: I am leaving now. I am not moving. I'm just going home.
Councilman Jamm: Are you guys coming back to my place? What's--what's-- or are you guys going back to-- we wrapping up the weekend? No?

Chris: You know, I went to Jamm's with you because I also want to leave the right kind of legacy, and that includes Pawnee commons.
Leslie Knope: Well, I think I burned that bridge with Jamm. We're not gonna get that lockbox. And I am not singing Beauty School Dropout. It's sexist, and I don't do slow jams.

Ron Swanson: This is the best offer I've heard yet.
Donna: Uh, you tripping right now.
Ron Swanson: Sold.
Donna: Don't even trip.
Ron Swanson: Your commission.
Donna: Thanks a lot. [to Tom] Your share, mogul.

Chris: You give Leslie her lockbox, and you get me in your hip pocket. Starting in my next term as city manager, I will give you one huge I.O.U., no questions asked.
Councilman Jamm: Hmm. Jamm likes the sound of that. Let's make it five I.O.U.s, and you got a deal.
Chris: You drive a hard bargain, but you leave me no choice. Fine. Five huge IOUs.
Councilman Jamm: Deal, guys. You must really want that park.
Leslie Knope: I do. Yes. And to tell you the truth, I'm doing it all for my best friend.
Councilman Jamm: That's all I wanted to hear. Leslie, you're my best friend too.
