Quote from Tom
Tom: [answers phone] Tom Haverford.
April: Tom, it's April. I'm at Ann's house and the possum's loose, okay? I need your help. Oh, my god, it's chewing on everything! Don't tell Leslie!
Tom: You got it. [hangs up] Possum got loose at Ann's house.
Quote from April
Leslie Knope: Oh, my God, how did this happen?
April: I let it out of its cage because it needed water and I thought it would just drink out of the toilet or something, but then it ran off and I couldn't get it back in. [looks at ring stain on table] He did that too.
Leslie Knope: Oh...Oh boy.
April: Yeah, and then I opened all the doors 'cause I thought it would just go outside, but it won't leave the house. It must love tacky pictures of flowers.
Quote from Leslie Knope
Leslie Knope: I know there's a door there, but I kind of feel like It's gonna chew through the door and come and jump on my face and bite me.
April: Eww, I know.
Leslie Knope: What if it's in here?
April: What if it laid eggs in the bed? [both scream]
Leslie Knope: Okay, there are no eggs.
Quote from Andy
Andy: So I feel like you were mad at me yesterday, and I don't know why. So I made a list of everything I did and I'm gonna try not to do any of them again. Also, I got you this coffee. And then there's this. Fourth paragraph down. "But Dwyer had some help catching the possum. 'I wouldn't have been able to do it without an early morning caffeine boost from the amazing April Ludgate. She gave me the liquid courage I needed to wrestle that beast to the ground.'"
Quote from Leslie Knope
Ann: Thank you so much.
April: Sure.
Ann: It made me feel so happy that I knew somebody was here taking care of my house.
April: Cool.
Ann: So did the neighbors give you any problems?
April: No.
Ann: Anything in-
Leslie Knope: Possum. There was a possum. We captured a possum and we brought it into your house and it got out and it might have laid eggs in your bed.
Ann: What?
Leslie Knope: And it went into your laundry and your kitchen and it touched all your bras, and I'm so sorry. It's our fault, we captured it, and it got out and it ran around and it was a possum. Okay, April, run! Run, April! Sorry, Ann! I love you!
April: I'm gonna go.
Ann: I think that would be best.
