0:00:02 > 0:00:03Giddy-up! Giddy-up!
0:00:03 > 0:00:05'Meet Leslie Knope.'
0:00:05 > 0:00:07I am the pants queen!
0:00:07 > 0:00:10'Leslie loves whipped cream, dancing with friends,
0:00:10 > 0:00:13'and working hard for the Parks Department of Pawnee, Indiana.'
0:00:13 > 0:00:15- Cut it out, Tom. - It never gets old.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17'She also loves her co-workers at City Hall,
0:00:17 > 0:00:20'Ron Swanson...
0:00:20 > 0:00:21'Tom Haverford...'
0:00:21 > 0:00:23HE SINGS JAUNTILY
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Tommy Timberlake.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25'..April Ludgate...'
0:00:25 > 0:00:29My mum's Puerto Rican. That's why I'm so lively and colourful.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31'..and Andy Dwyer.'
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Uh-oh! Nailed it.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- 'April and Andy like each other.' - Ha-ha!
0:00:36 > 0:00:39'But when Andy accidentally kissed his ex-girlfriend, Ann Perkins...'
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Ooh...
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- '..April left.' - Goodbye.- Wait. April!
0:00:42 > 0:00:43'And he hasn't seen her since.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47'In the midst of all this love, two black hats rode into town...'
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Scientists believe that the first human being
0:00:49 > 0:00:52who will live 150 years has already been born.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53I believe I am that human being.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56'..and they brought with them some disturbing news.'
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Effective tomorrow morning,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00the entire government will be shut down until further notice.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02'What will Leslie do next?
0:01:02 > 0:01:04'Will April and Andy make up and make out?
0:01:04 > 0:01:07'Find out this season on Parks and Recreation,
0:01:07 > 0:01:08'starting right now.'
0:01:09 > 0:01:10- BIRD CAWS - Huh!
0:01:10 > 0:01:11CAR HORN BEEPS
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Ron. We're back.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Bully.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22LESLIE: The bankrupt government of Pawnee has been shut down all summer,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24so it's been three months of no work, no meetings,
0:01:24 > 0:01:28no memos, no late nights, nothing. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Oh, rounding up the team, so exciting.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33I have goose bumps. Feel.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And that's why they call me Prince Charming.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Because I always find the glass slipper for my Cinderella.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41These are way too tight.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Well, the real Cinderella didn't have hippo feet.- Tom, we're back.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Jeremy! Suck it! By the way, I've been giving away free sports bras
0:01:48 > 0:01:51to the girls at Hot Dog on a Stick.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Look, we can dance all day, but it's time to step up.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Are you buying 4,000 rubber nipples from me or not?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00D, you have a visitor.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- We back?- We're back.- All right!
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Jerry.- Oh, my gosh. Look who's here! Leslie.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13The nightmare's over, Jerry. We're going back to work. You won't need this any more!
0:02:13 > 0:02:14SPLASH
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Come on!
0:02:18 > 0:02:20I called shotgun. Everybody heard me.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46Well, I am usually not one for speeches. So, goodbye.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Break's over, mofos. OK, here's the situation.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50We are operating on a shoestring budget.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Park services have been slashed.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56But we are all still here. And we have a job to do.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Make the world's biggest pizza.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01No, make this town fun for the people who live here.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Fine, but after that, the pizza is our top priority.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- No, it's not.- We're getting pizza?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11April, hey, it's me, Andy. Dwyer.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15This is, like, the 200th message I've left you, without a response.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19So, if you're trying to tell me something,
0:03:19 > 0:03:23I do not know what it is because you won't call me back.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26It is truly great to see all of you, huh?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30It's great news! OK. I have to run. Ben.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33The bad news, which...
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I get to deliver, is this.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Your only work for the time being will be existing park maintenance.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42So, that just means that we're in maintenance mode.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Yeah!- Jerry!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46OK. See, I've spent the last few months brainstorming.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49And I have some really great ideas and I put them in my idea binders.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51They're colour coded, for God's sake.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54OK. Actually, yeah. There is one thing that you will be doing.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Apparently, in Indiana, if you don't provide a basketball league,
0:03:57 > 0:03:58people get very upset.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02And, quite frankly, throw things at you and call you names.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Like Turd-Boy, I... Whatever.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05The point is I reinstated youth basketball. OK?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07It says you only have money for two teams?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Yeah. They'll develop a great rivalry.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- RON:- Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys into men,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17from men into gladiators,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20and from gladiators into Swansons.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Behold! The Swanson Pyramid of Greatness.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28I've been developing the Swanson Pyramid of Greatness for years.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32It's a perfectly calibrated recipe for maximum personal achievement.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Categories include...
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Capitalism. God's way of determining who is smart, and who is poor.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Crying. Acceptable at funerals and the Grand Canyon.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Rage. Poise. Property rights.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Fish, for sport only, not for meat.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Fish meat is practically a vegetable.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- RON:- Haircuts. There are three acceptable haircuts.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54High and tight, crew cut, buzz cut.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Are the scissors broken in your house, son?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- ANN:- So, are you happy to be back at work?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Well, our budget's been slashed to zero.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05I tried to buy fertiliser the other day for the soccer field.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- Request denied. We literally can't buy- BLEEP.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- I'm so sorry.- No. I mean, look, when we were kids,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13the Parks Department would do these big projects.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Winter Jamboree, the Harvest Festival...
0:05:16 > 0:05:18It's like they don't have faith in us any more.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19I'm not a paper pusher, Ann.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23I need to be out in the streets, planting trees and cracking skulls.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Leslie Knope. Ann Perkins.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- How are my two favourite people in this entire town?- Not good, Chris.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Lots of people complaining that their programmes have been slashed.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Yeah, I know, it's terrible. Is there anything we can do about that?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- No.- Damn! Sorry, Leslie. Ann, could I talk to you for a minute?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43So, how's it going?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Save it. OK? I know you don't have faith in me and my department,
0:05:46 > 0:05:47and that's fine.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49But don't expect me to sit here and chitchat with you.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- All right. Fair enough. - Go the other way.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55But I'm just going to that... All right, I'll...
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Look, I'm very flattered, but again,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I don't think I should go out with you.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Can I ask you why not? Because I thought we had a great time
0:06:03 > 0:06:05the night you got drunk and kissed me.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07And - you did use your tongue.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11I just don't think I'm in a place to go out with anyone right now.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15OK. Well, if you change your mind, you know where to find me, Ann Perkins.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Leslie Knope.- Yes.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Did he ask you out again?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- He did, he did. He is nothing if not persistent.- Mm.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25And hot. He's very... He's pretty hot.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Yeah, he's hot. But he's intense.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30But he's really, really hot. But he's your boss.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Oh, my God. I just thought of an idea of how we can save the Parks Department.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Great.- Let me ask you one question.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Would you be cool doing things that a prostitute does?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Er...- Minus the money?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Definitely yes, then.- Thanks, Ann.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Looking sharp. Beautiful. The backboard is your friend.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49ANDY YELLS
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Bam! Boom!
0:06:52 > 0:06:56I'd say my coaching style is centred around fundamentals,
0:06:56 > 0:06:57with an emphasis on fun.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Hey, watch this. Go get it. - Yeah!
0:07:00 > 0:07:04And a second emphasis on...mental.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Yeah, it can be hard work, but every time I look one of these kids
0:07:07 > 0:07:09in the eyes and he calls me Coach...
0:07:11 > 0:07:14..that's how I know I agreed to be a coach.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15ALL: Mouse Rat!
0:07:15 > 0:07:17ALL: Carnage!
0:07:17 > 0:07:21OK, gentlemen. It's time for the pre-game coin toss.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24There's no coin toss in basketball. Are those women's sneakers?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Yes, they are, Ron. You know what?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29They fit better, I got an employee discount, and the best part is
0:07:29 > 0:07:31no-one can tell.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33All right, let's do this.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Match point, touchdown, et cetera.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37WHISTLE BLOWS
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Yeah. Go, Lightning. All right.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43OK. I like what you're wearing, but I need it to be 300% sexier.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Do you have any of those shirts that look wet all the time?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Or, like, a metal bikini?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49You know what's always sexy? Fingerless gloves.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52What about if I wear this normal, sane outfit?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55OK, but you'll have to eat something sexy, then, like a banana.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- For dinner?- Well, what's sexy food? Asparagus?
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- No, you know what's sexy? Turkey chilli.- Mmm!- Yeah.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07And how exactly am I supposed to casually steer the conversation
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- towards the Parks Department budget? - OK, it's totally easy.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Tell you what. You be Chris. I'll be you. I'll show you how it's done.- OK.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15BOTH CLEAR THEIR THROATS
0:08:15 > 0:08:20Ann Perkins, you are wonderful and amazing and I'm happy to be here with you.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25Thank you, Chris. I'm wearing a tuxedo vest with no shirt on underneath. Uh-oh.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Can I get you a drink? I love every single beverage in the world.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33I would like some wine, and... Oops, my vest popped open.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Just like the budget needs to pop open
0:08:36 > 0:08:39and you need to pour it into my Parks Department.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Great.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45I am so excited that you finally agreed to go out with me.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47What a magnificent flip-flop.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50You're a magnificent asker-outer.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Tell me every single detail of your day.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57I love dates. I love connecting with someone, I love engaging them,
0:08:57 > 0:09:01I love being surprised by them. I have never had a bad date.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04They've all been either great or phenomenally great.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Nurses are the most undervalued members of our society by far.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I think all of you should make as much money as the CEO of Google.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Wow. Thank you. I agree.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Can I ask you a question?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Why am I so positive all the time?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Yes, that's exactly the question.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I was born with a blood disorder,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26and my parents were told that I had three weeks to live.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28And here I still am,
0:09:28 > 0:09:32some 2,000-odd weeks later, and...
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I have enjoyed every one of them.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I think it's going well. He's actually a really nice guy.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41LESLIE: 'Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43'OK. So, have you asked him yet about the money?'
0:09:43 > 0:09:46It's a date, it's kind of hard to casually bring up the Parks budget
0:09:46 > 0:09:48when you're talking about movies.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51'Jurassic Park, parks are so great, the Parks Department needs money.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53'I just did it in three moves.'
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Why don't you just do it yourself?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- OK.- Holy crap!
0:09:56 > 0:09:59What? Chris and Ann, what are you two doing here?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01We are on a date. And it is going phenomenally.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Thanks, but I'll stay for just one drink.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I'm so happy I ran into you, because I wanted to speak to you about...
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- Well, well, well! - Ben. What a fun surprise.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13That's right, you were coming here tonight on a date.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17And hey, Leslie is joining you on this wonderfully romantic occasion.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- How about that?- Fantastic!
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- It is. Can I talk to you?- Sure. - What are you doing here?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Just confirming a suspicion I had, Leslie.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- What? I had nothing to do with this date.- Uh-huh?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28They probably just want to see each other naked.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Well, I know what you're trying to do and you're not good at being sneaky.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33- Yes, I am.- No, you're not.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- I'm great at being sneaky. - Clearly, you're not.- Hey!
0:10:35 > 0:10:39You guys, let's all have dinner together. The more, the merrier.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Great.- Great.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43ANDY: Great job, guys. Yep.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45All right, Eric. Taking a rest, or are you hurt?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Taking a rest? That's smart.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Destroy them, gentlemen. Feel no sympathy.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- TOM:- Yes, Ron Swanson is dating my ex-wife, Wendy.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Big deal. My girlfriend, Lucy, is the sexiest woman in town.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04She's Cuban, she's got tattoos, and she's into me,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06which, as far as I'm concerned, is THE sexiest quality
0:11:06 > 0:11:07a woman can have.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I have an idea. You know what would be fun?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12After dinner, we should walk by the pond in Ramsett Park.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Walking in parks can be very romantic.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Too bad the park's always closed, though.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18OK. Well, you two are on a date.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20So, Leslie and I should probably get going.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Well, I'm actually having a good time with everyone.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- Chris?- Me, too. I'm having a fantastic time.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Want to take this whole "date-plus-two-other-people" thing up into the stratosphere?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34MUSIC: "TiK ToK" by Keha
0:11:38 > 0:11:40This place is outstanding!
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- Great call, Leslie Knope.- Thanks.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Look, even Ben's dancing.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50That's the way to shoot the ball, Chignoli. Hustle back.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53WHISTLE BLOWS
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- Er...that's a foul! - What? On whom?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Your team. Number 50. He was double dribbling.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- He's on defence.- Exactly.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06That's a technical difficulty. So, that means Andy's team
0:12:06 > 0:12:08throws the ball from the stripy thing. Let's go!
0:12:08 > 0:12:10"The stripy thing"?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12LOUD MUSIC PLAYS
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Hey, there. How's it going?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Great, thanks.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Can I buy you a drink?
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Oh, I'm very flattered,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28but this is my stunningly gorgeous date, Ann Perkins.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Oh, hi.- Hi.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Sorry.- Oh, no problem.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37In fact, let me buy all of you a drink for being so welcoming today.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Waiter!
0:12:38 > 0:12:43I think I may actually...like Chris.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- On the house, Leslie. - Thank you.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I'm sort of a gay hero.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Last year, I married two penguins at the zoo,
0:12:51 > 0:12:52and it turned out they were both gay.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53- Penguin wedding?- Mm-hmm.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- That's cute.- It was so cute.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59But enough about how cute it was. Why don't you think I should have the money?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Good Lord. Really?
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Look, when I was 18 and I became mayor of my hometown,
0:13:05 > 0:13:09I used every last dollar we had to open a giant winter sports complex.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Called it Ice Town.- It turned out great, everyone loved it?
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Yeah, kind of. It was never completed, and I got impeached.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17The newspaper headline was,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20"Ice Town Costs Ice Clown His Town Crown."
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Yuck.- They were big into rhymes.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Well, I don't know. I think Ice Town sounds great.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30And the point is, at least you tried something.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- WHISTLE BLOWS TOM:- Foul!
0:13:32 > 0:13:33WHISTLE BLOWS
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Foul on number three for taking a number two on number four.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37ANDY LAUGHS
0:13:37 > 0:13:38WHISTLE BLOWS
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Roughing the passer! Double dribbling, that's a foul!
0:13:41 > 0:13:43That's a foul for touching the basketball.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45What are you going to do about it? Nothing, you fouled.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46You can't do anything.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49OK. You're ejected. You're ejected.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50WHISTLE BLOWS
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Oh, what's the matter there, Ron? No players left?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Yay, Andy's team! Look at them go!
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Oh, come on. Now, you're openly cheering for the other team?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Put my boys back in. - You made me the ref. Deal with it.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Take this uniform off.- Hey, hey! - You don't deserve to wear it!
0:14:05 > 0:14:06WHISTLE BLOWS
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Ron's ejected for molesting the ref! - Oh, yeah? I'm ejected?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Tom, what are you doing? - Yes, you are.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13I'm ejecting you, too. Everyone's ejected.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- She's ejected?- Yeah!
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Argghh! - PANICKED GASPS FROM CROWD
0:14:20 > 0:14:21- TOM:- Go ahead, go!
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Well, that's a forfeit. Andy's team wins.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26No way! We won? CHEERING
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Oh, man! Eat it! Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Andy, Andy, Andy! TEAM JOIN IN WITH CHANTING
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Yeah! Yes!
0:14:35 > 0:14:37'I dedicate this victory to April Ludgate.'
0:14:37 > 0:14:41It feels good. And it feels...sticky, from the Gatorade.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46We're barely able to function. We could really use that money.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I don't know if it's because I'm in such a good mood
0:14:49 > 0:14:50or because of the charming Ann Perkins,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53but I am going to seriously consider that.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Really? That's great. Mission accomplished.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Let's boogie.- Mission accomplished? - Uh-oh.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Yeah. There's a mission, er, that Ann had thought of.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08It was both of our ideas, but it was mostly Ann's.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12We... I had mentioned to Ann that it would be fun
0:15:12 > 0:15:13if you two went on a date.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16So, then, you could talk about the money,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19and then, you know, maybe give it to me.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Wow.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27I've just had my first...bad date.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Ann Perkins.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Not that sneaky.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43April!
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- April! Where have you been? Oh, my God.- Hey. How are you?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I'm OK. I'm dying to see you. I...
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- called and I texted you, like, a billion times.- Oh, I'm sorry.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- I was in Venezuela.- Oh.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Really? Wow.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Across the pond.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Wow. I thought maybe I would have heard from you at least once,
0:16:06 > 0:16:08because of what happened.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Ann kissing me? I'm so sorry about that.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13It was so stupid and it meant nothing.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I wouldn't worry about it. It's totally fine.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Hey. This is my boyfriend, Eduardo.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21No, it's not!
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- Listo para el lonche?- Si.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25That means, "We're going to lunch."
0:16:25 > 0:16:28How do you say, "Have a great time, don't choke on anything"?
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Bye.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33KNOCKING ON DOOR
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Leslie asked me to do her a favour. And I love her, so I did it.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40I'm sorry, and I'm here to eat crow.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I like you a lot. Let's go out again.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Ann Perkins.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Budget solution number 28.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Use grazing sheep to mow grass in parks.
0:16:55 > 0:17:01Note - tired sheep could become food or sweaters.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Ah...
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Well, I got my answer.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09About April. She hates me. Yeah. And she got a boyfriend, I guess.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14From some city in Mexico. So...what do I do?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17OK. Well, when your back's against the wall
0:17:17 > 0:17:21and odds are stacked against you, you just...you...
0:17:21 > 0:17:25you swing the hardest, damn it. You go big or you go home.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27And you don't seem like the kind of guy who goes home.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I'm not. I don't even really have a home.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- Go get her, Andy! - OK. OK, thanks, Leslie!
0:17:36 > 0:17:39OK. So, we know the people who run this government have no faith in us.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42My plan is going to change that and bring the budget back.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44And the answer's been right in front of us the whole time.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- Ew, "Check your testicles"? - No, not that,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50although that is very good advice. I'm looking at you, Jerry.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53No. What's going to save us is right there.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Gentlemen, I realise that times are tough and the budget is tight.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00But if the people of this town have nothing else to do
0:18:00 > 0:18:03but sit in their houses and play video games,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05then Pawnee will die.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07And we refuse to let that happen.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Now.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12This town was historically known for two things.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14MUSIC ON TAPE: "Chariots Of Fire" by Vangelis
0:18:14 > 0:18:19Widespread obesity, and the annual Pawnee Harvest Festival.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22People from all over Indiana would come and gaze in wonderment
0:18:22 > 0:18:23at how fat our citizens were.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26And while they were here, they would also attend the festival,
0:18:26 > 0:18:30a full week of corn mazes, hay rides,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Ferris wheels, pumpkins the size of jeeps.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35We lost that festival a few years ago,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37due to another round of budget cuts.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40And I propose we bring the festival back.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43With ticket sales and corporate sponsorship, we'll earn all that money back.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- And believe me, people will come. - What if they don't?
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Well...
0:18:48 > 0:18:51..then you eliminate the Parks Department.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53And you guys are all on board with this?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- Aye. - ALL: Yes.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58LESLIE: Look, we're not just pencil-pushers.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01We are a reflection of the community,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04and we believe that we can strengthen that community.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Because in the end, the reason why we're all here
0:19:08 > 0:19:10is to bring people together.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14SNIFFLING
0:19:14 > 0:19:17That, literally,
0:19:17 > 0:19:19is the most moving thing I've ever heard.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22And a good idea.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Yeah, all right.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Excellent! Great!
0:19:27 > 0:19:30OK. So, everybody, we're going to party hard for 15 minutes,
0:19:30 > 0:19:34then we'll have our first brainstorming session.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Hello, April. Do you like the flowers?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42What are you doing?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45All due respect, Eduardo, you seem like a great guy,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48but I like April and I'm coming after her with everything I've got.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- So, do you want to go out with me? - No.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55I thought you were going to say yes, but that's OK,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58because I'll be back tomorrow to ask you again.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01And again the next day. And the next day.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Not Friday. I have to go visit my cousin.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06But I will be back after that to ask you again.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09HE SPEAKS IN SPANISH
0:20:09 > 0:20:12SHE REPLIES IN SPANISH
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Ah!
0:20:16 > 0:20:20You should do it. Follow your dream.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Oh, my God. Really? That's awesome!
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I'll see you tomorrow. Hee-hee!
