I am very proud of what we've accomplished.
In fact, this forum
is kind of my victory lap.
This past year has been a disaster
and this government is hell-bent
on stripping away our most basic personnal freedoms.
You somehow convinced the school board that napkins are a vegetable.
Yes, there were some bumps and bruises.
And a brief rash of arson.
And a rather large-scale brawl at the dump.
But overall, the state of the merger is very strong.
Scoff.
Did you just say the word "scoff"?
You know how much I love Pawnee.
But the more I try to fix it,
the more people fight me.
It's okay, April. It's fine. You know, it's a challenge.
It's just like a big, fun
stinking turd nugget.
It sucks. You're right, everything sucks.
Everything I try with this merger backfires.
I wonder what other excellent surprises
lies in store for Leslie Knope.
It's such a great day for--
Bees! Bees!
Nobody panic!
I spent the last few weeks reading about you
and your career and I think that you're the perfect person to run it, Leslie.
Would you like to run a branch of the National Park Service?
It's an amazing offer and I'm very interesting
but if I'm going to leave Pawnee,
I need to know it's gonna be okay without me.
And I won't know
until I finish what I've started.
This poll is a chance to give our newly merged city
a new identity.
To really "rebrand" this town.
Home of the Stick up Leslie Knope's butt!
Butt Stick! Butt Stick!
Let's vote on it right now!
All those in favor.
Approved!
I've been thinking a lot about your offer.
And I have to say I can't think of
one single reason not to take it.
That's great!
I'll start drawing up the paperwork
I'm sorry.
I meant
because I can think of a lot of reasons
not to take it.
What is wrong with you, woman?
I don't need to explain myself to you.
I am the Czar. I can do as I please.
Those who cross the Czar feel the wrath of the Czar!
All I want is the promise of democracy.
Those are my votes.
I've earned them. I want them. Give me those votes!
They held the recall election and I lost.
I was voted out of office.
I'm gonna go fall asleep on the bench.
We may have peaked, but it doesn't matter.
We need to do something big, you know,
something that really lets people know
that we're gonna love each other forever.
Yeah! What is it?
I got it.
Pregnant? Holy crap! Leslie!
We're having triplets.
Great.
A nightmare.
Triplets.
I'm crying out of happiness and sadness and gratitude
and because of carrying triplets.
A woman who just hit triple cherries in her uterus!
We're screwed.
Hi Grant. I... want the job.
Huh... I have a lot of questions,
but I'm a little amped up right now,
so I'll probably just hang up.
Might be for the best.
But anyway, I love you.
No. I don't. I'm sorry.
That was weird. Okay. Bye.
Dear Award Commitee members
Where I live, there are a lot of apathetic people.
People who don’t care at all about what they do, or how they do it.
They let the world wash over them,
and barely notice anyone else is even there.
Leslie Knope is not one of these people.
She cares about everything, and everyone, in our town.
I don’t know how she does it.
People come to her with the pettiest,
stupidest problems and she cares,
like really actually cares, what happens to them.
And if you’re lucky enough to be her friend,
your life gets better every day.
She spends every waking moment thinking of new ways to make her friends happy.
There is something wonderful about seeing someone
who has found her true purpose on Earth.
For some people I guess that’s being an astronaut,
or a hot dog eating champion.
For Leslie, her true purpose on Earth, her true meaning,
is making people's life better.
I invented this park's games, son!
Dammit! Why did they put a lamp here?
