-Okay, you need to understand that,
just to keep this town afloat, we probably have to cut
the budget of every department by 40% or 50%. Okay?
-Well, but Chris said that you just had to,
you know, tinker with things.
-Yeah, he said that because that sounds a lot better than
"We're going to gut it with a machete."
-You're a jerk. -I'm sorry?

The government has been shut for two days,

The concert is canceled, everybody.
-No. here's the thing, though, Ben.
It's not canceled. Freddy Spaghetti will sing.

I want the kids to have their concert.
-Ah, Mean Ben has a soft spot.

When I was 18, and I became mayor of my hometown,
I used every last dollar we had
to open a giant winter sports complex. Called it "Ice Town."
-And it turned out great, and everyone loved it.
-Uh, yeah, kind of.
It was never completed, and I got impeached.
-Well, I don't know.
I think Ice Town sounds great.
And the point is, at least you tried something.
The time is now. The place is Pawnee.

particularly between a supervisor and an employee.
-Hey, I never got to tell you the rest of my ideas.
Do you want to go somewhere, and talk about them?
-Yeah. Yeah. I'd love to.
-I need to send out a signal that nothing is gonna happen.

It's so obvious you're dying to be together.
-I can't take this anymore,
and I feel like we have to at least talk about it.
I mean, it's not just me, right?

The only people that know are my mom, Ann, and Ron,
and they're not gonna say anything.
-Right. Just no more fooling around at work.
-Hey, lovebirds, what do I do with this?
-We are part of a group that tries to identify
potential candidates for political office here in town.
Before we go any further, I need you to tell me --
is there a scandal out there?
Is there anything at all you need to tell us about your life?
-Wow.
You knew?
-We have to break up.
After the Smallest Park wraps up,

-I miss you like crazy.
I think about you all the time.
I want to be with you.
So, let's just say "Screw it."

And I think that you may even be guilty of bribery.
-I think I'm about to get fired, Ron.
-Ben asked for a private meeting with the committee,
and he took full responsibility for the bribe,
and resigned -- effective immediately.
The sneaking around, the scandal, losing your job --
was it worth it?
-Yes.
