April · Leslie:And some privacy to violate! Yeah! Whoo! Wait, no.
Orin · Leslie · April:Are you a ghost? Yes, we are. Why you think you can lift it? You are two little canaries.
April:Look, all we have to do is get some PCP. You can move anything on angel dust.
Ben · April · Andy:Babe, you look super hot. You realize you've said that about all of them? Well, she has, every single time. 'Cause she is super hot. Honestly, you'd look hot naked.
April:Ugh. This suit makes me want to scold a Catholic child.
April:I don't know who Ann Taylor is, but I hate her and I want to kill her.
April:She had the patch sewn in. You can't remove it. What's in the pocket, you ask? A ticket stub from a Fleetwood Mac concert in 1995
April · Andy:So tomorrow, I lead a public forum in Leslie's Fleetwood Mac sex pants. Fleetwood Mac Sex Pants. New band name. I call it. Ooh, you know what? Maybe just Fleetwood Mac.
April:As Eleanor Roosevelt once said to Betty Ford... 'Hillary Clinton is great.'
April · Andy:Friendship bands that I've made for each and every one of you. So now, I guess we're Park Pals. You should see the booger under this chair.
Citizen · April · Walter:I'm afraid this park will raise my taxes. Ah, well, fear not. Between the normal Parks budget and our corporate partners-- I'm also afraid the park will be noisy. And full of spiders. And dark at nighttime. I'm scared of a lot of stuff.
Harris · April · Harris:Is this gonna be a topless park? I don't think there are topless parks. Well, let's build the first one and be heroes.
April:Um, crappy. We only got four signatures. Two of them were me and Andy, and one of them said 'Farts McCool.'
April · Andy:This bag is full of Fruit Roll-Ups and baseball cards. I don't have my Leslie pantsuit or my Leslie headband or my Leslie notes. I can't do this meeting without my Leslie stuff.
April:Look, you won't have to pay any extra money, okay? And don't ever call me 'ma'am' again.
April:Nobody wants your creepy stoner eyes staring at them while they're enjoying a park, okay? Stop being gross.
Leslie · April:That's mine. I wanted that back. Well, frankly, you should have thought of that before we burned it.
April · Leslie · April:Uh, we are burning this awful pantsuit. That's mine. I wanted that back. Well, frankly, you should have thought of that before we burned it.
April:And if you don't, I'll just divorce you and marry someone else and then cheat on them with you.
April:I found a dead rabbit on the side of the road, and I cut its feet off and made it into a lucky charm.
Andy · April:That guy's my wife. - Um, you also work there.
Store clerk · April · Andy:And they were nipple rings, at one point. How do you know that? They were his.
April:I don't want anyone else in this town to get married, because it makes it less special for us.
April · Andy:I forge government documents all the time. - That's true.
April:You have got an amazing house and a really cool nightgown and seem to be super good at dating.
April:Well, good thing you're an orthodontist.
Leslie · April:April, as requested, we threw that box you gave us into that volcano. - Thank you.
Ben · April:You came down here to pass on helping me? Yeah, I wanted to see what your face looked like when I said no. It was totally worth it.
April:He's always sad and sweaty. He's usually happy and sweaty.
April:Ambulances are dumb. When has an ambulance ever helped anyone?
Tom · Ben · April:Then who is it? Well, he is, uh, sitting right here in this courtyard. That guy? Do you even know him? Oh, my God, Andy, it's you.
April:They once got him $60,000 'cause he got too scared at a haunted house.
April:Ronny? Are you kidding me? I've never heard him threaten to hurt anyone or anything. The guy's, like, a vegetarian.
April:His nickname around the office is 'Softy-Pants McHuggable.'
April:Also, may I say for the record, that is a dope pocket square. Can I see that bad boy?
April:I only tell the truth when it makes me sound like I'm lying.
April:He says a lot of things. He's always talking about overthrowing the government, but he never does that.
April:I don't like lotion. I like my hands to be cracked and calloused like a railway worker.
April:Batman. See? I failed.
April · Leslie:But only if you divorce Ben. Hey, don't even joke about that. What? I really think he's wrong for you.
April:Alcohol is delicious and fun... damentally a substance that should not be abused.
April:Are you breaking up with me?
April · Leslie:Can I hire an intern? Not yet. Can I hire a Mexican elf? No. Can I buy a child bride? No. Then how is this even a promotion?
April:My spirit blood is on your hands.
April:It's my favorite kind of battle. Two men enter, one me leaves.
April:I will pit Ron and Chris against each other. They'll argue about dumb stuff that doesn't matter, and I will bail. Then I'll steal $20 from Chris's wallet and buy pizza with Andy. Oh. and I'll also steal Ron's watch, just for fun.
April:We are all out of water, actually. I'll have to use boiling hot milk.
April:What the fuck is happening right now?
April:Torturing Jerry was my favorite thing in the world. After making out with you.
April:Andy will never be the new Jerry. Nothing embarrasses him. He's like a giant puppy with no shame.
Jerry · April:Gross, Jerry. She made a meatloaf.
April:Kinda sounds like one of your songs, babe.
April:I love Andy, but to be perfectly honest, Mouse Rat's music is not my thing. I really only listen to, like, German Death Reggae and Halloween sound effects records from the 1950s. And Bette Midler. Obviously.
April · Andy:What do you need a computer fan for? Sometimes when you use a computer, it gets hot, and the fan cools it down.
Andy · April:Name one other band that's done that. The Beatles.
April:Easy: Most murders per capita. The guillotine was invented here. City Hall is run by the walrus mafia.
April:He'll be back in eight minutes.
April · Tom:I actually think that you should get a 'Hello Kitty' tattoo. / No, with the store. / Oh. Uh, burn it for the insurance money.
April · Tom · Jerry:God, nobody cares, Gary. / Enough. / Thank you.
Andy · April:My wife is pregnant! Okay, put me down.
April:I wanna wait until we're 50 and then adopt a set of creepy adult twins from Romania.
April:Trunk.
April:Yeah, an empty Sprite can, an old man's fingernail in my pocket, and a picture of Patrick Ewing on a roller coaster. I'm all set.
April:I'm April Ludgate Kevorkian.
April:Sure you wanna leave me here with her? What if I'm a murderer?
April:Um, I was at orientation, but it was lame, so I left. And then I kept walking, and now here I am.
April:As you remember, I'm April, and this is Ann, my 65-year-old grandmother.
April:Mee-maw, God, no one uses the word hip anymore.
April:Sometimes I wish you went down on the Titanic with all your sorority sisters.
April:How are your local graveyards? I have some planning to do.
April:Youngsters? Am I 65 years old?
April:What, Ann? I just stole your phone and texted every guy in it that the baby was theirs. It's not that big of a deal.
April:And I've met Guy Fieri, Ann. So gross!
Jerry · April:- Hey, everybody. - No! No, why? This can't be happening. Why, Leslie?
Jerry · April · Tom:It's Jerry. No, it's Gary. Your name is Larry, Larry Gengurch. His name is Larry Gengurch.
April:My name's April, and I just wanted to say that your dress is so cute it's bonks.
April:She's the worst person I've ever met. I want to travel the world with her.
April:We've just been like blah blah blah blah blah blah blah! Like, talking, like, so much forever.
April · Tynnyfer:This is, like, the best day ever. I know, I'm eating it all up.
April:It's Dwayne Wade's house. I got his address off the Internet. I really hope he's there when she walks in and he throws a basketball at her head.
April · Unknown · Leslie:Can I have these question mark stickers? Why? I want to put them on stop signs. April, no!
April:Oh, we have a new policy. Parks can only be reserved for witch covens or slip-and-slide competitions.
April · Nadia:Which one are you? Uh, slip-and-slide competition. Seriously? No.
April · Nadia:Why would you even compete in something like that? It doesn't matter.
April:Tom, this witch wants to reserve a park for her satanic ritual.
Tom · April:Brilliant. The old 'D's without 'B's. Uh, we can definitely help. Yeah, Tom's your guy. He actually used to run the Parks Department in his home country of Russia.
April · Tom:What did you name your imaginary airline? 'Jet Blue Ivy.' I figure Jay-Z and Beyonce's kid will own her own airline eventually.
April:Tom wants me to tell you that all the screw-ups were my fault, but really, he kept messing up so that you would stay in Pawnee as long as possible because he is super into you.
April:He's sweet, he's cool, and you're, like, way out of his league, so there's literally no risk for you at all here.
April:I'm going to murder you a thousand times.
April · Jerry/Larry:Take a hike, Jerry. / It's Larry now. / Okay. Take a hike, Larry.
April:Leslie said it was a 'Come As You Were in the Nineties' party. I assumed it was the 1690s.
Andy · April:Babe, if it was the 1690s, we'd all be mummies. / What do you think mummies are? / Skeletons?
Andy · April:I'll karate punch your face with my tongue. / Prove it. / Hi-ya.
April:Half the documents I get, I put right into the shredder because they're so boring.
April:Because you are awesome and everyone else sucks.
Andy · April:Did you... / Yes, I used cookies instead of bread.
April · Larry:Every year, we would dress up like demons and egg Larry's house. / That was you? / Larry, please. We're having a private conversation.
Chris · April:What about this? I'm Bert Macklin, friendly lifeguard. / Bert Macklin is not a lifeguard. He's an FBI agent. / Really? That's even harder to believe.
April:Now I'm sad that I miss Andy and sad that I can't make fun of you to Andy.
April · Chris:And if you want to egg Larry's house, come find me. / You guys are cute. / Where'd that come from? / I'm weak. I miss Andy, and it's making me weak.
April · Chris:Or he's secretly super in love with me. It's probably that. / That's a funny joke, April. But the truth is, I'm very much in love with Ann.
April:I'd go up there and take Andy and Champion and just get away from everyone else and look at spiders.
April:I'd go up there and take Andy and Champion and just get away from everyone else and look at spiders. And it's where I'd bury the bodies of that annoying couple after I murder them.
April:And it's where I'd bury the bodies of that annoying couple after I murder them.
April:I will give you everything in my purse. $8, a bunch of loose cough drops, and Larry's asthma inhaler.
April · Larry:Larry, this is part of a real estate transaction now. You have no legal claim to it. Sorry, I had no idea.
April:Are you in a cult? Can I join? Let's sacrifice Larry
April:What the fuck? Accidental squib explosion
April:Best prank ever
April:Just pick a thing
April:No, that's a super small piano.
Andy · April:$75,000? $300,000? They'll do it.
April:Please welcome Johnny Karate and his magical guitar stick!
April:This is so fun. I cannot believe this only cost me 150 bucks.
April:Ann's leaving town and saying painful good-byes to loved ones. [cut to April] Greatest day of my life!
April:I'm just so scared that this means that Ann won't really leave.
April:You have to hiss really loud and stomp your feet so they'll leave you alone. And if one comes close, make yourself really large like a puffer fish.
April:You have to hiss really loud and stomp your feet so they'll leave you alone. And if one comes close, make yourself really large like a puffer fish.
April:Well, Michigan has wolverines. Maybe they'll eat your toes.
Andy · April · Others:Shotgun! I called shotgun! You're all nailed. I call sitting on your lap. You can't--I--double shotgun! We call double shotgun!
April:Um, I work here, so, legally, you can adopt me.
April:So, like a banana made of spiders?
April:I've said it before and I'll say it again, children are terrible artists.
April:And artists are crooks.
April:Because I want to blow up Donna's desk so I can teach her a lesson about what happens when you skip work.
April:Great first date spot.
April:Stopped by to adopt a dog, but the employee, Donna Meagle, was nowhere to be found. Thanks for nothing, Donna Meagle. Booooo!
April:With five 'O's.
Ron · April:Who's it going to? Canada. It says, 'Dear Canada, you.'
April · Donna:Your lipstick looks weird. You're gonna want to shut your mouth right now.
April:That means she loves it so much she can't speak.
April:in front of the graffiti that says 'Pawnee, you suck,' or 'Go home, Eagleton snobs'?
April:You probably wanna stand to the side so people can see it.
Leslie · April:When he sinks his teeth into something, he's like a dog with a bone! Oh, my God! You can't lean in to whisper and then yell. That's not fair.
April:I just wanted you to have a brief moment of happiness before you got sadder.
April:You are, like, the saxophone player for the California-raisins-good.
April:Ew, my husband, weirdo.
April:You sound like a tampon commercial.
April:Wait, I thought you weren't gonna do Galentine's day this year because that she-beast moved away. I believe her name was Satan?
April:Ooh, I love watching Russian traffic accidents on YouTube while I play children's music at the wrong RPM.
April:Like a solid B-minus.
Donna · April:We love your crazy ass too, Knope. / I think you're fine. Like a solid B-minus.
April:Mm, you touch me and I stab the bunny.
April:I'm just an impartial bunny, but I think Ann sucks. Also-- I'm the zodiac killer.
April:Eew and boo. This kind of thing is getting out of hand with you two.
April:Prom is nothing but a huge party full of smiling, dancing people enjoying themselves. It's literally my worst nightmare.
April:And I hate punch.
April:Fine. I'll go with you, because Leslie's making us, and we live together, and we only have one car right now because you laked mine.
Andy · April:What does 'laked' mean? I tried to jump it over a lake.
April · April's mom:Who's Orin? I'm April's mom.
April:Um, I'm gonna go to the girls' bathroom to check the trash cans for babies, but you can dance if you want.
April · Donna:How can I love someone when I hate everything he loves? That's not true. He loves a lot of dumb stuff, but he loves you the most.
Student · April:Where'd you get that dress? I was buried in it.
April:Because this prom reminds me that... you had, like, a million friends in high school and everyone thought you were awesome, and I spent four years making fun of everyone and hiding mops so the janitor would think he was going insane.
April:What? I broke the box, and I threw away all the votes, and I voted for you a thousand times.
April:He's 33, and I'm 47/immortal.
April:I rigged an election and got kicked out of prom. I can get on board with that.
April:April's motivation: "I wanted to make fun of stupid people while I get drunk. My two true passions"
April:April claiming to study at "The Wine Academy in Bordeaux"
April:April's wine description: "It's like a Charlie Brown Halloween special" because of pumpkin notes
April:April's wine review: "That one sucks"
April:April's wine philosophy: "I think we can agree that all wine tastes the same. And if you spend more than $5 on wine, you are very stupid"
April:April's Eddie Murphy acceptance speech: "Norbit, uh, Pluto Nash, all the Klumps"
April:It's a long story, but the short version is, I'm currently catfishing Anthony Kiedis.
April:You get twice the secrets.
April:That gives us 15 minutes of travel time and 15 minutes for you to take a wet-nap shower in the car.
April:I can't believe you were able to recite that entire movie, from memory, on the plane ride.
Leslie · April:They give tours. / Yeah. That's exactly how they'll be expecting me to try to break in.
April:Huh. I thought he was gonna be on it.
April:Today we have spaghetti, linguine, fettuccine, ravioli, rigatoni, bucatini, lasagna... Ferrari, Lamborghini, bucatini, lasagna.
April:We had to throw our menus away because they are covered with pictures of Larry's dog's rectum.
April:I love quitting. When I was a kid and things didn't go my way, I would just take my ball and go home. That's better than winning, 'cause then, your friends can't play anymore!
Andy · April:Let's get divorced! That way we can get married again! Yes! Let's do it.
April:No. Can't I just stay in the back and spit in people's food like we planned?
April:Spaghetti, linguine, fettuccine, ravioli, rigatoni, Ferrari, Lamborghini, bucatini, lasagna.
April:We had to throw our menus away because they are covered with pictures of Larry's dog's rectum.
April · Andy:One kid peed his pants because he didn't want to miss anything. What? I gave a kid pee-pants? Yes! That's why I do what I do.
April:Wait, what?
April:Chicago seems like there's a lot of stuff to do and people, but I like to do nothing with no one. So, thank you and I love you, but no thank you, and I hate you. More I love you.
April · Andy:Let's get divorced. That way we can get married again! Yes! Let's do it. You want to? Yes! We should do that, right? Yeah, totally. We're getting divorced! Yes!
April · Andy:Andy, no. / Ninjas attack! / Andy. / No. That's my crotch. / Okay, guys. Three more kicks apiece.
April:Andy, we're planning our whole week, like old people! We used to be spontaneous and weird. We used to eat cereal out of Frisbees because we didn't have any bowls.
April · Andy:You once broke a rib trying to wrestle one of those inflatable floppy guys at a car dealership. / I won.
April:Well, I only have $2 million in the discretionary fund, and I've already used some of it to make Thomas Jefferson sexier in those Mount Rushmore promotions. Which, by the way, attendance has been up. That's not a coincidence.
Andy · April:I'm gonna take a Zantac. All that salt will give me heartburn. / Oh, God. You ruined it.
April · Andy:Even Leslie is crazier than we are. They're still gonna serve that cake, right?
April:And then we need to sign a suicide pact because our lives are meaningless.
Andy · April:Where are we? I have never once been to this part of Pawnee. It's the creepy warehouse district. It's mostly just raccoons and old car batteries.
Realtor · April · Andy:Remember the Pawnee Doll Head Factory? This was a doll head factory? No. This was a holding cell for people who went insane on the assembly line.
Joan · April:You said your name was Glenn? Yes, I did.
April:One car, that they all had to fight for.
April:I'm just gonna go live under a bridge and ask people riddles before they cross.
April:I'm just gonna go live under a bridge and ask people riddles before they cross.
April:That it doesn't count as stripping if no one pays you?
April:Why is every job just paperwork?
April:being embalmed by some weirdo who had to go to school for three years just to cut my guts open.
April:No, I'm not. I've never cared for you.
April:No, I'm not. I've never cared for you.
Andy · April:You could be an airline pilot. I don't like heights. What about a submarine pilot? I don't like depths. I don't like anything, okay?
Andy · April:You say a word, I say a word, we see if it makes a profession. Executive. Trampoline. Computer. Trampoline.
April · Andy:That book sounded so boring, I cried a little. Oh, babe, I'm sorry you had to hear that. You're safe now.
April · Andy:Why? Was there something inside the stupid ball? Ooh! Like a giant hamster?
April:I just wanted to say that I really like your museum. It's weird and sad and unnecessary.
April:The only things I like are dogs, sleeping late, and weird birthmarks.
April:You are drunk and hungover simultaneously at 2:00 in the afternoon.
April:Watermelon, martinis, exposed brick, Keri Russell's hair.
April:On the advice of my therapist, Dr. Richard Nygard, whenever I feel like yelling, I just take a deep breath and say three great things about being alive.
April:I started here when I was 20, and now I'm old and gross and directionless. Those kids are me ten years ago, and this internship is the videotape from The Ring.
April:It's too late for me. I've seen too much. But maybe I can save them. / You're all gonna die in here!
April:Okay, that doesn't help me.
Jen · April:The only thing I love more than parks is recreation. / Really? / No, I just needed college credit.
April:I feel like you have almost zero potential. I think that's cool.
April · Jen:What did you want to be when you were little? / A scary mermaid that lures sailors to their death.
April:Okay, side note, I'm gonna file papers to adopt you as my child, so keep an eye out for that.
April:Go do something fun like trying to control birds with your mind or posting internet comments as Michael Jackson's ghost.
April:Recently, I've been feeling like I've wasted the last ten years of my life, and it all started with this internship
April:Sweet potato pie, unlikely animal friend pairings, Jennifer Love Hewitt.
April:Victor Garber, James Garner, Jennifer Garner. I go alphabetical now.
April · Ron:Do mine first. In case something happens to you, I wanna make sure I get paid. Looking out for number one. Always smart.
April:Stop, you're making this sound almost too fun.
April:I literally couldn't care less.
April:I'll say it again. Voodoo is still an option.
April:Tiny rolled-up scrolls delivered by trained foxes.
