Okay, so I've been
a little worried

That Ann maybe thinks
that our relationship

Isn't moving forward
fast enough.

And so I'm wondering
if maybe I should ask her

If she would like to move in
with me.

Good idea? Bad idea?
You tell me.

Well, I would say
that some women

Won't consider moving in
with someone

Unless they think
marriage is in the future,

Which I know for you is--
- I intend to marry her.

For realskies?

I'm not really quite sure
how I feel.

Um, I--it--
it's a little weird.

I mean, I'm happy for them.
They're my friends.

It makes me a little nauseous.

If I could just sum it up
in one word, it would be, um...

[gasps]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.

[triumphant music]

♪ ♪

[phone rings] Parks and rec.

Confirming what?

That's not possible.

Oh, no.

Hey. Good morning.

Why are there six people
outside who say

They're waiting to meet
with me?

So you know how you love me
because you haven't had

A single meeting with anyone
since I became your assistant?

That's because every time
someone calls

And requests a meeting
with you,

I always schedule it
for March 31st.

Why?

Because I didn't think
March 31st existed.

♪ 30 days has September,
April, March, and November ♪

June and November.

Today is March 31st.

I know.

So then how many meetings
do I have today?

- 93.
- [Strangled groan] okay.

Okay. Well, you know
what to do.

Right.

- To me, this situation
is a blood-soaked,

Nightmarish hellscape.

However, to Leslie Knope...
Oh, how fun.

Yay.

Why don't you take
as many as you can

And I'll cover the rest?

I have a better idea.

Why don't I try to rustle up
seven more meetings

'cause I think
it would be cooler

If there were an even 100.

- Just--why don't we just
stick to these 93

And see how it goes.

Yeah, okay.

This is the perfect distraction
for me.

Okay, so I have
everything I need, right?

I have a fresh cup of coffee,
comfy, fur-lined boots.

I'm gonna need those boots
back by the end of the day.

Yeah, no problem.

They're actually
a little narrow for me.

Leslie, here's a guy.

Hi, I'm Leslie Knope,
deputy director.

Bill Haggardy,
Pawnee historical society.

I'm supposed to be meeting
with Ron Swanson.

I understand that.
He's tied up right now.

What a shocker.

I've been trying
to meet with him three months

And now he's not available.

It's probably too late now,

But, uh, some rich woman,
Jessica wicks,

Has rented out turnbill mansion
for a party

And she's making alterations.

"alterations"?

Turnbill mansion is one
of the most beloved

Historical sites in Pawnee.

In 1867, the progressive
reverend turnbill

Officiated a wedding
between a white woman

And a wamapoke Indian chief.

The secret ceremony
was beautiful and romantic.

But then word got out

And the reception
was a bloodbath.

Fortunately,
there were two survivors.

Unfortunately,
they were both horses.

Hold up. Former beauty queen
Jessica wicks?

- Yes.
- I'm Tom Haverford.

I'm gonna be running point
on this, bill.

Why didn't you try to stop her?

Her husband
is Nick Newport, Sr.

From sweetums.

Everyone in this town
is afraid to say no to him.

Okay, everybody just relax.

What alterations
is she trying to make?

Drilling holes. Painting.
Uh, removing wainscoting.

Uh, she's tearing down
the gazebo.

What? She's what?
No, she's not.

Okay, Tom, go get the car.

- Ow!
- Oh, sorry.

- Don't throw things at me.
- Oh, these are tight.

I'll devise an action plan

To help us coordinate better
among the departments.

Will you? Great.
Thanks for coming in.

Who's next?
Tom, I'll meet you at the car.

Where the hell are you going?

We have 91 more meetings.

I'm sorry, Ron.

As much as I would like to go

For the all-time, city hall
single day meetings record,

There is an emergency.

Someone is trying to alter
a gazebo.

- Hey.
- Oh, hey, Ann.

Sorry I can't hang out.
I kind of have an emergency.

Oh, I'm actually here
to see mark.

Right. Oh, well,
thanks for the coffee.

- That's also for mark.
- Mm. I really need it though.

But next time more sugar.
Okay, thanks. Bye!

Um, do you want me
to postpone the rest?

Or I could set myself on fire
and create a diversion.

No. I'm gonna do
all of these today.

Round up whoever's free.

I'm gonna need more
Ron Swansons.

Look at that.
It's gorgeous.

What kind of monster
would want to change this?

- Ugh! Pre-zit.

Do you have any, uh,
brown concealer by any chance?

I need to look good
for Jessica.

They may be rich, but they
can't just destroy history.

Let's go.
Right behind you.

I just need to spend a minute
on my cologne cloud.

- [coughs] what is that?
- Attack by Dennis Feinstein.

When you want to attack
the senses

Of the lady you want to bed.

- Oh, my God.
- Door! Door! Door! Door!

Close it.
Ugh.

So basically,
we're completely swamped.

All hands on deck.

I don't even work
in this building.

Don't care. I need anyone
with a pulse and a brain

To pitch in.

Ron, do you need help
with anything?

No. We're good. Thanks.

In fact,
you can head home early.

Right now the four of us
are going to divvy up

All these meetings.

Just make 'em feel
like they've been heard.

Understood?
Yes, sir.

Bert Macklin, FBI, on the case.

April,
you take Leslie's office.

Andy,
you're in the conference room.

Ann, take your meetings
in the courtyard.

Just sit there
and don't ruin the city.

Dismissed.

What are you doing?

Can I get a badge?

Hey. Brought you coffee.
Help you get through the day.

- Thanks, dude.
- No problem, lady.

I'm gonna go.
Okay.

April is the best.
But she's 20.

When April was born,
I was already in 3rd grade.

Which means if we were
friends back then,

I'd have been hanging out
with a baby.

I don't know anything
about infant care.

My God, I could've killed her.

Ah, Mr. Newport, Sr.

I've just been informed
that you plan

On altering this mansion.

And as a member
of the parks department,

As a pawneean, and an American,

I ask you to refrain

From harming this historic
structure.

What?

I'll take care of this,
love nut.

- Biscuit.
- Yeah. Hi.

I'm Jessica wicks.
Miss Pawnee 1994.

Hello.
Yes, we've met before.

We were both judges
at the pageant last year.

Leslie Knorp.
Of course. How are you?

Jessica wicks! Hey, boo.

Are you aging in reverse
'cause you look barely legal?

Tom Haverford.

If you're not the most
charming man in Indiana.

And this must be
the luckiest man in Indiana.

Sir, it is an honor
to meet you.

Come here, you.

Tell me straight.
Are you a Chinese?

No. I'm one of
the Indian people.

That floppy old bag of money

Is gonna be dead in, like,
a month.

And who's going
to comfort Jessica

And her millions of dollars?

Yeah, Jessica's a gold digger,
but I'm a gold digger digger.

So how did you
and Mr. Newport meet?

Well, I was doing a ribbon
cutting at the hospital.

And he was there
because his blood doesn't work.

And we started talking.

And then I realized who he was.

[laughs] oh, my gosh.
It was love at first sight.

Oh, that sounds so romantic.

Um, Jessica, I know
you've rented out this house

For a party, but it's
on the historical register

So we can't allow any changes.

I--I'm so sorry.

[laughs] it's a little late
for that, sweetheart.

I told them what I was doing
months ago.

Where I come from
there's a saying

"what's done is done."
Hmm.

That's a saying everywhere.

I've never heard it before

And I think
it's a great saying.

Well, maybe we can just limit
the damage.

How much have you done?
You painted this?

- Uh-huh. Miami teal is Nicky's
favorite color.

We also replaced
some of the sconces,

Got rid of the furniture,
painted these floors black.

Oh, my God, these were
the original hardwood floors.

Yeah. They were all
scratched up.

I did you a favor.
Come on in here.

I'll show you guys
what we did in the sitting room.

After you.
I'd hate to miss the view.

I should just pay you
to follow me around.

If that's a job offer,
I accept.

Oh, my God.

Why did you have to drill holes
in the wall?

To hang my birthday present
to Nicky.

My heavens.

- Isn't there a way that
that you--oh, my.

History is important.

You just can't go around
changing everything

All the time or else
next thing you know

They'll be painting
the white house...

Not white.

I'm so angry,
I can't think of another color.

Green.

So your department banned me
from attending games

Just because I yell
"you suck" at the players.

According to the complaint,

You yelled it
at five-year-old girls.

I thought I was having
this meeting with Ron Swanson.

I'm afraid that Ron Swanson's

Currently dead.

- Oh.
- I'm his daughter.

April Swanson.

And it's his last wish

That I have this meeting
with you.

I represent the ultimate
Frisbee league.

- Pawnee has an ultimate league?
- Yes.

And we keep running
into conflicts--

- You won me over.
I will join your team.

- I'm sorry,
um, what we need--

- When does practice start?
And do you provide the jerseys?

What color are the jerseys
by the way?

What's our team name?
Are we "the lightning"?

Now, I have to tell you,

I don't actually work
in the parks department.

I'm a nurse.
Seriously?

That's great news.

I have the weirdest thing
on my arm.

Can you see this?
Every time.

Well, thank God you haven't
torn down the gazebo yet.

Ugh. Don't remind me.

The demolition people couldn't
get here until this afternoon.

I've had to look
at that ugly thing all day long.

Ugly thing?

Let me tell you
a little something

About this ugly thing, ma'am.

150 years ago,
an interracial couple

Was married here
and then slaughtered

By their own families.

It's one of the most beautiful
stories in Pawnee's history.

Why are you trying
to destroy it?

Don't tell me
about Pawnee history.

The newports made this town.

85th birthday without this
mushy, old, pile of rot.

Your husband's
a mushy, old, pile of rot.

You were a stick in the mud

When we judged
that beauty pageant

And you're being
a stick in the mud now!

I am not a stick in the mud!

I-I just want to stop a party
from happening.

Ron, I have a gazebo update

So ignore all my previous
voicemails and emails.

Uh, Leslie, I haven't
relieved myself in five hours.

So if you'll excuse me.

Ron, I'm sorry,
but this can't wait.

Jessica wicks refuses--
- Leslie, what the [bleep]?

- Hey!
- Miss Knope!

Councilman Howser!
Nice to see you again.

Not that I saw anything
other than your face.

And I would like to talk
to you a little bit

About this gazebo thing.

You know, the p--
okay. Okay.

Enough of this.
Do whatever you want.

Alert the media.
Call FEMA. I don't care.

Do not bother me
with this again.

[sighs]

- Miss Knope.
- Councilman Howser.

I saw your penis.

There are eight swings
at Ramsett park

And every single one of them
is broken.

Can you please
just fix one of them?

Ron told me I can't
say yes to anything.

But it's such
a reasonable request,

I can't just say no.

[crackling exhale]
So that's a "yes"?

Just say out loud
"yes" or "no".

- Eeeeeee-boop!

Yeah, they do look
a little bit swollen.

Just follow the pen.

Follow the pen t...

Does--does that hurt?

[exhales]

There's no way
this ordinance goes through.

There's too much red tape.

Mm. This gridlock
drives me nuts.

Tell me about it.

Yeah, I think
you're gonna have to make

An end run, you know?

Go right to the commissioner
on this one.

You know what,
I hadn't thought of that.

That is a really great idea.
Yeah?

- I'm gonna do that.
- Okay.

Your last resort is probably
gonna be city council.

- Good luck there. [chuckles]
- Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

I have no idea
what I was saying.

I ask you,

Is this too revealing
for a public pool?

Kindly get your groin
off my desk.

So my body makes you
uncomfortable too?

Hey, mark,
I'm kind of freaking out

About this historical
mansion thing.

Can I talk to you for a second?

I'm actually headed
right out the door.

Oh, you're going on a date
with Ann?

Uh, yeah, I was gonna
surprise her.

Take her to a nice restaurant.

- Don't worry about it.
- You sure now?

Yeah. Have a good time.

- How we doing?
- Pretty good.

I may have promised a new
aquatic center to somebody.

Is that a problem?

I diagnosed two melanomas.

They're both benign.

April was supposed
to be the moat

That kept the citizen barbarians
away from Swanson castle.

Instead, she blew up the castle
and stabbed me in the face.

I hired you to do one thing.
Just one.

I don't care that you text
all day and sleep at your desk.

In fact, I encourage it.

But only because you were doing
that one thing...

Keeping this crap off my desk!

Give me five minutes
before the next one.

That guy is scary
when he's angry.

Yeah, God, I know.

Hey, sorry, dude.
I don't need your sympathy.

Or yours.

I wasn't offering my sympathy.

Thank you for meeting me here.

Sure. What's up?

Okay, I need you to get this
word for word.

It's a tape recorder
so it will.

- [dramatically] gazebo?
More like "Ga-zoinks-Bo."

She may be
a former beauty queen,

But today she's the king
of destroying history.

Okay, could you just,
maybe, talk normally?

- Okay, fine.
Ga-zoinks-Bo.

Jessica wicks is throwing
a birthday party

For her husband,
Nick Newport, Sr.,

At the turnbill mansion
tonight.

Okay, I'm gonna stop you
right there.

So?

Sweetums owns
the Pawnee journal.

- Crrr-AP on the cob.

I will take it
into consideration.

Thank God!
That was it, right?

- Uh, no, there's one more.
- Damn it to hell!

It's with me.
And it's right now.

And it's about me quitting.

I quit.

I have no other choice, okay?

This is the only rational way
I know to prevent this tragedy.

[vehicle approaching]
oh, my God. Here they come.

Tom, throw away the key!
Seriously?

Yes, throw it!

Out of the way!

Sir, I'm sorry,
but you're a little late.

You're gonna have to turn
this thing around

'cause you're not getting
in here.

My God. Tom, stop him!
Jump in front of it!

Sacrifice your tiny body!

Really thought that gate
would open in the middle.

Well, the gazebo
has been destroyed.

And the thing that bothers me
the most--

Cut it out, Tom.

- It never gets old!
- [Sighs]

Oh, hey, Ann and mark
are coming!

Guys, not so close.
You're gonna--you're gonna--

- Sensor.

Sorry if I ruined your evening.

- Leslie, it's totally fine.
- I chained myself to a gate.

- I can see that.
- Are you okay?

Nothing's bruised but my ego
and my arm a little

From the mechanized gate.

Thanks again for letting me
take those meetings today.

I've never really had
a meeting before.

They're awesome.
You're welcome.

Hey, have you seen April
around?

She usually comes by
at the end of the day.

You might want to check
her house.

She quit on me.

What? Why?

She screwed up
my entire life today.

That was one mistake.
She's perfect for you.

Come on. There's no one
in the world

Who's gonna do a better job
for you than April.

Either you hire her back
or I quit.

- You don't work for me.
- And I never will, sir.

Good day.

So what'd you guys
talk about at dinner?

Huh? Was it fun?
Any big decisions arrived at?

- It was fine.
- Uh, do you need a ride home?

No, Tom's gonna take me.
You guys go on ahead.

I'm glad you're okay.
Call me tomorrow.

Bye, Leslie.

Well, hello there.
You must be Ron Swanson.

Well, welcome
to castle Ludgate!

- Larry, who is it?
- It's Zuzu's boss.

Oho, Ron. Rita Ludgate.

Oh, you have no idea how nice
it is to meet you.

Well, oh, come in,
for gosh sake.

What can I get you to drink?

Ooh. Could you take
your shoes off, please?

Thank you so much.

Uh, nothing to drink.
Thanks.

- Oh.
- Is April around?

Uh, Zuzu, you have a guest!

Well, I'll fetch her.

She's probably
on the Internet again.

- Uh, I'll come with you.
- Okay.

Uh, you make yourself
at home, Mr. Swanson.

Thank you.

You must be April's sister.
I'm Ron.

[clears throat]
nice to meet you.

No offense, but I think
the normal grieving time

For gazebo destruction
has passed.

Yeah, well,
maybe that's not entirely

What I'm upset about.

Mark and Ann
are gonna get married.

Really?
Why does that bother you?

I should be the one
that's upset.

It was supposed to be
me and Ann, or me and Jessica,

Or Ann and Jessica
with me watching.

Every time a couple
gets married,

I'm about to lose
two good friends.

Come on.

They drove over here
and cut you down from a gate.

I really don't think
you have to worry about them

Abandoning you
once you get married.

Yeah, yeah, I know that.
In my brain.

- Can we go?
- Yeah. Let's go.

I just need to go
do one more thing.

- Ah, come on. No! No, no, no.
- Yes.

♪ loving smiles ♪

♪ and smiling tears ♪

♪ the midnight of my heart ♪

♪ is you ♪
Okay, I'm sorry, everyone.

Excuse me. Excuse me.
But I need to say something.

- Is that gate lady?
- Yes.

I know you're probably thinking

"there's that crazy gate lady
from outside back again."

And to some extent,
you're right.

I am the gate lady.

But the only thing
I'm crazy about

Is leaving the past behind.

So I would like to apologize
and raise a glass

To change, and forgiveness,
and the future,

And Ann and mark,
and happiness,

And Nick Newport, Sr.

May all your future gazebos
live long and prosper.

Please leave.

Is it weird if I ask to take
a piece of cake with me?

I won't.
Go.

Why are you here?

- Come back to work.
- No.

Come back.
I want you to come back.

Well, I don't want
to come back. The end.

I was talking to Andy
about you.

And he made me realize
that I need you back at work.

- What did he say?
- Don't recall.

- Fine. I'll come back.
- Good.

Okay. I'm leaving.

Bye, Zuzu.
Bye, Duke Silver.

My mom has all your albums.

I recognized you
the day we met.

- Have you told anyone?
- No.

Good girl.

Excuse me.

I had a meeting
with Ron Swanson yesterday,

But I have a little
car trouble.

Sorry, he's busy right now.

Oh. Uh, well,
well, can I reschedule?

Sure. Hmm.
How about June 50th?

You should
come back today at 2:65?

He's available then.
What is going on?

Looks like the only other day
he has open

Is March-tember one-teenth.

Does that work, sir?
[phone rings]
