All language subtitles for Parks and Recreation s07e00_English

�Go...
�Go, team!

�Just over five years ago,
we all said goodbye

to NBC's iconic hit series
"Parks and Recreation."

�That is a series wrap.

�And tonight, the entire cast
is getting back together

for a one�night�only
reunion special.

�We're back.
�What?!

�But first,
join us as we look back

at many of your
favorite moments...

�Uh�oh!
[ All shouting ]

�...and hear from the stars
who made us laugh

for seven incredible seasons.

�I think it's the best cast
in television.

�Being on this show
has been the time of my life.

�Welcome to "The Paley Center
Salutes 'Parks and Recreation.'"

♪♪♪

�Tell us a little bit
about this show.

What is it about?

�Well, the show takes place

in the Parks and Recreation
Department,

of which I am
the deputy director.

Leslie Knope is very,
very serious about her job.

She's a complete optimist.

�I'm barely 34,
and I've already landed

a Parks Department
exploratory subcommittee.

[ Scoffs ]
I'm a rocket ship!

�We kind of follow her journey

of realizing how good intentions
are often not enough.

That was really good.
�[ Laughs ]

�I'll tell you if I did
a good dry run.

That was really good.
You guys are gonna use that.

�We thought of the show
as the comedy version

of "The West Wing,"
where "The West Wing" was, like,

about the big, gigantic
international crises.

And we thought that
the comedy version of that

would be on a very small,
local level in a small town

in a small department
in that town.

�Ladies and gentlemen,
the world�famous Li'l Sebastian.

�What?!
�Yes!

�No way!

�Li'l Sebastian!

Oh, my God!
�[ Laughing ]

�I never thought
I'd get to meet him.

�It's really him!

�Well done, Leslie.
Well done!

�They've done an incredible job
of casting.

Everybody's hilarious

and brings their own
unique flavor to the show.

�When the economy turns around,

I'm gonna have a ton
of developers

who would love to exploit
that property.

�But the president
wants public works now.

�The president?
What, of the United States?

�Yes!

�Could never have imagined
that I would land a role

that was so funny
and so winning.

�Behold!

The Swanson Pyramid
of Greatness.

Categories include...

Capitalism,
God's way of determining

who is smart and who is poor.

�13, Act 1, take 1.

�And we're set.

�Andy!
�[ Laughing ]

�I just feel lame.

It's like my girlfriend
is fighting my battles for me.

�Well, I'm just gonna talk
to these government guys

and tell them they have to
fill in this stupid pit.

Do you not want me to go?

�No. Go.

[ Laughter ]

�The character of Andy
is a clown

that I have been working on
my whole life.

He's got this
golden retriever�like quality.

He's earnest and sweet and dumb
but confident.

It's a funny combination
to get to play.

�Uh�oh!
Nailed it.

�I didn't think I'd ever be
on this show to begin with.

I've never been
on a TV show before,

and I don't even know
how I got onto this one.

�Is there any job
you've seen around here

that you think you might want
to try to do someday?

�Um, I haven't really
thought about it.

�You know, you remind me of me
when I was your age.

�[ Quietly ]
How is that possible?

[ Laughter ]

�April, you're like an angel
with no wings.

�So like a person.

�And action!

�So, I mean...
�No, not necessarily.

I just feel like
there's definitely...

I play a nurse
who comes in at first

as kind of just somebody who
wants to see something change,

and then we all start
to work together.

It's not my full�time job,
but it's my cause.

�I am gonna make a vow now
that I will do whatever it takes

to get this pit filled in.

Even if it takes two months.

�Whoo!

�Guys, settle, please.
Very quiet.

�How many times have I told you
not to walk in my eye line?

�All I can think about
is Captain Mustache

plowing my ex�wife.

�Tom's basically like the guy in
your office when you look over

and he's just, like,
IM'ing all day

or looking at
celebrity websites.

�Sometimes you got to work
a little so you can ball a lot.

�He thinks he's kind of like the
Kanye West of local government.

�Once a year, Donna and I
spend a day treating ourselves.

What do we treat ourselves to?

�Clothes.
�Treat yo' self.

�Fragrances.
�Treat yo' self.

�Massages.
�Treat yo' self.

�Mimosas.
�Treat yo' self.

�Fine leather goods.
�Treat yo' self.

�It's the best day of the year.

�♪ The best day of the year ♪

�I think Tom and Donna
are better outside of business.

They're better when
they're just chilling

and pampering themselves.

�Relaxation lesson number one ��

Acupuncture is great for
your back and your rear.

Needles in your face,
pleasure in your base.

♪♪♪

�Let's reset.

�Feel like you're
really close to me. Sorry.

�If you hit your mark,
I wouldn't be.

[ Both laugh ]

�Jerry, ultimately,
has a smile on his face.

He can be cut at the knees,

and he might initially
react to that,

but just give him a few minutes,
and it's gonna all be okay.

�We're completely swamped.
All hands on deck.

�Ron, do you need help
with anything?

�No, we're good.
Thanks.

In fact, you can
head home early.

�When the opportunity came up
to work on the show,

it was a no�brainer.

It was an immediate, "Yeah,

and when do I show up, and can I
do it for free?" sort of thing.

I'm not doing it for free.

�I really like your shirt.

�So, I'd like to talk about

where you think there's waste
within your department.

[ Both scoff ]

�There is none.
�Where do I start?

�What I love about Chris Traeger

is his unrelenting enthusiasm.

He is the most positive person
in the world.

�Scientists believe
that the first human being

who will live 150 years
has already been born.

I believe I am that human being.

♪♪♪

�Action!

�The success of the show
is dependent on the writing.

Our scripts are always
so well�written

and tight and funny and layered.

And everybody can relate
to working with people

that you have nothing
in common with.

�We need to remember
what's important in life ��

friends, waffles, and work.

Or waffles, friends, work.

Doesn't matter.
But work is third.

�There was a desire to do
an "Office" spin�off,

but then we came up with this
idea, and Amy became available.

�I met Amy Poehler in 1997
in New York City,

and I couldn't believe
how funny she was.

Getting to develop a show
for her

and to work with her every day,
it's just a writer's dream.

�She was, like, my hero
when I was in high school,

so I feel pretty lucky
to perform with her.

�I thought she was pretty cool.

I wouldn't say she was my hero,
but, yeah, she was cool.

�She was my only hero.
Only. And still.

�And my hero was probably,
you know, Michael Jordan.

And I'd love to act
with him sometime, as well.

�A very special "Parks
and Recreation" cast reunion

is just moments away.

�We're back.
�But first...

�Working with a cast
that's this deep

and has this many
funny people on it,

you spend most of your time
in the scene

just trying not to laugh.

�No, it wa��
[ Laughter ]

�When "The Paley Center Salutes

continues.

�The most fun times for me

are always when all of us
are in a big group scene.

There's just something
that's really fun

when we all get
to play off each other.

�Moving on to recycling.

�Ugh!

�You okay, Ron?
�Just a little tooth pain.

I'm fine. Continue.

�Okay. Each department
will be getting blue bins ��

�Ughhh!

�Do you need to go
to the dentist, Ron?

�I don't like dentists.

Just a second.

�Hey!
�No, no, no.

�Oh, no, no, no, no, no!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

No, no, no, no, no,

�What the [bleep]

�Oh, my God!
�I'm sorry, everybody.

What were we talking about?
Recycling?

�I love every single scene
when I'm in the conference room

because that meant
that between takes,

we were just laughing and having
a ball with each other.

And those were always
my favorite.

�You will not be hiring anyone

because my department is just
finishing up a major project.

�Excuse me.

�Working with a cast
that's this deep

and has this many
funny people on it,

you spend most of your time
in the scene

just trying not to laugh.

�Every hero struggles
with failure,

faces something they cannot do.

Andy had one of those moments

where he faced something
just like that a few years ago.

�Athlete's foot of the butt.

�No. It wa��

�Everyone is funny and weird
and supportive,

and it's really, really fun.

�Oh!
What are you doing?

[ All shouting ]

�Aah!

�Aah! Aah!

�Greg and Mike
are really awesome

about letting us improvise,
and obviously, you know,

to improvise with people
like Amy is just a dream.

�Do you like
this new button�down?

Purple.

Sweater�vest combo.

Saw it at Brooks Brothers,
bought it off the doll.

[ Laughter ]

�I love a moment early on
when Leslie was sick

and I was taking her
out of her office,

and Chris Pratt, in one of
the best improvised lines

on the show, he said...

�Leslie, I typed your symptoms
into the thing up here,

and it says you could have
"network connectivity problems."

�It's great to have that
on a network television show,

just sort of,
"Hey, let's try this,"

and just throw it
against a wall.

�There is quite literally
nothing in the world

that I would rather do

than take a tour
of the Parks and Rec Department.

[ Laughs ]

Aah!

�It's really fun when we take
our small, little group

of Indiana weirdos

and we transplant them
somewhere else.

�Can't believe
we're at Hogwarts!

�No, that's Buckingham Palace.

Hogwarts is fictional.
Do you know that?

It's important to me
that you know that.

�We're in downtown Boston.

Boston, Massachu�� What?

No?
Oh, Chicago?

Alright, sorry.
I guess we're in Chicago.

�The trips to Washington, D. C.,
were great.

It was amazing being able
to work with the vice president

and with Madeleine Albright.

�Can we go on a road trip?

�I'm up for that.
Can I drive?

�Yes.
�I'm a really good driver.

�I bet.
�Okay.

�Of course you are.

[ Both laugh ]

�Honestly, I think it's just
as funny, if not funnier,

when the cameras are off.

We get along so well,

and we're all just
kind of playing all the time.

�We actually love Jim,

and everyone
thinks that we don't,

and for some reason,
they might ��

Probably because
we are so mean to Jerry,

but I'll tell you what,
nobody better than him.

�Nothing but love on set, right?

Okay.

�That's the best part, really,

is the people
that we get to work with.

Or I get to work with.

I say "we" because I refer
to myself as two people.

Myself as producer
and myself as actor, you know.

Yeah, yeah.

And I have a dark side
and a light side,

so I like to ��
so all those things.

But what were you saying?

�Coming up...

�It's nice to kind of
have female friendship on TV.

�Hos before bros.

Uteruses before duderuses.
�Got it.

�...when
"The Paley Center Salutes

'Parks and Recreation'" returns.

.

�Early on, when we were trying
to figure out

the tone of the show,
Amy and I had a lot of, like,

scenes where we'd have,
like, girl time.

They'd let us go
for like 15 minutes

with a spy camera out here,
just us just breaking it down

about guys and life
and work and love in there.

I think those are probably
my most cherished memories.

�You are awesome.
�Yeah!

And you are, too.

�Thank you.
�You are, too.

�Thank you.
�You are, too, Ann!

�Okay! You're awesome.
�You're awesome.

�It's nice to kind of have
female friendship on TV,

which you kind of
don't see as much.

�You know my code ��
hos before bros.

Uteruses before duderuses.
�Got it.

�Ovaries before brovaries.

�Ann has a soft spot for Leslie.

She just really likes her,

and she knows her intentions
are really good

and she's got
a really good heart.

And so she forgives her

some of her wild, fantastical,
unrealistic notions.

�Would you be cool doing things
that a prostitute does?

�Uh...

�Minus the money?

�Definitely yes, then.
�Thanks, Ann.

�Leslie starts a tradition
called Galentine's Day

where she gets all
of her gal friends together

and they celebrate their strong,
individual, independent selves.

�Galentine's Day
made me feel better.

So thanks.

�Oh, Ann,
you beautiful spinster.

I will find you love.

�What?
Did you say something?

�Love you!

�Leslie has kind of
female role models,

and she is living in a time

when politics isn't
such a boys' club anymore

and includes herself
in this long list

of women
making a lot of progress.

And, of course,
she might be overreaching.

�The whole city is watching.

If I can't move that fridge
onto that truck,

then feminism
is over in this town.

[ Grunting ]

I don't know why I thought
sneaking up on it would work.

�I'd like it to be remembered
as a feminist show.

It's very, very lady�supportive.

�You know what? I'm gonna
get that commission going,

because this inequality
has gone on long enough.

�You know what? I think men
are better than women.

�She's kidding.
�No, I'm not.

They provide for us,
and we must obey them

because they are our masters.

�April, stop it.

�Leslie, you'll never land a
beau with that domineering tone.

We must always
walk behind the men.

�When I think about Amy
and I think about Mike Schur

and I think about Greg Daniels,
the common thread there is that

they're not interested in comedy

�Leslie Knope, will you ��

�Yes!

�Marry me?
�Oh, yeah.

�Okay, great.
[ Both laugh ]

�I think we were all relieved ��

I certainly was ��
that they finally got together.

It was a long time coming.

You just wanted them

She means it.

�Yeah, I�I won't.

�Seriously, son.
Don't hurt her.

�Okay, I'm not planning
on hurting her.

�You better not be.
�I'm not.

�Hey, Ben,
you best watch yourself.

�Why would any of you think
I would hurt Leslie?

You're all my friends, too.
�Meh.

�There's such great comedy,

but it's rooted
in real human relationships.

�Andy and April,
they're such fun characters.

Like, every scene they're in,
it's fun to watch them

because they're so different,

but they complement each other
in such a weird, crazy way.

�So much more beautiful than
I could've ever even imagined.

�Yeah.

I'm trying to find a way
to be annoyed by it,

but I'm coming up empty.

�Where's all the faces?

Like, the presidents.

�Welcome to my last day
on "Parks and Recreation."

�I am literally right now

walking down that hallway

to do my last scene
as Chris Traeger.

So I'm very sad.

�If you work hard,
you spend a lot of time

away from your friends

And if you're lucky,
you love what you do

the case here.
