More:
- Leslie tries to buy the "Mariah needs to sing tonight" medicine from a pharmacist whose name tag appears to say "Kitty". Her name is confirmed in the credits as "Kitty Goodbye". What?

Leslie: All right, Allison. You were in charge of choosing the prom theme. Now, it has to be perfect - and magical - and look like a million bucks but cost zero bucks. So whaddaya got?

Allison: I was thinking the theme could be Fairy Tale. The theatre department did Into the Woods last year and we still have the scenery. I laid out some preliminary plans in this binder.

Score: 2 / 3

~5:50 at the press junket

Leslie: Joan, this slogan is a chance to give our newly-merged city a new identity; to really rebrand this town.

Donna (fake gasp): I know.
April: You do?
Donna: I checked what else that user had written. It was a review of a funeral home that said, "Great first date spot". I dragged Kyle in here to see if you'd come clean.

[Even if you argue this is too much about Kyle, the conversation goes on and the pair reconcile.]

More:
- Joan and Leslie lead an interview with Rosie & Doug DeMarco about marriage - this probably doesn't pass because the exchanges usually end up including a quip about Doug.

Oh! Bon voyage, Ann!
Ann: Oh my God, this is amazing!

Score: 1 / 3

~1:37 in the conference room, Leslie has just noticed the spirit dogs board.

Leslie: You guys think I'm a border collie? I'm so obviously a cocker spaniel.
April: The spirit dog committee ruled on that weeks ago. There is no appeals process.
[April and Donna laugh, Leslie tries to jump in.]
Leslie: Haha, totally, I'm in on the joke. I get it. But maybe we should stop talking about your insane dog choices and get to work.
Donna: Classic border collie - has to control everything.

[That's it!]

S6 E9: Second Chunce

Score: 3 / 3

Ingrid: Leslie?

~12:53 at Donna's desk

April: Hey, okay, are you still mad at me because of the poodle thing? It's just a dumb game, I could pick another dog.
Donna: I'm not mad about the choice, I'm mad about the reason. "Pretty, make-up"... is that all you know about me?
April: We don't hang out much. It's not like you know a ton about me.
Donna: You're beautiful, yet cold and aloof; you pride yourself on being a loner; you do not "obey", you choose to cooperate; when you stop baring your fangs to pick a mate, you choose for life; and you're fiercely loyal to your pack. Which makes you a rare black Siberian Husky.

More:
- April asks Donna many questions in order to get to figure out her spirit dog; then proposes the Nova Scotia Toller, then a cat.

Joan: Yes, you are! Can I just say, as a journalist, I feel like we're best friends!
[they laugh]
Joan: Tell the audience about yourself!
Annabel: Well, I'm just a simple former phonebook model who found her calling! Y'know I'm not perfect: the average woman worries about what she looks like in a bathing suit - so does my nanny. So, I get it.
Joan: Annabel, what trends are - pardon the pun, but - trending?

[They go on to talk about trends.]

More:
- Ann pulls Leslie away from getting a tattoo, though their conversation includes some interruptions from Ben; she forces Leslie to confront her defeat and urges her to focus on her active projects.

S6 E5: Filibuster

Score: 2 / 3

~20:29 in the hallway outside the court room; Ben has just told Leslie that Ingrid earned the nomination to run against Leslie in the recall.

Leslie: Wow. Buzzkill.
Ingrid: I know you must hate me right now, Leslie - and that's justified - but I need to thank you for what you just did in there. Not the forceful urination, but the filibuster.
Leslie: Right, yeah.
Ingrid: It was incredibly courageous and it was selfless, and if I do win, I'm gonna have very big roller skates to fill. Can I take you out for a celebratory plate of - you call them "whaffles"?

[This goes on, briefly.]

- Ann and Nadia spend the episode with Tom and only talk to each other about him.
- April spends the episode with Andy.

S6 E4: Gin It Up!

Score: 3 / 3
~0:45 in the conference room.

Leslie: We all know that I cannot spend as much money on ads as my opponent, but I printed out 10,000 "don't" stickers and 10,000 question-mark stickers - that way if you see a sign that says "Recall Knope", all you need to do is add the question-mark and the "don't" and suddenly it reads "Recall Knope? Don't!"
Donna: Why don't you just put the "Don't" before "Recall Knope?"
Leslie: Yep, that's a much better idea.
April: Can I have these question mark stickers?

[This goes on.]

Score: 3 / 3

~4:06 at April's desk.

April: I'm sorry, was your name Jennifer?
Tynnyfer: No, it's Tynnyfer, with two Y's. It used to be Jennifer, but then I decided to re-brand myself. Oh wait, hang on - it's Xanex o'clock.
[Tynnyfer takes a Xanex out of a shiny pink bill box.]
April (now emulating Tynnyfer): Well, nice to meet you. My name's April. And I just wanted to say that your dress is so cute, it's bonks.
Tynnyfer: I saw my spinning instructor wearing it, and I was like "Shut up, where do I get that?"

[They go on to talk about spinning.]

S6 E2: The Pawnee-Eagleton Tip Off Classic

Score: 3 / 3

~0:52 at the titular Pawnee-Eagleton Tip Off Classic press conference between Leslie and Ingrid de Forest (her Pawnee counterpart).

Leslie: As always, we would like to make a friendly wager with Eagleton. If you beat us this year, we will give you a basket of apples, from our Pawnee orchard.
Ingrid: Pesticides! Yuck!
Leslie: Oh, no, these are pesticide free! I ate one of these for breakfast this morning and I found a worm in it, so-! I bet someone feels pretty stupid right now.
Ingrid: Well, Leslie, I think we had similar ideas. If you win, Eagleton will give you this basket of oranges! Of course, it's silly to compare apples and oranges, but... what the heck. These are made of Swarovksi crystal and they're worth $700,000.

More: [two plotlines consist largely of conversations between Ann/April and Leslie/Ingrid about Bloomington and Eagleton's financial crisis, respectively; I've broken them down here and separated them with my favorite punctuation mark, the semicolon ;)

- April bemoans several circumstances around Ann driving her to Bloomington School of Veterinary Medicine; Ann leaves April with a tour guide (named Laura); Ann is frustrated to see April ditching the tour; later Ann brings April back to Laura; Ann and April debate the merits of Bloomington; Ann scolds April for allegedly giving up and they discuss following one's gut.

- Leslie relentlessly mocks Ingrid for Eagleton's financial crisis; Leslie insults Ingrid's intelligence directly; Leslie ironically welcomes Ingrid to Pawnee.

S6 E1: London: Parts 1 & 2

Score: like 5 out of 3

~7:38 in Leslie's office.

April: I have something. Remember phase 13: "Think outside of the box"?
Leslie: Of course! It was an amazing phase.
[Ben: Easily a top 5 phase.]
April: Well I thought outside of the box and I nominated you for this big award; it's called the "International Coalition of Women in Government", and you won.
[She hands over the paper work.]
April: There's, like, five winners and you get a big trophy or something.
[Chris: Oh my God, this is real! I just assumed you were lying.]
April: [Thank you.] But yeah, it's real. Anne Richards won it once. And Janet Napolitano, I think.
Leslie: Janet Napoli-frikkin-tano!? Oh my God. This is amazing and perfect! This is exactly the kind of big splashy thing that's gonna get the voters' attention! When is the ceremony?

[They go on. I'm content to ignore Ben and Chris' interjections because they don't de-rail the fact that this conversation is between April and Leslie about the award.]

April: Easy! Most murders per capita, the guillotine was invented here, City Hall is run by the walrus mafia...
Leslie: Donna! Help me out. What makes Pawnee so great?
Donna: Cost of living is cheap. In about three years I will have saved enough to pay off my condo in Seattle.

More:

S5 E18: Animal Control

Score: 3 / 3
~13:05 in the Parks and Rec office.

More:
- Leslie and April strategize about the confirmation hearings.

Ann: I gathered up all the meaningful bills, pictures, documents and memos from your career. What do you think? Is it okay?
Leslie: It is the most beautiful object I have ever seen. It is like the Ann Perkins of dresses.
Ann: Yayyy!
Leslie: It is amazing.

More:
- There are tons of exchanges (April asking to adopt Ethel, Leslie assigning wedding planning tasks to April and Ann, etc.) that would pass if this episode didn't fly by so quickly - very few exchanges are actually more than three lines of dialogue.

S5 E13: Emergency Response

Score: 2 / 3

~14:43 in the court room (being used for the Emergency Preparedness Drill)

Ann: Enough for 2,000 people.
Leslie: Great, why don't you tell the hospital director to flush them down the toilet.
Ann: You got it.

[Oddly, that's it. Leslie and Ann talk mostly about Jeremy Jamm, April spends the episode with Andy, Donna with Ben, Joan with Ron. But maybe we could construe that Leslie's fictional news reports are conversations among women about the flu.]

[I have no idea what this .gif is from but I'm determined to find out.]

S5 E12: Ann's Decision

Score: 3 / 3

~1:08 in Leslie's office.

[They discuss Ann's plan to become a mother which, incidentally, is more about her interest in motherhood than in finding a partner.]

Leslie: Oh, we do. You were such an inspiration! Still going strong at 82!

~8:45 @ Jerry's house.

Ann: Well, well, well. You want to come into Jerry's party - and why's that?
April: I need a place to deliver this baby, Ann! It's coming out of me right now, I'm pregnant!
[April breathes frantically.]
Ann: This is a lovely party thrown by a lovely man and his lovely family. There's no place for meanies!
April: Oh, forget it, I'm coming in.

[This continues with April failing to shove past Ann.]

More(ish):
- Leslie asks Diane what house she would be sorted into at Hogwarts, but the exchange doesn't go long enough.
- Leslie tells Tammy 2 to leave - the conversation immediately turns to Ron.
- Leslie and Tammy 2 fight over the keys in the dumpster - plenty of exchanges there.

* I give this episode a 2 because the conversation I transposed is about a party but ultimately about how April et al treat Jerry, because Leslie and Tammy 2's interactions boil down to being about Ron, and because Leslie and Diane's conversation is too brief. Every woman here is motivated by her complicated or misunderstood feelings towards men.

S5 E8: Pawnee Commons

Score: 0 / 3

S5 E7: Leslie vs. April

Score: 3 / 3

~3:30 in the conference room; April is practicing a presentation.

April: Washington, DC has more dog parks per capita than most cities. Pawnee only has two dog parks: this one, and that one - which is also an active parking lot.
Leslie: Can you say "per capita" again? I wanna take another picture of you saying "per capita".
April: Stop!
Leslie: I am so proud of you. Now stand next to the screen and think of all the strong female role models in your life.

More:

- Leslie and April spar about the rights to lot 48.

Ann: Everything okay?
Leslie: Nah, slight speed bump: everything is terrible, but, um, I'm going to fix it - with my secret weapon!

Leslie: Oh, Ann, you are such a good friend. You're a beautiful, talented, brilliant, powerful musk-ox. Thank you, ox, for keeping this ship afloat.

Score: 3 / 3

Ann: Well, you're on city council now! Change the law!
Leslie: The people support this; I couldn't fight those numbers even if I wanted to! It's political suicide.
Ann: So we're just gonna do the thing we know doesn't work? Great plan.
Leslie: There's no other option, Ann, put away your sex toys and play with them on your own time!

More:
