Ron Swanson and Leslie Knope began a conversation, about conversations.

Leslie Knope:

“Ron, what are you doing here?”

Ron Swanson:

“The most important government work, I’ve ever done, sanding rat urine stains out of this floor. What are you doing here?”

Leslie Knope:

“I come here to think sometimes by myself, but now that you’re here…”

Ron Swanson:

“Damn it!”

Leslie Knope:

“I am going to speak to you very vaguely about a problem I have and you cannot ask me any questions or details about it.”

Ron Swanson:

“That is my ideal conversation, aside of no conversation, but that feels unlikely.”
