Jerry

There is a great dinosaur-themed restaurant in Patterson. It is called Jurassic Fork. I have gone there three times a week for the last 15 years.

Jerry

When Leslie called to see if I could help, Gayle and I were getting on a cruise ship to the Bahamas. I said Gayle, put that Bikini away. Because Pawnee needs me.

Scenes with Jerry 28

Jerry

Hey, Mark, um, a little birdie told me that you have one unpaid parking ticket.

That's funny, because a little birdie told me that your adoptive mother was arrested for marijuana possession.

Oh snap!

Jerry

What?

You didn't know that, huh?

Jerry

...I didn't know I was adopted...

Jerry

For my murinal, I was inspired by the death of my grandma—

You said "murinal!"

[Everyone laughs]

Jerry

No, I didn't.

Yes, you did. You said "murinal." I heard it.

Jerry

Anyway, she—

Jerry, why don't you put that murinal in the men's room so people can murinate all over it?

Jerry, go to the doctor. You might have a murinary tract infection.

[Jerry takes down his mural and walks away defeated]

Jerry

...Just wanted to show you my art...

EEveryone

Murinal! Murinal! Murinal!

Disqualified!

[cut to Jerry being interviewed]

Jerry

It's Pointillism. And each dot is a photo of the citizen of the town—

[from other room] No one cares! At all!

Now every year before we go on our first hunt we do a toast so grab a beer. [everyone opens a beer] To the hunt.

MJMark & Jerry

Here here!

And to the hunters! The only way to defeat the beast, is to find the beast within.

[everyone except Ron cheers]

Ron your toast sucked.

Okay I think it's a little weird that nobody wants to admit they shot Ron in the head.

Maybe Ron shot himself.

Hmmm he has seemed really depressed lately.

He was shot in the back of the head!

You're right he loves the back of his head, he would never shoot himself there!

It could've been someone else that shot Ron. Someone not in our group.

Jerry

You think someone is hunting us?

Man is the most dangerous game.

For the Predator!

I did smell something out there and it wasn't human.

That was pine trees.

The predator can see heat.

We should cover ourselves in mud. It could still be out there.

It's not just a job, gang. We're gonna learn a lot from these seniors. Some of them have been married for half a century. And, no offense, but everybody here is terrible at love. [points to Tom] Divorced, [points to April] dating a gay guy, [points to Ron] divorced twice, [points to Ann and Mark] jury's still out on you two, [points to Jerry] and Jerry, who knows.

Jerry

I've been happily married for 28 years. You've met my wife Gayle many times.

Whatever.

Why didn’t you just tell everybody the truth?

Jerry

Are you kidding me? Imagine what Tom would have said.

[cut to Leslie impersonating Tom]

Damn, Jerry! You jumped in a creek for a burrito? What’d you do for a Klondike bar? Kill your wife?

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.

Jerry

[walking in] Ron, do you need help with anything?

No, we're good, thanks. In fact, you can head home early.

Leslie! Go home. You're sick.

I'm not sick. It's just allergies. Come on guys just let me in there!

Jerry

No you can't come in here. Leslie you look tired and you're all sweaty.

You look tired and you're all sweaty all the time! What's your excuse?! You wanna go there Jerry!?

Jerry

...No.

Tammy and I are in love and we're gonna start a family together. In fact, she's ovulating so if you'll excuse us, we're heading off on our honeymoon.

Jerry

Wow! Where ya going?

Jerry!

We're gonna spend 11 days in my cabin in the woods.

We bought 10 cases of Gatorade and a 40 pound bag of peanuts for energy.

Oh God!

I am so proud of all of you! You've worked so hard, you're amazing! So I have a surprise. And it is possibly the best thing to potentially ever happen to anyone anywhere in the history of the universe. Ladies and gentlemen, the world famous Li'l Sebastian!

[Everyone freaks out with excitement]

Well done Leslie! Well done!

[Cut to leslie being interviewed]

Li'l Sebastian made his debut at the last Harvest Festival in 1987 and he was an instant phenomenon. For the next few years, Sebastian was the number one boys name in Pawnee...and the number three girl's name!

[Cut back to the office]

So what am I missing? What's the deal with this pony?

He's not a pony Ben! He's a mini horse, there's a big difference.

Well then why is he so famous? Does he do something? What does he do?

Son, this horse has an honorary degree from Notre Dame.

We all need to be very careful. Okay remember, this little guy is 25 now. And he has cataracts in both eyes. He has severe arthritis. Jerry's going to look after him.

Jerry

Yes I am. We are on the same diabetes medication. Are you my Glucotrol buddy!? Are you!?

Isn't it amazing!

Yeah I just gotta be honest. I don't know what the big deal is.

EEveryone

...

Get out!

Jerry

[referring to Li'l Sebastian] If they've been missing this long, they're probably dead.

Well, if he is, you'll be answering to the whole town. And God.

Jerry

For the last time--

Jerry, shut up. I can't hear myself not talking to Andy.

Ron, can you tell me why April is mad at me?

Ron, can you tell Andy--

Andy, she's mad at you because you said 'awesomesauce' instead of 'I love you too.' April, he loves you, stop being a child. Tom, everyone knows you're at fault; blaming Jerry won't save you. Jerry, I know for a fact that you were sucking down funnel cakes when you were supposed to be watching Li'l Sebastian. Now will everyone please apologize to everyone?

[to April] I do love you, you know.

You do?

Yeah. That's what makes the sauce so awesome.

I humbly place before you my East meets West, patented Traeger Turkey Burger. An Asian fusion burger made with Willow Farms organic turkey, toasted taleggio cheese crisp, papaya chutney, black truffle aoli and microgreens on a gluten free brioche bun. Enjoy!

This tastes as delicious as Beyonce smells...I'm guessing.

What is this in here? Saffron?

Wow! Somebody's got a sharp palette!

KKyle

I love the umami flavor.

Jerry

Stop being so pretentious Kyle!

KKyle

Sorry.

Here's mine. It's a hamburger, made out of meat, on a bun, with nothing. Add ketchup if you want, I couldn't care less.

Ron, I am so disappointed. I thought that you and I were gonna have a real challenge.

Never mind this is better!

Way better!

Jerry

Mmmmm Mmmhmm!

...Kyle?

KKyle

...Sorry Andy, Ron's is better.

Damn it Kyle! [takes a bite of Ron's burger] Oh my God this is so much better it's crazy!

Turkey can never beat cow Chris. Sorry.

I don't understand. I've tinkered with this recipe for years. Granted it's been along time since I've had a hamburger. [takes a bite of one of Ron's burgers] ...This is better. The commisary will continue to serve horrifying, artery clogging hamburgers.

EEveryone

Yay!
