S1 E15Unfinished Business

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.

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!

KHKen Hotate

There are two things I know about white people. They love Rachael Ray. And they are terrified of curses.

Hey what ever happened to you and the bionic man?

Chris? He broke up with me but he did it so nicely that I didn't even realize he did it.

I've done that to multiple men. How are you doing? Are you doing okay?

Thank you so much for asking! It's been tough. Yeah. Two days ago I was sobbing at a pizza buffet and they asked me to leave. Been looking at some dog adoption websites. Bought $700 worth of candles from Anthropologie. Did this [shows her dyed red streak] to my hair. You know, your basic bottoming out kind of stuff.

Yeah...Normally people tell you to talk about your problems. I'm going to recommend you bottle that noise up.

...That's what my mailman said.

BDBeefy Dude

I don't know what's sicker, me or your body.

You're not sick.

BDBeefy Dude

Maybe you should check out my abs.

Are you experiencing abdominal pain?

BDBeefy Dude

Every day at the gym [shows off abs] Feel.

Eww. [feels his abs and is impressed] Oh.

BDBeefy Dude

What are you doing tonight?

I think I'm gonna have to pass.

BDBeefy Dude

Your loss.

[Ann walks over by Donna]

Are you gonna hit that?

Him? He isn't exactly boyfriend material.

Who said anything about a boyfriend? Use him. Abuse him. Lose him.

[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.

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.

BDBeefy Dude

It's been really awesome talking to you. Most carnival nurses are total grenades.

Okay, you're all set. You are free to go...or you could stay here and make out with me until the lights come back on.

BDBeefy Dude

Hell yeah!

Beat it Donna.

[Donna smiles and walks out]

I just want to get the work over as soon as possible so I can do some fishing. Fishing relaxes me. It's like yoga except I still get to kill something.

I'm so desperate I even brought in my dream journal hoping it would inspire me.

[reading an entry] "I married ALF and we're pretty happy." That sounds nice.

It was.

Hey gang!

Hey, what did you bring?

I was in charge of the cake. To be fair, it's not a cake so much as it is a vegetable loaf. You got your mushrooms, your alfalfa sprouts, your spinach and I had it sweetened with fruit reduction.

But did they ask you to bring a vegetable loaf or a cake?

No, a cake, but this is so much healthier.

So not only does this thing exist, but now you have deprived everyone of cake!

Take a walk, Ron.

Attention, everybody! Madams and...mis...wahs? If you would do me the obligation of having your honor, heretofore, in the room doth right over there, uh, hence.

What?

Big event, in that room, fifteen minutes.

[Ann sees Donna at the same dating event she's at]

Donna! Oh my God, I am so excited to see you here! These things are horrible when you're by yourself. [Donna tries to ignore her] ...What?

Do you know where you are right now? We're in the jungle. There are no friends here! It's every woman for herself.

...You're joking right?

Do I look like I'm joking? Dating is a zero sum game. If you get a man, I don't get that man.

I'm here because of advice that you gave me to be more adventurous in my life.

Here's some more advice. Beat it!

Who's to say what works. You know, you find somebody you like and you roll the dice. It's all anybody can do.

Hi, I'm Ann.

RRyan

Ryan.

What's your occupation?

RRyan

I'm a manager at a sporting goods store.

No way me too!

RRyan

Seriously!? Which one?

No, I'm not. I was just ribbing you.

RRyan

...What are you drinking?

Hahahaha yeah...

RRyan

What?

Oh I don't know. I couldn't hear you.

RRyan

So you just laughed and said "yeah?"

Yeah...

[Donna cuts in]

Excuse us... [To Ann] That was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. Did you grow up in the woods? Are you Nell? From the movie Nell?

I told you, I'm Rusty!

I gotta nail the speech, so I brought in an expert: Jean-Ralphio.

Can I throw something on you, see if it feels good?

Sure.

OK, this is what I would do: I would start with a joke. Joke. Vince Vaughn quote, obviously.

Swingers or Crashers?

Fred Claus. Talk about Andy's ex-girlfriends, quote from Love Actually, hold back your tears, pause...drop the microphone, get out of that bitch.
