[Instead of her usual office wear, Leslie is dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. There is a duffle bag at her side and a hard hat on her desk. There’s a determined look on her face – one that any of her friends at home might recognize, but one that is new to these people. She came here to do a job, and now’s the time to do it.]

Hello everyone. This is Leslie Knope: chairwoman of the newly formed “Habitable Gotham” committee. All of our goals are right there in the name. If this city is ever going to be a place that people live in again, they all need to be encouraged to treat it as such.

With that in mind, our goal for the next two days is simple. We are going to rebuild a park. Seeking any and all volunteers, now.

Can I count on your support?

[Leslie is clearly grateful for the offer -- she's willing to risk a lot to do the right thing, but she'd rather not see the volunteers...you know. Murdered. Still, there's the practical question:]

Thank you -- but I don't entirely understand how that's possible?

Good. Better that you don't.

[Is this a mob thing? An Al Capone and the public school system of Chicago situation? Is Leslie’s park situation the modern day equivalent of unpasteurized milk?]

Well – thank you. We appreciate all the help we can get.
