Have you ever cheated on your taxes?	No, no, no, never	Good, you're doing great
How many sexual partners have you had in the last year?	Are they going to ask that?	This is a deposition-style hearing, Ms. Knope. Nothing is off limits; you have to answer.

Have you ever thought about Ron sexually?	What!?	(repeats and expands question)
Including dreams, have you ever had a sexual dream about our boss Ron Swanson?	No, absolutely not. No.	Yes.
Now, in this recurring dream about Ron, is he like a regular Ron, or is he half-Ron, half animal? Like a centaur.	What.	(expands question)
Is he wearing a football uniform? Are you making love to him on a couch shaped like his mustache? Is he covered in Powerade?	Okay, timeout, timeout.	This committee doesn't take timeouts, Ms. Knope. Now answer the question.

• This is not Communist China
• You cannot make her whip herself
• You cannot make her wear a hair-shirt

Ron's idea of a perfect government

• One guy who sits in a small room at a desk
• The only thing he's allowed to decide is who to nuke
• The man is chosen based on some kind of IQ test
• A physical tournament, like a decathlon
• Women are brought to him

Deleted scenes

• Leslie drives over to Norton Construction with an identical gift basket and leaves it at reception, to the receptionist's confusion. While Leslie talks to the camera about ethical restitution, the receptionist can be seen putting the wine from the basket in her bag.
• At city hall, Tom comes to the display case with the fox and the racoon, removes the fox and puts the gift basket in its place with a plaque saying "Leslie Knope, Ethics Violation. April 2009. For Shame".
• Leslie talks about social networks and calls April part of the "computer generation", which April insists doesn't exist.
• After watching April's video of her drinking wine, Leslie takes her outside and explains the trouble they're in. April says she drank the wine because she wanted to be like Leslie, which makes Leslie afraid she introduced April to alcohol. In a talking head April reveals she's used fake IDs since she was 14 and has three of them in different States.
• At the disciplinary hearing, a nervous Leslie takes her time dinking a tall glass of water.
• After the hearing, Leslie asks Ron if April is in any trouble. Ron tells her that April's uncle is a powerful businessman who knows the city manager personally, so she is safe.
