"Leslie and Ron" is the fourth episode of the American comedy television series ''Parks and Recreation'' ==Plot== Ben (Adam Scott) tricks Leslie (Amy Poehler) and Ron (Nick Offerman) into meeting him in the Parks and Recreation office to sign a document. April, Andy, Tom, Donna, and Jerry are also there, supporting Ben's plan for Leslie and Ron to forget their differences. Ben explains that once Leslie and Ron figure things out, they can call him through a Baby monitor placed in the office. Otherwise, they would have to wait there until 8 am. of the next day (without phones, an internet connection, or security), for the doors to automatically open. 10:04 pm Leslie suggests that they call Ben with the baby monitor and pretend to have reconciled, but they can't come to an agreement about what to tell Ben. She ultimately breaks the baby monitor, effectively locking them in the office until 8. 10:36 pm Leslie thinks that they should use their time wisely and talk about their feelings, while Ron is adamant against doing so. Leslie uses several annoyance tactics on Ron to get him to talk: dripping water on his face, covering him in post-its, etc. Finally, she finds one method that works: playing Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire and signing made-up lyrics over the track. In exchange for turning off the song, Ron agrees to speak for 3 minutes. 11:01 pm Leslie draws up a timeline of important moments from their relationship, and goes over each item with Ron. The timeline starts with Leslie leaving the Parks department for her National Park Service job. The next item on the timeline is Leslie hiring April, three months later. This is followed by Ron visiting Leslie, another three months later, at her office. Just one week later, Leslie had found out that Ron had quit his job at the Parks department and started up his own company. Two months later, Ron's company had announced its plans to build a tall apartment complex next to Leslie's first park, and tear down Ann (Rashida Jones)'s old house in the process. Wrapping up her summary of their relationship, Leslie announces that this was the start of their rivalry. Ron replies with a cryptic "that's not the whole story," leaving Leslie bewildered and desperate to find out the truth. However, Leslie's three minutes of allotted talking time ends here, and Ron locks himself in his office. 1:57 am Ron walks into the conference room to find that Leslie is neck deep in her search to figure out the true reason for their fallout. Leslie is convinced that the clue to the mystery lies in her first job interview with Ron. Although they share an amicable conversation about their past, Ron is still not ready to talk, and pulls the fire alarm to avoid confrontation. However, he finds that the alarm had been disconnected from the fire station, and only has the ability to set off sprinklers—leaving them both sopping wet. 3:37 am After changing from their wet clothes, Ron and Leslie sit down, and over a bottle of wine, Ron starts to talk. He explains that as Jerry and April left to work for Leslie, and Tom and Donna left to run their own businesses, he didn't recognize anyone in the Parks department anymore. This hit him harder than he thought, and so despite his deep hatred for government and socialism, Ron made a conscious decision to ask Leslie for a job under the federal government. He had gone to visit her at her office and they had made plans to have lunch the next day, where he would have asked her for that job. However, Leslie's busy schedule caused her to forget their plans, and she had stood him up for lunch. Leslie is horrified to find out about this, and apologizes to Ron. Ron reassures her that it wasn't entirely her fault, and tells her he regrets being petty and bitter about it afterwards. They make up. 8:00 am Ben, Tom, April, Andy, Jerry, Donna, and Craig return to the office to find drunk Leslie and Ron dancing and playing the saxophone to "We Didn't Start the Fire," with the office furniture rearranged to the way it used to be five years ago. Later, Ron offers Leslie a peace offering, a photo of the two of them encased in a frame made of wood from Ann's house, and they leave to have lunch together. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leslie and Ron」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
