Dave:I like Miss Knope. I gotta say when I first met her, I didn't care much for her, because, like 99% of the people in any given day of my life, she was very belligerent and disagreeable. Miss Knope was attractive to me as a man. I was attracted to her in her demeanor. I was attracted to her in a sexual manner that was appropriate. I don't want to talk about this anymore.
Dave:The original title of this was 'a lively fisting'. But they had to change it. For obvious reasons.

Ben · Dave:What are you doing? I'm doing that. Are you serious? You brought it on yourself.
