"Pawnee Commons." Parks and Recreation, written by Greg Daniels and Michael Schur and Alexandra Rushfield, directed by Morgan Sackett, season 5, episode 8, Deedle-Dee Productions and Fremulon, 2012.

Five dull hours in another man's house, with nothing to say or to hear that was not said and heard yesterday, and may not be said and heard again to-morrow... Four horses and four servants taken out for nothing but to convey five idle, shivering creatures into colder rooms and worse company than they might have had at home.
