| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | [groans] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | You said it, Big Mac. This is taking forever! I know it's wrong to cut corners when it comes to gifts from the heart, but this is an emergency, right? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Eeyup. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Discord? A little help? Discord! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | [sighs] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | [whispering] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Yeah? Oh! Good idea! [clears throat] Captain Wuzz! Are you prepared to enter the world of Ogres & Oubliettes ? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Huzzah, fellow adventurers! Shall we storm the ramparts of Squizard's castle to reclaim Calico's Ring of Imperceptibility? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | You did summon me for a rousing Guys' Night of Ogres & Oubliettes , did you not? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Uh, sort of. But do you think you could magically hurry up this pie real quick first? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | You seem to be mixing up [poof!] the Lord of Chaos [poof!] with a second-rate clown magician for hire. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Eee... wait! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | This needs to go in the mail today, or it'll never get to Sugar Belle in time for Hearts and Hooves Day! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | [embarrassed giggling] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Please. Can't you see that that holiday is a commercialized ruse pushed on you by the greeting card industry? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | [clears throat irritably] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Fine. You owe me for this. [snaps fingers] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Keep your eye on the pie. [à la Doug Henning] It's magic time! |
| The Break Up Break Down | [: | eme song ] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | [sniffing] This smells... uh... palatable. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Well, pies really are Sugar Belle's thing. But I think that makes this all the more special. It shows you're interested in what she cares about. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Eeyup! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | And he's planning a big romantic Hearts and Hooves dinner. It was my idea to bake the invitation inside. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | [snaps fingers] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | [reading] "Happy Hearts and Hooves Day, Sugar Belle. Meet me in my barn at sunset for a surprise." |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Pretty clever, huh? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Eeyup. [chuckling] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Ugh. [snaps fingers] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Awww. "Sugar Belle". See? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Well, you two certainly have bought into this romance nonsense hook, line, and sinker. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | For a formerly friendless immortal despot, you're pretty cynical. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | I'm a realist. And love, like all things warm and fuzzy, isn't real. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Aw, come on. You act tough, but deep down, you're a softie. I mean, you don't have tea with Fluttershy every weekend because you like tea. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | But I do like tea! Every tea! All the teas! Chamomile, Earl Grey, green, white, yellow, mate, lemon, ginger, chai, spearmint, peppermint, hibiscus... [inhale] ...cinnamon, pumpkin spice. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | [groans] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Tell you what. While Big Mac mails his incredibly romantic gesture, I'll show you the splendors of Hearts and Hooves Day in Ponyville. I bet I can prove you believe in love. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Fine. Call it a gentleman's wager. Loser mows my lawn for eternity. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Is it, like, a riding mower or...? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Tweezers! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | [gulps] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Apple Bloom: | Hear ye, hear ye! This special Hearts and Hooves Day meetin' of the Cutie Mark Crusaders is now in session! First order of business – helpin' my big brother decorate the barn for his big date with Sugar Belle tonight, and... Hello? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sweetie Belle: | It seems like everypony's got somepony special but us. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Scootaloo: | When's it gonna be our turn? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sweetie Belle: | nd Scootaloo : Huh? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Apple Bloom: | Huh? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Scootaloo: | [gasps] Who's it from? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Apple Bloom: | Can't tell. It's all smudged, but it looks like it's addressed to... "Belle"? Hmmm... |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sweetie Belle: | [gasps] "Sweetie Belle"! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sweetie Belle: | Somepony certainly went through a lot of trouble for me! On Hearts and Hooves Day! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Scootaloo: | [gasps] You don't think... |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sweetie Belle: | Could it be...? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Apple Bloom: | Hang on a minute. Mysterious package, smudged address, no idea who it's from... Hm. I know what this is. You've got a secret admirer! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Cutie Mark Crusaders: | [cheering and laughing] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | [sighs] Another Hearts and Hooves Day. Love is in the air, Discord. Look at all these happy couples. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | How can they be happy if they aren't playing Ogres & Oubliettes ? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | As a great dragon poet once wrote to his beloved, "I love you with the utmost clarity. I love you, dear. My sweet, sweet Rarity—" Are you even listening?! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Of course. "Love is... something-something, and Discord is great." I don't know. Can we play O&O now? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Sure, after you admit you believe in love and... Sugar Belle! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Big Mac's girlfriend. What's she doing in town so early? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Mrs. Cake: | Well, Sugar Belle, I'm sure Big Mac won't be expecting it. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | [gasps] She's planning her own romantic surprise for Big Mac? What if she goes to Sweet Apple Acres before Big Mac's ready with his surprise? We've gotta warn him! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | [scoffs, snaps fingers] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | [singing] ...ffle, cookin' a souffle... |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Aah! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Whoa! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | [slurring] Mig Bac... Mig Bac...! [groans] I mean, Big Mac! We just saw Sugar Belle! She's at Sugarcube Corner! But I think she's on her way over here now! You gotta keep her away from here until the barn's finished! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | [gasps] Eeyup! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | I wonder what she has planned for him. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | [chuckles] We don't have to wonder. [snaps fingers] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Aah! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Ugh! Will you warn me next time you do that? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Mrs. Cake: | Just be honest with him. I'm sure Big Mac will... [continues indistinctly] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Ohhhh. She hasn't seen him yet. Take note, Discord. This is what love is all about. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | "Spike – Love is about spying in the bushes." |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Make fun of me all you want. But look at Big Mac's face and tell me you don't believe in love. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | [scoffs] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | I hope he'll be okay without me. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | [panicked noises] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Oh. Hey. We're just... not spying— |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Hush! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | I mean, he has been on his own before. So he'll be fine, right? [sighs] How should I tell Big Mac tonight? "You won't need to come visit me in my village anymore"? "We need to talk." |
| The Break Up Break Down | Mrs. Cake: | Just be honest with him. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | You're right. Okay! "We're finished." |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | [gasps] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | You're right. She did surprise him. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Ugh. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | [wailing loudly, gulping] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Okay. Things seem bad. Maybe they're really not. Maybe "we're finished" was about the day. Ponies say that, right? Like-like, "Hey, remember yesterday? That's finished, 'cause it's today!" |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Maybe not that. Oh, I know! Maybe Sugar Belle has a wacky cousin who's never been on his own, and she has to leave him in charge of her shop while she apprentices with Mrs. Cake, who does that, like, two days a week. N-No, no, three. That's why she won't need you to come to her village anymore, because... she'll already be here! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Nah. I don't even buy that one. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | [continues wailing, gulping] She takes pie-bakin' seriously! Why'd I even try?! I bet she thought I... I was makin' fun of her! [continues wailing] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Oh, I hate seeing you like this, Big Mac. And over a girl, no less. I'm calling an emergency Guys' Night [poof!] right now to cheer you up. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | [blows nose] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Besides, we can't have you ruining any more of my thousand-year-old monogrammed handkerchiefs. These are silk, you know. [snaps fingers] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Class is now in session. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Lesson one – nothing can break your heart if you only love yourself. You've got to show everypony that you're too cool to be bothered with so-called love. Observe. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | This is how cool guys lean against things. When you see a guy leaning against a thing looking this cool, you think, "Wow! That guy doesn't have a care in Equestria. Not a guy who leans on things that cool." |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | I don't think leaning's gonna help. Am I doing it right? Whoa! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | [sighs] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | We're not like you, Discord. We can't put on a front and pretend not to love. It's impossible. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Lesson two – plenty of ponies in the pasture. Right, Big Mac? I know just the gal to make you forget all about Sugar Belle. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | You... said... her... [wailing] naaaaaaame! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Oy vey... [snaps fingers] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Apple Bloom: | Okay. We finished decoratin' the barn for Big Mac, which means we got the rest of the day to ourselves. There's a whole town of possible admirers out there and only three of us. But together, we're gonna get to the bottom of this! Ready? Break! Excuse me! Pipsqueak? Mind answerin' a few questions? No? Late for somethin'? Are you Sweetie Belle's secret admirer?! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Scootaloo: | [to Button Mash] Excuse me! I'm doing a research survey about sending pie in the mail anonymously. Would you say you're pro-that or anti-that? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sweetie Belle: | [to Snips and Snails] Happy Hearts and Hooves Day! Did you boys happen to send any packages to me recently? It's okay to say no! I won't be offended! [whispering] Please say no, please say no, please say no. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | [snaps fingers] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Sir McBigguns, meet Skellinore. She's a Level 18 Bone Warrior in Squizard's mage army, but only to pay off skeleton student loan debts. Get to know each other, why don't you? [snaps fingers] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Wow. You're really going all out to cheer up Big Mac. I'm impressed. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Yes, yes, I'm amazing. Anyway, since we're in the neighborhood, care for a quick game of Ogres & Oubliettes ? Like I've been wanting to play all week?! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | I take it back. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | I'm helping our friend first and foremost. See for yourself. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | I think he's showing her a picture of Sugar Belle. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | What? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | And now he's crying. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no. No, he's not. Let me see that. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Don't touch it! I'm looking! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Give me that! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Cut it out! Discord, quit it! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | She used to do this thing where her-her nose would wrinkle when she laughed. Right there, in that hole where your nose used to be. I never told her how much I loved wrinkle-nose cutie-face... [wailing] and now I never will! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Ugh. [snaps fingers] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | [crying] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Okay. I think we've had enough of the aloof master of chaos remedies for a broken heart. You know what I do when I have a problem too big to solve? I hide from it! When she can't find you, she'll realize how much she misses you. Plus, if she can't find you, she can't break up with you. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Eeyup. Hup! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Ha! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | [snaps fingers] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Scootaloo: | [sighs] I don't get it. We asked every stallion in Ponyville. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Apple Bloom: | [groans] There's gotta be somepony we're missin'. Somepony obvious. Somepony right in front of our noses. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sweetie Belle: | Oh, well. At least the barn's looking great for Big Mac's date. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Too bad there won't be a date. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sweetie Belle: | Sugar Belle is so lucky to have a non-secret admirer like Big Mac. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Well, she certainly doesn't seem to have appreciated it. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Apple Bloom: | I bet she's gonna take one look at this barn and say, "What did I ever do to deserve this?" |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | [whispering] Yes, what did she do to deserve this? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | She broke my heart. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Well, not yet, technically. In fact, she can't break your heart if you break hers first. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | [angrily] Eeyup! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | Thanks for the tour of Ponyville, Mrs. Cake. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Mrs. Cake: | Oh, my pleasure. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | I'm off to surprise Big Mac with the news. Imagine the look on his face when I tell him, "We need to talk." |
| The Break Up Break Down | Mrs. Cake: | Oh, dear me, no! I told you, don't say it that way or he'll think you're breaking up with him. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | Break up with him? Never! Why, without my favorite delivery pony, I couldn't imagine being happy ever again. He knows that. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Mrs. Cake: | Good! Save your mix-up for cake batter – that's what I always say! [chuckles] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | He's a good listener, that pony. I promise you, no mix-ups. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | Ah! Big Mac! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Sugar Belle... we need to talk. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | I know why you're here. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | You do? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | But I have somethin' to tell you first. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | Oh, can I go first? I'm gonna be— |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Stop. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | Oh. Why don't we tell each other on three? One— |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | It's over! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | What's over? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | You and me. It's over. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | Ah... What? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | We're breakin' up! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | I... don't understand. Why are you breaking up with me? And why are you leaning like that? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | I... don't know! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | Big Mac, please. Talk to me. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | I... You... [loud groan] This is why I don't like talkin'! Words can hurt! Words hurt! Goodbye, Sugar Belle! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | [crying] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Apple Bloom: | Big Mac! Oh, thank goodness! You gotta help us with this. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Ugh. Dude, how long have you been not hiding? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Oh. I should probably have said something. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Y'all should go. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Did ya...? Did she...? Are ya...? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Apple Bloom: | Big Mac, what's goin' on? Where's Sugar Belle? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Just go! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sweetie Belle: | But we worked so hard on this chart. I think we've almost cracked it. If you could just— |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Not right now! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sweetie Belle: | But I can't stand having a secret admirer who's too scared to tell me who he is! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Maybe he doesn't like talkin'! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sweetie Belle: | But that doesn't make any sense! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Maybe he used to talk too much, and it only ever got him into trouble! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | [sighs] What if you're right, Discord? What if love isn't real at all? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | I'm sorry, Sweetie Belle. I'm just mad, and I'm takin' it out on you. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sweetie Belle: | That's okay. I bet it felt good to get it out though. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Actually, it did. Tellin' you how I felt just then... I gotta go! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Big Mac! Where are ya goin'? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | I gotta talk to Sugar Belle! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Discord, you gotta use your magic and...! Guess you have better things to do. Big Mac's gonna need a miracle. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | [sighs] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | Oh. All the rotten luck... |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Caught ya just in time! We both know I don't like to say much, but I'm gonna say somethin' now. [sighs] Even though I'm hurtin', I wouldn't trade this feelin' for anythin'. Because it'd mean givin' up the good times we had, too. I only broke up with you because you were gonna break up with me. I respect your decision, and you should know you'll always be in my heart. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | I didn't want to break up with you. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | But... you said you didn't need me to visit anymore. You said I'm gonna be on my own. I-I heard you said "we're finished" when I was hidin' in the bushes. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | That sounds worse than it is. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | Oh, Big Mac! I was talking about my cousin! I have this wacky cousin who's never been on his own, but I have to let him run my shop on weekends. Which is why you won't be delivering to my village anymore because I'll already be here apprenticing with Mrs. Cake, who does that two days a week. No, three. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Wait 'til I tell Spike! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | I'd never break up with you! I suppose there's a lesson here somewhere about communication, talking instead of assuming, or eavesdropping is wrong. Wouldn't you say? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Eeeeyup! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | [giggles, snorts] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Hee-hee. Wrinkle-nose cutie-face. [kisses] You must've been awful confused at my breakin' up with you after you got my pie. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | What pie? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | You didn't get the pie I sent? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | Mm-mm. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Or the invitation? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | Uh-uh. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Big McIntosh: | Well, in that case... allow me to escort you to a Hearts and Hooves Day surprise! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sugar Belle: | [giggles, snorts] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sweetie Belle: | [sighs] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Apple Bloom: | Mind if we join ya? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sweetie Belle: | [chomp] [reading] "Happy Hearts and Hooves Day, Sugar Belle. Meet me—" |
| The Break Up Break Down | Cutie Mark Crusaders: | Sugar Belle?! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Scootaloo: | You have got to be pulling our hooves! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sweetie Belle: | It was all a mix-up?! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Cutie Mark Crusaders: | [laughing] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Sweetie Belle: | Oh, it's funny. I've been sitting here feeling sorry for myself for not having a special pony on Hearts and Hooves Day. But remembering all the fun we had, I think I have two special ponies – my two best friends. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Apple Bloom: | nd Scootaloo : Awwwww... |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | [sighs] And so ends another Hearts and Hooves Day. Despite a bumpy start... and middle... and ending... lot of bumps today... love was in the air. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | So was confusion, apparently, and a fair number of assumptions. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | But you have to admit, after seeing everything Big Mac went through, love is a hundred percent real. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | [humming] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Seriously?! Discord, come on! I can't believe you! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Who do you think broke Sugar Belle's wagon wheel? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Ta-da! Happy Hearts and Hooves Day! |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | You old softie. [laughs] I knew you had a heart. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Speaking of how great I am, are you busy for the rest of the night? [snaps fingers] |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Calico's Ring of Imperceptibility isn't going to reclaim itself, you know. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Ogres & Oubliettes ? I thought you'd never ask! Oh, and... just wondering. No biggie, but... is Skellinore gonna be there? |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | Spike, she's an imaginary one-dimensional paper cutout skeleton. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Spike: | Well, nopony's perfect. |
| The Break Up Break Down | Discord: | [snaps fingers] |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Order, order, everypony! I hereby call to order this meeting of the Rainbow Dash Fan Club! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | First order of business – [quickly] Let's-celebrate-the-one-and-only-Rainbow-Dash-yay-she's-amazing-now-if-there's-nothing-else-that-concludes-this-meeting-of-the-Rainbow-Dash-Fan-Club-thank-you-all-for-coming-any-questions?! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Huh? |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Meeting adjourned! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | I'd like to call to order the first ever meeting of the newest and most exciting club – of which I am the president, founding, and only member – the Washouts Fan Club! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | [gasps] |
| The Washouts | [: | eme song ] |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Oh, hey, Scootaloo. I was just in the neighbor— Oh! What's this? Did I interrupt your fan club meeting? |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Hey! What are you doin' here? |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | I could ask you the same question! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Oh, uh, y'know... mmm... s-s-stuff. Uh, definitely not starting a new fan club or anything. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Ha! It's no use pretending! I heard everything when I was outside eavesdropping, like I do for every meeting! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | You eavesdrop on every meeting? That's weird. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Well, sure it sounds weird when you say it out loud. And I probably shouldn't because eavesdropping is wrong, but still. Why are you starting a new fan club? |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | I just think maybe it's time for me to explore other fan clubs. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | [gasps] What is a "The Washouts"? |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Only the newest, and greatest, and only stunt troupe in Equestria! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Stunt troupe? |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | How can I explain it? Like the Wonderbolts, just twenty bajillion percent cooler! [squee] |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | "Twenty bajillion"?! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | They do all sorts of extreme stunts that focus on daredevilry and sheer guts rather than boring old flight and formation junk. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | "Boring old flight and formation junk"?! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Are you just repeating everything I say? |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Only because my brain feels like it's strapped to one of those rockets about to explode. |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | So you do get it! Aren't they awesome?! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Can you believe she actually said that?! |
| The Washouts | Pinkie Pie: | Pfft, well, yeah! Eavesdropping on every meeting is kinda weird. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | I mean, she basically said that the Wonderbolts aren't cool! And... And it kinda sounded like she didn't think I was cool either. But, peh, we all know that's crazy! I mean, I'm definitely not worried about her looking up to somepony else. Heh. Nope. Not! At! All! |
| The Washouts | Applejack: | Well, I'd understand if you were. It'd be like if Apple Bloom started lovin' bananas more than apples. [laughs, sotto voce] Y'all tell me if that ever happens, ya hear? |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | But what could the Washouts possibly have that I don't?! |
| The Washouts | Pinkie Pie: | Why don't you find out? |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | They're doing a show in Ponyville this weekend?! |
| The Washouts | Twilight Sparkle: | Wow! They do look pretty amazing... uh, -ly un amazing. [nervous laugh] Trying so hard to look amazing is what I mean. |
| The Washouts | Pinkie Pie: | Nice save, Twilight! [squee] |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Awww. I knew we shoulda lined up last night. |
| The Washouts | Pinkie Pie: | I'm sorry for making us late. Who would've guessed Xtreme Chocolate Airshow Cupcakes would take an x-tremely long time to bake? [slurps, chomps] |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Look at this! It's a total Wonderbolts ripoff! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | What do you mean? The show hasn't even started yet. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Yeah, but look at what we're sitting on. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Hello?! The Wonderbolts have bleachers, too! We practically invented sitting on bleachers! |
| The Washouts | Rarity: | Ugh! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | And look at that! Popcorn and cotton candy?! Ripoff! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Huh? Yeeeeeeeaaaahhh! |
| The Washouts | Announcer: | This is the time! This is the place! This is the team! This is... the Washouts! |
| The Washouts | Pinkie Pie: | Mmmm! Quality confetti cannon work. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | [sighs] |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Oh, yeah! |
| The Washouts | Announcer: | Say it with me now, the Washouts' official motto... |
| The Washouts | Announcer: | nd Crowd : Leap before you look! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Woo-hoo! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Lame. |
| The Washouts | Fanpony: | Oh! |
| The Washouts | Announcer: | Remember, ponies. While they're amazingly awesome, the Washouts are highly trained professionals in protective fire-proof flight suits! Do NOT try this at home! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Whoa. Come on, come on! She's not gonna make it! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | That... was... insane! Woo-hoo! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | I told you! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | I mean... [clears throat] It was pretty cool. Who are these guys? |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | I can't just go up and talk to them. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | You can if you're with me. After all, one of the reasons there's a Rainbow Dash fan club is because I'm fearless. Observe. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Hey! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Uh, so as a fellow aerobatic professional, I really enjoyed your show. Heh. Actually, you might recognize me since I'm a... pause for dramatic effect... a Wonderbolt. |
| The Washouts | Short Fuse: | nd Rolling Thunder : [laugh] |
| The Washouts | Rolling Thunder: | [Australian accent] Ha! Join the club. |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | [excited noises] |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | O... kay... |
| The Washouts | Rolling Thunder: | No. I mean, literally. Join the club. We're called "The Washouts" because we all used to be Wonderbolts just like you. Heh. Until we "washed out". |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | No way! |
| The Washouts | Rolling Thunder: | Yep. [sighs] Name's Rolling Thunder. I got booted out of Wonderbolt Academy because of "flagrant disregard for hazardous weather". Pfft! If doing barrel rolls through nine hundred million volts of electricity in a raging thunderstorm is wrong, then I don't wanna be right. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Cool! |
| The Washouts | Rolling Thunder: | Ha. This 'ere's Short Fuse. |
| The Washouts | Short Fuse: | Ah, nice to meet you. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | What's your story? |
| The Washouts | Short Fuse: | ANGER ISSUES! GET OFF MY BACK! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Uhhh... Okay. So, who's the leader? |
| The Washouts | Rolling Thunder: | Only the most reckless ex-Wonderbolt of all time. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | [gasps] Lightning Dust! |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | Rainbow Dash! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | [snarls] |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Scootaloo. I'm Scootaloo. Hi. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Lightning Dust! I should've known you were the brains behind a crazy idea like the Washouts! Or should I say, "lack of brains"! |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | [snarls] |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | You two really know each other? Oh, my gosh! This is so cool! |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | Your "friend" got me kicked out of the Wonderbolts. |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Oh. That's, uh, less cool. |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | And it was the best thing that ever happened to me! Great to see you, wingpony! I heard you're a full-fledged Bolt now. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Yeah, well, I'm still— |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | Mad at me? Look, was it wrong of me to endanger the lives of your friends? Yeah. But, hey, now I only endanger these knuckleheads. |
| The Washouts | Rolling Thunder: | nd Short Fuse : [laugh] |
| The Washouts | Short Fuse: | [through gritted teeth] Don't call me "Knucklehead"! [laughs] |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | C'mon, you know you miss me. Me and her, we blew everypony out of the sky. |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Really? |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | Actually, yeah, really! All that wind was totally dangerous, but we had fun, right? Two fastest times on the Dizzitron! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | If I remember correctly, I had you beat by half a second. |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | Only because when I went, I cranked up the dizziness factor. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | nd Lightning Dust : [laugh] |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Well, I'm glad it all worked out. Your show was pretty dynamite. |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | [to Scootaloo] Wanna know the secret? We basically ignore everything the Wonderbolts ever taught us about safety. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Well, we do have safety rules for a reason. |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | Don't listen to her, kid. All their "rules" were just ways of keeping their little club exclusive so they could feel good about themselves. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | It's not about making anypony feel bad. It's about finding the best flyers. The best of the best. |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | I started the Washouts because I believe anypony can be the best of the best. You know, Rolling Thunder is gonna be out for a while. |
| The Washouts | Rolling Thunder: | Ah, during the finale, I caught the old hind leg in the Crushinator Jaws of Smashalot! Patent pending. |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | There's a spot on the team if you wanna join up. |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | [gasps] |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | I appreciate the offer, but I'm already a Wonderbolt. |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | I'll do it! Can I do it?! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Uh, lemme think. No! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | [scoffs] I wasn't asking you ! |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | Awww, you're cute. But technically, you haven't washed out of the Bolts, which is kinda our thing. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | And also, no! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Oh, what if I joined and dropped out super quick?! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | That's it! You're comin' with me! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Where are we going? |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | To hear what the actual Wonderbolts think about you joining just to drop out for the Washouts! |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | Say hi to Spitfire for me! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | [yawns] |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Ever seen two simultaneous inverse displacement rolls before? |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | [scoffs] Would've been a lot cooler if you had the Crushinator Jaws of Smashalot, patent pending. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | You... What?! [to Spitfire] See? This is what I was telling you about. |
| The Washouts | Spitfire: | I got this. [to Scootaloo] You know what happens when something goes wrong with the Crushinator Jaws of Smashalot? |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Patent pending? |
| The Washouts | Spitfire: | You end up in a full body wing-and-hoof cast drinkin' through a straw! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | But with enough practice— |
| The Washouts | Spitfire: | Practice?! Well, la-dee- doodle-dah! Lemme give you a different scenario. You're probably saying to yourself, "I'm young. I'm strong. I'm gonna go out there and stunt some tricks with my new friend Lightning Dust !" Well, I'm here to tell ya that if ya play that game, you're gonna find out it's pretty hard to "stunt tricks" in a full body wing-and-hoof cast drinkin' through a straw! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | I think she gets the poi— |
| The Washouts | Spitfire: | I'm not finished! Listen, I get it, kid. I used to be like you, tellin' myself, "I'm gonna touch the sky!" |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | I don't— |
| The Washouts | Spitfire: | Well, whoop-dee- doodle-doo! You think you got it made in the shade? Well, things are gonna be pretty shady indeed when you can't go out in the sun, 'cause you're in a full body wing-and-hoof cast drinkin' through a straw! Do I make myself clear?! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | [shakily] Uh-huh... |
| The Washouts | Spitfire: | Excellent. Have a hat. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Uh... Heh. Sorry that was a little... intense. I just wanna make sure you don't get hurt. That way, you can follow in my hoofsteps. Heh. Everypony's dream, right? |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | More like "follow your wingflaps". |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Same difference. |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | [sarcastically] Thanks, super-talented flyer, for clearing up what I should do. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Clearing things up is one of my specialties. Now, come on. Let's go rip up all your Washout posters into tiny pieces and throw 'em off a cliff. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | I just thought of a great way to raise awareness for your original fan club. You know, the one about me? |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | How about a silent auction where every item is just a picture of yours truly? [laughs] Nah! I'm just kidding. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | That makes me seem too egotistical, doesn't it? Oh, oh! Maybe if they're framed, it's like, "Wow, she's so humble!" Ya think? Scootaloo? |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Uh, Scootaloo? |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Anypony seen Scootalo— |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Ow! My fault, my fault! Sorry, I— Twilight? |
| The Washouts | Twilight Sparkle: | [groans] Sorry. I was just... um... |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Please tell me you got that stuff so you could rip it up and throw it off a cliff. |
| The Washouts | Twilight Sparkle: | They were doing an autograph session before practice. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Seriously?! [groans] You haven't seen Scoot, have you? |
| The Washouts | Twilight Sparkle: | Actually... |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | I can't believe Scootaloo ditched me to watch them practice! Why can't she see how dangerous they are?! |
| The Washouts | Twilight Sparkle: | That's kind of the whole draw. It's exciting. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | But it's like the harder I try to convince Scoot they're dangerous, the more she likes them! |
| The Washouts | Twilight Sparkle: | You can't control her actions. Only yours. Teach her what's safe and what isn't, like a good role model. Then hope she makes the right decisions. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | But what if she chooses them over me? She's gonna get hurt! |
| The Washouts | Twilight Sparkle: | I think I know somepony else who might get hurt if that happens. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Um, maybe you're right. But this isn't about me. I'm just worried about Scoot. |
| The Washouts | Short Fuse: | Wow. You're really workin' hard on this new stunt. [chomps, spits] What kind of sorry excuse for a tomato sandwich is this?! |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | Sorry, Dash. Autograph session's over. Unless you wanna buy Short Fuse's limited edition half-eaten tomato sandwich. |
| The Washouts | Short Fuse: | I'm not signing that abomination! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | You haven't seen Scootaloo, have you? |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | Ohhhh, isn't she that pony that used to respect you? |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | [growls] I'd appreciate you helping me find her so I could apologize for trying to make her quit liking you. |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | [laughs] Oh, I'm pretty sure she still likes us. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | [gasps] |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Lightning Dust, I know we go way back, but I can't let her do this! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | I don't need you standing up for me! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Obviously, you do! Because you can't see how dangerous this is! Do you not remember what Spitfire said? |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | Ugh. Lemme guess. [imitating Spitfire] You'll be in a full-body wing-and-hoof cast drinkin' through a straw! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | That doesn't even sound like Spitfire. |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | [laughing] |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | That's it! We're leaving! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Just because I look up to you doesn't mean I have to be you! But based on your definition of what makes somepony great, I have bad news. I'll never be the best of the best or a Wonderbolt! Because I! Can't! Fly! Is that what you wanted to hear? But not being able to fly doesn't mean I can't do something awesome! Like strapping my scooter to a multi-stage liquid-fueled rocket and jumping twenty-two wagons lined up in front of a roaring crowd! |
| The Washouts | Twilight Sparkle: | That was awfully specific. |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | That's 'cause it's what she'll be doing in the show tonight. Half off for princesses! [whispering] Bring your friends! |
| The Washouts | Twilight Sparkle: | Scootaloo, are you sure that's what you really wanna do? |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Absolutely. [to Rainbow] And there's nothing you can do to stop me! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | You're right. You're your own foal, and you have to make your own decisions. |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Good! Because I already have! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | [sighs] |
| The Washouts | Pinkie Pie: | Sorry for making us late again. Who would've guessed Scootaloo's super-difficult stunt special cupcakes would've been super-difficult to bake? [chomps] |
| The Washouts | Applejack: | Hoo-wee! Looks like all of Ponyville is here. Except for Rainbow Dash. |
| The Washouts | Twilight Sparkle: | [sighs] |
| The Washouts | Announcer: | And here to introduce the most dangerous stunt we've ever performed, it's your fearless captain, L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-Lightning Dust! |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | In just a moment, the newest member of the Washouts will be rocket-sledding down that hill, up that ramp, and over all twenty-two wagons to land on the other side in one piece! Heh. If she's lucky. |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | Put your hooves together for Half-Pint Dynamite! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Lightning Dust, I have to tell you. I actually started Equestria's first Washouts fan club! As far as I know. So this is a real honor, ma'am! Uh, do I call you "ma'am"? |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | You land this jump, you can call me whatever you want. |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Wow. That sure is... |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | Dangerous? Nah! Well, maybe a little. |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Has anypony tested it before? |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | Where's the fun in that? |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | [gulps] |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | There's m-more?! |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | You're not thinking of backing out, are you? |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | No! I'm just thinking about drinking through straws. |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | Are you the president of my fan club or not? |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Of course! It's just— |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | You wouldn't wanna get impeached for dishonoring my wishes, would you? |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | I... Is that a thing? |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | Light it up! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | Okay. Now I am thinking about backing out. |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | Too late! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | [whimpering] |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | I know I was supposed to let you make your own decisions, but that doesn't mean I can't swoop in and save you from time to time. |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | If I'd known you were gonna bail, I would've done the trick myself! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Great! So you won't mind how that rope's about to coil around your hoof. |
| The Washouts | Lightning Dust: | RIVALS FOR LIIIIIFE! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | Wouldn't have it any other way! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | I'm sorry for joining the Washouts. Lightning Dust wasn't who I thought she was. She didn't care about me being scared or putting me in danger. She only wanted a good show, even if it meant I got hurt. That's not the kind of pony I wanna look up to. |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | I'm the one who should be apologizing for not acting like somepony who deserves a fan club. I've been lucky enough to have somepony who thinks I'm the coolest. But there's nothing cool about making you feel like you'll never be as awesome as me. I think we should cancel the Washouts Fan Club. Because I know a fan club that could use some new members. |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | The Rainbow Dash Fan Club! |
| The Washouts | Rainbow Dash: | [clears throat] Welcome to the first ever meeting of the newest fan club for the awesomest, previously under-appreciated pony in Ponyville! With founding member and president Rainbow Dash presiding, it's the... Scootaloo Fan Club! |
| The Washouts | Scootaloo: | You know, Rainbow Dash was right. Eavesdropping on your own fan club isn't weird at all. |
| Yakity-Sax | Fluttershy: | Huh? [gasps] Some poor creature's in trouble! We have to help it! Oh, listen to that suffering! It must be in horrible agony! |
| Yakity-Sax | Fluttershy: | Ooh! It sounds like a herd of injured chimerae! [pants] Or it's Cerberus with snifflitis in two of its heads and kennel cough in its third. Or maybe it's— |
| Yakity-Sax | Fluttershy: | Pinkie Pie? |
| Yakity-Sax | Pinkie Pie: | Thaaaaaaaat's me! And a-one, and a-two, and a-I know what to do! [inhales deeply] |
| Yakity-Sax | Fluttershy: | Ugh. At least no animal is suffering. Right, Angel? |
| Yakity-Sax | Fluttershy: | [laughs nervously] Well, until now. |
| Yakity-Sax | [: | eme song ] |
| Yakity-Sax | Mane Six except Pinkie Pie: | [scream, groan] |
| Yakity-Sax | Applejack: | What is that thing? |
| Yakity-Sax | Twilight Sparkle: | It's called a yovidaphone. It's from Yakyakistan, where it's actually quite popular. |
| Yakity-Sax | Rainbow Dash: | Is it supposed to sound like that? |
| Yakity-Sax | Twilight Sparkle: | Not exactly. It's known to produce a fairly complicated, melodically rich, and harmonious tone. |
| Yakity-Sax | Rainbow Dash: | Are you sure we're talking about the same thing? |
| Yakity-Sax | Pinkie Pie: | [panting] Phew! And that's with only a few days of practice! Can you believe it?! |
| Yakity-Sax | Rarity: | Yes. Yes, I can. |
| Yakity-Sax | Applejack: | I can honestly say I've never heard anything like it in my life. |
| Yakity-Sax | Pinkie Pie: | Well, if you enjoyed listening to my playing half as I enjoyed playing my playing, then I should totally play more! That way, we'll be even! |
| Yakity-Sax | Twilight Sparkle: | Oh, I don't think that's necessary, Pinkie. |
| Yakity-Sax | Rest of the Mane Six: | [agreeing] |
| Yakity-Sax | Rainbow Dash: | Please. Don't. |
| Yakity-Sax | Pinkie Pie: | There's a chance I may have missed a note or two here or there, but I just love playing so much! [sighs] You complete me. |
| Yakity-Sax | Twilight Sparkle: | Well, I, for one, am glad you're having so much fun with your new hobby. |
| Yakity-Sax | Pinkie Pie: | [not listening] Uh-huh. Sure. |
| Yakity-Sax | Twilight Sparkle: | And it's great that you're learning a new skill, and... and you're just waiting for me to finish talking so you can start playing again, aren't ya? |
| Yakity-Sax | Pinkie Pie: | No! But if you're done... And a-one, and a-two, and a-I know what to do! [inhales deeply] |
| Yakity-Sax | Fluttershy: | [sighs, to Angel Bunny] It's okay. She's gone. |
| Yakity-Sax | Applejack: | Anypony else think that sounded like an apple core cut up in a pulp grinder? |
| Yakity-Sax | Rarity: | Apple-solutely! Uh, absolutely. |
| Yakity-Sax | Twilight Sparkle: | Okay, so maybe she isn't good yet. But she's our friend, and we should be supportive. |
| Yakity-Sax | Applejack: | She just started playin'. She's bound to get better. Right? |
| Yakity-Sax | Rainbow Dash: | Yeah, we just need to be supportive of her practicing... [groans] So the getting-better part happens as fast as possible. |
| Yakity-Sax | Rest of the Mane Six: | [agreeing] |
| Yakity-Sax | Rarity: | Aah! Aah! [sighs] |
| Yakity-Sax | Pinkie Pie: | [inhales deeply] |
| Yakity-Sax | Pinkie Pie: | [inhales deeply] |
| Yakity-Sax | Twilight Sparkle: | [sighs] You're absolutely right, Spike. Sometimes it is nice to get out of the library and be in the sun. |
| Yakity-Sax | Spike: | Especially when you take the library with you. |
| Yakity-Sax | Twilight Sparkle: | [chuckles] |
| Yakity-Sax | Applejack: | [burbles, sighs] We need to do somethin' about Pinkie Pie's playin'! |
| Yakity-Sax | Rainbow Dash: | Like, now! |
| Yakity-Sax | Fluttershy: | [snoring] |
| Yakity-Sax | Twilight Sparkle: | Is it really that bad? |
| Yakity-Sax | Rainbow Dash: | Does this answer your question? |
| Yakity-Sax | Twilight Sparkle: | Uh, a trophy? |
| Yakity-Sax | Rainbow Dash: | For second place. Second! Place! All because of Pinkie's playing! |
| Yakity-Sax | Rarity: | And I wanted to turn heads with my new fall line, but not like this! [sobbing] |
| Yakity-Sax | Applejack: | And thanks to her fruit-blastin' melodies, I got an orchard full of nothin' but applesauce! And it ain't even saucin' season! |
| Yakity-Sax | Rarity: | And just look what her playing did to poor Fluttershy! |
| Yakity-Sax | Fluttershy: | [snores, gasps] Oh. So very tired. [yawning] It practically took me all night to get the nursery back to sleep. [resumes snoring] |
| Yakity-Sax | Applejack: | I mean, I know we said we should all be supportive, but Pinkie's been playin' for moons now, and she's not gettin' any better. |
| Yakity-Sax | Rainbow Dash: | Yeah! If anything, she's gotten worse! |
| Yakity-Sax | Twilight Sparkle: | Okay, maybe we can just pretend she's really good, and then I'll find a spell that will— |
| Yakity-Sax | Applejack: | Oh, no, no, no! We're not goin' through that again! Remember how well it worked out when you weren't honest with Celestia about her actin' ability? |
| Yakity-Sax | Twilight Sparkle: | [groans] You're right. We'll just have to tell Pinkie Pie she's not very good at the yovidaphone. |
| Yakity-Sax | Rarity: | Well, there's no time like the present. |
| Yakity-Sax | Pinkie Pie: | Phew! Huh, that's weird. I coulda sworn this place was packed a second ago. Hey, guys! Can I favor you all with a tune? I take requests! |
| Yakity-Sax | Applejack: | Actually, we do have a request, and yeah, it involves your yovidaphone. |
| Yakity-Sax | Pinkie Pie: | You mean the thing I love more than anything else in Equestria? My sun, my moon, my stars, my everything? Ooh! Tell me, tell me, tell me! |
| Yakity-Sax | Applejack: | All right. In all honesty... Uh, in all honesty... Rarity has somethin' to say! |
| Yakity-Sax | Rarity: | Pinkie, please listen to Rainbow Dash. |
| Yakity-Sax | Rainbow Dash: | Ugh, fine! So, Pinkie, remember when we all were shocked to discover Princess Celestia wasn't so good at acting? |
| Yakity-Sax | Pinkie Pie: | Yeah, she was awful! But that's kind of a random thing to bring up. I thought you wanted to talk about my yovidaphone playing. |
| Yakity-Sax | Rainbow Dash: | Well, it's, uh... It's just... You need to know, uh... Twilight? |
| Yakity-Sax | Twilight Sparkle: | [sighs] Pinkie, we all support you, but we're afraid you're just not good at the yovidaphone, and none of us want you to waste your time on something you can't do well. |
| Yakity-Sax | Pinkie Pie: | Oh. [upbeat] Why didn't you just say so? |
| Yakity-Sax | Rainbow Dash: | [sighs] We were all really nervous to tell you. |
| Yakity-Sax | Pinkie Pie: | Why? It's just a silly instrument. Well, lunch break's over. Gotta get back to the bakery. Those apple turnovers aren't gonna apple themselves! [whistles gleefully] No more yovidaphone playing for me-e-e! |
| Yakity-Sax | Fluttershy: | Wow. She took that so much better than I thought. |
| Yakity-Sax | Pinkie Pie: | [sadly] No more yovidaphone playing for me. And a-one, and a-two, and I don't know what to do. [crying] |
| Yakity-Sax | Twilight Sparkle: | [sighs] Another beautiful day in Ponyville. |
| Yakity-Sax | Spike: | Uh, Twilight, when was the last time you saw Pinkie Pie? |
| Yakity-Sax | Twilight Sparkle: | Hmmm, not since we told her to stop playing the yovidaphone. I'm still surprised with how well she took it. |
| Yakity-Sax | Spike: | I don't think she took it as well as you think she took it. |
| Yakity-Sax | Daisy: | Top of the morning to ya! |
| Yakity-Sax | Pinkie Pie: | Is it morning? I hadn't noticed. |
| Yakity-Sax | Twilight Sparkle: | That's not good. |
| Yakity-Sax | Rainbow Dash: | There you are! We've been looking all over for you! |
| Yakity-Sax | Rarity: | It turns out Pinkie may not have taken our critique of her yovidaphone playing in the spirit with which it was intended. |
