Tara Strong: Twilight Sparkle

Quotes 

• Rainbow Dash : [Rainbow Dash has just rescued a baby pony and its carriage from running off a cliff]  Oh no! There's something wrong with the baby!

  [crowd gasps] 

  Rainbow Dash : She's not cheering for everypony's favorite hero, Rainbow Dash!

  [everypony cheers and takes pictures] 

  Scootaloo : There just aren't enough words in the dictionary to describe Rainbow Dash's awesomeness.

  Twilight Sparkle : I can think of a few new words.

  Applejack : And I bet "modest" is not one of them.

  Twilight Sparkle : No, but she is kinda awesome.

• Twilight Sparkle : Call me silly, but this whole hero thing might be going to Rainbow Dash's head.

  Pinkie Pie : You may be right, silly.

• Rainbow Dash : And then, I zoomed into the well. I knew it would be dark and dangerous, but I didn't let that stop me. Danger's my middle name. Rainbow "Danger" Dash. Thinking back on it, I acted pretty awesomely heroic that day.

  Spike : [writing everything she says]  That day.

  Applejack : Awesomely heroic that day and awesomely *arrogant* ever since.

  Pinkie Pie , Twilight Sparkle : Mm-hm.

  Rainbow Dash : Hey, Applejack. How'd you like to be *immortalized* as my friend?

  [grabs her closer in an awkward embrace] 

  Applejack : Immorta-what?

  [camera clicking] 

  Twilight Sparkle : [to Spike]  Are you taking notes?

  Spike : Yup! I've been hoof-picked by Rainbow Dash herself, to write her autobiography!

  Twilight Sparkle : Umm, autobiographies are supposed to be written *by* the pony they are about...

  Rainbow Dash : Maybe for your normal, run-of-the-mill ponies. But I'm far too busy saving lives to stop and write. That's why I hired Spike as my ghost writer.

  Pinkie Pie : [yelps]  Spike's a ghost!

  [she zips out of the room] 

• Applejack : Gotta hand it to the girl, that Mare Do Well sure can pull off some pretty heroic feats.

  Twilight Sparkle : I must say, I was impressed by that spell she used to fix the dam. Seems like something like that would take quite a bit of study.

  [Rainbow Dash growls] 

  Fluttershy : She really cares about everypony's safety.

  Rarity : Have you *seen* her costume? It is to die for! If you ask me she's a hero of fashion.

  Applejack : *And* she's modest *and* humble. She lets her actions speak for themselves. Gotta admire that.

  Rainbow Dash : I *don't* have to admire that! I don't think she's all that great!

  Spike : [writing]  She's... great.

  Rainbow Dash : I didn't say that.

  Twilight Sparkle : Sounds like somepony's jealous.

  Rainbow Dash : Who, me?

  Spike : [writing]  Rainbow Dash is jealous.

  Rainbow Dash : Don't write that, Spike!

  [others laughing] 

  Spike : Correction: Rainbow Dash is *very* jealous.

  Rainbow Dash : Fine! Laugh all you want, but I'll be the one laughing when I prove to you all that I'm just as good- no, that I'm a *better* hero than Mare Do Well!

  [angrily flies away as the others make different exasperated looks] 

• Twilight Sparkle : Celebrating your accomplishments is natural. But...

  Applejack : ...Rubbin' them in everypony's face is not.

  Pinkie Pie : Yeah, the only thing that should be rubbed in anypony's face is chocolate cake.

  [she begins licking her front hooves] 

  Applejack : I think we're getting off topic here.

  Twilight Sparkle : What we're trying to say is, it's great to be really good at something, but it's important to act with grace and humility.

  Rainbow Dash : Ohhhh. That makes *loads* more sense. Yeah. You're right. And I guess I should've also acted with grace and humility when others outshine me. Like Mare Do Well.

  Twilight Sparkle : Sounds like you've got a letter to write to Princess Celestia.

  Spike : [Approaches Rainbow Dash]  Already got it covered! As your ghost writer, I already penned a letter to the Princess!

  Rainbow Dash : That's nice of you, Spike, but, I really wanna write this letter myself.

  Spike : Awww... come on! I wrote the whole thing already!

  [opens the scroll and holds it in front of Rainbow Dash] 

  Rainbow Dash : Okay, let's hear it.

  Spike : [clears throat]  Dear Princess Cel...

  Rainbow Dash : [Suddenly points behind Spike]  Look out! It's a real ghost!

  [Spike and Pinkie Pie look the way she's pointing and scream and run away, everypony else laughs, then Twilight Sparkle levitates a scroll and quill in front of Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash grabs the quill with her mouth, then winks to the viewers before the screen draws to a close] 

• Rainbow Dash : [after chasing Mare Do Well throughout Ponyville, she soon manages to tackle her and pins her to the ground]  All right, Miss Mysterious. Mystery...

  [pulls the mask off with her mouth] 

  Rainbow Dash : solved!

  [looks to see who's under the mask and is shocked] 

  Rainbow Dash : Wha?

  [Camera cuts to reveal it's Pinkie Pie under the mask, who makes a nervous smile] 

  Rainbow Dash : P-p-p-Pinkie? Whadidya, whadida, whadda, huh?

  [a second Mare Do Well approaches and unmasks, revealing it's Twilight Sparkle] 

  Rainbow Dash : Twilight?

  [a third Mare Do Well approaches and unmasks, revealing Applejack] 

  Rainbow Dash : Applejack? There were three of you?

  Twilight Sparkle : Yep, we all played Mare Do Well at different times.

  Applejack : I stopped the carriage bus with these babies,

  [gestures to her back legs] 

  Applejack : Bucky McGillicudy and Kicks McGee.

  Pinkie Pie : And I saved the construction workers with my Pinkie Sense.

  [her tail suddenly twitches then she quickly moves and pushes Rainbow Dash out of the way of a flowerpot that falls off a windowsill] 

  Pony : [Looking down from the window]  Sorry!

  Pinkie Pie : It's okay.

  Twilight Sparkle : And I used my magic to fix the dam.

  [magically levitates her Mare Do Well hat over her head] 

  Fluttershy : [Runs up beside Twilight Sparkle]  Ooh! Ooh! And I did that flyby afterwards.

  Rarity : [Approaches Rainbow Dash]  And I made the costumes, fabulous if I do say so myself.

  Rainbow Dash : I don't understand... why? Don't you want me to be a hero?

  Twilight Sparkle : Of course we want you to be a hero.

  Applejack : But a real hero doesn't brag!

  [winks] 

  Rainbow Dash : I guess I did start to brag a little...

  Rarity , Pinkie Pie , Applejack , Twilight Sparkle , Fluttershy : A little?

  Rainbow Dash : Okay... a lot.
