Quotes 

• Cherry Berry : [Cherry Berry and Bon Bon are stopped on a small bridge, wearing harnesses attached to large carts of garbage]  Showpony business is tough.

  Bon Bon : Go ahead, try one of your jokes out on me, I laugh at everything.

  Cherry Berry : Okay, okay, okay. A donkey and a mule are stuck on a desert island...

  Fluttershy : [clears throat]  Excuse me? Would you mind moving your carts so I can pass?

  Cherry Berry : Yeah yeah, in a minute, I just wanna finish up this story. And so the donkey says to the mule...

  Fluttershy : A-hemmmm, can you move, you're blocking my path.

  Cherry Berry : Yeah yeah, in a minute! So the donkey says to the mule...

  [fades under] 

  Fluttershy : "When somepony tries to block, show them that you rock!"

  Cherry Berry : [Fluttershy gets behind the wagons and bucks them upwards with her back legs, sending the garbage falling down on Cherry Berry and Bon Bon]  ... and the mule says-

  [splat] 

  Cherry Berry : Ugh, easy does it, lady. We're moving, okay?

  Fluttershy : Good!

• Pinkie Pie : [serving a line of customers at Sugarcube Corner with Rarity]  Who's next, please, and what can I get for you today?

  Fluttershy : [Fluttershy walks up to the back of the line, behind Daisy, only to be rudely cut in front of by Linky]  What do you think you're doing? Didn't you see me?

  Linky Shoeshine : [dismissively]  Uh, I guess maybe.

  Fluttershy : "Maybe"? "Maybes are for babies!"

  [she growls, hits Linky, spins her around, and yells in her face] 

  Fluttershy : Now go to the back of the line where you belong!

  [Linky does so, and the other ponies who were in front of her also back up outside the door out of fear] 

• Rarity : Fluttershy! What *are* you doing? That's no way to behave!

  Fluttershy : Didn't you see what he did to new Fluttershy? And he thought new Fluttershy was a pushover!

  Rarity : No sweetie, he didn't. We saw the whole thing. We think that you've taken your assertiveness training a little too far.

  Fluttershy : *What*? You just want *new* Fluttershy to be a *doormat* like *old* Fluttershy! But old Fluttershy is *gone*!

  Pinkie Pie : New Fluttershy...? Old Fluttershy...?

  Rarity : What happened to *nice* Fluttershy? We want *that* Fluttershy back.

  Fluttershy : [Fluttershy begins to fly circles around Pinkie Pie and Rarity]  No, you want *wimp* Fluttershy. You want *pushover* Fluttershy. You want do-anything-to-her-and-she-won't-complain Fluttershy!

  [while she circles them, Pinkie twists her neck around to follow her] 

  Pinkie Pie : [unwinding her neck and feeling dizzy]  Nyaaaaah! Too many Fluttershies to keep track of! Make it stop!

  Fluttershy : Things getting too complicated for your simple little brain, Pinkie Pie?

  [Fluttershy pushes Pinkie by the head and knocks her into Rarity's 'arms'] 

  Rarity : Now, stop right there! Let's not let things descend into petty insults!

  Fluttershy : [still hovering above them, stationary]  Why not? I thought "petty" was what you're all about, Rarity. With your 'petty' concerns about fashion.

  Rarity : [gasps] 

  Pinkie Pie : [zips over]  Hey, leave her alone! Fashion is her passion!

  [she stands up and makes hip-swaying motions] 

  Fluttershy : Oh, and what are you passionate about? Birthday cake? *Party hats*? I can't believe that the two most frivolous ponies in Ponyville are trying to tell *new* Fluttershy how to live her life when they are throwing their own lives away on pointless pursuits that *nopony else gives a flying feather about*!

  [Pinkie Pie and Rarity are on the verge of tears now] 

  Pinkie Pie : Looks like *nasty* Fluttershy is here to stay!

  Rarity : I cannot believe what that monster Iron Will has done to you!

  Rarity , Pinkie Pie : [they run away crying] 

  Fluttershy : Iron Will's not a monster, *HE'S A MINOTAUR*!

  [she lands on the ground at the base of a puddle, and growls at her reflection. Suddenly, she sees how mean she has become and whimpers] 

  Fluttershy : ... I'm the monster.

• Turf : [talking with another teenage pony, suddenly cutting in front of Fluttershy in line for asparagus]  ... like, oh well.

  Fluttershy : Hey!

  Turf : Would you mind moving back? You're in my personal space.

  Fluttershy : But...

  Surf : Seriously, do you need your asparagus so badly? Get a life.

  Fluttershy : [backing away]  Oh, okay. There's no rush.

  Rarity : [behind Fluttershy as she backs up]  Fluttershy, you mustn't let them treat you that way.

  Fluttershy : Oh, it-it's really no big deal...

  Pinkie Pie : It's bigger than big, it's double big, you are a pony with a *problem*.

  Fluttershy : What problem?

  [to demonstrate, Pinkie places Fluttershy in front of her, then quickly zips past her, causing Fluttershy to spin around and fall down] 

  Fluttershy : Oh, go right ahead Pinkie Pie, you first.

  Pinkie Pie : Right there! *That's* the problem.

  Rarity : You've got to stop being such a doormat.

  Fluttershy : A doormat?

  Rarity : A pushover, darling. You've got to stand up for yourself, promise us.

  Fluttershy : Oh, okay. I promise.

  [sees some asparagus for sale] 

  Fluttershy : Oh! Good!

• Iron Will : [looking at the screen with a thumbs-up]  Iron Will's my name, training ponies is my game.

  Rarity : [Pinkie Pie and Rarity stare back at us, puzzled. Then they turn back and address Iron Will]  What a darling little catchphrase.

  Iron Will : Your friend Fluttershy *loved* Iron Will's catchphrases. Word on the street is that she doesn't take no guff from nopony! So, Iron Will is here to collect Iron Will's fee.

  Pinkie Pie : Fluttershy is in no shape to deal with *that* creep!

  Rarity : [gasps; starts running after him as he walks]  I'm sure a big, brave, powerful and rich monster- I mean, minotaur, like you, doesn't need that money right away. You can afford to come back later.

  Iron Will : Are you kidding? Fluttershy is overdue as it is. Iron Will collects *now*.

• Pinkie Pie : [Pinkie and Rarity gallop up to Fluttershy]  You were amazing, Fluttershy!

  [they hug her] 

  Pinkie Pie : You totally stood up to that monster!

  Rarity : In fact, you didn't change at all! You were the same old Fluttershy that we've always loved!

  Pinkie Pie : The one we missed!

  Fluttershy : Don't worry, old Fluttershy's back for good. I'm sorry I took the whole assertiveness thing too far. Friends?

  [she gets a pair of teary smiles] 

  Rarity , Pinkie Pie : Friends.

  Fluttershy , Rarity , Pinkie Pie : [laughing]
