The Cutie Map - Part 2 (2015)

Tara Strong: Twilight Sparkle

Quotes 

• Twilight Sparkle : And you wouldn't just let me stay here in the village with my old cutie mark?

  Starlight Glimmer : Out of the question. A pony with a different cutie mark would destroy our entire philosophy. We are all equal here!

  [the villagers murmur happily] 

  Fluttershy : [offscreen]  Then how do you explain *this*?

  [camera zooms out as she throws water from a bucket towards Starlight Glimmer, she quickly moves out of the way and it splashes to the ground, a small bit of the water touching her flank] 

  Starlight Glimmer : I knew you couldn't be trusted!

  [the water reveals something blue under her equal sign cutie mark, Party Favor gets a cloth and wipes it] 

  Starlight Glimmer : No, get away!

  [the villagers see her actual cutie mark underneath, they all gasp, she realizes that as well and quickly moves her tail over it] 

  Starlight Glimmer : What are you looking at? They're the problem, not me!

  [Smiles nervously] 

  Party Favor : How... could you?

  Double Diamond : You said cutie marks were evil! You said special talents led to pain and heartache!

  Starlight Glimmer : They do! Don't you see? Look at them!

  Sugar Belle : Then why? Why did you take ours and not give up your own?

  Starlight Glimmer : I... I had to, you fools! How could I collect your cutie marks without my magic?

  Night Glider : But the staff has all the magic we need!

  Starlight Glimmer : The staff is a piece of wood I found in the desert, you'd still be living your miserable lives thinking you're better than everypony else, if it weren't for *my* magical abilities! I brought you friendship! I brought you equality! I CREATED HARMONY!

  Double Diamond : You lied to us!

  Starlight Glimmer : So what? Everything else I said is true, the only way to be happy is if we're all equal!

  Party Favor : Except for you!

  [Starlight grits her teeth and her horn glows] 

  Twilight Sparkle : Everypony has unique talents and gifts, and when we share them with each other, that's how we...

  Starlight Glimmer : QUIET!

  Sugar Belle : You can't have that cutie mark, Starlight. Either we're all equal, or none of us are!

  [the villagers advance on her, she backs up into the Mane 6, then she magically pushes them all away a short distance with a barrier and runs off into her house and locks the door] 

  Double Diamond : Come on, let's get our cutie marks back!

  [All the villagers run for the cutie mark vault] 

  Rainbow Dash : Come on, let's go get *our* cutie marks!

  Fluttershy : Our cutie marks aren't in the vault.

  [Points to Starlight Glimmer's house] 

  Fluttershy : They're in there... with *her*!

• Starlight Glimmer : Wh... I studied that spell for years! How can you...

  Twilight Sparkle : I studied magic for years too! But what I didn't know then was that studying could only take me so far. Each of my friends has taught me something different about myself. It was their unique gifts and passions and personalities that helped bring out the magic inside of me. I never would have learned that I represent the Element of Magic without these five... and I certainly wouldn't be here to stop you now!

  Starlight Glimmer : Spare me your sentimental nonsense! I gave these ponies real friendships they never could've had otherwise!

  Double Diamond : How do you know that? You never even gave us a chance!

  [Starlight furiously charges up her magic and floods the whole place with light; when it's gone, she has disappeared into the caves to parts unknown] 

  Rainbow Dash : She's getting away!

  Double Diamond : We'll never find her in there!

  Twilight Sparkle : We just have to hope that when she's had a chance to think it over, she realizes that you all have taught her something.

• Starlight Glimmer : [Party Favor sees a drop of water from the water Fluttershy splashed running over the makeup on her flank, revealing her real cutie mark; he wipes it off] 

  Starlight Glimmer : No! Get away!

  [the villaige ponies gasp in shock] 

  Starlight Glimmer : Wh... what are you looking at?

  [at the Mane Six] 

  Starlight Glimmer : They're the problem, not me!

  Party Favor : How could you?

  Double Diamond : You said cutie marks were evil! You said special talents led to pain and heartache!

  Starlight Glimmer : They do! Don't you see? Look at them!

  Sugar Belle : Then why? Why did you take ours and not give up your own?

  Starlight Glimmer : I... I had to, you fools! How could I collect your cutie marks without my magic?

  Night Glider : But... the Staff has all the magic we need!

  Starlight Glimmer : The Staff is a piece of wood I found in the desert! It's my magic that makes all this possible. You'd all still be living your miserable lives, thinking you're better than everypony else, if it weren't for my magical abilities! I brought you friendship! I brought you equality! I CREATED HARMONY!

  Double Diamond : You lied to us!

  Starlight Glimmer : So what? E-Everything else I said is true. The only way to be happy is if we're all equal!

  Double Diamond : Except for you.

  [Starlight is furious] 

  Twilight Sparkle : Everypony has unique talents and gifts, and when we share them with each other, that's how re...

  Starlight Glimmer : QUIET!

  [the Mane Six are shocked] 

  Sugar Belle : You can't have that cutie mark, Starlight! Either we're all equal, or none of us are!

  [Everyone corners Starlight; she escapes and runs back into her house]
