Madeleine Peters: Scootaloo

Quotes 

• Scootaloo : I'm just no good at lyrics. Coming up with words is, like, really hard.

  Sweetie Belle : Oh, they can't be *that* bad...

  [reads what Scootaloo's written] 

  Sweetie Belle : "With our cutie marks, we'll rock Equestria. We use our stomachs to... digest-ia"? Um... Well... these are good but... How about after "We fight the fight... There is nothing that we fear/We'll have to figure out what we'll do next/Till our cutie marks are here"?

  Scootaloo : Wow! That's so awesome! Did you just come up with that now?

  Sweetie Belle : Yeah... kind of.

  Scootaloo : Thanks, I'm totally using that.

• Twilight Sparkle : "Ghosts, Goblins, and Ghoulish Figures"? Good heavens, girls, what do you need a book like this for?

  Scootaloo : You'll see, thanks Twilight! We'll give it back as soon as we're done with it.

  [runs out of the library] 

  Twilight Sparkle : What do you think they're up to?

  Spike : I have no idea, and I don't know if I should be excited or scared to find out.

• Scootaloo : [singing in the style of an 1980s power rock ballad]  Look, here are three little ponies/Ready to sing for this crowd/Listen up, 'cause here's our story/I'm gonna sing it...

  Apple Bloom , Scootaloo , Sweetie Belle : very loud!

• Scootaloo : [first verse]  When you're a younger pony /And your flank is very bare/Feels like the sun will never come/When your cutie mark's not there/So the three of us fight the fight/There is nothing that we fear/We'll have to figure out what we'll do next

  Apple Bloom , Scootaloo , Sweetie Belle : Till our cutie marks are here!

• Apple Bloom , Scootaloo , Sweetie Belle : [refrain]  We are the Cutie Mark Crusaders/On a quest to find out who we are/And we will never stop the journey/Not until we have our cutie marks!

• Scootaloo : [second verse]  They all say that you'll get your mark/When the time is really right/And you know just what you're supposed to do/And your talent comes to light/But it's not as easy as it sounds/And that waiting's hard to do/So we test our talents everywhere...

  Apple Bloom , Scootaloo , Sweetie Belle : Until our face is blue!

  [refrain twice] 

• Twilight Sparkle : [the girls have just discovered that their performance did not earn them their cutie marks]  Congratulations, ponies! Job well done.

  Apple Bloom , Scootaloo , Sweetie Belle : [sadly]  Thanks, Twilight.

  Twilight Sparkle : Hey, you don't sound too excited.

  Scootaloo : [sigh]  We worked really hard and won a prize but we still don't have our cutie marks.

  Sweetie Belle : Which is the prize we really wanted.

  Twilight Sparkle : Oh, girls...

  Apple Bloom : But we think we know why.

  Sweetie Belle : Yes. We know why.

  Twilight Sparkle : Oh? Tell me. I'd love to make a special report to the Princess.

  Sweetie Belle : Well, maybe we were trying too hard?

  Twilight Sparkle : Yes? And...

  Scootaloo : And instead of forcing ourselves to do something that's not meant for us...

  Twilight Sparkle : [thinking they're going to "get" it]  Yes? Yes?

  Apple Bloom : We each should be embracing our true talent!

  Twilight Sparkle : And that is...?

  Apple Bloom , Scootaloo , Sweetie Belle : Comedy!

  [they had won the talent show's first prize for best comedy act] 

• Applejack : Cutie Mark Crusaders, welcome to your new clubhouse.

  [silence] 

  Applejack : Well, don't thank me all at once. This was my clubhouse when I was your age. Sure it hasn't been used in a while, but it's empty and on a secluded, private part of the farm. And it's all yours. It just needs a little, uh... TLC.

  Scootaloo : TLC as in Tender Loving Care or Totally Lost Cause?

• Sweetie Belle : Hey Scoot! How's the song going?

  Scootaloo : Pbht!

  [blows a raspberry] 

  Sweetie Belle : Pbht? Oh my! Sounds serious.

• Scootaloo : OK, so that's six wooden planks, 4x8 plywood, a box of nails, four cans of paint, and four brushes. Anything else?

  Sweetie Belle : Yeah... Instructions on how to use six wooden planks, 4x8 plywood, a box of nails, four cans of paint, and four brushes.

• Sweetie Belle : [to Sunny Days and Peachy Pie, going on for their act]  Break a leg!

  Apple Bloom : Sweetie Belle! What a thing to say!

  Sweetie Belle : No, no, no. You see, in the theater it's considered bad luck to say "good luck". So you say "break a leg" instead.

  Twilight Sparkle : [comes up to them]  My little ponies! How are you doing?

  Apple Bloom , Scootaloo , Sweetie Belle : Nervous...

  Twilight Sparkle : Don't worry. You're gonna be amazing. Remember, just stick to what you know best. I can't wait to hear you sing, Sweetie Belle.

  Sweetie Belle : Why does everypony always think I'm gonna sing?

  Scootaloo : Actually, Twilight Sparkle, I'm the main singer tonight.

  Twilight Sparkle : Oh?

  Apple Bloom : And I'm the main dancer. Hai-ya!

  [does a kick in the air] 

  Twilight Sparkle : [getting worried]  Oh?

  Sweetie Belle : And I'm in charge of...

  Twilight Sparkle : [increasingly worried, seeing that the girls are trying the wrong talents]  Costumes?

  Sweetie Belle : And sets and props. How'd you know?

  Twilight Sparkle : Really, girls? Are you sure...

  Cheerilee : Cutie Mark Crusaders, you're on next. Break a leg.

  Twilight Sparkle : [the girls run towards the wings of the stage]  Break a le...

  Apple Bloom : [trips]  Ugh!

  Twilight Sparkle : Uh... good luck!
