- Twilight Sparkle: I can't help it, Spike. They've only been gone a minute, and I already feel like I'm missing something.
- Messenger Pony: For the Princess.
- Spike: [reading] "Dear Twilight, You aren't missing anything. Your friend, Pinkie Pie."
- Pinkie Pie: [from the train] THAT'S ME!
- Discord: Ladies, ladies, I'm innocent. Would I lie to you?
- Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity: Yes!
- Fluttershy: Um... maybe?
- Spike: The Celebration isn't until the day after tomorrow. We could still fit in a quick trip to Ponyville and be back in plenty of time to finish off these last few things before the main event!
- Twilight Sparkle: [sighs] That would be nice, Spike, but what if something else came up while we were gone? What if we were delayed getting back and I wasn't able to finish everything on that list? What if we lost the list on the way to Ponyville and then couldn't remember which things we'd done and which things we hadn't done, and then spent so much time trying to figure out what we hadn't done and what we had done, and we ruined the entire Celebration by not doing the one really important thing that we were supposed to do?
- [flies up to the ceiling and crashes]
- Spike: Uh... so that's a "no" then?
- Twilight Sparkle: Spike, where were we?
- Spike: About to call it a night?
- Twilight Sparkle: We should probably go over the checklist one more time.
- Spike: I knew you were gonna say that.
- [after another rough landing from Twilight]
- Spike: Sweet ground!
- [kissing noises]
- Spike: Sweet, sweet, wonderful ground!
- Twilight Sparkle: Okay, I get it! I need to work on my flying!
- Discord: [holding Rainbow Dash] The rest of you could learn a lot about friendship from my dear friend Shutterfly here.
- Fluttershy: Um, it's Fluttershy.
- Discord: Oh, right, whatever.
- Discord: I'm reformed. Don't you remember?
- Rainbow Dash: Yeah, right! This has got your cloven hoofprints written all over it!
- Discord: I'll have you know that I only have *one* cloven hoof.
