- Rarity: [referring to Fluttershy getting Opalescence to leave] Did you use... "The Stare" on her?
- Fluttershy: Oh no! I wouldn't. I *couldn't*. I-I don't really have any control when it happens. It just *happens*. Really. I'm just good with animals. It's my special gift, you know.
- Twilight Sparkle: This is gonna make quite a letter to the princess. I was wrong about you. You certainly do know how to handle those girls.
- Fluttershy: Oh, I wouldn't go that far.
- Twilight Sparkle: Hmm? How so?
- Fluttershy: I assumed that I'd be just as good with kids as I am with animals. Boy, was I wrong. I really learned the hard way not to bite off more than I could chew.
- Fluttershy: So, what should we do?
- Scootaloo: I'm gonna get my mark first!
- Fluttershy: Girls...
- Sweetie Belle: Nuh-uh!
- Fluttershy: Shouldn't we...
- Apple Bloom: *I* am!
- Scootaloo: We are the Cutie Mark Crusaders!
- Apple Bloom: And we wanna crusade for our cutie marks!
- Sweetie Belle: And we um... Yeah what they said!
- Apple Bloom: [about to fix a table they broke, Apple Bloom requests a hammer from Scootaloo] Hammer!
- Scootaloo: [Scootaloo grabs a hammer from the basket next to her and passes it down to Apple Bloom through Sweetie Belle] Hammer.
- Sweetie Belle: [requests a hammer] Hammer!
- Scootaloo: [gives her one] Hammer.
- Scootaloo: Hammer!
- [pause]
- Scootaloo: [she picks up a hammer for herself] Hammer.
- [the girls nod to each other and begin attacking the table]
- Sweetie Belle: Um... that doesn't look like a table.
- Scootaloo: We were making a table?
- Apple Bloom: Somepony needs to put this thing out of its misery.
- Scootaloo: We are definitely not Cutie Mark Carpenters.
- Sweetie Belle: Who wants a picture of a hammer on their flank anyway?
- Fluttershy: Now that we've gotten that out of the way, how about a game?
- Apple Bloom: A game?
- Fluttershy: It's called "Shh."
- Scootaloo: What's that?
- Fluttershy: Well... It's a game about who can be quiet the longest. Sound fun? I'm the world champ, you know. I betcha can't beat me! ~Squee~
- [she inhales and energetically holds her breath]
- Scootaloo: [after a second or two] I lose!
- Sweetie Belle: Me too!
- Apple Bloom: Me three!
- [they all dash off the couch]
- Apple Bloom: How about "Cutie Mark Crusader Coal Miners"?
- Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo: [popping their heads out of the chimney/fireplace] YAY!
- Fluttershy: NO!
- Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo: Awww...
- Apple Bloom: [the girls are searching for one of Fluttershy's chickens in the forest at night] Oh wait, *now* I know how to call a chicken... Scootaloo! Scoot-Scootaloo!
- Scootaloo: That's so funny I forgot to laugh.
- Apple Bloom: Y'also forgot how to call a chicken.
- Fluttershy: [With the girls behind her, Fluttershy stands up to the cockatrice] YOU! Just who do you think you are, going around turning others into stone? You should be ashamed of yourself! I have half a mind to find your mother and tell her what you've been up to, young man! Now you go over there and turn Elizabeak and my friend Twilight back to normal - and don't ever let me catch you doing this again! Do you understand me?
- Apple Bloom: [Fluttershy is putting the girls to bed] How are we gonna find our special talent in our sleep?
- Fluttershy: [blows out candle] Maybe you'll have a lovely little dream about your special talent.
- Scootaloo: But we're not even tired!
- Fluttershy: How about I sing you a lullaby?
- Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle: Mm-hmm, yeah!
- Fluttershy: [clears her throat and sings softly] Hush now, quiet now/It's time to lay your sleepy head/Hush now, quiet now/It's time to go to bed...
- Sweetie Belle: I know this one!
- Fluttershy: Oh, how wonderful! Why don't you sing it with me?
- Sweetie Belle - singing: [clears throat, stands up in bed, and starts singing loudly in a "gospel" style] Hush now! Quiet now!/Cause it's time to lay your sleepy head!/Said hush now! Quiet now!/Cause it's time to go to bed!
- Fluttershy: Okay, Sweetie, that was...
- Sweetie Belle - singing: Driftin' off to sleep!/The exciting day behind you!/Driftin' off to sleep!/Let the joy of daylight find you!
- Fluttershy: Thank you, Sweetie, um...
- Sweetie Belle - singing: [goes up a key] Hush now! Quiet now!/Lay your sleepy head!/Said hush now! Quiet now!/It's time to go to bed!
- [finishes stylishly]
- Sweetie Belle - singing: OW!
