Animatic transcript

 * Diamond Tiara: Girls, we just wanted to say your act is quite impressive!
 * Sweetie Belle: Wait... What?
 * Apple Bloom: Um... Thanks?
 * Silver Spoon: Oh, but of course. As a matter of fact, we think you're very brave.
 * Scootaloo: Brave? Why?
 * Diamond Tiara: Isn't it obvious? It is to us. In fact, it's obvious to everypony. You're showing all three types of Ponyville ponies, yet you have a Pegasus pony...
 * Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon: ...who can't even fly!
 * Apple Bloom: What in tarnation does that have to do with anything?
 * Silver Spoon: I'd say not even being able to fly has everything to do with everything. Doesn't it?
 * Diamond Tiara: I mean, a Pegasus pony at your age? You should've been flying long ago.
 * Scootaloo: So what if my wings can't get me off the ground?
 * Diamond Tiara: Your career as a flag carrier isn't getting off the ground either.
 * Silver Spoon: Ms. Harshwhinny will never pick a Pegasus pony who can't fly to represent Ponyville in front of all of Equestria.
 * Sweetie Belle: Ms. Harshwhinny never said anything about that!
 * Silver Spoon: I would've thought that was obvious.
 * Diamond Tiara: Well, have fun practicing anyway, even if your routine will never—how shall I say—take off!
