Okay. I still think the transcripts need a bit of housekeeping, so let's see if I can't improve them without going overboard like I did last time. Down that way madness lies.

Sandbox/Transcripts/Look Before You Sleep
* episode opens to pegasi pushing clouds in front of the sun, and other ponies pulling branches off trees; Rarity repairs a branch*

Rarity: Hmm. Hah! *turns clumps of leaves into topiary* Perfect!

Applejack: *pulls the branch down again and spits the rope out of her mouth* Jest take the broken limbs down, Rarity. Dont'cha all care about nothin' other than prettifyin'?

Rarity: Somepony has to. You are making an absolute mess of the town square, Applejack.

Applejack: Yeah, well, the storm's gonna make an even bigger mess if we don't prune all these loose branches so they don't tumble down on anypony.

Rarity: I simply cannot imagine why the pegasus ponies would schedule a dreadful downpour this evening, and ruin what could have been a glorious sunny day.

Applejack: *sighs* Think more practical-like, will ya? They accidentally skipped a scheduled sprinkle last week, so we need a doozy of a downpour to make up for it, is all.

* rain starts*

Rarity: Oh no! My wonderfully styled mane shall be ruined!

Applejack: Ya shoulda hurried up and finished the job already.

Rarity: *panics* Oh! Ah! Oh! It's coming down too fast! Ah! Oh! Ah! Help me!

Applejack: Uh... *spots a picnic table* There. Hunker down to yer heart's content whilst I finish this.

Rarity: *runs to the table and sees mud underneath it* Oh, no, no, no!

Applejack: What now?

Rarity: I prefer not to get my hooves muddy.

Applejack: Guh. There is just no pleasin' ya, is there. Everything's got to be just so.

Rarity: Well, and how does muddying my hooves serve any useful purpose?

Applejack: Y'all wouldn't know useful if it came up and bit ya.

Rarity: *laughs* That doesn't even make any sense.

Applejack: Does so.

Rarity: Does not.

Applejack: Does so.

Rarity: Does not.

Applejack: Does so.

Rarity: Does not.

Applejack: Does so infinity. Hah.

Rarity: Does not infinity plus one. Hah.

* the two ponies stare each other down*

Rarity: What say we go our separate ways before one of us says something she will regret.

Applejack: I reckon y'all're gonna say something you'll regret first.

Rarity: On the contrary. I believe it shall most certainly be you who says something you will regret first.

Applejack: I'm not sayin' anythin'.

Rarity: Nor am I.

Applejack: Y'all just be on yer way, then.

Rarity: After you!

* they back away from each other; thunder cracks, they yelp and jump into hugging each other*

Rarity: Perhaps we should stick together for now and find some shelter.

Applejack: Uh-huh, perhaps we should. Sounds fair.

* opening*

Applejack: *hides under the picnic table* Nice and dry under here. Sort'a.

Rarity: Oh! Unacceptable.

Twilight Sparkle *in distance*: Applejack! Rarity! Applejack! Rarity!

Applejack/Rarity: Twilight?

Twilight Sparkle: Come inside, girls, quick!

* Applejack and Rarity run for the library; Applejack stops on the threshold*

Applejack: Whoa, Nelly. Is inside a tree really the best place to be in a lightning storm?

Twilight Sparkle: It is if you have a magical lightning rod protecting your home like I do. Come on in!

Rarity: Hah! We are most grateful for your invitation.

Applejack: Thank ya kindly for yer hospitality.

* Applejack enters, tracking mud; Rarity stops her*

Rarity: *points to Applejack's hooves* Uh, do be a polite houseguest and go wash up please, won't you?

Applejack: *grumbles* If I gotta spend one more second with that fussbudget Rarity today, I can't be held responsible for what I'm gonna do.

Twilight Sparkle: Some storm, huh? The pegasus ponies sure have outdone themselves this time. I hope you and Applejack don't have any trouble getting home.

Rarity: It may indeed be a problem.

Twilight Sparkle: Well, you're welcome to stay if need be. Spike is away in Canterlot on royal business. I'm home all alone tonight. *gasps* You and Applejack should totally sleep over! We'll have a slumber party! I've always wanted one of those.
