Transcripts/Putting Your Hoof Down


 * Fluttershy: Who's hungry? Plenty for everypony. Slow down, sweetie. [giggles]
 * Angel: [thumps on ground]
 * Fluttershy: Here you go, Angel bunny.
 * Angel: [continues thumping]
 * Fluttershy: Okay, Mister Picky-pants, you win. Carrots, lettuce and apples, yum yum yum! What? But- Then, what will you eat? I'm not sure if I can even make that. Well... I don't want you to starve... Oh, are you sure I can't tempt you with a nice crisp piece of- [sighs] I'll make your special recipe.




 * Fluttershy: Hmm, let's see. Asparagus. Excuse me... I think you just stepped in front of me...? Excuse me, I think you made a mistake? You see I was actually here first and-
 * Unicorn: Sorry, didn't notice you there.
 * Fluttershy: I know.
 * Elderly pony: [chuckles]
 * Fluttershy: Oh, pardon me, sir-
 * Elderly pony: Yes, what?
 * Fluttershy: I think you just cut in front of me.
 * Elderly pony: A cut of celery? But- this is the asparagus stand!
 * Fluttershy: I said [into ear trumpet] I think you just cut in front of me.
 * Elderly pony: Ohoh, no need, dearie, I'm already in front!
 * Fluttershy: I noticed.
 * Teenage pony #1: [fades in] ...like, oh well.
 * Fluttershy: Hey!
 * Teenage pony #1: Would you mind moving back? You're in my personal space.
 * Fluttershy: But-
 * Teenage pony #2: Seriously, do you need your asparagus so badly? Get a life.
 * Fluttershy: Oh, okay. There's no rush.
 * Rarity: Fluttershy, you musn't let them treat you that way.
 * Fluttershy: Oh, it's really no big deal...
 * Pinkie Pie: It's bigger than big, it's double big, you are a pony with a problem.
 * Fluttershy: What problem? Oh, go right ahead Pinkie Pie, you first.
 * Pinkie Pie: Right there! That's the problem.
 * Rarity: You've got to stop being such a doormat.
 * Fluttershy: A doormat?
 * Rarity: A pushover, darling. You've got to stand up for yourself, promise us.
 * Fluttershy: Oh, okay. I promise. Oh! Good!
 * [bit clinking]
 * Fluttershy: Oh, that's okay I don't mind.
 * Rarity: Watch and learn. Hold it right there, mister [?] and handsome.
 * Nerdy pony: Uh, who, me?
 * Rarity: Of course, you. Nopony ever called you handsome before?
 * Nerdy pony: Uhh, that'd be a big no.
 * Rarity: Sure, how about flexing some of your muscles for me. [gasps] Oh my heavens! Do you think a strong, handsome stallion such as yourself could give my friend the last asparagus?
 * [bit clinking]
 * Nerdy pony: Yuh. [mumbles]
 * Rarity: See, that's not so hard, was it?
 * Fluttershy: ...um... I guess not.
 * Rarity: Right then! What else is on your list?
 * Fluttershy: Let's see... I also need tomatoes.
 * [bit clinking]
 * Fluttershy: Here you go.
 * Tomato stallholder: [clears throat] That'll be two bits. Not one.
 * Fluttershy: Oh, but last week it was only one bit.
 * Tomato stallholder: That was then, this is now.
 * Fluttershy: Oh, okay. I don't wanna argue.
 * Pinkie Pie: What do you think you're doing?
 * Tomato stallholder: Mindin' my own business, maybe you should try it.
 * Pinkie Pie: Two bits for tomatoes is outrageous, one bit is the right price.
 * Tomato stallholder: I say it's two bits.
 * Pinkie Pie: One bit.
 * Tomato stallholder: Two bits!
 * Pinkie Pie: One bit!
 * Tomato stallholder: Two bits!
 * Pinkie Pie: One bit!
 * Tomato stallholder: Two bits!
 * Pinkie Pie: Two bits!
 * Tomato stallholder: One bit!
 * Pinkie Pie: Two bits!
 * Tomato stallholder: One bit!
 * Pinkie Pie: I insist it's two bits or nothing!
 * Tomato stallholder: One bit and that's my final offer!
 * Pinkie Pie: Have it your way, one bit it is!
 * Pinkie Pie and Rarity: [giggles]
 * Pinkie Pie: See? Asserting yourself can be fun!
 * Fluttershy: I guess you're right!
 * Rarity: So, Fluttershy, do you feel like giving it a try?
 * Fluttershy: Um... okay. [to self] I need that cherry. [to cherry stallholder] Boy am I glad you have one cherry left. You see I'm making this special meal for my bunny Angel, he's a very picky eater, and the recipe calls for a cherry on top.
 * [bit clinking]
 * Fluttershy: Here you go.
 * Cherry stallholder: So, you say you need this cherry 'very badly'.
 * Fluttershy: Oh, yes, I'm desperate for it!
 * Cherry stallholder: Then it'll be ten bits!
 * Fluttershy: Ten?! Oh, hey, mister handsome, I know you wanna do the right thing because you're handsome and strong and big- handsome strong guys are always nice to everypony, right?
 * Cherry stallholder: Ten bits for the cherry.
 * Fluttershy: Ten bits for one cherry's outrageous! I insist on paying you... eleven bits!
 * Cherry stallholder: Eleven bits?
 * Fluttershy: ...I mean, nine bits!
 * Cherry stallholder: Now wait a minute.
 * Fluttershy: Okay, twelve bits, and that's my final offer!
 * Cherry stallholder: I think you're confused.
 * Fluttershy: Twelve bits, take it or leave it.
 * Cherry stallholder: 'kay, I'll take it.
 * Pinkie Pie: Don't give him your money! One cherry is not worth twelve bits!
 * Fluttershy: But... I was only doing what you did.
 * Rarity: It was a valiant effort, but you should refuse to give him your business and just walk away.
 * Fluttershy: But... I can't let Angel starve! He won't eat it unless I make it just right! I need that cherry no matter what it costs!
 * Cherry stallholder: In that case, twenty bits!
 * Fluttershy: Twenty?! But I don't have that much!
 * Cherry stallholder: Then why're you wasting my time?
 * Lemon Hearts: I'll give you two bits for that cherry!
 * Cherry stallholder: Sold! That's the [?], kid. Next time, don't be such a doormat.


 * [goat bleats]
 * Fluttershy: Tada! Here you go, Angel. Sorry there's no cherry on top, but the rest is exactly what you wanted. Angel? [sighs] Look at me... I really am a doormat.

 * Iron Will: Woah! He’s blocking your path. What are you gonna do about it?
 * Fluttershy: Um, politely walk around him?
 * Iron Will: No.
 * Fluttershy: Gingerly tip-toe around him?
 * Iron Will: No!
 * Fluttershy: Go back home, and try again tomorrow?
 * Iron Will: No! When somepony tries to block, show them that you rock!
 * Fluttershy: Oh! Sorry.
 * Iron Will: Don’t be sorry! Be assertive! Never apologize, when you can criticize. Ugh, why don’t you watch where you’re going!? Now, you try.
 * Fluttershy: Uh... next time, get out of the way before... I-I bump into you, 'cause... I totally won’t be sorry when I do!
 * [ca-ching]
 * Iron Will: You see my friends!? If my techniques can work for this shy, new pony, then they can work for anypony!
 * [crowd cheers]
