Transcripts/Stare Master

Rarity: Where did I put that? Ooooh, got it already ... and I can't forget that ---

ooooh, how am I going to get this done? Sweetie Belle: Are you sure I can't help? I could -- Rarity: No! Sweetie Belle: Maybe just a -- Rarity: No thanks! Sweetie Belle: How about -- Rarity: Just stand over there. Sweetie Belle: But -- Rarity: Where you'll ... be out of the way. Ribbon, ribbon! Where's the ribbon? Sweetie Belle: I got it! Whooooa! Rarity: [gasps] [extensive clattering] Rarity: Oooooh! [extensive crashing] Sweetie Belle: Um, I-I'll just go and stand over there. Where I'll be ... out of the

way. [rush of air] Rarity: [sighs]

[opening theme]

Sweetie Belle: Won't you at least let me help you clean up? Rarity: No. You've helped me quite enough. Sweetie Belle: I'm sorry, sis! I just thought that if I could help, I might find my

special gift and finally earn my Cutie Mark! Rarity: I understand -- it's just that [sigh] I need this time to fill this order

without any ... complications. [thump] Rarity: Look at it, all done. Now, back to work. I've lost a lot of time, and I

cannot have any more interruptions. [doorbell rings] Rarity: Ooooh, what now? Fluttershy: Oh, sorry. I thought the "open" sign meant you were open, but I-I

must have been mistaken. Rarity: Oh, Fluttershy! Forgive me! I was so wrapped up in my work that I

forgot you were bringing Opalescence back from her grooming! Fluttershy: No worries, Rarity. I've left her there in the basket. Opalescence: [growls] Rarity: Oooh, she looks great! I just don't understand how you're able to do it!

Opalescence: [purrs at Fluttershy] Rarity: I can't get near her without getting a swipe from her claws. Opalescence: [hisses at Rarity] Rarity: Ahh! Did you use ... The Stare on her? Fluttershy: Oh, no! I wouldn't! I couldn't!  I-I don't really have any control over

when that happens. I-I-It just happens. No, I'm just good with animals. It's my

special gift, you know. Rarity: Well, you should have a picture of Opal as a Cutie Mark instead of

those butterflies. Sweetie Belle: Oh, oooh oooh oooh oooh! Oooh oooh! Opalescence: [purrs at Fluttershy] Sweetie Belle: Maybe I can be good with animals, too! [metallic sword sound as Opalescence slashes at Sweetie Belle's mane] Sweetie Belle: Or not ... [Fluttershy and Rarity laugh] Rarity: I'm sorry I can't invite you to stay and chat, Fluttershy. I've bitten off a

bit more than I can chew with this order. Sweetie Belle: But you're not eating anything. Rarity: No, Sweetie, it's an expression. It means that I've taken on more work

than I can handle. I've got twenty of these special robes to make tonight!

They're due in Trottingham tomorrow morning! [swoosh of fabric, magical music] Fluttershy: [gasps] Rarity: See? I've lined them in a special gold silk. It took so long to make, but I

think it adds just the right touch, don't you? Fluttershy: These are lovely, but twenty? By tonight? How will you get it all

done? Rarity: Well, I, ah ... Sweetie Belle: Oooh, oooh oooh! Maybe I could ... just ... just stand over here,

and watch. Rarity: I'll manage. Fluttershy: Well, maybe I should get out of your mane so you can work. [rush of air, clattering of hooves] Apple Bloom and Scootaloo [shouting]: Hi, Fluttershy! Hi, Rarity! Rarity: Hello, ahhh, girls ... Apple Bloom and Scootaloo: Hey, Sweetie Belle! Sweetie Belle: Scootaloo! Apple Bloom! Scootaloo: You ready for tonight? Sweetie Belle: Yup! Cutie Mark planning session is a go! Apple Bloom: Tonight is the night we each try to find our own special talent. Scootaloo: Even if it takes us all night! Apple Bloom: I'm ready! You ready? Scootaloo: Very ready! Cutie Mark Crusaders [shouting]: Cutie Mark Crusader sleepover at Rarity's!

Yay! Sweetie Belle: And ... look what I made us! [trumpet flourish] Apple Bloom and Scootaloo: Oh, wow! [laughter, gasps] That's so cool! Oooh! Fluttershy: What does that patch on your cape mean? Cutie Mark Crusaders [shouting]: The Cutie Mark Crusaders! Yay! Scootaloo: We're on a crusade, a mission! Apple Bloom: To find our Cutie Marks! Sweetie Belle: Yup. And look. I lined them with this special gold silk. It took

sooo long to make, but I think it adds just the right touch, don't you? Apple Bloom and Scootaloo: Oooooh! Rarity: Sweetie Belle! What have you DONE? That was the last of the gold

silk! Oh, now I'll have to make more! Oh, I hope I can make more. I'm gonna

have to work all night! Which means ... sorry, girls, I'm afraid the Crusader

sleepover is cancelled. Sweetie Belle: WHAT? Rarity: I just won't have any time to watch you if I want to get these robes

delivered on time. Sweetie Belle: But -- Rarity: No buts this time. I'm sorry, Sweetie Belle; it's just the way it has to be. Cutie Mark Crusaders: Awwww ... Fluttershy: I, ah, I suppose I could take them for the night. Rarity: I couldn't ask you to do that. Fluttershy: Oh, it's no problem at all. Rarity: Have you met my sister and her friends? A problem is all it would be. Fluttershy: Did I have a problem with Opal? You've seen how well I handle

small creatures! Rarity: I suppose that's true ... and I do have a lot of work to do ... Fluttershy: Come on, it'll be fun. Rarity: I assure you, they're quite a handful. Fluttershy: These sweet little angels? Rarity: Well ... all right. Cutie Mark Crusaders [shouting]: Cutie Mark Crusader sleepover at

Fluttershy's cottage! Yay! Fluttershy: So cute. W-wait for me! Rarity: Hmmm ...

[clattering hooves] Fluttershy: Oh, won't this be ever so fun. We can have a nice little tea party

and braid each other's tails and sit quietly and colour and tell each other fairy

tales, and -- [rush of air, clattering hooves] Cutie Mark Crusaders: [giggling] Twilight Sparkle: Hello, Fluttershy. Fluttershy: Oh! Hello, Twilight. Where are you off to? Twilight Sparkle: I'm heading to the Everfree Forest, to Zecora's, to get some

of my favourite tea. Fluttershy: Th-the Everfree Forest? Ah, you'll be careful, won't you? Twilight Sparkle: Of course! How about you? What are you doing with the

girls? Fluttershy: Rarity has a big order to fill tonight, so I volunteered to take the

girls over to my cottage for a sleepover. Twilight Sparkle: Wow. Sounds like everypony has their hooves full today.

Taking care of those three fillies all by yourself? You sure you can handle it? Fluttershy: What? These sweet little angels? They'll be no problem at all.

[quiet, peaceful nighttime sounds, Fluttershy closes the door] Cutie Mark Crusaders: Wow! Look at this place! What's that? Are those

tickets? [indistinct loud chatter, clattering hooves, and rush of air sounds] Fluttershy: No problem at all. Okay, girls, ah, what should we do? Scootaloo: I'm gonna get my mark first! Fluttershy: Girls? Sweetie Belle: Nuh-uh! Fluttershy: Should we -- Apple Bloom: I am! Fluttershy: Girls, okay, now settle -- Scootaloo: I'm staying up all night! Apple Bloom: Me too! Sweetie Belle: Me three! Fluttershy: I-I know you're excited, but -- girls -- oh, oh, careful with the -- oh,

ah, girls -- [blows mane out of eyes]  So! What do you want to do? Play a

game? Scootaloo: We are the Cutie Mark Crusaders! Apple Bloom: And we want to crusade for our Cutie Marks! Sweetie Belle: And, and, and, we, um -- yeah! What they said! Fluttershy: Mmm, I don't know ... how about a nice quiet little tea party? Scootaloo: Or ... we could go adventuring in the Everfree Forest! Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: Yeah! Fluttershy: Oh, no. The Everfree Forest is much too dangerous. It's filled with

far too many strange creatures. Sweetie Belle: But you could go with us and we could catch those creatures.

We could be, umm ... Creature Catchers! Cutie Mark Crusaders [shouting]: YAY! Cutie Mark Crusader Creature

Catchers! Scootaloo: Arrrr ... I am a dangerous creature from the Everfree Forest! Rar! Sweetie Belle: Halt, dangerous creature from the Everfree Forest. I am

Sweetie Belle, the Creature Catcher, and I'm here to catch you! Scootaloo: You can never catch me! I am far too powerful and dangerous! Sweetie Belle: You cannot run from me! Scootaloo: Raaaar! Sweetie Belle: [giggling] Scootaloo: Raaaar! Fluttershy: Um, oh, maybe that's not such a -- now, girls, how about we do

some nice colouring. No -- Sweetie Belle: Come back, dangerous creature, so I can catch you! Scootaloo: Never! Fluttershy: Careful -- don't -- [crash] break anything. Sweetie Belle: Sorry, Fluttershy. Scootaloo: Yeah, sorry. Apple Bloom: I guess we aren't Creature Catchers. Fluttershy: Oh, girls, it's okay. I -- Apple Bloom: I know! We could be Cutie Mark Crusader carpenters! Fluttershy: C-carpenters? [rush of air] Apple Bloom: Hammer. Scootaloo: Hammer. Sweetie Belle: Hammer! Scootaloo: Hammer! Hammer! Hammer! [thumping, clattering, sawing, jackhammer sounds] 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: Well, now that we've gotten that out of the way, how about a

game? Apple Bloom: A game? Fluttershy: It's called "Shhh!" 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 bet you can't beat me! [draws a deep

breath] Scootaloo: I lose! Sweetie Belle: Me too! Apple Bloom: Me three! Fluttershy: [sighs] Apple Bloom: Okay, now what can we do? Oooh! How about Cutie Mark

Crusader coal miners? Cutie Mark Crusaders: YEAH! Fluttershy: NO! Cutie Mark Crusaders: Awwww! Fluttershy: I mean, it's time for bed, don't you think? Aren't you excited to get

all toasty and warm in your snuggly-wuggly widdle beds? Apple Bloom: Snuggly-wuggly? But we have more crusading to do! Scootaloo: We've got plans! Sweetie Belle: And capes! Fluttershy: Um, okay, um. Maybe the crusading can wait until morning? When

it's light? And not so ... dark? Apple Bloom: 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? Cutie Mark Crusaders: Mm-hmm, yeah! Fluttershy: [clears throat] 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: [clears throat] [drumroll, music switches to up-tempo gospel with backup singers] Sweetie Belle [belting]: Hush now, quiet now, it's time to lay your sleepy head,

said, hush now, quiet now, it's time to go to bed ... Fluttershy: Okay, Sweetie, that was -- Sweetie Belle [still belting]: Drifting off to sleep, exciting day behind you,

drifting off to sleep, let the joy of daylight find you ... Fluttershy: Thank you, Sweetie, um -- Sweetie Belle [still belting, even faster]: Hush now, quiet now, lay your sleepy

head, said hush now, quiet now, it's time to go to beeeeed -- ow! [chickens clucking and flapping] Scootaloo: What is that? [chickens squawking] Fluttershy: [gasps] Girls! Apple Bloom: Fluttershy, your chickens are on the loose! Sweetie Belle: I wonder what could have caused that ... Scootaloo: Don't worry, Fluttershy! The Cutie Mark Crusaders will handle

this! Sweetie Belle: Cutie Mark Crusader chicken herders! Cutie Mark Crusaders: Yay! [rush of air, more chicken clucking] Fluttershy: No, I don't think that's a -- ah, come back! Please! [Cutie Mark Crusaders giggling, more chicken flapping and squawking] Fluttershy: Come on, girls, the chickens are fine -- oh, girls, um ... GIRLS! [chickens flapping and clucking] Fluttershy: Come on, in you go ... [eerie music] Fluttershy: There's some good chickens. Okay, you three. Isn't it about time

you got into bed? Cutie Mark Crusaders: But -- Fluttershy: Please?

Fluttershy: So, no more crusading for tonight, all right? Scootaloo: Yes, Fluttershy! Sweetie Belle: We promise, Fluttershy! Apple Bloom: Good night, Fluttershy! Fluttershy: Okay, good night. Sweetie Belle: Okay, so what kind of crusading do we do next? Apple Bloom: There's not much we can do from this room ... unless we become

Cutie Mark Crusader cottage-cleaners. Sweetie Belle: N-no, thanks. Apple Bloom: Well, we have to think of something. We can't just waste this

opportunity to find out what our special talents are. Hey, girls! Look! Some of

the chickens may have escaped! Scootaloo: Into the forest! Cutie Mark Crusaders [whispering]: Cutie Mark Crusaders chicken rescuers

are go! Fluttershy: [sighs] It really wasn't THAT hard ... I mean, all I needed to do was

just show them who's in charge. Nothing's gonna get past Fluttershy! Good

with animals, good with kids. [quiet galloping, tearing fabric] Scootaloo [whispering]: Wait up!

Fluttershy: Mmm, peace and quiet. [gasps] Too quiet. [gasps] Girls? Girls?

Elizabeak! She's missing! GIRLS? [gasps] Oh, no!  They must have gone

looking for my missing chicken! Which means ... they must have gone into ...

[gasps, gulps] The Everfree Forest!

Fluttershy: Those girls have really done it this time! They've really bitten off

more than they can chew! Oh, just like me! I never should have offered to

watch them ... [draws a deep breath]

Apple Bloom: Here, chick-chick-chick-chick-chick! Brawck, brawck brawck

brawck, brawk! Scootaloo: What are you doing? Apple Bloom: Calling for the chicken! Scootaloo: That is not how you call a chicken! Apple Bloom: Oh, and you know how to call a chicken? Scootaloo: I know that's not the way. Apple Bloom: Then show me. Scootaloo: I don't have to show you! Apple Bloom: You're just chicken! Scootaloo: Am not! Apple Bloom: Oh, wait, now I know how to call a chicken! Scootaloo!

Scoot-scootalooooo! Scootaloo: That's so funny I forgot to laugh. Apple Bloom: You also forgot how to call a chicken. Scootaloo: Why, you ... Apple Bloom: [blows a raspberry] Sweetie Belle: Come on, guys, we're not gonna find the chicken or our Cutie

Marks by arguing. Apple Bloom: Maybe that's our special talent. Arguing! Scootaloo: Is not! Apple Bloom: Is too! Scootaloo: Is not! Apple Bloom: Is too! Anything yet? Scootaloo: Nope. Apple Bloom: Darn. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom: [giggle] [wind blows] Apple Bloom: Heeeere, chick-chick-chick-chick, bwock, bwock bwock bwock

bwock bwock b-bwooock!

[wind blowing] Fluttershy [strained whisper]: Girls? [gulps] Girls? [tiny terrified squeak] Oh!

Get a hold of yourself, Fluttershy. Just put one hoof in front of the other. [twig snaps] Fluttershy: Ahh! What was that? [thump] Fluttershy: [screams] [rush of air, clattering hooves] Fluttershy: Twilight? I-is that you? Oh, Twilight, it is you. Thank goodness

you're here. I need your help. The girls are out here somewhere, and I'm

afraid that they're -- [gasps] Oh! What's happened to you? [screams] [Twilight thumps heavily over] Fluttershy: Oh, no! If you've been turned to stone, it must mean -- oh! oh, no,

the girls! Don't move; I'll be back for you. GIRLS!

Scootaloo: Is not! Apple Bloom: Is too! Scootaloo: Is not! Apple Bloom: Is too! Sweetie Belle: Girls! Our special talent is NOT arguing. Besides, what would

the Cutie Mark of somepony whose talent is arguing even LOOK like? Fluttershy: Girls? Girls? Sweetie Belle: Fluttershy? Fluttershy: Girls? Thank goodness I found you! Apple Bloom: Fluttershy, what -- Fluttershy: Girls, we have to leave the forest at once! Sweetie Belle: But ... we haven't found the chicken yet! Fluttershy: There's no time for that. There's a cockatrice on the loose! Apple Bloom: A cockawhat now? Fluttershy: A cockatrice! It's a frightening creature with the head of a chicken

and the body of a snake. Now, come on! Scootaloo: The head of a chicken and the body of a snake? That doesn't

sound scary, that sounds silly! Apple Bloom: Well, if I ever saw one of them cockathingies face-to-face, I'd

laugh at how silly it was. Fluttershy: NO! Never look one in the eye. If you look a cockatrice in the eye -- [brush rustling, a chicken cluck] Apple Bloom: The chicken! Fluttershy: Girls! Wait! Cutie Mark Crusaders: Here, chick-chick-chick-chick-chick! [chicken clucking, suddenly cut off by a growl] Sweetie Belle: There he is! Scootaloo: Two chickens? Apple Bloom: I thought only one escaped! Sweetie Belle: Grab them both! [chicken clucking, brush rustling, a roar that ends in a deeper squawk, frantic

chicken clucking, a heavy thud] Cutie Mark Crusaders: [scream] [thumps] Cutie Mark Crusaders: [gasp] Fluttershy: See? Now we have to -- Cutie Mark Crusaders: [screaming] Fluttershy: Girls, please. Girls -- now listen to me, girls, I -- please! [more screaming, cockatrice squawking] Fluttershy: GIRLS! Behind me, NOW! [cockatrice squawking, then roaring] Fluttershy: YOU! Just who do you think you are, going around turning others

into stone? Cockatrice: [dismayed squawk] Fluttershy: You should be ASHAMED of yourself. I have 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? Cockatrice: [dismayed squawking] Fluttershy: Are you girls all right? I was so worried! Scootaloo: Yeah, fine! Sweetie Belle: Thanks to that stare of yours. Scootaloo: You're like the queen of stares. You're the -- Cutie Mark Crusaders [shouting]: Stare Master! Sweetie Belle: We're sorry we snuck out of the house and into the forest. Apple Bloom: Yeah. We'll listen to you from now on. Scootaloo: We promise. Fluttershy: Oh, you DO, do you? Well, you better, or I'll give you ... the Stare. [giggling] Twilight Sparkle: What -- what happened? [chicken squawking]

Cutie Mark Crusaders: [giggling] Fluttershy: And that's when it brought you back from stone. 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: [laughs] 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. Twilight Sparkle: You and Rarity both. Good morning, Rarity. Fluttershy: Did you finish all those capes? Rarity: [sighs] Just delivered them. I have to admit, if you hadn't come along, I

might not have. Thanks again! Fluttershy: Won't you stay for some tea? Rarity: I really must get back to the shop and clean up. Girls! Get your things.

Time to go. ... girls! Cutie Mark Crusaders: [giggling, calling to each other] Rarity [increasing in volume]: Girls! Time to -- Girls! Your things! Girls! It's

time to -- GIRLS! Fluttershy: Allow me. [clears throat] Girls? Apple Bloom: Yes, Fluttershy. Scootaloo: You called? Fluttershy: Go and get your things. Rarity is here to see you home. Sweetie Belle: Of course, Fluttershy! Right away! Rarity: Ah, huh, ah -- how did you -- how did you do that? Fluttershy: I guess I'm just as good with kids as I am with animals. Cutie Mark Crusaders: Thank you, Fluttershy! Bye! [indistinct chatter] Rarity: Ah, uh, speaking of which, I could use your help with Opal. Fluttershy: Of course. How about later today? [Opal yowls] Rarity: How about now? [strains] [Opal yowls] Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy: [laugh]
