Transcripts/The Cutie Map - Part 2


 * [Previously on My Little Pony]


 * Twilight Sparkle: [snoring]
 * [splat]

Mane Six except Twilight Sparkle: [snoring]
 * [rumbling]

Spike: Dah! What's happening?!
 * Spike: This is incredible! It's got all of Equestria!


 * Fluttershy: Why are our cutie marks over there?
 * Twilight Sparkle: Seems like the map wants us to find out.


 * Twilight Sparkle: An entire village with the same cutie mark?


 * Starlight Glimmer: Welcome!


 * Fluttershy: This must be the most pleasant place in Equestria!


 * Starlight Glimmer: I'm delighted you're interested in our cutie mark vault.


 * Twilight Sparkle: It's a trap!


 * Twilight Sparkle: [groaning]


 * Starlight Glimmer: Now you can spend the rest of your lives here without your cutie marks!


 * [theme song]


 * Starlight Glimmer: [slightly muffled, over loudspeaker] In sameness, there is peace. Exceptionalism is a lie.
 * [door pounding]
 * Starlight Glimmer: Free yourself from your cutie mark. Choose equality as your special talent.
 * Rainbow Dash: [over] [grunting]
 * Starlight Glimmer: [voice fades under] Difference is frustration. To excel is to fail. [under] Be your best by never being your best.
 * Rarity: [crying]
 * [pulsing noise]
 * Rarity: [crying] So do I!
 * [bird tweets]
 * [bird tweets]
 * [pulsing noise]
 * [bird tweets]
 * Applejack: [grunts]
 * [pulsing noise]
 * Applejack: ...uh,
 * [pulsing noise]
 * Starlight Glimmer: [fading up, echoing] ...Choose equality as your special talent. Difference is frustration. To excel is to fail. Be your best by never being your best. Conformity will set you free. Accept your limitations, and happiness will follow. You're no better than your friends. [abruptly fades back under]
 * Rest of main cast: [exclamations of surprise]
 * Rainbow Dash: [sighs]
 * [pulsing noise]
 * Fluttershy: [gulping]
 * [loudspeaker feedback]
 * Starlight Glimmer: [over loudspeaker] Oh, good morning!
 * [door opens]
 * Starlight Glimmer: I trust you had a pleasant night? This way, please. There are some friends who'd like to see you. Gather round, friends, gather round! We've come to ask if any of you are ready to join us! There are so many friends to be made once you realize you don't need your cutie marks or the talents that come with them.
 * Double Diamond: We have a welcome ceremony for new friends! The whole village joins together to build you your own cottage—
 * "Sunny Song": Please, join us!
 * "Rosemary": We love new friends!
 * Starlight Glimmer: It's all right, everypony. This is a perfectly normal part of the equalization process for those who haven't... quite seen the light yet. We'll try again tomorrow once you've had a bit more time to consider our philosophy!
 * Fluttershy: I'd like to join!
 * [ponies chattering]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Fluttershy? How could you?!
 * Fluttershy: If giving up my cutie mark means I get to stay in this lovely village with these lovely ponies, then I'll do it.
 * [door shuts]
 * Starlight Glimmer: We have a new friend, everypony!
 * [ponies chattering]
 * Starlight Glimmer: Now, there's one more order of business. It seems some in our midst might be... dissatisfied with the village life!
 * [ponies gasping]
 * Starlight Glimmer: Unfortunately, it's all too true, my friends! [to Fluttershy] Will you kindly tell us the names of those friends who so desperately miss their cutie marks that they would sneak around in the shadows talking to strangers about it? Just so we can be sure your intentions are indeed pure.
 * Fluttershy: [gulps]


 * Fluttershy: Um,
 * Starlight Glimmer: Nonsense! Obviously these ponies must have asked you directly. Kindly point them out!
 * Party Favor: It was me! It was only me! But I only wanted it back for a little while!
 * Starlight Glimmer: And you're quite certain it was only you?
 * Party Favor: I just wanted to remember what it was like.
 * Starlight Glimmer: And no thought to the pain you'd cause your friends. Such selfishness.
 * Party Favor: I'm sorry, everypony! I never wanted to leave the village! I love all of—
 * [door shuts]
 * Party Favor: What was I thinking?! I can't believe I even considered asking for my cutie mark back. Didn't you see what just happened out there?! Your friend has accepted our way! You will allaccept our way! It's only a matter of time!
 * [loudspeaker crackles]
 * Starlight Glimmer: [over loudspeaker] To excel is to fail. [continues under]


 * "Rocky Storm": Welcome!
 * S05E01 Unnamed Pegasus Mare #3: Welcome!
 * S05E01 Unnamed Unicorn Stallion #4: Welcome!
 * Fluttershy: Gosh, you really are the nicest ponies I've ever met.
 * Starlight Glimmer: Come. All new friends stay with me until their cottage is completed. Let's get you settled, and then you can enjoy all that our little village has to offer.


 * [rumbling]
 * Fluttershy: [coughing] Brrrrrr! [sighs]


 * Spike: Thorax, uh, excuse me for a second.
 * Starlight Glimmer: Excellent work, Double Diamond.
 * Double Diamond: Of course, but I don't understand why you wanted me to bring them here. Fluttershy is one of us now. Surely she can be trusted.
 * Starlight Glimmer: This one belongs to a princess. It could be very important to our cause.
 * Double Diamond: But if Twilight Sparkle becomes our friend, then why do we care about this old cutie mark?
 * Starlight Glimmer: I just want to keep them close until everything is... settled. You may go, Double Diamond.
 * [door shuts]
 * [crash]
 * Starlight Glimmer: Ow!
 * [bucket rolling]
 * Starlight Glimmer: Ugh!
 * Fluttershy: [gasps]

GBF Jr: (GBF Jr. now looks at the closet door.) Why's that opened? Break time's over.Fluttershy: Oh, no... Spike: No! Twilight Sparkle: Uh-oh! [whimpers]


 * Starlight Glimmer: I've got a good feeling about today! So, do any of you have anything you'd like to say? Aw, pity. Well, let's try this again tomorrow, shall we? No new friends today, I'm afraid!
 * Fluttershy: Wait! Skips: Wait!
 * Fluttershy: I'd like to lock them in.
 * Starlight Glimmer: Marvelous, Fluttershy! That's the spirit! Party Favor, will you join us, please?
 * Party Favor: I'm sorry, Starlight! I'm sorry, everypony! I've seen the error of my ways! I never want to look at my cutie mark again!
 * Starlight Glimmer: It seems there's cause for celebration after all!
 * Crowd: Hooray! [cheering]
 * Party Favor: They tried to break me! They wouldn't stop talking about how different they are, and that somehow makes their friendship stronger!
 * Starlight Glimmer: Such backwards thinking.
 * Party Favor: But I didn't listen! I knew what they were up to, and I didn't listen!
 * Starlight Glimmer: Well done, Party Favor! We welcome you back with open hooves!
 * Fluttershy: Um, Starlight? I think we might have one more friend joining us today.
 * [crowd gasps]
 * Starlight Glimmer: Is this true?
 * Twilight Sparkle: I-I think so. But I just want to be sure. If I agree to leave my cutie mark in the vault, I'll really be happier?
 * Starlight Glimmer: Just look around! Equality has given us more happiness than you've ever known!
 * Twilight Sparkle: And you wouldn't let me just live here in the village with my old cutie mark?
 * Starlight Glimmer: Out of the question. A pony with a different cutie mark in our midst would destroy our entire philosophy. We are all equal here!
 * [crowd muttering]
 * Fluttershy: Then how do you explain this?!
 * [splash]
 * Starlight Glimmer: I knew you couldn't be trusted! No! Get away!
 * [crowd gasps]
 * Starlight Glimmer: Wha... What are you looking at?! They're the problem, not me!
 * Party Favor: How could you?
 * Double Diamond: You said cutie marks were evil! You said special talents led to pain and heartache!
 * Starlight Glimmer: They do! Don't you see?! Look at them!
 * Sugar Belle: Then why? Why did you take ours and not give up your own?
 * Starlight Glimmer: I... I had to, you fools! How could I collect your cutie marks without my magic?!
 * Night Glider: But the staff has all the magic we need!
 * Starlight Glimmer: The staff is a piece of wood I found in the desert! It's my magic that makes all this possible! You'd all still be living your miserable lives thinking you're better than everypony else if it weren't for my magical abilities! I brought you friendship! I brought you equality! I created harmony!
 * Double Diamond: You lied to us!
 * Starlight Glimmer: So what? E-Everything else I said is true! The only way to be happy is if we're all equal!
 * Party Favor: Except for you.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Everypony has unique talents and gifts, and when we share them with each other, that's how rea—
 * Starlight Glimmer: QUIET!
 * Sugar Belle: You can't have a cutie mark, Starlight! Either we're all equal, or none of us are!
 * [door shuts]
 * Double Diamond: Come on! Let's get our cutie marks back!
 * Crowd: Yeah! [shouted agreement]


 * [pounding]
 * Double Diamond: Stand back, everypony!
 * [glass cracking]
 * [magical zaps]
 * Rarity: Even without my cutie mark, I can tell this is beautiful!
 * Starlight Glimmer: They think they can come to my village and disrupt my life? Let's see how they like spending the rest of their lives without their precious cutie marks!
 * Applejack: [grunting]
 * Rarity: [grunting]
 * [whistling]
 * Night Glider: Stand back, everypony!
 * [crunch]
 * [glass breaks]
 * [door opens]

Benson: Where'd he go?!


 * Party Favor: [blows up balloon]
 * [balloon squeaking]
 * Party Favor: She's headed for the pass! If she makes it into those mountains, we'll never find her!
 * Pinkie Pie: These are amazing!
 * Sugar Belle: There's a whole network of caves up there! Your cutie marks will be gone forever!
 * [pulsing noise]
 * Rainbow Dash: Oh, come on! Benson (continued): Ah, come on!


 * [jars rattling]
 * Starlight Glimmer: Are you all so willing to give up everything because of these strangers?!
 * [snow thudding]
 * Sugar Belle: We gave up everything for you, because we thought you were our friend!


 * Sugar Belle: My newest recipe – snow pie!
 * [thud]
 * [explosion]
 * [balloon squeaking]
 * [balloons stretching]
 * Rainbow Dash: She's gonna get away!

Anonymous #4: They're getting away!
 * Double Diamond: Whoa! These are my old skis! This is where I first met Starlight!
 * Night Glider: Maybe you can reminisce another time! She's almost to the caves!
 * Double Diamond: Feel like an air drop?
 * [skiing noises]
 * [snow thudding]
 * [glass breaking]
 * [magical zaps]
 * Applejack: Yee-haw! Finally, I can buck like a five-bit snake herder in an Appleloosa ranch house again!
 * Fluttershy: And you got your countryisms back, too!
 * [magic zap]
 * Starlight Glimmer: Wh– I studied that spell for years! How can you—
 * Twilight Sparkle: I studied magic for years too! But what I didn't know then was that studying could only take me so far. Each of my friends has taught me something different about myself! It was their unique gifts and passions and personalities that helped bring out the magic inside of me! I never would have learned that I represent the element of magic without these five! And I certainly wouldn't be here to stop you now!
 * Starlight Glimmer: Spare me your sentimental nonsense! I gave these ponies real friendships they never could've had otherwise!
 * Double Diamond: How do you know that?! You never even gave us a chance!
 * [magic zap]
 * Rainbow Dash: She's getting away!
 * Double Diamond: We'll never find her in there!
 * Twilight Sparkle: We just have to hope that when she's had a chance to think it over, she realizes that you all have taught her something.
 * Party Favor: It's you who have taught us something. We all came to this village because we were searching for something missing from our lives. We thought Starlight had given it to us, but now... now it seems it was in front of us all along. It's us!
 * Twilight Sparkle: Does that mean you'll stay in the village?
 * Night Glider: It's our home. I'm not going anywhere.
 * Double Diamond: This is a chance for all of us to get to know each other again for the very first time!
 * Sugar Belle: And I finally have a chance to bake something besides terrible muffins!
 * All: [laughing]


 * [ponies laughing and chattering]
 * [Wilhelm scream]
 * Pinkie Pie: Now those are real smiles.
 * [cutie marks pulsing]
 * Applejack: I'll never get used to that.
 * Rarity: I think it's divine.
 * Spike: [laughing]
 * [spikes shimmering]
 * Fluttershy: Does that mean that the map is calling us somewhere else?
 * Twilight Sparkle: I have a feeling it means our work here is done.

Spike: No way! It's finally happening! I solved the friendship problem!
 * Applejack: Looks like you were right, Twilight. The map did have a reason for sendin' us here. We brought real friendship to these here ponies. Guess that's why you're the Princess of Friendship.
 * Twilight Sparkle: But the map didn't send me. It sent us. You're a part of me, all of you. And there's no doubt you're a part of my mission to spread friendship too.
 * Main cast: [laughing]

Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike: [giggling]
 * Pinkie Pie: This feels like an ending! It doesn't have to be an ending yet, right? 'Cause that Sugar Belle can bake!
 * Twilight Sparkle: Maybe we can stay a little while longer.

Benson: So let's crack open some cold ones! They're up in the attic,
 * Twilight Sparkle: Come on! Benson: Come on!
