Transcripts/The Best Night Ever


 * Pinkie Pie: Ahh! I... can't... believe... the Grand... Galloping... Gala... is... tonight!
 * Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie! Please stop shouting, I'm trying to concentrate.
 * Rarity: Pinkie Pie! Stop that right now. It's time to prepare for the Gala, and I refuse to let you put on your new dress when you're all sweaty.
 * Pinkie Pie: What's Twilight doing?
 * Spike: She's got an awesome magic spell she's been working on for the Gala.
 * Rarity: Where are the others? It's getting late.
 * Applejack: Hold your horses, girl. We're here.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Perfect! I'm ready.
 * Rainbow Dash: For what?
 * Twilight Sparkle: All right, Spike.
 * Pinkie Pie: An apple! Are we having pie?
 * Spike: Shh! Watch!
 * [collective: Awesome! Wow! Lovely!]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Thanks. But that's just the start. Fluttershy, did you bring your friends?
 * Fluttershy: Yes. Will they be safe, Twilight?
 * Twilight Sparkle: You have my word.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Ta-da!
 * [collective: Oh. Uh. Ah. That's a choice. Interesting.]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Neat, huh? And don't worry. They'll be mice again at midnight.
 * Fluttershy: Opalescence, no!
 * ["mouse-horses" neighing]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Wait! Come back! Those horses were supposed to pull our carriage. How will we get to the Gala?
 * Rarity: Whatever shall we do?
 * Rarity: Uh... ahem. Excuse me. Uh, would you boys mind pulling our carriage to the Gala?


 * Twilight Sparkle: Oh. Yeah. Right.


 * [theme song]


 * Pinkie Pie: Ooh!
 * Spike: Come on, you guys. Let me in!
 * Rainbow Dash: Sure thing, Spike.
 * Rarity: Heavens no! We're getting dressed.
 * Applejack: Dressed? Uh, beg pardon, Rarity, but, uh... we don't normally wear clothes.
 * Rarity: [moan] I'm sorry, Spike. Some of us do have standards.
 * Spike: I still can't believe we're gonna be at Canterlot tonight. Our hometown, Twilight! And the best part is that we all get to hang out together all night long!
 * Rainbow Dash: Uh... I-I don't know, Spike.
 * Rarity: We'll just have to see.
 * Applejack: We're gonna be a mite busy.
 * Pinkie Pie: Busy having fun! [boing]
 * Spike: Oh. Okay.
 * Twilight Sparkle: Don't worry, Spike. We'll all get to spend some time together.
 * Spike: Great!


 * Spike: 'Cause I planned out my insider's tour of Canterlot. I've gotta show Rarity the crown jewels, and Applejack the Princess's golden apple tree. And Pinkie, we gotta go to my favorite donut shop.
 * [excited chatter inside carriage]
 * Spike: Then let's get moving! Hyah!
 * Caramel: Excuse me!?
 * Spike: Um... I...
 * Lucky Clover: If you weren't friends with our neighbor Rarity... Hmph.


 * Spike: Whoa! You all look... amazing!


 * Twilight Sparkle: I can't believe we're finally here. With all that we've imagined, the reality of this night is sure to make this... The Best Night Ever!

 * Princess Celestia: Yes. Me too, Twi... Oh, good evening! Welcome to the Gala. Which is why I... Ladies! Lovely to see you again.
 * Twilight Sparkle: [sigh] Looks like getting a chance to talk to the Princess is gonna be a magic trick in itself.


 * Applejack: First minute, first sale. Second... Fourth... Sixth... Sixtieth minute... no sales. [sigh] This ain't what I expected at all.

 * Rarity: Oh, of course it will.


 * Pinkie Pie: [gasp] [whispering] C'mon, everypony! I know what will make you shake those groove-thangs!


 * [Pinkie Pie]
 * You reach your right hoof in
 * You reach your right hoof out
 * You reach your right hoof in

 * Rarity: Two apple fritters, please.
 * Applejack: Two apple fritters comin' right up. That'll be four bits.
 * Rarity: Ahem.
 * Prince Blueblood: Ahem.
 * Rarity: Ahem!
 * Prince Blueblood: Ahem!
 * Rarity: [sigh] I'm going to have to pay, aren't I?
 * Applejack: It's okay, Rarity. I got you covered.
 * Rarity: Thank you, Applejack. At least somepony here has good manners.
 * Prince Blueblood: [barf] Oh! Fritters! Dumplings! Caramel apples! My royal lips have touched common carnival fare! I'm going to the buffet for some... hors d'oeuvres.
 * Applejack: Well, no wonder nopony wants my food. They're fillin' up on those fancy-schmancy vittles. Well, my down-home apples are plenty good enough for this crowd. I'll just dress 'em up a bit and prove it to 'em.


 * Fluttershy: I'll catch you yet, my pretties. Oh yes. As soon as one of you little birds or monkeys or bearstouches this net... you'll be mine! Mine! [evil laugh] Whoa!

 * Applejack: Okay, all you high-class ponies. Here's a highfalutin apple cake for your hoity-toity taste buds.
 * Pinkie Pie: Stage dive!
 * Rarity and Prince Blueblood: [scream]
 * Rarity: [angry growl] You, sir, are the most uncharming prince I have ever met! In fact, the only thing royal about you is that you are a royal pain!
 * Prince Blueblood: Ewww...! Uh, stay back! I just had myself groomed!
 * Rarity: Afraid to get dirty?! [babbles]
 * Prince Blueblood: [whimpering]
 * Rainbow Dash: This is my chance! Yes! Whoa!
 * [crash]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Well... it can't get any worse.
 * [rumbling]
 * [door opens]
 * [animals chattering]
 * Fluttershy: You're... going to love me!
 * [ponies screaming]
 * Twilight Sparkle: Um, um, uh... Eugh.
 * Princess Celestia: Run.
 * Twilight Sparkle: [whistles]


 * Pinkie Pie: Ooh! Rarity, your glass slipper! Now your prince is sure to find you.

 * Spike: Another donut! Extra sprinkles!
 * [bell rings]
 * Joe: Twilight Sparkle! Ha, ha. Long time no see.
 * Spike: Hey, how was the Gala? How was your best night ever?


 * Spike: That sounds like the worst night ever!
 * Everypony: It was! [laughter]
 * Twilight Sparkle: I just hope Princess Celestia isn't upset with us for ruining the Gala.
 * Princess Celestia: That was the best Grand Galloping Gala ever!
 * Everypony: Princess Celestia!
 * Twilight Sparkle: Pardon me, Princess, but tonight was just awful.
 * Princess Celestia: Oh, Twilight. The Grand Galloping Gala is always awful.
 * Twilight Sparkle: It is?
 * Princess Celestia: That is why I was thrilled you were all attending. I was hoping you could liven things up a bit. And while the evening may not have gone as you planned, I'm sure you'll agree that in the end it didn't turn out so bad for this group of friends.
 * Twilight Sparkle: You're right, Princess. Friends have a way of making even the worst of times into something pretty great.
 * Rainbow Dash: Yeah! Hanging out with friends!
 * Fluttershy: Talking!
 * Pinkie Pie: Laughing!
 * Spike: You mean doing exactly what I wanted to do the whole time?
 * Twilight Sparkle: Yes, Spike. You were right.
 * Applejack: As horrible as our night was...
 * Rarity: ...being together here has made it all better.
 * Pinkie Pie: In fact, it's made it...
 * All sans Celestia: ...the best night ever!
 * All: [laughter]
