Annie Bramley quotes from It's Pony

Pony

Where are we going?

Annie Bramley

To make our dreams come true.

Pony

I got into unicorn school!?

Annie

The farmer's market!

Annie

Dad, we missed the bus! Can you give me a ride to school?

George

[grunts] He got me! The scruffy stowaway hijacked my truck! He must have been hiding in the empty boxes I picked up at the pet store! [kicks a box] (Sorry, what were you saying, Annie?)

Annie

(Uh, never mind.) Looks like we're walking. Come on, Pony. You made me late, you have to walk with me.

Pony

Hey, you know I'm no good with things that pop. Balloons, bubbles, that guy's head in that horror movie…

Hey, guys, need a ride?

Pony

[whispering] It's Beatrice.

Annie

Oh, come on, she's not so bad. Let's just be nice to her. I'm sure she won't…

[squeezing Pony] Squeeze! You are so adorable! I love cats and dogs and birds and chinchillas, but especially horses!

Annie

Look, I found dad's old tent! Help me figure out how to put it up.

Pony

[grunting] As soon as I get this bear trap open.

Annie

It's not a bear trap, it's a camp chair.

Pony

Pretty sure it's a trap.

George

Are you sure it's okay with the school for Pony to go on the camping trip?

Pony

[with his head stuck inside the camping chair] I'm a chaperone!

George

No, you're not!

Annie

It's definitely okay. It's a nature weekend, and he loves nature!

Pony

And nature loves me, we're old friends. It'll be great to catch up! I can't wait!

George

Fine, it'll be nice to have some peace and quiet around here for a change.

Annie

This trip is going to be so great, everybody's going! Clara, Gerry, Heston. We'll probably stay up late telling ghost stories! Do I know a ghost story? I need to learn a ghost story.

Annie

[sighs] Another place we're banned from.

Pony

This means we can go on the camping trip after all!

Annie

I don't see how, everybody's tents are ruined.

Pony

Not everyone's tent. [Annie and her friends go camping at a campsite] This is the life, I love connecting with nature.

There's room in the hot tub.

Pony

[throws his cotton candy] My turn! [runs to the hot tub] Cannonball!

Don't do it!

No!

We need a new chaperone.

George

[from inside] Pony, why would you ever…?! [grunts] Oh, my god! Pony!!

Annie

What did you do?

Pony

I'll tell you when you're older.

Annie

Tell me now!

Pony

You'll just get mad and throw lettuce at me like Dad did.

Annie

So it was something to do with lettuce, so something with Dad?

Annie

Will you please tell me what you did?

Annie, Pony! Check out my cool trick! [slides then falls]

Pony

[whispers] What should we do?

Annie

[whispers] I don't know, clap? [she and Pony do so]

Oh, stop. I'm still working on it, okay? What are you guys up to?

Annie

Not much. We had to leave the house kind of suddenly, so here we are.

What happened? [Pony whispers in his ear] Eww… Is that even possible? Maybe you should come live with me from now on.

Pony

Might be best.

Pony

Unicorns can fly?

Annie

Probably, but come on. We need to save our court. There’s a whole line of kids waiting to meet you. Let’s go back and make them happy! What do ya say? (Pony?) [sees Pony outside]

Pony

Unicorns can fly! [jumps off and does tricks] Oh, yeah! Woo!

Annie

I was wrong! Your plan was not fine!

Pony

I told you it wasn’t ready!

Annie

Now I remember why I make the plans!

Pony

Okay, okay. I’ll make a better one.

Annie

Pony, whose boat is this?

Pony

Carl and… [to the woman] (What was your name again?)

(It's) Leanne.

Pony

(Thanks for that.) [back to Annie] It's Carl and Leanne's boat. [whispers] They're on a date.

Annie

If we're not allowed in, we'll have to break him out.

Pony

I’ll bust the door down. Stand back. Hang on. Let me try again. Phew! This is harder than it looks.

Annie

I didn't know you can change a flat tire.

Pony

There's a lot you don't know about me, Annie.

Annie

Really, like what?

Pony

Well, for example, did you know I can change a flat tire?

Annie

Yes. You just said that.

Pony

Oh, then we're up to date.

Annie

Pony, you did it! (You saved my life… and the truck.)

Pony

Didn't need a piano.

Annie

[hugs Pony] Ohh...

George

Annie! Ah, you're safe. (Come to Daddy. Were you scared?)

Helen

Thanks, Pony. That was amazing. You saved Annie.

Pony

Does that you (or mostly Dad) won't make me live in the dumpster with Old Barry?

George

What? (Why would you say that?)

Annie

We're afraid you were gonna get rid of Pony because he wasn't useful.

Helen

We would never do that. (Especially your father, Annie.) Pony's a part of the family.

George

[to Pony] (She's right. Just because I got mad at you at being useless, it doesn't mean I'll get rid of you.) Besides, you might not be that good of looking after melons, but... you pretty good of looking my girl, so that's one thing.

Pony

♪ Today's the day, so get there early. ♪ [taps the truck] ♪ Don't miss out on Swirly Shirley. ♪

Annie

Swirly Shirley is the most delicious milkshake ever created, and it's only sold one day of the year.

George

Never heard of it.

Annie

You must have at least heard the song. Pony's been singing it all day.

Pony

♪ If your hair is straight or curly.

♪ ...Swirly Shirley. ♪

George

That's Pony? I thought that was a busted radio.

Annie

He's stuck on repeat.

Helen

It's been a while since we had a day at the mall.

George

A day? I don't wanna spend the whole day there.

Helen

Oh, no, me neither. A card for Mrs. Okaba, and that's it. Maybe a few samples at the food court.

George

Ah, then we will be there all day.

Pony

♪ Whirly, today's the day, so get there early. ♪

Annie

Where is it, where is it?!

Pony

♪ Like your milkshake- ♪

Annie

There! It's right there at the other end! We have to get all the way to here. This place is a maze of distractions. This may be the hardest thing we've ever had to do.

Pony

Huh, not the hardest thing we've had to do.

Annie

And we've got 8 minutes left! We're the best. Quick, let's drink it and get back.

Pony

No, no, stop, don't rush it. We need to savor the Swirly Shirley.

Annie

Then let's go back to the truck first and enjoy it there.

Pony

Okay, good plan, let's go. ♪ Get yourself a Swirly Shirley ♪

Annie

How can you possibly sleep through this racket?

Pony

[yawning] I find it soothing. If anything, I'm sleeping better since she started.

Annie

Of all the instruments Marti could take up, the tuba?

Pony

It’s like a whale is singing me a lullaby.

Annie

This is driving me crazy! I need sleep. Oh, maybe it's quieter in Mom and Dad's room.
