Rainbow Dash quotes from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Rainbow Dash

That pony is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an igneous.

Don't you mean "inside an enigma"?

Rainbow Dash

No. I mean "igneous". It's a kind of rock. Ask me how I know that.

Twilight Sparkle

It's a test! A test that will determine if you can join the newly-formed Wonderbolts Reserves, and being part of the Reserves means you'll have the opportunity to live your dream as a Wonderbolt! This is the most important test of your life!

Rainbow Dash

Twilight, not everypony gets all freaked out about tests like you.

Twilight Sparkle

I do not get "all freaked out" about tests!

Rainbow Dash

Seriously? Your freakouts are so epic, you sing whole freakout arias about freaking out!

Twilight Sparkle

Fine, I may tend to take my tests a little seriously, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be studying for yours!

Twilight Sparkle

Reading and highlighting is the foundation of any good study method. It allows the student to hone in and boil down on what's really important, separating the good from the bad, the wheat from the chaff, getting to the crux of things. Let's see what you've got so far.

Twilight Sparkle

Hm, by highlighting everything you don't really separate the wheat from the chaff... Or the good from the bad. Hey, I am not that tall!

Rainbow Dash

[giggles]

Twilight Sparkle

Yes, Rainbow?

Rainbow Dash

Is it snack time?

Twilight Sparkle

No.

Rainbow Dash

Recess?

Twilight Sparkle

No.

Rainbow Dash

[sighs] Can't we just watch the history of the Wonderbolts movie?!

Twilight Sparkle

No!

Twilight Sparkle

The initials EUP stand for what?

Rainbow Dash

Ernie's Undercooked Pancakes.

Twilight Sparkle

The original aerial team performed for...?

Rainbow Dash

Celestia's cereal celebration.

Twilight Sparkle

The Wonderbolts were given their name by this famous Pegasus. Who is she? [to herself] Please don't say Colonel Waffle...

Rainbow Dash

Hello? General Blazing Donut Glaze! So, did I ace it or what?

Twilight Sparkle

Or what. You didn't get one answer correct.

Rainbow Dash

What? But- but how?

Twilight Sparkle

I don't know. I've never heard answers so wrong! And so breakfast-related!

Rainbow Dash

[stomach growls]

Rainbow Dash

I'm gonna fail! I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna fail! And it's all your fault!

Twilight Sparkle

My fault?! I'm the one helping you!

Rainbow Dash

Maybe your famous study methods aren't all they're cracked up to be, eh, teacher?!

Twilight Sparkle

Excuse me, I've used them to study for many a-test, and passed!

Rainbow Dash

Yeah, right.

Twilight Sparkle

Do you know the name of the Wonderbolts' premiere choreographer?

Rainbow Dash

Well...

Twilight Sparkle

Commander Easyglider! Do you know how many Pegasi flew in the original squad? Seven! Do you know Princess Celestia's favorite flight pattern?! The Icaranean Sun Salutation! See? I could pass the test!

Rainbow Dash

Fine! Rub it in, why don't ya? Besides, I don't see why I have to take this lousy test anyway. I've proven I'm one of the best flyers around.

Twilight Sparkle

Knowing their origin and being able to properly represent them for all of Equestria is just as important!

Rainbow Dash

Yeah, right. Some history buff like you must have made that up to bring us flyers down!

Twilight Sparkle

Knowing history actually is beneficial, Rainbow!

Rainbow Dash

Beneficial for eggheads!

Fluttershy

(watching from below) Girls...?

Twilight Sparkle

Well, this egghead knows history and can fly! Maybe I should become a Wonderbolt!

Rainbow Dash

Just 'cause you got wings, doesn't mean you can fly!

Fluttershy

Girls!?

Twilight Sparkle

You're barely able to just get off the ground!

Fluttershy

GIRLS! STOP! Now, is that any way to talk to a friend?

Twilight Sparkle

Sorry.

Rainbow Dash

Yeah, sorry.

Applejack

As in, "Discord" Discord?

Twilight Sparkle

Yes!

Fluttershy

I don't think it’s that big of a surprise. He can be very helpful.

Twilight Sparkle

He can sense when there’s a magical imbalance. The next time Tirek steals magic, Discord will be able to track him down.

Rainbow Dash

So what are you supposed to do in the meantime?

Twilight Sparkle

(sighs) Nothing. Unless of course, one of you needs me to smile and wave.

Twilight Sparkle

I think I found something! I've been reading our journal, and there's something interesting about the sections Discord bookmarked. Applejack, do you remember when you had to tell everypony that the tonic Granny bought from the Flim Flam brothers didn't really work?

Applejack

How could I forget? It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do.

Applejack

And in that moment, I knew I had to be honest, I just knew it. But what's that got to do with openin' the chest?

Twilight Sparkle

I've found that each of you has had to face a situation where living up to the Element of Harmony you represent wasn't easy. Fluttershy, it was when you realized that the way to show kindness to the Breezies was by forcing them to leave their home.

Twilight Sparkle

Rarity, even after Suri took advantage of your generosity at Fashion Week in Manehattan, you didn't let it cause you to abandon your generous spirit.

I simply couldn't have lived with myself if I didn't do something special for the friends who have always been so generous to me!

Twilight Sparkle

Rainbow Dash, you had the chance to fly with the Wonderbolts at the Equestria Games, But instead you chose to compete with your friends.

Rainbow Dash

Sure, but being loyal to my friends was way --

Pinkie Pie

Ooh! My turn, my turn!

Twilight Sparkle

Pinkie Pie, you realized that seeing your friend laugh was more important than proving you were a better party planner than Cheese Sandwich.

Pinkie Pie

Best party I've ever had!

It's clear we've all had our moments to shine, Twilight. But I'm with Applejack; what does any of this have to do with the opening of the chest?

Twilight Sparkle

All of you had tough choices to make, but when you made the right one and embraced your element, it helped somepony else make the right choice too. Each of you received something from the pony whose life you helped change. I know it sounds crazy, but maybe there's something special about those objects that could lead us to the location of the keys. The chest is connected to the Tree of Harmony. The Tree is connected to the Elements. And the Elements are connected to all of us! There must be a connection! I hate to admit it, but maybe Discord was trying to be a good friend after all.

Twilight

Let's go through this one more time

Rainbow Dash

We've been over it like 1,000,000 times, Twilight! We've found all 6 keys, defeated Tirek, and got this sweet castle. End of story.

Twilight

Yes, but why?

Applejack

I dunno, Sugarcube. Maybe it's just your new house and there ain't nothing more to it than that.

Starlight

Wh– I studied that spell for years! How can you—

Twilight

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

Spare me your sentimental nonsense! I gave these ponies real friendships they never could've had otherwise!

How do you know that?! You never even gave us a chance!

Rainbow Dash

She's getting away!

We'll never find her in there!

Twilight

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.

Fluttershy

What do we do now?

I hate to be the bearer of more bad news, but it’s almost sunset! We don’t figure this out soon, it’s going to look like we didn't lift a hoof to help her!

Rainbow Dash

Why is this so hard? We’re Twilight’s best friends. This should be easy for us.

Applejack

She said it herself. If anypony should be able to make her feel comfortable in her new home, it's us. If we can’t do it...

Fluttershy

Then Twilight will be stuck living in a castle that just makes her feel...sad.

Wow, Fluttershy! I didn’t know you could be loud enough to echo!

Rainbow Dash

Come on! You're practically twins!

Spike

I'm purple.

Rainbow Dash

But if you don't have to hibernate, why should Tank?!

Spike

Because he's a tortoise and I'm a dragon!

Rainbow Dash

Same family though, right?

Spike

No!

Rainbow Dash

I'll take that as a yes.

Whatcha reading, Rainbow?

Rainbow Dash

[sighs] Twilight literally wrote a book on what we need to do in Griffonstone.

You mean, like, a guide on how to figure out what problem we're supposed to fix?

Rainbow Dash

And then some. It's like Twilight herself in book form! [imitating Twilight, complete with a matching hairstyle] "Always carry plenty of bits! The griffons are sure to help you as long as you share the wealth!"

Rainbow Dash

The Idol!

Gilda

You're more important to me than some dumb chunk of gold.

Hugging later, climbing now!

Gilda

I'm sorry about how I treated you two.

Rainbow Dash

No thanks, Gilda.

Apology not accepted.

Rainbow Dash

And I'm just sorry we didn't get your Idol back. Now we'll never be able to solve Griffonstone's problem.

That's what I was trying to tell you! The map didn't send us here to find the lost Idol of Boreas; it sent us here to replace it with something better!

Gilda

Nothing's better than gold to a griffon.

That's because you don't have friendship! If you can learn to care about each other again, Griffonstone could be a mightier kingdom than it ever was before! And you don't need some golden idol to do that. You just need each other.

Rainbow Dash

Whoa, Pinkie, that was... really sappy.

Eh, what can I say? That's how I roll.
