Twilight quotes from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Twilight

Pinkie? We’re in the middle of a crisis here! This is no time for your -- [sees the parasprites enjoying the music] Nonsense...?

Twilight

Scarf? Check. Saddle? Check. Boots? Check. Spike refusing to get up and going back to sleep? Check. It's a good thing I'm so organized. I'm ready! Bright and early! [Sees that it's still dark outside] Oh, maybe a little too early.

Twilight

[angrily] I seen a dragon lie!

Twilight

[answered Moondancer's question] Eh, a bubble of silence. I haven't seen you in a while and I thought it might be nice to catch up.

Twilight

Obviously, the long-term effects of the simultaneous acquisition of cutie marks has yet to be determined, but... [sips water] Next slide, please?

Twilight

I can speak from my own experience that the power of cutie mark magic is very real. And in the instance of my friends and I, it can be traced to a single event. Without Rainbow Dash’s race to defend Fluttershy’s honor, this Rainboom wouldn’t have happened. Fluttershy might never have discovered her love of animals...Applejack might never have realized that she belonged on her farm... And Pinkie might never have decided to leave hers. It might be hard to imagine Rarity without her sense of fabulousness, but it’s even harder to fathom what my life would be like. without this Rainboom, I might not have gotten into magic school, Celestia wouldn’t have taken me on as her pupil, or sent me to Ponyville to meet my friends. And the most powerful thing about cutie mark magic that I’ve found is the connection I share with them.

Twilight

But...um...the real question about cutie mark magic is who it seems to affect.

Twilight

You actually got a griffon a cutie mark for the first time in recorded history?! You know what this calls for? A full-scale research project!

There you are, Twilight! Moondancer is having a little get-together in the west castle courtyard, you want to come?

Twilight

Oh, sorry, girls. I got a lot of studying to catch up on. [she rushes off]

[to Lemon Hearts] Does that pony do anything except study? I think...she’s more interested in books, than friends.

Twilight

Take a note please, to the princess.

Spike

Okey-dokey!

Twilight

"My dearest teacher, my continuing studies of pony magic have lead me to discover that we are on the precipice of disaster."

Spike

Hold on! "Prece... prece...." [beat]

Twilight

.."Threshold."

Spike

"Threi..." [another beat]

Twilight

Um, "brink"?

Twilight

Ugh, "that something bad is about to happen"!

Spike

[reading Celestia's response] "My dearest, most faithful student Twilight, you know that I value your diligence, and that I trust you completely..."

Twilight

Mm-hmm.

Spike

"...But you simply must stop reading those dusty old books!"

Twilight

[Gasps in shock]

Spike

"My dear Twilight: There is more to a young pony's life than studying. So I’m sending you to supervise the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration in this year’s location: Ponyville. And, I have an even more essential task for you to complete: make some friends."

Twilight

[groans]

Spike

Look on the bright side, Twilight, the Princess arranged for you to stay in a library! Doesn’t that make you happy?

Twilight

[pauses, brightening up] Yes, yes, it does. You know why? Because I’m right. I’ll check on the preparations as fast as I can, then get to the library to find some proof of Nightmare Moon’s return.

Spike

Then when will you make friends, like the Princess said?

Twilight

She said to check on preparations. I am her student, and I’ll do my royal duty, but the fate of Equestria does not rest on me making friends.

Spike

Decorations...beautiful.

Twilight

Yes, the décor is coming along nicely. This oughta be quick. I’ll be at the library in no time. Beautiful, indeed.

Spike

Not the décor... [looks at Rarity, a white pony with a different shaded-purple curly mane and tail] Her!

No...no...no...oh!...Goodness, no...hmmm...

Spike

How are my spines? Are they straight?

Surprise! Hi, I’m Pinkie Pie, and I threw this party just for you! Were you surprised? Were you, were you?! Huh, Huh, Huh?!!

Twilight

[Deadpan] Very surprised. Libraries are supposed to be quiet.

[giggles] That’s silly! [Twilight shakes her head and rolls her eyes in annoyance] What kind of welcome party would this be if it were quiet? I mean, duh, Booooring! You see, I saw you when you first got here, remember? You were all, "Hello," and I was all— [gasps] Remember? You see, I never saw you before, and if I never saw you before, that means you’re new. ’Cause I know everypony, and I mean everypony, in Ponyville. And if you’re new, it meant you hadn’t met anyone yet, and if you haven’t met anyone yet, you must not have any friends, And if you don’t have any friends, then you must be lonely, and that made me so sad. And I had an idea, and that’s why I went -- [gasps] I should throw a great big, ginormous, super-duper spectacular welcome party and invite everyone in Ponyville! See? And now you have lots and lots of friends!

Oh, my beloved subjects. It’s been so long since I’ve seen your precious little sun-loving faces.

Rainbow Dash

What did you do with our Princess?!?

Applejack

Whoa there, Nelly!

Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don’t you know who I am?

Ooh, ooh! More guessing games! Um...Hokey Smokes! How about...Queen Meanie? No...Black Snooty! Black Snooty!

Does my crown no longer count, now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years? Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?

Twilight

I did! And I know who you are, you're the Mare in the Moon: Nightmare Moon!

Well well well, a pony who remembers me. Then you also know why I'm here...

Twilight

You're here to... to... [gulps]

Remember this day little ponies, for it was your last. From this moment forth...the night...will last... forever! [laughs evilly]

Twilight

I read all about the prediction of Nightmare Moon. Some mysterious objects called the Elements of Harmony are the only things that can stop her, but I don't know what they are, where to find them... I don't even know what they do!

[finds a book] "The Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide".

Twilight

How did you find that?

[singsong] It was under "E"!

Twilight

Oh. [reading about the Elements of Harmony] There are six Elements of Harmony, but only five are known: Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty, and Loyalty. The sixth is a complete mystery. It is said the last known location of the five Elements was in the ancient Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters. It is located in what is now...

The Everfree Forest!

Twilight

alright. Oh, Rarity, your beautiful tail!

Oh, it's fine, my dear. Short tails are in this season. Besides, it'll grow back.

Rainbow Dash

So would the mustache.

Twilight

You think you can destroy the Elements of Harmony just like that? Well, you’re wrong—because the spirits of the Elements of Harmony are right here!

What? [Gaunson: we’ll looks like you lost. Do your part twilight

Twilight

Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of...Honesty! Fluttershy, who tamed the manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of...Kindness! Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of...Laughter! Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift, represents the spirit of...Generosity! And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart’s desire, represents the spirit of...Loyalty! The spirits of these five ponies got us through every challenge you threw at us!

You still don’t have the sixth Element! The spark didn’t work!

Twilight

But it did. A different kind of spark. [To the others] I felt it the very moment I realized how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside me, when I realized that you all...are my friends!

Twilight

You see, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth Element: The Element of...Magic!
