Fluttershy quotes from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Starlight Glimmer

I can't believe you've memorized your lines already, Fluttershy.

Fluttershy

Once you get past terrifying, paralyzing stage fright, the rest is easy.

Princess Celestia

Fluttershy will be our new lead.

Fluttershy

Oh, my. Me? Playing you? While you watch me playing you? Oh, no. Oh, no. I think my stage fright is coming back. [hyperventilating]

Fluttershy

Oh, Rainbow Dash! I'm so glad you're here. I was lost.

Bummer. Later. [ditches her]

Fluttershy

...What just happened?

Mean Twilight Sparkle

Can we hurry this up? We're on a schedule here! Everything must be perfect!

Pinkie Pie

Twilight, your schedule can wait! Fluttershy's upset!

Mean Twilight Sparkle

Well, tell her to get over it! I’ll go get the others. Stay, here.

[appears from the other side] Oh, great. You upset Fluttershy, too?

Pinkie Pie

You know what, Twilight? Maybe if you weren't so worried about schedules, you'd realize you're the one ruining the retreat for your friends!

Twilight Sparkle

[gasps] Well, if my friends don't care about the retreat I planned for them... maybe they should've stayed home!

Fluttershy

Can't we all just get along?! [crying]

Twilight Sparkle

Of course I care about Fluttershy!

Pinkie Pie

Then you've got a super weird way of showing it!

W-What in Equestria's going on here?

Pinkie Pie

Twilight is so into her "retreat" that she doesn't even care if her friends are upset! She just wants us to "Stay. On. Schedule"!

Twilight Sparkle

Well, I'm sorry, Pinkie, if I knew you thought this was a "boring, lame, no-fun retreat", I wouldn't have invited you in the first place!

Pinkie Pie

I never said that!!

Applejack

Sorry, y'all. We would've been here sooner, but we had to take the long way after Rarity ran off with all my stuff.

Wha—?! I most certainly did not!

Applejack

What?! You know I ain't no liar! [to Starlight Glimmer] Where's all your gear?

Starlight Glimmer

Why? So you can laugh at me some more?!

Rainbow Dash

Hey, hey, we're all friends here!

Fluttershy

Friends?! You left me alone in the woods! [sobs]

Twilight Sparkle

EVERYPONY, QUIET!!!

Twilight Sparkle

Listen. We know each other really well — the great stuff and how to get on each other's nerves, too. I wanted a fun trip with my friends, but instead I got carried away with plans and ruined everything. If you want to forget it all and head home, I won’t be offended. I just want us to stop fighting.

Applejack

[to Starlight Glimmer] Hey, sorry if I got carried away with all that camping stuff.

Starlight Glimmer

I'm sorry, too. I should've just told you I'll never like camping. Also, I'll never like camping.

Well, if we're all being honest, I can't survive with just this tiny yet fashionable little saddlebag! I miss my things!

Applejack

Uh, Gummy? You were supposed to bring Pinkie Pie. What happened?

[blinks slowly]

Is she still coming?

Twilight Sparkle

Fluttershy, can you understand what he's saying?

Fluttershy

I could... if he was talking.

Twilight Sparkle

Um, Maud? Can I ask you a question?

Maud Pie

[deadpan] You just did.

Applejack

Well, can I ask you a question?

Maud Pie

[deadpan] You just did.

Rainbow Dash

[groans] Fine! How about if I ask you a— Wait.

Oh, for goodness' sakes! Maud. All of your sister's things are gone. Explain.

Maud Pie

[deadpan] No, they're not. They're right here.

Fluttershy

Have you seen Pinkie Pie?

Maud Pie

Lots of times. I grew up with her.

Twilight Sparkle

I can't believe you two are going on a friendship quest! This is amazing!

Applejack

What do you mean, Twilight? We've been on one together before.

Twilight Sparkle

Exactly! This is the first time the map has teamed up the same ponies for a second quest!

Fluttershy

The Peaks of... P-P-Peril?!

Applejack

Aw, it's just a name. It doesn't mean anythin'.

Fluttershy

Like how Cloudsdale is in the clouds and the Crystal Empire's made of crystal?

Applejack

Fair point.

Fluttershy

Maybe you should go instead of me, Twilight. [laughs nervously]

Twilight Sparkle

Sorry, Fluttershy. Flanks don't lie.

Applejack

That's no reason to stop talking.

Fluttershy

Yes, it is! Fire is dangerous, especially in a forest like this. Why, think of all the animals it could hurt.

Applejack

Not if they don't turn into fire-breathing Nirik in the first place.

Fluttershy

And how can you be sure that won't happen?

Applejack

There's gotta be a better way than givin' up all your feelings!

Fluttershy

Applejack, you're not listening!

Applejack

'Cause you're not talking any sense!

Fluttershy

I thought Niriks were dangerous when they're angry. How did you know you could control your temper?

Autumn Blaze

I didn't. Huh. I guess anger's like other feelings. It's not about having them. It's what you do with them.

Applejack

And giving up happiness to keep away anger is no kind o' life.

Fluttershy

I never thought of it that way. I can't imagine not being able to talk to my animal friends.

Fluttershy

Every pony gets mad sometimes. Even Applejack and I argue.

Applejack

What?! When do we ever argue?

Fluttershy

[clears throat] On the way here? And about the Kirin being silent? And right now!

Applejack

I accept your apology.

Fluttershy

Why?

Applejack

'Cause if your kindness hadn't made you stop to help the squirrels, we never would've found this here flower.

Fluttershy

And if your honesty hadn't convinced the Kirin to talk, we wouldn't need to find it.

Applejack

[chuckles] Guess it's a good thing the map sent both of us, huh?

Spike

How did you know I was a boy?

Fluttershy

Whatever happened to Spike's mom?

Rainbow Dash

And how did the egg make it all the way back to Equestria by itself?

Pinkie Pie

Hmm?

I wish I had all the answers. [crying]

Cozy Glow

Um, didn't we learn in class about a creature that eats magic? Ter, Tee... Tir-something?

Fluttershy

[gasps] Tirek!

Princess Celestia

If he has found some way to escape his prison or work from within it, he could be responsible for this.

Lord Tirek

What a pity. Well, for you. Sweet revenge for me. It seems my little protege's plan worked after all.

[gasp]

Applejack

Which little protégé?

Lord Tirek

Oh, we’ve never met. We’re pen pals. Each letter had so many questions about draining magic.

And you answered them?!

Lord Tirek

Well, I was bored. So I simply pointed, uh, my pen pal in the right direction.

Fluttershy

Can't you just tell us your pen pal's name? I mean, since we’re stuck here anyway?

Lord Tirek

Oh, why not? The irony is too perfect. Her name is...

Sandbar

...COZY GLOW! ...I-I-I coulda sworn I saw her come down this way when she left her office.
