Yona quotes from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Yona

Professor Rockhoof best pony!

Yona

[reading] "When Yona come to pony school, Yona not fit in. Pony ways strange. But Yona find friends! Yona meet Professor Rockhoof! Pony brave and strong as yak! Not afraid! Hero! When Yona grow up, Yona want to be just like Professor Rockhoof!"

Smolder

Oof! Is there anything in Yakyakistan that isn't the best?

Yona

Yes! Wait. No! Yaks best.

Gallus

And that's why griffons breathe fire when we get mad.

Silverstream

They do not! Wait! Do they? No! Really?

Yona

Griffons just full of hot air!

Yona

Yona not really like school. But, Yona like new friends! [bear hugs Smolder]

Smolder

[grunts] [strained] Smolder... like breathing!

Silverstream

You guys! I just found stairs!

Gallus

Aaaand we care because...?

Silverstream

Stairs are awesome! We don't have anything like 'em underwater 'cause you know, [magic zap] no way to climb 'em!

Ohhhh.

Gallus

Is that Professor Egghead?!

Yona

Not bad! [quickly] For pony.

Applejack

[deep inhale] Now take a good, deep breath. What do you smell?

Gallus

[inhale] Uh, yak?

Yona

[sniffing] Mm-hmm!

Yona

Help! Yak not swim!

Ocellus

That's okay! Your friends can change into creatures that do!

Yona

[clears throat, quietly] Be my friend.

Iron Will

If you're quiet, I don't buy it!

Yona

[louder] Be my friend!

Iron Will

I've heard pudding that's more convincing!

Yona

[huffs, even louder] Be! My! Friend!

Starlight Glimmer

No pony ever invited you to the school. And when you offered to help, I didn't listen. I was so worried about doing things Twilight's way, I didn't stop to think about being a good friend. I'd like to apologize for that. And offer you the job of vice headmare.

Spike

Huh?

Silverstream

Really?!

Gallus

What?!

Ocellus

Why?!

Yona

No!

Smolder

Him?!

Sandbar

Totally confused.

Rainbow Dash

One of you must have done this! But... why would any of you want to sabotage Hearth's Warming Eve?

[muttering nervously]

Yona

Ugh! Yak not do this! Yona offended by accusation!

Twilight Sparkle

The guilty party won't be going home over Hearth's Warming break. She or he will stay here for some one-on-one friendship lessons.

Silverstream

But what if none of us confesses?

Twilight Sparkle

Then... [sighs] I guess there's no holidays for any creature. You'll all stay over the break.

Sandbar

How do you celebrate Hearth's Warming in Yakyakistan, Yona?

Yona

Yaks do not. Our holiday much better. Is called Snilldar Fest. Night before, yaks gather things to smash and put them in big pile. Then in morning, we smash them! In afternoon, we smash them again! In evening—

Gallus

So it's just about smashing stuff, like all your other holidays.

Yona

No! How griffon get that idea?

Sandbar

Hey, this reminds me of another story! "The Time I Almost Spilled Grape Juice on the White Couch"!

Smolder

Does it have a depressing ending?

Ocellus

I'm not sure pony stories work that way.

Yona

Gallus want Yona braid feathers?

Gallus

Uhhh... pass.

Silverstream

[singing proudly] Hearth's Warming Eve is here once again!

Rockhoof

I know I'm new to your "modern" world, but there's one thing I learned when I saved my village from a rushing river of hot lava. There's nothing you can't do with hard work. And a shovel!

Yona

Yona like new teacher. He big like yak!

Gallus

And he smashes things like a yak, smells like a yak...

Yona

Yes! He perfect!

Yona

Professor Rockhoof best teacher ever! [sighs] Day cannot get better.

Rockhoof

Let's get you outside, wee ones!

Yona

Day just got better!

Twilight Sparkle

As the Princess of Friendship, I'd like to appoint you as Equestria's official keeper of tales!

Spike

Can you do that?

Twilight Sparkle

Eh. You are a living record of our history. Your stories can inspire and teach generations to come. If you're a statue, that's all lost.

Rockhoof

Will I ever really belong in your world?

Yona

Rockhoof Yona's friend. So Rockhoof belongs!
