Lord Tirek quotes from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Lord Tirek

"Is he friend, or is he foe?" the pony wonders. I can assure you... I am no friend. I am Tirek, and I will take what should have been mine long ago.

Lord Tirek

The Princess of Friendship here for a visit. What have I done to earn the honor of your company?

Lord Tirek

Give my regards to Cerberus.

Discord

You meant our will, didn't you?

Lord Tirek

Of course. Here, I want you to have something. This was given to me by someone very close to me. I give it to you as a sign of my gratitude and loyalty.

Discord

Oh, my! I do love a good accessory. I suppose that's Rarity's influence.

Lord Tirek

[laughs] Amusing. But we have no time for such things. With the princesses out of the way, we can now– [sees a stained glass illustration of Twilight Sparkle] Is this meant to be HUMOROUS?!

Discord

Oh, no, I haven't touched that one yet.

Lord Tirek

There's a fourth? And you did not tell me this?!

Discord

I just needed some assurance that you truly considered this a team effort. And now I have it.

Lord Tirek

Then where can we find this fourth princess? Where is her castle?

Discord

Castle? [laughs] No, Princess Twilight lives above a library in Ponyville. Castle? [laughs]

Lord Tirek

Not for much longer.

Lord Tirek

You've gathered up all of them?

Discord

And her little dragon, too.

Lord Tirek

How it this possible?! You have no magic!

Twilight Sparkle

You're wrong, Tirek! I may have given you my Alicorn magic, but I carry within me the most powerful magic of all!

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.

Twilight Sparkle

Cozy Glow is behind all of this?!

Lord Tirek

[laughs] I'm not usually a fan of ponies, but draining your precious world of magic so she could trap the six of you was inspiring! [laughs, coughs]

Spike

Um, there's seven of us.

Twilight Sparkle

Have you even thought about what losing magic would mean?

Lord Tirek

It means the six of you will be trapped here! Like me!

Spike

Seven!

Twilight Sparkle

[to Tirek] Exactly. It means you're trapped here. Forever. With us.

Lord Tirek

Uhhhh... I hadn't thought of it like that.

Pinkie Pie

I can do this all eternity.

Lord Tirek

Fine! I'll help you leave! Just please stop!

Pinkie Pie

Tirek is in!

[whimpers]

Lord Tirek

Of course it's boring here now! But at least you're not in a cage!

Cozy Glow

Hey, neighbor. Wanna be friends?

Tirek

Grogar is ancient and extremely powerful. The land that would become Equestria was a mere collection of farms and pastures, until he declared himself emperor of all he saw. I remember hearing tales of his tyranny when I was young.

I have also heard of the first emperor of Equestria, the "Father of Monsters".

I gave life to the foulest of creatures and allowed them to run wild, taking what they wanted and destroying the rest. My reign was a glorious, fear-soaked epoch of darkness in Equestria...

Queen Chrysalis

Ha! Until Gusty the Great rose up and banished you.

That fool thought taking my bell would defeat me, but she only weakened me temporarily.

Cozy Glow

Um, Tirek is really old. [to Tirek] No offense, you look great. [back to Grogar] But if he knew about you when he was young, we have super different ideas about what "temporarily" means.

SILENCE!! [Genral pershing and gaunson and the lone vanguard appear out of the portal]

The Bell?! You had it all this time?! Why didn't you tell me?!

Cozy Glow

We're villains, duh!

Tirek

That was unexpected.

Queen Chrysalis

You think your pathetic shield can stop us? [laughs] The Pillars have been defeated. Your school is abandoned. Face it, Twilight; you've lost.

Twilight Sparkle

You can attack us, and we may fall, but Equestria will still stand, united in friendship. And we won't stop until we defeat you, no matter how many ponies you take down!

Lord Tirek

Didn't you all notice something was wrong in Equestria? We've been busy.

Queen Chrysalis

A whisper here, a rumor there...

Lord Tirek

Destroy some crops, cause some damage...

Cozy Glow

Turn pony against pony...

Queen Chrysalis

Until your whole kingdom is on edge, waiting for just one tiny thing to push them over the brink!

Lord Tirek

There's no backup friends or rainbow magic to save you now!

Cozy Glow

Golly, I think it's time for some redecorating!

Queen Chrysalis

You know what’s stronger than friendship, Twilight? Fear!

Lord Tirek

[levitates Twilight up to him] Because when you have to protect yourself, you don’t have time for anypony else!

Cozy Glow

Too bad you never taught that in school.
