Shining Armor quotes from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Shining

Twily, "Princess Mi Amore Cadenza" is Cadance, your old foalsitter.

Twilight

Cadance?! As in THE Cadance?!? As in, the greatest foalsitter in the history of foalsitters!!??!!

Shining

Heh... you tell me, she was your foalsitter.

Shining Armor

You want to know why my eyes went all- [rolls eyes, followed by a grunt of pain] Because ever since I started having to perform my protection spell, I've been getting terrible migraines. Cadance hasn't been casting spells on me. She's been using her magic to heal me!

Twilight

[inhales]

Shining Armor

And she decided to replace her bridesmaids because she found out the only reason they wanted to be in the wedding was so that they could meet Canterlot royalty! And if she hasn't been on her best behavior with your [stomps hoof] friends, it's because with me being so busy, she's had to make all the decisions about the wedding!

Twilight

I was just trying to–

Shining Armor

She's been completely stressed out because it's really important to her that her big day be perfect! Something that obviously wasn't important to you. [Twilight gasps] Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and comfort my bride. And you can forget about being my best mare. In fact, if I were you, I wouldn't show up to the wedding at all.

Applejack

C'mon, y'all. Let's go check on the princess.

Twilight

I was-

Princess Celestia

[coldly yet sternly] You have a lot to think about.

Applejack

I-I don't understand. How can there be two of 'em?

Princess Cadance

She's a changeling! She takes the form of somepony you love and gains power by feeding off your love for them!

Queen Chrysalis

[laughing] Right you are, Princess. And as queen of the changelings, it is up to me to find food for my subjects. Equestria has more love than any place I've ever encountered. My fellow changelings will be able to devour so much of it that we will gain more power than we have ever dreamed of!

Princess Cadance

They'll never get the chance! Shining Armor's protection spell will keep them from ever even reaching us!

Queen Chrysalis

[chuckling] Oh, I doubt that. Isn't that right, dear?

Shining Armor

Mm-hmm.

Queen Chrysalis

Ah, ah, ah. Don't want to go back to the caves now, do you? Ever since I took your place, I've been feeding off Shining Armor's love for you. Every moment he grows weaker and so does his spell. Even now, my minions are chipping away at it.

[laughing]

Queen Chrysalis

[laughing] He may not be my husband, but he is under my total control now.

[both gasps]

Queen Chrysalis

And, I'm sorry to say, unable to perform his duties as captain of the Royal Guard.

Princess Cadance

Not my Shining Armor!

Queen Chrysalis

Soon, my changeling army will break through. First, we take Canterlot. And then, all of Equestria!

Princess Celestia

No. You won't. You may have made it impossible for Shining Armor to perform his spell, but now that you have so foolishly revealed your true self, I can protect my subjects from you!

Queen Chrysalis

[grunting]

Twilight Sparkle

Princess Celestia!

Queen Chrysalis

Ah! Shining Armor's love for you is even stronger than I thought! Consuming it has made me even more powerful than Celestia!

Princess Celestia

The Elements of Harmony. You must get to them, and use their power to defeat the queen.

Rarity!

Queen Chrysalis

[laughing] You can run, but you can't hide!

Queen Chrysalis

[laughing] It's funny, really. Twilight here was suspicious of my behavior all along. [Twilight slaps her hoof from her chin] Too bad the rest of you were too caught up in your wedding planning to realize those suspicions were correct! [laughing]

Applejack

Sorry, Twi. We should've listened to you.

Twilight Sparkle

It's not your fault. She fooled everypony.

Queen Chrysalis

Hmm, I did, didn't I?

Twilight Sparkle

Quick! Go to him while you still have the chance!

Shining Armor

Wha-where... Huh? Is-is the wedding over?

Queen Chrysalis

It's all over!

Twilight Sparkle

Your spell! Perform your spell!

Queen Chrysalis

[evil laughing] What good would that do? My changelings already roam free.

Shining Armor

No! [magic zaps] My power is useless now. I don't have the strength to repel them.

Princess Cadance

My love will give you strength.

Queen Chrysalis

[chuckling] What a lovely but absolutely ridiculous sentiment.

Queen Chrysalis

Nooooo!

[screaming]

Princess Celestia

Don't worry about me. I'm fine. You have a real wedding to put together.

Shining Armor

Twily! You made it. We better get moving. There are things out here we really don't want to run into after dark.

Fluttershy

[gulps] What kind of things?

Shining Armor

Let's just say the empire... isn't the only thing that's returned.

Shining Armor

Something keeps trying to get in! We think it's the unicorn king who originally cursed the place.

Twilight Sparkle

But Princess Celestia said I was being sent here to find a way to protect the empire! If King Sombra can't get in, then it must already be protected. [roar]

Fluttershy

[gasps] Th-That's one of the things, isn't it?

Shining Armor

Guh. We have to get to the Crystal Empire. Now.

Twilight Sparkle

Oh. Um... [clears throat] A little while ago, my teacher and mentor Princess Celestia sent me to live in Ponyville. She sent me to study friendship, which is something I didn't really care much about. But now, on a day like today, I can honestly say I wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for the friendships I've made with all of you. Each one of you taught me something about friendship, and for that, I will always be grateful. Today, I consider myself the luckiest pony in Equestria. Thank you, friends. Thank you, everypony!

Shining Armor

Twilight! I'm so proud of you!

Twilight Sparkle

Are you crying?

Shining Armor

Of course not. It's... it's liquid pride. Totally different thing.

[laughing]

Applejack

Way to go, Princess!

Pinkie Pie

Best coronation day ever!

Fluttershy

We love you, Twilight!

Twilight Sparkle

I love you too, girls!

Twilight

I didn't know you were meeting us!

Shining Armor

[tired] Of course I am! It's me, right here. Here I am. Why wouldn't I come meet my sister? Though we have met before, heh-heh...

Twilight

Are you all right?

Shining Armor

[tired] Never better! Being a father is amazing! And wonderful, and amazing, and confusing, and amazing, but surprising too, you know? I mean, not that you'd know. You wouldn't know, I know... you know?

Shining Armor

We have Sunburst to thank for that.

Cadance

I hope he takes his role as crystaller seriously. Something tells me the baby will need a pony like him to look to for magical advice.

Cadance, darling, aren't we going to name the poor little dear, or are we going to spend our entire visit just calling her "the baby"?

Cadance

We were thinking... "Flurry Heart".

Shining Armor

You know, to remember the occasion.

Oh, goodness, how could anypony forget?

Twilight

I think it's lovely. [kisses]

[giggles]

Shining Armor

Spike! What are you doing?! Get away from that thing!

Spike

No! He's not a "thing"! His name is Thorax, and he's my friend!
