- Spitfire: Hey! I know you. You're the pony that saved us in Cloudsdale and won The Best Flyer Competition.
- Rainbow Dash: Hay yeah! Name's Rainbow Dash.
- Spitfire: Well, Rainbow Dash. Looks like your skills saved us again - oh, well, at least they saved Soarin's apple pie.
- Soarin': [eating the pie he bought from Applejack] *OMNOMnom* Yeah...
- [NOMNOMNOM...]
- Spitfire: Wanna come hang out with us?
- Rainbow Dash: Sure. Why not?
- [to herself]
- Rainbow Dash: I'm... hanging... with the... Wonderbolts!
- [squee, giggle]
- Prince Blueblood: Well, hello. I am Prince Blueblood.
- Rarity: I am... Rarity. Oh my, what a lovely rose.
- Prince Blueblood: You mean... this rose? Thank you. It goes with my eyes.
- Rarity: [moan]
- Applejack: First minute, first sale. Second... Fourth... Sixth... Sixtieth minute... no sales. *sigh* This ain't what I expected at all.
- Pinkie Pie: I'm at the Grand Galloping Gala... and it's not what I dreamed.
- Rarity: [watches Blueblood take away her seat] This isn't at all what I imagined.
- Twilight Sparkle: [hears Celestia greeting the other ponies] This isn't what I hoped.
- Rainbow Dash: [tries to talk to the Wonderbolts but to no avail] This isn't hanging out.
- Fluttershy: [more animals run away from her] This isn't what I wished for.
- Twilight Sparkle: No!
- Rarity: I waited all my life...
- Fluttershy: ...for this moment.
- Pinkie Pie: And I'm not going to...
- Applejack: ...let it slip by.
- Rainbow Dash: If it's the last thing I do...
- Twilight Sparkle: ...I'm gonna make this...
- Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy: ...the best night ever!
- Rarity: [to herself] Just give him a chance, Rarity. His princely side is sure to come out if you're just patient.
- Prince Blueblood: Miss Rarity! Stop!
- [there is a puddle of water on the floor from a spilled drink]
- Rarity: Oh. Prince Blueblood! How chivalrous.
- Prince Blueblood: One would hate to slip.
- Rarity: Yes. "One" certainly would.
- Prince Blueblood: One's cloak should take care of the problem.
- Rarity: Oh, of course it will.
- [after Prince Blueblood does nothing, Rarity ends up having to lay her own cloak over the puddle while Blueblood walks on it]
- Applejack: [wheeling in a large cake to the ballroom] Okay, all you high-class ponies. Here's a highfalutin' apple cake for your hoity-toity taste buds.
- Pinkie Pie: STAGE DIVE!
- [jumps off the stage into the cake]
- Rarity, Prince Blueblood: [both scream, Blueblood uses Rarity as a shield from the falling cake pieces]
- Rarity: [angry growl] You, sir, are the most *uncharming* prince I have *ever met*! Seems like the only thing royal about you is that you are a *royal pain*!
- Prince Blueblood: Ewww...! Uh, stay back! I just had myself groomed!
- Rarity: Afraid to get *dirty*?
- [shakes herself off on him]
- Prince Blueblood: [whimpering, he steps backward into a statue, which then starts to fall]
- Rainbow Dash: This is my chance! Yes! Whoa!
- [in stopping the statue from falling, she causes some pillars to collapse]
- Twilight Sparkle: [walks in with Princess Celestia to see the ballroom in a mess] Well... it can't get any worse.
- Fluttershy: [breaks down the doors chasing many animals] You're... going to *LOVE ME*!
- Twilight Sparkle: [everypony is running around] Uh... Eek!
- Princess Celestia: [whispers to Twilight, instructing her as well as her friends in a playful manner] Run.
- Pinkie Pie: [the verse of Pinkie Pie's "Pony Pokey" that focuses on Fluttershy's difficulties] You stomp your whole self in/You stomp your whole self out/You stomp your whole self in/And you stomp yourself about/You do the Pony Pokey and you give a little shout
- Fluttershy: [chasing animals in the gardens, shouts in time to the song] COME OUT!
- Pinkie Pie: That's what I'm talking about!
- Pinkie Pie: You do the Pony Pokey/You do the Pony Pokey/You do the Pony Pokey/And that's what it's all about. YEAH!
- Lyrica: Young lady, this is not *that* kind of party.
- Pinkie Pie: Ooooooh... They don't want a party. These ponies want a paaarteeey!
- Fluttershy: I'll catch you yet, my pretties. Oh yes. As soon as one of you little birds or monkeys or bears touches this net... you'll be MINE! MINE!
- [stands up on her hind legs and laughs scarily]
- Fluttershy: Whoa!
- [falls down into her own net]
- Pinkie Pie: [Rarity loses one of her glass slippers on the way out] Ooh! Rarity, your glass slipper! Now your prince is sure to find you.
- Rarity: [shriek] No! Ugh! Let's go!
- [she crushes the slipper]
- Spike: Come on, you guys. Let me in!
- Rainbow Dash: Sure thing, Spike.
- Rarity: Heavens no! We're getting dressed.
- Applejack: Dressed? Uh, beg pardon, Rarity, but, uh... we don't normally wear clothes.
- Rarity: [moan] I'm sorry, Spike. Some of us do have standards.
- Twilight Sparkle: Don't worry, Spike. We'll all get to spend some time together.
- Spike: Great! Cause I planned out my insider's tour of Canterlot. I've gotta show Rarity the crown jewels. And Applejack the Princess's golden apple tree. And Pinkie, we gotta go to my favorite donut shop. Then let's get moving! Hyah!
- [lightly whips the ponies pulling their carriage]
- Caramel: Excuse me?
- Spike: Um... I...
- Lucky Clover: If you weren't friends with our neighbor Rarity... Huh.
- Rainbow Dash: [singing to a rock opera style] Been dreaming, I've been waiting/To fly with those great ponies/The Wonderbolts, their daring tricks/Spinning 'round and having kicks/Perform for crowds of thousands/They'll shower us with diamonds/The Wonderbolts will see me/Right here at the Gala!
- Crowd: All we've longed for, all we've dreamed, our happy ever after/Finally will all come true, right here at the Grand - Gala! At the Gala!
- Applejack: Howdy, partner! You hungry?
- Soarin': As a horse!
- Applejack: Well, what's you're hungering for? Caramel apple? Apple pie? Apple fritter? Apple fries?
- Soarin': I'll take that big apple pie!
- Applejack: Well, thank you kindly, sir! Yeehaw! In the first minute, I made my first sale. Just like I expected.
- Prince Blueblood: [referring to Applejack's apple-based foods] My royal lips have touched common carnival fare!
- Twilight Sparkle: I just hope Princess Celestia isn't upset at us for ruining the Gala.
- Princess Celestia: [walks into the donut shop] That was the best Grand Galloping Gala ever!
- Everypony: Princess Celestia?
- Twilight Sparkle: Pardon me, Princess, but tonight was just awful.
- Princess Celestia: Oh, Twilight. The Grand Galloping Gala is always awful.
- Twilight Sparkle: It is?
- Princess Celestia: That is why I was thrilled you were all attending. I was hoping you could liven things up a bit. And while the evening may not have gone as you planned, I'm sure you'll agree that in the end it didn't turn out so bad for this group of friends.
