• Twilight Sparkle : [singing]  Oh, I've taken my share of licks/I've made it through the thin and thick/But no I wasn't.

  Spike : [also singing]  Oh no, she wasn't.

  Twilight Sparkle : Oh no, I wasn't.

  Spike : Oh no, she wasn't.

  Twilight Sparkle : No I wasn't.

  Twilight Sparkle , Spike : [singing in harmony]  Prepared... for this!

  Spike : [song ends]  Uh, prepared for what, exactly?

  Applejack : [her friends arrive at the train station]  Twilight! Did you pass?

  Pinkie Pie : Are we gonna celebrate your awesomeness with Princess Celestia?

  [she begins to blast off her party cannon] 

  Twilight Sparkle : Not quite.

  [Pinkie and her cannon retract on their own] 

  Twilight Sparkle : We're going to the Crystal Empire!

  All : Huh?

  Rainbow Dash : Crystal what?

• Twilight Sparkle : [speaking with a Crystal Pony at her doorstep in the Crystal Empire]  Are you sure? Absolutely sure?

  Autumn Gem : I'm sorry. I wish I could help you. But... I can't seem to remember anything before King Sombra came to power.

  [she has a flashback, and King Sombra's eyes appear faintly/briefly] 

  Autumn Gem : And I don't want to remember anything the time he ruled over us.

  [shudders] 

  Twilight Sparkle : King Sombra's spell must be why their coats aren't... crystally.

  Autumn Gem : Have we really been gone a thousand years?

  Twilight Sparkle : Yes.

  Autumn Gem : It feels like it was just yesterday.

  Twilight Sparkle : If you think of anything, even the smallest thing...

  Autumn Gem : Of course.

  [she goes back inside her house] 

  Spike : Well *that* was a total bust.

  Twilight Sparkle : Maybe the others are having better luck.

• Pinkie Pie : [bouncing around the city in a spy outfit and night-vision goggles, during the day]  Time to gather some intel!

  Female Crystal Pony 3 : [on the ground, looking at the city's central tower in the distance]  It just feels like something is missing.

  Male Crystal Pony 1 : I know. It looks the same, but it doesn't *feel* the same.

  Pinkie Pie : [lowering herself down to them on a rope, upside down]  Because it isn't!

  Female Crystal Pony 3 : [gasps]  A spy!

  [the two Crystal Ponies run away] 

  Pinkie Pie : Aaaah!

  [falls to the ground] 

  Pinkie Pie : A spy? How did they know? Ah! Must have noticed my night vision goggles.

  [she puts them on] 

  Pinkie Pie : Ooh! Night vision-y!

  [slams into a pole]
