Transcripts/Forever Filly

Sassy Saddles: [panting] [muttering] Oh, I have to... Oh! I can't believe the winter-to-spring transition is almost here!

Rarity: [humming] Oh, I know. I love it so much, I gave it its own term – "Spring-sition"! [laughs]

Sassy Saddles: Ohhh. I like that. [sighs] I'm going to have to relabel all my binders. Right after we finish... everything! We still have so much to do! Oh, my bustles and bows! Rarity, did we—?

Rarity: Already hemmed, ruched, and cut, my dear.

Sassy Saddles: [sighs] Oh. Rarity, no reason to panic, but, um, we seem to be temporarily low! And when I say "temporarily low", I mean "completely out of"—!

Rarity: The baby blue sapphires? They arrived this morning.

Sassy Saddles: Oh. Heh. Wonderful. [sighs] Oh! What about the design for the—?!

Rarity: And done!

Sassy Saddles: Wow. You are good. And you've really outdone yourself this time! The Morning Sunshine Tulip Frock is gorgeous!

Rarity: Ooh, thank you. Look, I know you're worried about something slipping between the cracks. But with your managerial skills and my fabulous designs, we have everything covered.

Sassy Saddles: You're right. You're right. There are no cracks.

Rarity: Would you be a dear and fetch me some vermilion satin from the back? And I'll start on the Eternal Elegance Empire Silhouette evening gown.

Sassy Saddles: My most certain pleasure!

Rarity: Oh. I love this picture. When was the last time we had that kind of fun together? [gasps] Why, I can't remember! Has it been that long?! I guess I've been so busy running my shop! [gasps] Oh, no! Something, or should I say somepony, is slipping between the cracks! [sobs] I miss my Sweetie Belle! [sobs]

Sassy Saddles: Rarity, we're running low on vermilion satin.

Rarity: Huh? [bawls]

Sassy Saddles: I... I can order more!

[theme song]

Rarity: [continues bawling] And this is when we pretended we were storybook princesses. And here we pretended we were on a dangerous yet stylish safari. [sobs] So many wonderful memories! [sobs, blows nose, resumes sobbing] Not to put too fine a point on it, but... [bawls harder] Sweetie Belle loves playing dress-up. I miss her so much!

Sassy Saddles: Then why don't you go visit her?

Rarity: [through tears] I wish I... could, but... between... running... three stores and the spring-sition... I couldn't possibly...

Sassy Saddles: But you've already done almost all the work. I can handle the rest.

Rarity: B-B-But... but...

Sassy Saddles: Rarity, go. I have everything well in hoof.

Rarity: [sobs, calmer] Mm, point taken. [excitedly] I am going to visit my sister!

Sassy Saddles: Way to immediately turn that around.

Rarity: We can spend the whole day together! And we can do all her favorite things!

Sassy Saddles: I'm sure she'd love that.

Rarity: Oh, Sassy, thank you!

Sassy Saddles: Of course! Now get out of here!

Rarity: I'm going! I'm going! Hang on, sis! I'm coming!

Cutie Mark Crusaders: [giggling]

Starry Eyes: [screams]

Scootaloo: Excuse us!

Apple Bloom: Comin' through!

Sweetie Belle: Cutie Mark Crusaders mid-mission here!

Cutie Mark Crusaders: [giggling, screaming]

[crash!]

Scootaloo: That was fun! Let's do it again!

Sweetie Belle: Scoot, we've got a job to do.

Scootaloo: Later?

Sweetie Belle: All right, Chipcutter. We've done our part. The rest is up to you.

Chipcutter: You really think I have it in me to be a sculptor?

Scootaloo: Yup!

Chipcutter: But why?

Sweetie Belle: Because you said you weren't good at anything except getting in trouble for making sculptures out of your lunch, right?

Chipcutter: Yeah. I can't help it. When I look at my sandwich, it's like it's just asking me to... turn it into a dragon.

Apple Bloom: Well, what is this slab asking you to turn it into?

Chipcutter: Hmmm... I see...

[jackhammering noises]

[crumble]

Apple Bloom: Wow! T-That's incredible! It looks just like us!

Scootaloo: We knew you had it in you, Chip!

Chipcutter: This is way better than sandwich sculpting!

Sweetie Belle: Chip, we're proud of you.

[flash]

Chipcutter: I finally got my cutie mark!

Apple Bloom: Woo-hoo! All right!

Scootaloo: Yes!

Sweetie Belle: Way to go!

[hoof-bump]

Scootaloo: [sighs] Not a bad way to start a day.

Apple Bloom: Not a bad way at all! Helpin' ponies is just about my favorite thing to do.

Sweetie Belle: Another satisfied client!

Apple Bloom and Scootaloo: Mm-hmm!

Apple Bloom: So who's up next?

Sweetie Belle: Pretty sure it's Zipporwhill. She needs help reconnecting with her cutie mark – three puppy paw prints.

Scootaloo: When is she swinging by?

Sweetie Belle: Well, I think she should be arriving right about...

[door opens]

Sweetie Belle: ...now.

Apple Bloom: Wow. You are good.

Sweetie Belle: Come on in, Zipporwhill.

Scootaloo: Okay, so what seems to be the problem, exactly?

Zipporwhill: It's my puppy, Ripley. We used to be so close. In fact, I got my cutie mark the day I found him and took him home. But now, it's like he wants nothing to do with me.

Scootaloo: Don't you worry. You've come to the right place! The Cutie Mark Crusaders are on the job!

Apple Bloom: Trust us. Before you know it, you and your puppy will be back to bein' besties!

Sweetie Belle: You have the CMC guarantee! No matter what it takes, we promise you'll have our full attention.

Rarity: [singsongy] Guess who's here to spend the whole day with her little sister?!

Sweetie Belle: [gasps] Rarity? [grunts]

Rarity: Mmmm!

Sweetie Belle: [laughs nervously]

Rarity: [to Zipporwhill] Oh! Heh-heh. So sorry, dear. You're tiny. I didn't even see you there! Tend to get carried away with my entrances! Ta-da! [laughs]

Sweetie Belle: Rarity, what are you doing here?

Rarity: I am here to spend the day with you! I'm so excited, I could practically faint! You don't happen to have a fainting couch in here, do you?

Sweetie Belle: No!

Rarity: Oh, pfft, of course not. It's a treehouse! That would be très gauche!

Sweetie Belle: Right... Well, I sure am happy to see you, and spending the day with you does sound like a lot of fun, but... I'm kind of right in the middle of something important. I have responsibilities and...

Rarity: Oh.

Apple Bloom: Go on, Sweetie Belle. We've got this covered. How often do you get to spend time with your sister?

Scootaloo: Yeah! Go have fun.

Sweetie Belle: You sure you two can handle our client here?

Rarity: "Client"? Oh, that is so adorable!

Sweetie Belle: Uh, thanks? I think?

Rarity: [sniffs] Ooh! You have mints to offer your "clients". [giggles] How.. professional. [giggles]

Sweetie Belle: Are you sure you two got this?

Apple Bloom: We have it handled.

Rarity: Oh, my! Look at this wall of satisfied customers! [gasps] You girls really have come a long way.

Sweetie Belle: Well, all right then. [to the other Crusaders] But, lemme know if you need me or run into any trouble.

Rarity: Come on, come on! You'll never guess what I have planned! [squeals]

[foals and Rarity giggling]

Rarity: Ooh! So fun!

Sweetie Belle: [indignantly] What?

Rarity: [giggles] It's just I know how much you love these puppet shows.

Sweetie Belle: I did.

Rarity: Oh, it's just like old times! You, me, greasy popcorn. It's like no time has passed at all.

Zipporwhill: [struggling] Come on... [grunts]

Rarity: Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! It's your favorite part!

[music and silly sound effects]

[foals and Rarity giggling]

Rarity: Banana peels are so very, very slippery! [laughs] It's funny because it's true! [laughs]

Sweetie Belle: [laughs nervously, sighs]

Rarity: What's the matter, darling?

Sweetie Belle: I, um, guess I just prefer black box experimental theater.

Rarity: What?! Since when?

Sweetie Belle: [sighs] I dunno. It's no big deal. This is great.

[bell dings]

Rarity: Okay. We're here! Ta-da! [laughs, clears throat] Aren't you excited to be back here again? Do I know my baby sister, or do I know my baby sister?

Sweetie Belle: Uh... Yeah... Where is "here" exactly?

Rarity: Oh, pfft! Stop being so silly! You know this is your favorite ice cream shop!

Sweetie Belle: Oh. Right. From when I was a little filly.

Rarity: And I convinced the original owner to come out of retirement to make you your all-time favorite dessert! [giggles, claps twice]

[tray drops]

Sweetie Belle: Huh. I remember it being much bigger.

Rarity: Well, go ahead. I know you're dying to dig in.

Sweetie Belle: [slurps, gulps]

Rarity: Well?

Sweetie Belle: [laughs nervously, sighs] That was, uh... one tasty bite. Still a little hungry, though.

Rarity: [gasps] We can get another sundae! Chocolate with rainbow sprinkles, perhaps?

Sweetie Belle: I was thinking something more like a salad.

Rarity: A salad? When did you get so practical?

Sweetie Belle: Oh, um... I guess another scoop would be fine!

Rarity: [gasps] One more Filly Clown Surprise, please!

[thump]

Sweetie Belle: [groans]

Ripley: [panting]

Zipporwhill: Hey, Ripley!

Scootaloo: Look at me! Over here!

[squeaking]

Ripley: [yawns]

[balloon squeaking]

Rarity: I know you must be bored, darling. This is a very long line for one of Twisty Pop's balloons.

Sweetie Belle: [groans]

Rarity: But just be patient. We'll get you your favorite balloon bouquet, and it'll all be worth it.

Zipporwhill: [baby noises] Who's a good puppy? Who's a good puppy?! You're the good puppy!

Ripley: [whines]

Zipporwhill: Now come on, puppy-wuppy! Get the bally-wally!

Scootaloo: Come on, Ripley! Like this!

Apple Bloom: Good Scootaloo! See?

Ripley: [barking]

Zipporwhill: [sighs] It's not working.

Scootaloo: Maybe if the ball tasted better?

Apple Bloom: I don't think that that's it, Scoot.

Sweetie Belle: Doesn't look like it's going so well. I'm just gonna do a quick check with the CMCs.

Rarity: Well, I guess duty calls, and-and you, you have that now...

Sweetie Belle: What?

Rarity: Oh nothing, nothing. Go on.

Scootaloo: Hey, Sweetie Belle. How's your day with Rarity going?

Sweetie Belle: Well, it's not exactly great...

Apple Bloom: What do you mean?

Sweetie Belle: I don't know. It's like Rarity doesn't even know me anymore.

Scootaloo: I wish we could say our day is going better.

Ripley: [barking]

Apple Bloom: But we can't.

Scootaloo: Seems like Zipporwhill's puppy doesn't want anything to do with her.

Sweetie Belle: Hmmm. I see what you mean... [gasps] You know, it's an awfully big puppy...

Rarity: Sweetie Belle, hurry! He's making it!

Sweetie Belle: Gotta go...

[balloons squeaking]

Rarity: [gasps] I know just what to do with this!

[fashion music]

Rarity: And pose!

[camera clicks]

Rarity: And pose!

[camera clicks]

Rarity: Love the camera!

[camera clicks]

Rarity: Hate the camera.

[camera clicks]

Rarity: Love it again!

[camera clicks]

Rarity: Sweetie Belle, you did "hate the camera" for all these shots! [sighs] Let's do it again.

Sweetie Belle: No!

Rarity: [gasps]

Apple Bloom: Come on, Zipporwhill, you can do this!

[squeaking]

Ripley: [sniffing]

Rarity: W-What do you mean, no?

Sweetie Belle: Rarity, this is hard for me to say, but... um...

Rarity: Sweetie Belle, what is it? You've been acting weird all day. You used to love doing these things with me.

Sweetie Belle: That's just it! I used to! That's not who I am anymore!

Zipporwhill: This isn't who I am! My cutie mark must be for something else, because my puppy just doesn't love me anymore! Hmph!

Rarity: But it is you! You love puppet shows and dressing up and taking silly photos and tiny little clown-shaped ice creams!

Sweetie Belle: Really?! If you still think I like doing this stuff, then maybe you don't know me at all!

Rarity: [whimpering]

Rarity: [sobbing] I can't believe Sweetie Belle talked to me like that. [indignant] And after everything I did to set up a whole day of doing her favorite things! I mean, accusing me of not knowing her?! I know her better than anypony! Um, thank you, Twisty, but the hard truth is, my sister is being unappreciative right now! And I'm going to go and give her a piece of my mind!

[balloon deflating]

Sweetie Belle: Hey, Zipporwhill. What are you doing here? Where are Apple Bloom and Scootaloo?

Zipporwhill: They're with my puppy. He seems to like them better than me anyway.

Sweetie Belle: Now, I'm sure that's not true.

Zipporwhill: It is. He doesn't like doing anything with me anymore. [sighs] He didn't even want to play with this. And all puppies love these. [sniffs]

[squeak]

Zipporwhill: [sniffing, crying]

Sweetie Belle: I think that might be your problem right there! Come on!

[squeak]

Ripley: [yawns]

Scootaloo: [groans] Find Zipporwhill, Ripley!

Apple Bloom: Woof, woof! It's Zipporwhill! Woof?

Scootaloo: [sighs] It's hopeless.

Apple Bloom: Sweetie Belle!

Scootaloo: Zipporwhill! [sighs] We're sorry we haven't figured this out yet.

Sweetie Belle: Don't worry, girls. I think I cracked this one.

Rarity: Aha! There she is! [gasps] Oh, dear. Really should have changed. [huffs] No matter! I'm going to give her quite the talking to! ...Right after she's done with her conversation. Anger is no excuse for poor manners, after all.

Sweetie Belle: Okay, Zipporwhill. What do you see?

Zipporwhill: My puppy?

Sweetie Belle: That's not what I see. I see a full-grown dog.

Zipporwhill: He did get bigger, I guess.

Sweetie Belle: He's not just bigger. He's older, too.

Ripley: [grunts]

Sweetie Belle: You don't still play with the same toys from when you were a foal, do you?

Zipporwhill: Oh. Ohhh. The squeaker is a little small for him now. [sighs] It's just hard for me to believe he's not the same adorable little guy I found anymore.

Sweetie Belle: I understand. But doing things like you used to won't turn him back into a puppy.

Zipporwhill: So... what do I do?

Sweetie Belle: Treat him like the dog he is, and find new favorite things to do together.

Zipporwhill: You think so?

Rarity: I know so!

Sweetie Belle: Rarity?!

Rarity: Oh, Sweetie Belle. I heard what you said, and you are so right.

Scootaloo: About the dog?

Rarity: Yes, but about us, too. The truth is, I know you're not a little filly anymore. But it's just... the last time we did all of those things together, I... I didn't realize it was gonna be the last last time. I loved doing those things with you. It's hard for me to let that go.

Sweetie Belle: Aww, Rarity! I love being with you too! That will never change! But... maybe we could just try to do different things together?

[clicking]

Ripley: [alerted dog noise] [panting]

Zipporwhill: What is it, puppy? [giggles] I mean, Ripley?

Ripley: [panting]

Zipporwhill: [giggling] I love you too, Ripley! Thank you, Crusaders.

Cutie Mark Crusaders: No problem!

Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Zipporwhill: [laughing]

Zipporwhill: Oh, Ripley!

Rarity: Sweetie Belle, I'm so very proud of the pony you've grown into.

Sweetie Belle: And I'm proud that no matter what, I'll always be your little sister.

Rarity: I, uh, have a little bit of time before I have to head back to Canterlot. Could we spend it together? What would a grown pony like you want to do?

Sweetie Belle: Well, I do have one idea...

Rarity and Sweetie Belle: [licking lips]

Rarity: Heh, I didn't realize your idea would be such a delicious one! [giggles] I don't know how I'm going to finish this.

Sweetie Belle: Oh! I'll help you!

Rarity: [giggles]

Sweetie Belle: [giggles]
