Apple Bloom: Today's the day, Cutie Mark Crusaders! I can just feel it! Today's the day we are all gonna get our cutie marks in... bowlin'!
Scootaloo: Whoo-hoo!
Sweetie Belle: [muffled] Whooo! [spits out bag] I mean, yaay!
Coconut Harvest: Why, after today, we won't even be the Cutie Mark Crusaders anymore! We'll be the... the Four Strikes!
Scootaloo: That makes us sound like we've struck out.
Apple Bloom: Mmm. How 'bout the Pin Twins?
Sweetie Belle: But there are four of us.
Coconut Harvest: Okay then... Um... the Bowlin' Dolls!
Sweetie Belle: The Bowling Dolls! That's it!
Scootaloo: Perfect!
Apple Bloom: All righty then! Let's bowl 'em over!
Scootaloo: [laughs nervously]
Coconut Harvest: Phpoo!
[ponies cheering]
Sea Swirl: Cool! A bowling cutie mark!
Apple Bloom: I did it! I did it! Blank?
[more cheering]
Coconut Harvest: But... but... what about my ball?
Sweetie Belle: That bowling sure was fun, even if all I got was gutter balls.
Scootaloo: Yeah, at least you were able to keep your ball in your lane. I don't think Mr. Kingpin is ever gonna let me play again! Hey, maybe I could get my cutie mark in demolition!
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle: [laughs]
Scootaloo: Aw, come on, Apple Bloom and Coconut Harvest.
Sweetie Belle: I know just what you need to put the bloom back on your apple.
Sweetie Belle: A treat from Sugarcube Corner will cheer you up.
Apple Bloom: No, it won't.
[kazoos blow]
Pinkie Pie: A party will cheer you up!
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle: [blow party whistles]
[kazoos blow]
Coconut Harvest: No, it won't.
[honk]
[crash]
Rarity: A lovely new chapeau will cheer you up.
Apple Bloom: No, it won't.
Scootaloo: Come on, Apple Bloom and Coconut Harvest, it's just a cutie mark!
Sweetie Belle: Or lack of a cutie mark!
Scootaloo: Shh! That's not helping! Apple Bloom and Coconut Harvest! Where are you going?! Apple Bloom and Coconut Harvest, come back!
Coconut Harvest: Whoa! Ah! Ooh! Ow! Nnnn...
Zecora: Well, who is it that we have here? Why, it's Apple Bloom and Coconut Harvest, my dears!
Apple Bloom: Ow...
Zecora: What has happened to you, youth? Ah, you've gone and chipped your tooth. Come with me, I have just the trick that will fix you up quite quick.
Coconut Harvest: [with a lisp] I've tried everything, Zecora, and still no cutie mark! Well, I'm gonna be as old as Granny Smith and still have a blank flank!
Zecora: Your frustration is well understood, but one must be patient for all things good.
Apple Bloom: [with a lisp] Ugh, I've heard that from every pony I know! And now from every zebra I know! I'm just too impatient to be patient. I just want my cutie mark and I want it now!
