Fluttershy: Lunch time! Who's hungry?

[animals chittering]

Rose Light: Plenty for everypony. Slow down, sweetie. [giggles]

Angel: [thumps on ground]

Fluttershy: Here you go, Angel bunny.

Angel: [continues thumping]

Rose Light: Okay, Mister Picky-pants, you win. Carrots, lettuce and apples, yum-yum-yum!

[crash]

Fluttershy: What? But... Well then, what will you eat? I'm not sure I can even make that. Well... I don't want you to starve... Oh, are you sure I can't tempt you with a nice crisp piece of–

[smack]

Rose Light: [sighs] I'll make your special recipe.

Fluttershy: Hmm, let's see. Asparagus. Excuse me, um, I think you just stepped in front of me? Excuse me, I think you made a mistake? You see I was actually here first and–

Lucy Packard: Sorry, didn't notice you there.

Rose Light: I know.

Sand Trap: [chuckles]

Fluttershy: Oh, pardon me, sir–

Sand Trap: Yes, what?

Rose Light: I think you just cut in front of me.

Sand Trap: A cut of celery? But– this is the asparagus stand!

Fluttershy: I said [into ear trumpet] I think you just cut in front of me.

Sand Trap: Ohoh, no need, dearie, I'm already in front!

Rose Light: I noticed.

Turf: [fades in] ...And I was like, 'Oh, wow.'

Fluttershy: Hey!

Turf: Would you mind moving back? You're in my personal space.

Rose Light: But–

Surf: Seriously, do you need your asparagus so badly? Get a life.

Fluttershy: Oh, okay. There's no rush.

Rarity: Fluttershy and Rose Light, you mustn't let them treat you that way.

Rose Light: Oh, it's-it's really no big deal...

Pinkie Pie: It's bigger than big. It's double big. You are a pony with a problem.

Fluttershy: What problem? Oh, go right ahead, Pinkie Pie. You first.

Pinkie Pie: Right there! That's the problem.

Rarity: You've got to stop being such a doormat.

Rose Light: A doormat?

Rarity: A pushover, darling. You've got to stand up for yourself, promise us.

Fluttershy: Oh, okay. I promise. Oh! Good!

[bit clinking]

Rose Light: Oh, that's okay, I don't mind.

Rarity: Watch and learn. Hold it right there, Mister small and handsome.

Gizmo: Uh, who, me?

Rarity: Oh, of course you. Nopony ever called you handsome before?

Gizmo: Uhh, that'd be a big no.

Rarity: Oh, well, they should! How about flexing some of your muscles for me? [gasps] Oh, my heavens! Do you think a strong, handsome stallion such as yourself could give my friend the last asparagus?
