Tara Strong: Twilight Sparkle

Quotes 

• Twilight Sparkle : [flipping though her "Perplexing Pony Plagues" book]  Hay fever... the trots...

  [gasps] 

  Twilight Sparkle : Cutie pox!

  Apple Bloom , Applejack , Spike : Cutie pox?

  Twilight Sparkle : Cutie pox. This puzzling pony plague afflicted a population of ponies back in the paleopony period!

  Spike : Heh, say that ten times fast!

• Twilight Sparkle : Zecora! Apple Bloom has cutie pox! We were just on our way to see if you had a cure!

  Applejack : But magically you're here! Was your zebra sense a-tinglin'?

  Zecora : My "zebra sense" did not bring me round, it was a special flower that I needed found. I thought I picked enough to fix all the potions I had to mix, but after my visit from Apple Bloom, some had mysteriously left my room. Apple Bloom! What do you say? Did this flower just walk away?

  Apple Bloom : I, um...

  Zecora : A cutie pox cure I have forsooth, for healing power is in the seeds of truth.

  Applejack : Well, well then give 'em to her! Quick!

  Zecora : These seeds must be planted in the ground. With the truth, they'll grow, and the cure is found.

  Applejack : Come again?

  Zecora : The seeds of truth do hold the cure, but one must speak words, true and pure.

  Applejack : Well then let's get to it! Alright, they're planted, now somepony tell the truth!

  Apple Bloom : [struggling with the "talents" her false cutie marks are making her perform]  Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

  Applejack : Somepony! Anypony!

  Pinkie Pie : Yesterday I told Mrs Cake that I ate two corn cakes, but I really ate three!

  [tense pause] 

  Pinkie Pie : Okay six! I ate six corn cakes!

  [cries] 

  Pinkie Pie : Make it stop! Oh, make it stop!

  Apple Bloom : Wah, I can't stand it any more! It's me! I admit it! I didn't earn my cutie mark! They're all fake! I figured the Heart's Desire would help me get what I wanted most! So when Zecora left her hut, I mixed up a special potion and put the rest of the Heart's Desire in it!

  [she quickly chomps up the flower grown from the seeds of truth] 

• Twilight Sparkle : Apple Bloom, would you mind writing to Princess Celestia and telling her what you've learned?

  Apple Bloom : I'd be happy to, Twilight! Spike?

  Spike : Ready!

  Apple Bloom : Dear Princess Celestia, waiting for what your heart desires can be really hard. So, you may try to take a shortcut. But this dishonesty never works, because you didn't earn what your heart desired. The only cure is being honest with yourself, and others. And that's something every heart desires.
