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!

• [first lines] 

  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 : Woohoo!

  Sweetie Belle : [holding a bag in her mouth]  Wooo!

  [spits out bag] 

  Sweetie Belle : I mean, yay!

  Apple Bloom : Why, after today, we won't even be the Cutie Mark Crusaders anymore! We'll be the... the Three Strikes!

  Scootaloo : That makes us sound like we've struck out.

  Apple Bloom : Mmm. How 'bout the Pin Twins?

  Sweetie Belle : But there are three of us.

  Apple Bloom : Okay then... Um... the Bowling Dolls!

  Sweetie Belle : The Bowling Dolls! That's it!

  Scootaloo : Perfect!

  Apple Bloom : All righty then! Let's bowl 'em over!

• Apple Bloom : Whatcha got goin' on there?

  Zecora : I am brewing up another mix for a rooster and his chicks. It seems the rooster has lost its crow, making mornings very slow.

  Apple Bloom : Hey, I've seen that flower bloomin' in Ponyville! What is it?

  Zecora : It is one we call 'Heart's Desire'. A dash will ignite the rooster's fire. With Heart's Desire, his talent comes into view, and he'll give a mighty cock-a-doodle-doo!

• Apple Bloom : [It's]  A loop-de-hoop! 'Least, that's what I always called it. Applejack made it for me from an old rain barrel when I was littler! Who knew that loop-de-hoop would end up bein' my special talent!

  Sweetie Belle : Wow, Apple Bloom, that's amazing!

  Diamond Tiara : That's it? That's your talent?

  Silver Spoon : Spinning a hoop around your waist? Puh-lease.

  Apple Bloom : Oh, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

• Cheerilee : [sternly]  Apple Bloom?

  Apple Bloom : Yes, Miss Cheerilee?

  Cheerilee : I want you to take your loop-de-hoop into the yard,

  [happily] 

  Cheerilee : and give us all a lesson on your amazing loop-de-hooping!

• Applejack : Yee haw, little sis! Congratulations on gettin' not just one, but two cutie marks! We're mighty proud of you, right Big Macintosh?

  Big Macintosh : Eeyup.

  Applejack : I've never seen anythin' like it, have you Big Mac?

  Big Macintosh : Nnnope!

  Granny Smith : Why, the way you were a-hoopin' and a-hoppin' and kickin' and spinnin' reminded me of when I was a spry young filly.

  [dancing around, she pulls a muscle] 

  Granny Smith : Guh, charlie horse, charlie horse!

  [Big Mac fixes it] 

  Granny Smith : Ooh, that's better.

  Applejack : Why Apple Bloom, I think you're ready to hit the rodeo circuit right now!

  Apple Bloom : Actually, I'm ready to hit the hay right now. I'm plum tuckered. I'll see y'all in the mornin'. Night!

  Applejack : Night! Oh my, little Apple Bloom has finally blossomed, hasn't she, Big Mac?

  Big Macintosh : Eeyup!

• Apple Bloom : [a fleur-de-lis cutie mark appears on Apple Bloom]  Oh no! Sacrebleu! Plus de marques de cutie!

  [gasps] 

  Apple Bloom : Qu'est-ce c'est? Je parle français?

  Applejack : My sister's speakin' in fancy!

• 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.

• Applejack : I sure am proud of you, sis. Seems like you finally learned the importance of patience.

  Apple Bloom : Yup! All good things come to those who wait.

  [short pause] 

  Apple Bloom : Well! I've waited long enough.

  Scootaloo : Actually, that was *way* too long.

  Applejack : What?
