May the Best Pet Win! (2011)

Andrea Libman: Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy

Quotes 

• Rainbow Dash : [singing]  The bat would be awesome, but the wasp I'm digging too/Do you have something in a yellow-striped bat?

  Fluttershy : [singing]  No,/I've got a hot pink flamingo, just dying to meet you.

  Rainbow Dash : What to do, what to do. Ahh!/A prize! That's it! There's really just one way/To find out which animal's best/Hold a contest, of speed, agility and guts/That will put each pet to the test!

  Fluttershy : Don't forget style, that should be considered!

  Rainbow Dash : Then we'll know for sure who's best of the litter!

  Fluttershy : The one who is awesome and cool

  Rainbow Dash : Just like me/Can't settle for less, 'cause I'm the best

  Rainbow Dash , Fluttershy : [harmony when they sing together]  So a contest we will see!

  Rainbow Dash : Who's the number one, greatest, perfectest pet in the

  Rainbow Dash , Fluttershy : World... for... me!

  Fluttershy : May the games

  Rainbow Dash , Fluttershy : begin!

  Rainbow Dash : [spoken]  And may the best pet win!

  [song ends] 

• Rainbow Dash : What are you all doing out here?

  Applejack : Why, we always round up our critters for a regular ol' Pony Pet Playdate in this park.

  Rainbow Dash : Uh, you do?

  Applejack : Same time every week.

  Fluttershy : I thought you knew. You didn't know?

  [to the others] 

  Fluttershy : She didn't know?

  Twilight Sparkle : Well, we had initially planned on inviting Rainbow, of course, except...

  Pinkie Pie : We were *totally* gonna invite you, Rainbow, then Twilight remembered that you don't even have a pet, and Rarity remembered that you really like to take naps in the afternoon, so Applejack figured you wouldn't be missing out on anything anyway, and Fluttershy and I nodded our heads in agreement like this.

  [Pinkie pushes Fluttershy's head up and down in a nodding motion. Fluttershy continues to do so during her next line, her entire body rocking as well] 

  Fluttershy : Oh, please don't be mad at us.

  Rainbow Dash : Oh, I'm not mad. You all are right. Not much point of a Pony Pet Playdate for me if I'm a pony without a pet, right?

• Fluttershy : [singing]  Now, Rainbow my dear, I cannot express my delight/It's abundantly clear/That somewhere out here/Is a pet that will suit you just right.

  Rainbow Dash : [singing]  I can't wait to get started,/but first let me set a few rules/It's of utmost importance/The pet that I get/Is something that's awesome and cool!

• Rainbow Dash : Listen, turtle...

  Fluttershy : Tortoise.

  Rainbow Dash : Whatever!

• Pinkie Pie : Wait! Look!

  Fluttershy : It's the turtle!

  Pinkie Pie , Applejack , Rarity , Twilight Sparkle : Tortoise!

  Fluttershy : Whatever...

• Pinkie Pie : [the falcon won Rainbow Dash's race, thus supposedly earning the right to be Rainbow's pet]  You got your perfect pet, right?

  Fluttershy : The best of the best like you wanted, remember? It can fly and it's not a squirrel! Should we sing about it again?

  Applejack : A falcon sure looks good on ya, Rainbow.

  Rainbow Dash : [the tortoise is surprised by a camera flash]  Easy, fella. Nothing to be afraid of. The falcon sure does looks cool... he's absolutely everything I wanted in a pet.

  [sighs] 

  Fluttershy : Yay?

  Rainbow Dash : But I said whoever crosses the finish line *with* me gets to be my pet.

  Pinkie Pie : You did! You did say that! She did say that, that was the rule!

  Rainbow Dash : And the only racer who crossed the finish line with me, was the one who stopped to save me when I needed help. The tortoise!

• Rainbow Dash : Spike, take a letter. "Dear Princess Celestia, I used to think that the most important traits to look for in a pet, or any best friend, were all physical competitive abilities. But now I can see how short-sighted and shallow that was. Today I learned what the most important quality really is. A certain kind of spirit. A stick-to-it-ive-ness. A never give up, can-do attitude that's the mark of a real winner. And this tortoise has it."

  Twilight Sparkle : Tenacity.

  Rainbow Dash : Gesundheit. You just can't stop that little guy. He's like a... like a... tank!

  Fluttershy : But Rainbow! You didn't want a pet that couldn't fly because it would keep you grounded and hold you back, remember?

  Rainbow Dash : Hmm...

  Rainbow Dash : [the next day, the six friends come back to the park with their pets, and Rainbow Dash is with them, with her new pet tortoise]  Heh. C'mon, Tank! We're gonna be late for our very first Pony Pet Playdate!

  [Tank follows her in a helicopter-propeller suit on his shell, powered by magic, that lets him fly anywhere]
