Quotes 

• Rainbow Dash : And then, I zoomed into the well. I knew it would be dark and dangerous, but I didn't let that stop me. Danger's my middle name. Rainbow "Danger" Dash. Thinking back on it, I acted pretty awesomely heroic that day.

  Spike : [writing everything she says]  That day.

  Applejack : Awesomely heroic that day and awesomely *arrogant* ever since.

  Pinkie Pie , Twilight Sparkle : Mm-hm.

  Rainbow Dash : Hey, Applejack. How'd you like to be *immortalized* as my friend?

  [grabs her closer in an awkward embrace] 

  Applejack : Immorta-what?

  [camera clicking] 

  Twilight Sparkle : [to Spike]  Are you taking notes?

  Spike : Yup! I've been hoof-picked by Rainbow Dash herself, to write her autobiography!

  Twilight Sparkle : Umm, autobiographies are supposed to be written *by* the pony they are about...

  Rainbow Dash : Maybe for your normal, run-of-the-mill ponies. But I'm far too busy saving lives to stop and write. That's why I hired Spike as my ghost writer.

  Pinkie Pie : [yelps]  Spike's a ghost!

  [she zips out of the room] 

• Pony : Holy turnips, that pony came outta nowhere!

  Daisy : I've never seen such bravery in all my life!

  Mayor Mare : That's right! Ponyville has a new hero. A mysterious mare that has done well by our fair city today. I dub this new masked hero "The Mysterious Mare Do Well"!

  [ponies cheering] 

  Rainbow Dash : Mare Do Well, huh? Well that mare would do well to stay outta my way! Ponyville's only got room for one hero, and that hero is me!

• Applejack : Gotta hand it to the girl, that Mare Do Well sure can pull off some pretty heroic feats.

  Twilight Sparkle : I must say, I was impressed by that spell she used to fix the dam. Seems like something like that would take quite a bit of study.

  [Rainbow Dash growls] 

  Fluttershy : She really cares about everypony's safety.

  Rarity : Have you *seen* her costume? It is to die for! If you ask me she's a hero of fashion.

  Applejack : *And* she's modest *and* humble. She lets her actions speak for themselves. Gotta admire that.

  Rainbow Dash : I *don't* have to admire that! I don't think she's all that great!

  Spike : [writing]  She's... great.

  Rainbow Dash : I didn't say that.

  Twilight Sparkle : Sounds like somepony's jealous.

  Rainbow Dash : Who, me?

  Spike : [writing]  Rainbow Dash is jealous.

  Rainbow Dash : Don't write that, Spike!

  [others laughing] 

  Spike : Correction: Rainbow Dash is *very* jealous.

  Rainbow Dash : Fine! Laugh all you want, but I'll be the one laughing when I prove to you all that I'm just as good- no, that I'm a *better* hero than Mare Do Well!

  [angrily flies away as the others make different exasperated looks] 

• Rainbow Dash : [grunting is heard from offscreen]  Somepony's in trouble!

  [Sparkler, a unicorn, is trying to open a jar of peanut butter. She is having a picnic with Tootsie Flute, a younger filly] 

  Rainbow Dash : Better let me handle this, ma'am. For your own safety, I must ask you to stand back!

  Sparkler : [wearily]  Oh, brother.

  [Rainbow Dash tries to open the jar with her mouth and teeth, but with no success. Sparkler levitates the jar away from Rainbow, taps it against the edge of a nearby fountain, and re-presents the jar to Rainbow. Rainbow is now able to pop the lid off effortlessly] 

  Rainbow Dash : Ta-da!

  [Sparkler floats it back to herself] 

  Sparkler : [spreading on bread]  Uh... thanks.

  Rainbow Dash : How would you describe what I just did? Would you say I was amazing?

  Sparkler : Aren't you milking this a bit?

  Rainbow Dash : Please, just answer the question. Was I or was I not amazing?

  Sparkler : [annoyed]  Oh, you're amazing alright. An amazingly...

  Rainbow Dash : Oh look!

  [she zips over to an push-style cylinder lawn mower and begins pushing it all over an area of the lawn, trimming it down] 

  Rainbow Dash : Another great feat of heroism! I have just saved that grass!

  Groundskeeper : From what?

  [she crouches to eye it closely] 

  Rainbow Dash : From weeds! Weeds that were attempting to eat this lawn!

  Tootsie Flute : [several other unimpressed ponies have gathered to watch the spectacle]  Lame...

  [everypony walks away, one mutters "whatever"] 

  Rainbow Dash : [depressed]  Aww, who am I kidding?

• Twilight Sparkle : Celebrating your accomplishments is natural. But...

  Applejack : ...Rubbin' them in everypony's face is not.

  Pinkie Pie : Yeah, the only thing that should be rubbed in anypony's face is chocolate cake.

  [she begins licking her front hooves] 

  Applejack : I think we're getting off topic here.

  Twilight Sparkle : What we're trying to say is, it's great to be really good at something, but it's important to act with grace and humility.

  Rainbow Dash : Ohhhh. That makes *loads* more sense. Yeah. You're right. And I guess I should've also acted with grace and humility when others outshine me. Like Mare Do Well.

  Twilight Sparkle : Sounds like you've got a letter to write to Princess Celestia.

  Spike : [Approaches Rainbow Dash]  Already got it covered! As your ghost writer, I already penned a letter to the Princess!

  Rainbow Dash : That's nice of you, Spike, but, I really wanna write this letter myself.

  Spike : Awww... come on! I wrote the whole thing already!

  [opens the scroll and holds it in front of Rainbow Dash] 

  Rainbow Dash : Okay, let's hear it.

  Spike : [clears throat]  Dear Princess Cel...

  Rainbow Dash : [Suddenly points behind Spike]  Look out! It's a real ghost!

  [Spike and Pinkie Pie look the way she's pointing and scream and run away, everypony else laughs, then Twilight Sparkle levitates a scroll and quill in front of Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash grabs the quill with her mouth, then winks to the viewers before the screen draws to a close]
