Putting Your Hoof Down (2012)

Trevor Devall: Iron Will, Mr. Zippy

Quotes 

• Iron Will : Now, to demonstrate that Iron Will's techniques will work for anypony, I'm gonna need a volunteer.

  [one of his goat assistants picks out Fluttershy] 

  Iron Will : You, in the back row!

  Fluttershy : Who, me?

  Iron Will : Yes, you! Iron Will wants you onstage!

  Fluttershy : [gulps]  Uh, well...

  Iron Will : Now!

  Fluttershy : [whispering]  Okay.

  Iron Will : [she starts to trot onstage, only to be stopped by another one of Iron Will's goats]  Whoaa! He's blocking your path. What are you gonna do about it?

  Fluttershy : Um, politely walk around him?

  Iron Will : No.

  Fluttershy : Gingerly tip-toe around him?

  Iron Will : No!

  Fluttershy : Go back home and try again tomorrow?

  Iron Will : *No*! "When somepony tries to block, show them that you *rock*!"

  Fluttershy : Oh! Sorry.

  Iron Will : Don't be sorry! Be assertive! "Never apologize, when you can criticize."

  [clears throat, he yells at his assistant as an example] 

  Iron Will : Why don't you watch where you're going?

  [calmly, to Fluttershy] 

  Iron Will : Now, you try.

  Fluttershy : [to the goat]  Uh... next time, get out of the way before... I bump into you, 'cause... I totally won't be sorry when I do!

  Iron Will : [Iron Will sees bits/coins in his eyes]  You see my friends? If my techniques can work for this shy, little pony, then they can work for anypony!

  [crowd cheers] 

• Iron Will : Welcome, friends! My name is Iron Will, and today is the first day of your new life! I wanna hear you stomp if you're tired of being a pushover!

  [ponies stomping and cheering] 

  Iron Will : Stomp if you're tired of being a doormat!

  [ponies stomping and cheering] 

  Iron Will : Stomp if you wanna pay nothing for this seminar!

  [ponies stomping and cheering - cheering slows, turns into general confusion, then laughter] 

  Iron Will : That's no joke, friends. Iron Will is so confident that you will be one hundred percent satisfied with Iron Will's assertiveness techniques, that if you are not one hundred percent satisfied, you. Pay. Nothing. But I pity the fool who doubts Iron Will's methods.

  [to Meadow Song] 

  Iron Will : You don't doubt me, do you?

  Meadow Song : Uh-uh, no sir...

  [general agreement from other ponies] 

  Iron Will : That, my friends, is your first lesson. "Don't be shy, look 'em in the eye."

• Iron Will : [looking at the screen with a thumbs-up]  Iron Will's my name, training ponies is my game.

  Rarity : [Pinkie Pie and Rarity stare back at us, puzzled. Then they turn back and address Iron Will]  What a darling little catchphrase.

  Iron Will : Your friend Fluttershy *loved* Iron Will's catchphrases. Word on the street is that she doesn't take no guff from nopony! So, Iron Will is here to collect Iron Will's fee.

  Pinkie Pie : Fluttershy is in no shape to deal with *that* creep!

  Rarity : [gasps; starts running after him as he walks]  I'm sure a big, brave, powerful and rich monster- I mean, minotaur, like you, doesn't need that money right away. You can afford to come back later.

  Iron Will : Are you kidding? Fluttershy is overdue as it is. Iron Will collects *now*.

• Iron Will : [Pinkie Pie has suggested Iron Will give them some time to "track down" Fluttershy]  Iron Will does have some grocery shopping to do. Iron Will will come back this afternoon.

  [he gets out a small list and a basket and starts walking away] 

  Pinkie Pie : But that's only half a day. We need one full day at least.

  Iron Will : [stops walking]  Iron Will will delay for half a day and no longer!

  Pinkie Pie : A full day!

  Iron Will : Half day!

  Pinkie Pie : Full day!

  Iron Will : [making an actiony arm motion]  Half day!

  Pinkie Pie : [imitating him]  Half day!

  Iron Will : [bends down and yells in Pinkie's face]  Full day!

  Pinkie Pie : [stretches her neck like a giraffe to Iron Will's eye level and then snaps the rest of her body up to that height]  We need half a day and no more!

  Iron Will : [grabs her by the tail]  Well you'll get a full day and no less!

  Pinkie Pie : [walks away from him on air while still being held by her tail]  Okie dokie. See you tomorrow.

  [Iron Will pulls her down to the ground and looks confused] 

  Iron Will : Wait, what?

  [from inside her house, Fluttershy sneezes] 

  Iron Will : Huh. Sounds like the search won't be necessary. Iron Will collects *now*.

  [he goes up to Fluttershy's door] 

  Pinkie Pie : But we had an agreement! You gotta come back tomorrow!

  Iron Will : "When somepony tries to block, show them that you rock!"

  [he tosses Pinkie over the fence and a small cliff into a shallow, muddy brook next to Fluttershy's house] 

• Iron Will : [stretching up against Fluttershy's fence like a pro wrestler at the edge/rope of a wrestling ring]  Ohhh, I'd hate to be you right now, because Iron Will is gonna to rain down a world of hurt unless Iron Will gets his money *pronto*!

  [snorts on top of her] 

  Fluttershy : [calmly]  As I recall, during your workshop you promised one hundred percent satisfaction guaranteed, or you pay nothing. Well, I'm not satisfied.

  Iron Will : What do you mean you're not satisfied? Everypony has always been satisfied!

  Fluttershy : Well I guess I'm the first then. But since I'm not satisfied, I refuse to pay. It's as simple as that.

  [Pinkie's mouth drops open, Rarity closes it, Iron and his goat assistants quickly go into a quiet huddle] 

  Iron Will : Ohh, are you... sure you're not just a little bit satisfied? B-because maybe... we could, cut a deal, I-I mean, we're both reasonable creatures, aren't we?

  Fluttershy : I'm sorry, but no means no.

  Iron Will : No means no, huh? Nopony's ever said that to me before. Huh... I gotta remember that one. That's a good catchphrase for my next workshop.

  [he leaves with his assistants]
