Zipp: "Okay, so here's how you practise using a tranquilliser. You find an easily-distracted target – I recommend diva sisters, though crafts-obsessed ditzy unicorns work equally well – make up some excuse for them to pose, and then, let them have it!

Izzy: "Now we've got another unicorn around, we can bounce off each other's sparkle in song! Join me, Misty: 'This is how a unicorn walks – walks!'"
Misty: "'This is how a unicorn… smiles?'"
Izzy: "That's not how the song goes…"
[Misty sweats nervously]

Hitch: "You know, Sunny, I've been thinking. Frankly, it's just not fair."
Sunny: "What? That we have inexplicable magic beyond the other ponies in this town that manifests only when we're in major trouble? I would have gone with convenient myself…"

Sunny Starscout: "Um, Izzy? Do you remember that little talk we had about reining in the glitter? I just got not conjuring the stuff when I alicorn it up under control…"

That moment when an actual PonyCon keeps its family-friendly image in line (least until the after-hours events), whereas the TV-Y show somehow let a body pillow slip through.

The original art for the convention kills it every year. Honestly, for that quality, and for this fandom, the price these displays fetched at the charity auction isn't surprising…

Izzy: “Yeah, this is fine. It's fine! Not like Sunny's creepy smile and Zipp's averted gaze could possibly be an indication all is not sunny – nailed it – with this special. Right?
“…Right?”

I'm gonna need a smaller lanyard…

Kelly Sheriden is nothing if not a method actor. Bereft of a TV-Y rating, Starlight (least, in Season Five) would totally make a cutthroat gesture. And get applause for it.

Ha! Told you AJ would get worn down over the weekend and relent to giving me a ride.
