My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (TV Series)

Secret of My Excess (2011)

Tara Strong: Twilight Sparkle

Quotes 

• Zecora : Ooh, he is starting to mature. Of this fact I am quite sure.

  Twilight Sparkle : Mature? So he's just... growing up? But that doesn't explain why he keeps grabbing things.

  Zecora : A dragon's heart is prone to greed, a steady diet to make growth speed. Then, the resulting bigger size only makes their hunger rise. If this trait should go unchecked, if Spike continues to collect more growth will certainly occur - he is going to turn into a monster.

  Twilight Sparkle : [gasps]  You mean the more things a dragon collects, the bigger and greedier he gets? But how do we stop him before he's completely out of control?

  Zecora : If his monstrous ways you wish to impede, you must prevent him from practicing greed.

• Applejack : Now who in Ponyville would steal my apples? For that matter, who would steal my leaves?

  Twilight Sparkle : Applejack, help! Spike's running wild and I need you to lasso him!

  Applejack : [thinks for a moment; laughs]  Oh, that's a good one, Twilight. Sweet little Spike, running wild. Ha, what a laugh.

  [Overgrown Spike stomps past them, and two leaves stick to Applejack's face like a mustache] 

  Applejack : Twilight, get my rope.

• Twilight Sparkle : Pinkie Pie! Stop giving him cake!

  Pinkie Pie : I'm not giving him cake, I'm *assaulting* him with cake!

• [first lines] 

  Twilight Sparkle : [Twilight, in her library, lights a candle and closes some window curtains]  No distractions. Today is too important. Re-shelving day.

  [she telekinetically removes all of the books from the shelves and drops them on the floor] 

  Twilight Sparkle : Understanding Medieval Equestria goes in Pony History.

  [she floats the books all around her as she examines them one by one] 

  Twilight Sparkle : Modern Spellcasting. That's Classics. The Art of the To-Do List... actually, I kinda wanna read that again.

  Spike : [chuckling] 

  Twilight Sparkle : Spike! What are you laughing at?

  Spike : [holding a bright red ruby gem]  This little beauty is my birthday present to myself! It's a fire ruby! I've been aging it for months, and it's almost ripe!

  [he hits it with a tuning fork and it pings] 

  Spike : [sees the books on the floor, giggles]  Hey, you took my advice! Just use the whole floor as one big shelf.

  Twilight Sparkle : Grrr...

• Rarity : [sees Spike's fire ruby]  I hope it's as tasty as it is beautiful, Spike. I've never seen anything quite so stunning before.

  Spike : Gosh... you really like it, huh?

  Rarity : Like it? It's *magnificent*.

  Spike : [sighs]  Then you should have it. This beautiful gem was meant to be with you.

  Rarity : I don't know what to say... This is so thoughtful. Oh, my little Spikey-wikey!

  [kisses] 

  Rarity : Thank you *so* much!

  Twilight Sparkle : Wow, Spike, that's one of the kindest, most generous things you've ever done. I've never seen Rarity so happy!

  Spike : I will never wash this cheek again.

  [sighs and laughs] 

• Spike : [starting to feel greedy from other ponies giving him gifts when he says it's his birthday]  This is unbelievable!

  [chuckles] 

  Spike : Hey Junebug! It's my birthday!

  Junebug : Happy birthday, Spike.

  Spike : Aren't you gonna give me something? You know, like a birthday present?

  Junebug : Um, I... I don't have anything.

  Spike : Well how about those flowers? I'll take those...

  Twilight Sparkle : Spike! Uh, sorry, Junebug, I think Spike might've gotten a little carried away.

  Spike : Uh, no problem... H-Happy birthday, Spike!

  Twilight Sparkle : What are you doing? You're out here demanding gifts now?

  Spike : Wow, you're right, Twilight. I don't know what got into me. Thanks for snapping me out of it. I'd better go give Cheerilee her hat back.

• Dr. Muffin Top : Well now, what seems to be the problem?

  Twilight Sparkle : [as Twilight speaks, Spike continues to attempt to swipe things in the doctor's office, and she keeps slapping his hand]  This is Spike.

  [slaps] 

  Twilight Sparkle : And something's wrong with him.

  [slaps] 

  Twilight Sparkle : He used to be half this size! And he keeps trying to take things that aren't

  [slaps] 

  Twilight Sparkle : his!

  Dr. Muffin Top : All right then, let's just have a look see, shall we?

  [up in Spike's face] 

  Dr. Muffin Top : Widdul guy not feewing too good? Who's a brave widdul boy, huh? Who's a brave one?

  [Spike breathes fire on him] 

  Twilight Sparkle : So? What do you think, Doctor?

  Dr. Muffin Top : Well, I think I know what the problem is. He's... a dragon!

  Twilight Sparkle : That's not the problem. He's always been a dragon.

  Dr. Muffin Top : Oh. Well, that would explain it. Listen, I don't know anything about dragons, I know about baby ponies. Maybe you should try a vet.

  Twilight Sparkle : [sighs]  Okay. Thank you, doctor.

• Dr. Flummoxed : [a veterinarian]  Hm, well, I'm flummoxed. Y'bring me a dog, I've got it diagnosed in seconds. Snake even faster, but... to be honest, I've never seen a real live dragon before.

  Spike : [snorts] 

  Dr. Flummoxed : [treating Spike like a dog]  Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy? Sit.

  Spike : [pants] 

  Twilight Sparkle : Thanks anyway. C'mon, Spike.
