Stare Where My Eyes Could See/Transcript


 * V: Where'd I put that? Ohh, I thought I already...
 * [clatter]
 * V: Ohh, and I can't forget I've got to... oh, how am I ever gonna get this done?
 * Q: Are you sure I can't help? I could—
 * V: No!
 * Q: Maybe just a—
 * V: No thanks!
 * Q: How about—
 * V: Just stand over there.
 * Q: But—
 * V: Where you'll be out of the way. Ribbon, ribbon! Where's the ribbon?!
 * Q: I got it!
 * [creaking]
 * Q: Whoa!
 * V: [gasps]
 * [clattering noises]
 * V: Aah!
 * [crashing]
 * Q: Um, I-I'll just go and stand over there, where I'll be... out of the way.
 * V: [sigh]


 * Q: Won't you at least let me help you clean up?
 * V: No. You've helped me quite enough.
 * Q: I'm sorry, sis! I just thought that if I could help, I might find my special gift and finally earn my cutie mark.
 * V: I understand. It's just that... I need this time to fill this order without any... complications. Okay, all done. Now, back to work. I've lost a lot of time, and I cannot have any more interruptions.
 * [doorbell rings]
 * V: Oh, what now?!
 * Y: Oh, sorry. I thought the "open" sign meant you were open, but I must have been mistaken.
 * V: [gasps] Y! Forgive me! I was so wrapped up in my work that I forgot you were bringing T back from her grooming!
 * Y: No worries, V. I've left her there in the basket.
 * T: [purrs]
 * V: Oh, she looks great! I just don't understand how you're able to do it! I can't get near her without getting a swipe from her claws.
 * T: [hisses]
 * V: Ahh! Did you use... the Stare on her?
 * Y: Oh, no! I wouldn't! I couldn't! I-I don't really have any control over when that happens. I-It just happens. No, I'm just good with animals. It's my special gift, you know?
 * V: Well, you should have a picture of T as a cutie mark instead of those butterflies.
 * Q: Ooh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Maybe I can be good with animals, too!
 * [shing!]
 * Q: Or not.
 * Y and V: [laughs]
 * V: I'm sorry I can't invite you to stay and chat, Y. I've bitten off a bit more than I can chew with this order.
 * Q: But you're not eating anything.
 * V: No, Q, it's an expression. It means that I've taken on more work than I can handle. I've got twenty of these special robes to make tonight! They're due in Trottingham tomorrow morning.
 * [twinkling]
 * Y: [gasp]
 * V: See? I've lined them in a special gold silk. It took so long to make, but I think it adds just the right touch, don't you?
 * Y: These are lovely, but twenty by tonight? How will you get it all done?
 * V: Well, I, uh...
 * Q: Oh, oh, oh! Maybe I could... just... just stand over here and watch.
 * V: I'll manage.
 * Y: Well, maybe I should get out of your mane so you can work.
 * N and F: Hi, Y! Hi, V!
 * V: Hello, uh, girls...
 * N and F: Hey, Q!
 * Q: F! N!
 * F: You ready for tonight?
 * Q: Yup! Cutie mark planning session is a go!
 * N: Tonight is the night we each try to find our own special talent.
 * F: Even if it takes us all night!
 * N: I'm ready! You ready?
 * F: Very ready!
 * F, N and Q: letter sleepover at V's! Yay!
 * Q: And... look what I made us!
 * [trumpet flourish]
 * N and F: Oh, wow! [laughter, gasps] That's so cool! Oooh!
 * Y: What does that patch on your cape mean?
 * F, N and Q: The F, N and Q! Yay!
 * F: We're on a crusade, a mission!
 * N: To find our cutie marks!
 * Q: Yup. And look. I lined them with this special gold silk. It took sooo long to make, but I think it adds just the right touch, don't you?
 * N and F: Oooooh!
 * V: Q! What have you done? That was the last of the gold silk! Oh, now I'll have to make more! Oh, I hope I can make more. I'm gonna have to work all night! Which means... Sorry, girls, I'm afraid the Letter sleepover is cancelled.
 * Q: What?!
 * V: I just won't have any time to watch you if I want to get these robes delivered on time.
 * Q: But—
 * V: No buts this time. I'm sorry, Q. It's just the way it has to be.
 * F, N and Q: Awwww...
 * Y: I, uh, I suppose I could take them for the night.
 * V: I couldn't ask you to do that.
 * Y: Oh, it's no problem at all.
 * V: Have you met my sister and her friends? A problem is all it would be.
 * Y: Did I have a problem with T? You've seen how well I handle small creatures!
 * V: I suppose that's true... and I do have a lot of work to do...
 * Y: Come on, it'll be fun.
 * V: I assure you, they're quite a handful.
 * Y: These sweet little angels?
 * V: Well... all right.
 * F, N and Q: letter sleepover at Y's cottage! Yay!
 * Y: So cute. W-wait for me!
 * V: Hmmm...


 * Y: Oh, won't this be ever so fun? We can have a nice little tea party, and braid each others' tails, and sit quietly and color, and tell each other fairy tales, and—
 * [rush of air, clattering hooves]
 * F, N and Q: [giggling]
 * A: Hello, Y.
 * Y: Oh! Hello, A. Where are you off to?
 * A: I'm heading to the Haunted Forest to B's to get some of my favorite tea.
 * Y: Th-The Haunted Forest? Ah, you'll be careful, won't you?
 * A: Of course! How about you? What are you doing with the girls?
 * Y: V has a big order to fill tonight, so I volunteered to take the girls over to my cottage for a sleepover.
 * A: Wow. Sounds like everypony has their hooves full today. Taking care of those three fillies all by yourself? You sure you can handle it?
 * Y: What? These sweet little angels? They'll be no problem at all.


 * [crickets chirping, owl hooting]
 * [door closes]
 * Q: Wow! Look at this place! What's that? Are those Ks?
 * F, N and Q: [unintelligible chatter]
 * Y: [to herself] No... problem at all. [normal] Okay, girls, uh, what should we do?
 * F: I'm gonna get my mark first!
 * Y: Girls?
 * Q: Nuh-uh!
 * Y: Should we—
 * N: I am!
 * Y: Girls, okay, now settle—
 * F: I'm staying up all night!
 * N: Me, too!
 * Q: Me, three!
 * Y: I-I know you're excited, but— girls, oh, oh, careful with the— oh, ah, girls— [huffs] So! What do you wanna do? Play a game?
 * F: We are the F, N and Q!
 * N: And we want to crusade for our cutie marks!
 * Q: And, and, and, we, um— yeah! What they said!
 * Y: Mmm, I don't know... how about a nice quiet little tea party?
 * F: Or... we could go adventuring in the Haunted Forest!
 * N and Q: Yeah!
 * Y: Oh, no! The Haunted Forest is much too dangerous. It's filled with far too many strange creatures.
 * Q: But you could go with us and we could catch those creatures. We could be, umm... creature catchers!
 * F, N and Q: Yay! letter creature catchers!
 * F: Arrrr! I am a dangerous creature from the Haunted Forest! Rrrarr!
 * Q: Halt, dangerous creature of the Haunted Forest. I am Q, the creature catcher, and I'm here to catch you!
 * F: You can never catch me! I am far too powerful and dangerous!
 * Q: You cannot run from me!
 * F: Raaaar!
 * Q: [giggling]
 * F: Raaaar! [giggling]
 * Y: Um, oh, maybe that's not such a— now, girls, how about we do some nice coloring? Doh—
 * Q: Come back, dangerous creature, so I can catch you!
 * F: Never!
 * Y: Careful... you don't...
 * [crash]
 * Y: ...break anything.
 * Q: Sorry, Y.
 * F: Yeah, sorry.
 * N: I guess we aren't creature catchers.
 * Y: Oh, girls, it's okay. I—
 * N: I know! We could be letter carpenters!
 * Y: C-carpenters?
 * N: Hammer!
 * F: Hammer.
 * Q: Hammer!
 * F: Hammer. Hammer! ...Hammer.
 * [various construction sounds]
 * Q: Um ... that doesn't look like a table.
 * F: We were making a table?
 * N: Somepony needs to put this thing out of its misery.
 * F: We are definitely not Cutie Mark Carpenters.
 * Q: Who wants a picture of a hammer on their flank anyway?
 * Y: Well, now that we've gotten that out of the way, how about a game?
 * N: A game?
 * Y: It's called "Shhh!"
 * F: What's that?
 * Y: Well, it's a game about who can be quiet the longest. Sound fun? I'm the world champ, you know. I bet you can't beat me! [squee] [deep breath]
 * F: I lose!
 * Q: Me too!
 * N: Me three!
 * Y: [sigh]
 * F: Okay, now what can we do?
 * N: Oh! How about letter coal miners?
 * F, N and Q: Yeah!
 * Y: No!
 * F, N and Q: Awwww!
 * Y: I mean, it's time for bed, don't you think? Aren't you excited to get all toasty and warm in your snuggly-wuggly widdle beds?
 * N: Snuggly-wuggly? But we have more crusadin' to do!
 * F: We've got plans!
 * Q: And capes!
 * Y: Um, okay, um. Maybe the crusading can wait until morning? When it's light? And not so... dark?


 * N: How are we gonna find our special talent in our sleep?
 * Y: [puffs] Maybe you'll have a lovely little dream about your special talent.
 * F: But we're not even tired!
 * Y: How about I sing you a lullaby?
 * F, N and Q: Mm-hmm, yeah!
 * Y: [clears throat]
 * Q: I know this one!
 * Y: Oh, how wonderful! Why don't you sing it with me?
 * Q: [clears throat]
 * [Ks clucking and flapping]
 * F: What is that?
 * Y: [gasp] Girls!
 * N: Y, your Ks are on the loose!
 * Q: I wonder what could have caused that...
 * F: Don't worry, Y, the F, N and Q will handle this!
 * Q: letter K herders! Yay!
 * [rush of air, more K clucking]
 * Y: No, I don't think that's a— ah, come back! Please!
 * [F, N and Q giggling, more K flapping and squawking]
 * Y: Come on, girls, the Ks are fine— oh, girls, um... girls!
 * [Ks flapping and clucking]
 * Y: Come on, in you go.
 * [eerie music]
 * Y: There's some good Ks. Okay, you three. Isn't it about time you got into bed?
 * F, N and Q: But—
 * Y: Please?


 * Y: So, no more crusading for tonight, all right?
 * F: Yes, Y!
 * Q: We promise, Y!
 * N: Good night, Y!
 * Y: Okay, good night.
 * Q: Okay, so what kind of crusading do we do next?
 * N: There's not much we can do from this room... unless we become letter cottage cleaners.
 * Q: N-no, thanks.
 * N: Well, we have to think of somethin'. We can't just waste this opportunity to find out what our special talents are. Hey, girls! Look! Some of the Ks may have escaped!
 * Q: Into the forest!
 * F, N and Q: [whispering] F, N and Q K rescuers are go!


 * Y: [sigh] It really wasn't that hard ... I mean, all I needed to do was just show them who's in charge. Nothing's gonna get past Y! Good with animals, good with kids.


 * [tearing fabric]
 * F: [whispering] Wait up!


 * Y: Mmm, peace and quiet. [gasps] Too quiet. [gasps] Girls? Girls? Elizabeth! She's missing! Girls?! [gasps] Oh, no! They must have gone looking for my missing K! Which means... they must have gone into... [gasp] [gulp] The Haunted Forest!


 * Y: Those girls have really done it this time! They've really bitten off more than they can chew! Oh, just like me! I never should have offered to watch them. [deep breath]


 * N: Here, K! Brawck, bawk, brawck!
 * F: What are you doing?
 * N: Callin' for the K!
 * F: That is not how you call a K.
 * N: Oh, and you know how to call a K?
 * F: I know that's not the way.
 * N: Then show me.
 * F: I don't have to show you!
 * N: You're just K!
 * F: Am not!
 * N: Oh, wait, now I know how to call a K! F! Scoot-Fooo!
 * F: That's so funny I forgot to laugh.
 * N: You also forgot how to call a K!
 * F: Why, you...
 * N: [blows raspberry]
 * Q: Come on, guys, we're not gonna find the K or our cutie marks by arguing.
 * N: Maybe that's our special talent. Arguin'!
 * F: Is not!
 * N: Is too!
 * F: Is not!
 * N: Is too! Anything yet?
 * F: Nope.
 * N: Darn.
 * F and N: [giggle]
 * [wind blows]
 * N: Heeeere, K, baaawk, bawk, baaaaawk!


 * Y: [whispering] Girls? [gulp] Girls? [squeak] Oh! Get a hold of yourself, Y. Just put one hoof in front of the other.
 * [twig snaps]
 * Y: Ahh! What was that?
 * [thump]
 * Y: [scream] A? I-Is that you? Oh, A, it is you. Thank goodness you're here. I need your help. The girls are out here somewhere, and I'm afraid that they're— [gasps] Oh! What's happened to you? [scream]
 * [thud]
 * Y: Oh, no! If you've been turned to stone, it must mean— oh! Oh no, the girls! Don't move. I'll be back for you. Girls!


 * F: Is not!
 * N: Is too!
 * F: Is not!
 * N: Is too!
 * Q: Girls! Our special talent is not arguing. Besides, what would the cutie mark of somepony whose talent is arguing even look like?
 * Y: Girls? Girls?
 * Q: Y?
 * Y: Girls! Thank goodness I found you!
 * N: Y, what—
 * Y: Girls, we have to leave the forest at once!
 * Q: But... we haven't found the K yet!
 * Y: There's no time for that. There's Beatrice on the loose!
 * N: Bea-what now?
 * Y: Beatrice! It's a frightening creature with the head of a K and the body of a medusa. Now, come on!
 * F: The head of a K and the body of a medusa? That doesn't sound scary, that sounds silly!
 * N: Why, if I ever saw one of them thingies face-to-face, I'd laugh at how silly it was.
 * Y: No! Never look one in the eye!
 * [K clucking]
 * Y: If you look Beatrice in the eye—
 * N: The K!
 * Y: Girls! Wait!
 * F, N and Q: Here, K!
 * [K clucking]
 * [growling]
 * Q: There he is!
 * F: Two Ks?
 * N: I thought only one escaped!
 * Q: Grab them both!
 * [K clucking]
 * Beatrice:[roar]
 * [K clucking]
 * [thud]
 * F, N and Q: [scream]
 * [thump]
 * F, N and Q: [gasp]
 * Y: See? Now we have to—
 * F, N and Q: [screaming]
 * Y: Girls, please. Girls— now listen to me, girls, I— please!
 * [screaming]
 * Beatrice: [squawking]
 * Y: Girls! Behind me, now!
 * Beatrice: [squawking and roaring]
 * Y: You! Just who do you think you are, going around turning others into stone?
 * Beatrice: [dismayed squawk]
 * Y: You should be ashamed of yourself. I have a mind to find your mother and tell her what you've been up to, young man. Now you go over there, and turn Elizabeak and my friend A back to normal, and don't ever let me catch you doing this again. Do you understand me?
 * Beatrice: [dismayed squawking]
 * Y: Are you girls all right? I was so worried!
 * F: Yeah, fine!
 * Q: Thanks to that stare of yours.
 * F: You're like the queen of stares. You're the—
 * F, N and Q: Stare Master!
 * Q: We're sorry we snuck out of the house and into the forest.
 * N: Yeah. We'll listen to you from now on.
 * F: We promise.
 * Y: Oh, you do, do you? Well, you better, or I'll give you... the Stare!
 * Y and F, N and Q: [giggling]
 * A: What... what happened?
 * [K squawking]


 * F, N and Q: [giggling]
 * Y: And that's when it brought you back from stone.
 * A: This is gonna make quite a letter to the princess. I was wrong about you. You certainly do know how to handle those girls.
 * Y: Oh, I wouldn't go that far.
 * A: Hmm? How so?
 * Y: I assumed that I'd be just as good with kids as I am with animals. Boy, was I wrong. I really learned the hard way not to bite off more than I could chew.
 * A: You and V both. Good morning, V.
 * Y: Did you finish all those capes?
 * V: [sigh] Just delivered them. I have to admit, if you hadn't come along, I might not have. Thanks again.
 * Y: Won't you stay for some tea?
 * V: I really must get back to the shop and clean up. Girls! Get your things. Time to go. Girls!
 * F, N and Q: [giggling, talking]
 * V: Girls! Time to— Girls! Your things! Girls! It's time to— Girls!
 * Y: Allow me. [clears throat] Girls?
 * N: Yes, Y.
 * F: You called?
 * Y: Go and get your things. V is here to see you home.
 * Q: Of course, Y, right away!
 * V: Ah, huh, ah, how did you... how did you do that?
 * Y: I guess I'm just as good with kids as I am with animals.
 * F, N and Q: Thank you, Y! Bye! Thank you, Stare Master!
 * V: Ah, uh, speaking of which, I could use your help with T.
 * Y: Of course. How about later today?
 * T: [yowls]
 * V: How about now? [strains]
 * T: [yowls]
 * A and Y: [giggling]
