- [thud]
- [bush rustles]
- Hitch Trailblazer: Ha! According to the map, the schmoogleberry bush should be right... here! Huh? How'd you get here so fast?
- Sunny Starscout: Um, we're in our garden, Hitch.
- Hitch Trailblazer: Huh. Then I definitely overpacked.
- [whoosh!]
- [clattering]
- [fire whooshes]
- Sunny Starscout: Well, let's get picking! That schmoogleberry pie isn't gonna schmoogle-bake itself! [laughs]
- [bush rustles]
- Sunny Starscout: [gasps]
- Hitch Trailblazer: Watch out, Sunny. This bush could be dangerous. Never trust anything that starts with "schmoogle".
- Lead Pegasnail 6128 and Lead Racoonicorn 3541: [grunting]
- Sunny Starscout: Huh. Not what I expected.
- Hitch Trailblazer: Sunny, you're about to see a masterclass in... uh... critter... talkery. Guys, what seems to be the problem here?
- Lead Racoonicorn 3541: [clears throat, New York accent] Well, you see, us racoonicorns have been nibblin' on these here branches for generations.
- Lead Pegasnail 6128: [posh accent] Illegally, I might add. We Pegasnails have rights to all fruit-bearing plants in the garden. It says so here in the Great Snail Scrolls.
- Lead Racoonicorn 3541: That's just a rolled-up leaf!
- Lead Pegasnail 6128: You're just a rolled-up leaf!
- Lead Pegasnail 6128 and Lead Racoonicorn 3541: [grunting]
- Sunny Starscout: Anything I can do?
- Hitch Trailblazer: Nope. All under control, Sunny. I got this.
- Sunny Starscout: All right. Well, I'm gonna go find some apples for the pie.
- [opening jingle]
- Lead Pegasnail 6128 and Lead Racoonicorn 3541: [grunting]
- Hitch Trailblazer: Look, there's gotta be a simple way to resolve this.
- Lead Racoonicorn 3541: You're right! Racoonicorns, assemble!
- Lead Pegasnail 6128: Pegasnails, also assemble!
- [slow creaking]
- Lead Pegasnail 6128: We're going to need a minute.
- Hitch Trailblazer: Okay! This isn't what I had in mind! No fighting, no swords, and no unbelievably adorable catapults! All we need is a schedule. The racoonicorns can pick from the bush one day, and then the Pegasnails on the other. You'll take it in turns. I'll be watching to make sure you all stick to it.
- Pegasnail Soldier #1: [screams]
- [crash]
- Hitch Trailblazer: Trust me. This is foolproof. Rules and regulations fix everything.
- [Hitch Trailblazer]
- Come on!
- Got an issue (issue)? Got a problem (problem)?
- Did you know I got the thing that's gonna solve 'em?
- You need a guide, yeah, no substitutions
- So listen here and I'll give you the solution
- No time for playin', you must be selfless (yeah!)
- So we can make sure that everypony benefits
- And if we're gonna all win, no, we can't fool around
- We just gotta make sure that we write it all down
- We gotta all get along – we got a rule 4 that
- That's why I'm singin' this song – we got a rule 4 that
- We're gonna get the job done, don't forget to have fun
- As a matter of fact, we got a rule 4 that
- 'Cause we all gotta learn – we got a rule 4 that
- When everypony gets a turn – we got a rule 4 that
- Things are much better when we all work together
- Got a rule 4 that, we got a rule 4 that
- Hey, hey! Hey, hey!
- Oh-oh, oh-oh! (Come on!) Oh-oh, oh-oh!
- Hey, hey! (We got a rule 4 that!) Hey, hey!
- Oh-oh, oh-oh! Oh-oh, oh-oh!
- Sunny Starscout: Um, how's it going, Hitch?
- Hitch Trailblazer: [panting] It's, um... going pretty well? [crying]
- Pegasnail Soldier #2 9301: Ha! Take that!
- Lead Racoonicorn 3541: Dandelion incoming! Eat this!
- Hitch Trailblazer: Ah! What did I do wrong?! I thought I could use my new critter communication skills to really make a difference! But I just made things worse!
- Sunny Starscout: It's okay, Hitch. You just gotta try a different approach.
- Hitch Trailblazer: Like a weekly roster instead of a daily one?
- Sunny Starscout: No. Why don't you try seeing what they have in common? Remember, there's magic in unity.
- Hitch Trailblazer: See what they have in common...
- Racoonicorn Soldier: Ooh! Ow! Ow! Watch the hair! Watch the fur!
- Hitch Trailblazer: Hmmm...
- Lead Pegasnail 6128: En masse! Pegasnails en masse!
- Lead Racoonicorn 3541: Racoonicorns, attack!
- [boom]
- Lead Racoonicorn 3541: Hey, I'm battlin' here! What is this?
- Hitch Trailblazer: This is the talking table. We're gonna sit around it, and we're gonna talk this thing out! Now!
- Lead Pegasnail 6128: [grumbles]
- Lead Racoonicorn 3541: [angry chittering]
- Lead Pegasnail 6128 and Lead Racoonicorn 3541: [yelling]
- Hitch Trailblazer: I hear you, but we all have to work together if we want—
- Lead Pegasnail 6128: Work together?! Ugh! Impossible!
- Lead Racoonicorn 3541: Hey!
- Lead Pegasnail 6128 and Lead Racoonicorn 3541: [yelling]
- Hitch Trailblazer: Oh, come on now. There's gotta be something you both—
- Lead Racoonicorn 3541: Unless it's gotta do with bakin', I don't wanna hear about it!
- Lead Pegasnail 6128: Oh! Baking? I also love to bake!
- Lead Racoonicorn 3541: Hey, bring it in here!
- Lead Pegasnail 6128: [laughs]
- Hitch Trailblazer: You were totally right, Sunny. Turns out they both love making berry-based treats, and now they're best friends!
- Sunny Starscout: I'm proud of you, Hitch.
- Hitch Trailblazer: Hey. So, uh... [laughs nervosuly] ...now can we pick some of those berries for our pie?
- Pegasnails and Racoonicorns: [yelling]
- Sunny Starscout and Hitch Trailblazer: [scream]
