1. Lunch time!
Copy !req
2. Who's hungry?
Copy !req
3. Plenty for everypony.
Copy !req
4. Slow down, sweetie.
Copy !req
5. Here you go, Angel bunny.
Copy !req
6. Okay, Mister Picky-pants, you win.
Copy !req
7. Carrots, lettuce and apples, yum yum yum!
Copy !req
8. What? But—
Copy !req
9. Then, what will you eat?
Copy !req
10. I'm not sure I can even make that.
Copy !req
11. Well, I don't want you to starve...
Copy !req
12. Are you sure I can't tempt you
with a nice crisp piece of—
Copy !req
13. I'll make your special recipe.
Copy !req
14. Season 2 | Episode 19
Putting Your Hoof Down
Copy !req
15. Hmm, let's see.
Asparagus.
Copy !req
16. Excuse me... I think you just
stepped in front of me...?
Copy !req
17. Excuse me, I think you made a mistake?
Copy !req
18. You see I was actually here first and—
Copy !req
19. Sorry, didn't notice you there.
Copy !req
20. I know.
Copy !req
21. Pardon me, sir.
Copy !req
22. Yes, what?
Copy !req
23. I think you just cut in front of me.
Copy !req
24. A cut of celery?
But, this is the asparagus stand!
Copy !req
25. I said, I think you just cut
in front of me.
Copy !req
26. No need, dearie, I'm already in front!
Copy !req
27. I noticed.
Copy !req
28. Hey!
Copy !req
29. Would you mind moving back?
You're in my personal space.
Copy !req
30. But—
Copy !req
31. Seriously, do you need
your asparagus so badly?
Copy !req
32. Get a life.
Copy !req
33. Oh, okay. There's no rush.
Copy !req
34. Fluttershy!
Copy !req
35. You mustn't let them treat you that way.
Copy !req
36. It's really no big deal...
Copy !req
37. It's bigger than big, it's double big.
Copy !req
38. You are a pony with a problem.
Copy !req
39. What problem?
Copy !req
40. You've got to stop being such a doormat.
Copy !req
41. A doormat?
Copy !req
42. A pushover, darling.
Copy !req
43. You've got to stand up for yourself.
Copy !req
44. Promise us.
Copy !req
45. Okay. I promise.
Copy !req
46. Oh, good!
Copy !req
47. That's okay, I don't mind.
Copy !req
48. Watch and learn.
Copy !req
49. Hold it right there,
Copy !req
50. mister small and handsome!
Copy !req
51. Who, me?
Copy !req
52. Of course, you.
Copy !req
53. Nopony ever called you handsome before?
Copy !req
54. That'd be a big no.
Copy !req
55. Well they should!
Copy !req
56. How about flexing
some of your muscles for me?
Copy !req
57. Oh my heavens!
Copy !req
58. Do you think a strong, handsome stallion
such as yourself
Copy !req
59. could give my friend the last asparagus?
Copy !req
60. See, that's not so hard, is it?
Copy !req
61. I guess not...
Copy !req
62. Alright then! What else is on your list?
Copy !req
63. Let's see... I also need tomatoes.
Copy !req
64. Here you go.
Copy !req
65. That'll be two bits. Not one.
Copy !req
66. But last week it was only one bit.
Copy !req
67. That was then, this is now.
Copy !req
68. Okay.
Copy !req
69. I don't wanna argue about it.
Copy !req
70. What do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
71. Mindin' my own business,
maybe you should try it.
Copy !req
72. Two bits for tomatoes is outrageous.
Copy !req
73. One bit is the right price.
Copy !req
74. I say it's two bits.
Copy !req
75. One bit.
Copy !req
76. Two bits!
Copy !req
77. One bit!
Copy !req
78. - Two bits!
- One bit!
Copy !req
79. Two bits!
Copy !req
80. - Two bits!
- One bit!
Copy !req
81. - Two bits!
- One bit!
Copy !req
82. I insist, it's two bits or nothing!
Copy !req
83. One bit and that's my final offer!
Copy !req
84. Have it your way, one bit it is!
Copy !req
85. See? Asserting yourself can be fun!
Copy !req
86. I guess you're right!
Copy !req
87. So, Fluttershy,
do you feel like giving it a try?
Copy !req
88. Um... okay.
Copy !req
89. I need that cherry.
Copy !req
90. Am I glad you have one cherry left.
Copy !req
91. You see, I'm making this special meal
for my bunny Angel
Copy !req
92. he's a very picky eater,
and the recipe calls for a cherry on top.
Copy !req
93. Here you go.
Copy !req
94. So,
Copy !req
95. you say you need
this cherry very badly.
Copy !req
96. Oh, yes, I'm desperate for it!
Copy !req
97. Then it'll be ten bits!
Copy !req
98. Ten?
Copy !req
99. Oh, hey, mister handsome.
Copy !req
100. I know you wanna do the right thing,
because you're handsome and strong
Copy !req
101. and big, handsome, strong guys
are always nice to everypony, right?
Copy !req
102. Ten bits for the cherry.
Copy !req
103. Ten bits for one cherry's outrageous!
Copy !req
104. I insist on paying you... eleven bits!
Copy !req
105. Eleven bits?
Copy !req
106. I mean, nine bits!
Copy !req
107. Now wait a minute...
Copy !req
108. Okay, twelve bits,
but that's my final offer!
Copy !req
109. I think you're confused.
Copy !req
110. It's twelve bits, take it or leave it.
Copy !req
111. Okay, I'll take it.
Copy !req
112. Don't give him your money!
Copy !req
113. One cherry is not worth twelve bits!
Copy !req
114. But... I was only doing what you did.
Copy !req
115. It was a valiant effort,
but you should refuse to give him
Copy !req
116. your business and just walk away.
Copy !req
117. But... I can't let Angel starve!
Copy !req
118. He won't eat it unless
I make it just right!
Copy !req
119. I need that cherry
no matter what it costs!
Copy !req
120. In that case, twenty bits!
Copy !req
121. Twenty?
Oh, but I don't have that much.
Copy !req
122. Then why're you wasting my time?
Copy !req
123. I'll give you two bits for that cherry!
Copy !req
124. Sold!
Copy !req
125. That's a break, kid.
Next time, don't be such a doormat.
Copy !req
126. Here you go, Angel.
Copy !req
127. Sorry there's no cherry on top,
Copy !req
128. but the rest of it is exactly
what you wanted.
Copy !req
129. Angel?
Copy !req
130. Look at me... I really am a doormat.
Copy !req
131. The incredible Iron Will
Copy !req
132. turns doormats into dynamos.
Copy !req
133. Assertiveness seminar today,
hedge maze centre.
Copy !req
134. As Celestia is my witness,
Copy !req
135. I'm never gonna be a pushover again!
Copy !req
136. Excuse me!
Copy !req
137. Welcome, friends! My name is Iron Will.
Copy !req
138. And today is the first day
of your new life!
Copy !req
139. I wanna hear you stomp
if you're tired of being a pushover!
Copy !req
140. Stomp if you're tired of being a doormat!
Copy !req
141. Stomp if you wanna pay nothing
for this seminar!
Copy !req
142. That's no joke, friends.
Copy !req
143. Iron Will is so confident that you will be
one hundred percent satisfied
Copy !req
144. with Iron Will's assertiveness techniques,
Copy !req
145. that if you are not one hundred percent
satisfied, you... pay... nothing.
Copy !req
146. But I pity the fool who doubts
Iron Will's methods.
Copy !req
147. You don't doubt me, do you?
Copy !req
148. Uh-uh, no sir...
Copy !req
149. That, my friends, is your first lesson.
Copy !req
150. "Don't be shy, look 'em in the eye."
Copy !req
151. Now, to demonstrate that
Copy !req
152. Iron Will's techniques
will work for anypony,
Copy !req
153. I'm gonna need a volunteer.
Copy !req
154. You, in the back row!
Copy !req
155. Who, me?
Copy !req
156. Yes, you! Iron Will wants you onstage!
Copy !req
157. Uh, well...
Copy !req
158. Now!
Copy !req
159. Okay...
Copy !req
160. He's blocking your path.
Copy !req
161. What are you gonna do about it?
Copy !req
162. Um, politely walk around him?
Copy !req
163. No.
Copy !req
164. Gingerly tip-toe around him?
Copy !req
165. No.
Copy !req
166. Go back home, and try again tomorrow?
Copy !req
167. No!
Copy !req
168. "When somepony tries to block,
show them that you rock!"
Copy !req
169. Oh! Sorry.
Copy !req
170. Don't be sorry, be assertive!
Copy !req
171. "Never apologize, when you can criticize."
Copy !req
172. Why don't you watch where you're going!
Copy !req
173. Now, you try.
Copy !req
174. Next time, get out of the way before...
I bump into you.
Copy !req
175. Because...
I totally won't be sorry when I do!
Copy !req
176. You see my friends!
Copy !req
177. If my techniques can work
for this shy, little pony,
Copy !req
178. then they can work for anypony!
Copy !req
179. Okay, I feel good.
Copy !req
180. I feel ready to "attack the day",
Copy !req
181. as Iron Will says.
Copy !req
182. Excuse me, Mr. Greenhooves,
Copy !req
183. but I think you might be
over-watering my petunias...
Copy !req
184. again...
Copy !req
185. Let the professional handle it.
Copy !req
186. "Treat me like a pushover,
and you'll get the once over."
Copy !req
187. Perhaps that is enough water.
Copy !req
188. Thank you.
Copy !req
189. I can't believe it worked!
Copy !req
190. Showpony business is tough.
Copy !req
191. Go ahead, try one of your jokes out on me.
Copy !req
192. I laugh at everything.
Copy !req
193. Okay, okay, okay.
Copy !req
194. A donkey and a mule
are stuck on a desert island...
Copy !req
195. Excuse me?
Copy !req
196. Would you mind moving your carts,
so I can pass?
Copy !req
197. Yeah yeah, in a minute,
I just wanna finish up this story.
Copy !req
198. And so the donkey says to the mule—
Copy !req
199. Can you move, you're blocking my path.
Copy !req
200. Yeah yeah, in a minute!
So the donkey says to the mule...
Copy !req
201. "When somepony tries to block,
show them that you rock!"
Copy !req
202. Easy does it, lady. We're moving, okay?
Copy !req
203. Good!
Copy !req
204. Who's next, please, and what
Copy !req
205. can I get for you today?
Copy !req
206. What do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
207. Didn't you see me?
Copy !req
208. Uh, I guess maybe.
Copy !req
209. "Maybe"?
"Maybes are for babies!"
Copy !req
210. Now go to the back of the line,
Copy !req
211. where you belong!
Copy !req
212. Hey, look at you!
Copy !req
213. Your attitude is so feisty.
Copy !req
214. It's fabulous.
Copy !req
215. Looks like that monster's workshop
really paid off!
Copy !req
216. Iron Will's not a monster, he's a minotaur.
Copy !req
217. And a true inspiration.
Copy !req
218. His techniques really work.
Copy !req
219. Well, they've certainly made a difference
in the way you carry yourself.
Copy !req
220. You truly are a whole new Fluttershy.
Copy !req
221. Yes, I am.
And new Fluttershy feels pretty stoked
Copy !req
222. about new Fluttershy.
Copy !req
223. Well, old Pinkie Pie feels
really proud of new Fluttershy.
Copy !req
224. Proud as pink punch.
Copy !req
225. Want some?
Copy !req
226. "You laugh at me, I wrath at you!"
Copy !req
227. Bye, girls.
Copy !req
228. What a day.
Copy !req
229. Taxi!
Copy !req
230. Oh no you don't.
Copy !req
231. "Cut in line, I'll take what's mine!"
Copy !req
232. Nopony pushes new Fluttershy around!
Copy !req
233. NOPONY!
Copy !req
234. Old Pinkie Pie is not so sure
Copy !req
235. new Fluttershy is such
a good idea after all.
Copy !req
236. Old Rarity agrees.
Copy !req
237. You got this, new Fluttershy!
Copy !req
238. This day is yours!
Copy !req
239. And nopony's gonna take it away from you!
Copy !req
240. Am I right?
Copy !req
241. Right!
Copy !req
242. What? He's delivered
the wrong mail, again!
Copy !req
243. And new Fluttershy does not want
the wrong mail delivered to her cottage.
Copy !req
244. Did I mix them up again?
Copy !req
245. Sorry about that.
Copy !req
246. "You apologize, I penalize!"
Copy !req
247. Excuse me, do you know how
to get to the Ponyville tower?
Copy !req
248. Sure, you just—
Copy !req
249. That's a shame.
Copy !req
250. "You make me lose, I blow my fuse!"
Copy !req
251. Fluttershy! What are you doing?
Copy !req
252. That's no way to behave.
Copy !req
253. Didn't you see what he did to new Fluttershy?
Copy !req
254. And he thought new Fluttershy was a pushover!
Copy !req
255. No, sweetie, he didn't.
We saw the whole thing.
Copy !req
256. We think that you've taken
your assertiveness training
Copy !req
257. a little too far.
Copy !req
258. What?
Copy !req
259. You just want new Fluttershy
to be a doormat like old Fluttershy!
Copy !req
260. But old Fluttershy is GONE!
Copy !req
261. New Fluttershy... old Fluttershy...!
Copy !req
262. What happened to nice Fluttershy?
Copy !req
263. We want that Fluttershy back.
Copy !req
264. No, you want wimp Fluttershy.
You want pushover Fluttershy.
Copy !req
265. You want do-anything-to-her
and-she-won't-complain Fluttershy!
Copy !req
266. Too many Fluttershies to keep track of!
Make it stop!
Copy !req
267. Things getting too complicated for
your simple little brain, Pinkie Pie?
Copy !req
268. Now, stop right there!
Copy !req
269. Let's not let things descend
into petty insults!
Copy !req
270. Why not? I thought "petty"
was what you're all about, Rarity.
Copy !req
271. With your "petty" concerns about fashion.
Copy !req
272. Hey, leave her alone!
Fashion is her passion!
Copy !req
273. Oh, and what are you passionate about?
Birthday cake? Party hats?
Copy !req
274. I can't believe that the two most
frivolous ponies in Ponyville
Copy !req
275. are trying to tell new Fluttershy
how to live her life
Copy !req
276. when they are throwing their own lives
away on pointless pursuits,
Copy !req
277. that nopony else gives
a flying feather about!
Copy !req
278. Looks like nasty Fluttershy
is here to stay!
Copy !req
279. I cannot believe what that monster,
Iron Will, has done to you!
Copy !req
280. Iron Will's not a monster, he's a minotaur!
Copy !req
281. I'm the monster.
Copy !req
282. Fluttershy, are you in there?
Copy !req
283. It's Pinkie Pie, and Rarity!
Copy !req
284. Go away! Go away before
nasty Fluttershy strikes again!
Copy !req
285. Oh, sweetie,
we all said things that we regret.
Copy !req
286. We did?
Copy !req
287. Pinkie's right. I'm the only one to blame.
Copy !req
288. But don't worry, I'm never
coming out of my house again.
Copy !req
289. Everypony will be a lot safer with me
and my mean mouth locked away.
Copy !req
290. Sweetie, Pinkie Pie doesn't blame you,
and nor do I.
Copy !req
291. You just received some bad advice
from that Iron Will character.
Copy !req
292. Yeah! He's the one that
made you act super-duper nasty.
Copy !req
293. What I mean is,
Copy !req
294. there are other ways to assert yourself
besides yelling at everypony.
Copy !req
295. Yes!
Copy !req
296. You can stand up for yourself
without being unpleasant about it.
Copy !req
297. I'm not sure I can.
Copy !req
298. I'm too far gone.
Copy !req
299. Whenever I try to assert myself,
Copy !req
300. I become a monster.
Copy !req
301. Oh, sweetie, you're not a monster.
Copy !req
302. No, but he is.
Copy !req
303. Iron Will's my name,
training ponies is my game.
Copy !req
304. What a darling little catchphrase.
Copy !req
305. Your friend Fluttershy loved
Iron Will's catchphrases.
Copy !req
306. Word on the street is that
she doesn't take no duff from nopony!
Copy !req
307. So, Iron Will is here
to collect Iron Will's fee.
Copy !req
308. Fluttershy's in no shape
to deal with that creep!
Copy !req
309. I'm sure a big, brave,
powerful and rich monster—
Copy !req
310. I mean, minotaur, like you,
Copy !req
311. doesn't need that money right away.
Copy !req
312. You can afford to come back later.
Copy !req
313. Are you kidding?
Fluttershy is overdue as it is.
Copy !req
314. Iron Will collects now.
Copy !req
315. Do something!
Copy !req
316. We're not even sure
Fluttershy is home right now.
Copy !req
317. She might be off frolicking
with some woodland creatures.
Copy !req
318. Why don't you give us some time
to track her down for ya?
Copy !req
319. Iron Will does have some
grocery shopping to do.
Copy !req
320. Iron Will will come back this afternoon.
Copy !req
321. But that's only half a day.
Copy !req
322. We need one full day at least.
Copy !req
323. Iron Will will delay for half a day
and no longer!
Copy !req
324. A full day!
Copy !req
325. Half day!
Copy !req
326. Full day!
Copy !req
327. Half day!
Copy !req
328. Half day!
Copy !req
329. Full day!
Copy !req
330. We need half a day and no more!
Copy !req
331. You'll get a full day and no less!
Copy !req
332. Okie dokie. See you tomorrow.
Copy !req
333. Wait, what?
Copy !req
334. Sounds like the search
won't be necessary.
Copy !req
335. Iron Will collects now.
Copy !req
336. But we had an agreement!
You gotta come back tomorrow!
Copy !req
337. "When somepony tries to block,
show them that you rock!"
Copy !req
338. Your payment is overdue, Fluttershy!
Copy !req
339. You were nothing but a doormat!
Copy !req
340. And Iron Will turned you into a lean,
mean, assertive machine!
Copy !req
341. Now, pay Iron Will what you owe Iron Will!
Copy !req
342. Um, no.
Copy !req
343. What did you say?
Copy !req
344. No.
Copy !req
345. I'd hate to be you right now.
Copy !req
346. Because Iron Will is gonna
rain down a world of hurt
Copy !req
347. unless Iron Will gets his money pronto!
Copy !req
348. As I recall, during your workshop,
you promised
Copy !req
349. one hundred percent satisfaction guaranteed
Copy !req
350. or you pay nothing.
Copy !req
351. Well, I'm not satisfied.
Copy !req
352. What do you mean, you're not satisfied?
Copy !req
353. Everypony has always been satisfied!
Copy !req
354. Well I guess I'm the first then.
Copy !req
355. But since I'm not satisfied,
Copy !req
356. I refuse to pay.
Copy !req
357. It's as simple as that.
Copy !req
358. Are you sure you're not
just a little bit satisfied?
Copy !req
359. Because maybe... we could, cut a deal...
Copy !req
360. I mean, we're both reasonable creatures,
aren't we?
Copy !req
361. I'm sorry, but no means no.
Copy !req
362. No means no, huh?
Copy !req
363. Nopony's ever said that to me before.
Copy !req
364. I gotta remember that one.
Copy !req
365. That's a good catchphrase
for my next workshop.
Copy !req
366. You're amazing, Fluttershy!
Copy !req
367. You totally stood up to that monster!
Copy !req
368. In fact, you didn't change at all!
Copy !req
369. You were the same old Fluttershy
that we've always loved!
Copy !req
370. The one we missed!
Copy !req
371. Don't worry,
old Fluttershy's back for good.
Copy !req
372. I'm sorry I took the whole
assertiveness thing too far.
Copy !req
373. Friends?
Copy !req
374. Friends!
Copy !req
375. Dear Princess Celestia,
Copy !req
376. Sometimes it can be hard for a shy pony
like me to stand up for myself.
Copy !req
377. And when I first tried it,
Copy !req
378. I didn't like the pony I became.
Copy !req
379. But I've learned that
Copy !req
380. standing up for yourself isn't the same
Copy !req
381. as changing who you are.
Copy !req
382. Now I know how to put my hoof down,
without being unpleasant, or mean.
Copy !req
