Ribbon: I don’t… I mean I never…
Lyra: If you don’t know, I
can tell you. It’s because I’m an orphan. Because I’m poor. I have no
past and I might as well have no future.
Ribbon: That is not-!
Lyra:
I don’t belong in your life unless I’m one of those poor ponies begging
for your help: “They have to find me innocent, right?! I was never
there! I don’t even know them!“ You can’t stand that you have no power over me!
Ribbon: Bonnie shouldn’t have to-!
Lyra: You act like it’s about her, but it’s all about you, isn’t it?! I’m not what you want! I’m just a street urchin, or a drifter, or some Romarei slur I know better than to repeat under such context!
Ribbon: Romarei?
Lyra:
And if it’s not that then it’s just me! You despise everything I am!
Nothing would please you more than to have me locked up or banished for
the rest of my days! Anything to get me out of the way! You’d rather
Bon-Bon spend time with anypony else in Equestria! Anypony but me!
Ribbon: YOU DON’T DESERVE HER! You’re a filthy, foul-mouthed, wretched creature! And the very arrogance!
You think it’s you? You think you’re anything special?! Ha! I’d have a
line- A LINE- running out that door and around this little shack
seven-times over on rich ponies alone! The Bohun family matched wits with the princesses and, even in defeat, still came out on top! We’re practically nobility! Ponies would kill to marry into our family! And if that were all… If you knew what she’s done for us all…
Bon-Bon: She knows, Rebecca.
Ribbon: She… does? Even the name?
Bon-Bon: Even the name.
Ribbon:
And still? And still you swear in her presence!? Treat her like a commoner?!
Equestria- the princesses- neigh, the entire world owes itself to Samantha,
and that was before she joined the agency! Risked her life everyday!
Saved thousands of lives a hundred times over! My sister deserves the
hoof of a prince! Or a princess. Royalty and any rate! That’s why I only
ever brought her the best! Dignitaries! CEOs! Diplomats! The Captain of
the Wonderbolts-!
Lyra: Wait! Wait a minute! Spitfire? Spitfire was interested in Bon-Bon? You had a chance with Spitfire and turned it down?
Bon-Bon: She’s really not that great-
Lyra: Who else? Name names.
Ribbon: I- Uh… Emerald Beacon?
Lyra: Keep going.
Ribbon:
Professor Hayton? Filthy Rich before he got back together with his
wife, though even I’ll admit that was a poor judgement call on my part.
Then Marigold Riverside, Spitfire, Fleur Dis Lee-
Lyra: The famous model?! She donates, like, thousands of bits a year!
Bon-Bon: And she’ll continue to do so with or without me- I think we’re losing focus here.
