1) Well, I imagine it would be interesting to be a member of the Apple Family. Don’t think I could ask for a better grandmother.

2) There’s never been an Equestrian mafia like your world has/had. The organized crime circles always worked underground and in the shadows. A public display like that would call attention to them. Attention would call down forces they’re incapable of handling.

In a way, getting too much attention was their undoing.

3) No you may not, and I appreciate you asking first.

4) I’ll let you know.

5) Let’s not. The best mechs don’t combine, they transform.

6) Because that’s not a word; that’s two words. For that matter, that’s two words you should never say in that sequence because it sounds like a swear.

7) … I don’t know. That’s sort of why I’m waiting for us to have an argument. I’ve never seen him angry at me before.

8) I think I have some time tomorrow, Strawberry Human.

9) Mr. Cake, I’m not going to live in fear of your wife. I find plenty of ponies attractive! I just… don’t usually have to tell them that to their face!

Even if we were both single, I still wouldn’t go out with you. Mrs. Cake has nothing to worry about from me.

10) I’d… certainly be more than a little surprised. And confused. And betrayed. Bon-Bon would definitely have a lot of explaining to do with this “boating” business.
