Transcript
Narrator: "It was early morning, and Spike had brought some wagons to Ponyville Docks."

Spike: "Hello, Gustave. Hi, Cheese Sandwich."

Cheese Sandwich: "Ahoy there, shipmate."

Gustave: "Hello, Spike."

(Crash!)

Spike: "Whoa! Watch out! Who's that pushing?"

Discord: "It's me, Discord." (Laughs) "Out of the way, slowpokes."

Spike: "There's no need for that, Discord."

Discord: "Yes, there is, Spike. I'm a creature. Hard as nails, always gruff. A creature should be rough and tough."

Cheese Sandwich: "Nor, that's not true, matey. I'm a creature loving earth pony. I maybe gruff, but I'm never rough."

Discord: "Well, you must be a softie, then." (Laughs)

Gustave: "Why does he always have to act like that?"

Narrator: "Later that morning, on his way back from the docks, Spike stopped to talk to Pipsqueak at the spa."

Spike: "Hello, Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Hello, Spike. I'm just having a quick shower before I start work."

(Discord pushes Pipsqueak)

Pipsqueak: "What? What? Hey, who's doing that?"

Discord: (Laughs) "Don't pop a button, Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Discord! But I was here first."

Discord: "And now, I'm here. Goodbye."

Spike: "You know, Discord, if you were nicer to other animals, you would have more friends."

Discord: "My friends don't like me because I'm nice, Spike. They like me because I'm rough and tough. Isn't that right, girls?"

Diamond Tiara: "Yeah, Discord."

Silver: "Yeah!"

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon: "Rough and tough! Rough and tough! Rough and tough!"

Narrator: "Later that day, Spike was still thinking about Discord, when he suddenly saw him, stopped up ahead."

Spike: "Oh, no. Not Discord again."

Discord: (Laughs) "Look at you. Ohh."

Spike: "I've had quite enough of him already today. What's he doing?"

Discord: "Ohh!"

Spike: "Who's he talking to?"

Discord: "Oh, what cute little duckies!" (Laughs) "Aren't you lovely and fluffy? Yes you are."

Narrator: "Spike couldn't believe it. He'd never heard Discord being so sweet and gentle before."

Spike: (Laughs) "Hard as nails? Strong and tough?"

Discord: (Gasps)

Spike: "Oh, if everyone could see you now, Discord, they would think you were the big softy. Oh, I can't wait to tell them all about this."

Discord: "No, Spike! Please! Please don't do that. They'll all laugh and make fun of me."

Spike: "Just like you do to them, Discord. If you could be nice to these ducklings, then why can't you be nice to the rest of us?"

Discord: "Uh... well... uh... I... I could, but..."

Spike: "Discord."

Discord: "Okay, all right! I'll be nice! And friendly and kind..." (Stammers) "If you promise not to tell them about the, uh, you know what."

Spike: "Okay. I promise I won't tell, as long as you're nice to everyone."

Discord: (Sighs) "Thanks, Spike. Heh, you're a pal."

Narrator: "So Discord tried to be nice to everybody he met that day."

Discord: "Lovely day, Big Mac, heh. Say hello to Spike for me." (Laughs) "And tell him how nice I'm being.

Looking good, Filthy Rich! Tell Spike I said hi." (Laughs)

"Good morning, Shining Armor. Have a nice day. You going to see Spike later?" (Gasps)

Diamond Tiara: "Huh?"

Discord: "Oh look, it's little lady long horn."

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon: (Laugh)

Diamond Tiara: "That's very good."

Silver Spoon: "Little lady long horn."

Discord: (Laughs) "Are you sure you have the strength to take those rabbits, Rarity?"

Rarity: "Stop being so horrid, Discord."

Discord: "I'll be just as horrid as I like. Hard as nails."

Discord, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon: "Always gruff. A creature should be..."

Spike: "Discord! Quack, quack, quack."

Discord: "No, Spike, please." (Stammering; clears throat) "I just wanted to say, what a fine, strong, helpful unicorn you are, Rarity. And your horn is fabulous. Well, I'll be off, then."

Diamond Tiara: "Aye? What?"

Silver Spoon: "Discord?"

Discord: "Bye, now."

Rarity: "What's the matter with him?"

Spike: "I have no idea."

Narrator: "Discord just couldn't help going back to his old ways."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Oh, get a move on, Discord!"

Big Macintosh: "Discord, you're making us all late!"

Discord: "Oh, dear. Don't get worked up about it." (Laughs)

Spike: "Quack, quack, quack."

Discord: (Whimpers)

Narrator: "So Spike kept on quacking to remind Discord of his promise."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Ah, about time."

Discord: "Carry on! Carry on! I know you both have very important jobs to do. Hmm."

Narrator: "But no matter how many times Spike reminded him of his promise, it was very hard for Discord to change his ways. Especially in front of his friends."

Changeling: (Screams)

Changelings: "Uh! Stop that, Discord! Not so fast!"

Discord: "But it's fun!" (Laughs)

Changeling: "No!"

Discord, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon: (Laugh)

Spike: "Discord! Quack, quack, quack!"

Discord: "Oh, Spike, it's too hard to be nice to everyone all the time. I can't do it anymore."

Spike: "But you were nice to those ducklings."

Diamond Tiara: "Ducklings?"

Silver Spoon: "What ducklings?"

Spike: "Follow me, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. And let me introduce you to Discord's new friends."

Discord: "No, Spike! No!"

Diamond Tiara: "I still don't get it."

Silver Spoon: "Where we going?"

Spike: "You'll see."

Discord: "Spike! You promised not to tell!"

Spike: "And you promised to be nice! Faster, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. Keep up!"

Discord: "Spike! Look out! The ducklings!"

(Ducks chirp and quack)

Spike: (Gasps) "Fire and scales!"

Discord: "Oh, no!"

Spike: (Straining)

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon: (Screaming and grunting)

Diamond Tiara: "What are you playing at, Spike?!"

(Ducks quack and chirp)

Discord: "Spike, you were going much too fast. You have to be more careful when you're around these lovely, little ducklings."

Spike: "I'm sorry. I didn't see them. You're a hero, Discord." (Laughs) "Not to mention a really big softy."

Discord: "No, I'm not! I'm rough and I'm tough. And I'm..."

Diamond Tiara: "So sweet! Awww! Who's a little fluffy ducky, then?" (Laughs)

Silver Spoon: "Ohh, ooh, cuddly, buddly, boo."

Diamond Tiara: "So cute and fluffy wuffy."

Spike: "You see, Discord. Nobody's laughing at you."

Discord: "Uh, yes, but... uh..."

Spike: "You don't have to be rough and tough all the time. It's okay to show your soft side."

Discord: "Well..."

(Duck quacks)

Discord: "They are adorable, aren't they?" (Laughs) "Aww, cooey. Nice duckies."

Diamond Tiara: "Oh, look at their tiny little wings."

Silver Spoon: "And away they widdle waddle. Oh, little diddums."

Spike: "You try to be rough and play the part, but when it comes to ducklings, you're all softies at heart."

Discord: "Oh." (Laughs)

Diamond Tiara: "Cooey."

Silver Spoon: "You little fuzzy."

Diamond Tiara: "Nice ducky."

Discord: "You're cuties, aren't you?"
