I'm not sure what a bottom dweller is, but I doubt they appreciate you being so rude to them! If you want to be respected, then you ought to show respect to everyone.

That is not at all how a hierarchy works! A ruler should be kind to her subjects and treat them well, not flaunt her authority and status. Perhaps you would have more friends if you were nicer to the people around you!

[ ... she doesn't actually know how many friends he has, but she's guessing it's not many]

His or her, then. I was simply thinking of the Princess that I know!

And what makes you such an authority?

Princess Celestia is doing just fine, thank you. As Equestria is prospering, and everypony is happy, I don't think there's anything wrong with what she's doing.

Well! I am sorry you have such a poor attitude, whoever you are!

Sol or Eq? Who might that be?

[a pause]

And what, pray tell, is an "asshole"? Is it anything like a human?

Why not just call someone a "jerk", then? Actually, it would be better to refrain from saying such things at all -- it would be far better to speak to them privately and work out your differences!

I most certainly am! Unless, I suppose, it were a very angry dragon or something along those lines ... but I've never had a problem getting along with other ponies.

[turn that frown upside down, eridan!]

Stupid? Please, there's no need to be so rude! I am quite intelligent, as you can see.

You are able to speak, are you not? Why wouldn't we? And what makes you think that not everyone will be able to forgive and forget, as you put it?

So, because something doesn't exist to your knowledge, that means you simply won't allow yourself to accept it now? You are limiting yourself unnecessarily, wouldn't you say? The world is full of mysteries and surprises, after all.

I am having a delightful time speaking with everyone who's spoken to me over this book so far, and I see no reason for that to change.

Well, clearly your science is wrong, then!

Or, perhaps I will be the one who is proven right.

--And I have a name, you know, and it is not "hoofbeast". It is Rarity, and I would prefer if you would address me as such.

Of course magic is real, darling, I use it every day! How else would I be able to make clothing?

And why not?

Well, I am using magic because it's simply impossible to hold a needle and thread with hooves. I believe you ought to have a look at my work before you dismiss it as such!

If I am not a "reel person", then how is it that we are carrying on a conversation? It seems to me that you are simply arguing for the sake of arguing!
