Ah do declah, Mistah Trenderhoof, you do look dashing in that new set of whiskahs.
I do declare, Mr Trenderhoof-
Stop!
Oh what now?
Yer enunciatin'. Ya gotta flatten y' speech a bit; not sound like you're sittin on a pincushin.
I do not sound like I am sitting on any such thing!

I have just had a revelation!
Perhaps this was never meant to be!
No?
What do you suppose Mr. Trenderhoof sees in Applejack?
Authenticity!
Yeah! Applejack is nevah one to put on airs or ... or
Or pretend that she is clearly something that she isn't.
She's an apple farmer. She is what she is. The hat says it all!
Her Simple Ways -
*honk* *honk*
Make her likable for who she is.
And hey! Maybe being so uncomplicated and direct makes her just the sort of person he wants to be around.
What does that make me?
Well for starters...
Yes, darling?
The fake eyelashes, the eyeshadow -
The smell of your various mane and tail products.
No offence!
Your pancake makeup.
That stuff dries out and gets everywhere!
And your accent! Mom and dad don't talk like you do. You sound like you don't even want to let everypony know that you're from around here!
Yeah! Only the snootiest of the Canterlot upper crust talk like that. What's with that anyway?
Do you want everypony to think that you're some exotic exile from Canterlot who set up her wonderous fashion shop in far-off Ponyville?
I mean that in the best way possible. Please don't kill me.
So you are saying that everything I do is a kind of contrivance. A sort of tawdry stagecraft. But who am I without my fashion and my highly cultured diction and prim manners?
I have become 'the mask', as it were!
I have had another revelation!
Spike, fetch that diary and prepare to take dictation!
Aww yeah! Just like old times!
Today I've learned that if somepony does not fall in love with you for who you are, you should not change yourself to try and suit them. You would ultimately be living a lie, and not just a like to someone like Trenderhoof, but a lie to one's self.
And that ultimately, honesty is the best poli-
Howdy Rarity!
HE IS MINE! MINE! YOU CAN NOT HAVE HIM, APPLEJACK! DO YOU HEAR ME?!
