(Big Mac and Fluttershy enter)
Fluttershy: Your majesty! Your majesty! I'm so excited! Sir Harry's back and he brought a princess! Have you seen her? Neither have I! But I'm sure she's as delicate as an orange blossom and… he's back! He's back!
(She exits squealing. Applejack and Twilight Sparkle enter.)
Applejack: My father expected me to follow his footsteps, and I landed this jester job and… (He notices Big Mac) What's wrong? (Big Mac pantomimes "I'm worried") You're worried; about what? (Big Mac points to the door) Who? (Big Mac pantomimes "lady") A lady; which lady? (Big Mac holds up two fingers) Two syllables; first syllable. (Big Mac pantomimes "bird") A bird! It's some kind of bird. Hawk? Blue bird? Eagle? Lark?
(Big Mac nods.)
Twilight Sparkle: Lady Larken!
Applejack: And…
(Big Mac pantomimes "riding a horse")
Twilight Sparkle: A knight!
Applejack: Which knight?
(Big Mac pulls on Applejack's mane)
Twilight Sparkle: Sir Harry! (Big Mac nods and pantomimes "trouble") They're in trouble?
(Big Mac pantomimes "cradling a baby")
Applejack: She's going to have a baby?! Does anyone else know?
(Big Mac pantomimes "yes, Sir Harry")
Twilight Sparkle: Besides Sir Harry?
(Big Mac pantomimes "no, can you keep a secret?")
Applejack: Don't worry; we can keep a secret. But the question is, can you?
(Big Mac pantomimes "me? But I can't talk")
Twilight Sparkle: We know you can't talk; but you still manage to communicate.
Twilight Sparkle: Applejack: We have only two voices among us, and yet
There's a third voice, a voice in disguise
You'll be hearing a trio and not a duet
If you listen with both of your eyes
Kindly
(Big Mac pantomimes "listen")
With both of your
(Big Mac pantomimes "eyes")
We produce a unique and remarkable blend
When we raise our three voices on high
We're in perfect accord from beginning to
(Big Mac pantomimes "end")
Applejack: The king and the minstrel and I
Twilight Sparkle, Applejack: Yet if one of our trio should ever depart
Then the others would languish and die
We're like three different people with only one
(Big Mac pantomimes "heart")
Twilight Sparkle: The king and the jester and I
Twilight Sparkle, Applejack: Singing hey, nonny, nonny, hey, nonny, nonny
Hi diddle, diddle
Strike up a tune on the
(Big Mac pantomimes "fiddle")
Applejack: Oh the vendor makes wine from the grapes that he grows
Twilight Sparkle: Twenty barrels were lost last July
Both: Where they went is a secret that nopony
(Big Mac points to his nose, points to Twilight Sparkle, then Applejack, then himself)
Applejack: Oh the cook claims she's missing one chocolate cream roll
Twilight Sparkle: And a fish that was ready to fry
Both: Guess who's dining on pastries and filet of
(Big Mac points to the bottom of this foot, points to Twilight Sparkle, then Applejack, then himself)
Singing hey, nonny, nonny, hey, nonny, nonny
Needle and thimble
Crash us a clash on the
(Big Mac pantomimes "cymbals")
Applejack: It's been set up our king that his morals are loose
Twilight Sparkle: But the queen is much worse on the sly
Both: Well what's good for the gander is good for the…
(A mare is heard screaming from off-screen)
Twilight Sparkle: Say the king and the jester
Applejack: The king and the minstrel
Both: The

And the

And
