Harmony: Okay, hi. First of all, I wanna thank everybody for a really successful raid on the magic shop last night. Good job, minions! Yes, you deserve it. Secondly... somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest little unicorn!

Brad: I, I had to get her something. She sired me.
Peaches: Sire-whipped.
