Rarity : I DO appreciate you showing me the way to the phoenix's nest, Spike.
Spike : Anything for you, Rarity! Besides, I've been meaning to visit Pee Wee.
Rarity : He really was an excellent pet. I can't imagine why you set him free!
Spike : Phoenixes aren't meant to be domesticated. Even in the wild, they like to keep to themselves.

Spike : Rrrgh... It's nothing... it's just a stone scale. It isn't magical or anything like the call of the Dragon Lord ~~ it's just red and itchy and embarrassing!
Rarity : Ohh, precious pants... That DOES look uncomfortable. But even I get the odd blemish from time to time! it's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Smolder : Oh, right, you've been living with ponies your whole life. Molting's just part of growing up as a dragon ~~ It's completely normal! Pretty soon, your loved ones will kick you out, and...
Spike : What? Why?!
Smolder : I think it's biological. Part of it's the smell... I mean, I loved my brother and all, but one whiff and I was all, "See ya!" Plus, that molt stench is just a MAGNET for predators...

Zecora : The ailments you have aren't something to cure. The molt's a condition that dragons endure!
Spike : But if anypony sees OR smells me right now, they'll avoid me forever!
Zecora : Perhaps we can lessen this strange molt effect. The smell is the most likely cause, I suspect... I'd brew you a potion to help keep it down, if I had the proper ingredients around.
