(After some time spent on the phone, Rico Stride hangs up and turns to his fellow goons.)

Rico: It's a done deal. We're meetin' Bronco Bertinelli in a few hours. Get the cars ready.

Goon 2: Yessir, Mr. Stride!

(As most of the goons vacate the restaurant to "get the cars ready" as ordered, Rico stands over Copper Plume on the floor.)

Rico: You, my friend, are hours away from making me a very powerful pony. Heh-heh-heh.

Copper: ...

Rico: You sure don't talk much, do you? What's the matter? Given up all hope?

Copper: ...You're a fool if you think you'll get far. My allies are searching for me as we speak, and when they find me... you're history.

Rico: Tch!

(Rico delivers a harsh kick to Copper's midsection.)

Rico: On second thought, I like you better when you're silent.

(Lifting the powerless Power Pony to his hooves, Rico drags him out to the cars that the other goons prepared and shoves him inside one. Within minutes, the cars pull away and drive toward Trotham.)
