Transcript:
Phoebe: Go, Boyserberry Swirl, and open the gates of Glitter City! Marigold: Why are you giving orders? Phoebe: 'Cause I'm playing Princess Sunbeam. Marigold: In real unicorn government, "Princess" is strictly a ceremonial position. Marigold: The QUORUM of the POINTIEST makes most of the real decisions. Marigold: In bygone times, they were selected based on horn sharpness, but today it is a combination of voting, plus a freestyle dance contest. Phoebe: Also the gates are over on your side. Marigold: I shall open them.

Well, not freestyle ones, anyway.
