Why did Discord put on a police uniform in my reinterpretation of the scene, you ask? Honestly, I’m so beyond rationalizing any of this.

Discord: So here’s the sitch. The Elements of Harmony got the band back together, so I can’t properly plunge Equestria into chaos without them showing up to bust the festivities. What’s worse, they landed a glancing blow on me while I made my escape. In about three days or so, I’ll turn into stone regarldess of whether they’re on-site to gloat or not. That is, *unless*… the Elements and their magic are defeated. See where I’m going with this?  
Tirek: You want to use my unique abilities to drain the current bearers of the Elements. Preserving your freedom and securing your rule. But if you can’t take them on in a straight fight, how do you expect me to fare better?  
Discord: Through the power of teamwork!  
Tirek: Really. Never took you for the type.  
Discord: Oh no, I won’t be joining you in combat. With my help, you won’t have to skulk in the night to gain power. You’ll have every ounce of Equestrian magic to yourself in no time!  
(beat)  
Tirek: Are you familiar with my brother Scorpan?  
Discord: Passingly.  
Tirek: He’s the reason I don’t do “teams.”
