And then we go into the tricks.
All right. But I really think we should save the dog walker for next time.
This is our first impression. We gotta go big. And we should go soon, too, before they get suspicious.
Those two are acting very suspicious. [to Garnet] Should we ask them what's going on?
What do you say we move on to the next segment, everybody? Here we are! I call this segment…
SSugilite
[voiceover] "You Like That, Little Man?"
'Cause everybody loves a callback. She's not actually in this episode. Do we still have to pay her? Yes? Fair enough. Now it's no secret that us fine fusions pack an extra punch, but Sugilite is a standout for being a heavy-hitting powerhouse!
Now, Alexandrite has a throat full of flames. Whether that's the cause of her raspy voice is up for debate. [screen monitor shows a clip from "Super Watermelon Island" of Alexandrite's fight with Malachite] But there's no room for questions when she attacks, exhaling a burning blaze. So I call this segment… "Breath of Fire!"
[talking to herself] There must be some common thread between Steven and Amethyst that's heightened by their fusion.
I don't know, Sards, I guess, zero plus zero equals zero.
Something they both think. Something they both do.
They say two wrongs don't make a right-- I guess I'm living proof that that's true! [chuckles] I'm just one big super wrong, good-for-nothing dud with a yo-yo!
[The audience laughs louder hysterically]
[uncomfortably] They want to impress us! They were planning this all morning, we hijacked the show! I was excited. [covers her face in guilt] It's not about US!
[The studio lights go out and Smoky watches Sardonyx separating back into Pearl and Garnet; The room begins to fall apart as it lights up]
It's Sardonyx! If she's not here, the room can't exist!
[finding Connie sitting sadly on the stairs by the warp pad] Hey, what's wrong?
I did something terrible at school, and I don't know what to do.
Well, that doesn't sound like you. What happened?
A kid I didn't know. He just bumped into me in the hallway. I was so startled, my training instincts kicked in. I just reacted. I was so embarrassed, I just ran away.
But you didn't mean to hurt him! [sighs] I know what it's like. Sometimes, you hurt people by accident. Y-you just have to try not to think about it.
For a fusion to work, there needs to be balance. An imbalance can cause your fusion to lose touch of reality, see things that aren't there, and eventually fall apart. That is to say, if one of you is falling apart, your fusion will as well. To find balance, you must understand your feelings. To understand your feelings, you must see them clearly without running from them.
Take a moment to think of just
Flexibility, love and trust
Take a moment to think of just
Flexibility, love and trust.
Here comes a thought that might alarm you
What someone said and how it harmed you
Something you did that failed to be charming
Things that you said are suddenly swarming.
And, oh, you're losing sight, you're losing touch
All these little things seem to matter so much
That they confuse you
That I might lose you.
Take a moment, remind yourself to
Take a moment and find yourself
Take a moment to ask yourself
If this is how we fall apart
But it's not, but it's not, but it's not, but it's not, but it's not
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
You've got nothing, got nothing, got nothing, got nothing to fear
I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.
And it was just a thought, just a thought, just a thought, just a thought, just a thought
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay
We can watch, we can watch, we can watch, we can watch them go by
From here, from here, from here.
[Stevonnie falls off the edge of the Sky Arena, un-fuses; Steven and Connie plummet down the sky in free fall]
We're falling! Steven! Let's fuse! We can hover, we'll be okay! Steven? [sees Steven covering his face with his tears falling upwards into the sky]
I didn't want to hurt anyone! [Connie swims over and grabs Steven] I'm sorry! None of them would let me help them! I had no choice!
But it's okay to think about it!
That's okay, too! There was nothing else you could've done!
I don't want to feel this way...
You have to! [facing each other] You have to be honest about how bad it feels so you can move on! That's how it was for me.
[Steven pauses for a long beat, sniffles]
[Pearl's aggressive driving draws the attention of a police car]
You have to pull over to the side and show them your license.
[chuckles uneasily] Oh, right.
Steven But... but you're old!
What was I supposed to tell the DMV? That I'm from another planet?! I'm not exactly a citizen, Steven!
[After a moment's thought, Pearl narrows her eyes, steps on the gas, speeds past the "mystery woman" and turns up the radio. Amethyst cheers, while Steven becomes more worried]
Pearl, you can't just drive away! This is serious!
Pearl, you're a total bad-- [is cut off by the screeching tyres as Pearl makes a sharp turn]
This is why we buckle up.
[Steven, Amethyst and Pearl are walking alongside the road. Pearl stops abruptly]
I was so ready! I really wanted to see your Krol.
What are you talking about?
[throws her jacket on the ground and struggles to get out of her jeans] I was going to drink a juice and wear these...ugh... pants! [falls over] ..And... [grunts] hit people gently enough as to not actually hurt them, and you'd say, "Wow, Pearl is really cool!" But nooo, instead, we drove to loud music... [throws off her jeans] chased a mysterious woman into the night and broke the law. [groans] I've lost my edge. I should have stayed home with the puzzle.
[Steven and Amethyst turn to each other]
Listen to yourself. You're so hardcore! Who cares about pants? You gunned it from the cops!
That's the most scared I've been since you almost let me die! You're a criminal now!
Now? [gets up on her feet, grinning] I've been a criminal for 6,000 years.
