You don't get it, do you, Steven? [starts tearing up and sniffles] It should be me. [starts crying]I'm the one that should be hanging out with the Cool Kids! She's getting back at me for everything I've done!
Because life goes on, no matter what happens. She was so upset when she found out you'd be stuck in space, Lars. She really misses you, but she can't stay sad forever. She started hanging out with the cool kids, she quit the Big Donut, all because she needed to do something to (make herself) feel better.
And look at you! Steven said you'd be hiding in some cave on Homeworld, but you're not! You're out here fighting for freedom with all your new friends in tow! Are you doing any of this to hurt Sadie?
[through Connie] Come on, we have to! We're out of energy bars! [through Steven] But it's so cute! [through Connie] But we need the protein for a healthy diet!
I've been looking into probable futures where you act like a child. I keep expecting you to run from responsibility and to turn to me for help, but you don't do that anymore. Those futures aren't probable at all. There's nothing wrong with this timeline or my future vision. I just need to factor in that you've grown up.
You begged us for a colony of your own, and now all you want to do is be rid of it. First there were too many organics. Then their cities were too difficult to dismantle, and-and now these Crystal Gems? We're tired of your excuses, Pink.
This Rose Quartz can't hurt you. You can't be swayed by a few unruly Gems. [holds her hand up in front of Pink Diamond's face, halting her as she's about to speak] Enough! You must understand, you are a Diamond. Everyone on this planet is looking to you. You don't even have to do anything. Just smile and wave. Show everyone you're unfazed by this little uprising. Your Gems will fall into line, and these Crystal Gems will be no more. As long as you are there to rule, this colony will be completed.
It better not turn out that her phone was in her pocket...or she left it on the dresser or dropped it in the toilet. Seems about as likely as putting it away in your repressed war memories.
No one can ever find out we did this. I never want to look back. So, for my last order to you as a Diamond, please, let's never speak of this again. No one can know.
[betrayed with anger] SHE LIED TO US! She lied about EVERYTHING! [freezes up the floor] She held our hands, looked us right in the eyes and told us to never question who we are as Garnet. We never questioned ourselves, or her!
[grieving with sorrow] Everything we were running from, she was right there all along. Using us for her little war. Smiling at us with those knowing eyes... Making me believe in a better future that I couldn't see, because it wasn't real. And now here we are, our friends, shattered, and corrupted! Of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took, to torture us like this.
You deserve to know everything. I was given to Pink Diamond just a few thousand years before she was given the Earth. I was supposed to make her happy, I just... never could.
All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth... none of it will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing. We're taking life, and leaving nothing behind.
She tried. When she told the other Diamonds she didn't want to go through with the colony, they told her to finish what she started. When she told the other Diamonds she wanted to preserve life on Earth, they created the zoo and threw a handful of humans in. She did everything she could as Pink Diamond. But her status meant nothing to Blue and Yellow. So she decided to make a stand, as someone they couldn't ignore. She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw... your fusion.
Before Garnet, Rose was only fighting for Earth. But Garnet changed everything. Rose wanted to fight for her, she wanted to fight for Gems! And maybe she was foolish, and maybe even...selfish, but she was-
[picks up Ruby's letter to her and reads it] "Sapphire, you were right. I need some time to think. So I'm running away. Ruby." This can't be happening! [starts tearing up] Oh, Ruby! I'm so sorry! You left before I could take back all the horrible things I said to you!
