Yeah, but I didn't think I'd get every Crystal Gem poofed at the same time. And what'll Dad say when he finds out? His only son, in jail at 14! What a disgrace.

[Steven, Connie, and Blue Diamond enter Yellow Diamond's bubble chamber, where the poofed gemstones of Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst, and Pearl are being bubbled]
[slams her hand so forcefully against her throne that it cracks, stands up and assumes an angered stance] What are you talking about?! You can't keep bending the rules for her, Blue! She has to set an example, and we have to set an example! If we bend the rules for her, we have to bend them for everyone!
Yes, I do! This is what White Diamond expects of all of us. From a thin flake of mica to the deepest, hardest stone, we all must make sacrifices for the sake of our perfect empire!
It means if you try and make this empire perfect -- if you just wipe away everything you see as flawed -- you lose all the things that make you happy -- like hot dogs.
Wasn't that cool, Steven? Check out the awesome job we did fixing up those hand ships! [the thumb on Yellow Diamond's ship falls off] Uh… who needs thumbs?
Hey, White, I know I was in there with you for a second, but I barely got to talk to you at all. There are so many Gems that are hurting right now. Even Blue and Yellow are hurting. You should hear what they have to say. [to Blue and Yellow; whispers] This is it.
[struggling] We… W-we… We need to talk! About us. I've conquered so many worlds for the sake of the empire. I do everything you ask, and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a lot of pressure. A Gem could crack under so much pressure. We Diamonds may be hard, but we're also brittle.
[steps forward] White, we used to be close. Don't you remember? When Pink would make us laugh -- all those silly things she did for no reason. There was a reason. She wanted us to be happy together. But we weren't, and we're still not. I know my purpose isn't to be happy, but I find it harder and harder to enforce your rules when they make me miserable. When they make us all miserable.
[grabs Pearl's gem] Come on, Pearl. Dance with me! [twirls around and fuses with Pearl to form Rainbow Quartz 2.0]
RQRainbow Quartz 2.0
Well, what do you know? It's Rainbow 2.0! Now, this is a fine mess we're in. [sees Ruby and Sapphire's gemstones falling; gasps] That won't do. [blows raspberry] Rainbow Quartz powers, activate! [catches Ruby and Sapphire's gemstones] Ah, yes. Now that's two stones, with one bird.
Almost. [looks down at Ruby and Sapphire's gemstones] Garnet, we're up against a giant robot. We need your help. Please come out. I'm here. I love you! [hugs them tightly as he begins to glow and starts fusing, to form Sunstone]
I know she's in there. We'll bust into her head and change her mind.
EEveryone
Right!
SSunstone
Let's take that bully down! [to the viewers] But remember kids: if you ever have to deal with a bully, be sure to tell an adult. [yanks Pearl and Amethyst onto their shoulders and sprints towards the giant pink foot of the ship] Ally-oop! [summons her suction cups] Kids, don't try this at home. Ha! Bungacowa!
[Connie, Bismuth, Peridot, and Lapis back away to give some space for the Crystal Gems to perform their fusion dance; Obsidian is formed by letting out a big loud cry for battle]
