Lines by Steven Universe 29
Steven
Ah! No no no. [A sand wall erects behind him, gasps] No, no! [flinches; Steven prepares to be attacked but Lion simply yawns and lies down in front of him. Steven cautiously approaches him]
Steven
Ah! [Backs away] Don't bite! [Backs away again; Steven quickly learns he is seemingly harmless and begins to pet him, which Lion allows]
Steven
Aw, you just wanted attention [pets] Didn't you, didn't you? Your mane, it's so soft. [buries face in mane] So, you from around here? I'm just here on business. I really like your pink fur. You're like the cotton candy of the jungle. I always wanted an animal friend. But I thought it'd be like a goldfish. Or a dinosaur! But I guess fate had other plans for Steven Universe [Lion puts paw over Steven, whispers to self]...and his best friend Lion.
Steven
All I wanna do is see you turn into a giant woman, a giant woman
All I wanna be is someone who gets to see a giant woman
All I wanna do is help you turn into a giant woman, a giant woman
All I wanna be is someone who gets to see a giant woman.
Steven
Huh? He's leaving so soon? Does Onion just...sit around and wait for his dad all day? [notices Ranger Guy, gasps] Ranger Guy! Okay let's do this. [approaches Onion on the dock] Hey Onion, how are ya? [Onion shrugs] That's good, that's good. So I couldn't help but notice you're a G.U.Y.S. fan. [Onion stares blankly] You know, GUYS? [Onion stares blankly] The little man in your back pocket? [Onion pulls out the toy] Yeah, Ranger Guy. How would you like to trade that boring old Ranger Guy for a brand spankin' new, mint in box, Dave Guy? [pulls out a Dave Guy from bag] Pretty nice, right? [Onion shakes his head, motions to up the ante] Oh, I see where this is going. You're getting quite the deal here, with TWO Dave Guys! [Onion shakes his head and motions for more] What? You want more? L-like, two more? Five more? Ten more? Twenty more? This whole bag? All thirty of these Dave Guys for just one Ranger Guy. [Onion shakes his head to all of these, motions to up the ante once more] But there aren't anymore. The machine is empty; I bought them all. [Onion walks away] Where are you going? Hey! Let's work something out! [Onion walks leaves] Ranger Guuuuy!
[Steven turns up the boombox and shouts with the megaphone]
Steven
Who's ready to get buff?! I don't wanna see your gut, I wanna see your guts!!
Steven
I'm trying to fix what I did to our home. I was the one who set Lapis free from the mirror. Now it's my fault the ocean's gone. I'm gonna bring the ocean back, or get really thirsty trying.
Steven
[looks up to the sky] See you, Lapis… Wherever you are.
Steven
Isn't this such a beautiful night, whoa
We're underneath the thousand shining stars
Isn't it nice to find yourself somewhere different, whoa
Why don't you let yourself just be wherever you are?
Steven
We should do this again some time.
Steven
[takes snacks out of paper bag] Alrighty, let's see what we got here. Looks like a classic PBJ sandwich cut into triangles. [Lion puts paper bag on his nose, walks backwards] Very nice, it's the only shape a sandwich should be. Mama Sadie, this lunch is a win. [Lion backs up towards the front door] And for dessert we have... Whoa, look at this! Lion! Lion, look! It's a cookie shaped like a star. [chuckles] I guess you could say this cookie is... "out of this world"? Eh?
[Lion blows the bag into Steven's face. It falls down, and Steven bites the cookie. He then looks up at the portrait of Rose Quartz on the wall]
Steven
I wonder what kind of lunch my mom would've made me. [gasps] Maybe actual space cookies! [beat, sighs] I just wish... I know a little more about her.
[Lion nudges Steven; he stares at Lion with stars in his eyes]
Steven
Blink if this means you love me.
[beat. He then blows Lion's face, blinks]
Steven
He loves me!
Steven
She was trapped in a mirror and it couldn't be clearer
She wanted to leave this place and get herself back in space
And Dad, you might think she's a criminal
But her friendship comes through subliminal.
Steven
[sitting on the beach, trying to summon his mother's shield; breathes deeply] Shield. [his gem glows; slowly opens his eyes, finding himself encased his bubble shield] No! Not bubble shield! [dispels his bubble and throws a little tantrum] What am I doing wrong? The Gems can all summon their weapons, why can't I? [desperately] Isn't there somebody who can help me?!
Steven
"Sleep is a curse, and yet a curse I need to live"—Steven Universe.
Steven
Life and death and love and birth
And peace and war on the planet Earth
Is there anything that's worth more
Than peace and love on the planet Earth?
Steven
Why don't you talk to each other?
Why don't you talk to each other, just give it a try
Why don't you talk about what happened?
I know you're trying to avoid it, but I don't know why.
Steven
I know you both need it, I know you both need it
Someone who knows what you're going through
You might not believe it, you might not believe it
But you got a lot in common, you really do.
