Steven Universe quotes from Steven Universe

Steven

Lapis!

No. I'm not Lapis anymore. We're Malachite now.

Garnet

It's as I feared.

Pearl

It looks like Peridot somehow repaired the Communication Hub. Well, at least some of it.

Steven

So... we just gotta wreck it up again, right? (to Amethyst) You guys should form Sugilite!

Amethyst

(smiling a bit) Yeah... Well, it's up to Garnet, I guess. (smiling widely, to Garnet) What do you say? [Pearl looks scared in the background] Shall we mash it up?...

Garnet

No.

Amethyst

But, don't we need to be huge like last time?

Garnet

Last time was a disaster. Last time we fused, Sugilite went berserk. It's because of her that we can't even warp here anymore. (takes off her visor) I can be brash, you can be reckless. And we can both get carried away. So, for the time being, [She puts her visor back on and Amethyst's reflection can be seen in them] Sugilite is benched. What we need now is to be careful. [Steven gasps] It's you and me, Pearl. Let's fuse. [Pearl looks astonished as she begins to tear up] Don't cry, Pearl. [Pearl tries to not cry and quivers as she strongly breathes in through her nose, sniffling thickly] Come on, let's do this.

Pearl

I'm right behind you. (sniffling)

Steven

(running towards them) Woo-hoo! Fusion! Fusion! Fusion! Fusion! *sits to the left of Lion* (Amethyst walks over)

Garnet

(gemstones glow) Ready.

Pearl

(grunts; stretches) Hang on, it's been such a long time.

Sardonyx

Gooooood evening, everybody! (struts over to Lion, Steven, and Amethyst and does a twirl) This is the lovely Sardonyx! Coming to you a-live from the soon-to-be-former Communication Hub! How are y'all doin' tonight?

Amethyst

(sarcastically) Great...

Steven

(gasps) Giant woman!

Amethyst

Stop!

Pearl

Is something the matter, Amethyst?

Amethyst

You... you shouldn't.

Steven

Pearl, we saw you.

Pearl

[shocked] What?

Steven

You need to tell Garnet it was you!

Garnet

I don't understand.

Pearl

I'm sorry. It's just... so much fun being Sardonyx with you.

Garnet

[drops her to the ground; shocked] That's why I couldn't see us finding Peridot.

Pearl

Wait, let me explain!

Garnet

[starts walking towards her; intimidatingly] You've been fixing the hub!

Pearl

[backing away; fearfully] It really was Peridot! The first time.

Garnet

You tricked me!

Pearl

No! No, no, no, no! We just needed a reason to fuse! I just wanted to share a few more victories with you!

Garnet

Those weren't victories!

Amethyst

Wait, Garnet! You know, we're so much weaker than you! Fusing with you is like our one chance to feel... stronger!

Garnet

Don't defend her! Peridot is out there somewhere and Pearl's been distracting us with... NOTHING!

Pearl

Garnet...

Garnet

[angrily points at her] That's enough! [to Amethyst] Amethyst, fuse with me!

Amethyst

But-!

Garnet

[clenching her fist] Let's just get this over with.

Steven

Pearl! Where have you been?!

Pearl

Looking for Peridot… For a few days straight. Steven, I know I might have… disappointed all of you. I know Garnet's very upset with me. But I'm going to prove to her that she can trust me again. [Garnet walks in through the front door] Oh! Garnet! I was just looking for Peridot! She's bound to be somewhere, right? Any new ideas? [Garnet says nothing and walks past her; remorsefully] I'm sorry.

Greg

[enters the house with a brochure; excitedly] Who wants to go on a road trip?! Umm… Is this a bad time?

Garnet

No. Please continue.

Garnet

[agitated, panting] Calm down... I don't feel like forgiving Pearl!... You don't understand, you must... If you're not going to listen, then you can just GO! [splits into Ruby and Sapphire]

Sapphire

[calmly] We must move past this, Ruby.

[furiously] She lied to us so we'd form Sardonyx! She tricked us! Don't you feel used?!

Steven

[surprised] Ruby! Sapphire! I…

Sapphire

You're choosing to take it personally.

IT'S FUSION, SAPPHIRE! WHAT'S MORE PERSONAL TO US THAN FUSION?!

Sapphire

I know you're still upset...

Oh, so it's just me?!

Sapphire

Of course not. Can't you see I'm completely engulfed with rage?

Well, it doesn't feel like it!

Sapphire

The sooner we forgive Pearl, the better it will be for us all.

YOU'RE NOT AS ABOVE THIS AS YOU THINK YOU ARE!

Steven!

Steven

[enraged] I was so happy when Garnet said she wanted to go on this trip with me and Dad! Home's been awful! Here's been awful! I thought you wanted to have a fun time, but everyone's been acting awful too! It... it just came with us! I don't understand! Is it... is it me?

...No! Steven, it's all us!

Sapphire

But we made him feel like it was his fault... I keep looking into the future, when all of this has already been solved, as if it doesn't matter how you feel in the present! [starting to cry] No wonder you think I don't care...!

Sapphire... No, nonononono! This is all my fault, I... I didn't want to look for a solution, I... I just wanted to be mad! You're right! You're always right! I was being stupid!

Sapphire

I don't think you're stupid!

I'm... sorry. [gently brushes Sapphire's hair aside, revealing her sad eye]

Sapphire

You honestly think I'm not upset about what happened? I was just... trying to do the right thing.

I know... [starts smiling] You know what's nice about being split up?

Sapphire

What?

I get to look at you...

Sapphire

[pushes her off, laughing] Be serious!

[hugs Sapphire] There's my Laughy Sapphy!

Sapphire

Shh! You're embarrassing me in front of Steven! [cut to Steven, feeling awkward at the scene]

Steven

Hey, Pearl! [sees a desolate Pearl sitting on the couch, looking at the ceiling] Pearl?

Pearl

[jumps up] Steven! You're back!

Steven

Yeah... [sits down] Show business is rough.

Pearl

Is there something I can help you with?

Steven

Not unless you can make William Dewey interesting.

Pearl

How do you know William Dewey?

Steven

I'm gonna be him in this play! But he's totally boring! He's perfect and he never makes mistakes.

Pearl

[sigh] Wish I could say the same for myself.

Steven

Yeah, but nobody's like that! Everybody gets stuff wrong, and then you have to keep going and it's hard, which is why it's great when you never stop trying!

Pearl

..When did you get so smart?

Peridot

Stupid broken warp. First, the Communication Hub. Now this is busted again. These Crystal Gems are a menace.

Pearl

Oh, aha! Look! I was right! My plan worked perfectly!

Steven

[waves at her] Good morning!

Peridot

What?! How did you know I was here?

Steven

We found a secret way to track you, and we'll never tell you how, even if you ask nicely.

Peridot

[laughs] You Gems really are as dull as dirt!

Pearl

You're the dull one if you thing you can fly this wreck!

Peridot

[pauses] What? Can you speak louder? Some of these communicators are gunked up.

Steven

[cleans off a microphone, speaks into it] Pearl says you're the dull one if you think you can fly this wreck!

Peridot

[waits for Steven's response to come through] [laughs] Fly? I'm not using this vessel to fly. I'm using it to TRAP YOU! [a door closes, trapping Steven and the Gems in the room] Isn't this nice? No more Crystal Gems running around, messing with my plans, destroying my things. Looks like I've got you just where I want you. How does it feel to be so easily outsmarted, you CLODS?!

Pearl

No...

Amethyst

[speaks into the microphone] Hey, uh, this is Amethyst. I don't appreciate being called a clod, you clo-

Peridot

Enough talk! Prepare yourselves for annihilation! [dramatically hits a button] Hiyah! [nothing happens, hits it again] Hiyah!

Peridot

It works! Yes! DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIIIIE!

Pearl

[through screen] Garnet… I'm sorry!

Amethyst

Wait a sec!

Pearl

Things weren't supposed to turn out this way... [inside, Garnet punches the wall again]

Garnet

We'll get outta here somehow.

Pearl

[sighs] That's not what I mean! I really wanted to catch Peridot to make up for what I did... [Garnet withdraws her gauntlets] I wanted to prove to you that... that everything could go back to normal...

Garnet

Catching Peridot won't make things go back to normal. [through screen] This isn't about Peridot.

Amethyst

Hey... they're actually talking!

Steven

Now they can finally work things out!

Amethyst

Not if they get crushed!

Pearl

Please! Tell me! How can I make you forgive me?!

Garnet

You can't! You lied to me! You need to learn that there are consequences to your actions!

Pearl

I'm sorry! I... I couldn't help myself!

Garnet

[kicks opposite side of wall next to Pearl] I don't want to hear your excuses!

Pearl

But it's true! No matter how hard I try to be strong like you, I'm just a Pearl. I'm useless on my own. [cries] I need someone to tell me what to do.

Pearl

When we fuse, I can feel what it's like to be you. Confident and secure, and complete. You're perfect. You're the perfect relationship. You're always together, I just... I wanted to be a part of that.

Garnet

You're wrong! I'm not as strong as you think. I fell apart over this. Ruby and Sapphire were in turmoil over how you deceived me. [through screen] I came undone.

Amethyst

Whoa, that really happened?

Steven

[nods] Hm.

Garnet

It's not easy being in control. I have weaknesses too, but I choose not to let them consume me. I struggle to stay strong because I know the impact I have on everyone. Please understand, Pearl. [through screen] You have an impact too. [inside] There are times when I look up to you for strength. You are your own gem. You control your destiny. Not me, not Rose, not Steven. But you must choose to be strong, so we can move forward. So I can trust you again.

Pearl

I understand. I can't give up anymore!

Garnet

Good.

Peridot

Stupid button here, I don't know what anything is AGGGH! [raises her fists in frustration] Blast this old Gem tech! Where'd they go? Why isn't anything working?!

Garnet

Surrender, Peridot! You have nowhere to run!

Steven

The Crystal Gems are gonna get you!

Peridot

You really think this is the end?! [aims her blaster at the Gems; laughs] This, this is only the beginning... of my escape! [points her blaster away at the ceiling and fires an energy shot, blast a large hole in the roof of the ship, and begins to fly off again with her helicopter fingers; laughing tauntingly] Well, I'd love to stick around and watch another one of your pathetic attempts to capture me, but I guess I'm just too smart for the likes of you lumpy, clumpy, clods! [continues laughing until Steven grabs her onto one of her feet]

Steven

I caught a Peridot!

Peridot

Hey! Get your touch-stumps off me, you Steven!

[sighs] I had a rough day at work and I'm not in the mood for any more surprises.

Connie

What happened at work?

[takes off her jacket and hangs it on Rose's sword, mistaking it for a coat rack] There was a really strange case at the hospital today, straight out of a nightmare. [beat] Oh, don't worry, the rules of doctor-patient confidentiality keep me from sharing the graphic details, but... [realizing] Hang on a moment. When did we get a coat rack?

Connie

Oh, no...

[shocked] A SWORD?! Connie, where did you get this?!

Steven

I-it's—

Connie

I found it! I just... found it outside and I wanted to show it to Steven.

How could you possibly think this is okay?!

Connie

It's—

Do you know how many children I see everyday in the hospital who've cut their faces off playing with swords?!

Connie

I—

NONE!! Because they all have parents who love them, and who don't let them play around with deadly weapons like some kind of gang member! No playing with swords, under any circumstances! [her cell phone rings, answers it] This is Dr. Maheswaran. Yes, calm down, Stromberg. Another one?

Steven

[to Connie] Is she gonna give it back?

All right, I'll-I'll be right there. [zips sword in duffle bag] I have to go to the hospital. I'll have a talk with your father to calculate just how grounded you are. [leaves, comes back] And we're using the abacus! [leaves again]

Connie

I hate that abacus. Steven, I'm so sorry. She took your mother's sword!

Steven

Maybe we can get her to change her mind?

Connie

She never ever changes her mind. We've got to get that sword back ourselves.

Steven

What do you want from me?!

Peridot

I want to get off this lousy gem-forsaken planet!

Steven

Huh?

Peridot

[shapes her fingers into arrows and points down to the Homeworld Warp] You have to fix this!

Steven

Wait, what?!

Peridot

You're my last chance. I've got no Flask Robonoids. I've got no foot! I've got no response from Yellow Diamond! [breathes in and out] I know (that) you fixed Lazuli's gem. Whatever you did, you've got to do it to the Homeworld Warp! Or else! [charges up her energy blaster, threatening to blast him]

Steven

Oh, o-okay, just give me a second! My mouth gets really dry when I'm scared. [licks his palm] Here goes. [slaps his palm onto the Homeworld Warp pad, but nothing happened]

Peridot

[confused] What was that? It didn't do anything!

Steven

It… doesn't always work.

Peridot

No. No, no, no, no, no! It has to work!

Steven

I'm really sorry.

Peridot

[laughs and sits down; plaintively] This was it. This was my last shot. [gasps] I'm gonna die here!

Steven

Hey, hey, come on. Earth isn't that bad.

Peridot

It doesn't matter what Earth is like! It's not going to be like anything soon!

Steven

[entering Rose's room] Room, I need to talk to Peridot.

I'm the only one who knows about the…

Steven

The what?!
