Scenes with Steven Universe 298
Hey, why's donut guy breathing fire?
StevenI tried to prank Lars but I used too much Fire Salt!
Steven, that's hilarious.
[struggling to talk, getting out words in between fire breaths] YOU… DID… THIS… TO ME?! [angrily begins chasing Steven around, setting the boardwalk aflame in the process, as Amethyst looks on, greatly amused and laughing]
It wasn't Steven! [approaching] It was me. [Lars appears surprised and lets Steven go]
Ohhh, now it's gettin' good!
After all I do for you, you LIE to me? So you can sneak off with some other girl?!
Steven
[from background] And other boys! [Lars, still struggling to breath, glares at Steven whom retreats behind cover]
[tearing up] That night we played video games, I don't know what it meant to you. But ever since then, I can't get the thought out of my head that you’re a good person. [grabs his hand] That night, I really thought…Player Two. Is that just your way of saying I could’ve been anyone?
[attempting to speak without breathing fire] Sadie-- [coughs]
Steven
Another day saved by Steven Universe, with the bonus musical stylings of Harold Smiley! You're welcome!
[Lars walks to Sadie to try and reason with her as she puts out the fires, turning his head away from facing her]
[in a strained voice while coughing] Uh, no! [wheezes] I want to help! But I get it if you want to be alone.
Steven
Done and done! Steven 2, you're the smart one. Steven 3, you're the funny one. Steven 4, you're the sensitive one. And I'm... [combs his front locks] the handsome one! Okay?
S4Steven 4
Okie-dokie artichoke!
Steven
Steven 4, what are you doing?! You're not the funny one! Steven 3 is!
S3Steven 3
Well, we're all the same person so we're all equally prone to being hilarious.
Steven
No, no, that was too smart an observation for you, 3! You're the funny one!
S2Steven 2
Wait, which one am I again?
Steven
Dang it, Number 2!! You're the smart one!!
S4Steven 4
Hey—if Steven 1 is the handsome one, does that mean the rest of us aren't good-looking?
S3Steven 3
No way! We're all extremely attractive!
S2Steven 2
Let's go get jobs as models!
Steven
Hey!! None of you are the handsome one! I'M THE HANDSOME ONE!! [all three Stevens dumb down] Uh— no! I didn't mean— We decided— [groans] Let's take five.
S2Steven 2/3/4
THERE'S A FIFTH STEVEN?!?!
Steven
NO!!! I MEAN A FIVE MINUTE BREAK!!!
S2Steven 2/3/4
[all chuckle] We know!
Steven
Can't you see it in our eyes
We're the one, we're the—ONE, [all Gems] TWO, THREE, FOUR!!
We're not like the other guys
Steven
By the way, don't go back in time
Or you'll destroy yourselves
Steven
[tends to a tiny Centipeedle] Uhh, hi. Ah, it's okay. Look, please don't be scared of me. See? I'm not gonna hurt you. Yeah, just relax. [the Centipeetle soon relaxes itself] Yeah, that's it. Doesn't relaxing feel nice? You wanna... come over here and relax with me? [it growls] Yeah, we can totally just hang out right here on the floor. [it walks slowly forward] Yeah, don't be shy. We can be friends. My name's Steve—
STEVEN!! Get away from that thing!! [Garnet jumps]
Steven
Wait! It's not— [Garnet lands down in front of the Centipeedle; Pearl lands to Steven]
This was a terrible idea! And he's even managed to pop a bubble and let out that awful... thing!
[Garnet clutches her sparkling left gauntlet at the Centipeedle, which starts backing away from her]
If that thing hurt you, so help me I'll—
Steven
No! It didn't do anything! [runs and blocks Garnet] Garnet! Don't hurt it! I accidentally let it out of its bubble, but it didn't even try to hurt me. It's not like the other monsters, it's just scared and confused. [Amethyst jumps down] Please, Garnet! I'm begging you!
[Garnet stares face-to-face with Steven for a beat]
I can't say no to that face.
Excuse me?! You can't be serious!
I think you should try and tame it, Steven. [Steven runs to Garnet and hugs her left leg]
Steven
Garnet, thank you sooo much!
Hmm... [Amethyst starts laughing]
Shut down by the G-squad! Ha ha ha ha!!
Well, let's at least take some precaution.
Steven
So, what's the problem? Amethyst falls on stuff all the time.
It'd be fine if it was just her body, but her gem is damaged.
Steven
So, what do you do to fix it?
Before... we had Rose... [Garnet walks to Steven]
Steven, your mother had healing tears that flowed from her gem. She felt real love for those around her, and she felt real sorrow when they were hurt. You have the Rose Quartz gem now. I know that power is in you too. [Steven comes to googly-eyed purple eggplant girl who is sassy and lazy and eats salsa all day]
Steven
AMETHYST, SHOW ME YOUR GEM!!!
Steven
The power... to heal...
[vines wrap around Steven, leaps out in a burst of roses. Cut back to Steven straining in front of Amethyst]
Steven
It's not working! I guess I'm just too tough to cry.
Just today, you were crying about snakes.
Steven
They don't have any arms!
We have no choice. We need to take Amethyst to Rose's Healing Spring.
Pssh! Guys, I'm fine! I'm not gonna get any wor-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r... [pop, speaks backwards] ...hcaeb eht no gniod uoy era tahw syug yeh?
Steven
Did you see what I did? It was magic! My tears brought the fountain back to life and saved Amethyst!
..I'm pretty sure me and Garnet unplugging the clogged chamber brought the fountain back to life.
Steven
[beat] You don't think my crying was... a little related to that?
Oh, Steven. You don't have healing tears. You'll never have any real magic powers, [Steven becomes horrified] and we don't want anything more to do with you.
"She didn't really say that!"
[cut back to present]
Steven
No... but that's what it felt like.
Is that why you've been so down? [he shrugs] Oh. You can have your juice back.
Steven
Nah, that's okay. [sniffles, sighs] Everyone expects me to be like my mom. What if I never get those powers?
Then you'll be like me. That's not so bad.
Steven
But... if I don't have powers, then I can't hang out with Amethyst, or Garnet, or Pearl... [starts crying, grips pants tightly] and I-I can't go on missions! [Connie touches his hand]
You don't need any powers to be here with me.
[a gust of wind blows through; Connie slurps his juice box. She leans forward to Steven and sparkles magically appear on her head]
Steven
What's wrong?
I think... [sigh] there's just... [take glasses off] There's something wrong with my glasses. [sees Steven clearly] My... My eyes... I-I-I can see!
Steven
What?!
I can see without my glasses!
Steven
Did I... heal your eyes? But... how?
[he looks at the sparkles around the straw of the Durian juice carton; Steven gasps, Connie drops it]
Steven
The juice box! I don't have healing tears! I HAVE HEALING SPIT!!
What am I going to tell my parents? What am I going to tell my optometrist?!
Steven
I don't even know! [hugs her] Oh, thank you, Connie! Lion, let's go tell the Gems! They're never gonna believe this!
Steven
[observes school equipment] Yup, it's all coming together.
So, how do we begin our... school?
Steven
Ugh... I... I don't know! This is everything Connie told me! Why do I never ask follow-up questions?! Who will teach little Stevie now?!
[gasps] Teach you?! Steven! If only I had known that's what you really wanted!
[Pearl then performs incantations and slowly summons an object out of her gemstone]
We found this Gem-powered mirror at the Galaxy Warp. It can capture and display any event it's witnessed in all of Gem history. [it drops in Steven's hands] It'll offer you everything you've ever wanted to know about your fellow Gems and our culture.
Steven
I must be incredibly important to Gem culture.
[scoffs] It's just you in there. It hasn't even been activated. [clears throat] Show us the Galaxy Warp. [long pause] Show us the Galaxy Warp! [beat] Oh, come on! [tugs it dragging Steven]
Steven
Whoa! [chuckles]
I know you've seen it! [examines mirror, sighs] It is in pretty rough shape. It must finally be broken. [sighs] What a shame.
Steven
It doesn't seem broken to me.
[sighs] Oh, well. I guess that's the end of our school.
Steven
[starry-eyed] Ohh! Ahh! So, you could say... school's out for summer?
Yes. Good, Steven. There are many ways to say the same thing.
Steven
[gasps] School's out! [runs outside]
Hmm. The asymmetry of this pile is really starting to bother me.
[The Gems have just learned that the mirror is being sentient towards Steven and are horrified.]
It's talking to him? It shouldn't be able to do that. I-it should just be following orders...
Steven. [walks towards him]
MMirror
[displaying an image of Steven, Lars, Sadie laughing and using his voice] Noooo!
You should just give us back the mirror. It will be safer where we can watch it.
MMirror
[still displaying Steven laughing] Noooo!
Steven
Wha..?
Steven. Don't make me have to take it from you.
Steven
[confused] It doesn't want to go with you. Don't you hear it screaming?
Steven, it's just a mirror, a tool. It can't want anything.
[she reaches out to take the mirror from him.]
MMirror
[now repeatedly] Noooo! Noooo! Noooo! [Steven looks at the mirror and then back at Garnet, greatly disturbed.] Noooo! Noooo! Noooo! [now displaying an image of Steven yelling] Noooo!
Steven
Ah! [places his hand over the mirror and snaps] It wants to be with me!
[he tries to smack her hand away, but accidentally hits her face instead, knocking her shades off in the process. He stiffens in shock at this. Cut to first-person view on Steven.]
[Garnet, all three eyes exposed, looks straight at Steven in anger, giving him a terrifying furious look. Cut back to Steven, who quickly glances at the hand that he had hit Garnet with, and then looks back at her with a look of complete terror on his face.]
Steven
[gasps] Ah! Ah! AAAAAAHHHHHH! [runs out the front door] AAAAAAHHHHHH! I'M SORRY!
[puts her shades back on, clenching her fists] That little boy is in big trouble.
[following Garnet and Amethyst, who angrily walk out of the house to find Steven] Garnet, wait! I'm sure he didn't understand what he was doing!
[Steven approaches the blue girl with the cracked gem on her back; she turns to Steven with blank eyes]
Thank you. [stands up] You didn't... oh! [Steven catches her fall] You actually talked to me. You helped me! It's Steven, right?
Steven
[breathes deeply] Hm.
I'm Lapis. Lapis Lazuli. Are you really a Crystal Gem?
Steven
Yeah!
Steven
But... wha..?
Steven
Wha? [the Gems run forward to them, summoning their weapons] WAIT!!
You... [Steven turns back; a huge water-arm slowly rises out of the ocean behind her; to the Gems] You three knew I was in there, and you didn't do anything. Did you even wonder who I used to be?! [slams the water-arm on the Gems, trapping Garnet; Pearl and Amethyst land down opposite sides]
Steven
What are you doing?!
I'm Lapis Lazuli, and you can't keep me trapped here anymore! [Steven gasps] They're not gonna let us leave.
Steven
Leave?! [Lapis parts the ocean apart to make a path]
Steven
Where?!
Steven
B-b-but... B-but I... uh... [Lapis becomes down for a beat, closes path]
[Garnet breaks free and punches the water-arm away, runs to Steven and Lapis]
Don't trust them, Steven. Goodbye.
[a huge wave knocks Steven and Garnet back behind Lapis as she walks into the ocean; Pearl and Amethyst run to them]
[hugs him] Steven! Are you okay?!
Steven
Yeah. I'm fine. So, that was another Gem?
[sighs] Yes. [the Gems stare at the ocean for a beat]
Steven
I'm grounded?
[holding up a shovel] And now we're gonna bury you 'til you've learned your lesson!
Steven
Aah! That's not how grounding works!
MDMayor Dewey
Hey! It's those magical ladies! [runs at Garnet] What's going on here?!
The ocean is gone. Obviously.
MDMayor Dewey
That's right! Now it's just a desert. No one wants to take a vacation to... Desert City! [bawling] Aww, we're gonna lose all our summer business!
And all the beach babes! Awww!
Who's gonna buy my fries?
SMr. Smiley
Who's gonna have fun at Funland?!
MDMayor Dewey
As mayor, I DEMAND YOU EXPLAIN THIS IMMEDIATE— [Garnet slaps megaphone off his hand] ..ly...
Steven
Lapis Lazuli?
She's the Gem you released from the mirror.
[Pearl projects a hologram of Lapis through her gemstone; the citizens all gasp and awe in amazement indistinctly]
Steven
But she's a Gem just like us!
There's a lot you don't know about Gems, Steven.
Steven
Ahh... Forgot to ask Dad what kind of donuts he wants. Ugh... [walks back inside] Hey, Dad, I—
[sees Greg rummaging the fridge and humming to himself. He grabs a plate with turkey leg and mashed potatoes, a bowl of cranberries; kicks fridge door and spins around]
Olé! Steven! [a shocked Steven stares for a beat] Ha! You had me scared there, son. Didn't see you... standing in the doorway. Your old man's still got it! [Steven angrily stares at him] What, this? I guess I couldn't wait for those donuts.
[Steven crosses his arms. Greg pauses, looks down at his broken leg]
Oh—oh, yeah! Ugh-ho-ho-hoh! [falls down] Ouch! [rolling] Ho-ho-ho-hoh...
Steven
Just stop, Dad. I get what's going on. Your leg isn't broken at all, is it? [Greg stands up]
It was broken, but you healed it back at the car wash.
Steven
You lied to me! Now I can't do it anymore!!
Steven
The Gems needed me to fix the broken rock, but my powers aren't working! It-it's because of you! You messed with my head!
No! I-I didn't mean to fo— I-I just wanted to live with my son again!
Steven
I really thought I was getting better. I finally felt like a Crystal Gem. [cries] Now, what if I can't do anything?
Steven, don't beat yourself up! This is my fault!
Steven
Yeah! Yeah, it is!
Steven
I've never seen so many warp pads before! I hope I have enough of these Crying Breakfast Friends stickers. Where do all these warp pads go, anyway?
Well, Steven, these warp pads were used to travel off-planet. They were our connection to the Gem Homeworld and to Gem-controlled planets all over the universe.
Steven
[gasps] You mean we could go anywhere we want in outer space?!
Yeahhh, we could do that if they weren't all busted.
It's true. The Galaxy Warps have all been inactive for thousands of years.
Steven
Can't we fix them?
It's fine. I'll always have my memories of other worlds, but now I'm here... on Earth... forever.
Steven
With me!
Right. [pats his head] With you. [walks to the destroyed central pad] It really is incredible out there, though. I wish you could see it, Steven.
[via communications] "Hey, can you hear me?! Where do you two think you're going?!"
Steven
Hey, Dad! Guess where I am!
I know where you are—it's where you're going that concerns me!
Steven
Don't worry, Dad! This is just a quick test flight.
This'll be perfectly fine, just a pop over to the nearest star system. I'll give him back in 50 years.
Steven
50 years?!
"WHAT!?! I'll be dead in 50 years!! Pearl, you bring him back right now or I'll—" [Pearl cuts him off] Hello?! Hello!?!
Steven
Pearl, I'm not supposed to go! Pearl!!
Oh, this is so exciting! Steven, you're gonna love it. [plays keyboard keys to a discordant note, opening the ship's wings with eight engines] Hang on tight!
[the spaceship blasts through the clouds and up into the stratosphere. For a moment, Steven looks and sees a piece of debris flying past him]
Steven
What was that? [the ship's alarm blares loudly as more parts of the ship fly away] Pearl?!
We can make it! We're almost there! [the ship is starting to break apart]
Steven
Pearl!!
I'm gonna show it to you...
[Steven hesitates for a beat. He sees a hatch release cord and pulls it, shooting out the ship's glass dome]
Steven! What are you doing?!
Steven
We need to go, Pearl! We're not gonna make it!
But we're almost there! [sees a cluster of stars before Steven comes to her face to face]
Steven
Pearl! I know you miss space, and I know you worked hard! But sometimes... you just got to know when to bail.
