Pearl quotes from Steven Universe

Connie

[sketch resembles Aquamarine] I think I made one eye bigger than the other.

Amethyst

[drawing resembles a winged creature] I was going for a feeling.

Pearl

[drawing resembles Lapis and has been signed] Honestly, I can't even draw a circle. [laughs nervously]

Steven

Okay, Garnet, you just drew yourself.

Garnet

Uh, I like me.

Steven

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!

Pearl

Why is Homeworld stealing humans from the boardwalk?!

Steven

I don't know, but they're only taking my friends! They even got Connie! If we don't do something, they're going to take them up into space!

Amethyst

And our spaceship got jacked. So if they leave Earth…

Garnet

They'll be gone for good.

Amethyst

Ugh. Who were these guys?

Steven

That little Gem I saw before, her name's Aquamarine.

Pearl

What?!

Steven

She's got a big friend… a fusion, named Topaz.

Pearl

A Topaz fusion and an Aquamarine?

Amethyst

Are they a big deal?

Pearl

Uhh, yes! Blue and Yellow Diamond must have sent them personally!

Steven

The Diamonds? Oh, no! They must be collecting more humans for the zoo!

Aquamarine

We're not here for any of you rogue Gems. We'll leave you totally alone… [turns severe] IF you tell us where we can find my dad.

Steven

I don't know what you're talking about!

Aquamarine

Let's see. Yellow Diamond asked for "uh, my dad, a Connie, a Lars, a Sadie, a mailman, and an Onion, I think". Six human variations specified in a report by Peridot 5XG.

Steven

("Oh, no. There's lots of humans. There's my dad, Connie, Lars and Sadie, the mailman, Onion... I think.")

Steven

The list! I gave them the list.

Pearl

What are you talking about?

Steven

Aquamarine doesn't have a dad. She's looking for someone named "My Dad"! This is all my fault.

Garnet

Don't worry about that now. Our objective's still the same. Beat the Gems…

Steven

Save our friends!

Aquamarine

Hey, Topaz, look! They want to lose another fight.

Aquamarine

[freezes Onion, Sadie, Connie, Jamie and Alexandrite trying to escape her spaceship; to Steven] Nice try. But it's hopeless, My Dad. I can't go back to Homeworld without getting what the Diamonds want.

Steven

[looks back at his friends frozen in mid-air; pauses and admits to her]I'm... not My Dad.

Aquamarine

[stern] What?

Steven

I'm not My Dad!

Aquamarine

How much longer is this mission going to take?

Steven

Well, I can end it for you, right now.

Aquamarine

Oh, really?

Steven

I'm someone the Diamonds will want more than any of these humans. The leader of the Crystal Gem rebellion, the Gem that shattered Pink Diamond. I'm not My Dad... [lifts his shirt to reveal his gem to her] I'm my mom! I'm Rose Quartz!

Aquamarine

[gasps in surprise, deactivates her wand] No way!

Connie

Steven?!

Pearl

No, don't! Steven!!

Amethyst

What are you doing?!

Steven

[turns back] I get it now! I'm the only one who can stop what she started! I can stop all of it!

Garnet

You're wrong! Steven, get down here!

Steven

She wouldn't have wanted this! But I do.

Amethyst

I'm gonna kick your butt if you don't come down here right now!

Pearl

[breaks down as she watches helplessly] Steven... [the door begins to close behind Steven, Aquamarine and Topaz]

Connie

[as the door begins to close behind Steven, Aquamarine and Topaz] No! Don't you dare!

Steven

[turns back before the door closes] I love you.

Connie

NO! STOP!! [the door closes and Aquamarine's ship warps into space instantly] STEVEN!!

Steven

CONNIE HATES ME!

Pearl

Wha…?

Greg

We weren't listening.

Garnet

Also continue, Steven.

Steven

I'm not upset about what happened on Homeworld although, yeah, a lot of that was really messed up. But my relationship with Connie is even more messed up! I left her behind to go to Homeworld after promising we'd face everything together. I'm sure I really hurt her. I've been calling and texting her for a week, but she hasn't responded once. [tearing up] Connie might never talk to me again! [runs away, crying]

Garnet

Steven!

Greg

I'll go get him.

Sapphire

[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.

Steven

It wasn't like that. You know she didn't want anyone to get hurt.

Sapphire

I don't know that! I clearly don't know anything.

Pearl

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.

Could you imagine that running a colony would be this dull?

Pearl

I could imagine it if you would like me to, my Diamond.

Pearl

Is everything alright, my Diamond? You seem troubled.

Rose

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.

Pearl

Forgive me, my Diamond. I shouldn't have brought you to such a place.

Rose

No. I needed to see this.

Steven

So she did want to protect Earth. She didn't realize what the colony was doing to the planet.

Sapphire

So what?! She suddenly started to care about Earth? Why did she have to rope us into all this? Why couldn't she just stop the colonization herself?

Pearl

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.

Pearl

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-

Sapphire

Following us.

Pearl

What?

Sapphire

This whole time, we thought we were following her, but she was following us. How could she not after you swept her off her feet?

Sapphire

[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!

Pearl

Well, Amethyst was with her. Right? Maybe she knows where she went.

Steven

Amethyst, have you seen Ruby?

Amethyst

Yeah. I've seen her. She asked me for a pen and paper a while ago. Why?

Pearl

Because she ran away! Did you see where she went?

Amethyst

I don't know. Maybe she'll come back. It's not my job to babysit her.

Bismuth

Hey everyone. Did you guys… "Bis-mith" me?

Peridot

Ha! I win! Also, less importantly, who are you?

Steven

I… invited Bismuth! I hope that's cool.

Sapphire

[slowly walks up to her] Bismuth. [hugs her]

Bismuth

Whoa, Sapphire!

Bismuth! [tackle her to the floor, and begin nuzzling her]

Sapphire

You wouldn't believe what we've all been through. I'm so sorry! We should've-

Bismuth

Look, I'm right there with you, Steven filled me in.

Peridot

So, is anyone going to introduce me?

Amethyst

Let's give 'em some space.

Garnet

What a wonderful idea. Humans found a way to make a moment's decision last forever. I won't need future vision to know I'll always remember this.

Steven

I'm so glad. [starts tearing up]

Garnet

Oh no. I'm sorry. Don't cry.

Steven

[wipes off the tears] I guess seeing everyone together's got me really choked up. [bigger tears begin flowing out of his eyes] Wait a second. You don't think…?

Garnet

[takes off her visor, opening her third eye, using her future vision; horrified] Blue Diamond!

Steven

She's here?!

Garnet

And she's not alone.

Steven

Oh, no. It's the Diamonds! [runs up to Nanefua] Nanefua, get on your Nane-phone! We've got a code blue and a code yellow!

Garnet

This is it.

Peridot

WE'RE OVER HERE, YOU CLODS!

Pearl

Wha- where are they going?!

Steven

If they're not here for us, they must be here for the Cluster!

Bismuth

What's the Cluster?

Steven

It's a huge earth-destroying geo-weapon that the Diamonds made out of a bajillion gem shards!

Garnet

Blue Diamond.

Greg

Guess it's time to work the old Universe charm.

No!

Greg

Alright, I'll just... be in here. [goes inside the house]

Blue Diamond

Rose Quartz. So you escaped Homeworld and crawled back here. [raises her head, angrily crying with tears of grief] This is Pink's world! How dare you use it as your hiding place?! COME! Answer for what you've done!

Peridot

This is bad! This is bad! This is bad! This is bad!

Bismuth

Come on, you rocks! Let's put her in a bubble!

Right!

Steven

Wait, there's no reason to fight. Let me talk to her. [approaches Blue Diamond to try and reason with her] Blue Diamond, please listen to me! I didn't shatter Pink Diamond. Pink Diamond's right here. It's pretty interesting when you think about it--

Blue Diamond

ENOUGH! [hurls an energy blast at Steven, knocking him back, only for Alexandrite to catch him]

Steven

Wait!

Blue Diamond

You cannot fathom how much I've mourned, what thousands of years of grief has done to me! [unleashes her aura, de-fusing Alexandrite, making everyone fall on their knees and tear up, except Connie]

Blue Diamond

I know this sword. This is the sword THAT SHATTERED HER! [destroys the sword as Steven gasps, which made Connie fall down only to be caught by Lion] You deserve this-- all of you!

Steven

Stop, please!

Amethyst

Steven…

Pearl

What do we do?

Steven

I don't know. She won't listen, she just wants to fight!

Garnet

Blue Diamond!

Blue Diamond

Who are you supposed to be?

Garnet

I am the will of two Gems to care for each other, to protect each other from any threat, no matter how vast or how cruel. You couldn't stop me 5,750 years ago, and you can't stop me now!

Blue Diamond

It's you, that Ruby and Sapphire that disrupted my court.

Garnet

This is supposed to be MY day!

Blue Diamond

You hope to defeat me by clinging to my feet?

Garnet

I just needed to keep you from taking three steps to the right.

Pearl

[through her thoughts] I won't give up. Everything I do, I do it for her! I do it for him!

Steven

[leaps through her] Don't forget about yourself, Pearl!

Pearl

I do it for me!

Bismuth

[through her thoughts] I just got my friends back, and now, I'm gonna lose 'em again?!

Steven

We can still do this… [jumps through her] together!

Bismuth

What am I thinking? We haven't lost, yet!
