Amethyst
Hey, Steven, look at this! [pulls out small cackling skull]
Whoa! What are you, crazy?! [knocks the skull out of Amethyst's hand and stomps it]
An Electric Skull, our Crystal Palace was swarming with them.
Amethyst
They were after this. [takes out an hourglass from her fanny pack]
[entranced] Can I see that?
Amethyst
Yeah, sure.
[interrupts] No! It’s extremely powerful, we shouldn't have even brought it home.
Garnet! Tell Pearl to let me see the thing! [Garnet puts finger to his lips]
Aw, man! I wanna come next time! I even wrote us a song. [takes out ukulele] It’s like: If you’re— W-wait, hold on. Hmm... [tunes ukulele, singing]
If you're evil and you're on the rise
You can count on the four of us taking you down
Cause we're good and evil never beats us
We'll win the fight and then go out for pizzas.
[Steven finds the fridge full of Cookie Cat ice cream sandwiches]
[with starry eyes] No way. I-It can't be! Wha-- Where did you get these?! I thought they stopped making them!
Well, we heard that too, and since they're your favorite...
Amethyst
We went out and stole a bunch!
[grunts at Amethyst angrily] I went back and paid for them.
The whole thing was my idea.
Amethyst
It was everyone's idea.
All that matters is that Steven is happy.
[begins to rap] Oooohhh…!
He's a frozen treat with a whole new taste,
Cos he came to this planet from outer space!
A refugee from an interstellar war,
But now he's at your local grocery store!
(Cookie Cat!) He's a pet for your tummy!
(Cookie Cat!) He's super duper yummy!
(Cookie Cat!) He left his family behind!
Cookie Caaaat! [murmurs] Now available at Gertman's off-route 109. [Gems burst out in laughter and applause]
I can't believe you did this. I’m gonna save these forever! Right after I eat this one. Hello, old friend. [bites into one] Oh, so good! [Steven's gem begins to glow] I like to eat the ears first.
Amethyst
Uh, Steven..?
Amethyst
Quick! Try and summon your weapon!
I don’t know how! [panicking] Ah, it's fading! How do I make it come back?!
Calm down, Steven. Breathe, don't force it.
Amethyst
Yeah, and try not to poop yourself either.
Please, don't. [Steven's gem glow fades away, collective sigh]
Ah, I was really close that time! Can one of you just explain how to summon a weapon?
I think my best bet is to recreate what happened the last time my gem glowed. So, [points] Garnet and Amethyst were here. Pearl was next to the fridge. Hmm... Amethyst, I think your arms were crossed?
Amethyst
Okay, your Majesty. [crosses arms]
And Pearl, your foot was like this. [moves it at the angle it was]
I don't think it works this way, Steven.
And Garnet— uhh... [mushes her face upward] Yeah.
[Steven takes half-eaten Cookie Cat out of freezer]
Then I took a bite of this Cookie Cat. Oh, wait! I sang the song first. Uh, he’s a frozen treat..all new taste..interstellar war, now available at Gertman's... Aw! It was funnier last time! [beat, sighs] Maybe I'm not a real Crystal Gem.
Don't be silly, Steven. Of course you are.
Amethyst
And you’re fun to have around, even if your gem is useless. [Pearl growls]...I mean, you’re one of us, Steven. We're not the Crystal Gems without you! [Garnet nods]
Yeah, even if I don't have powers, I still got... Cookie Cat! [takes a bite] Oh, so good. [Steven’s gem glows then summons his shield, collective gasp]
Oh-ho, what?! I get a shield?! Oh... YEAH!!
[he launches the shield which ricochets everywhere across the room, breaking a TV. Amethyst cracks up]
Huh? Cookie Cat! I summon my weapon by eating ice cream!!
[looks through telescope] Look at the size of it! I had no idea these things were so big!
Amethyst
Garnet! Pearl! [runs to them carrying Steven]
We saw. Some of us are trying to protect humanity! Where were you? [Amethyst puts Steven down]
Amethyst
..Eating fry bits.
Can I see? [peers] Whoa...
[the shining sphere uncovers itself, revealing a hexagonal-looking iris and pupil]
It's a giant eyeball! Awesome!
Not awesome! It's a Red Eye!
A Red Eye?! It's going to infect us all!
That's pinkeye, Steven. [Amethyst laughs]
It’s going to crash into Beach City and crush us, along with a bunch of oblivious, innocent people! We have to stop it!
The only thing powerful enough to destroy it is a light cannon that belonged to Rose Quartz.
Amethyst
If Rose were here, this would be so easy.
I know, but she's not. And the cannon is missing. We'll have to find another solution.
If it belonged to my mom, I bet my dad knows where it is. He can help us save the day! Ah? Eh?
..Greg is... nice, Steven. But I doubt someone like Rose would entrust someone like him with such a powerful weapon.
Amethyst
Your dad is kinda a mess, Steven.
Amethyst
I'm just sayin'! Even if she did leave it with him, he probably broke it, or lost it, or dropped it in the ocean somehow.
[speaks to the cannon] Please work! Unlock! Activate! Go, please! Everyone's counting on you, you can't just be useless! I know you can help!
It's okay, Steven! We'll figure out something else! Something even better.
R-r-right... If every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn’t have hotdogs...
[the cannon glows again; Steven gasps. Its forming hinges start to drop one by one, causing Steven to fall down]
[the cannon unlocks and falls; all Gems gasp. Steven then attempts to lift it, the Gems soon help]
Amethyst
This is it!
We fought a giant bird. We're only here for a second, we've got to go back out.
Because we have to place this Moon Goddess Statue at the top of the Lunar Sea Spire before midnight. Without it, the whole place will fall apart. Oh Steven, you should have seen the spire in its heyday. It was an oasis for Gems on Earth. It's abandoned now, but we can still save it with this statue.
Because I can help carry it for you, in this! [takes backpack out of package]
It's a novelty backpack, shaped like a cheeseburger. Aww, I blew it. [puts the backpack over his shoulder] I was just going to wear it one day, and you guys would be like "Dang, Steven, that's so cool", but this is obviously important Gem business.
Yes, so you should let us take care of it.
What? I'm a Gem! [lifts up shirt and points to gem]
But you've still got a lot to learn.
Amethyst
So let him come! [waves hands] It'll be educational.
Hmm, alright. [hands statue to Steven] You can carry it in your hamburger.
[Amethyst shows off her shapeshifting abilities]
Amethyst, you're overdoing it.
Amethyst
[as a bluejay] Ah, chill it, dude!
Just because you can shapeshift, doesn't mean you should.
Amethyst
[sarcastically, transformed into Pearl] Well, of course I can! I'm perfect! [slaps her behind] WHOMP, WHOMP! [laughs as Pearl pushes her aside]
All Gems have shapeshift powers, Steven. We can turn into objects, we can change parts of our bodies, or... we could do that.
Amethyst
[slapping her behind again] WHOMP, WHOMP!
Steven! [climbs onto dock and holds his hand] Okay, let me see it. W-? Y-you got them to go away? [Steven smiles] It just goes to show, always listen to me, and never listen to Amethyst.
Amethyst
That's fair.
It goes to show, you should have a little more faith in Steven. [Pearl blushes]
Yeah, that would have been a total "cat-tastrophe"!
APAmethyst and Pearl
[sarcastically] Hahahahaha...
But I'm feeling much better "meow"!
[The Gems groan]
What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?
Okay, that's enough. [The Gems leave in annonyance]
Wait, l've been comimg up with cat jokes all morning. You guys, l'm "feline" fine. Everything's "purr"- fect!
Amethyst
Looks like we're gonna have to split up.
Right. Steven and I will stay right here where it seems to be safe... while you guys go and solve the mystery of this place.
Wait! I wanna help solve the mystery!
Amethyst
Yeah! Come on, Steven! [picks him up] Let's solve the mystery.
Yeah! Mystery solvers! [Pearl takes Steven]
Nope. No, no, no, no, you two are a disaster waiting to happen.
But remember — this is a serious mission.
[still being held by Pearl] Understood. Serious Steven... Pearl, can you put me down?
What? Oh, yes, of course. [lets him down]
I need to be standing or else it doesn't work. Serious Steven... activate!! [goes with Garnet]
But this could be the teacups all over again!
Hey! I've put that behind me.
We're back where we started.
Whaaat?! [Pearl comes in]
Garnet! There you are! The doors and rooms here make no sense! They all bring you back here! [Amethyst runs out of a door growling and screaming]
Amethyst
Get me outta here! [runs into another door]
There are sixteen doors and we entered from the northeast, and went through three consecutive rooms in a straight line... [Amethyst returns with a bear trap on her head]
Amethyst
Ow! Rrrrr-rah!! [throws bear trap, runs back where she came]
But arrived back here out the southernmost door, which can only mean... W-well, I don't know what it means! I— [cool mist blows out; Amethyst slides along inside a block of ice] This is a death trap!! [tries to break Amethyst free with her spear]
We go back in... again, and again, and again, and again.
No! No, it's not! You were all right about me! I wanted to do this so bad, but now I feel like I'm gonna throw up. THIS IS JUST LIKE THE TEACUPS!!!
Oh, Steven, I-I didn't really mean that—
WAAAAIT!!! Ah!! Wait, you guys! What if this is just like the teacups? That's why we're getting so lost... That's why I'm feeling so sick! All the rooms are spinning us around so we end up here!
How could you possibly think punching a blood polyp was a good idea?! Look at all the gunk you got on me! And look at Steven! [brief pause; Steven is nowhere to be found]
YYin
He's gone! Gone, gone, GONE!
[rushes back to the gems] It's not so bad once you get use to it! Why? 'Cause you like dogs, princesses, whores, and [in a bossy attitude] To eat my shorts!
Amethyst
See? He likes it.
He certainly won't brotherfuckin' like it when it hardens!
Uh, what? Uh, I'm gonna go wash. [begins to walk away]
He shouldn't have been so close in the first place. [Steven hardens in place near fridge]
Amethyst
How was I supposed to know they pop? [Steven struggles]
You're always putting us in danger with your little outbursts! [Amethyst ignoring her] Ugh, you are just... so childish!!
Amethyst
Yeah, yeah. Don't forget: reckless, vulgar, "loudmouthed". And that's just what makes me so AWESOME!! RIGHT, GARNET?!!
Amethyst... you are a Crystal Gem. You need to act like it. [Amethyst pauses for a long beat]
Amethyst
Fine. [walks through temple door into her room]
I think we really got through to her. [Garnet sighs; she walks to the front door with Pearl behind] Right, Garnet? [she closes door, Steven is still hardened]
[about to bubble desert glass] We should've done this in the first place.
Amethyst
In my defense, I forgot.
[to Lion] So I guess, this is goodbye. We had some good times, but I'm sure you have other magical stuff, to smash with other magical boys. [moving Lion's lips] "I love you Steven. I want to stay with you forever!" [gasp] Really? Guys you hear that?
Are we really going to let him keep that?
[laughs hysterically] Oh, oh ho ho, "kept Amethyst", oh Garnet, that's priceless!
Yay, Lion! [makes Lion wink] Wink!
