Blue Diamond quotes from Steven Universe

Yellow Diamond

We can only do so much, if it was the four of us.

Blue Diamond

Oh, no. We can't let her see this!

Steven

Who? Who do we need?!

Yellow Diamond

What do you mean, "who?" White.

Pearl

[shocked] White Diamond?

Amethyst

What?!

Pearl

Steven, White Diamond isn't like us. She isn't even like them. [gestures to Blue and Yellow Diamond] You have no idea what she's capable of.

Steven

Should I have brought a gift for White Diamond? We are dropping in unexpectedly, and… I want to make a good first impression. Her help will mean everything for the Corrupted Gems.

Pearl

Steven...

Yellow Diamond

Hmph. "Good impression"? We'll be lucky if she ever speaks to us again after this.

Steven

But...

Blue Diamond

The thing is, White... can be... difficult.

Yellow Diamond

When we show up in this ship, it will be irrefutable that the last 6,000 years are now the biggest galactic embarrassment that's ever happened. And we're the ones to blame. (to Steven) If you don't want to be in a bubble for the next few millennia, I suggest you let me do the talking.

Blue Diamond

You're here! Come in.

Steven

Okay! [runs and jumps into the pool, laughing] Whoo-hoo! (laughing) It's funny! I -- I live right next to the ocean, but I end up going to space to swim.

Blue Diamond

[laughs, causing the pool to shake a bit] You haven't changed. So silly. So small.

Steven

I'm not done growing. I'm not sure I can catch up to you and Yellow, though.

Blue Diamond

I'm so glad you're back... Steven.

Steven

Y-You actually said my name!

Blue Diamond

Steven. Steee-von? (chuckles) It's such a funny sounding name. You're so creative, Pink.

The Pebbles have been working all night. What do you think?

Steven

It almost feels like home.

Garnet

Almost.

Yellow Diamond

A ball? We haven't had a ball in 6,000 years.

Blue Diamond

We haven't had Pink in 6,000 years!

Steven

Yeah! When White Diamond shows up we can tell her why we need her help on Earth!

Blue Diamond

And, this can also mark the beginning of Era 3.

Yellow Diamond

You're right, it's brilliant.

Steven

Thank you, Yellow! Thank you, Blue!

Blue Diamond

If White is going to be there everything has to be perfect! Pink, can you manage this on your own? Our Pearls can help you get started.

At your service, Pink Diamond.

Yellow Diamond

Make sure you go through all of our customs with Pink, since she has so much trouble recalling her past here on Homeworld.

Yes, My Diamond.

Era 3! Steven, you're already changing the world!

Steven

Yeah! Come on, party Pearls!

We are at your command, Pink Diamond.

Steven

Just call me Steven.

Whatever you command, Pink Diamond.

Steven

Balloons everywhere! Confetti cannons too!

Amethyst

Dibs on being the confetti cannon!

Cannons are forbidden inside palace walls. These "balloons" you're referring to, are unprecedented and therefore out of the question.

Blue Diamond

The Sapphire will need to enter with the other Sapphires of course, and the Ruby will need to enter with the guard.

Steven

Woah, woah, woah. Are you talking about Garnet?

Blue Diamond

Garnet? Does "that" call herself a Garnet? What would you have her do? Enter with the Demantoids, the Hessonites, the Pyropes? Pink, I'm being very generous, but you can't expect me to-

Garnet

I won't go.

Steven

Garnet?

Blue Diamond

At least the Sapphire in there has some sense.

Everyone, behold! The daunting, beauty and elegance that is, Yellow Diamond!

Yellow Diamond

Not a bad turnout, Pink.

Steven

I appreciate your attendance, Yellow.

Ahem, everyone prepare yourselves emotionally for the overpowering elegance that is, Blue Diamond.

Blue Diamond

You're doing great.

Steven

Thank you, Blue.

To those in attendance of the Era 3 ball, White Diamond... has more important things to attend to.

Steven

WHAT?!

Therefore, I will be here to observe in her place. Welcome to Era 3.

Yellow Diamond

[through gritted teeth]] Pink, what are you doing?!

Stevonnie

I was just dancing! [sees they have accidentally fused and everybody else looks in shock]

Blue Diamond

Pink, this is completely unacceptable! Unfuse or I'll make you!

Garnet

You'll have to go through me!

Pearl

(gasp) And me! (Runs over to Amethyst and fuses into Opal)

Amethyst

Yeah!

And me! [Opal and Stevonnie look at Garnet, and she shrugs] I knew it! I knew I couldn't be the only one!

Stevonnie

Opal! Garnet!

Yellow Diamond

Pink, you've gone too far even for you. [picks up Stevonnie and throws them into a dark room] Stay in here and think about what you've done!

Stevonnie

No, wait!

Steven

[wakes up and looks up at the prison tower window] Oh, right. Prison.

Blue Diamond

[entering; sharply] I cannot believe you! Making a scene like that.

Steven

We weren't trying to make a scene! We were just... [turns to see that Connie is not present] dancing? Connie?

Blue Diamond

[entering the prison tower] I cannot believe you, making a scene like that!

Steven

[surprised] Whoa, déjà blue.

Connie

We didn't mean any harm! I asked Steven to dance, he wasn't trying to cause trouble!

Blue Diamond

What do you know about this, human?

Connie

[chuckles] You think I've never been grounded before?

Blue Diamond

"Grounded?"

Yellow Diamond

[sitting in her throne] What... are you doing?

Steven

I'm taking back my friends!

Yellow Diamond

[closes her eyes as she looks up from Steven to readdress Blue; annoyed] What are you doing, Blue? Take Pink back to the tower.

Blue Diamond

She prefers to be called "Steven."

Yellow Diamond

[slams her hand so forcefully against her throne that it cracks, stands up and assumes an angered stance] What are you talking about?! You can't keep bending the rules for her, Blue! She has to set an example, and we have to set an example! If we bend the rules for her, we have to bend them for everyone!

Connie

Well, maybe you should!

Yellow Diamond

Take them back to the tower, now!

Blue Diamond

I won't.

Yellow Diamond

Then I'll do it myself. [reaches down to pick up Steven and Connie, but Blue Diamond smacks her hand away; surprised in shock] Blue?!

Yellow Diamond

You'd hurt a fellow Diamond?!

Blue Diamond

Didn't we hurt Pink?! She was suffering in silence for ages -- just like our Gems -- just like me! And I know you're suffering in silence, too!

Steven

Stop! [pulls out his shield and chucks it towards Yellow Diamond's hand, disrupting her concentration] You don't have to do this!

Yellow Diamond

Yes, I do! This is what White Diamond expects of all of us. From a thin flake of mica to the deepest, hardest stone, we all must make sacrifices for the sake of our perfect empire!

Steven

Does this look perfect to you?! My dad says if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs.

Yellow Diamond

And that means... what?

Steven

It means if you try and make this empire perfect -- if you just wipe away everything you see as flawed -- you lose all the things that make you happy -- like hot dogs.

Blue Diamond

Or our Pink.

Yellow Diamond

Uhh... [falls to the ground on her knees in an uncharacteristic emotional breakdown] Stop. Stop it, Blue. Stop using your power on me...!

Blue Diamond

I'm not. [walks to Yellow Diamond and comforts her as she sobs]

Connie

Steven, come on, grab the Gems. Let's get out of here.

Steven

Right. I hope they're okay. Amethyst would usually be back by now.

Yellow Diamond

[wiping a tear from her eye; composed] They'll be out for a good while. They took a direct hit from me.

You've made a grave mistake. Go to your rooms!

Blue Diamond

Uh… Which rooms should we go to?

Yellow Diamond

Blue, don't make her any angrier than she already is!

Steven

Hey, White, I know I was in there with you for a second, but I barely got to talk to you at all. There are so many Gems that are hurting right now. Even Blue and Yellow are hurting. You should hear what they have to say. [to Blue and Yellow; whispers] This is it.

Yellow Diamond

[struggling] We… W-we… We need to talk! About us. I've conquered so many worlds for the sake of the empire. I do everything you ask, and I do it all perfectly. But your very high standards put us all under a lot of pressure. A Gem could crack under so much pressure. We Diamonds may be hard, but we're also brittle.

Blue Diamond

[steps forward] White, we used to be close. Don't you remember? When Pink would make us laugh -- all those silly things she did for no reason. There was a reason. She wanted us to be happy together. But we weren't, and we're still not. I know my purpose isn't to be happy, but I find it harder and harder to enforce your rules when they make me miserable. When they make us all miserable.
