White Diamond quotes from Steven Universe

White Diamond

Agh! Don't you raise your shield at me! I only want you to be yourself! If you can't do that, I'll do it FOR YOU!!!

Steven

White Diamond.

White Diamond

Oh, starlight, what are you doing crawling in here?

Steven

You're wrong! I'm not my mom!

White Diamond

But don't you know things about her that you couldn't possibly know?

Steven

I-I've just been connecting with her. My powers, they-they help me to connect to others. I'm not her. I'm just feeling her feelings.

White Diamond

Isn't it obvious? Even though you've embedded yourself in that human child, your light can't help shining through!

White Diamond

What is this?! Where is Pink?

She's gone.

White Diamond

What did you say? Answer me!

[shouting] She's GO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-NE!!!!!!

Connie

Steven! [rushes to Steven and hugs him] Are you back together? Are you you?

Steven

Yeah. Yeah! I’m me! I’ve always been me.

White Diamond

NO! You are Pink Diamond! That is Pink Diamond's gem! You do not look like this! You do not sound like this! You are not half-human! You're just... acting like a child!

Steven

I am a child. What's your excuse?

White Diamond

[starts blushing, and notices the Gems under her control doing the same] What's happening? What is this? What's wrong with them? They're turning... pink! I don't understand, I'm in control, I-- [gasps] Something's wrong! With ME! No! [releases all the Gems (including Pink Pearl) from her control]

Guys!

Garnet

Steven…

Pearl

Are you okay?

Amethyst

[sitting up; groaning] What happened?

Connie

I think Steven got through to her.

[rubbing her cracked eye] Wh-What happened? Where am I?

Steven

[places his hand on her shoulder] Welcome back.

White Diamond

What is this? I feel... ridiculous. Yellow, Blue...

Yellow Diamond

[gasps] She's off-color...

White Diamond

This can't be happening. I can't have a flaw, I'm supposed to be flawless! If I'm not perfect then... who am I? If you're not Pink, then... who are you? Who is anyone?

Steven

You know, if you just let everyone be whoever they are, maybe you could let yourself be whoever you are too.

White Diamond

But I'm not supposed to be like this! I'm supposed to know better, I'm supposed to be better, I'm supposed to make everything better!

Steven

You can. But first, you're gonna have to leave your own head.
