Jamie quotes from Steven Universe

Steven

Jamie!

Jamie

Oh, hey, Connie and Steven. You guys come out here to stare at the ocean and think about life too?

Connie

Uhh, no...? We came to, uh—

Jamie

Yeah, life is crazy. One day, you're right here in Beach City delivering mail and then the next thing you know... you're on a bus to Kansas, following your dreams of becoming an actor. "Follow your dreams," they said. But no one said anything about all the rejection and sadness there was to be found. So many auditions day after day... So much rejection day after day... That's why I came back. [two seagulls crash into each other and fall into the sea] One more rejection would have destroyed my fragile heart. [sobs, chuckles] Sorry... sometimes I get caught up in the drama zone, you know?

Steven

Yeah, right... Drama zone.

Connie

Oh, by the way, we have something for yo—

Steven

No, we don't!

Garnet

I didn't mean to upset you.

Jamie

Then will you go out with me?

Garnet

No!

Jamie

But I've loved you since the moment I saw you.

Garnet

Love at first sight doesn't exist. Love takes time and love takes work. At the very least, you have to know the other person. And you literally have no idea who or what I am. [shades glimmer]

Jamie

But I bloom for you like— like a... camellia... under moonlight?

Garnet

No, you don't! [long beat] You make a very convincing lovesick fool. You convinced these children. [adjusts her shades] You even convinced yourself. [smiling] You're a fantastic actor.

Jamie

[beat] ..What am I supposed to do now?

Garnet

Start with local theater. [slaps Jamie's back, then walks away. Connie and Steven walk closer to him]

Connie

Are you okay?

Jamie

Yeah. That was some pretty solid advice.

Steven

Were those more letters you wrote to Garnet?

Jamie

No. That was the mail I was supposed to deliver on my last route.

Steven

[beat] We'll help you pick it all up.

Jamie

Thanks.

Aquamarine

Ugh. If I ever get sent on another mission to Earth again, it'll be too soon. [sits in pilot's chair] What an ordeal. But the Diamonds needed me. That's the burden of being the best.

Jamie

WHAT JUSTICE IS IN THERE IN SUCH A GROSS TANGLING OF SYMBOLS?!

Aquamarine

Will you stop?! You're ruining my moment!
