[Stevonnie runs away from the dance floor, leans against a wall to catch their breath]
I don't understand what's wrong. You have fun dancing, but this dance isn't fun! You're supposed to like this. Why don't you like this? [sighs, stands up] I wish you were here. If we were together, it would be okay. But... we are together, and it's not. I'm alone. [Kevin's hand leans on the wall next to Stevonnie's side]
KevinNot tonight. [pan left to him smirking] Hey, baby. Why'd you leave me on the dance floor?
I don't... [pushes Kevin's hand away] I don't want to dance anymore.
Kevin
What are you talking about? We're the best thing that's ever happened to this place. Come back out with me.
Kevin
Because we're angels walking among garbage people. We're perfect for each other.
How can you say that?! You don't even know us!
Kevin
Oh, whoa. I'm just looking for a dance! Don't get crazy.
No one is crazy, I just don't like feeling alone here!
Kevin
If you're so lonely, then dance with me.
Ugh! [growls] Fine. You wanna dance? Let's go.
[Stevonnie grabs Kevin's arm and drags him onto the dance floor. Stevonnie turns around and looks down their nose at Kevin]
And it's Stevonnie; I am not your baby.
Kevin
Feel like giving up yet?
Ugh! Why do you have to be such a jerk all the time?!
Kevin
The truth is, I don't mean to be this way. I-I just lash out because of my little brother. [inhales sharply, sighs] He's sick. Been sick all our lives. Sometimes I think if I act real cool and never let anyone see my pain, then maybe the pain will go away. And maybe... [covers face with his hand] I can take his pain away, too.
[Kevin starts sniffling with his hand still on his face; he slowly starts laughing idiotically]
Kevin
Dude! I don't even have a brother! I'm like this because I think it's funny!
[walks toward Connie] OK. Be cool. Be cool, yeah. Be cool. [reaches to Connie] Hey!
[coughs] Nice weather you're wearing.
Oh, yeah. I forgot about those, because l've been living.
Well, back to my great life. Uh, [turns away from Connie nervously] chowzers. [runs back to Kevin; whimpering in worry] That was terrible! This is all wrong, Kevin!
Kevin
No way. Look, little man. Your girl's making her way back for more.
[runs back to Steven; upset] Steven! What is going on?! I came here hoping we could talk, but it seems like you only want to talk to Kevin! I guess Kevin is your best friend now!
SKSteven & Kevin
[in unison] What? No, no, no.
[sighs] Anyway, l'm glad you're doing well. That's... all l really wanted to know. [walks away remorsefully]
No, no! But - but you're my best friend!
Kevin
Best friend? What are you kids even talking about? I thought she was your ex! Great. Now what am l gonna do? Think, Kevin. How do people treat their friends?
[runs after Connie, who was about to hop on Lion's back] Connie! Wait, wait, Connie. Don't go.
Steven, l wasn't trying to ignore you. I was going to text you back. I - l wrote, "I can't talk to you right now." But then l realized if l sent it, that would be talking to you. And it didn't make any sense - l wasn't making any sense. If we were going to talk, l thought it's got to be in person. So l rode Lion to your house, but there was note that said, "Gone vacationing." And then l ran into Kevin and he said you'd be here, but, uhh... maybe this is still too soon. I - l don't even know what to say to you. I'm... angry? I miss you? I feel like l'm out of my mind.
No, you're not. I surrendered myself to Homeworld. I let them take me away, maybe forever, and then l came back and l tried to act like it was no big deal, but it was a big deal. I couldn't stand the thought of you being taken away on that spaceship, but... then l did that to you. I promised you we'd always be a team, and... l let you down. [tears up] I'm sorry. Jam buds?
[tears up] Jam buds. [she and Steven share an embrace] It's so good to talk to you. I've been wantint to see you so bad I accepted a party invitation from Kevin.
[chuckles, takes off the clothes Kevin gave him] I know, l took his advice. [laughs] I think he got his heart broken. I - It's actually really sad.
[chuckles] Of couese he did. [chuckles] Hey, nice shirt.
