You might not believe it
You might not believe it
But you got a lot in common, you really do
You both love me and I love both of you.

Look, if I were you, I'd hate me too.
I don't hate you.
But... I knew how you felt about Rose and I stayed anyway.
That wasn't the problem.
Then, what was?
She fell in love with you.
Well, you know Rose.
BBoth
[chuckling in tears] She always did what she wanted!
I know you both need it, I know you both need it
Someone who knows what you're going through
You might not believe it, you might not believe it
But you got a lot in common, you really do.
[Steven, Amethyst and Peridot are too short to ride the Appalachian ride; Peridot's hair makes her look taller, but Harold Smiley pushes it down, making her throw a tantrum and wave her fists]
HHarold
[laughs] Sorry, guys. Looks like this squad has some growing to do before you can ride.
I do not have to grow! This height is indicative of my rarity and importance! I demand entry, you CLOD!
HHarold
[clears throat] You kids want another lifetime ban?
[nervously pulls Peridot away] No thanks, Mr. Smiley!
Shorty Squad out.
[after failing to shapeshift herself] Uh, I... I must be a little rusty. Why don't you two just go?
Aw, what?
What?
You sure?
Sure I'm sure. I can just look up what a roller coaster feels like. Just hurry up and go so you can hurry up and come back.
Oh, okay.
Hey, Lars? why didn't you want to hang out with Sadie?
I see her at work. Why do I need to see her on my day off?
But aren't you gonna get married, and have kids, and name one of them after his uncle Steven?
Oh, let me think…No. Me and Sadie aren't getting married. We aren't even dating. And if she thinks we are, that's her problem.
You're lying! I know how you feel about Sadie!
You don't know what you're talking about, [squats down to Steven's height] so butt out! [walks off] Go annoy someone else. You little weirdo.
Why can't you just admit you love her?!
LLars (Steven)
[bolts awake and looks around his room] Wait a minute! This isn't the temple. [looks at himself] This isn't my voice. [gets up in shock and notices himself in the mirror] I'm Lars? [whimpers and covers his eyes, seeing himself in the nude] I'm naked! I must've jumped into Lars' mind. I guess while I'm in here, I'd better do my best to respect Lars' body... And his privacy. [dresses himself up and heads downstairs into the kitchen, finding his parents, Martha and Dante, talking]
MMartha
No. We can do this, Dante. We have to talk to him.
LLars (Steven)
Hi, there.
[Martha and Dante turn around and notice him]
DDante
Oh, there's our boy. How are you feeling?
LLars (Steven)
[sits down at the table] Uh…taller?
MMartha
[places breakfast in front of him] Here you go. Oh, it's good to see you this morning, Laramie.
LLars (Steven)
[smiling] Who's Laramie?
MMartha
I mean…Lars. [sits down next to her husband at the table]
DDante
Now, Lars, we know school is a touchy subject, but we need to talk about this. [shows him his grade report]
LLars (Steven)
[literally reading] "F-F-F-F-F-F-B-D-F." That doesn't spell anything.
MMartha
Please, Lars. We let you move into the attic, and your grades are still below average. All we're asking from you is…
DMDante & Martha
A little effort!
LLars (Steven)
Wow. You guys seem so nice. I'm sure I don't want to let either of you down. I, Lars, promise to go out and do my very best at being your son. [gets up and leaves]
DDante
Wow! He didn't even swear.
MMartha
And he's wearing the plugs I got him.
Oh. [looks away, awkwardly] Hey, Lars.
LLars (Steven)
Hi, Jenny.
Ugh. Dad made me work this morning. Now I stink like pizza and fish.
LLars (Steven)
You don't stink.
[surprised by his attitude] Lars?! What a nice thing to say!
LLars (Steven)
I can say way nicer stuff. Like you're really cool and pretty and fun to be around.
[slowly getting up] Mmm… Huh? Sadie? [gasps in shock as he notices everyone looking at him] How did I get here?! [stands up, panicking] What are you all doing here?!
Lars, don't get mad.
Huh?!
But Steven really didn't mean to…
[furiously turns to Steven] You! What did you do?!
[Jenny, Sour Cream, and Buck rush in front of him, defending Steven]
[nervously] I spent the day…with my mind…in your body.
[Lars gasps in shock and screams in disgust]
Whoa. Where's your chill?
Buck is no longer pleased.
MMartha
I'm so sorry. He wasn't like this this morning.
I was acting weird all day and you all just LIKED IT?!
DDante
Please don't make a scene, Laramie.
[Steven and Connie lie down on a car hood by the "It's a Wash" car wash at night; Steven grumpily sighs]
Still mad about Kevin?
Yes.
Me too. [Steven sits up]
You don't seem mad.
[sits up] I'm thinking mad. I still feel like there's something big I want to say to him, you know? Something to make him think, like we're thinking.
Yeah. Too bad we can't just... race against him—to use the first place ribbon to wipe that smug look off his face!
But we're kids. Kids can't drive. That's against the law.
We weren't kids when we met Kevin.
[smirking] I smell what you're steppin' in.
Ew.
Feel like giving up yet?
Ugh! Why do you have to be such a jerk all the time?!
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... I had no idea.
[Kevin starts sniffling with his hand still on his face; he slowly starts laughing idiotically]
Dude! I don't even have a brother! I'm like this because I think it's funny!
URRRGH!!
No! We have to beat him. He deserves to lose!
[amid the dark clouds, Steven sees Lapis on the stem of the boat staring at the ocean]
Lapis? Um... I have some not-so-good news. There's trouble with the engine, and we might be stuck out here for a while. [Lapis sighs. He pauses] I'm so sorry! This whole thing is my fault. I just wanted you to have fun, but e-everything's a mess. I-I shouldn't have made you come on this trip. [Lapis then walks to the right]
It's my fault. I'm the one to blame.
That's not true!
I'm really trying to enjoy it out here, but... I can't stop thinking about being fused as Malachite. How I used all my strength to hold her down in the ocean, and how I was always battling against Jasper to keep her bound to me.
But it's not like that anymore. You don't have to be with Jasper.
That's not it. I... I miss her.
[shocked] What?!
We were fused for so long.
But... she's terrible!
I'm terrible! I did horrible things! I-I broke your dad's leg, I stole Earth's ocean! Go on! Tell me I'm wrong!
[holds Lapis' hand and falls to her knees; begging] Let's be Malachite again.
[Greg, Rose Quartz and baby Sour Cream lie down on the beach under a parasol]
You wouldn't believe how long it took me to figure out that this and you are the same thing.
[beat] What do you mean?
You're both human! You have to admit, it's a little confusing. You're big and can talk, and he's small and can only make noises. How was I supposed to know you were the same species?
[chuckles nervously] What?
I know, it's silly. But then I started to notice that... you grow.
Well, can't play guitar with little baby hands.
[Rose giggles and then pauses for a moment]
When a gem is made, it's for a reason. They burst out of the ground already knowing what they're supposed to be, and then... that's what they are. Forever. But you, you're supposed to change. You're never the same, even moment to moment—you're allowed and expected to invent who you are. What an incredible power... the ability to grow up.
[pause] Wow. Those would make some pretty good lyrics. Hold on! Watch Sour Cream a second. [runs off] I gotta write this down!
