[via communications] "Hey, can you hear me?! Where do you two think you're going?!"
Hey, Dad! Guess where I am!
I know where you are—it's where you're going that concerns me!
Don't worry, Dad! This is just a quick test flight.
This'll be perfectly fine, just a pop over to the nearest star system. I'll give him back in 50 years.
50 years?!
"WHAT!?! I'll be dead in 50 years!! Pearl, you bring him back right now or I'll—" [Pearl cuts him off] Hello?! Hello!?!
Pearl, I'm not supposed to go! Pearl!!
Oh, this is so exciting! Steven, you're gonna love it. [plays keyboard keys to a discordant note, opening the ship's wings with eight engines] Hang on tight!
[the spaceship blasts through the clouds and up into the stratosphere. For a moment, Steven looks and sees a piece of debris flying past him]
What was that? [the ship's alarm blares loudly as more parts of the ship fly away] Pearl?!
We can make it! We're almost there! [the ship is starting to break apart]
Pearl!!
I'm gonna show it to you...
[Steven hesitates for a beat. He sees a hatch release cord and pulls it, shooting out the ship's glass dome]
Steven! What are you doing?!
We need to go, Pearl! We're not gonna make it!
But we're almost there! [sees a cluster of stars before Steven comes to her face to face]
Pearl! I know you miss space, and I know you worked hard! But sometimes... you just got to know when to bail.
