[through screen] Garnet… I'm sorry!
Wait a sec!
Things weren't supposed to turn out this way... [inside, Garnet punches the wall again]
We'll get outta here somehow.
[sighs] That's not what I mean! I really wanted to catch Peridot to make up for what I did... [Garnet withdraws her gauntlets] I wanted to prove to you that... that everything could go back to normal...
Catching Peridot won't make things go back to normal. [through screen] This isn't about Peridot.
Hey... they're actually talking!
Now they can finally work things out!
[soon, the gears start to activate and turn and start closing into the trapped two]
Not if they get crushed!
[both Garnet and Pearl push their unflinching sides]
Please! Tell me! How can I make you forgive me?!
You can't! You lied to me! You need to learn that there are consequences to your actions!
I'm sorry! I... I couldn't help myself!
[kicks opposite side of wall next to Pearl] I don't want to hear your excuses!
But it's true! No matter how hard I try to be strong like you, I'm just a Pearl. I'm useless on my own. [cries] I need someone to tell me what to do.
[the walls suddenly stop moving; Both Amethyst and Steven pull her whip on its gears in its place. Garnet and Pearl pause for a beat]
When we fuse, I can feel what it's like to be you. Confident and secure, and complete. You're perfect. You're the perfect relationship. You're always together, I just... I wanted to be a part of that.
You're wrong! I'm not as strong as you think. I fell apart over this. Ruby and Sapphire were in turmoil over how you deceived me. [through screen] I came undone.
Whoa, that really happened?
[nods] Hm.
It's not easy being in control. I have weaknesses too, but I choose not to let them consume me. I struggle to stay strong because I know the impact I have on everyone. Please understand, Pearl. [through screen] You have an impact too. [inside] There are times when I look up to you for strength. You are your own gem. You control your destiny. Not me, not Rose, not Steven. But you must choose to be strong, so we can move forward. So I can trust you again.
I understand. I can't give up anymore!
Good.
