All right. What we have here in the barn should be adequate enough for us to get started. First, I recommend we organize the component types, and assemble a rough blueprint based off what we have available. Sorry, Steven. It's a lovely drawing, but it won't look like this. [Steven stops spinning on the swivel chair, now frowning]
[examines piece of chalk] Hmm... Good. Yes, this is adequate. Thank you. You can go now.
..Uh, what?
Hm? [beat] Umm, that will be all? [claps to her for a beat, whispers to Steven] How do you get her to leave?
Excuse me, I am not leaving.
Yeah! She's gotta stay here to help us build the drill thing, right?
[laughs] No, no, you're confused. A Pearl can't build a thing like this.
Why not?
Because Pearls aren't for this! They're... for standing around, an-and looking nice, and uh... holding your stuff for you. Right?
That's enough! If we're going to work together, you're going to have to listen to me.
Listen to you? [starts laughing, turns to Steven] Did you teach her to talk like this?
What are you talking about?
She's a Pearl. She's a made-to-order servant just like the hundreds of other Pearls being flaunted around back on Homeworld.
Wait... There's hundreds of Pearls?!
[nervous] Well... yes, but—
[holding Pearl's sash] And she looks like a fancy one, too. [Pearl gasps]
Hundreds of Pearls...
So, who do you belong to anyway?
[grabs her sash away from her] Nobody!!
Then... what are you for? [Pearl recoils back] Well, you can belong to me for now. Ha! A Peridot with a Pearl? What would they say back home?
Now listen here, you tiny twerp! In case you've forgotten, you're on our turf now! And I didn't fight a thousand-year war for this planet's independence to take orders from the likes of you!!
Excuse me? I am a natural technician and a certified Kindergartener. I was made for this! You were made to take orders, not to give them!
Whoa, whoa, hang on, guys! Now, we can all agree that you are both good at building things, so... can't you just try listening to each other?
NO!
I'm as good at building things as you! Better, even!
Ha! Name one thing you could engineer better. Go on!
[whispers] Robots.
Hm?
You should build robots. Giant robots! I see a race. A giant robo-race... with prizes. Giant robo-prizes!
You mean like a competition?
Yeah! To see who's better at building stuff!
What are these robots you speak of?
They're like those funky marble guys you were sending—only bigger, and you can ride them! [makes robot noises]
Hah! Building one of these robots will be easy!
Well, I can build one faster!
That's what you think!
