Connie, Peridot and others in “Unfinished Business”

Connie

[narrating] The wash was a wash. And so were the New Crystal Gems.

Peridot

I've been doing a lot of thinking about what's been going wrong with this team-up, and I think it's obvious now that the problem is ALL OF YOU! Connie, you completely lacked Steven's sentimentality. He would have had a much more inspiring speech yesterday. Lapis, your lack of humour has been hurting our morale. Maybe you should switch with Pumpkin.

Lapis

Let's make Pumpkin the Garnet. You should be the Pearl.

Peridot

I'm nothing like Pearl! She's so uptight and sensitive! [melodramatic] How dare you?! I'm leaving!

Lapis

[sarcastic] That's so funny, you should be Amethyst.

Peridot

That's so dumb, you should be a clod!

Lapis

Oh, so now I'm a clod? I think you're the clod.

Peridot

Wow, your Peridot impression is lousy too!

Connie

WILL YOU TWO CAN IT?!

Lapis

[stunned] That's not a very "Steven" thing to say.

Connie

I don't care! So I'm not Steven! Maybe he's really great at helping people work out these arguments! Maybe he's really patient and caring, even though it must be hard for him having to be the adult for a bunch of superpowered children!

Lapis

We're both thousands of years older than you.

Connie

Then act like it! Be the Gems you've been for thousands of years instead of playing this silly game. It's impossible trying to solve problems if we're just trying to copy other people! Oh, what's the point of this? We'll never be the Crystal Gems, we're just the Crystal... Temps. But we have our own way of doing things. So let's go back to that, to fix this mess we made.

Lapis

[amazed] You do make a good Steven.

Connie

Watch it!
