Dialogue
|
| The episode begins with Steven and Greg being held captive by a Homeworld Amethyst. They are dropped onto the ground in a room full of other Quartz guards.
|
| HW Amethyst 1
|
These the ones?
|
| The Quartz guards fill the room with intimidating laughter.
|
| Amethyst
|
Steven! Greg! [Grunting] They found me out!
|
| Steven
|
Amethyst!
|
| Amethyst
|
You won't believe what I've been through. These Amethysts, they're really, really... great!
|
| Steven
|
What?!
|
| The Quartz guards laugh, and it is revealed to have been a trick.
|
| HW Amethyst 1
|
[Laughing] Your faces.
|
| HW Amethyst 2
|
You were right! That was priceless!
|
| Amethyst
|
[Runs over and hugs Steven] I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I had to! [Chuckles] What are you wearing? Greg! This is a good look for you.
|
| Steven
|
What is going on?
|
| Amethyst
|
These Amethysts, they're all from Earth! They're from the Prime Kindergarten! Wait! Hey, 8XL!
|
| 8XL
|
Yeah?
|
| Amethyst
|
You guys, I'm an 8! Tell 'em. Tell 'em!
|
| 8XL
|
The Amethyst under me never popped out. We're all waiting, and -- pfft -- nothing.
|
| Amethyst
|
I'm 8XM! Facet-5, Cut-8XM -- that's me! This is 8XG, this is 8XH.
|
| 8XJ
|
I'm J.
|
| Amethyst
|
Ah, geez! Sorry! I'm worse than Holly Blue!
|
| 8XJ
|
Aren't we all?
|
| [Laughter]
|
| Skinny
|
Prime, prime, prime. You Amethysts are so cliquey.
|
| Amethyst
|
Skinny's a Jasper! There are Gems here from the Beta Kindergarten, too! Hey, where's Carnelian?
|
| Skinny
|
Celebrating.
|
| Carnelian
|
I'm not the shortest anymore!
|
| [Carnelian picks up Amethyst, running around the room while they both laugh.]
|
| Greg
|
This is unreal.
|
| Steven
|
Hey! Please, if you don't mind me asking, we really need your help. We came in with Sapphire, Ruby, and Pearl. We've gotta find them and get them out of --
|
| The door behind Steven opens.
|
| Holly Blue
|
I'll only be a moment. What are you all doing in here?! Get to your stations! Even you hideous off-color Betas! Get out of your cubbies and into your places! It's the least you can do for the Diamond that kept you worthless, sorry Gems in service! That's right. Blue is back already! Now go pretend your filthy vein of Quartz is capable of gratitude! Go, go, go!
|
| The Quartz guards run out with Steven and Greg sneaking behind their backs.
|
| Holly Blue
|
Disperse! My Diamond is waiting!
|
| Amethyst
|
Run! Just run! I'll find you! Go!
|
| Steven and Greg enter Pink Diamond's throne room.
|
| Steven
|
Who bubbled all these Gems?
|
| Greg
|
Wow! It's kind of like a birthday party in here.
|
| Steven begins to tear up.
|
| Steven
|
[Gasps] Oh, no! We gotta hide!
|
| Greg
|
Huh?
|
| Blue Diamond enters the room.
|
| Blue Diamond
|
Pearl, close the door. [Sighs]
|
| Blue Diamond removes her hood and begins to tear up. The door opens as Yellow Diamond enters.
|
| Yellow Diamond
|
Please tell me you're joking. You only just left, and you're already back?
|
| Blue Diamond
|
Yellow! W-what are you doing here?
|
| Yellow Diamond
|
I'm here to bring you back to reality, Blue.
|
| Blue Diamond
|
I'm fine. Just leave me alone.
|
| Yellow Diamond
|
It's been thousands of years, Blue, and you still can't bring yourself to destroy these Gems? She was shattered by a Rose Quartz! The entire cut of Gem deserves the same fate!
|
| Blue Diamond
|
But they were hers.
|
| Yellow Diamond
|
They should be wiped out of existence, not kept safe in bubbles!
|
| Blue Diamond
|
Yellow, she made them. This is all we have left of her. These Gems, this place, and the Earth.
|
| Yellow Diamond
|
I thought we agreed we need to put that planet and this whole debacle behind us.
|
| Blue Diamond
|
Why can't you just let me grieve?
|
| Yellow Diamond
|
You can't keep coming here forever!
|
| Blue Diamond
|
Why not?
|
| Yellow Diamond
|
[Sighs] Pearl, do something. Sing for her. Make her feel better.
|
| Yellow Pearl
|
Yes, my Diamond. Ahem.[turns to Blue Pearl] Ahem!
|
| Blue Pearl
|
Uh... oh.
|
| (Blue Pearl and Yellow Pearl begin to harmonize as "What's the Use of Feeling (Blue)?" plays. Greg and Steven sneak and hide behind a column.)

| Pearls

|
| The music ends. Steven and Greg have made it near the exit, but the door opens. Agate, Ruby, and Sapphire walk through.
|
| Holly Blue
|
And we have arrived. That will be all, Pearl. (Pearl walks away and they get closer. Holly bows.) My Diamond. My gracious, wondrous, luminous, lustrous Diamond (looks up, seeing Yellow Diamond)... sss? [Gasps] Oh, my! It's truly an honor to bask in your radiance... ses?
|
| Yellow Diamond
|
Get to the point, Agate.
|
| Holly Blue
|
[Clears throat] Yes, of course. My deepest apologies. You'll be pleased to know that your Sapphire has completed your special delivery.
|
| Blue Diamond
|
(Turns) What special delivery?
|
| Holly Blue
|
Um, the special delivery you requested from Earth, of course.
|
| Blue Diamond
|
(Serious tone) I never asked any Sapphire to go to Earth.
|
| Sapphire
|
I... Um...(The floor below her begins to freeze up)
|
| Steven
|
Oh, no! She's freezing up!
|
| Ruby holds Sapphire's hand behind her for comfort.
|
| Sapphire
|
My... future vision foresaw you, my Diamond, desiring more... humans for the zoo, so I... acted accordingly.
|
| Blue Diamond
|
(Looks down)... It's true. The window for preserving Earth specimens is closing.
|
| Steven
|
Phew.
|
| Yellow Diamond
|
(To Blue Diamond) Is that what you want? (To Sapphire) Sapphire, has the Cluster emerged yet?
|
| Sapphire
|
No, it has not.
|
| Yellow Diamond
|
Then there's still time. That will be all.(Claps twice)
|
| Holly Blue
|
(Bows) My Diamonds.
|
| Steven and Greg escape the room with an unknowing Agate relieved that all went well.
|
| Holly Blue
|
Two Diamonds?! I can't believe it! Can you believe it? Oh, well, of course, you can. You probably foresaw the whole thing.
|
| Sapphire
|
Of course! No surprises here.
|
| Holly Blue
|
I never expected to see Yellow Diamond in person. What a commanding presence. You can just feel strength and confidence radiating from her. Don't misunderstand me, of course. I'll always be in Blue's confidence, but if I had been made for Yellow, you wouldn't see me complaining. I do hope they appreciate all my hard work to preserve the Pink Diamond legacy. It would really make it worth being stationed here with these sorry excuses for Gems. Oh! It's a shame though. This outpost is so remote, I was beginning to think we'd been forgotten. But we haven't! Two Diamonds -- one day! What an honor. I don't think anything could spoil this for me.
|
| Holly Blue notices Steven and Greg, who laugh nervously.
|
| Holly Blue
|
What... is... the meaning of this?! (The Quartz guards appear in the doorway) Why are these two outside the containment area?!
|
| Sapphire
|
Holly Blue, I can explain.
|
| Holly Blue
|
No need, your clarity. Not even you could have foreseen how incompetent these Amethysts are. (Summons a blue, electric whip) Well, if you want something done right, you just do it yourself. You two are coming with me! (Launches the whip at Steven and Greg)
|
| Ruby and Sapphire fuse into Garnet, who catches the whip's tail.
|
| Holly Blue
|
[Gasps]
|
| Quartz guards
|
[Gasps]
|
| Steven and Greg
|
Garnet!
|
| Garnet
|
Steven, get Greg on board!
|
| Greg
|
Yes, please!
|
| Garnet
|
We'll handle this noise.
|
| Pearl slices the whip in half, and Amethyst spin dashes to wrap it around Holly Blue, being cheered on afterward by the Quartz guards.
|
| Garnet
|
I've been waiting to do this all day.
|
| Garnet threatens Holly Blue with her gauntlet, but punches her in the stomach with her normal hand instead. The Quartz Gems laugh.
|
| Holly Blue
|
What are you doing?! They're traitors! Destroy them!
|
| Quartz guards
|
[All say their goodbyes]
|
| Amethyst
|
[Smooches] "Famethyst" for life!
|
| Holly Blue
|
I'll report you to the Diamonds! All of you! You'll all be shattered!
|
| Pearl
|
You're really gonna tell the Diamonds that you allowed a band of traitorous rebels to infiltrate a highly secure facility and escape from right under your careful watch? [Inhales sharply] Doesn't sound like a wise thing to do, Holly Blue. So do yourself a favor and keep your mouth shut. That will be all. (Bows and Steven claps twice)
|
| Holly Blue groans in misery while the Quartz Gems continue to laugh at her. The Crystal Gems fly off back toward Earth in the Roaming Eye.
|
| Greg
|
Thanks so much for coming to get me. That has to be, like, the third craziest weekend I've ever had.
|
| Steven
|
Dad, I'm really sorry I got you into all this. This whole thing started 'cause I wanted answers.
|
| Greg
|
You don't have to be sorry about a thing. I hope you found what you were looking for.
|
| Steven
|
I did. I found you.
|
| The episode ends with the Roaming Eye warping away.
