Lion 2: The Movie/Transcript

[Open Int. Steven's House]

(Connie is showing Steven the trailer for Dogcopter 3 on her phone)

Narrator: Some people say...*scenes of city on fire flash across the screen* you can't teach...*people fighting in helicopters against evil robots* an old dog...* a robotic dog looks up* new tricks...*the helicopters are blown up* unless you're... *a girl looks at the robot dog and the dog sprouts propellors* Dogcopter 3, in 3D! *the dog flies towards the robot and shoots a missile from its butt that destroys the robot and Connie's phone is now shown* This February, the fur hits the fan.

Steven: Woaahhh. I can see why this is your favorite film franchise.

Connie: That's right. In a world where humanity is pushed to the brink, it turns out that the one who is most human is a dog! Copter.

Steven: And did you see where that missile came out of?

Connie: *blushes* Yeah. I just hope it stays faithful to the book.*blue light glows from the warp pad* Whaaoo.

Steven: The gems are back. *the gems appear in their pilot poses*

Garnet: Greetings.

Pearl: *opens her eyes* Oh! Well, hello, Connie! What a surprise to see you!

Steven: We're gonna watch a movie about a wacky, flying dog! Show 'em Connie!

Connie: I mean, it's about much more than that. *holds up phone to the gems*

Amethyst: Oh, that's easy. *shapeshifts into dogcopter*

Connie: Whaaaaa?

Amethyst: Who needs to go see movies when you've got ♪maagicc♪! *Amethyst turns her head into a radio and plays up-beat tempo music, Garnet nods her head to the beat, and Pearl looks annoyed at Amethyst's showing off*

Steven: Oh, stop showin' off Amethyst. Connie promises that this movie's even better than any magic.

Connie: I did not say that.

Steven: And check this out! *walks to counter full of snacks* We got our own snacks.

Connie: *explaining to Garnet and Pearl* My parents say I'm not allowed to buy snacks at the theater, So, we're not buying anything at the theater. *Amethyst makes her head normal*

Amethyst: Nom Noms! Feed me!

Steven: Hands off, Amethyst! These are for me and Connie to share at the movie!

Connie: Speaking of which, how are we getting to the theater? It's kinda far. *Steven stuffs the snacks in his Cheeseburger backpack*

Steven: Don't worry, I've got it covered. Today, we're gonna travel in style!

(Scene changes to Connie and Steven standing on the beach, Steven in gesturing to something off screen and Connie appears to be surprised.)

Steven: Introducing the finest in luxury transportation... Lion!

(Screen pans to include Lion in the shot)

Lion: *Yawns and lays down.*

Steven: Aw, you little goofball *Walks over to Lion and presses his face into his mane*

Connie: You have a pet lion?!

Steven: *Lifts his face out of Lion's mane* Lion is sort of like a pet. He does his own thing most of the time, though.

Lion: *Chomping on something* *The shot switches to a half-eaten animal by Lion's paws*

Steven: See? Who knows where he got that?

Connie: Wow, Steven. Everything in your life is so awesome and magical. *Connie picks up a stick* The most exciting thing in my life is tennis practice. *She gets into a stance and swings the stick from her left to her right* Forehand! *She swings the stick from her right and back to her left* Backhand! *She brings the stick to the center of her body, bringing it up and then slamming it down* Overhead death strike!

Steven: Woah! Tennis is rad!

Connie: *Picks up the stick again* Well, I made up that last one.

Lion: *Snarls*

Steven: I think Lion says we should hurry up and go. Or maybe he was just yawning. *Steven and Connie blink and stare at eachother for a few seconds. Steven throws his arms up into the air* Anyways, let's go to the movie!

(Steven and Connie sit on Lion's back, Steven is in the front and Connie is behind him.)

Steven: *Gasps* And we're off!

(Screen zooms out to show Lion standing there and not moving with an expectant looking Steven and Connie.)

Steven: Uhh... Lion, I want you to take us to the movie. *Steven waits a few seconds and Lion is still not moving.* Okay, you're not listening to me. *Steven looks at Connie and chuckles nervously* Lion isn't trained very well. But I'm not trained very well either, so we're a---

Lion: *His eyes widen and he roars, rearing up on his hindlegs and charging forward*

Steven and Connie: Woah! *Both start to laugh*

Lion: *Starts running forward, then changes direction and starts to run towards the ocean*

Steven and Connie: Woah!

Steven: Wait, Lion! Don't go in the ocean! *Steven and Connie scream*

Lion: *Lion jumps into the air and lands in the ocean, standing upright as if he were still on land and not sinking*

Steven: *Both Steven and Connie look down at the water* You can walk on water? *Connie looks up, and Steven looks at Lion, slightly angry* Why don't you tell me you can do these things you do?!

Lion: *Starts running again, this time across the ocean*

Steven and Connie: *Both appear to be amazed and happy, they look up with wonder at some seagulls.*

(A boat with people on it comes into view and Lion appears to be running right towards it. The screen switches back to Connie, Lion, and Steven with the seagulls still above their heads.)

Steven: *Waves at the shocked people on the boat* Heyo! *Steven and Connie both begin to laugh*

(The shadow of two whales is shown on the water, one being bigger than the other. Lion runs over both of the reflections.)

Connie: *Looks at Steven and Steven looks back at her* Uh.... Are you sure he knows where he's going?

Steven: Maybe it's a short cut.

Lion: *He jumps up, his eyes begin to glow white, and he roars. A pink ring with a smaller circle inside of it shoots across the water and then forms a big white portal. Lion runs right towards it.*

Steven and Connie: *Both begin to scream.*

(Lion goes through the portal and it closes up behind him. A fish jumps out of the water and then dives back in. A starry blue and white background is shown as Steven, Connie, and Lion go through the portal. Steven and Connie continue to scream. Steven is hanging onto Lion's mane while Connie has her arms wrapped around Steven's waist.)

Connie: Has he ever done this?

Steven: No, this is new!

(The portal opens up and they go through it, causing the portal to quickly close again. Lion skids across the water in a new cave location with a big platform rising out of the water, Lion's eyes are glowing white. He rotates around to face forward.)

Steven and Connie: *Both groan*

Lion: *Sits down, causing Steven and Connie to fall off of him and into the shallow water.*

Steven and Connie: Woah!

Steven: *Raises his head and sighs, shaking his head like a wet dog. Connie raises her head slightly and pushes her wet hair out of her face. Steven looks back at her.* Are you okay?

Connie: That was really cool.

Lion: *Roars quietly, causing both Steven and Connie to look in his off screen direction. The screen pans to Lion who is looking at the pair while standing on the platform. He turns around and begins walking to the center of the platform.*

Steven: *His head is shown as he begins to climb the stairs to the platform.* Lion! Wait! Where are you going?! *Steven gasps while Connie is looking around in wonder, causing her to walk right into Steven since she is not paying attention to where she is going.*

Connie: Oof! Woah! *The screen widens to include half of the platform and Lion in the shot.* Is this one of those magic gem places that you've told me about?

(Steven and Connie's lower bodies are shown as they are walking, when Steven steps on the center of the platform it begins to glow bright white. The glowing white heads to a circle in the very center next to Lion. The light becomes a beam that shoots a few feet upwards. The camera pans back to Steven and Connie.)

Steven: Yep. Magic gem place.
