Same Old World/Transcript

Peridot: It was so intense down there! We were already a few layers into the Earth's crust, WHEN SUDDENLY -- WA-PAMO! KA POWIE! All these gross Cluster limbs started clawing at the drill. So, I whipped out the old Photon Blaster and, "PEW PEW P-CHOW CHOW!". Take that, Cluster! And Steven was all, "My feelings", and then up and passes out on me! Then everything started glowing and... well, yeah, wait.

(Peridot clears her throat).

Peridot: I'm sure Steven can fill you in on the rest since he's the one who saved us. You should've seen it, right Steven? Tell 'em what happened in there!

(Steven doesn't respond).

Peridot: Steven?

Steven: Hold on a sec. I'll be right back.

(Steven walks to the barn to check up on Lapis).

Garnet: I see you're worried about your friend.

Steven: Yeah. When I saw her in my dreams, it looked like she was fighting so hard to keep Malachite from escaping.

Garnet: Lapis spent an unbearable amount of time fused with Jasper. The emotional and physical strain of that type of fusion, I can't imagine. She's gonna need a lot of time to recover.

Steven: (sighs), you're right.

Garnet: Come on, I'm dying to hear more about what happened underground.

Steven: (chuckles), okay.

(Steven sleeps outside of the barn in a bug sleeping bag when he hears noises from the inside of the barn. Lapis stands inside, fully recovered).

Steven: Lapis, you're okay!

Lapis Lazuli: Steven!

Steven: You're...leaving.

Lapis Lazuli: I have too Steven, I don't belong on Earth... not with the Crystal Gems.

(Turns to face the camera)

Lapis Lazuli: I never have.

Steven: It's okay, I understand, I just wish we could've hung out more. I feel like I only get to see you when something horrible's going on.

Lapis Lazuli: (looks relieved) That's just how it is with me.

(Lapis walks out of camera view, then cuts to Lapis standing outside of the barn with her wings stretched out)

Lapis Lazuli: Steven...thank you, goodbye, again.

Steven: (teary eyed) Bye.

(Lapis takes off into the skies and Steven sadly watches her go. It cuts to day and the camera pans down to Greg packing his van in front of the barn).

Steven: Are you sure you wanna stay? You could always come back to the temple with us and live in the bathroom again.

Peridot: (is lounging on an old tractor) No thanks, I have seen what goes on in there.

(Steven blushes)

Peridot: Besides, I've grown accustomed to this place, and I could probably fix the hole that I made with my giant robot.

(camera pans to giant hole in the barn wall)

Steven: Mm, okay! Well, have fun redecorating!

(cuts to Greg closing the van doors)

Greg: Well, that's everything...and then some. Steven, you ready to go home?

Garnet: (pops head out of the van window) All seat belts are fastened.

Steven: (walks up to the van) Peridot says she's staying.

Greg: Eh, it's probably for the best, I don't think she would've fitted in the van.

Steven: You guys go on ahead, I'll catch up with you on Lion.

Greg: (heads into the van) Sure, o-okay, I'll see you then.

(The van drives off)

Steven: (raises arm to wave) See ya! Now where is that feline?

(Steven walks off)

Steven: (calling out) Lion? Hey, Lion?!

Steven: (inhales; yells) LEEEE-on! I have a big steak right here in my hand for you!

(Steven drops imaginary steak)

Steven: Whoops, I dropped it and it fell out of existence!

(walks away onto a flowery hill)

Steven: (still calling out) You can't hide from me too long because you love me soooo much!

(He begins looking around then spots Lapis sitting on top of the silo)

Steven: Whoa, Lapis!

(Steven climbs up the ladders of the silo but struggles to keep his balance, he eventually sits besides Lapis)

Steven: I thought you left?

Lapis Lazuli I was leaving, then I realized I've got no where to go. Who knows what they would do to me back home after what I did to Jasper, I can't go back to Homeworld, I can't stay here.

Steven Sure you can!

(Lapis looks towards Steven)

Lapis Lazuli What?

 Steven You can totally stay here, it doesn't have to be here here. You can live anywhere, you don't have to stay in Beach city if you don't want to.

(Steven takes out his hands and starts naming the cities he knows on the top of his head)

Steven You could live in Surf City, Sea City, Aqua Town, Bayburgh, and that's all the places I know on the top of my head. I could show you around.

Lapis Lazuli Really?

Steven Yeah, we could find you a new place to live, I really don't know the tri-state area but my phone (Steven takes out his phone with the GPS on) has a global positioning system.

Lapis Lazuli Uhh, okay, let's go look.

Steven (Steven stands up and says) Ready Freddy?

Lapis Lazuli My name's Lapis. (Lapis sits down in order to allow Steven to climb on her back, she stands up after he's up)

Lapis Lazuli You okay like this?

(Steven nods his head in agreement, and they take off to the skies)

Steven Whoaaa(Steven is rallied up with fear and excitement while he holds on to Lapis)

(As Lapis and Steven move further away, so does the Barn. Steven shouts 'Whoa' in excitement as they fly above a moving train and fields of the farms)

Steven So how about this, you could live out here in the country, there's no noise, no rules, and it just be you becoming one with nature

(Lapis Lazuli flies below the trees of the country)

Lapis Lazuli (She looks around out of curiosity) Why would I want to do that?

Steven Because it's fun, if you live with these trees, you could build a giant bird nest and have squirrels pads. You could eat acorn pie every night and when it gets hotter or rains, you would be protected by these nice leaves

Lapis Lazuli (Lapis Looks interestingly towards the leaves as her eyes shine due to the sunlight that reflect upon them) leaves

(Lapis flies above the tree when suddenly a leaf get's caught up in Steven's mouth)

Steven (Steven takes out the leaf from his mouth using his left hand) Whooa, Lapis look at this, this leaf turned orange, this means the season are changing from summer to fall, soon it will happen to all the leaves on all the trees

Lapis Lazuli Wow

Steven So, what do you think?

Lapis Lazuli (Lapis looks down as she flies) Hmmm, I'm not sure

Steven (Steven takes out his phone to look up on the GPS) That's okay, there's plenty of places we haven't been yet. Come on (Steven points to the north towards Empire City)
