Marble Madness/Transcript

[Int. to Beach]

Steven : Can I look yet?

Connie : Ok... *proceeds to pull out "The Unfamiliar Familiar"

Steven: *Gasp* BOOOOOOOOOKS!

Steven: Woah - Cool cover!

Connie: It's my Favorite Series! It's about this girl named Lisa and she's a witch - I mean she doesn't know she's a witch at first, but she has a familiar which is sorta like this spirit companion that everyone in the world has. Hers is a talking falcon named Archemicorous. Anyways she goes on this quest to find her father after he's kidnapped by a mysterious one-eyed man.

Steven: Wooah, Mystery!

Connie: Here! Let me get us started - "Lisa awoke with a start, the echoes of her dreams still dancing in her mind, the low rumble of thunder murmured through the quiet house.

[A distant shooting noise is heard and the earth rumbles]

Steven: Wooah, this is a really good book!

" The house was deathly still, the only sound Lisa could hear was her own heartbeat pounding in her ears. The hairs on her neck tingled when suddenly -"

[A Plug Robonoid appears to splash in the water near them]

Steven: What the -

Both: Ahh!

[Crystal Gems exit the Crystal Temple and run out to them]

Amethyst: What was that?

[Plug Robonoid rolls up to shore]

Steven: It's one of the Marble Robots..

Connie: What?!

[Plug Robonoid starts approaching Steven and Garnet jumps and stops it]

Garnet: Pearl, Amethyst!

[Both Pearl and Amethyst jump from above and smash Plug Robonoid]

[Steven re-tracts his bubble in which Connie and Him are in]

Steven: You ok?

Connie: I love hanging out at your place.

Steven: Pearl do you think that this was one of-

Pearl: Peridot's Machines? Yes I think so, only we've never seen one this big before.

Amethyst: Or this Gooey.

Pearl: Amethyst, we need to be careful we don't know what this stuff is.

[Amethyst giggles]

Pearl: Oh no - Don't you dare think about getting that stuff on me.

Amethyst: Goop Hug!

[Amethyst chases Pearl off-screen]

Connie: Peridot. Is that the gem you told me about? The one thats trying to come to earth?

Steven: Yeah. We've stopped her before but I guess she can still shoot stuff at us from space.

[Steven walks over an approached Garnet]

Steven: So what do you think it was here to do?

Garnet: We destroyed it - that's all that matters.

Steven: Nods.

Amethyst: Goop Hug! *Hugs Garnet*

[Pearl Approaches covered in Goo looking bashful, then Garnet pushes her so all three are hugging]

[Scene Changes to Connie's House with Dr. Maheswaran at the phone]

Dr. M: Connie? The Steven Universe boy is calling.

[Connie proceeds to grab the phone and run to the next room]

Dr. M: I swear that's not his real name.

Connie: Hi Steven - what's up? Have you read more Unfamiliar Familiar?

Steven: Yeah but I'm -

Connie: AH! Isn't it amazing? How far did you get?

Steven: I'm in the middle of one of them but, I'm really confused.. They keep talking about this Plinkmen guy who died..am I suppose to know who he is?

Connie: Plinkmen.. but that's Lisa's dad.. Steven? You're reading them in order right?

Steven: There's an order? I just started with the one with the coolest cover. Hello? Connie?

[Connie's discomforted face]

[Another shooting noise and impact sound]

Steven: What the?

[Crystal Gems all exit from Burning Room]

Garnet: Something entered the atmosphere.

[All gems exit to porch]

Amethyst: Up there!

Pearl: It's another one of those things.

Garnet: It landed on Mask Island - Come on!

Steven: Connie i'm gonna call you back.

[All Gems warp to Mask Island]

Pearl: Is it looking for a warp?

Garnet: We have to stop it!

[All Gems destroy Plug Robonoid]

Steven: Yeesh - What are these things trying to do.

Pearl: We're not really sure...

Garnet: It's not trying to do anything now.

[Steven Grunts]

[Scene Pans to Connie and Steven talking again]

Connie: Ok so you read the first three books in order. Do you like them?

Steven: Of Course, I really love Lisa's familiar - he's my favorite, there's just one thing I'm really confused about..

Connie: What's that?

Steven: What's a.. Familiar?

Connie: Ugh.. Noooooo.

[Another shooting noise and impact sound]

Connie: Is that another one of those Marble Things?

[Crystal Gems all exit from Burning Room]

Amethyst: Grrrr - What is with these things? This is like the fifth one this week!

Garnet: We'll find it in the desert.

Steven : Guy's wait for me.

[All Gems warp, then a second after Steven uses warp again]

[All Gems are fighting Plug Robonoid]

Pearl: Stop - coming - here - you - stupid - balls!

Amethyst: Yeah! Let it out get crazy!

Steven: Guys - Guys - Guys, Stop! How many more of these are you gonna have to fight?

Pearl: We don't know! They just keep coming and coming and we don't even know what they are - we don't know anything!

Steven: That's ok - I don't know anything all the time, it's like my whole life, but I have you guy's to tell me about teach me about Gem Stuff, and Connie to explain to me what Familiars are, and Dad tells me weird dad stuff.

Pearl: But nobody knows what these things are here to do.

Steven: Well - it probably does.

Pearl: What?

Steven: We could follow it and see where it goes.

Amethyst: Are you nuts?

Pearl: Who knows where it'll go? It can be dangerous!

Garnet: We can't keep fighting these things forever - well we can but I don't want to. Let's do it Steven's way.

Steven: Yeah! Let's follow the funky flow!

Amethyst: We're dead.

[All Gems hop on the Plug Robonoid]

Steven: Alright big guy - mush!

[All stand on warp then Plug Robonoid warps]

All: Gasp

Garnet: Kindergarten..

Pearl: Oh why here? This sight has been damaged enough by the gems that were incubated here 6,000 years ago. That it it's confirmed these things are up to no good.

[Pearl proceeds to pull out spear in the middle of transition]

Steven: Wait! We don't even know what it's doing here? Can't we just see where it wants to go?

Garnet: Hmm.. Steven's way.

[Pearl sighs and retracts spear]

[They all jump back on and it hops down and starts walking]

All: Woah

Pearl: What does it want here?

Steven: Maybe it just wants to see where Amethyst was made!

Amethyst: Maybe it should mind it's own buisness

Pearl: I don't like this at all...

Amethyst: I'm kinda with Pearl on this one..

Steven: Aw come on? Can't you feel this guy's funky flow? He's a funk master.

Pearl: I can't believe we're doing this.

[Robonoid stops]

Steven: What happened?

Garnet: Somethings happening..

[Garnet grabs all and jumps off]

[Robonoid turns into a triangle and ground opens and it inserts in like a slot and turns green into an elevator shaft]

Steven: Yesss *Eyes glow and stare*

Steven: See? I knew we'd find something cool.. Let's go!

[Steven jumps in elevator and all gems gasp and follow behind]

Steven: Hey guys? Going down?.. Are you ok?

Pearl: *staring at architecture* What is all this?

[Elevator stops as control room glows and a control panel arises, the Triangles bottom forms a Flask Robonoid that turns on the hand sensor and turns on a monitor screen, all gems startled jump off to hide]

Peridot: Established Gem Projection Link with control room - Plug Robonoid has successfully landed on Planet Earth and entered Prime Control room in Facet Five. Will proceed to preform status check of Kindergarden.

Amethyst: [Whisper] It's peridot

Pearl: [Whisper] Is she trying to re-activate Kindergarten? Doesn't she know it'll destroy all life on earth?!

Steven: Why don't we ask her?

Garnet: Shh - Steven, we are facing an enemy we don't know with technology we don't understand, this is not the time to be asking questions.

Steven: It sure sounds like it does..

Garnet: Ok - heres the plan, We can't let her see us, we wait for an opening, when she's distracted we go for the power source on the far wall, Steven stays here!

[Both nod in approval of the idea then pans to Steven running up to Peridot]

All: Steven!

Peridot: Now accounting for all operational injectors. Checking for aberrations in perimeter.

[Two giant hands go to the wall and activate a panel and pulls down levers]

Peridot: Ugh this Gem Tech is simply archaic.

Steven: I don't know I think it looks kind of cool.

[Silence]

[Peridot abruptly cancels all she was doing and jolts around behind her transmission.]

Steven: Hi! I'm Steven.

Peridot: There appears to be an infestation of "Stevens" in the Kindergarden

Steven: Oh I'm not so bad when you get to know me!

Peridot: And how many other Stevens are present in this area?

Steven: Oh - just me.

Peridot: That's a relief. Now tell me - Have Steven's replaced the dominant species on earth?

Steven: Oh no - there's lots of Humans, there's my Dad, Connie, Lars and Sadie, Onion.. I think.. Lots of People.

Peridot: Hm..

Steven: Now I get to ask a question, what are you doing here?

Peridot: Just picking up where we left off.

[A fist raises above Steven and abruptly slams almost crushing Steven, but Garnet jumps in front of him and blocks it and throws it back up in the air]

Peridot: A GEM?

[Amethyst and Pearl jump up]

Peridot: More?!

Peridot: But the Red Eye didn't report the presence of any Gems on this planet!

Pearl: That's because we destroyed it.

Peridot: You what? But the records say Gems were wiped out on earth.. Wait a minute.. your the ones that have been destroying my Plug Roboinds.. are you the reason the home world warp is down again? Is this your bizarre icon [shows them the crying breakfast sticker].

Peridot: UGH! WHY DO YOU KEEP DESTROYING MY THING?!

Pearl: Because we are the Crystal Gems - we're still alive and we're still the protectors of this planet and all it's living creatures..

Peridot: The Crystal.. Gems?

[All Gems proceed to jump and attack her giant hover hands]

Peridot: Stop it! How dare you? I'm doing this one way or another.. You're just making it really.. difficult!

Garnet: Amethyst, Now!

[Amethyst uses her whip to grab a hand and throw it at power source]

Peridot: I'm reporting this!

[Peridot's Screen Transmission disappears]

[All Gems surrond Steven]

Amethyst: Is it over?

Steven: Ok.. I might have gone a little to far this time.

Garnet: Well Steven you weren't completely wrong. We learned something new from your decisions.

Steven: Alright!

Garnet: But yeah this was pretty bad.

Steven: Aw man..
