Together Breakfast (episode)/Transcript

[Open Int. Steven's Room- Steven ]

Steven: *opens window to watch sunrise* Everyone’s out, guess I’m making us breakfast.

(Montage sequence of Steven making a stack of waffles w/syrup)

Steven: *bangs on temple door* Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst? Is anyone home?!

(Montage of Steven making popcorn and then dumping it over the waffles w/ syrup)

Steven: *staring at warp pad* One, two, three: Warp in! Ugh, guess they’re still out saving the world.

Steven: *puts Whipped Cream on top of the breakfast* Look at you, you are out of control! *Opens door to back of house* Pearl, Garnet?! *back inside, concentrating, Steven places strawberry on top and lifts it up* It’s done!

Steven: *sigh* That thing’s too good for me to eat alone, it’s a... “together breakfast”.

(Garnet warps in, scroll in hand)

Steven: Ah, Garnet, perfect! It’s not exactly healthy, but it’s in a stack, so I guess you could say, it’s a “balanced breakfast”? *pulls a face and strains it* You know, like I made us all breakfast, like we could eat together. Like, like best buds.

Garnet: I can’t stay. There’s business to attend to, inside the temple. *opens door*

Steven: Aw, business, like what?

Garnet: I have to burn this. *opens scroll w/ mystic symbols*

Steven: Cool! *snaps a pic w/ his smart phone*

Garnet: *takes phone* I have to burn this too. *leaves, door closes behind her*

Steven: No, my apps! *Runs to door, lifts shirt and presses gem against door* Door, open door! Aw, you never work when I need it.

Amethyst: *shape-shifted into police man w/ water gun, speaking w/ fake voice* “Dumb police, uh, you’re dumb!” *shoots at Steven’s breakfast*

Steven: *jumps in front of water blast* Nooooo!

Amethyst: *laughs* Oh man, I totally got you! You should’ve seen the look on your face.

Steven: Aw, I knew it was you.

Amethyst: Pfft, how?

Steven: *changing shirts* Because that’s a water gun. And I’m not dumb.

Amethyst: You’ve got something on your shirt.

(Steven looks down, Amethyst hits him w/ water blast  and laughs, Pearl enters from Temple w/ sword from Amethyst’s door)

Amethyst:*shifts back to normal* Hey, that’s my door!

Pearl: *holding sword* Oh, Amethyst, there you are. Care to explain what one of “my” swords was doing in “your” room?

Amethyst: Having a “sword” party.

Pearl: Oh please, you took it.

Amethyst: I did not!

Pearl: It’s fine. It’s in the past, I forgive you. *Amethyst groans* Also, I cleaned up your awful awful mess, you’re welcome.

Amethyst: You did “what”?! I have a system! *runs into temple*

Steven: Amethyst, wait!

Pearl: What’s the matter Steven?

Steven: I wanted all of us to have breakfast together. So I made together breakfast. *points to breakfast* But everyone keeps leaving.

Pearl: *whilst leaving through door* Ah, that’s nice. *disappears into room*

Steven: Oh no, not you too! I can’t let this become together brunch! *runs towards door and jams with arm, slips through*

[Trans. Int. Crystal Temple: Pearl's Room- Steven and Pearl] (Pearl performs a short ballerina dance and summons her sword collection to which she adds the missing sword)

Pearl: *putting sword back* hmm, there we go. Ah.

Steven: Hey Pearl!

Pearl: Steven! What are you doing in here? You know it’s dangerous for you inside the temple. *reopens temple door to Steven’s Room*

Steven: *determined* We’re going to have a nice together breakfast, even if I have to get my shoes wet. *steps into Pearl’s waterfall pool*

Pearl: What?! Get out of there!

Steven: I’ll swim it over to you. *swims to center* See, doggy paddle, forward. *gets pulled into descending waterfall* Oh gosh, wait, doggy paddle, reverse, reverse!

Pearl: Steven!

(Steven falls down twisting waterfall which defies gravity, loops several times and sends him to the bottom pool*

Steven: *falling* What the? Woah, keep it together breakfast! *hits bottom pool*

[Trans. Int. Crystal Temple: Amethyst's Room- Amethyst and Steven] (Steven washes up on shore of Amethyst’s room, breakfast intact)

Amethyst: *flipping over organized junk* Better...

Steven: Amethyst.

Amethyst: Oh hey Steven. Did you come down the waterfall? Pearl gets so mad that I have her junk, but it’s always falling down here.

Steven: Junk like what?

Amethyst: Junk like...You! *picks up Steven, laughing* I’mma throw you in the junk pile! *tosses him in pile* Isn’t it awful? Pearl organized everything.

Steven: Still looks messy to me.

Amethyst: Aw, thanks. I try. Boom! *kicks small pile, looks at breakfast* Oh what’s that Steven?

Steven: It’s a together breakfast.

Amethyst: Alright, snacks! *grabs at it*

Steven: No!*pulls away* It’s for everyone to eat together. That’s the essence of together breakfast.

Amethyst: Oh...gimme, gimme!

(Amethyst attempts to take it, Steven runs away down a corridor)

[Trans. Crystal Temple corridor]

Steven: *running* We have to eat it together! *runs on twisting corridor which turns him upside down and then up right once more* Woah!

Amethyst: You can’t out run me Steven, we both have short legs!

[Trans. Crystal temple floating platforms room] (Steven comes to room full of floating platforms, forcing him to stop for a moment)

Amethyst: *still running after him* Steven! I’m hungry!

Steven: *jumping platforms* Just. Hold. On! An exit, woo! *jumps towards final platform, causing the breakfast to fall apart and Steven catches all of it in order* Skills!

Amethyst: *jumps* Get back here!

Steven:*running* You’re completely missing the point of this! *jumps and clings onto crystal heart vein*

[Trans. Ext. Crystal Heart- Steven and Amethyst]

Amethyst:*alarmed* Hey, wait a second!

Pearl:*entering from other side* Steven, there you are!

Steven: Pearl, sweet. Two out of three.

Pearl: *noticing what he’s clinging to, worried* Oh, OH! Steven, be careful.

Steven: Wha-? Why? *stares up at crystal heart*

Pearl: You “really” shouldn’t be in here, this is the crystal heart. It’s connected to the most dangerous parts of the temple! Hold on tight, and don’t look down.

Steven: *looks down, slips down* Aaah! *slides through light section* Oh hey, this isn’t so bad. *slides into dark section* Ah, never mind!

[Trans. The Burning Room w/ lava well- Garnet, Steven] (Steven slides down to a stop just above Garnet who is about to burn the scroll in the lava well)

Steven: *Garnet takes out his phone, snaps it in half, and drops it into lava* Aw... *slides down*

(Garnet take out scroll and begins to burn it within a bubble, Garnet and Pearl drop down from above)

Pearl:*whispering* Steven, we’re getting you out of here, come on.

Steven:*yelling* This is great, we’re all together!

(Garnet becomes distracted, Evil Spirit almost escapes)

Steven: *oblivious* Well, I mean, we don’t have any forks, but we can use our hands! I’m not gonna judge.

Garnet: *distracted but still trying to contain spirit* Steven, go!

Steven: Ok, want to meet in the kitchen?

(Garnet becomes too distracted and Evil Spirit escapes and expands, gems summon weapons)

Garnet: It’s trying to escape! Force it back!

(Gems fight the spirit, doing damage to it while Steven backs away, once harmed too much, the spirit makes a dash for Steven, and hits the breakfast, possessing it and knocking Steven down)

All Gems: Steven!

Steven: Ugh, *breakfast shakes* Together breakfast?

(Breakfast transforms into a massive monster of its ingredients, and wraps Steven in its Syrup, Pearl spears it, which distracts it)

Pearl: It’s taken refuge in organic matter! *Monster hits pearl and sticks her to the wall w/ a mix of whipped cream and syrup)

Garnet: Now it has all the power of a breakfast, we have to destroy it.

Pearl: *surrounded by whipped cream* Aah! It’s horrible!

Steven: I didn’t want this! I just wanted to eat together like, like best buds!

Garnet: *arm stuck in its mass* Steven, you’ve got to get away.

Steven: But my breakfast-!

(Monster launches a giant waffle at both Garnet and Amethyst, smashing them against a wall)

Steven: That’s, enough! I, don’t care if you, are the most important meal of the day! *pushing the monster from the bottom, into the lava well* I made you to bring us together, not to tear us apart!

(Steven pushes monster all the way into lava, destroying it, gems escape from its mass and gather around the well)

Steven: I’m sorry guys, I guess I dream too big.

[Screen fade, Trans. Int. Steven’s Room- Gems and Steven] (Montage of gems recreating Steven’s original breakfast)

Steven: It looks great! It’s even more together and even more breakfast!

(Steven and Gems stare at it with great concern and unwillingness to eat it)

Steven: I don’t think I can eat this.

Amethyst: Yeah, let’s order pizza. *Steven and Pearl agree*

Garnet: It “did” try to kill us.
