Speaker	Dialogue
[The episode begins with Steven and Lapis walking on a pier near the Beach City harbors. Steven has a surprise for Lapis as she covers her eyes with her wings.]
Lapis	I'm starting to guess the surprise, Steven.
Steven	I told you to close your eyes!
Lapis	[Laughs] Sorry.
Steven	Okay, wait here.
Greg and Steven	Surprise!
(Steven shows Lapis a large yacht the three will use.)
Lapis	Hm.
Steven	We bought a boat!
Greg	Uh, correction. We rented a boat. I may be rich, but buying a boat would be going a bit overboard.
Steven	Ayyy.
Greg	Ayyyyy.
Greg and Steven	Ayyyyy!
Greg	Just a joke I picked up from some sailors. They have a surprisingly clean sense of humor.
Lapis	Steven, who is this?
Greg	Uh, Greg Universe. (Offers a handshake to Lapis.) You broke my leg trying to use the ocean to fly back to your homeworld?
Lapis	Lapis Lazuli. Nice to meet you.
(Greg holds out his hand expecting a handshake which never comes, making the moment awkward.)
Greg	Great! Well, I'll get the boat started.
Steven	So what do you think?
Lapis	It's nice, Steven... but I don't know.
Steven	Look, Lapis, I know you spent a really long time fused with Jasper at the bottom of the ocean, but you're not Malachite anymore. And water is a part of who you are. You can't let one bad experience take that away from you.
Lapis	It was more than one.
Steven	Just give it a chance. I promise we'll make this the most fun you've ever had.
Lapis	Steven, I... Don't deserve this.
Steven	Of course you do! We even named her Li'l Lappy.
(Greg is seen giving a thumbs up to the name until he realizes the taped coverup paper fell off and showed its real name, "S.S. MISERY." to Lapis' amusement.)
Lapis	[Snorts then laughs.] Okay. I'll give it a chance. But, just one.
(Lapis picks up Steven and flies to the floor of the boat.)
Steven	Woah! [Laughs]
Greg	(Speaking into a speaker microphone) You two ready to set sail?
Steven	Aye, aye, Captain!
Lapis	Yes.
Greg	(Sounding the horn) Full speed ahe-- Woah!
(A piece of wood was pulled off the dock since Greg forgot to unlock the cord keeping the yacht at bay.)
Greg	Ah, geez, you think anyone will notice?
(Steven, Greg, and Lapis set sail, their progress seen in a birds-eye view.)
Greg	Wow, I think I did a number on that dock. Maybe somebody else should take a shot at being captain. What do you say, Captain Lazuli?
Lapis	I shouldn't.
Steven	Go for it, Lapis.
Lapis	Don't put me in charge! Oh, sorry. I mean, y-you shouldn't trust me with the boat.
Steven	Uh, that's okay. Don't worry about it. We can all be first mates, so there's no pressure. Only fun stuff today!
(Lapis is pleased with the plan, including Greg, who continues to offer the Captain's hat.)
Greg	Lapis, you can still wear the hat, if you want.
Lapis	Thanks, but I'm not putting that on my body.
Greg	(Puts the hat back on.) Let's set a course for f-u-u-un!
(Upbeat music plays as Steven and Greg enjoy their time on the yacht. Lapis is not as energetic from noticing the unknown but eventually enjoys herself as she continues to pull the horn. Afterward, they talk to Greg, who is seen fishing.)
Steven	Dad! Dad!
Greg	Hey, you two. Finally get enough of that horn?
Steven	What?!
Greg	[Chuckles]
Lapis	What are you doing?
Greg	Catching fish. (Throws the hook into the water.)
Lapis	Oh, I can help! [Sighs]
(Lapis steps back and uses her hydrokinesis to lift a large mass of water containing plenty of fish.)
Greg	[Gasps] What the?!
Steven	Woah.
Greg	That's a pretty uh... fancy way of catching fish.
Steven	That's 'cause Lapis is super strong!
Greg	Well, I, Uh, appreciate the gesture, but I-I think it would be safer to stick to the old-fashioned way of doing it.
Lapis	Oh, uh... sure.
(Lapis shoots the large mass of water back into the ocean which causes a large ripple that shakes the boat and makes it creak.)
Steven and Greg	Woah!
Steven	Wow, Lapis! That was ama... (Lapis puts her hand on Steven's head to calm him.) zing...
Lapis	So, how do you fish the old-fashioned way?
Greg	Oh, it's pretty simple. You start with a rod, and you put a hook on the end of your line. And then, when you feel a nibble, you reel it in. And there it is. You've caught yourself a fish to eat!
Lapis	But why would a fish ever bite a hook?
Greg	You got to bait it. Put something on it you know it wants, like a worm or a $20 bill. Here, I'll show you. (Throws the hook back into the water.) Fishing.
(Time skips by as Greg continues to fish. Steven and Lapis get impatient.)
Lapis	When does the fish part happen?
Greg	Well, sometimes it isn't about the fish you keep, but the company you catch. (Notices a nibble.) Woah! I got a bite!
Steven	[Gasps]
Greg	Lapis, here! Give it a try! Hold it just like that and reel it in slowly.
Lapis	Like this?
Greg	You got it. It looks like a big one!
(Lapis continues to reel in but faces difficulty as she is pulled back with great force.)
Steven	Lapis!
Greg	Steven!
(They both grab hold onto Lapis and help her pull.)
Steven	[Grunts] You got it, Lapis! Reel it in!
Lapis	It's... pulling... so hard!
(The silhouetted entity is about to emerge. Lapis is shocked as the line snaps and lets it sink back.)
Greg	[Sighs] Looks like this pole rental turned into a pole purchase. But you did a great job tangling with that beast.
Steven	Y-yeah. Don't worry about that one getting away.
Lapis	Oh, thank you.
Greg	Welp, that's my adventure quota for the day. I'll be at the controls. Holler if you need me.
Steven	Yes, sir! Lapis, what do you... (Steven notices they disappeared from their area.) Lapis? (Steven notices her sitting on a patio lounge chair.
Steven	Hey. Whatcha doing?
Lapis	I just thought I'd sit for a bit.
Steven	You looked like a real pro fisher before the pole snapped.
Lapis	Thanks.
Steven	Hmm. So, fishing was a bust, but I-I got something that'll cheer you up. Shuffleboard! What do you say?
(The ship starts to shake as something is heard crashing.)
Steven	Ahh!, Ugh! [Groans] What was that?
(The crash happens again, and continues to happen.)
Steven and Lapis	Ahh!
Lapis	Are you okay?
Steven	Yeah.
Lapis	What's going on?
Greg	Steven! You got a moment?
Steven	Is everything okay, First Mate Dad?
Greg	Shh! You hear that?
(Silence as the crashing stops.)
Steven	Uhhh... no.
Greg	I guess it stopped. I think something's wrong with the boat.
(Greg tries to turn the wheel to no success.)
Greg	Aw, geez, something's throwing off the rudder. I don't know what's going on, and this owner's manual is no help. It's mostly advice on sun tanning and what crackers go with caviar.
Steven	Well, what crackers go with caviar?
Greg	Water crackers.
Steven and Greg	Ayyyyyyyyyyyy!
(Muffled thumping is heard inside the yacht.)
Greg	[Gasps] There it is.
(The yacht begins to rumble then crash again. Greg and Steven go over to check the internal of the yacht. It begins to leak smoke which causes Steven and Greg to cough profusely.)
Greg	Oh, crud! The engine! I don't know how to fix an engine. This trip might be a little longer than we thought, little buddy.
(The scene transitions to an overcast weather. Lapis is seen staring at the scene of the ocean.)
Steven	Lapis? Um... I have some not-so-good news. There's trouble with the engine, and we might be stuck out here for a while.
Lapis	[Sighs]
Steven	[Sighs] I'm so sorry! This whole thing is my fault. I just wanted you to have fun, but everything's a mess. I shouldn't have made you come on this trip.
Lapis	It's my fault. I'm the one to blame.
Steven	That's not true.
Lapis	I'm really trying to enjoy it out here, but... I can't stop thinking about being fused as Malachite, how I used all my strength to hold her down in the ocean, and how I was always battling against Jasper to keep her bound to me.
Steven	But it's not like that anymore. You don't have to be with Jasper.
Lapis	That's not it. I... I miss her.
Steven	What?!
Lapis	[Sighs] We were fused for so long.
Steven	But... she's terrible.
Lapis	I'm terrible! I did horrible things! I-I broke your dad's leg. I stole Earth's ocean! Go on! Tell me I'm wrong!
(The yacht begins to rumble again. An arm emerges from the water, grabbing the anchor chain and climbing. It turns out that Jasper has returned which shocks Steven and Lapis.)
Jasper	Finally! [Thunder crashes behind her.]
Steven and Lapis	Jasper!
Jasper	I thought I'd never catch up to you!
Lapis	You've been following us?
Jasper	I've been following you.
Lapis	[Gasps]
Steven	Stay back! [Summons his shield]
Jasper	[Laughs] This dulled-down version of Rose Quartz works for you now? You're pointing that shield the wrong way. [Chuckles] She's the one you should be afraid of.
Lapis	That's not true.
Jasper	You can't lie to me. I've seen what you're capable of. I thought I was a brute, but you... you're a monster.
Lapis	I...
Steven	Lapis doesn't want anything to do with you!
Jasper	This is between... us!
(Jasper swipes Steven with her arm, knocking Steven back and moderately damaging him.)
Steven	[Groans]
Lapis	Steven!
(Jasper grabs Lapis by the arm, restricting her movement.)
Lapis	[Grunts]
(Jasper then clasps her hands around Lapis' and lands on her knees.)
Jasper	Let's be Malachite again.
(The thunder continues to crash, setting the scene.)
Lapis	Why... would you want that?
Jasper	I was wrong about fusion. You made me understand! Malachite was bigger and stronger than both of us! We could fly!
Steven	Lapis, don't listen to her!
Jasper	Stay out of this!
Lapis	I was terrible to you. I liked taking everything out on you. I needed to. I-I hated you. It was bad!
Jasper	It'll be better this time. I've changed. You've changed me. I'm the only one who can handle your kind of power. [Walks closer towards Lapis until her back's against the front of the ship's cabin]
Lapis	[Gasps]
Jasper	Together, we'll be unstoppable!
(Lapis thinks about it. Staring back at Steven and his worried look helped set her decision.)
Lapis	No.
Jasper	What?
Lapis	What we had wasn't healthy. I never want to feel like I felt with you. Never again! So just go!
Jasper	Lapis!
Steven	She said, "No!" Leave her alone!
Jasper	This is your fault. [Growls and starts charging towards him] I'll shatter you!
Steven and Lapis	[Gasps]
Lapis	[Grunts]
(Lapis summons a large mass of water forming into a fist, smashing through the middle of the yacht, hitting Jasper.)
Jasper	Eeuugh!
(Jasper gets pushed far, far away because of the impact.)
Steven	Lapis, you did it!
Greg	Are you two okay?! What?!
(The boat begins to creak and groan as it starts to sink.)
Greg	What happened?
Steven	Uhh, (Lapis picks up Steven and Greg and flies away.) it's kind of a long story.
Greg	I guess I bought a boat after all.
Steven	Eh, sorry, Dad. But hey, the ocean's really beautiful from up here.
Lapis	Yeah. It is.
[The star iris zooms into the trio and pops, and the episode ends.]
