Dialogue
|
| [Open Int. Beach House]
|
| (Following the events in "A Single Pale Rose", Steven and Pearl explain the latest revelation to Amethyst and Garnet.)
|
| Amethyst
|
Let me get this straight. Rose Quartz, leader of the Crystal Gems, Steven's mom, was actually Pink Diamond?!
|
| Steven
|
She faked her own shattering, and reformed to be Rose all the time.
|
| Pearl
|
Pink Diamond's final command to me was that no one could know. But now that Steven does, I can finally tell you all everything!
|
| Amethyst
|
Phew! I mean, a pink lion, a pink sword, and now Pink Diamond?! Huh, if you told me Rose invented cotton candy, I'd believe it. Right, Garnet? Uh, Garnet?
|
| (Garnet is seen shaking in her seat, as she slowly gets up and walks towards the Warp Pad.)
|
| Garnet
(Sapphire)
|
Rose... She... She...! Ughh... Ahh...!
|
| (Garnet struggles to stay together as a single tear drips from her eye, but unfuses back into Ruby and Sapphire.)
|
| Ruby
|
Sapphire-
|
| Sapphire
|
She lied to us! She lied about everything! *freezes the floor in her fury* She held our hands, looked at us right in the eyes, and told us to never question who we are as Garnet. We never questioned ourselves, or her!
|
| Ruby
|
We couldn't have known!
|
| Sapphire
|
No, you couldn't have known. You never know what's going on. That's what I'm for!
|
| Ruby
|
Sapphire...
|
| Sapphire
|
But I never looked into her, I trusted her... I let her make fools of us all! *stomps off to the Warp Pad*
|
| Ruby
|
Sapphire, wait! *chases after Sapphire*
|
| Steven
|
Guys!
|
| (Steven tries to run after the pair, but slips and falls on the ice Sapphire caused.)
|
| Ruby
|
Please... We can just stay calm a-and talk about this, right? Let's just... talk.
|
| Sapphire
|
Talk about what? How our relationship is based on a lie? What else is there to say...
|
| (Sapphire warps away and Ruby drops to her knees.)
|
| Pearl
|
Ruby, I am so sorry...
|
| Steven
|
Come on, Pearl. Help me explain everything to Sapphire.
|
| Pearl
|
Right.
|
| Steven
|
Sit tight, Ruby. We'll go and get Sapphire.
|
| Ruby
|
Okay...
|
| (Steven and Pearl warp away after Sapphire, as Ruby starts weeping in immerse sadness.)
|
| [Trans. Rose's Fountain]
|
| (Steven and Pearl arrive at Rose's sanctuary, where it is now frozen over and snowing.)
|
| Pearl
|
Maybe she's here.
|
| (Steven then spots Sapphire slumped over Rose's fountain.)
|
| Steven
|
Sapphire!
|
| (Steven and Pearl run up to Sapphire, but she strikes a blast of ice at them to halt their path.)
|
| Sapphire
|
Everything we were running from, she was right there all along... Using us for her... little war...? Smiling at us with those... knowing eyes...? Making me believe in a better future that I couldn't see, because it wasn't real. And now here we are, our friends, shattered!... And corrupted!... Of course she was a Diamond. What a long road she took, to torture us like this...
|
| Steven
|
It wasn't like that! You know she didn't want anyone to get hurt.
|
| Sapphire
|
I don't know that! I clearly... don't know anything...!
|
| Pearl
|
You deserve to know everything. I was given to Pink Diamond a few thousand years before she was given the Earth. I was supposed to make her happy, I just... never could...
|
| (Pearl begins recounting her time with Pink Diamond, cuing a flashback.)
|
| [Trans. Int. Moon Base (Flashback)]
|
| (Pink Diamond sits in her chair, browsing through various Gem locations on Earth on the control panel, while Pearl stands next to her, glancing up at Pink Diamond. In her boredom, Pink Diamond returns the glance. Pearl quickly looks back forward, as does Pink Diamond.)
|
| Pink Diamond
|
Could you imagine that running a colony would be this dull?
|
| Pearl
|
I could imagine it, if you would like me to, my Diamond.
|
| Pink Diamond
|
*sighs* Show me the status of the Prime Kindergarten.
|
| Pearl
|
Yes, my Diamond.
|
| (Pearl places her hand on the control panel and projects a hologram of Earth with her gem.)
|
| Pearl
|
The first Quartz soldiers are due to emerge soon.
|
| Pink Diamond
|
*gasps excitedly* Finally, something exciting!
|
| (Pink Diamond jumps down into the observation room of the base, while Pearl calmly walks down the stairs.)
|
| Pink Diamond
|
Hurry, we've got to see this! Quickly, turn it on.
|
| Pearl
|
Yes, my Diamond.
|
| (Pearl activates the orb in the room, and the Prime Kindergarten is projected all around in the room.)
|
| Pink Diamond
|
Look at this, Pearl! We're creating life from nothing!
|
| (Pink Diamond watches an Amethyst emerge from the wall of the Kindergarten.)
|
| Pink Diamond
|
Welcome to Earth! *holds out her arms for a hug*
|
| (The Amethyst, being a hologram, walks through Pink Diamond and over to some other Amethysts, and began talking to them.)
|
| Pink Diamond
|
*sighs* I wish I could just be there...
|
| Pearl
|
I'll have us warped in the Kindergarten at once, my Diamond.
|
| Pink Diamond
|
W-What? N-No, no, if I went down to the Kindergarten I would never hear the end of it from Yellow and Blue. Oh, but could you imagine? Me, down there, laughing and playing with the Amethysts?
|
| Pearl
|
Of course I can, my Diamond.
|
| (Pearl projects a hologram of Pink Diamond laughing with the Amethysts.)
|
| Pearl
|
You look so happy.
|
| Pink Diamond
|
I won't be so happy when Blue and Yellow find out.
|
| Pearl
|
They won't find out.
|
| Pink Diamond
|
How's that?
|
| Pearl
|
Because... You look just like a Quartz.
|
| (The hologram Pink Diamond shapeshifts into a Rose Quartz.)
|
| Pearl
|
You changed your shape for a day!
|
| Pink Diamond
|
That's brilliant, Pearl!
|
| Pearl
|
I'm glad I was able to help my Dia-
|
| (Pearl's projection dissipates, she looks at Pink Diamond, to find that she had seemingly disappeared.)
|
| Pink Diamond
|
Hehe, down here!
|
| (Pearl looks down and finds that Pink Diamond had shapeshifted herself into a Rose Quartz.)
|
| [Trans. Int. Prime Kindergarten (Flashback)]
|
| (Rose and Pearl warp to the Prime Kindergarten, which looks very lively with several active Injectors and many Amethysts walking around.)
|
| Rose
|
Pearl, look! This is... incredible! We have to go down there and check it out.
|
| Pearl
|
Wah!
|
| (Rose grabs Pearl and floats down to the ground of the Kindergarten.)
|
| Rose
|
Pearl, this is so-
|
| Amethyst 1
|
Outta my way!
|
| Rose
|
Wha- Ugh!
|
| (Rose gets shoved by an Amethyst as she runs past, causing her to fall over onto the ground.)
|
| Pearl
|
Oh no! I'm so sorry, these Amethyst guards can be so rude!
|
| Rose
|
But Pearl, don't you see what's happening?
|
| Pearl
|
Huh?!
|
| Rose
|
We're actually here! And I am fitting right in! None of that dumb salute- Thank you so much for talking me into this, I couldn't have done this on my own.
|
| Pearl
|
Uhh... You're welcome, my Diamond-
|
| Rose
|
Gah- Shhh... Pearl, you're gonna get us in trouble.
|
| Pearl
|
Sorry, my... Quartz.
|
| (Rose giggles and leads Pearl off. They walk up to a group of Amethysts standing by the canyon wall.)
|
| Rose
|
Hey... fellow Amethyst guards! What are we all up to?
|
| Amethyst 2
|
There's two more from our unit that haven't emerged yet, so we're gonna wait for them. Here comes one of them.
|
| (An Amethyst bursts out from the wall and lands on the ground, groaning in disorientation. Rose walks up to her and clutches her shoulders.)
|
| Rose
|
Oh, wow, look at you. Welcome to Earth!
|
| Amethyst 3
|
That is the first and... nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.
|
| Amethyst 4
|
*runs in* What's going on here? Our orders were to move out as soon as you emerged!
|
| Amethyst 5
|
But 8XM hasn't emerged yet.
|
| Amethyst 4
|
She can catch up with us later. Go, go, go!
|
| Rose
|
Hup! Hup! Hup!
|
| (The Amethysts ran off and Rose started to follow them, but Pearl quickly halted her.)
|
| Pearl
|
My Diamond? Please? Let's not draw any more attention to ourselves than we already have.
|
| Rose
|
Ugh you're right. But things were getting really fun.
|
| Pearl
|
What if, we took some time to explore some of Earth's other features?
|
| Rose
|
Pearl! You're so smart.
|
| [Trans. Rose's Fountain]
|
| (The flashback pauses briefly, returning to Steven, Sapphire and Pearl.)
|
| Steven
|
So it was all, just so she could get out and have some fun?
|
| Pearl
|
Well, that's how it started...
|
| [Trans. Ext. Prime Kindergarten (Flashback)]
|
| (The flashback continues; Rose and Pearl exit the Prime Kindergarten to observe the surroundings of Earth.)
|
| Rose
|
So... This... is Earth.
|
| Pearl
|
And this is just a small portion of the resources available for making Gems on this planet.
|
| Rose
|
I have to see it all.
|
| (A montage begins as Rose and Pearl explore Earth together. They walk through a field of flowers, chase a butterfly, and watch a fish in a river. The pair then see a group of humans collecting water from the river, when Rose comes to a horrific realization. The sky begins to grow dark, the pair return back to the Kindergarten, with Rose looking uneasy.)
|
| Pearl
|
Is everything alright, my Diamond? You seem troubled.
|
| Rose
|
All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth... None of it... will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing. We're taking life, and leaving nothing behind.
|
| (Flashes of lightning strike as thunder is heard, and it begins to rain.)
|
| Pearl
|
Forgive me, my Diamond. I shouldn't have brought you to such a place.
|
| Rose
|
No. I needed to see this.
|
| (Rose gazes at the Kindergarten, now looking dark and ominous.)
|
| [Trans. Rose's Fountain]
|
| (The flashback pauses again, returning to Steven, Sapphire and Pearl.)
|
| Steven
|
So she did want to protect Earth. She didn't realize what the colony was doing to the planet.
|
| Sapphire
|
So what?! She suddenly started to care about Earth? Why did she have to rope us into all this? Why couldn't she just stop the colonization herself?
|
| Pearl
|
She tried.
|
| [Trans. Int. Moon Base (Flashback)]
|
| (A flashback montage is shown of Pink Diamond pleading to Blue and Yellow Diamond, only to be shut down by them.)
|
| Pearl (voice-over)
|
When she told the other Diamonds she didn't want to go through with the colony, they told her to finish what she started. When she told the other Diamonds she wanted to preserve life on Earth, they created the zoo and threw a handful of humans in. She did everything she could as Pink Diamond. But her status meant nothing to Blue and Yellow. So she decided to make a stand, as someone they couldn't ignore.
|
| (In her fury, Pink Diamond shapeshifts into Rose Quartz.)
|
| [Trans. Int. Ancient Sky Arena (Flashback)]
|
| Pearl
|
She was going to scare every Gem off the planet. But everything changed when she saw... your fusion.
|
| (Rose and Pearl saw the newly-fused Garnet for the first time, but quickly fled before the Homeworld Gems could catch them.)
|
| [Trans. Int. Forest (Flashback)]
|
| (Rose begins musing over Garnet's fusion as she and Pearl trod through a forest.)
|
| Rose
|
I still can't believe it. Only on Earth, don't you think? Only on Earth where anything can happen. A fusion of two completely different Gems! Can all Gems do that? How have I never heard of this?! I've only ever heard that it's unheard of. Can you imagine what that must feel li-
|
| (Pearl suddenly lifts Rose above her by her feet.)
|
| Pearl
|
Fusion... Activate!
|
| (Pearl quickly loses balance, and she and Rose collapse onto the ground.)
|
| Pearl
|
Oh! I thought- If a Ruby and a Sapphire- But you're a Diamond- Forgive me! What am I doing? I... I need to be replaced immediately!
|
| Rose
|
No!
|
| (Pearl begins blushing madly, while Rose gazes at her in awe.)
|
| Pearl
|
But I've been... imagining things, even when you haven't asked me to. I imagined that I ran away and met you here on Earth, a Rose Quartz. And I'm not yours, but, I make you so happy anyway! Isn't that ridiculous?! Tell me to stop!
|
| Rose
|
*grabs Pearl's shoulders excitedly* Please don't ever stop!
|
| (Pearl and Rose suddenly fuse into Rainbow Quartz, but she quickly brakes apart, and the pair collapse onto the ground again.)
|
| Pearl
|
This is very not allowed.
|
| Rose
|
*gasps* That fusion! We never should've left her there with Blue! Who knows what sort of horrible punishment-
|
| (Just then, a rustling is heard in some bushes nearby. Pearl, with a sword in hand, cautiously searches through the bushes and finds Garnet, having fallen down a hill.)
|
| Garnet
|
Ouch... Ah!
|
| (Garnet flinches at the sight of Pearl, as Rose walks towards them through the bushes.)
|
| Garnet
|
We didn't mean to fuse! Well... well, we did this time. We'll unfuse! We, we'll...
|
| Rose
|
No, no, please... I'm glad to see you again.
|
| [Trans. Rose's Fountain]
|
| (The flashback concludes, as it stops snowing and the ice around the sanctuary begins to thaw.)
|
| Pearl
|
Before Garnet, Rose was only fighting for Earth. But Garnet changed everything. Rose wanted to fight for her, she wanted to fight for Gems! And maybe she was foolish, and maybe even... selfish! But she was-
|
| Sapphire
|
Following us.
|
| Pearl
|
What?
|
| Sapphire
|
This whole time, we thought we were following her, but she was following us. How could she not after you swept her off her feet?
|
| Pearl
|
W-What? Me?
|
| Steven
|
Are you kidding? You took her on this whirlwind tour of Earth and then she wanted to live here with you forever!
|
| (Pearl begins blushing madly.)
|
| Sapphire
|
That's just how I felt when I came here with... *gasps* Ruby! Oh no! We have to get back right away!
|
| [Trans. Int. Beach House]
|
| (The group warps back to the dark-looking beach house.)
|
| Sapphire
|
Ruby! I'm so sorry! Where...? Huh?
|
| (Sapphire then sees a note on the floor with "Sapphire" written on it.)
|
| Sapphire
|
Oh no...
|
