This is ridiculous! 4,000 years of loyal service to the court, and this is what I get? Oh, I'm the unluckiest Zircon in the galaxy! |

Steven: It's a long story. |

—"The Trial" |
“ |
Ugh! Who am I kidding? This is pointless! We've all heard the rumors about the demise of Pink Diamond, but I can't believe these files. Shattered by one of her own soldiers- Ugh! In front of her entire entourage!? *turns to Steven* And look at you now! That ridiculous disguise is only going to make you look more guilty! |

“ |
What did you think was going to happen, Rose Quartz!? As soon as that door opens, you're going on trial! |

“ |
I was assigned to this! |

—"The Trial" |
“ |
Right! *nervously* Well uh, before I start my very... uh, thought-out defense, I'd like to remind the court that Rose Quartz did turn herself in. |
” |
—"The Trial" |
“ |
What are you saying in there?! "Maybe" this, "probably" that! Oh, what do you mean "probably"?! |
” |
—"The Trial" |
“ |
You don't know how it happened... I get it. There's a reason they want you to explain how you did it. |
” |
—"The Trial" |
“ |
But the question no one seems to be asking is, "how"? |
” |
—"The Trial" |
“ |
B-Because at that time that Pink was shattered, Rose Quartz had been a recognized threat for several hundred years. There were no Rose Quartz soldiers in her entourage and none in her guard. So how did a Rose Quartz, with no business being anywhere near Pink Diamond, get so close in the first place? Where were Pink Diamond's attendants? Her Agates, Her Sapphires? And where was her Pearl? |
” |
—"The Trial" |
“ |
But none of them saw Rose Quartz approach? Wouldn't her Sapphires have seen Rose Quartz coming? Wouldn't her Agates have tried to fight her off? |
” |
—"The Trial" |
“ |
Even if she did, wouldn't her Pearl have cried out an alarm, "Watch out, My Diamond!" No, whoever did this was already close to Pink Diamond. Someone her guards would allow to get near her, someone she would listen to when asked to stop her palanquin and step outside, and someone with the authority to cover it up afterwards! Someone with supreme authority... Someone... like one of you! |
” |
—"The Trial" |
“ |
Uh, disregard that last statement! I might have gotten carried away! |
