Steven Universe (2013) s03e15 Episode Script

Alone at Sea

1 I'm starting to guess the surprise, Steven.
I told you to close your eyes! [Laughs.]
Sorry.
Okay, wait here! Both: Surprise! [Bubble pipe buzzes.]
Hm.
We bought a boat! Uh, correction we rented a boat.
I may be rich, but buying a boat would be going a bit overboard.
Ayyy.
Ayyyyy.
Both: Ayyyyy! Just a joke I picked up from some sailors.
They have a surprisingly clean sense of humor.
Steven, who is this? Uh, Greg Universe.
You broke my leg trying to use the ocean to fly back to your homeworld.
Lapis Lazuli.
Nice to meet you.
Great! Well, I'll get the boat started.
So what do you think? It's nice, Steven but I don't know.
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.
It was more than one.
Just give it a chance.
I promise we'll make this the most fun you've ever had.
Steven, I don't deserve this.
Of course you do! We even named her Li'l Lappy.
[Snorts, laughs.]
Okay.
I'll give it a chance.
But, just one.
Whoa! [Laughs.]
You two ready to set sail? Aye, aye, Captain! Yes.
[Horn honks.]
Full speed ahe Whoa! [Crash.]
Ah, geez, you think anyone will notice? 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? I shouldn't.
Go for it, Lapis.
Don't put me in charge! Oh, sorry.
I mean, y-you shouldn't trust me with the boat.
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, you can still wear the hat, if you want.
Thanks, but I'm not putting that on my body.
Let's set a course for f-u-u-un! [Upbeat music plays.]
[Horn honks.]
[Both laugh.]
[Horn honking.]
[Chuckles, groans.]
Dad! Dad! Hey, you two.
Finally get enough of that horn? What?! [Chuckles.]
What are you doing? Catching fish.
Oh, I can help! [Sighs.]
[Gasps.]
What the?! Whoa.
That's a pretty uh fancy way of catching fish.
That's 'cause Lapis is supa' strong! Well, I, uh, appreciate the gesture, but I-I think it would be safer to stick to the old-fashioned way of doing it.
Oh, uh sure.
Both: Whoa! [Boat creaks.]
Wow, Lapis! That was ama zing So, how do you fish the old-fashioned way? 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! But why would a fish ever bite a hook? 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.
Fishing.
[Thump.]
When does the fish part happen? Well, sometimes it isn't about the fish you keep, but the company you catch.
Whoa! I got a bite.
[Gasps.]
Lapis, here! Give it a try! Hold it just like that and reel it in slowly.
Like this? [Reel clicking.]
You got it.
It looks like a big one! [Reel clicks, zips.]
Whoa! Lapis! Steven! [Grunts.]
You got it, Lapis! Reel it in! [Straining.]
It's pulling so hard! [Gasps.]
[Sighs.]
Looks like this pole rental turned into a pole purchase.
But you did a great job tangling with that beast.
Y-Yeah.
Don't worry about that one getting away.
Oh, thank you.
Welp, that's my adventure quota for the day.
I'll be at the controls.
Holler if you need me.
Yes, sir! Lapis, what do you Lapis? Hey.
Whatcha doing? I just thought I'd sit for a bit.
You looked like a real pro fisher before the pole snapped.
Thanks.
Hmm.
So, fishing was a bust.
But I-I got something that'll cheer you up.
Shuffleboard! What do you say? [Crash.]
Aah! Ugh! [Groans.]
What was that? [Crash.]
Aah! Are you okay? Yeah.
What's going on? Greg: Steven! You got a moment? Is everything okay, First Mate Dad? Shh! You hear that? Uhhh no.
I guess it stopped.
I think something's wrong with the boat.
[Wheel clicks.]
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.
Well, what crackers go with caviar? Water crackers.
Both: Ayyyyyyyyyyyy! [Muffled thumping.]
[Gasps.]
There it is.
[Rumbling.]
[Crash.]
[Both coughing.]
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.
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.
[Sighs.]
[Sighs.]
I'm so sorry! This whole thing is my fault.
I just wanted you to have fun.
but e-everything's a mess.
I shouldn't have made you come on this trip.
It's my fault.
I'm the one to blame.
That's not true.
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.
But it's not like that anymore.
You don't have to be with Jasper.
That's not it.
I I miss her.
What?! [Sighs.]
We were fused for so long.
But she's terrible.
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! [Rumble, boat creaks.]
[Rumble.]
Whoa! [Chain clanking, clacking.]
[Gasps.]
Finally! [Thunder crashes.]
Both: Jasper! I thought I'd never catch up to you! You've been following us? I've been following you.
[Gasps.]
Stay back! [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.
That's not true.
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.
I Lapis doesn't want anything to do with you! This is between us! [Groans.]
Steven! [Grunts.]
Let's be Malachite again.
[Thunder crashes.]
Why would you want that? I was wrong about fusion.
You made me understand! Malachite was bigger and stronger than both of us! We could fly! Lapis, don't listen to her! - Stay out of this! - I was terrible to you.
I liked taking everything out on you.
I needed to.
I-I hated you.
It was bad! 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.
[Gasps.]
Together, we'll be unstoppable! No.
What? What we had wasn't healthy.
I never want to feel like I felt with you never again! So just go.
Lapis! She said, "No"! Leave her alone! This is your fault.
[Growls.]
I'll shatter you! [Gasps.]
[Gasps.]
[Grunts.]
Lapis, you did it! Are you two okay?! What?! [Boat creaking, groaning.]
What happened? Uh, it's kind of a long story.
I guess I bought a boat after all.
Ehh, sorry, Dad.
But, hey, the ocean's really beautiful from up here.
Yeah.
It is.
If I could begin to do Something that does right by you I would do about anything I would even learn how to love
