Detective Steven and the Twisted Heist/Transcript

Scene 1: Steven's Favorite Detective Movie

 * [Steven is in his bed, flicking through different movies to watch on the TV]
 * Steven: Hm, what should I watch? Hard choice... [looks at Treasure Island] no... [looks at Tarzan] absolutely not!! [looks at The UnZappables] Ugh... [takes out phone and calls Connie] Hey, Connie...
 * Connie: Hey, Steven! What's up?
 * Steven: Well, I'm looking for movies to watch tonight... y'know, it's Friday night, might as well get in the spirit of it...
 * Connie: Hm... I recommend Hercules. It's amazing.
 * Steven: No, no, no, I'm not in the mood for an action movie. I actually want to watch a detective movie.
 * Connie: Sorry, I haven't seen a lot of detective movies, but my dad loves them and has a bunch of DVDs of them. I'll come over to your house to help you out.
 * Steven: Sounds like a good idea. Bye Connie!
 * Connie: Bye, Steven! [hangs up]
 * Steven: [sighs as he falls into his bed, and the camera slowly zooms into his brain, showing him imagining he was a detective]
 * K.O.: Steven! Detective Steven!! Help!!
 * Steven: [runs up] What's wrong, K.O.?
 * K.O.: Someone has kidnapped Dendy!
 * Steven: Really? I'm on the case. [looks around] Hm... no fingerprints... footprints, or anything, here! Damn, this suspect is tidy!
 * K.O.: Wait, look! [points at a note] A note!
 * Steven: A note? Notes are always interesting... [picks it up] It says... [reads note] "Bye, everyone! I had to go home to catch up on my coding. See you tomorrow! - Dendy" ...Huh, seems like we've solved the case! Dendy was the suspect! She left on her own!
 * K.O.: Thank you greatly, Detective Steven!
 * Steven: Oh, I couldn't have done it without you! [zooms out of his brain] Without you... without you...
 * [Connie is outside Steven's house]
 * Connie: Steven! Steven!! I brought detective movie DVDs!
 * Steven: Awesome! Come in.
 * [Connie is showing Steven the DVDs of detective movies]
 * Connie: Dick Tracy... Last Action Hero... Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase... Who Framed Roger Rabbit... and don't forget-
 * Steven: Wait, wait, wait!! Did you say... Who Framed Roger Rabbit? That's my favorite detective movie! I've only seen it once!! I could do almost anything to watch it again!!
 * Connie: Okay! Let's put that in! [hands Steven the DVD]
 * Steven: [puts in the DVD as the movie begins]
 * Connie: Let's watch.....
 * Steven: Okay. [falls into his bed as we zoom into his brain once again]
 * Tails: Steven! Detective Steven!!
 * Steven: I'm here!! What's wrong?
 * Tails: Someone stole Sonic's breakfast...
 * Steven: Hm... interesting, but not important enough for my attention.
 * Tails: Please, Steven!!
 * Steven: Oh, okay...
 * Tails: Thank you!
 * Steven: Right... I need to call Amy Rose, Knuckles, and Dr. Eggman.
 * Tails: Right.
 * Steven: [calls Amy Rose] Hey, Amy! Have you seen Sonic's breakfast?
 * Amy Rose: Uh... no?
 * Steven: Okay...
 * Amy Rose: Now leave me alone, I just woke up!! [hangs up]
 * Steven: Wasn't Amy Rose... next, Knuckles. [calls Knuckles] Hey, Knuckles... Sonic's breakfast has been stolen... do you have any idea where it is?
 * Knuckles: Sorry, man, but no, I haven't.
 * Steven: [groans as he hangs up and calls Dr. Eggman] Hey Eggman, have you seen Sonic's breakfast?
 * Dr. Eggman: What? No!! I'm eating my breakfast!! Eggs and bacon!! [hangs up]
 * Steven: [sighs] No lu- wait... what was Sonic having?
 * Tails: Eggs and bacon?
 * Steven: A-ha! It was Eggman! Eggman stole Sonic's breakfast!!
 * Tails: Thank you so much, Detective Steven!!
 * Steven: Uh... no problem.
 * Tails: I'm gonna run off to get Sonic's breakfast back. [runs off]
 * Steven: Well, at least I got the job done... [zooms out of his brain] Done... done...
 * Connie: Steven, wake up! This is the scene where Eddie and Roger are stuck in the house!
 * Steven: Oh! Okay!!
 * Connie: What's wrong?
 * Steven: I'm just a little tired, that's all...
 * Connie: Are you sure?
 * Steven: Yes!!
 * Connie: I don't believe you... tell me what's wrong... what's really wrong...
 * Steven: Well... I keep having these short dreams, where I imagine myself as a detective like Roger Rabbit himself...
 * Connie: Okay... continue...
 * Steven: I had one just a few minutes ago where K.O. thought someone kidnapped Dendy...
 * Connie: Go on...
 * Steven: And one after that where Dr. Eggman stole Sonic's breakfast...
 * Connie: Interesting. When did this start?
 * Steven: About a week ago...
 * Connie: Oh... okay.
 * Steven: I can't stop thinking about it.
 * Amethyst: [comes over] What's wrong, buddy?
 * Steven: Connie, may you explain?
 * Connie: Of course.
 * Amethyst: Well, speak up man.
 * Connie: Steven's been having these weird dreams where he would imagine that he was a detective, doing stuff like searching for Dendy, or finding Sonic's breakfast.
 * Amethyst: Huh, that's interesting.
 * Steven: Yep, interesting indeed... [camera zooms into his brain once again]
 * Trickshot: Steven! Detective Steven!! Help!!
 * Steven: [comes over] What's going on this time...
 * Trickshot: Pocket's sandwich is tuna, not bacon.
 * Steven: Ugh... listen, this is the forty-fifth time I've done this!
 * Trickshot: Uh...
 * Steven: TODAY!!
 * Trickshot: AARGH!! Okay, please do it?
 * Steven: Okay... sorry I lost my temper.
 * Trickshot: It's okay...
 * Steven: I can't seem to catch a break... [zooms out of his brain] Break... break... AAH! It happened again.
 * Amethyst: Hm. I'm gonna go tell Garnet and Pearl. [walks over to Garnet and Pearl]
 * Garnet: Hey, Amethyst!
 * Amethyst: Hi, guys.
 * Pearl: What's wrong?
 * Amethyst: Something's wrong with Steven. He keeps imagining that he's a detective, constantly. It's been going on for a while, too. I've noticed it.
 * Garnet: Hm... bring him over here.
 * Amethyst: Okay. [brings Steven over]
 * Steven: Hey, guys...
 * Garnet: Steven, what's this about imagining that you're a detective?
 * Steven: ...I can explain. These short dreams are really bugging me, and I hope they g- [zooms into his brain once again]
 * Nico: Steven! Detective Steven!! Help!!
 * Steven: [comes] WHAT NOW?!?!
 * Nico: I know you're not in the mood, but do you have ice cream?
 * Steven: NO!!!!!! [zooms out of his brain] No... no... AAH! There it was again!!
 * Garnet: Interesting... I have a good idea for a solution.
 * Pearl: What's that, exactly?
 * Garnet: The diamonds.

Scene 2: The Diamonds at Homeworld

 * [On Homeworld, Steven and the Crystal Gems arrived at Homeworld]
 * Steven: Are you sure about this?
 * Amethyst: Well, it was Garnet who decided this, not me, so I wouldn't know...
 * Steven: [sighs]
 * Pearl: Don't worry, Steven, we'll get this issue sorted out...
 * Steven: IT'S NOT AN ISSUE!! [turns pink]
 * Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl: [gasps]
 * Steven: [turns back to normal] Sorry, guys... I thought my pink powers were gone after you guys made me feel better when I was transformed into a monster.
 * Amethyst: It's okay, man, but you really gotta get this sorted out.
 * Steven: I suppose you're right...
 * [As a bunch of gems walk by, Spinel, comes through the door, finds Steven and the gems and greets them]
 * Spinel: Steven!! [runs up to him] Gee, it's so great to see you again!!
 * Steven: Yeah, greater than I expected....
 * Spinel: Ah, the Crystal Gems, so nice of you guys to drop by at Homeworld. So swell!!
 * Steven: Actually, we're here for a reason.
 * Garnet: He's been imagining that he was a detective by helping others, and it keeps coming back to him.
 * Spinel: Hm... I think the Diamonds can help with that.
 * Steven: That's what Garnet was saying.
 * Spinel: They're great at dealing with this sort of thing.
 * Steven: I remember last time I went to Homeworld for help...
 * Spinel: Yeah, me too... But for some reason you ran away from us.
 * Steven: I know, and I'm sorry. These days are behind me.
 * Spinel: Don't worry, it's ok.
 * Steven: I even remember causing a rampage in Beach City...
 * [Flashback]
 * Steven: [narrating] I kept running away from the others, not letting anyone know my secret, until they surrounded me, and that's when I let out my tantrum, I was corrupted, and then I transformed into a hideous monster... Then I started to wreck everything, and then you guys tried to stop me, by telling me how you guys feel, and that made me sad, then Connie kissed me, when I transformed back to my normal self while I was crying, feeling guilty about this....
 * [Flashback ends]
 * Spinel: Gee, that really was crazy...
 * Steven: Yeah, I know, I wish I could forget about that day...
 * Amethyst: So do us, man...
 * Pearl: It really was intense, and I'm glad you've learned to get calmer.
 * Garnet: Guys! Let's get back to the point.
 * Steven: Spinel, before we go see the diamonds, I just gotta ask, has anything like this happened to you before?
 * Spinel: ...What?
 * Steven: [sighs] I was gonna ask for advice...
 * Spinel: Don't worry, the diamonds have good advice.
 * Pearl: Good...
 * [Spinel, Steven and the Crystal Gems walkthrough Homeworld to get to the Diamonds]
 * Steven: Wow. Homeworld's really doing well here.
 * Spinel: I know, right? Some gems are calling it Era 4!
 * Steven: Really? We just moved into Era 3!! [laughs]
 * Spinel: Gee, the gems here can be crazy, sometimes...
 * Amethyst: So where are you taking us first Spinel?
 * Spinel: Well, I'm thinking we should see Blue first.
 * Steven: Blue it is, then.
 * Spinel: Blue will make you feel calm... Yellow will make you feel ready... and White will make you feel better.
 * Steven: Nice order.
 * Spinel: Thanks, she's this way.
 * Steven: So what are waiting for! Let's g- [zooms into his brain once again]
 * Sonic: Do you like bacon?
 * Nico: I WANT ICE CREAM!!!
 * Pocket: I HATE TUNA!!!
 * K.O.: Dendy has another note!
 * Sonic, Nico, Pocket, and K.O.: DETECTIVE STEVEN, HELP US!!!!!
 * Steven: I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [zooms out of his brain] Anymore... anymore...
 * Spinel: Let's just go see her.
 * [Steven is in Blue Diamond's room]
 * Blue Diamond: Okay... the gems were telling me to see you... why?
 * Steven: I keep having these weird, short dreams where I'd imagine I was a detective.
 * Blue Diamond: Hm, interesting.
 * Steven: Interesting, indeed.
 * Blue Diamond: Well, I have a perfect solution for that.
 * Garnet: What is it?
 * Pearl: Yeah.
 * Blue Diamond: Well, I'll be with Steven. You guys can leave.
 * [Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and Spinel leave]
 * Blue Diamond: Okay. Breathe in...
 * Steven: [inhales]
 * Blue Diamond: Breathe out.
 * Steven: [exhales]
 * Blue Diamond: Continue...
 * Steven: [inhales, then exhales, then inhales, then exhales, and repeats multiple times]
 * Blue Diamond: Okay. Now, lie down.
 * Steven: [lies down on the floor]
 * Blue Diamond: Finally, try to forget everything that comes into your mind. Block it out. Keep it clear.
 * Steven: Okay... [camera zooms into his brain]
 * [Nothing is happening, and the only one there is Steven]
 * Steven: Huh? What's going on? Hello?
 * [Nico suddenly comes into his brain]
 * Nico: ICE CR- [disappears]
 * Steven: Wha-? Nothing's happening... I finally got a break... why is Nico here all of a sudden?
 * [Trickshot suddenly comes into his brain]
 * Trickshot: What did I te- [disappears]
 * Steven: Oh, I get it... it's those thoughts! They creep into my brain, and I block them instantly... if only I could continue to do so... [zooms out of his brain]
 * Blue Diamond: Okay, Steven... do you feel better...?
 * Steven: [wakes up] Huh? Oh... kind of... I get the basics of it... whenever something comes into my mind...
 * Blue Diamond: You block it.
 * Steven: Yes, yes, yes...
 * Blue Diamond: Well, I suppose you could move on to Yellow Diamond now...
 * Steven: Yeah, she has pretty strong skills...
 * Blue Diamond: Yes, I suppose so...
 * Steven: Alright....
 * Spinel: [comes in] Hey, guys!
 * Steven: Hi!
 * Spinel: White Diamond's here with Yellow!
 * Pearl: Really?!
 * Garnet: Well, that makes sense...
 * White Diamond: Yellow Diamond wants you to go to her room.
 * Yellow Diamond: I'm gonna give you some motivation.
 * Steven: Okay.
 * Garnet: Good luck.
 * [At Yellow Diamond's room]
 * Steven: Uh... hi.
 * Yellow Diamond: Hello... Did Blue Diamond make you feel more relaxed?
 * Steven: Yeah...
 * Yellow Diamond: Good.
 * Steven: ...So, what next?
 * Yellow Diamond: I suppose, we could make you feel like you're ready. Energize you.
 * Steven: Sounds like a good idea, but how are we gonna do that?
 * Yellow Diamond: Let it out.
 * Steven: Wha-?
 * Yellow Diamond: Let everything out. You've cleared your mind. Now it's time to clear your body.
 * Steven: How, exactly?
 * Yellow Diamond: Climb all the way to the ceiling. [points to the ceiling]
 * Steven: Easy, I could just float up there...
 * Yellow Diamond: Without floating.
 * Steven: W-what?! That- ...I can't do that...
 * Yellow Diamond: I believe you can... remember how you climbed Spinel's giant drill?
 * Steven: ...Oh yeah... but that's because my body was really forcing it, it won't work here!!
 * Yellow Diamond: Oh, it will...
 * Steven: You sure about this? I'm a little nervous...
 * Yellow Diamond: Yes I am... trust me.
 * Steven: Fine. Let's do it.
 * [Montage of Steven trying to climb the wall but falling over]
 * Yellow Diamond: [sighs] Try harder!!
 * Steven: I'm trying!! [turns pink]
 * Yellow Diamond: [gasps]
 * Steven: [turns back to normal] Oops, sorry...
 * Yellow Diamond: It's okay... continue!!
 * Steven: Okay! Okay!! [he finally does it]
 * Yellow Diamond: Woah...
 * Steven: I did it! I climbed to the ceiling! I completed the challenge!! Now what?
 * Yellow Diamond: Just stay there.
 * Steven: Huh?
 * Yellow Diamond: If you get down, where's the proudness of it all, the challenge, the power?
 * Steven: Uh...
 * Yellow Diamond: [sighs] What I'm saying is that you should just stay there.
 * Steven: Ok? [falls] WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH [hits the ground] Oof! Uh... or not...
 * [Spinel and the others come in]
 * Spinel: Did it work?
 * Steven: S-sorta. I do feel ready. [punches the air] Ha! Yeah, I do! I certainly feel ready! I LOVE IT!!!
 * Yellow Diamond: Ha-ha!!
 * Garnet: Now it's time to go see White Diamond.
 * Pearl: Yep.
 * Amethyst: Let's go.
 * Steven: WILL YOU GUYS JUST LET ME TAKE MY TIME ALREADY!!! [turns pink]
 * Garnet: Steven, there it is again, you have to stop!!
 * Steven: [turns back to normal] Sorry... it's like I can't control this...
 * Amethyst: Dude, what's the matter with you?! We already healed you after you turned into a monster and now your pink powers are back! How did that come back to you?!
 * Steven: I.... I had no idea....
 * Pearl: We'll worry about that later... For now, let's go see White Diamond, she's probably waiting.
 * Steven: Good idea. Let's go.
 * Spinel: Right this way, my friends!
 * Steven: Okay.
 * [They come to a door and stare at it for a few seconds]
 * Steven: What's going on? Why isn't it opening?
 * Spinel: White Diamond came up with a password.
 * Steven: Uh, what password?
 * Spinel: [whispers at the door] Spinel...
 * [The door opens]
 * Steven: Spinel, making the password your name isn't very clever.
 * Spinel: I know, I know...
 * Steven: [sighs]
 * Spinel: Well good luck, Steven...
 * [Steven enters White Diamond's room]
 * White Diamond: Why, hello, there, Steven.
 * Steven: Uh... hi?
 * White Diamond: Well, then... What brings you here?
 * Steven: I keep having these weird dreams that I'm a detective... it's been going on for a week... it's making my pink powers come back, too.... [sighs] Could you do anything to help?
 * White Diamond: Hmmmm... oh, I know...
 * Steven: Anything, White Diamond.
 * White Diamond: Well, why don't you try to meditate for a while...
 * Steven: That sounds great! But how?
 * White Diamond: For example, relax and think of all the things you like...
 * Steven: Hm... that's... uh...
 * White Diamond: Let's begin shall we? [sighs]
 * Steven: Alright... [meditates]
 * White Diamond: How do you feel?
 * Steven: G-great, better. Does that mean I can go, now?
 * White Diamond: No, this is just the beginning.
 * Steven: Well, what next?
 * White Diamond: Hm... Think of all your favorite things that happened in your childhood.
 * Steven: Oh! Really?
 * White Diamond: Yes.
 * Steven: Okay then... [thinks] Now, he-he, what comes to mind? I... I guess there's the time where all guys saved me at the... when, I... was a monster- no!! Don't think about that, me... I ain't comfortable with that...
 * White Diamond: You okay, li'l guy?
 * Steven: Y-yeah, I'm fine...
 * White Diamond: Doesn't look like it...
 * Steven: Trust me, I'm doing great!!
 * White Diamond: Listen here, you little... ugh, whatever... As I was saying, listen here, I know something is wrong when I see it.
 * Steven: Oh, really...
 * White Diamond: Yes... [holds Steven up]
 * Steven: Geez, so much for "think of all your fa"-
 * White Diamond: I'm not doing this to harm you... I'm doing this out of love.
 * Steven: Right... out of love.
 * White Diamond: Okay, meditation number three... AKA, "the last one", but of course, you're welcome to come back any time...
 * Steven: Now what?
 * White Diamond: Our last mediation... feel as if your body is light as a pebble?
 * Steven: [looks around] No, not really...
 * White Diamond: Are you sure...?
 * Steven: No, I'm not as- [feels light] actually... I do.
 * White Diamond: Well, that's good... you will begin to float.
 * Steven: WHA-?!
 * White Diamond: Calm down, it ain't a big deal...
 * Steven: O-ok... if you say so... [he starts to float] Oh boy, there it is...
 * White Diamond: Yeah. Yeah.
 * Steven: It's... it's weird.
 * White Diamond: Good. Then, you'll feel all the thoughts flee from your mind.
 * Steven: [thinks] Hm...
 * White Diamond: There, there...
 * Steven: I wonder when- [he stops thinking]
 * White Diamond: It's happening, yes?
 * Steven: [stares at her with a blank face]
 * White Diamond: That's what I thought.
 * [They stare at each other]
 * White Diamond: You can stop, now...
 * Steven: [starts thinking again] Okay...
 * White Diamond: Better, now?
 * Steven: Yeah! I haven't had any detective issues since.
 * White Diamond: Right. You can go, now.
 * Steven: Of course.
 * [The door opens]
 * Spinel: How did it go?
 * Steven: It went great!! I feel so much better...
 * Spinel: Well, it seems as if you can go back home for now...
 * Garnet: Spinel's right. Let's go, Steven.
 * Steven: Coming! [runs up to them]
 * Pearl: Thank you so much for your help, White Diamond.
 * White Diamond: No problem. Like I said, you can see me anytime you want.
 * Steven: Oh, I think we're quite okay, for now...
 * White Diamond: Well, okay, then... off you go.
 * [They walk through the hallway]
 * Steven: Goodbye, White Diamond! Goodbye, Spinel! [waves goodbye]
 * White Diamond and Spinel: Bye! [They wave goodbye, as Spinel leaves the scene to entertain more gems, and the door closes]
 * Steven: Ah, all fixed. What did you guys do while I was gone?
 * Garnet: Well, Spinel had a blast telling us jokes.
 * Pearl: Yes, it was good at first, but then it got old...
 * Amethyst: You guys have your own opinion, but I enjoyed it!!
 * Pearl: Well, that's gr-
 * White Diamond: [off-screen, she screams in pain]
 * [The gems stop for a second]
 * Steven: Oh no...

Scene 3: Testimony No. 1

 * [Four incompetent spies, Viktor, Natasha, Pierre and Lorraine are standing in the streets of New Sanfranyorkyo, as text appears, saying "One month earlier"]
 * Natasha: How many times must I tell you, the diamond exists! See, that Mr. Universe guy, he had something sorta familiar in his bellybutton.
 * Pierre: Listen up, Mrs. Einstein, I know everything there is to know about the diamond, and lemme just tell you that it ain't real, you better believe me...
 * Natasha: Nope, wrong... anyway, I was the one who actually watched the footage caught by Killborne.
 * Pierre: Killborne?! The legendary Killborne let you watch his foota- ugh, what a-
 * Viktor: GUYS!! We're wasting time here because of your arrogance. Lemme just say, Natasha's right, Pierre, you're wrong.
 * Pierre: What the-? Who on Jiminy Cricket's court said I was wrong?!
 * Lorraine: Mr. Killborne!!
 * Pierre: I know it seems obvious that it was him, but, think about it, surely everything he says isn't the truth...
 * Viktor: IT IS!!! Why else would they call him "Testimony No. 1"?
 * Natasha: Must we seriously be visited by the guy again...?
 * Viktor: Well, if y'all continue complaining, then, yes!
 * Natasha: Viktor's right, so let's just be quiet... for once.
 * Pierre: It's hard, when-
 * Viktor: I've had enough of putting up with you guys!
 * Lorraine: We've had enough of putting up with you!!
 * Viktor: THEN I MIGHT AS WELL LEAVE!!
 * Pierre: Fine!
 * Viktor: [sighs, as he leaves the scene]
 * Natasha: I'm glad someone doesn't want to argue, unlike you, Pierre!!
 * Pierre: [groans] Let's just- WHATEVER!! [leaves the scene]
 * Lorraine: Now what, Natasha? They're gone.
 * Natasha: Great, I know. I have to go see Mr. Killborne, now. He wants me to cover his footage.
 * Lorraine: May I join you?
 * Natasha: No.
 * Lorraine: W-why?
 * Natasha: You have to go look after those guys and make sure they don't start a ruckus.
 * Lorraine: Right. [leaves the scene]
 * [Meanwhile, Viktor and Pierre are arguing]
 * Viktor: [sighs] Listen, I don't wanna stand around here arguing with y-
 * Pierre: Then go.
 * Viktor: I can't! Don't you know we're still technically doing the mission?!
 * Pierre: OF COURSE I KNOW!! I know everything, because my IQ might as well be 100 times yours.
 * Viktor: Well, that's why I don't wanna stick with you. Right or wrong?!
 * Pierre: Right.
 * Viktor: Wrong!! Got ya!!
 * Pierre: [groans] I hate you!!
 * Viktor: [sighs]
 * Pierre: And I believe you hate me back...
 * [Lorraine comes]
 * Lorraine: Hey, you guys. You better not continue arguing while Natasha's gone.
 * Pierre: Well, guess what, we are.
 * Viktor: Oh, please...
 * Lorraine: [whispers] I hate my job...
 * [Natasha is walking through the streets and meets up with John Killborne's bodyguards, Mike and Doug]
 * Mike: Greetings, ma'am.
 * Natasha: Hey, you two.
 * Doug: May we bring you to John himself?
 * Natasha: Of course...
 * Doug: Very well... come here, Natasha.
 * [Mike, Doug and Natasha walk to John's office, talking meanwhile]
 * Natasha: Mike... can I tell you something?
 * Mike: Go on...
 * Natasha: I've always wanted to be an apprentice of Killborne instead of some dumb spy like Lorraine, Pierre and Viktor...
 * Mike: Listen, ma'am... you are a very busy woman. I'd expect to see you somewhat happy you're not out in the big business like us.
 * Natasha: I'd enjoy it more if I didn't hate my teammates so much.
 * Mike: I'm afraid to tell anyone this, but I was just like you.
 * Natasha: You were?
 * Mike: Yes... I was stuck as some investigator in the beginning. Then, when Killborne noticed my capabilities, he made me one of his bodyguards... perhaps the same could happen to you.
 * Natasha: One day...
 * Mike: I'll make sure that one day is very soon.
 * Natasha: He-he, thanks.
 * Mike: No problem. Doug also went through the same thing.
 * Doug: It's true...
 * Natasha: Huh. I had no idea.
 * Mike: Anyway, let's stop distracting ourselves and get going to John.
 * Natasha: Oh right... Well let's go see him then...
 * Doug: Mm-hm...
 * [At John's office, John is talking with his friend Andy over the phone about the footage of Steven at the tournament]
 * John Killborne: What do you think of it, Andy?
 * Andy: Quite amusing, actually... what human being would stick a rose quartz in their bellybutton?! Th-that's just gonna be crammed in there forever, right?
 * John Killborne: Ah, I don't think he put it in there...
 * Andy: You don't? Well, agree to disagree. Typical John.
 * John Killborne: He-he, I'm always right. Unlike that Pierre guy.
 * Andy: Agreed.
 * John Killborne: Very much agreed.
 * Andy: Mm-hm.
 * [Doug, Natasha, and Mike come in]
 * Doug: Hey, Mr. Killborne.
 * John Killborne: Hi.
 * [They both shake hands]
 * John Killborne: Good to meet you again.
 * Doug: We're here to go over the footage.
 * John Killborne: It did not disappoint.
 * Doug: Right, right. I've got Natasha with me.
 * Natasha: I'm here.
 * Mike: Don't forget about me, sir.
 * John Killborne: Ah, yes, you too Mike. [shakes his hand]
 * Doug: I suppose you could show us.
 * Mike: Y-yeah.
 * John Killborne: Of course. Follow me, everyone.
 * Natasha: Okay.
 * [Everyone followed John Killborne to his computer]
 * John Killborne: I showed this to my friend, Andy... He was confused why Mr. Universe had a rose quartz stuck in his bellybutton.
 * Natasha: I can't blame him...
 * Mike: Me neither, ma'am.
 * Doug: Now let's see the footage.
 * John Killborne: Right. [turns the footage on]
 * Steven: [In footage] Amazing, right?
 * Garnet: [In footage] This is exactly what I predicted.
 * Steven: [In footage] He-he.
 * Pearl: [In footage] Well, I suppose we could go that way... [points left]
 * Amethyst: [In footage] Good idea.
 * Steven: [In footage] C'mon, let's go.
 * [They leave the scene as the footage ends]
 * John Killborne: D-did you see it?
 * Mike: Not quite, Mr. Killborne, sir.
 * John Killborne: You didn't? Right when he said "he-he" I swear you could see it... [replays the clip of Steven saying "he-he"]
 * Mike: Oh, now I see it... don't you, Natasha, ma'am?
 * Natasha: I do... very weird, d-don't you think?
 * Doug: I do... there has to be some connection between that diamond and the guy.
 * John Killborne: Hm...
 * [They play a different piece of footage]
 * Grotto: [in footage, narrating] We were both babies... he was two years older than me... he was two... I was yet to be one... we had a nice dynamic... but over time... he started being mean to me, and all my brothers and sisters at the time... then, our parents were killed... we had no idea who did it, and were homeless for many years... we did notice that my older brother was nowhere to be found... so we did some investigating... we were shocked when we found out that he was the one who killed our mom and dad... I was especially betrayed... We had no friends but each other... I was so sad that I left the group... but then Trickshot and Pocket met me and gave me my lily pad... I was happy for the first time in ages.
 * [The footage ends]
 * Doug: God, I have so many questions...
 * John Killborne: Ask away...
 * Doug: What's going on?! What brother is he talking about?! And why is he talking?!?! He's a frog!!
 * Mike: Well, I mean Roger talks...
 * Natasha: Yeah, Doug. Take it easy.
 * John Killborne: Now, do you see anything along the lines of... y'know, weird, in there?
 * Doug: Aside the talking frog and all the other creatures? Nah, not really...
 * Natasha: Hm, well, I guess I see his bellybutton again.
 * Mike: I mean, that counts, right?
 * John Killborne: Yes, of course...
