Steven Universe: The Tournament/Transcript

The Big Donut

 * [Steven is walking towards the Big Donut]


 * Steven: Ah, what a nice day to get a donut.
 * [He enters the Big Donut]
 * Sadie: Oh! Hey Steven!
 * Steven: Oh, hi Sadie! I thought Dewey ran the Big Donut now?
 * Sadie: I decided to come back, I was missing my job.
 * Steven: Oh, that's cool.
 * Sadie: So? What do you want?
 * Steven: I notice a new one's on the board. Hm.. [reads it out] "Sporty Glazed Donuts - sponsored by the olympians of the Great Cartoon Championships, A.K.A GCC" What's the Great Cartoon Championships?
 * Sadie: Oh, it's just some silly event that's happening.
 * Steven: I'm interested, tell me more!
 * Sadie: Well, okay. The GCC is- [she is interrupted by Buck coming in]
 * Buck: Hey, Sadie.
 * Sadie: Oh, um, hey, Buck. Want a donut?
 * Buck: Sure. I'd like a Sporty Glazed Donut please.
 * Sadie: Oh! Going to the GCC?
 * Buck: Yeah. I'm so excited. It only happens once every twenty years. I can't wait to see the Nickolympians compete. If only I could actually take part in the tournament.
 * Steven: [thinking] What is this tournament everybody's talking about? It sounds intriguing.
 * Buck: [takes his donut] Thank you.
 * Sadie: No problem. Have a nice time at the tournament this Friday!
 * Buck: Thank you Sadie. Bye. [leaves the Big Donut]
 * Steven: [leaves the Big Donut]

What Are These Flyers?

 * [Steven is at home]
 * Steven: Hey guys, I'm back!
 * Amethyst: Hey dude, what's up?
 * Steven: Do any of you guys know about the tournament?
 * Pearl: No, why is there?
 * Steven: I looked at the board in The Big Donut and it says "Sporty Glazed Donuts - sponsored by the olympians of the Great Cartoon Championships, A.K.A GCC". Then Buck mentioned something about Nickolympians competing, I mean I had no idea what he's talking about.
 * Pearl: What do you make of it Garnet?
 * Garnet: Well... I think they're talking about the massive tournament that I've been going to for years. Here, look at this. [hands Steven the flyer]
 * Steven: These are the flyers I've been seeing all around town for a few days now. I have no idea what they say, it makes no sense.
 * Garnet: They do once you put a little thought into them.
 * Steven: Huh? What does thought have to do with any of it?
 * Garnet: Steven, what's the first letter you see on the flyer?
 * Steven: Uh... G?
 * Garnet: Second?
 * Steven: S?
 * Garnet: Third?
 * Steven: V?
 * Garnet: Now, I'll be back in a second...
 * [A few minutes later, Garnet comes back with an Atbash decoder]
 * Steven: What's that?
 * Garnet: It's an Atbash decoder.
 * Steven: What's Atbash?
 * Garnet: It's a type of code. Take A, then write under Z, take B, than write under Y, take C, than write under X, and so on, so on, so on.
 * Steven: Ah. [decodes the message on the flyer, decoded it reads: "THE GREAT CARTOON CHAMPIONSHIPS ARE TAKING PLACE THIS FRIDAY - FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TWENTY YEARS! BE THERE! MEET OTHER CARTOON CHARACTERS! COMPETE TO BE THE BEST!"
 * Amethyst: That sounds cool!
 * Steven: Yeah!
 * Garnet: These flyers disappear tomorrow.
 * Steven: Why?
 * Garnet: Because they're not just flyers. They're actually invitations!
 * Steven: Does that mean... we're invited?
 * Garnet: Well, I guess so.
 * Steven: AWESOME!!!

Meeting Lapis, Peridot and Bismuth

 * [At Little Homeschool]
 * Bismuth: Right... 98% on the Construction installment.
 * Peridot: That's awesome! Almost complete.
 * Lapis Lazuli: We're making real progress. I'm proud.
 * Bismuth: And we won't stop any time soon.
 * Steven: Hey guys! Have you seen these flyers?
 * Bismuth: Flyers? Flyers for what?
 * Steven: [hands Bismuth a flyer]
 * Bismuth: Oh yes! I've always wanted to go to one of these.
 * Steven: Well, here's your chance! Don't waste it.
 * Bismuth: Ha! Why would I?
 * Peridot: [snatches flyer] Lemme see...
 * Bismuth: [angry] Peridot!
 * Peridot: Wow! I've always wanted to go into one of these, but nobody would let me because I was so scary. Now that I'm not scary anymore, they better let me in.
 * Lapis Lazuli: What are those?
 * Steven: They're invitations to the Great Cartoon Championships!
 * Peridot: Hey, Lapis, how come you've never been to one of those?
 * Lapis Lazuli: [gasps] [sad]
 * Peridot: What?
 * Lapis Lazuli: [flies away in tears]
 * Peridot: Why's she so dramatic? I was just asking her a question.
 * Steven: Don't you remember? She couldn't've gone to the tournament because she was stuck in the mirror!
 * Peridot: Oh no! I'm so sorry for bringing that up...
 * Steven: It's fine. Let's go cheer her up, shall we?
 * Peridot: Okay, let's go.

Cheer Up, Lapis

 * [Somewhere in the forest, Lapis Lazuli was crying because she's been trapped in the mirror]
 * Lapis Lazuli: Why is it always me?
 * [Steven, Peridot and Bismuth fly over]
 * Steven: Lapis? Are you okay?
 * Lapis Lazuli: No... I get really sad whenever somebody brings it up.
 * Peridot: I'm so sorry. I forgot.
 * Bismuth: Yeah.
 * Steven: We're here for you. All the time.
 * Lapis Lazuli: But what if it happens again one day?
 * Steven: It won't. We promise. Right, guys?
 * Peridot: [nods]
 * Bismuth: [nods]
 * Lapis Lazuli: Well... uh, okay. I guess those times of despair and pain are over.

There's Gonna Be A Tournament, And Everyone's Invited!!

 * Steven: Ah, it's so nice to get a little bit of relaxation before the tournament.
 * Lapis Lazuli: Mm-hm.
 * Peridot: Do you think it's gonna be just me, you, Lapis, Bismuth, Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl?
 * Jasper: [off-screen] Heck no!
 * [Jasper appears out of a giant vortex, with Spinel on her shoulder]
 * Spinel: Hey guys!
 * Steven: Hey Spinel! Hey Jasper! So you want to come to the tournament with us?
 * Jasper: Yeah. Guess what, it's not just us who wants to go to the tournament, it's a bunch of different cartoons from all around the world!
 * Steven: So, I can see my friends, like K.O.?
 * Jasper: Much more than that. A yellow guy name SpongeBob is coming!
 * Spinel: Yeah! I can't believe it! He was the winner last time!
 * Steven: Hold up, guys, who is SpongeBob?
 * Jasper: He's the star of a show called Spongebob Squarepants!!
 * Steven: I never heard of him before.
 * Spinel: He's playing as a Nickolympian!
 * Steven: Huh... I heard Buck talk about Nickolympians at the Big Donut... what exactly are Nickolympians?
 * Jasper: Nickolympians are contestants of the tournament that are from the cartoon channel, Nickelodeon.
 * Steven: There's more than one cartoon channel? Heck, I thought CN was the only one!
 * Jasper: Oh, no. There's a whole bunch of them! Wait 'till you meet the characters from shows on Nick Jr.!
 * Steven: Wow! This tournament really does seem like a bunch of fun.
 * Jasper: To watch, yes, to take part in, well, that's where the difficulty comes in. Competing with other cartoon characters also means competing with giant monsters.
 * Steven: Eh, I'll probably... uh... just watch then. Where exactly is this tournament taking place?
 * Jasper: It's taking place in New Sanfranyorkyo.
 * Steven: I never heard of that place before.
 * Jasper: You can't take the vortex there, it's too far away for that.
 * Steven: Then how do we get there?
 * Jasper: We have to take the plane from Empire City Airport.
 * Steven: I'm so excited for this tournament, I can't just talk about it... I could SING about it!
 * Steven: [singing] At the Big Donut on a casual day, doin' my casual stuff, in my casual way, I find a new donut on the board, but I'd never seen that one before...
 * Peridot: [singing] Sporty Glazed Donuts, that's the name, and after that things just weren't the same, because the news started to drip that there would be a championship!

 * Mr. Hasashi: Unfortunately, I can't go to the tournament, because I have to run the bar.
 * Peridot: It's not like anyone's going to be going there that day.
 * Mr. Hasashi: That's why I'm sad. Nobody's gonna come, and I'm gonna make no money. Oh, and also, I won't be able to go to the tournament I've been awaiting for twenty years.
