"♫ We... are the crystal gems, we'll always save the day, ♫" "♫ And if you think we can't, we'll always find a way, ♫" "♫ That's why the people of this world believe in, ♫" "♫ Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl... and Steven!" "♫" "Episode 4a "Bubble buddies"" "I don't think they are earthquakes, they are too frequent." "Hey, look, Steven's got a bike." "Where are you going, Steven?" "Just our for a ride." "In the sand?" "Yup." "Some smooth ride." "Five speeds..." "Handbrakes..." "Electric-blue finish with the tiger bell." "I bet there are lot of kids who would love to ride this babe." "What up?" "Who were you talking to?" "That girl." "You saw?" "She is just a girl I know." "Except she doesn't know me." "We've never talked." "You like her!" "I like everyone." "Let's set up a play date." "I'll write up an invitation and work out a schedule." "Oh, we'll have to find out her favorite kind of tea..." "No." "Just talk to her." "Okay." "But you guys can't watch this time!" "It'll mess up my funky flow!" "Funky flow?" "We won't watch." "All right." "What's that?" "Nothing." "Hi!" "My name is Steven." "Hi!" "My name is Steven." "Hi!" "My name is..." "Stephen." "Hey!" "My name is Steven!" "How did I do that?" "Hi!" "My name... is Steven!" "Connie." "What... happened?" "I'm magic." "Well, half-magic - I'm my mom's son." "You did this?" "Apparently." "I'm a member of the Crystal Gems, we fight monsters and protect humanity and stuff." "Oh, that's kinda like my dad." "He's a cop." "Well, more like a private security guard." "Sooo... how long does it usually last?" "Oh, right." "What's wrong?" "It, uhh... doesn't seem to wanna go away." "Oh..." "So, I don't see you around that often." "My dad works for a bunch of different beaches, so we are never in the same place long." "I go on adventures with the Gems sometimes." "They usually say it's too dangerous for me though." "Do you always go in a bubble?" "No." "This is new." "I don't know what this is." "But it's okay!" "The Gems will know what to do." "Ohh, what?" "Hey, guys!" "Garnet, help!" "I don't think they can hear you." "Oh, that's right." "I told them not to watch." "We can just wait here until they come out." "No, no, no, it's okay!" "I've got other friends that can help!" "Way to go, Steven." "Is this your magic love bubble or something?" "Did you make it because you love..." "That's Lars." "We are basically BFFs." "He makes weird faces." "Lars, quit being a jerk and help!" "What?" "I'm helping Steven on his date." "You're embarrassing him." "Oh, I'm not..." "He and Sadie run the Big Donut." "Do they get along?" "They're crazy about each other." "I'm gonna go try something else." "Anyway, this place has the best donuts." "I come here like every day." "My parents don't let me eat donuts." "They have trans fats." "Whaaaat?" "Well, it's still a cool place to hang out." "I have a better idea." "Whoa, a trawler." "And a little skipjack!" "You know a lot about boats." "That's what happens when you hang out at the beach, and don't swim, and don't have friends." "Y-You look at boats." "Oh, hey!" "Onion!" "Onion!" "We need a harpoon gun!" "What?" "To pop the bubble!" "Can't we just go back to your house?" "It's okay." "I'm a Gem." "Onion, we need a harpoon gun!" "Har... poon... guuuun!" "Haaaar... poooon... guuun." "Let me try!" "It just made more sense." "The trawler..." "Funland?" "Yeah!" "Tons of horrible accidents happen here everyday!" "There's gotta be something to break this bubble." "We just gotta find the right ride." "Yeah!" "The kiddie-coaster!" "All right." "We just roll down this ramp, as the carts are coming at us." "And the crash will break us free!" "What happens after the bubble pops?" "We'll be free!" "Steven, this is a bad idea." "This will work!" "Where are we?" "The bottom of the ocean." "It's okay!" "Are we even close to the shore?" "Yeah, sure." "Let's start rolling." "It's a good thing this bubble is airtight." "Otherwise we'd be drowning right now." "Don't worry, Connie." "I have an idea that will definitely work." "When we get back..." "A huge worm!" "It's okay!" "Look!" "It only wants to eat that bright stuff." "See?" "Not scary at all!" "Sorry!" "Are you all right?" "It's not so bad!" "It-it's okay!" "I uh..." "It's not okay!" "You keep saying that, but you don't know what you are doing!" "Now we are going to suffocate or starve at the bottom of the ocean." "And only my parents will notice, because no one else cares about me!" "I'm gonna disappear without ever making a single friend." "We could be friends!" "I saw you at the boardwalk parade last year." "You dropped your bracelet." "I picked it up, but then I couldn't find you." "I saved it in the freezer, so it would last longer." "In case I saw you again." "You were the kid on the car-wash float." "You had soap bubbles in your hair." "I-I was supposed to be a scrub brush." "I'm sorry, Connie." "If I'd have returned your bracelet back then, you wouldn't be stuck in this bubble with me now." "No, it's okay." "I'm having fun." "Come on, come on!" "Hide in the rocks, Steven!" "Why is it chasing us?" "The bracelet!" "It eats bright stuff!" "Connie!" "Steven!" "Give me the bracelet!" "What?" "It's okay!" "Now, go!" "Go!" "Run that way!" "I'm sorry!" "Steven!" "Steven!" "What's going on?" "What did you do?" "It was incredible!" "Really?" "You mean it?" "Here's your bracelet... again." "Thanks!" "So, are you going to introduce us?" "Steven was so excited to meet you!" "Right, Steven?" "Hey!" "Don't mess with his funky flow!" "Funky... flow?"
