1
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,720
Space is great,
2
00:00:07,730 --> 00:00:10,490
but nothing beats
some good ol' atmosphere.
3
00:00:10,490 --> 00:00:12,730
The horror! The terror!
4
00:00:12,730 --> 00:00:14,660
Protect yourself
against the menace
5
00:00:14,670 --> 00:00:16,900
that threatens Beach City!
6
00:00:16,900 --> 00:00:18,430
Protect yourself
against the menace
7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:19,900
that threatens Beach City?
8
00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:21,600
Mr. Smiley, protect yourself
against the menace
9
00:00:21,610 --> 00:00:22,910
that threatens Beach City?
10
00:00:22,910 --> 00:00:24,570
I'll protect myself
from the menace
11
00:00:24,580 --> 00:00:25,770
that threatens Beach City.
12
00:00:25,780 --> 00:00:29,080
Steven! I knew
I could count on you!
13
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,580
Let's get knowledgeable!
14
00:00:31,580 --> 00:00:35,080
"How to Protect Yourself
Against Rock People"?
15
00:00:35,090 --> 00:00:35,920
What?
16
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,420
"Alien entities walk among us"?
17
00:00:38,420 --> 00:00:41,420
"They're adding mind-controlling
minerals to our water suppl..."
18
00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:42,960
"They hate men"?!
19
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,960
Protect yourself
against the menace that -
20
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,860
Ronaldo! Wait! What is this?
21
00:00:47,870 --> 00:00:50,770
Well, technically,
it's an infozine pamphlet,
22
00:00:50,770 --> 00:00:53,440
but I've been calling them
Ronalphlets.
23
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:54,770
I get that part.
24
00:00:54,770 --> 00:00:56,610
I'm talking about
all this mean stuff
25
00:00:56,610 --> 00:00:58,270
you're saying
about the Crystal Gems!
26
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,880
No, no, no.
Crystal Gems aren't rock people.
27
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,950
Crystal Gems fight rock people.
28
00:01:02,950 --> 00:01:07,120
See my documentary...
"Rising Tides, Crashing Skies."
29
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,950
Crystal Gems don't just fight
rock people. We are rock people!
30
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:13,720
Also, don't say "rock people."
It's offensive.
31
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,130
Rock people are different,
obviously.
32
00:01:17,130 --> 00:01:21,330
For starters, they have rocks
embedded in their bodies.
33
00:01:21,330 --> 00:01:22,560
Like this?
34
00:01:22,570 --> 00:01:24,470
But they can summon weapons
35
00:01:24,470 --> 00:01:26,140
from the Mud Dimension.
36
00:01:27,810 --> 00:01:29,470
No, no, you're not getting it.
37
00:01:29,470 --> 00:01:30,810
They can alter their forms.
38
00:01:30,810 --> 00:01:33,480
That's how they trick humans
into loving them!
39
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,680
Awwww!
40
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,810
Wait a second.
41
00:01:36,810 --> 00:01:39,010
You're a rock person?!
42
00:01:39,020 --> 00:01:40,950
I'm a Crystal Gem, Ronaldo.
43
00:01:42,190 --> 00:01:44,590
And you're not wrong
about everything.
44
00:01:44,590 --> 00:01:46,660
We're just ignored
and misunderstood.
45
00:01:46,660 --> 00:01:50,260
I'm so glad you're the only one
that took a Ronalphlet!
46
00:01:50,260 --> 00:01:52,590
I'm so sorry!
47
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:54,800
Hey, it's okay.
48
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,300
Everyone makes mistakes.
49
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:59,000
Just as long as you realize
that the Crystal Gems and I
50
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,840
aren't that different from you.
51
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,010
Right. Thanks, Steven.
52
00:02:03,010 --> 00:02:07,180
I gotta go...
rethink some things.
53
00:02:07,180 --> 00:02:10,710
"I'm shutting down my blog,"
blah blah blah,
54
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,650
"social media," blah.
55
00:02:12,650 --> 00:02:16,690
"I may never come back
to the Internet!"
56
00:02:16,690 --> 00:02:18,120
Whoa, dude.
57
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,820
I suppose it's a good thing
58
00:02:19,820 --> 00:02:21,690
that he's taking time to think.
59
00:02:21,690 --> 00:02:23,360
There's a new post.
60
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,530
Hmm. - It's a video.
61
00:02:25,530 --> 00:02:28,960
Good day, loyal followers
of Keep Beach City Weird.
62
00:02:28,970 --> 00:02:31,530
I've come to you today
because I pride myself
63
00:02:31,540 --> 00:02:33,000
in bringing you the truth
64
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,040
about all the weird stuff
in Beach City
65
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,810
The Man doesn't want you
to know about.
66
00:02:37,810 --> 00:02:42,040
But today, I need to tell you
some truths about this man!
67
00:02:42,050 --> 00:02:44,180
I've mixed up
what is right and wrong
68
00:02:44,180 --> 00:02:46,720
and ended up saying
some pretty mean things
69
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,150
about the Crystal Gems.
70
00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:50,350
I feel terrible about my mistake
71
00:02:50,350 --> 00:02:52,920
because I know more than anyone
what it's like
72
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:56,990
to do thankless work
and to be an outsider!
73
00:02:56,990 --> 00:03:00,900
That's why I'm joining
the Crystal Gems!
74
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:01,930
What?!
75
00:03:03,330 --> 00:03:05,200
Steven!
76
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,240
Ronaldo!
77
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,540
Guess what!
78
00:03:07,540 --> 00:03:09,910
You want to join
the Crystal Gems?
79
00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:12,710
I thought you'd never ask!
80
00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:16,510
You know, I always felt
strangely at home here.
81
00:03:16,510 --> 00:03:18,880
Unh-unh. No.
You are not living here.
82
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,050
And you certainly can't join
the Crystal Gems.
83
00:03:21,050 --> 00:03:23,350
But... You don't have a gem.
84
00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:24,590
Your body is organic.
85
00:03:24,590 --> 00:03:27,590
My body's organic,
and I'm a Crystal Gem.
86
00:03:27,590 --> 00:03:30,030
You're going to entertain this?
87
00:03:30,030 --> 00:03:32,860
We're all different, but we love
and accept each other.
88
00:03:32,860 --> 00:03:34,930
That's what Crystal Gems do.
89
00:03:34,930 --> 00:03:36,230
And isn't it great that someone
90
00:03:36,230 --> 00:03:38,270
is actually interested
in what we do?
91
00:03:38,270 --> 00:03:40,270
What better way
to show him what we're about
92
00:03:40,270 --> 00:03:42,740
than to accept him
as a Crystal Gem, too?
93
00:03:42,740 --> 00:03:44,510
Uhhh...
94
00:03:46,310 --> 00:03:47,610
Let's do this!
95
00:03:47,610 --> 00:03:50,850
Well, it's not the strangest
houseguest we've had.
96
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,220
So, when do I get issued my gem?
97
00:03:54,220 --> 00:03:56,420
Ohhhh. It doesn't really...
Uh... eh...
98
00:03:56,420 --> 00:03:58,950
But if you had a gem,
what would you want it to be?
99
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,290
Well, I care so much,
100
00:04:00,290 --> 00:04:02,760
I think it'd be, like,
deep in my heart.
101
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,390
Or like a million tiny gems,
102
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,630
like one crushed-up gem
coursing through my blood,
103
00:04:07,630 --> 00:04:10,230
like... like... Bloodstone!
104
00:04:10,230 --> 00:04:12,630
Perfect!
That's your Crystal Gem name.
105
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,600
Wait! Check it out!
106
00:04:14,610 --> 00:04:17,270
I have a gem weapon now, too!
107
00:04:17,270 --> 00:04:18,340
Wow! A sword!
108
00:04:18,340 --> 00:04:20,980
I got it at Delmarva Con
last year.
109
00:04:20,980 --> 00:04:22,910
It's a replica from the anime
110
00:04:22,910 --> 00:04:25,350
"I Can't Believe
My Stepdad's My Sword."
111
00:04:25,350 --> 00:04:28,320
It can cut through
a carton of milk
112
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,190
like a carton of butter!
113
00:04:30,190 --> 00:04:32,820
There's a half-full juice box
by the TV.
114
00:04:33,690 --> 00:04:35,490
Huhhhh...
115
00:04:35,490 --> 00:04:37,560
Ahhhh!
116
00:04:40,860 --> 00:04:42,930
Nice! That star
looks good on you.
117
00:04:42,930 --> 00:04:44,600
Thanks.
118
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,300
Mission time! Awesome!
119
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:48,540
Let me grab my katana
from upstairs.
120
00:04:55,710 --> 00:04:57,610
I'm gonna take the stairs.
121
00:04:57,620 --> 00:04:59,180
Uh, I'm sorry, Bloodfry.
122
00:04:59,180 --> 00:05:01,350
You're going to have to
sit this one out.
123
00:05:01,350 --> 00:05:02,650
It's a bit dangerous.
124
00:05:02,650 --> 00:05:04,650
But Steven gets to go.
125
00:05:04,660 --> 00:05:06,150
Steven is different.
126
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,220
He's been training with us
for years.
127
00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:09,560
Don't worry, Bloodstone.
128
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,860
I didn't get to come along
at first, either.
129
00:05:11,860 --> 00:05:13,700
We can start your training soon.
130
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:15,230
Be back in a bit!
131
00:05:16,370 --> 00:05:20,100
But... I'm a Crystal Gem, too.
132
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,910
Um... hi, Bloodstone.
133
00:05:23,910 --> 00:05:26,580
Oh. Hi, Steven.
Didn't see you there.
134
00:05:26,580 --> 00:05:30,380
So... how'd the mission go
without me holding you back?
135
00:05:30,380 --> 00:05:31,710
Uh, it went fine.
136
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,250
You know, the usual...
137
00:05:33,250 --> 00:05:36,320
Fighting monsters,
sharing emotions.
138
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,760
I'm glad you didn't get hurt...
With me not there.
139
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,990
Yeah.
140
00:05:40,990 --> 00:05:42,220
Well, I'm heading out.
141
00:05:42,230 --> 00:05:44,390
And you're going out like that?
142
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,430
Uh... like what?
143
00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:48,730
Well, I just think
a real Crystal Gem
144
00:05:48,730 --> 00:05:52,030
would want to show off
their gem, like, all the time.
145
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,970
If I had a gem,
I'd show mine off.
146
00:05:56,110 --> 00:05:58,540
You are in a quiet forest.
147
00:05:58,540 --> 00:06:02,110
The trees are quiet.
The sky is quiet.
148
00:06:02,110 --> 00:06:04,410
A small rabbit begins to sing.
149
00:06:04,420 --> 00:06:05,610
Ahhhh...
150
00:06:05,620 --> 00:06:07,120
Rahh! What the...
151
00:06:10,090 --> 00:06:13,090
Bloodstone,
I know you want to train,
152
00:06:13,090 --> 00:06:14,760
but it's bedtime.
153
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,760
Funny that you... sleep,
when gems don't need sleep.
154
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,030
Why is that?
155
00:06:21,030 --> 00:06:22,260
I... I don't know.
156
00:06:22,270 --> 00:06:25,530
Because I'm half human,
I get tired and I...
157
00:06:25,540 --> 00:06:28,800
Huh. Well, I'm two halves human,
and I'm not...
158
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,010
tired at all.
159
00:06:37,780 --> 00:06:40,980
Ever since
I became a Crystal Gem,
160
00:06:40,990 --> 00:06:43,320
uh... sleeping...
161
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,250
I don't...
162
00:06:45,260 --> 00:06:46,250
do it.
163
00:06:46,260 --> 00:06:48,120
That's great, Bloodstone.
164
00:06:48,130 --> 00:06:49,830
What a cool name.
165
00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:51,490
I'm so cool.
166
00:06:52,630 --> 00:06:55,760
Bye, Connie! See you tomorrow
for sword training!
167
00:06:55,770 --> 00:06:56,830
Aah!
168
00:06:56,830 --> 00:06:59,270
Her gem weapon's a sword, huh?
169
00:06:59,270 --> 00:07:01,640
She totally
ripped that off from me.
170
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,070
What?! That sword
belonged to my mom!
171
00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:06,580
How come I don't get
your mom's gempon?
172
00:07:06,580 --> 00:07:08,140
That's "gem" and "weapon."
173
00:07:08,150 --> 00:07:10,780
Well, Connie's been
a part of the Crystal Gems
174
00:07:10,780 --> 00:07:12,350
longer than you, so...
175
00:07:12,350 --> 00:07:16,320
Admit it... She's just in
because she's your girlfriend.
176
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,320
What are you talking about?!
177
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,990
She doesn't even live here!
178
00:07:20,990 --> 00:07:22,760
I'm here all the time!
179
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,000
Look at that quality groove
I've established!
180
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,630
If she was a real Crystal Gem,
181
00:07:28,630 --> 00:07:31,700
she'd be a little bit
more dedicated!
182
00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:33,340
Are you serious?!
183
00:07:33,340 --> 00:07:35,600
Bloodstone,
ever since you got here,
184
00:07:35,610 --> 00:07:37,770
all you've done
is boss me around!
185
00:07:37,780 --> 00:07:41,010
Who are you to tell anyone
how to be a Crystal Gem?!
186
00:07:41,010 --> 00:07:42,940
You're just... You're just...
187
00:07:42,950 --> 00:07:45,180
a guy with a blog!
188
00:07:46,050 --> 00:07:47,680
Is that love?
189
00:07:47,690 --> 00:07:49,650
Is that acceptance?
190
00:07:49,650 --> 00:07:53,060
Maybe you're the one
that isn't a Crystal Gem.
191
00:07:53,060 --> 00:07:57,090
I think you need to leave...
And think about stuff.
192
00:07:57,790 --> 00:07:59,230
What is my problem?
193
00:07:59,230 --> 00:08:01,360
He just wanted to be included.
194
00:08:01,370 --> 00:08:05,100
If I were really a Crystal Gem,
I'd never...
195
00:08:06,870 --> 00:08:08,640
Wait a second.
196
00:08:10,370 --> 00:08:12,810
Amethyst?!
197
00:08:12,810 --> 00:08:15,210
Yo, I didn't even say anything.
198
00:08:15,210 --> 00:08:17,950
Bloodstone! We need to talk!
199
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,380
You're right! The Crystal Gems
are about love and acceptance!
200
00:08:22,390 --> 00:08:24,820
But you've been acting
really mean to me,
201
00:08:24,820 --> 00:08:26,020
and I don't love that.
202
00:08:26,020 --> 00:08:27,390
I don't accept that.
203
00:08:27,390 --> 00:08:29,020
I wish I hadn't snapped at you.
204
00:08:29,030 --> 00:08:30,730
It's just...
I really thought you joined
205
00:08:30,730 --> 00:08:33,400
because you were interested
in the Crystal Gems.
206
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,230
But the second it wasn't
about you, you stopped caring.
207
00:08:37,230 --> 00:08:38,570
This isn't the Bloodstone club
208
00:08:38,570 --> 00:08:40,840
about making Bloodstone
feel good.
209
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,370
This is my whole life!
210
00:08:42,370 --> 00:08:44,770
Do you care about that or not?!
211
00:08:47,580 --> 00:08:48,840
Whoa!
212
00:08:48,850 --> 00:08:51,510
You truthed him so hard,
he died!
213
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,050
No!
214
00:08:53,050 --> 00:08:55,180
Bloodstone! Bloodstone!
215
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,690
He's just asleep.
216
00:08:59,690 --> 00:09:01,360
Guess staying awake
for a whole week
217
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,060
finally caught up with him.
218
00:09:03,060 --> 00:09:05,530
Well, what do we do
with Fryrocko now?
219
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,860
We should let his parent
know he's back.
220
00:09:08,870 --> 00:09:11,270
Hey, Dad. I'm back.
221
00:09:11,270 --> 00:09:13,240
Blog, blog, blog.
222
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,070
That was really good!
223
00:09:15,070 --> 00:09:16,610
Thanks!
224
00:09:16,610 --> 00:09:19,570
I'll... text Peedee
and let him know he's here.
225
00:09:19,580 --> 00:09:21,210
You think he'll be okay?
226
00:09:21,210 --> 00:09:24,350
You've worried about him
enough, Steven.
227
00:09:25,410 --> 00:09:28,680
Crystal Gems, let's head back.
228
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:42,960
Bloodstone!
229
00:09:42,970 --> 00:09:44,800
Oh. Hey, Steven.
230
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,000
Are you all right?
231
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,140
I haven't seen you
in three weeks.
232
00:09:48,140 --> 00:09:50,340
Yeah. I took a real long nap.
233
00:09:50,340 --> 00:09:52,470
And then I did
some hard thinking.
234
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,510
I wasn't acting like Bloodstone.
235
00:09:54,510 --> 00:09:58,350
I was acting like - Jerknaldo.
236
00:09:58,350 --> 00:10:01,980
You accepted me, but I still
felt like an outsider.
237
00:10:01,990 --> 00:10:07,460
I guess even amongst outsiders,
I am the ultimate outsider.
238
00:10:07,460 --> 00:10:11,760
I think it's better
Ronaldo Fryman work alone.
239
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,360
Are you sure?
240
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,000
I was really glad
you wanted to help our cause.
241
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
I still do.
242
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Oh. It's you and Pearl
shaking hands.
243
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,340
When did that happen?
244
00:10:22,340 --> 00:10:25,670
I used the magic
of photoediting software.
245
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:28,680
Hey, but, uh...
Ronalphlets aside,
246
00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:29,950
can I ask you something?
247
00:10:29,950 --> 00:10:31,150
Yeah.
248
00:10:31,150 --> 00:10:32,610
Why don't you use your Gem name?
249
00:10:32,620 --> 00:10:35,520
Oh. My Gem name
is my mom's name.
250
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,320
Actually, the only time
Gems really call me that
251
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,290
is if they're about to kidnap me
or beat me up.
252
00:10:41,290 --> 00:10:42,660
That's rough, buddy.
253
00:10:42,660 --> 00:10:44,860
You want me to put that
in the Ronalphlet?
254
00:10:44,860 --> 00:10:47,530
Ehh... maybe not.
255
00:10:47,530 --> 00:10:48,730
Got it.
256
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,200
