Steven Universe (2013–…): Season 1, Episode 28 - Space Race - full transcript
Steven, Pearl, and Greg work together to build a spaceship so that Pearl can revisit the wonders of the cosmos, but Pearl gets a little carried away.
Whoa.
Inactive.
Inactive.
- Inactive.
- Do we have to check all of them?
- They're all still inactive, like always.
- We need to make sure.
I've never seen
so many warp pads before!
I hope I have enough of these
crying breakfast friend stickers.
- Where do all these warp pads go, anyway?
- Well, Steven, these
warp pads were used
to travel off-planet.
They were our connection to the
gem home world and to
Gem-controlled planets all
over the universe.
You mean we could go anywhere
we want in outer space?
Yeah, we could do
that if they weren't all busted.
It's true. The galaxy
warps have all been
inactive for thousands of years.
- Can't we fix them?
- No.
It's fine.
I'll always have my memories of
other worlds. But now I'm
here... on Earth... forever.
- With me!
- Right. With you.
It really is incredible
out there, though.
I wish you could see it, Steven.
tay tuned for another
episode of "Crying breakfast friends."
Yeesh. I must be getting old.
- I used to like cartoons.
- Hey, dad, did you
know the gems used to
travel all over outer space?
Yeah.
They're pretty far out, son.
I think Pearl really misses
going out there.
- Dad, can you help me build a spaceship?
- You know, that might be a
little outside my skill set.
How 'bout a bunk bed with wings?
- I could probably do that.
- No way!
We could totally build a spaceship!
People have done it
before, and we're people.
- We are people.
- And Pearl would love
- it so much to see space again.
- Sure. Why not?
How hurt could we get?
My aunt and uncle had a great
love for aviation and each other.
They cherished the years
they spent together,
and they held on to every
belonging they ever owned ...
kind of like me and my storage shed.
I'm starting to think
our family has a problem.
This is great!
I hereby declare this barn to be...
Universe & Universe's
universe of space travel HQ!
Okay. Now.
- "UUU Space Travel"? What is this?
- We built a spaceship!
- A spaceship?
- A spaceship!
A spaceship?
Now, remember, Steven, if
you run in to any trouble out
there, you can always bail.
There's never any shame in bailing.
Fatherly advice understood!
Thank you, dad.
- Light the engines.
- Roger that!
- Next stop ... outer space!
- Blast-off!
No shame!
I think your
calculations may have been off.
Well, they can't be
off if you don't do any.
Did you really
think this was gonna work?
Mnh-mnh-mnh.
Here. Look. You need
smooth, curving surfaces.
Otherwise, you're never gonna get enough
speed to break Earth's
gravitational pull.
Probably swept-back wings for
supersonic flight, airtight
cockpit with ejector seat, and
we'll need some serious engines,
- or maybe rockets would be better.
- I vote rockets!
Whoa, whoa. Hold on a sec.
We're not actually talking about
- building something like this, right?
- What?! This?
Of course not.
That would be ridiculous.
I mean, yes, theoretically,
it's not a stretch.
You've got plenty of spare
parts here, albeit for incredibly
primitive propulsion-based space
travel. The idea is ludicrous.
It would never work,
although several humans,
a monkey, and a dog
did make it into space.
I don't know why I've never
even thought of it before.
- This could actually work!
- Uh...
I hear what you're
saying, and I agree ...
it would be incredibly dangerous,
a full of errant...
this chair is disgusting.
But aren't the true
fools the ones who don't
seize an opportunity, despite
all the inherent risks?
And I'd be able to show Steven
the wonders of the cosmos!
And maybe just for a
second, from a distance,
I could see what's been
going on without me.
All right! Let's do it!
Ooh, space travel!
G-o-o-o-o-o!
Wah-o-o-o-o-o-o-oo!
Ground control to Mach 2.
Come in, Mach 2.
How you doing, buddy?
Wow!
You think we're taking
this a little far?
We're not even close to being done.
- We're not?
- Okay, Steven.
Go ahead and bring her down.
Ugh! Whoo!
Was it supposed to
fall apart like that?
Don't worry. This was
just to test my engine concept.
- I'll work out the kinks in the next one.
- Hang on. Hang on. Next one?!
Is there a shop in town that
carries F-1 single-nozzle
- liquid-fueled rockets?
- You really are serious!
Of course! We're also
going to need a space suit for
Steven so he doesn't freeze or explode.
Whoa.
You are not taking him to space.
- Yes, I am.
- No! I'm not allowing it!
But why? This is why
we founded Universe & Universe!
- Steven, you're grounded.
- What?!
No, no. I mean you're grounded.
- You don't get to leave Earth.
- Oh. What?!
As C.E.O. and supreme space commander,
I hereby ground this astronaut
- and cancel this mission.
- Aw, man! Stupid company by-laws.
- Hey! Who made you C.E.O.?!
- He did.
Fine. If neither of you will help,
I'll just do it by myself ...
- not Like it'll be much different.
- Pearl!
I'm sorry, bud. Sometimes you
just got to know when to bail.
Wha...?
Shh! Want to see
something really cool?
No. Don't give him a banana.
That's what he wants.
Presenting the brand-new
ballistic-flight-capable
universe Mach 3!
Spaceship!
Wait, Steven.
Keep your voice down.
- Whoa! It's even got the logo from the van!
- And if your dad asks,
- we'll say we borrowed it.
- Whoa. Look at all the buttons!
- I must press them all.
- If you want, Steven, we could take
her out for an engine check.
It'll be quick.
Wha?! What the...?
Pea-a-a-a-rl!
Steven, what are you doing?!
Wow! Look!
You can see the temple!
- Mm-hmm.
- Hey, can you hear me?!
Where do you two think you're going?!
Hey, dad, guess where I am.
I know where you are! It's where
you're going that concerns me!
Don't worry, dad.
This is just a quick test flight.
This will be perfectly fine ...
just a pop over to the
nearest star system.
- I'll give him back in 50 years.
- 50 years?
What?!
I'll be dead in 50 years!
Pearl, you bring him back
right now, or I'll ...
Hello? Hello?!
- Pearl, I'm not supposed to go. Pearl!
- Oh, this is so exciting!
Steven, you're gonna love it.
Hang on tight!
Mm! What was that?
Pearl!
We can make it.
We're almost there.
- Pearl!
- I'm gonna show it to you.
Uh... Uh...
Steven! What are you doing?!
We need to go, Pearl!
We're not gonna make it!
- But we're almost there!
- Pearl!
I know you miss space,
and I know you worked hard,
but sometimes you just
got to know when to bail.
N-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!
Please, please, please, please, please.
Ohh, this kid's killing me.
- I'm so sorry. I almost got us killed.
- I'm used to it.
I'm sorry I couldn't
help you go to space.
We'll get there someday ...
I promise.
- You know, I think I'd rather be here on Earth.
- With me!
Yeah. With you.
Inactive.
