Steven Universe, Season 1

Steven:
Where's this bus taking us?

Connie:
Wherever we end up. We'll find a way to survive. I've been reading about sustainable living.

Steven:
Maybe it'll take us to a real apple farm!

Connie:
What's up with you and apples today?

[They both hear thumping sounds and look out the back window and see Alexandrite is running after them]

Alexandrite:
STEVE-E-E-N! [Steven and Connie scream; picks up the bus] You two, come out of that bus this instant!

Steven:
Aah! Okay! J-just put the bus down first.

[Back at The Crab Shack; the two kids are reunited with their families as they begin to rebuke them]

Dr. Maheswaran:
I don't even know where to begin with you, young la--

Pearl:
What were you thinking, running off with Connie like that? You could have gotten yourselves hurt!

Garnet:
Or gotten mangled in traffic.

Amethyst:
Or thrown in prison.

Pearl:
Steven, you are in very big trouble, and we have no choice but to punish you.

Steven:
But...

Garnet:
No dinner for 1,000 years.

Steven:
(sad expression) 1,000?

Pearl:
We would never starve you, but you will lose your TV privileges… for 1,000 years.

Steven:
No! The midseason pre-finale of "Under the Knife"! How can you do this to me?!

Greg:
Because we love you, Steven.

Dr. Maheswaran:
Wow. That was a masterful use of the "because we love you" shutdown. I'm quite partial to the "It's for your own good!" myself.

Mr. Maheswaran:
That "1,000 years of no dinner" bit, was pretty funny. [laughs]

Garnet:
All comedy is derived from fear.

Mr. Maheswaran:
[laughs] You are too much.

Dr. Maheswaran:
I did not know what to make of the two of- Excuse me, four of you, but I see that you are responsible parents. Uh, caregivers? Guardians.

Connie:
So, I can still hang out with Steven?

Dr. Maheswaran:
Sure.

Steven:
Alright!
