Steven Universe, Season 1

Steven:
What's wrong with the microwa—ow!! [grumbles] What is the meaning of this?! [knocking on door] Huh? [walks to the door, opens it] Mayor Dewey?

Mayor Dewey:
Hello there, young Universe. Any of your... sisters home?

Steven:
My sisters?

Mayor Dewey:
Your caretakers, you know. The tall one, the purple one, the hot one? [Steven stares for a beat] Look, the power's out and I've been mayor long enough to know they had something to do with it.

Steven:
..My sisters?

Mayor Dewey:
Is there anyone else I can talk to about this?

Steven:
Pearl!!

Pearl:
Coming! [walks to him with the robonoid] Oh, can I help you?

Mayor Dewey:
Yes... oh, hi! Uh, Beach City is currently experiencing a widespread power outage— [the robonoid sparks]

Pearl:
Oh, don't worry about that. The power should be back on as early as tonight, or as late as... never.

Mayor Dewey:
Never coming back!?!

Pearl:
Yes?

Mayor Dewey:
No, no, no! It has to come back! The people of Beach City can't handle a situation like this! They need their electronic distractions so they won't notice that this town is a magnet for disaster!!

Pearl:
Oh, don't be dramatic. I saw humans get on fine without power for millennia. You used to hunt and gather. [chuckles] What happened to that?

Mayor Dewey:
You don't understand! Sure, things seem calm now in the light of day, but when the sun goes down, so does... the town.

Steven:
[beat] He's right. Mayor Dewey, this is our responsibility. We'll help you clean up this mess.

Garnet:
[inside] No, we won't! [Pearl goes back inside]

Steven:
I'll help you clean up this mess.

Mayor Dewey:
Okay. But you're not getting paid.
