Quotes 

• Spinel : Who am I? Who am I? What are you even saying? I'm the loser of the game you didn't know you were playing!

• Spinel : You know, I came here to take my anger out on a bunch a' strangers. But now that I know you, I wanna kill you even more.

  [She loosens her grip on Steven, holding him only by his jacket sleeve. Steven's gem glows a moment, but still does not work] 

  Steven Universe : I don't get it!

  Spinel : Huh?

  Steven Universe : Why aren't my powers back? Aren't I reliving every horrible thing that's ever happened to me? A gem I barely know is trying to kill me. I'm paying for something my mom did that had nothing to do with me. I'm struggling with my powers, the world's about to end! What piece could I be missing? This is the story of my life!

  Spinel : [laughing]  Wow! I knew I was gonna set you back, but THIS is how you started? The legend? Steven Universe? Hahaha! You gotta be kidding me! How did a powerless loser like you become savior of the galaxy?

  Steven Universe : [a pause, then]  I changed. That's the final piece. All those struggles, I learned from them, and I grew! Oh, my gosh. It's not just my gem powers I've forgotten. All this "happily ever after" stuff has made me forget the first power I ever had. The power to change!

  [His gem glows bright. Spinel drops him, but Steven floats in the air. He's back] 

• Spinel : What about me?

  Steven Universe : Huh?

  Spinel : Is that all you needed me for? To turn off my injector?

  Steven Universe : No! Well, sort of. But n...

  Spinel : [becoming flustered]  But what now? I-I-I did what you wanted. That's it?

  Steven Universe : Well, yeah! We can just forget this whole thing ever happened.

  Spinel : How you gonna forget with me around? I'm the source of all your problems. Don't pretend you want me here! What's your plan for me, huh? You gonna put me somewhere? You gonna leave me somewhere? You're gonna leave me alone!

  Steven Universe : Spinel.

  [she smacks him away, causing the Rejuvenator to fall out of his pocket] 

• Spinel : [about the Rejuvenator]  Why do you have that?

  Steven Universe : I was just carrying it! I didn't have anywhere else to put it.

  Spinel : [she thinks a moment, becomes gravely serious]  "We can just forget this ever happened." You mean I can just forget this ever happened! Hohohoho! Hahahaha! Wow! What a plan! I turn off the injector, and then the moment my back is turned, bam! Presto! Change-o! Problem solved! Well, think again. You're not getting rid of me that easy!

• Spinel : All that stuff's easy for you to say. When you change, you change for the better. When I change, I change for the worse!

  [She lunges at Steven, as he easily defends her blows with his shield] 

  Spinel : I used to be just not good enough! Just not good enough for Pink, but now... now... I'M NOT GOOD AT ALL!

  [She grows her fists to ridiculous sizes, slams them down at Steven's shield, further cracking the injector's surface. She sinks to her knees, crying and laughing] 

  Spinel : A-At least you found me entertaining. You actually liked me, didn't you? What am I doing? Why do I wanna hurt you so bad? I'm supposed to be a friend. I just wanna be your friend.

• Spinel : What did she say about me, what did she say? What did you do without me, what did you do? Did you play games without me, what did you play? Did you think all this time that I wouldn't find out about you?

• Spinel : Just can it, won't ya! You can't just make everything better by singing some stupid song!

• Spinel : Finally something, finally news, about how the story ends. She doesn't exist now, survived by her son, and all of her brand new friends. Isn't that lovely? Isn't that cool? And isn't that cruel? And aren't I a fool to have happily listened, happy to stay, happily watching her drift, drift, drift away.
