Steven: All right, everybody, listen up! We already have in our possession three of the four Gems responsible for the situation we are currently in.
Connie: That just means that now all we have to do is beat...
Steven: Emerald!
Connie: We've been on Homeworld for about a day and we still haven't heard from her.
Steven: Where could she be?
Connie: I wonder if she was inside White Diamond's ship too.
Steven: Lapis, you were inside that ship. Do you know if Emerald was in there too?
Lapis: No idea. The ship is huge, and the whole time we were only in one small, dimly lit room.
Peridot: Besides, that ship was buried in the rubble. If she was in it, she would've escaped from there by now, don't you guys think so?
Connie: Yes, I think so too.
Steven: Let's start looking for her on Homeworld then.
Lapis: Maybe she's not on Homeworld right now.
Steven: Huh? Why do you say so?
Lapis: While we were in the ship, Bluebird was alone, talking to someone through a communicator.
Steven: You think she was talking to Emerald?
Lapis: I'm not sure, but it's likely, isn't it?
Peridot: That doesn't confirm she's off planet.
Steven: True.
Connie: What if we ask Bluebird?
Steven: Sounds good. Lapis, please dispel the water bubble from Bluebird's head. I wanna talk to her.
Lapis: Right away. *snaps her fingers to dispel her water bubble and release Bluebird's head*
Steven: *walks up to Bluebird* Bluebird, where is Emerald?
Bluebird: I'm not tellin' y'all nothin' about nothin'!
Steven: Uh, please.
Bluebird: Tell me, why do you think I'd wanna collude with you against her, you moron?!
Steven: Oh come on, it's just to save us the trouble.
Lapis: Pretty sure with a little torture she'll be singing like a canary in no time.
Bluebird: Torture me as much as you want, you won't be getting anything out of me!!
Steven: Don't worry, we won't torture you.
Lapis: Why not?
Steven: We don't need to take that kind of measures, because they practically already lost.
(Bluebird starts laughing out loud.)
Steven: Why are you laughing?! What's so funny?
Bluebird: I may have lost this battle, but you... You won't be able to win the war against Emerald! *laughs*
Steven: What?!
Bluebird: I'll just tell you that no matter if you're half-Diamond, you won't be able to do anything against her.
Steven: What do you mean?
Bluebird: All the efforts you've made so far will be useless, Steven! *laughs*
