GREG yeah. but, these other gems aren’t like your mother. they’re not like garnet, amethyst or pearl. they’re not going to start caring about people now. they didn’t the first time they-- STEVEN the first time they what? GREG i mean, it was thousands of years ago, it’s-it’s not like i was there. the gems should be telling you all this stuff but, i get it, i mean… they don’t want you thinking of them like that! STEVEN like what? dad, like what?! GREG like aliens, steven! aliens who invaded earth! STEVEN what?! GREG all they do is try to make up for it! but, they just can’t forgive themselves! do you understand? look, they were doing something awful to the planet and your mother couldn’t stand it anymore. she told me, that’s why she had to turn on her own kind. she gave up everything just to stop what they started here, and drive the invading gems off of earth. STEVEN so, she saved the world! that’s good! GREG ehh….no such thing as a good “war” kiddo. gems were destroyed. people too. in the end, your mother could only save a handful of her closest friends. if it weren’t for her shield, man, i don’t know. b-but hey! let’s look on the bright side! we’re gonna drive by that waffle place in a couple miles! STEVEN we gotta go back! turn the van around! GREG no way! the gems don’t want you going back!
