1. 1x47 - "Political Power"
Copy !req
2. Hmm.
This spot should be safe.
Copy !req
3. Amethyst, do you have the robonoid?
Copy !req
4. Yeah.
Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
5. Amethyst!
I just repaired that!
Copy !req
6. Yeah, yeah.
It's fine.
Copy !req
7. Ugh! Okay.
Copy !req
8. We have everything we
need for the experiment.
Copy !req
9. And Steven is home, fast
asle-e-e-e-ep!
Copy !req
10. - Hey, guys!
- Steven!
Copy !req
11. It's way past your bedtime!
You should really go
Copy !req
12. - back to the house.
- What?
Copy !req
13. I don't want to miss...
whatever this is.
Copy !req
14. - What is this?
- Pearl got lonely,
Copy !req
15. so she made herself a robot friend.
Copy !req
16. It's not a robot friend ...
it's a robot disruptor!
Copy !req
17. It should produce a localized
Copy !req
18. energy blast.
So when Peridot shows up to...
Copy !req
19. neet with us, we'll have
something that can knock out
Copy !req
20. all her robonoids.
Now, stand back, everyone!
Copy !req
21. We did it!
Copy !req
22. Well, you knocked out
Copy !req
23. - all the lights in town.
- Steven, that was not
Copy !req
24. the point of the ...
All right. That was a start!
Copy !req
25. Now I'm going to need
to take some parts out of
Copy !req
26. the washing machine. Steven,
you might have to wear
Copy !req
27. - the same shirt for a while.
- No problem.
Copy !req
28. Hmm.
Copy !req
29. Hmph.
Copy !req
30. What's wrong with
the microwav... Ow!
Copy !req
31. What is the meaning of this?
Copy !req
32. Huh?
Copy !req
33. - Mayor Dewey?
- Hello, there, young Universe.
Copy !req
34. - Any of your... sisters home?
- My sisters?
Copy !req
35. Your caretakers, you know ...
the tall one, the purple one,
Copy !req
36. the hot one?
Copy !req
37. Look, the power's out, and I've been
Copy !req
38. mayor long enough to know
they had something to do with it.
Copy !req
39. My sisters?
Copy !req
40. Is there anyone else I can
talk to about this?
Copy !req
41. - Pearl!
- Coming!
Copy !req
42. - Oh! Uh, can I help you?
- Yes.
Copy !req
43. Oh, hi!
Uh, Beach City is currently
Copy !req
44. experiencing a widespread power outage.
Copy !req
45. Oh, don't worry about that.
Copy !req
46. The power should be back
on as early as tonight or
Copy !req
47. - as late as... never.
- Never coming back?
Copy !req
48. - Yes?
- No, no, no!
Copy !req
49. It has to come back!
The people of Beach City can't
Copy !req
50. handle a situation like this!
They need their electronic
Copy !req
51. distractions so they won't
notice that this town
Copy !req
52. - is a magnet for disaster!
- Oh, don't be dramatic.
Copy !req
53. I saw humans get on fine
without power for millennia.
Copy !req
54. You used to hunt and gather.
Copy !req
55. What happened to that?
Copy !req
56. You don't understand.
Sure, things seem calm now, in
Copy !req
57. the light of the day, but when
the sun goes down, so does...
Copy !req
58. - the town.
- He's right.
Copy !req
59. Mayor Dewey, this is our responsibility.
Copy !req
60. We'll help you clean up this mess!
Copy !req
61. No, we won't!
Copy !req
62. - I'll help you clean up this mess!
- Okay.
Copy !req
63. But you're not getting paid.
Copy !req
64. We got to go do damage
control now, or the boardies
Copy !req
65. - are gonna get restless.
- Boardies?
Copy !req
66. Hello, youth resident of Beach City.
Copy !req
67. - Is everything all right?
- You mean besides the power
Copy !req
68. knocking out the freezers
and melting
Copy !req
69. - all this ice cream!
- What? Ice cream?
Copy !req
70. It's a real pain in the ...
Ugh!
Copy !req
71. I'd offer you some,
but it's pretty soupy.
Copy !req
72. Is this happening to
ice cream all over town?
Copy !req
73. - This really is a crisis!
- Now let's all calm down here.
Copy !req
74. - I have everything under control.
- You do?
Copy !req
75. Of course!
The power will be back,
Copy !req
76. and the freezers will
be working by sundown.
Copy !req
77. No need to cry over, uh, frozen milk.
Copy !req
78. Here.
I'll catch you kids on the side
Copy !req
79. that flips!
You take care now.
Copy !req
80. - See you later!
- Thanks for the glowstick!
Copy !req
81. So, everything is
going to be okay?
Copy !req
82. - What? No!
- Y-You lied to them?
Copy !req
83. Look, Steven, it's not lying
when you're the mayor.
Copy !req
84. - It's politics.
- It is?
Copy !req
85. Of course it is.
Let me tell you something.
Copy !req
86. When you work for the
government, you can't control
Copy !req
87. what happens in the
world, but you can control
Copy !req
88. how people feel about it.
That's the real weight I carry ...
Copy !req
89. making the good people
of Beach City feel better,
Copy !req
90. - safer, more secure.
- But ...
Copy !req
91. What's my other option ...
let the people panic and riot?
Copy !req
92. That didn't work out so well
for Ocean Town!
Copy !req
93. I've never heard of Ocean Town.
Copy !req
94. Exactly!
That's why you've got to give
Copy !req
95. the people something to believe in.
Copy !req
96. When they see my giant head
on this car, rolling down
Copy !req
97. the boardwalk, they think,
"here comes help."
Copy !req
98. Well, some people think, "here
comes that exterminator guy,"
Copy !req
99. but then they realize it's me,
their mayor!
Copy !req
100. Have you seen that exterminator
truck with the head on it?
Copy !req
101. - He's totally copying me.
- Uh...
Copy !req
102. What's going on?
Copy !req
103. Attention, my good citizens!
Copy !req
104. As you may or may not be aware of,
Copy !req
105. there is a power outage
affecting all of Beach City
Copy !req
106. - area proper.
- Oh. Really?
Copy !req
107. This problem is just a
temporary one, not a big
Copy !req
108. worry at all!
Things could be worse!
Copy !req
109. We could be in... Ocean Town!
Copy !req
110. - Too soon!
- Anyway, the power will be
Copy !req
111. back on by sundown, so, in the
meantime, just enjoy this
Copy !req
112. beautiful, peaceful day outside.
Copy !req
113. The power will be back on
before you know it. I promise!
Copy !req
114. - Ohh!
- I trust this man!
Copy !req
115. Okay.
Make sure everyone gets
Copy !req
116. a button and a glowstick.
Copy !req
117. Have a glowstick.
Here you go.
Copy !req
118. - Uh, here.
- Hey, Schtu-ball.
Copy !req
119. You get some sort of secret
government internship
Copy !req
120. - I need to know about?
- Here.
Copy !req
121. Apparently, you can never
have too many
Copy !req
122. Mayor Dewey buttons.
Sounds like I'm not gonna be
Copy !req
123. needing this glowstick, though.
See you later, buddy!
Copy !req
124. But, Dad!
Copy !req
125. Nooooo.
Copy !req
126. So what if she
shows up with more?
Copy !req
127. - I say we just mash 'em all!
- It's not just
Copy !req
128. the robonoids.
According to Lapis, she's going
Copy !req
129. - to have backup.
- Who knows what she's
Copy !req
130. going to have?
We won't stand a chance against
Copy !req
131. their weapons, but if we can
just knock them out ...
Copy !req
132. It's not about the
robonoids, Pearl.
Copy !req
133. - She's coming with other gems!
- Says who?
Copy !req
134. Who cares?
What does Lapis even know?
Copy !req
135. - Calm down, Amethyst.
- You calm down-uh... Hey!
Copy !req
136. Look who it is!
It's Steven!
Copy !req
137. Our ... Our best friend Steven!
What are you doing here, buddy?
Copy !req
138. I... live here.
Is everything okay?
Copy !req
139. - Of... course!
- In fact, we were just
Copy !req
140. - about to play... cards.
- Yes, cards!
Copy !req
141. Want to play war?
Copy !req
142. - I mean... peace?
- Yeah, but how are we
Copy !req
143. - gonna play cards in the dark?
- We can light a fire
Copy !req
144. - in the fireplace.
- Yes! Like early man!
Copy !req
145. Come on, early man!
Copy !req
146. When the sun goes down, so does...
Copy !req
147. The town.
Copy !req
148. - Oh, my gosh!
- How come there's still no power?
Copy !req
149. You said it would be on by sundown!
Copy !req
150. Everyone just calm down.
I'm sure if we just talk
Copy !req
151. rationally, we can come to an agreement.
Copy !req
152. No agreement!
You promised us!
Copy !req
153. Without power, I can't take
care of my family!
Copy !req
154. Well, this one's fine.
But he can't take care of himself!
Copy !req
155. I'm sure the power will be on
Copy !req
156. - tomorrow, I think... maybe.
- Stop pulling our legs!
Copy !req
157. You lied to us, and you're lying again!
Copy !req
158. Please!
Copy !req
159. Good citizens of Beach City ...
Ow!
Copy !req
160. - Liar!
- You're a liar!
Copy !req
161. - If you'd all just calm down ...
- Tip the truck!
Copy !req
162. Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
163. Everyone, please!
Copy !req
164. The power might not be back on tonight.
It might not be back on
Copy !req
165. - for even a year!
- A year?
Copy !req
166. - What?
- But I know that wou're
Copy !req
167. all going to be okay
because I know each and every
Copy !req
168. one of you. You're smart
and you're tough and you're
Copy !req
169. resourceful, and you
all care about each other more
Copy !req
170. than you care about microwave
dinners or video games or being
Copy !req
171. able to see in the dark.
I know it'll hurt your
Copy !req
172. businesses.
I know it'll hurt your lives.
Copy !req
173. But are we really going
to hurt each other?
Copy !req
174. Of course not!
Copy !req
175. We'll face the night together,
and we'll survive, because we
Copy !req
176. - are the light of Beach City!
- Yeah!
Copy !req
177. - Whoo-hoo!
- Uh, yes.
Copy !req
178. Thank you, Steven!
I couldn't have said it better!
Copy !req
179. Don't try to worm your way
out of this!
Copy !req
180. - Oh, no, no!
- It's okay! It's okay!
Copy !req
181. Mayor Dewey was hiding things
from you, but he did it because
Copy !req
182. he didn't want you to worry.
He was just sheltering you from
Copy !req
183. the truth because he ...
he loves you.
Copy !req
184. Mayor Dewey!
Copy !req
185. Oh, hey, Steven.
If I can just concentrate
Copy !req
186. - the wave a little more...
- Um... do you guys want to talk?
Copy !req
187. And why would we need
Copy !req
188. - to do that?
- Hey, Steven, you still
Copy !req
189. - owe us a game of cards!
- Yeah, get in on this.
Copy !req
190. N-No!
I don't want to play cards!
Copy !req
191. - I want to talk about Peridot!
- Oh, yes!
Copy !req
192. - Well, everything is fine!
- No, it's not!
Copy !req
193. I know it's not.
I know you ... you just don't
Copy !req
194. want me to be scared, but
just tell me the truth.
Copy !req
195. Peridot is coming,
and we don't know who or what
Copy !req
196. she'll be coming with.
She's a modern gem with modern
Copy !req
197. gem technology that's
bound to overpower us.
Copy !req
198. Steven, the truth is...
we're scared.
Copy !req
199. We've been scared before, right?
Copy !req
200. None of us know what's going
to happen, but that's okay.
Copy !req
201. We can figure things out...
together.
Copy !req
