1. Here you go, Schtu-ball.
Dinner is served.
Copy !req
2. Ice cream à la pie!
Copy !req
3. Thanks, Dad.
Copy !req
4. Are you feeling
any better?
Copy !req
5. Looks like the swelling
and glowing have gone down.
Copy !req
6. You know,
that pie won't eat itself.
Copy !req
7. Sorry.
- I'm just thinkin' about stuff.
Copy !req
8. Well,
what kind of stuff?
Copy !req
9. I spent so long
trying to figure out
Copy !req
10. whether or not I was mom,
Copy !req
11. now that
I actually know I'm me,
Copy !req
12. it — it's like
- I have no idea who that is.
Copy !req
13. I just wish I knew
what to do with myself.
Copy !req
14. Well,
I can relate to that.
Copy !req
15. Really?
- When I was your age,
Copy !req
16. I didn't know who I was
or what I wanted to do.
Copy !req
17. You didn't always want
to be a rock star?
Copy !req
18. No way!
Copy !req
19. I didn't get my hands
on good music
Copy !req
20. until I was your age.
Copy !req
21. Before I had the van,
Copy !req
22. I had no idea
what was out there,
Copy !req
23. but everything changed
when I hit the road.
Copy !req
24. I mean, sure,
you've seen other planets,
Copy !req
25. but what about West Keystone
or Charm City?
Copy !req
26. I had some of my most
formative moments
Copy !req
27. eating rest-stop sandwiches
outside Demlarva House
Copy !req
28. and watching
the trucks go by.
Copy !req
29. Huh.
Copy !req
30. Maybe you need a change
of scenery, Schtu-ball.
Copy !req
31. You're never gonna
find yourself
Copy !req
32. if you don't
start looking.
Copy !req
33. Yeah.
Copy !req
34. Yeah!
Copy !req
35. Let's go, Son, right now!
Really?
Copy !req
36. The road is calling, Steven.
Can't you hear it?
Copy !req
37. Yeah.
Copy !req
38. I think I can!
Copy !req
39. About two blocks
that way —
Copy !req
40. That's where I played
my first gig.
Copy !req
41. Really?
I wasn't even Mr. Universe yet.
Copy !req
42. I was just a kid
with a guitar,
Copy !req
43. sneaking out past the warden
on a Saturday night.
Copy !req
44. Wait, so...
- how did you become Mr. Universe?
Copy !req
45. You know what?
I can show you.
Copy !req
46. Good.
No one's home.
Copy !req
47. Wait, what?
Copy !req
48. Whose house is that?
Copy !req
49. Dad!
Copy !req
50. Dad?
Copy !req
51. This used
to be a lot easier.
Copy !req
52. Dad,
- you're breaking and entering!
Copy !req
53. I just gotta
grab one thing.
Copy !req
54. Oof!
Copy !req
55. Dad, you're rich!
- You don't have to steal!
Copy !req
56. C'mon.
Let's get out of here.
Copy !req
57. Just a sec.
Copy !req
58. What are you
even looking for?
Copy !req
59. You'll see.
Copy !req
60. Is there really
no one here?
Copy !req
61. This is wrong.
Copy !req
62. I better write a note.
Copy !req
63. They must have a pen
and paper somewhere.
Copy !req
64. W-What do I even say?
Copy !req
65. "Sorry for breaking
into your lovely home.
Copy !req
66. You seem like such nice people
with excellent taste.
Copy !req
67. Who enjoy potpourri."
Copy !req
68. It's like a snack
for your nose.
Copy !req
69. "Your fancy foreign spoon
collection is... impressive.
Copy !req
70. As are your tiny glass goats."
Copy !req
71. Geez, it's as good
a start as any.
Copy !req
72. Any paper in here?
Copy !req
73. Huh?
Copy !req
74. Letters from dad?
Copy !req
75. They're all unopened.
Copy !req
76. Dad?
Copy !req
77. Dad!
Copy !req
78. Wh— Th-Th—
This is your house?
Copy !req
79. Not mine.
Copy !req
80. My parents'.
Copy !req
81. This was your room!
Copy !req
82. Wha—
- This place is beautiful!
Copy !req
83. I thought you said
you grew up in a prison.
Copy !req
84. I did.
Copy !req
85. You have no idea
what it was like —
Copy !req
86. curfew, chaperones,
Copy !req
87. meatloaf.
Copy !req
88. You didn't
like meatloaf?
Copy !req
89. Not every Thursday
for 20 years.
Copy !req
90. It couldn't have
been that bad.
Copy !req
91. Steven,
it was horrible.
Copy !req
92. Do you know how old I was
the first time I had a taco?
Copy !req
93. Too old.
Copy !req
94. Oooh.
Copy !req
95. So this is your stuff!
Copy !req
96. I-Is this
your little hand?
Copy !req
97. And your
tiny baby boots!
Copy !req
98. Wh—
A wrestling trophy?
Copy !req
99. I didn't know
you wrestled.
Copy !req
100. Not by choice.
Copy !req
101. A middle-school
yearbook?
Copy !req
102. Ooooh!
You had braces!
Copy !req
103. You look just like me,
Copy !req
104. only more...
Copy !req
105. human.
Copy !req
106. So many people
signed this.
Copy !req
107. Tim wants you to have
a great summer and...
Copy !req
108. Who is Lauren Hecht?
Copy !req
109. She sure wrote a lot.
Copy !req
110. We were in mathletes
together.
Copy !req
111. It was just one
of the million things
Copy !req
112. my parents made me do.
Copy !req
113. Where are they
anyways?
Copy !req
114. At their time share
on Florida Island.
Copy !req
115. They go every single winter,
every single year.
Copy !req
116. They threw a fit the first time
I refused to go with them.
Copy !req
117. Your hair!
It's so short!
Copy !req
118. Oh, no.
- Is that my graduation photo?
Copy !req
119. They made me cut it,
and it was right before a gig.
Copy !req
120. Do you have any photos
of you on stage?
Copy !req
121. Ha! Are you kidding?
Copy !req
122. Everything music
was off-limits,
Copy !req
123. which is why I had to...
Copy !req
124. hide my stuff.
Copy !req
125. Yes!
Copy !req
126. This is it!
Copy !req
127. We can finally
get out of here.
Copy !req
128. Now, l— leave
that junk behind.
Copy !req
129. Alright.
One leg at a time.
Copy !req
130. Can't we use
the front door?
Copy !req
131. Oh, sorry.
It's a habit.
Copy !req
132. Hold on there, Steven.
Copy !req
133. This is your journey
of self discovery,
Copy !req
134. so you better get
behind the wheel.
Copy !req
135. But where are
we heading next?
Copy !req
136. That's up to you.
Copy !req
137. I get it, Steven.
Copy !req
138. When I was little
Gregory DeMayo,
Copy !req
139. I was just going
through the motions,
Copy !req
140. doing what
everybody else wanted.
Copy !req
141. But one day my friend
in social studies
Copy !req
142. snuck me this.
Copy !req
143. This is the CD with the song
that made me who I am!
Copy !req
144. Hold onto your butt,
Steven.
Copy !req
145. Dad...
Copy !req
146. i-is this where
our name comes from?
Copy !req
147. Yes! Yes, exactly!
Copy !req
148. You took it
from a song?
Copy !req
149. Once I heard this,
everything changed.
Copy !req
150. I suddenly realized
- there was so much out there
Copy !req
151. I hadn't even thought
to dream about.
Copy !req
152. The whole world,
the whole universe —
Copy !req
153. I wanted to get out
and see all of it.
Copy !req
154. So I got in this van,
on this road,
Copy !req
155. and I never
looked back!
Copy !req
156. I never could have known
that a couple years
Copy !req
157. of couch surfing
and Basement shows
Copy !req
158. would lead me
to your mother and you.
Copy !req
159. Now, it's your turn.
Copy !req
160. Where does Mr. Universe
make you want to go?
Copy !req
161. What?
I-I don't know.
Copy !req
162. Maybe you need
to hear it again.
Copy !req
163. I don't need this song.
I need...
Copy !req
164. I need what you had.
- What?
Copy !req
165. I wish I could've grown up
in a house like that.
Copy !req
166. No, you don't.
Copy !req
167. Maybe your parents
weren't so bad.
Copy !req
168. Maybe they gave you curfews
and chaperones
Copy !req
169. and meatloaf
f-for a reason.
Copy !req
170. Steven, you don't know
what they were like.
Copy !req
171. They can't be worse
than mom's family!
Copy !req
172. I went halfway
- across the galaxy for them,
Copy !req
173. and this was right here?
Copy !req
174. Steven, I couldn't do
anything growing up.
Copy !req
175. Everything I liked or wore
or wanted was always wrong.
Copy !req
176. Trust me,
- you're better off than I was.
Copy !req
177. I can't believe
- I never realized you're —
Copy !req
178. you're just like mom!
Copy !req
179. You grew up
with actual freedom.
Copy !req
180. I grew up in a van!
I never went to school!
Copy !req
181. I had never been to the doctor
until two days ago!
Copy !req
182. Steven, you're a gem!
Copy !req
183. You're not like
other kids!
Copy !req
184. I could've done
all that stuff!
Copy !req
185. My problem isn't
that I'm a gem.
Copy !req
186. My problem is,
I'm an Universe!
Copy !req
187. Watch out!
Copy !req
188. Steven! Steven!
[ High-pitched ringing ]
Copy !req
189. Phew.
Thank goodness.
Copy !req
190. You really scared me there,
kiddo.
Copy !req
191. Ugh.
What did I do?
Copy !req
192. Tow truck's
on its way.
Copy !req
193. The van's seen worse.
Copy !req
194. W-We'll all get
through this,
Copy !req
195. and, look, I — I —
Copy !req
196. I'm proud of you.
Copy !req
197. What?
Copy !req
198. You know, I never
had the guts to tell
Copy !req
199. my old man off
like that.
Copy !req
200. I'm glad you can
tell me anything —
Copy !req
201. you know you can tell me
anything, right?
Copy !req
202. You're having a hard time
right now.
Copy !req
203. I-I get it.
- We'll get the van fixed up.
Copy !req
204. We can head back home.
Copy !req
205. We'll get you some
more ice cream.
Copy !req
206. How does that sound?
Copy !req
207. Heck, we can have
- ice cream for breakfast.
Copy !req
