“ | I don't know what will happen in the future, but if something dangerous comes along, I don't want to be a burden, I want to help! I want to be there for Steven, to fight by his side! The Earth is my home too, can't I help protect it? | „ |
~ Connie to Pearl in "Sworn to the Sword" |
“ | YES, IT IS! Yes, you hurt him, but this isn't the time to make this all about YOU! That is NOT helping! Maybe Steven would care how sad you are because he always puts everyone else's feelings first. But he can't do that for you right now, because... he needs US this time. We all had Steven when we needed him, but the only person who's never had Steven is Steven. He's always been there for us, so... (sigh) how can we be there for him now? | „ |
