Cartoon Network: Endgame/Transcript

Javier: Okay, hold on. Don't shoot. You see where you're going?

Brylee: Mhm.

Javier: Okay, now let's worry about how you get there.

Javier: Here. Can you see?

Brylee: Yeah.

Javier: You sure?

Brylee: Mhm. [Javier pushes Brylee's hair in front of her face while covering her left eye.]

Javier: How about now?

[Both Brylee and Brylee giggle, as the camera panels into a long shot showing a target nailed on a tree, and the rest of Javier's friends having a picnic in the field.]

Kayla: Alright. Ready your fingers.

Vincent: Nice.

Zane: Nice throw, Vincent.

Vincent: You go.

Kayla: Hey, you guys want mayo or mustard, or both? [Camera switches to Slimeo who then proceeds to look at Brylee.]

Brylee: Who wants mayo on a hotdog?

Slimeo: Probably Vin.

[Slimeo looks at Kayla]

Slimeo: Uh, two mustard, please! Thanks. [Camera switches to Kayla facing Javier]

Kayla: Mayo or mustard?

Javier: How about ketchup?

Kayla: Ketchup? [Camera switches back to Javier and Brylee]

Javier: Mind your elbow. [Brylee releases her laser eyes and it hits the target directly in the bullseye.] Hahaha! Good job, Brylee.

Zane: Hey guys! Enough practice, soup's on!

Javier: Alright, we're coming; we're hungry. [Javier looks behind him, but there's no one there, but dust being blown away by the wind.] Brylee, let's go. [Javier starts to look around] Brylee? [Javier starts to move and look around] Kayla? Hey, Zane! Slimeo? Zane? Vincent? Guys? Guys?

[Lightning crackles]

[SOMEWHERE IN SPACE]

[Opening sequence begins with Dear Mr. Fantasy playing]

[Scene switches to Amethyst and Steven on the ship playing paper football]

Amethyst: Wrra! [Amethyst, frustrated, puts her hands in a fighting stance while looking at Steven]

Steven Universe: You don't need to do that. Because uh... you're just holding position. [Amethyst flicks a paper football towards Steven] Oh yeah, that was close. [Amethyst once again flicks a paper football towards Steven] That's a goal. We're now one apiece.

Amethyst: I would like to try again. [Amethyst flicks a paper football towards Steven]

Steven Universe: We tied up. Feel the tension? It's fun.

[Steven poorly flicks a paper football towards Amethyst]

Steven Universe: That was terrible. Now you have a chance to win. [Amethyst flicks the paper football towards Steven]

Steven Universe: And... you've won. Congratulations. [Steven reaches his hand out to shake Amethyst's hand]

Steven Universe: Fair game. Good sport. [Amethyst shakes Steven's hand] Have fun?

Amethyst: It was fun.

''[Camera switches to see Crystal Gem's busted. Steven's hand reaches forward to turn on the gem. We pan out to see that he's sitting on the floor of a gloomy Gem Ship. The weight of the recent events of INFINITY WAR evident in Steven's posture. He taps the gem with a sigh.]''

Steven Universe: This thing on? ''[The gem scans Steven. Steven leans against the wall while taking deep breaths. He looks weak and malnutrition.]'' Hey, Connie... Con. If you find this recording, don't post it on social media. It's gonna be a real tear-jerker. I don't know if you're ever going to see these. I don't even know if you're... if you're still... Oh god, I hope so. Today is day 21, uh 22. [Cut to Steven standing at a window to stare out in space, waiting for his impending doom to arrive.] You know, if it wasn't for the existential terror of staring into a void of space, I'd say I'm feeling better today. The infection's run its course, Thanks to Amethyst back there. [Cut to a shot of Amethyst sitting in the back of the Gem Ship.] You'd love her. Very practical. Only a tiny bit sadistic. Some fuel cells were cracked during battle, but we figured out a way to reverse the ion charge to buy ourselves about 48 hours of time. [A shot of Steven and Amethyst working on the fuel cells of the Gem Ship.] But it's now dead in the water. We're 1000 light years from the nearest 7 -11. Oxygen will run out tomorrow. And that'll be it. And Con, I ... I know I said no more surprises, but I was really hoping to pull off one last one. But it looks like... well you know what it looks like. Don't feel bad about this. I mean, if you grovel for a couple of weeks, and then move on with enormous guilt. I should probably lie down. Please know that... when I drift off, I will think about you. It's always you.

''[With that, Steven turns the gem off. He rubs his thumb over the left eye, and then leans down, to what would be his last sleep. Amethyst walks over to him, and carries him to the seat, and lies him there. She walks away dejected.]''

''[Cut to a shot of Steven's face, which for the first time shows age and weakness. There is a light on his face, which grows brighter and brighter until he's forced to open his eyes. The camera pans around to the light source, which is slowly revealed to be CAPTAIN PLANET.]''

''[A bathroom in the Toonvengers compound. We see Bubbles holding a Comb, having just brushing her hair. She sighs and looks into a side mirror. The mirror suddenly starts shaking, slowly at first, and then severely. Cut to the yard in the Toonvengers Compound, we see Bubbles, Jake the Dog, Rigby, Princess Bubblegum, Grizzly, and Grim walking out looking at something, the Gem Ship carried by Captain Planet as he lands the spacecraft. The landing gears deploy as they touch down. The entry hatch opens, and Steven and Amethyst walk out, Steven being supported by Amethyst. Bubbles runs to Steven to help him stand up. Steven grips Bubbles arm as he joins her.]''

Steven Universe: I couldn't stop him.

Bubbles: Neither could I.

Steven: I lost the kid.

Bubbles: Steven, we lost. And you look Different?

Steven Universe: Is ummm... [Steven struggles to ask about Connie.]

Connie Maheswaran: Oh my God! [She and Steven embrace.]

Steven Universe: It's okay.

''[In the Toonvengers Compound. The heroes are sitting in a living room area. Steven is sitting at a table, getting blood for healing.]''

Grizzly: It's been 23 days since Remote came to Earth.

Grim: World governments are in pieces. The parts that are still working are trying to take a census. And it looks like he did... he did exactly what he said he was gonna do. Remote wiped out fifty percent, of all living creatures.

Steven: Where is he now? Where?

Bubbles: We don't know. He just opened a portal and walked through.

[Cut to a shot of a sullen-looking Finn the Human, sitting on a bench, seemingly deep in thought.]

Steven Universe: What's wrong with him?

Rigby: Yeah, he's pissed. He thinks he failed. Which of course he did, but there's a lot of that's goin' around, ain't there?

Steven Universe: Honestly, until this exact second, I thought you were a Build-A-Bear.

Rigby: Maybe I am.

Bubbles: We've been hunting Remote for three weeks now. Deep Space scans, satellites, and we got nothing. Steven, you fought him.

Steven Universe: Who told you that? [Surprised] I didn't fight him. No, he wiped my face with a planet while the Bleecker Street Magician gave away the store. That's what happened. There was no fight.

Grim: Did he give you any clues, any coordinates?

Steven Universe: Pfft! I saw this coming a few years back. I had a vision. I didn't wanna believe it. Thought I was dreaming.

Bubbles: Steven, I'm gonna need you to focus.

Steven Universe: And I needed you. As in past tense. That trumps what you need. It's too late buddy. Sorry. You know what I need? ''[Steven stands, pushing things off the table with a clatter. Everyone winces at the noise.] ''I need to shower. And I believe I remember telling you, Bubbs.

''[Steven goes for Bubbles. Grizzly quickly comes in front of him, trying to stop him.]''

Grizzly: Steven, Steven, Steven, stop!

Steven Universe: Otherwise what we needed was a suit of armor around the world! Remember that? Whether it impacted our precious freedom or not- that's what we needed!

Bubbles: Well, that didn't work out, did it?

Steven Universe: I said, "we'll lose". You said, "We'll do that together too." And guess what, bubbs? We lost. You weren't there. But that's what we do, right? Our best work after the fact? We're the Toonvengers, we're the Toonvengers. Not the Prevengers, right?

Grizzly: Okay, you made your point. Just sit down, ok?

Steven Universe: Nah, nah, nah. [He pushes Grizzly away] Here's my point.

Grizzly: [To Steven] Sit down.

Steven Universe: [Referring to Planet] He's great, by the way. We need you. You're new blood.

Grizzly: Steven!

Steven Universe: Bunch of tired old mills! I got nothing for you, bubbs! I got no coordinates, no clues, no plan, no options. Zero. Zip. Nada. No trust. Liar.

''[Bubbles looks affected by Steven's words. The old friends just gaze at each other. After a moment, Steven rips his Crystal Gem from his Belly and shoves it into Bubbles hand.]''

Steven Universe: Here, take this. You find him, and you put that on. You hide.

''[Steven falls to the ground. Bubbles is by his side and everyone is starting to gather.]''

Steven Universe: I'm fine. I...

[Steven falls into a heap, unconscious.]

[Cut to a shot of Steven on a bed, with Connie at his side.]
