All: # We are the Crystal Gems # we'll always save the day Steven: # and if you think we can't # All: # we'll always find a way # - # that's why the people # - # of this world # - Garnet: # believe in # - # Garnet # - # Amethyst # - # and Pearl # And Steven! 1x43 - "Maximum Capacity" Steven: And I really like the ones that shoot up - kind of spirally with the long tails.
- Steven, I'm slipping.
- Hold that end up a little more.
- Steven: Oh.
Sorry! That's okay.
I'm not sure the "Summer wax special" sign was that effective anyway, but I can't bring myself to throw myself out.
Might as well store it for the rest of the Winter.
Steven: So, which firework is your favorite, Dad? Oh.
Uh, I don't know.
I just like watching them - together with you.
- Steven: Yeah, me, too! I can't wait for New Year's eve tomorrow.
It feels like I've waited a whole year! Well, you feel that way for a reason.
Mm.
Mm.
Hmm.
[Rumble! Rumble! Crash!.]
Whoa! I haven't really cleared this place out since your mom [coughs.]
Maybe this is good timing a new year coming up.
I should just get rid of all this stuff.
Steven: I could take these off your hands.
That's a start, but I'll need a little more help than that, and this guy's not gonna do it.
Who would organize - a mess this big, though? - Steven: Ah! I know just the gem! Here's Amethyst! - Amethyst: Surprise.
- Oh.
- Steven: Something wrong? - Well, no.
I just thought you meant Pearl.
[Grunts.]
Steven: What?! I'm not letting Pearl see this! Amethyst's room is full of junk.
She knows how to handle a mess.
- I don't know about this.
- Amethyst: Hey, man, it's cool.
I've seen your junk before.
What you need here is a system something to separate - the trash from the garbage.
- Steven: Well, how 'bout this? - Both: Huh? - Steven: I made organizational boxes.
This way we can sort everything into easy categories keep, sell, burn.
- What do you think? - I don't know if we should - burn anything.
- Amethyst: Ah, come on, Greg!? - What are you afraid of? - Fire? [laughs.]
- Keep.
Keep.
Keep.
- Whoa! Hold on.
Aren't we supposed to be throwing stuff away? Amethyst: Are you crazy?! You've got some seriously good - junk in here, man, like - Steven: Books! - Ah.
So, books are cool again.
- Steven: Yeah, ever since you guys grounded me from TV for a thousand years.
- We did what, now? - Steven: Can I have these? Uh, hold on.
Let me see some of those first.
Yeah, I think you'll like this one and this one, and, uh maybe we'll save this one for when you're a little older.
[Chuckles.]
[grunting.]
- Ugh! - Amethyst: Ha! You bought this?! Ha! Uh I guess I don't need these old dumbbells.
Amethyst: Ah, come on.
Don't you want to get yoked?! [Both grunting.]
Come on, Amethyst.
Knock it off.
Oh, no.
- How did this happen? - Steven: A photo of you and Mom.
Ah, it's it's okay.
- It's just the frame.
- Amethyst: He-e-e-e-y! I found something that definitely doesn't belong with - all this this junk.
- Is it the deed to my uncle's mansion? Amethyst: Even better.
Is that "Li'l Butler"? Oh, where have you been - all these years?! - Amethyst: # Li'l Butler, that's you # - Steven: Amethyst, what's "Li'l Butler"? - Oh, man.
Steven, we used to watch these all the time when you were little.
You've got to see this! Steven: Hey! I-I'm still grounded, you know! Amethyst: Come on.
Just one, for old times' sake.
Okay, but just one.
[Mid-tempo music plays.]
An orphaned boy with sass and pep got dropped off on our mansion step Li'l Butler Li'l Butler we washed his face of dirt and leaves, and now he works here as our jeeves # Li'l Butler Li'l Butler oh, littlest butler oh, you're the butler who butlers our hearts # # so mop the floor and dust the shelves and teach us lessons 'bout ourselves # Li'l Butler Li'l Butler, that's you You people have too much money.
[Twinkle!.]
Steven: Whoa.
Ah, no! Grounded! Sh-Sh-Shouldn't we finish cleaning the storage unit?! Amethyst: [laughing.]
Oh, man! Is this the pilot? They didn't even have - the dog yet.
- Oh, yeah! They just had a cat named "Money"! [Both laugh.]
Hey, Steven, it's getting pretty late.
[ringing bell in TV.]
Why don't we just call it a day? We can pick this up again tomorrow.
Steven: Uh okay.
See you tomorrow, Dad! Did any of you order a baby? [laughing audience.]
Steven: Hey.
I'll take two breakfast-only - breakfast specials, please.
- Sure.
Ronaldo! Can I get a double order of hash browns? Steven: Yeah.
My Dad and I got a big day cleaning the storage unit.
Got to start the year off - right, you know.
- Wow! That's really practical of you, Steven.
My Dad and I are restocking all the condiments.
I get to clean the bottles.
We're supposed to wash them twice, but I always wash them three times.
Odd numbers just feel cleaner.
Steven: Hey, are you going to the New Year's - fireworks tonight? - Yeah! It's supposed to be pretty darn spectacular! Mayor Dewey's been setting up all morning.
There are gonna be blue ones! - I love the blue ones.
- Steven: It's gonna be so awesome.
[Laughter and applause.]
You guys? Dad? I'll look like a fool if I show up to school on just one pony! Both: You people have too much money! [laughter.]
Amethyst: What a surprise.
Li'l Butler does it again.
You can always count on Li'l B.
Amethyst: [chuckles.]
Yeah.
Everything's always right with him.
One more? - Do it! - Steven: Hey! Oh, Steven! What are you doing coming - over so late? - Steven: It's morning.
Oh, wow.
I guess we lost track of the time.
Steven: You never stopped watching "Li'l Butler"?! Ugh! Amethyst: When you get to season 3, it really starts getting good.
That's when the uptight neighbors, the Richingtons, move next-door.
Ha! They're a riot! [Laughs.]
- Well, I never! - Well, I always! [Laughter.]
- Steven: Well, you want to get started? - Oh, yeah.
[Groans.]
Amethyst: Ooh, this part is so good.
[Horse neighs.]
[laughter.]
Steven: I guess the storage unit can wait.
Yeah, buddy.
That sounds like a good idea.
- Amethyst: All right! Snacks! - Steven: Want to just meet - at the fireworks? - Sure.
Steven: Okay.
I'll see you there.
- Pearl: Like this? - Steven: Yeah! You guys are killin' it! And here are some pots and pans.
We got to make lots of noise.
Dad and I do this every year.
I brought some for Amethyst, too.
- They should be here any second.
- Pearl: Why would she come with Greg? [Gasps.]
- Are they hanging out again? - Steven: What do you mean, "again"? Garnet: They'd better not be watching - that dumb show.
- Steven: "Li'l Butler"? [scoffs.]
Pearl: Unbelievable! They really are! They used to disappear for days, watching those obnoxious tapes over and over and over, until - Steven: Until what? - Pearl: I don't know.
One day, they just stopped.
[Cheers and applause.]
Happy new year, Steven.
How's my volume? [Taps softly.]
Garnet: It's low.
[Clangs loudly.]
[mid-tempo music plays.]
[whirs.]
What's that? I'm missing the fireworks! It's past midnight! How did I get so sucked into this show again? It's like everything else just disappears! [groans.]
Amethyst: Whoa, whoa.
Don't go.
We're having a really good time! Here.
Look.
I've got the 2-part Hawaii special.
But Steven really wanted me to do New Year's.
Amethyst: He'll be fine.
He's Steven.
- He's tough.
- I wanted to be there! Amethyst: Here.
Here.
It would have been like this.
Whoa! Fireworks! [Laughs.]
Hey, Dad, come on! Now let's watch - some "Li'l Butler"! - Amethyst, you know how I feel - about shapeshifting.
- Amethyst: Geez.
Sorry.
I was just trying to cheer you up.
Oh, that's right I forgot.
You're so sensitive.
I know you like making me uncomfortable, but it's not funny.
I can't stay here and humor you.
- I have to be there for my son.
- Well, what about me, huh? I had someone who was always there for me until she started hanging out with you! Don't do this, Amethyst seriously.
Amethyst: I bet you'd stay for her.
- You wouldn't.
- Amethyst: What? Do this? - Where are you going after Hawaii? - Amethyst: Hey, Greg [Chuckles.]
Turn around.
Check it out! I know you're doing it! I want to be friends again.
I really do.
But I can't let you do this - to me again! - Steven: Stop! [Laughter.]
[Static.]
What are you two doing?! I get it.
It's hard to deal with stuff from the past.
You want to put it off because there's tons of it and it's really heavy and it means a lot to you, so it's hard to let anything go.
But you got to, because this thing is full! Seriously, when did you even have a cat?! [Static continues.]
Okay.
We're finishing this today.
Steven: Right.
What? Pearl? Pearl: Hello, Greg.
Nice of you to join us.
- I don't believe it! - Steven: Whoa! - I'm so sorry about the mess.
- Steven: Was this your idea? - Pearl: Well - Garnet: It was Amethyst's idea.
Amethyst: I-I just thought we could take all this stuff back to the temple.
It can fit in my room.
That way, you don't have to throw anything away.
But But you can keep this.
Uh thank you, Amethyst.
- Steven, I'm slipping.
- Hold that end up a little more.
- Steven: Oh.
Sorry! That's okay.
