Steven: My mother once told me that bad news was just good news in disguise.

Lapis: Was this before she gave up her gem?

Steven: Yes it was.

Dipper: But! The point being, that even though things look bad—

Mabel: —there is a rainbow around every corner!

Stan: And nothing but smooth sailing ahead!

Amethyst: Smooth sailing, Stan?!

The crew turns their attention to the back of the yacht where the ocean’s waves are rising, menacingly. They are quickly surrounded by dark stormy clouds and heavy winds. All the while, a muffled sound could be heard coming from the boat’s galley.

(Explanation for the GIF: Squidward is Stanley, the screaming customers behind him is the panicking crew (Dipper, Mabel, Lapis, Steven, and Amethyst), and Mr. Krabs is Greg. The goopy monster chasing after him is the tidal wave.

I imagine that Greg would jump out of the galley, all tied up, and say something similar like “it’s the tidal wave!”

Why’s Greg all tied up? He was trying to convince Stanley to turn the (rented) boat around after hearing on the radio about a big storm coming in. Stan, of course, took care of it by tying Greg up (with Amethyst’s help) and pretending that everything is normal.

Things are not normal. Even Amethyst is starting to doubt Stan’s composure to keep the “family outing” going.
