02x01 - Best Day Ever

[bunniefuu]

SFX: [Falling thud]

SFX: [Laughter from Emerald]

Excuse me,

Sorry...

I'm not really from around here.

Um...

Would you mind pointing me in the direction of this shop?

Mh-hmm.

I knew you were lost.

Mercury.

I will seriously pay you to shut up.

That's not your money.

But it could be yours for five minutes of silence.

Hmmmm...

No deal.

Hngh.

Fine.

Whatever.

You want me. [Laughter]

So how much farther?

A few blocks.

Uhhhh (groaning)... This place is so dull.

Nuh... I kinda like it.

Tall buildings.

Diverse culture.

And nice dopey people who are easy to pickpocket.

That's every city.

(Mimicking a victim) Ooh, Emerald, Master Thief!

Please don't take my money!

I barely have enough to get by...

Hngh.

SFX: [Mercury sighs]

You're no fun today.

SFX: [Door chime rings]

SFX: [Bell rings]

Background/Voice-over: (Muffled voice): Be right there!

Welcome to Tukson's Book Trade! Home to every book under the sun.

How may uh... (breath hitches)

How may I help you?

Just browsin'.

Actually, I was wondering...

Do you have any copies of "The Thief and the Butcher"?

(clicks tongue) Yes, we do.

That's... great!

Would you... like a copy?

No.

Just wondering.

Oh, oh!

What about...

"Violet's Garden" in paperback?

He's got it. Hardback, too.

Oooh...

Eh... no pictures.

Hey!

Do you have any comics?

Near the front.

Oh! No, wait!

What about....

"Third Crusade"?

Um...

I...

...don't believe we carry that one.

Oh.

What was this place called again?

Tukson's Book Trade.

And...

You're Tukson?

That's right.

So then I take it, that you're the one, who came up with the catchphrase?

Yes.

And... what was it again?

SFX: [Tukson sighs]

Tukson's Book Trade. Home to every book under the sun.

Except... the "Third Crusade".

It's just a catchphrase.

It's false advertising!

You shouldn't make a promise you can't keep... Tukson.

I hear... you're planning on leaving.

Moving all the way to Vacuo.

Your brothers in the White Fang wouldn't be happy to hear that.

And neither are we.

You know who we are... don't you?

Yes.

And... you know why we're here?

Yes.

So.

Are you going to fight back?

YES!

What's with that?

Eh... I like the pictures.

What'cha doin'?

Nothing.

Just...

...going over notes from last semester.

Blem!

SFX: [Ruby clears her throat]

Sisters!

Friends!

Weiss.

Background/Voice-over: Weiss: Hey!

Four score and seven minutes ago,

I had a dream.

This ought to be good.

A dream that one day,

The four of us would come together, as a team

and have the most fun anyone has ever had!

EVER!

Did you steal my binder?

I am not a crook.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about kicking off the semester with a bang!

I always kick my semesters off with a Yang.

Eh...

Guys?

Am I right?

Look, guys. It's been a good two weeks and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year,

our second semester's going to be great!

But.

Classes start tomorrow.

Which is why I have taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today!

I don't know whether to be proud, or scared of what you have in store.

I don't know.

SFX: [Blake sighs]

I... think I might sit this one out.

Sit out or not, I think however we spend this last day,

we should do it as a team.

Background/Voice-over: Nora: I got it!

I for one think that-

Neptune: Heh... man that's harsh.

So then we were fighting side by side!

And she was super fast and I threw a banana at a guy

which was gross but it was awesome.

Sun: Right?

Nice!

And the best part is...

she's a faunus.

But that's a secret, okay?

Got it.

And not a "I'm gonna tell Scarlet the second Sun turns his back" secret.

I'm talking secret secret.

Whoa. Chill out man, okay? I got it.

I got it.

You better...!

Neptune: Pfff.

I just don't wanna screw this up, y'know?

The people here are the coolest!

No offense to you guys.

I don't take 'em.

Okay, they're just in here.

I'm really excited for you to meet them.

So... be cool okay?

Y'gonna be cool right?

Dude...

Good point.

Background/Voice-over: Background: FOOD FIGHT!!!

SFX: [Nora's booming laughter]

(singing) I'm Queen of the Castle! I'm Queen of the Castle!

Justice will be swift! Justice will be painful!

It will be DELICIOUS!!!

Background/Voice-over: YEAAAAAAH!

Off with their heads!

Yang, turkey!

Weiss!

Weiss!

Don't leave me!

NOOOOO!!!

I love these guys.

Children... please...

Do not play with your food.

Let it go.

SFX: [Glynda sighs]

They're supposed to be the defenders of the world.

Ozpin: And they will be.

But right now they're still children.

So why not let them play the part?

After all...

It isn't a role they'll have forever.

Oh! Look...! She sent the kids again...

This is turning out just like the divorce.

Emerald: Wuhuhuhuhuh... (in disgust)

Spare us the thought of you procreating.

That was a joke.

And.... this.

Just might- Tell me where you two have been all day?

What?

I'm a professional sweetheart. Pay attention, maybe you'll learn something.

Why do you have this address?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Yeah... I would!

Now... where have you been all day?

Cleaning up your problems.

One of them at least.

I had that under control.

Two packed bags and a ticket out of Vale said otherwise.

Listen you little punk.

If it were up to me, I would take you and your little street rat friend here and I would-

Background/Voice-over: Cinder: Do what, Roman?

I'd um...

...not k*ll them?

Cinder!

I thought I made it clear you were to eliminate the would-be runaway.

I was going to...

He was going to escape to Vacuo.

Mercury and I decided to take it upon ourselves to k*ll the rat.

I think he was some sort of cat, actually.

What? Like a puma?

Yeah... there you go.

Background/Voice-over: Cinder: Quiet.

Did I not specifically instruct you two to keep your hands clean while in Vale?

I just... thought-

Don't think.

Obey.

Yes ma'am.

It won't happen again.

And you.

Why wasn't this job done sooner?

Uhhh...

Sorry if I've been busy stealing every speck of Dust in the kingdom.

You're an inspiration to every punk with a g*n and a ski mask.

Look around kid, I've got this town running scared.

Police camping out in every corner,

dust prices through the roof,

and!

We're sitting pretty in an old warehouse with more dust, crystals, vials and rounds and we know what to do with!

Speaking of which.

If you guys wouldn't mind filling me in on your grand master plan,

It might actually make my next string of robberies go a little smoother.

Oh, Roman. Have a little faith.

You'll know what you need when you need to know.

Besides,

we're done with Dust.

Ooooohkay...

...then. What now?

We're moving.

Have the White Fang clear out this building.

I'll send you details and coordinates tonight.

Coordinates?

We're proceeding to phase two.
