02x07 - Dance Dance Infiltration

[bunniefuu]

There's a point where it tips There's a point where it breaks

There's a point where it bends and the point we just can't take anymore

There's a line that we’ll cross And there’s no return

There's a time and a place No bridges left to burn

Anymore!

We can’t just wait with lives at stake

Until they think we’re ready

Our enemies are gathering

The storm is growing deadly

Now it's time to say goodbye

To the things we loved

And the innocence of youth

How the time seemed to fly

From our carefree lives

And the solitude and peace we always knew

Jaune: I see you're hiding at the punch bowl too.

Ruby: Eeyyup.

Jaune: To the socially awkward.

[Ruby chuckles] [Toast sounds]

Ruby: Sorry things didn't work out with Weiss.

Jaune: Meh... It's fine.

Jaune: Neptune's pretty... cool.

Jaune: I get why she went with him.

Ruby: What do you mean?

Jaune: Well... come on, not many people can pull off blue hair.

Ruby: No, I mean... Weiss came to the dance alone.

Jaune: [Chokes on drink] What?

Ruby: Yeah, she said she had too much to focus on to worry about to focus on boys.

[Laughter]

[Growling]

Jaune: Hold my punch.

Jaune: Hey... Pyrrha.

Pyrrha: Hello, Jaune.

Jaune: You okay? I... haven't seen you tonight.

Pyrrha: Arrived late, I'm afraid.

Jaune: Well... you... look really nice.

Pyrrha: Thank you.

Jaune: Your uh... date isn't going to b*at me up for saying that, is he?

Pyrrha: I think you're safe for tonight.

Jaune: So... where is the guy?

Pyrrha: There is no guy.

[Chuffs nervously]

Jaune: Uh... What?

Pyrrha: Nobody asked me.

Jaune: Uh... But that's-

Jaune: Eh- You're Pyrrha Nikos.

Jaune: H-How could nobody ask you?

Pyrrha: I've been... blessed...

Pyrrha: With incredible talents and opportunities.

Pyrrha: I'm constantly surrounded by love,

Pyrrha: And praise...

Pyrrha: But when you're placed on a pedestal like that for so long...

Pyrrha: You become separated from the people that put you there in the first place.

Pyrrha: Everyone assumes I'm too good for them.

Pyrrha: That I'm on a level they simply can't attain.

Pyrrha: It's become impossible to form any sort of meaningful relationship with people.

Pyrrha: That's what I like about you.

Pyrrha: When we met,

Pyrrha: You didn't even know my name.

Pyrrha: You treated me just like anyone else.

Pyrrha: And thanks to you...

Pyrrha: I've made friendships that will last...

Pyrrha: ...a lifetime.

Pyrrha: I guess...

Pyrrha: You're the kind of guy I wish I was here with.

Pyrrha: Someone who just saw me for me.

Jaune: Uh... W-Wait!

Jaune: Hey, uh... Jaune, right?

[Jaune sighs]

Jaune: Yeah...

Neptune: This party's pretty lame, huh? I mean, ballroom dancing.

Jaune: Pfft.

Jaune: Yeah...

Neptune: Cute girls, though, huh?

[Jaune growls]

Jaune: Is that all you think about?

Neptune: Huh?

Jaune: Do you even care about the girls you're hitting on? How they feel about you?

Neptune: Whoa! Where is this coming from?!

Jaune: How could you just turn her down like that?!

Neptune: Wait, w-who?

Jaune: Weiss!

Neptune: I uh...

Neptune: It uh...

Neptune: It just didn't work out.

Neptune: You know...

Jaune: What? You think you're too cool, too many other options?

Jaune: Weiss Schnee asked you to the dance.

Jaune: What in the world could possibly keep you from go-

Neptune: I can't dance.

Jaune: I... beg your pardon?

Neptune: I can't dance, man!

Jaune: But... you're...

Jaune: So...

Jaune: So... cool.

Neptune: Thank you. I try really, really hard.

Jaune: You would rather break a girl's heart and go to a dance alone than...

Jaune: ...just admit to everyone that you can't move in the rhythm to the music?

Neptune: That about sums it up, yeah.

Jaune: Well...

Jaune: I certainly feel a lot better about myself.

Neptune: Please don't tell anybody. Look...

Neptune: If you want Weiss,

Neptune: She's all yours.

Neptune: I don't wanna get in your way.

[Jaune sighs]

Jaune: Do you like her?

Neptune: Yeah, I mean...

Neptune: I don't know her too well yet, but...

Neptune: She seems pretty cool.

Jaune: Then just go... talk to her.

Jaune: No pickup lines, no suave moves...

Jaune: Just be yourself.

Jaune: I've heard that's the way to go.

Neptune: Yeah but that-

Jaune: Hey.

Jaune: You don't have to look cool all the time.

Jaune: In all honesty, if you could be a little less cool, I'd really appreciate it.

Neptune: Yeah.

Neptune: Okay.

Jaune: Go talk to her.

Jaune: I guarantee it'll make her night.

Neptune: Thanks.

Neptune: You're a really cool guy, Jaune.

Jaune: Alright, don't lie to my face.

[Jaune sighs]

Jaune: Alright...

Jaune: Only one thing left to do.

[Yang sighs]

Yang: You know...

Yang: I think we really needed this.

Ruby: Yeah! and you did a great job planning it too!

Yang: Aw, thanks! It wasn't all me, though. Weiss did a lot too.

Yang: Tomorrow it's back to work.

Ruby: Well...

Ruby: I'm sure we can handle whatever gets thrown at us.

[Crowd laughter]

Ruby: Except for that.

Pyrrha: Jaune?

Jaune: Eh... a promise is a promise.

[Pyrrha laughs]

Pyrrha: Jaune!

Pyrrha: You didn't have to!

Jaune: Hey.

Jaune: An Arc never goes back on his word.

Jaune: Now do you wanna stand there and laugh at me,

Jaune: Or do you wanna dance?

Pyrrha: I would love to dance.

Pyrrha: Oh!

Nora: Ren!

Nora: This

Nora: This is

Nora: This is happening!

Ren/Ozpin: Wait, what is happening?

Baby, it's time to make up your mind

I think that tonight is when the stars align

Honey, it's time to leave the doubt behind

Take my hand 'cause you and I are gonna shine

Pyrrha: I had no idea you were a dancer!

Jaune: Yeah, well, these things tend to happen when you grow up with seven sisters.

Weiss: So, what made you change your mind?

Neptune: Huh?

Weiss: You said you were embarrassed at first.

Weiss: What made you come talk to me?

Neptune: You're looking at him.

Neptune: You got some good friends looking out for ya.

Emerald: It appears all the dancers have partners.

Cinder: How long do I have?

Mercury: You should probably be home by midnight, to be safe.

Cinder: I'll keep my eye on the clock.

Other characters: Excuse me.

Other characters: No one's allowed in this area.

Other characters: Stop!

Other characters: Hey, man, do you know the Wi-Fi password?

Other characters: It's "beacon", but replace the "e" with a " " and add a pound symbol to the end.

[Rumbling sounds]

Cinder: Mmmm. That's handy.

Emerald: A party guest is leaving.

Cinder: [Sighs] Which one?

Emerald: Ironwood!

Mercury: Mercury: I guess the general's had enough fun for one night.

Mercury: Should we intervene?

Cinder: No.

Cinder: We're done here.

Ruby: Hello?

Ruby: Is anyone there?

Ruby: Hello?

Ruby: Excuse me.

Ruby: You know, it's not a masquerade party.

Ruby: So why don't you take off that-

[Elevator door opens]

Cinder: Oh, may I cut in?

Emerald: Of course.

Mercury: And how's your night been?

Cinder: Mmm... a little more exciting than expected.

Mercury: Should we be worried?

Cinder: Hardly.

Cinder: They'll be scratching their heads long after we finished what we came here for.

Mercury: So then what now?

Cinder: Enjoy the rest of the night.

Cinder: After all...

Cinder: It is a party.

'Cause baby, it's time to make up your mind

I think that tonight is when the stars align

Honey, it's time to leave the doubt behind

Take my hand 'cause you and I are gonna shine
