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

Ruby: Yep.

Jaune: To the socially awkward.

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

Jaune: Meh, it's fine. Neptune's pretty cool. 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: Uh, what?

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

Jaune: Hold my punch. 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 beat me up for saying that, is he?

Pyrrha: I think you're safe for tonight.

Jaune: So, uh, where is the guy?

Pyrrha: There is no guy.

Jaune: Hah, What?

Pyrrha: Nobody asked me.

Jaune: But that's ... You're Pyrrha Nikos! H-How could nobody ask you?

Pyrrha: I've been blessed with incredible talents and opportunities. I'm constantly surrounded by love and praise, but when you're placed on a pedestal like that for so long, you become separated from the people that put you there in the first place. Everyone assumes I'm too good for them. That I'm on a level they simply can't attain. It's become impossible to form any sort of meaningful relationship with people. That's what I like about you. When we met, you didn't even know my name. You treated me just like anyone else. And thanks to you, I've made friendships that will last a lifetime. I guess, you're the kind of guy I wish I was here with. Someone who just saw me for me.

Jaune: Wait-

Neptune: Hey! Jaune, right?

Jaune: Yeah.

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

Jaune: Yeah.

Neptune: Cute girls, though, huh?

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's this coming from?

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

Neptune: Wait, who!?

Jaune: Weiss!

Neptune: I, uh... It, uh... it just didn't work out, you know?

Jaune: What, you think that you're too cool, too many other options? Weiss Schnee asked you to the dance and what in the world could possibly keep you from go-

Neptune: I can't dance!

Jaune: Beg your pardon?

Neptune: I can't dance, man!

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

Neptune: That about sums it up, yeah.

Jaune: Well, I certainly feel a lot better about myself.

Neptune: Please don't tell everybody. Look, if you want Weiss, she's all yours. I don't wanna get in your way.

Jaune: Do you like her?

Neptune: Yeah, I mean I don't know her too well yet, but she seems pretty cool.

Jaune: Then just go talk to her. No pickup lines, no suave moves, just be yourself. I've heard that's the way to go.

Neptune: Yeah, but then-

Jaune: Hey! You don't have to look cool all the time. In all honesty, if you could be a little less cool, I really appreciate it.

Neptune: Yeah, okay.

Jaune: Go talk to her. I guarantee it'll make the night.

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

Jaune; Not at my face. All right, only one thing left to do.

Yang: You know, 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. Tomorrow it's back to work.
