Thank you two.

I've been able to understand Tai's line, but I've felt  that it's difficult for me to understand Salem's line.

i will repeat to watch this episode more times. From what I understand, Salem's speech is pretty much...

"The ability to gain strength from a small spark of hope is mankind's greatest attribute, which is why I will focus all of my power on destroying mankind's hope. How does it feel knowing that you and your guardians have failed and that I will destroy everything you have? You're right to put faith in mankind. When they all work together against an enemy, they are a threat. But if I divide them and place doubt in their minds, they lose that power. At first, they won't realize that their power is gone. Just like you, Ozpin, they will cling to their hope and aspirations. But this is merely my first move in our chess game. Go ahead and send your guardians, huntsmen, and huntresses. When they fail and you turn to your smaller soul (Ruby), you will be sending her to the same pitiful demise that all of the others met. This is the beginning of the end, Ozpin. And I can't wait to destroy you."
