S1E17- Points of Origin

"Points of Origin" appeared on the screen.

This time Nora, Ruby, and Yang hummed the theme.

The scene opened to show Tex talking to the blues.

Tex: "As far as I'm concerned, I'm square with you."

Caboose and Tucker simultaneously turn to face Church, like a tennis match or something.

Church: "I saved you from a life of imprisonment. How the hell are you square with me ?"

"She probably could have escaped on her own." Yang said.

"Yeah, those two are idiots." Blake said.

"They're all idiots." Weiss said.

Caboose and Tucker simultaneously turn to Tex

Tex: "Because I didn't kill you back at Sidewinder."

"Why did she kill everyone on sidewinder though?" Pyrrha wondered.

"She's a freelancer, they probably hired her to." Jaune explained.

Caboose and Tucker simul… you get the idea

Church: "You know, I don't really see how not killing somebody is the same thing as doing them a favor."

Tex: "Well, if you don't appreciate it, I could just kill you right now."

Church: "(before Caboose and Tucker can turn to him) No you can't, I'm already dead, bitch! I guess the joke's on you!"

"He's the dead one, I would say the joke's on him." Blake chuckled.

Caboose: "Stop it! Stop fighting. Can't you see that you're tearing us apart? WHAT ABOUT US?"

Tex: "What about you?"

Caboose: "We helped you too. And what do we get? Nothing!"

Tex: "Well yeah, but…"

Church: "Yeah, but nothin' . He's got a point."

Tex: "I did help them get the flag back."

"I still don't see how the flag is that important." Nora said.

"Nora, if you had a flag for being queen of the castle would you want the flag destroyed?" Ren asked.

"Ohhhhhh now I get it." Nora said.

Tucker: "Yeah, but you were paid to do that. We rescued you as a favor. We could have just let you rot in the red army prison, it wouldn't have made any difference to us."

Tex: "Fine, I'll stay here as long as it takes to help you guys win this thing. As soon as I have, I'm outta here. What do you need me to do?"

"It shouldn't take long to win against them. They have a guy who can possess them, a mercenary who can kill an entire team, and a tank." Blake pointed out.

Tucker: "I have no idea. If you knew how to fix a tank, I would have you do that."

Tex: "okay."

Caboose: "Wait, you know how to fix Sheila?… I love you."

"Caboose seems really attached to that tank." Weiss said.

"He's not the only one." Blake said, looking at Ruby.

Cut to the red base

Lopez: "Entonces la décias "tu nos pesos más, yo peso más." Entonces pusieron los de nuestros cuerpos sobre la escala y fue determinado quién tenía el peso más grande. Después de eso me llamarían Lopez la Pesado."

[ so I told him "you do not weigh more, I weigh more." Then we put our bodies on the scale and determined that I had the greatest weight. After that they called me "Lopez the heavy"]

{the subtitles are not in the actual episode this is the translation for you all- CeruleanLancer}

"If only I knew how to spell of this stuff." Ren said furiously jotting down everything Lopez said as fast as he could.

Grif: "Man. First he doesn't talk at all, and now we can't get him to shut up. What's he saying?"

Simmons: "What're you asking me for?"

Grif: "Well you know, because you're of uh, a Latino persuasion."

"Latino?" Ren muttered.

Simmons: "Simmons isn't a Spanish name, you dumbass. I'm Dutch Irish."

"Hmm, so Latino is a race that speaks spanish. Dutch Irish is something else." Ren said to himself.

Grif: "But I thought-"

Simmons: "What."

Grif: "Eh, never mind."

Donut: "I'm from Iowa."

"Iowa…" Ren frowned.

Grif and Simmons: " Nobody cares!"

Cut to Tucker and Caboose sneaking up on Sheila.

Church: "Okay, take it easy guys, when I was over at the red base, I saw that they've already got their jeep fixed. So whatever you do, don't let 'em see us before we get Sheila back online."

Caboose: "Okay, okay. Even if we get Sheila fixed, how are we going to turn her over, I mean it's not as if we could just lift!"

In the background, Tex flips Sheila back over

"Wow she's strong." Yang muttered.

Caboose: "Oh. She is a very strong lady."

Yang grinned.

Church: "I'm the one that's the least visible, so I'm gonna head up here to higher ground, I'll keep an eye on the red base. If I see anything, I'll let you know."

Caboose: "Great, I'll come with you!"

Church: "That kinda defeats the purpose, Caboose."

Caboose: "Okay. What if I'm really… (quieter) really… (whispering) quiet?"

"It's like Caboose is Ruby whenever I try to be stealthy." Blake said.

"Or Nora when I try to be stealthy." Ren said.

Said girls were both quite offended.

"What!? Ren I am very stealthy."

"But I am really really quiet!"

Church: "Do you even understand what the term 'visibility' means?"

Caboose: "Ah hah hah, uhh… good one Church."

Church: "Seriously. You don't know what it means, do you."

Caboose: "Uh no."

Church: "Caboose, just stay here man, and try not to swallow your tongue or anything like that."

Tucker: "Just watch the red base, and tell us if you see any movement."

Tucker runs up to Tex, welding on the tank

Tucker: "So, I suppose if you're helping us, you're not as mean as I thought."

Tex: "I wouldn't say I'm mean, I just get hired to do mean things."

"That's mean." Ruby said.

Tucker: "Yeah, but you like it."

Tex: "Well I think it's important to enjoy what you do."

"That's true though." Pyrrha said.

"I love being a huntress!" Yang yelled.

"We're still students." Weiss pointed out.

"Well you can love being a student while I love being a huntress." Yang shot back.

Tucker: "So let's say I paid you to kill Caboose."

The scene cuts to show Caboose looking at Blue base instead of Red base like he was supposed to.

Weiss grinned at that, no one else caught the joke but her.

Tucker: "You would still do it, right? Even though you're supposed to be helping us?"

Tex: "Is this a hypothetical discussion, or should we start talking numbers?"

Tucker: "Yeah, I don't wanna talk about this any more."

Church is up on the ledge where he got blown up

Church: "Hey Tucker!"

Tucker: "What!?"

Church: "What the hell is my body still doing up here?"

"They didn't bury him? That's mean." Nora said.

Tucker: "That's part of being dead, Church. Your body doesn't really move around much any more. Maybe you haven't fully grasped the concept yet."

Church: "Alright, well let me rephrase that then. Why in the hell haven't you buried my body yet?"

Tucker: "Buried? With what? All we have are pistols and rifles. What do you want me to do, shoot you a grave?"

"How do they not have standard military materials?" Weiss said, surprised.

Church: "Well then how about shipping me back home. You know, let the loved ones pay a little respect."

Tucker: "Well Church, here's your girlfriend. Tex, as one of Church's loved ones, would you like to pay your respects?"

Tex turns around and starts working on the tank again

Tucker: "That was a stirring eulogy. Rest in peace, good buddy!"

The screen cut to black.

Yang, Ruby, Jaune, Pyrrha, and Nora laughed at that.

"I'm really starting to like this show, I like the sense of humor." Pyrrha said.
