In the farm:
Oscar was reading his book until his aunt called for him.
Oscar's aunt: Oscar, supper's almost ready!
Oscar: What're we having?
Oscar's aunt: Doesn't matter! You're eating it!
Oscar: I never agreed to these terms!
Oscar's aunt: It's part of the "living under my roof" contract. Read the fine print, then come wash up!
As Oscar goes to open his door, Ozpin speaks.

Ozpin: We have to leave. Oscar. Oscar!
Oscar: I've decided you're not real, so you might as well give up.
Ozpin: I understand how you're feeling. I went through the same panic and confusion.
Oscar: It's not real. It's not real. It's not real.
Ozpin: I can assure you, you're perfectly sane.
Oscar: I'm talking to a voice in my head.
Ozpin: I didn't say you were normal. I said you were sane. There's quite a significant difference between-
Oscar: Shut up! You think this is funny? It's not.
Ozpin: We are in complete agreement on that matter, i promise you. Believe me, I wish this weren't the case. But as I've told you, our aura, our souls, are combined.
Oscar: I'm done listening to you.
Ozpin: Have you ever been to Haven.
Oscar: I told you I'm not going, and I told you I'm done listening.
Ozpin: Do you think you could describe the headmaster's office?
Oscar: No. Why would I know that? I've never seen-
Ozpin: Try. Right now.
Oscar: It's probably... it's... it's autumn colored... with a large mahogany desk. There's a small table and chairs in the corner for guests, with a tea set that... I... I gave him. Why did I say that? Why do I know that? Why did I say that?
Ozpin: Because I helped build that school, and the tea set was gift to the man running it now.
Oscar sits back on his bed.
Ozpin: If you don't believe me; you can look it up. If I recall, your aunt has several books on Mistral downstairs. I'm certain you could find a picture in one of them.
Oscar: That... that's right, I must've seen it in a picture.
Ozpin: Oscar...
Oscar: Stop talking to me!
Ozpin: I have a grave responsibility to uphold. We both do.
Oscar: I never agreed to anything...
Ozpin: No, you didn't. And neither did I, at first. But you do have an opportunity.
Oscar: For what?
Ozpin: Greatness, hopefully. Greatness in knowing that when the world needed help, you were the one to reach out your hand. It won't come without hardship, without sacrifice, but I know you don't want to live the rest of your life working as a farmhand in Mistral.
Oscar: So you just decided to read my thoughts?
Ozpin: I... well... They're our thoughts, now.
Oscar: Get out of my head!
Oscar's aunt: Oscar! Suppertime! I better see clean hands!

In Weiss's room:
Jacques: Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. Do you have any idea what your stunt cost us?
Weiss: I-
Jacques: And don't think I'm just talking about alien here! Our reputation! Our... our...
Weiss: I want to leave.
Jacques: I bet your pardon?
Weiss: I said, I want to leave.
Tails: If she's gonna leave, then I am too.
Weiss: We don't want to stay here anymore. We don't want to stay in Atlas anymore!
Jacques: Young lady, I don't give a damn about what you want! This isn't about you. This is about the Schnee family name and your apparent insistence on dragging it through the mud!
Weiss: I have done nothing but fight to uphold the honor of my family name, a name that you married into!
As Jacques goes to slap Weiss, Tails holds his hand.
Tails: You're not touching Weiss, nor hurting her!
Tails let's go of his hand.
Jacques: This behavior of yours Is incredibly disappointing. You couldn't possibly understand the lengths I've gone to in order to keep this family where it is. If you think running off like your sister is going to make the Schnee name stronger, you're wrong. Siding with her only divides us.
Weiss: I'm not siding with anyone. I'm doing what I feel is right, and that does not include wasting my time up here with these clueless people in Atlas. The Schnee family legacy isn't yours to leave. It's mine. And I'll do it as a huntress.
Jacques: No... you won't. You're not leaving Atlas. You're not to leave the manor grounds unless i specifically allow it. You are going to remain here, out of sight and out of trouble, until you and I come to an agreement on your future.
Tails: You can't do that! She'll never agree to anything you do! You use people for your company!
Jacques: You be quite! I don't know what you're doing staying with Weiss, but you're leaving here!
Weiss: No! He's staying with me!
Jacques: Anyway, your presumption that you can simply have whatever it is you want is a clear sign of our failure as parents. But from now on, I'll be giving you the full attention you require, starting by keeping you where I can see you.
Weiss: You can't just keep me from leaving!
Jacques: I can, and the staff here will make sure of it.
Weiss: So now I'm just your prisoner?!
Jacques: You're a child, and children are grounded when they misbehave.
Tails: You're gonna make it worse.
Weiss: Tails is right. People will ask questions! They'll want to know why the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company is suddenly nowhere to be found!
Jacques: Which is why you are no longer the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company.
