Quotes 

• Uncle Iroh : I'm sorry. I just nag you because, well, since I lost my son...

  Prince Zuko : Uncle, you don't have to say it.

  Uncle Iroh : I think of you as my own.

  Prince Zuko : know Uncle. We'll meet again...

  [Uncle hugs Zuko] 

  Prince Zuko : ...after I have the Avatar.

• Uncle Iroh : Be careful what you wish for, Admiral. History is not always kind to its subjects.

  Admiral Zhao : I suppose you speak from experience. But rest assured, *this* will be nothing like your legendary *failure* at Ba Sing Se.

  Uncle Iroh : I hope not, for your sake.

• Uncle Iroh : [to Zhao]  The Fire Nation needs the moon, too. We all depend on the balance. Whatever you do to that spirit, I'll unleash on you tenfold! Let it go, now!

• Aang : Zhao, don't.

  Admiral Zhao : It's my destiny to destroy the moon and the Water Tribe.

  Aang : Destroying the moon won't hurt *just* the Water Tribe. It will hurt everyone, including you. Without the moon, everything would fall out of balance. You have no idea what kind of chaos that would unleash on the world.

  Uncle Iroh : He is right, Zhao.

• Admiral Zhao : Years ago, I stumbled upon a great and powerful secret. The identity of the Moon Spirit's mortal form.

  Uncle Iroh : [Stunned]  What?

  Admiral Zhao : I was a young Lieutenant serving under General Shoo in the Earth Kingdom. I discovered a hidden library, underground, in fact. I tore through scroll after scroll. One of them contained a detailed illustration and the words moon and ocean. I knew then that these spirits could be found and killed. And that it was my destiny to do so.

  Uncle Iroh : Zhao, the spirits are not to be trifled with.

  Admiral Zhao : Yes, yes, I know you fear the spirits, Iroh. I've heard rumors about your journey into the Spirit World. But the ocean and moon spirits gave up their immortality to become a part of *our* world. And, Now they will face the consequences.

• Uncle Iroh : It's almost twilight, Admiral. As your military consultant, I must advise you to halt your attack. The Waterbenders draw their power from the moon, and it is nearly full tonight. You should wait and resume the attack at daybreak.

  Admiral Zhao : Oh, I'm well aware of the moon problem. And I am working on a solution. But for now, daybreak it is.

• Admiral Zhao : I assure you. I have everything under control. I intend to remove the moon as a factor.

  Uncle Iroh : Remove the moon? How?

• Uncle Iroh : You have been touched by the moon spirit. Some of its life is in you.

  Princess Yue : Yes, you're right. It gave me life. Maybe I can give it back.
