Quotes 

• Ty Lee : Calm down, you guys. This much negative energy is bad for your skin. You'll totally break out.

  Prince Zuko : Bad skin? Normal teenagers worry about bad skin. I don't have that luxury. My father decided to teach me a permanent lesson on my face.

  Ty Lee : Sorry, Zuko. I...

  Prince Zuko : For so long I thought that if my Dad accepted me, I'd be happy. I'm back home now. My Dad talks to me. Ha! He even thinks I'm a hero. Everything should be perfect, right? I should be happy now, but I'm not! I'm angrier than ever and I don't know why!

  Azula : There's a simple question you need to answer then. Who are you angry at?

  Prince Zuko : No one. I'm just angry.

  Mai : Yeah, who are you angry at, Zuko?

  Prince Zuko : Everyone. I don't know.

  Azula : Is it Dad?

  Prince Zuko : No, no.

  Ty Lee : Your uncle?

  Azula : Me?

  Prince Zuko : No, no, no, no!

  Mai : Then who? Who are you angry at?

  Azula : Answer the question, Zuko.

  Ty Lee : Talk to us.

  Mai : Come on. Answer the question.

  Azula : Come on, answer it.

  Prince Zuko : I'm angry at myself!

  Azula : Why?

  Prince Zuko : Because I'm confused. Because I'm not sure I know the difference between right and wrong anymore.

• Prince Zuko : I guess you wouldn't understand, would you, Azula? Because you're just *so* perfect.

  Azula : Well, yes, I guess you're right. I don't have sob stories like all of you. I could sit here and complain how our mom liked Zuko more than me, but I don't really care. My own mother... thought I was a monster... She was right, of course, but it still hurt.

• Prince Zuko : [Finds a seashell on the beach]  Here...

  [tries to give shell to Mai] 

  Prince Zuko : This is for you.

  Mai : Why would I want that?

  Prince Zuko : I saw it, and I thought it was pretty. Don't girls like stuff like this?

  Mai : Maybe stupid girls.

  Prince Zuko : [Angrily throws the shell away]  Forget it!

  Ty Lee : [the shell is picked up by a teen boy who gives it to Ty Lee. She happily accepts it]  Wow! Thanks. This is so pretty.

• [Zuko throws a family painting into the fire] 

  Ty Lee : What are you doing?

  Prince Zuko : What does it look like I'm doing?

  Ty Lee : But it's a painting of your family.

  Prince Zuko : You think I care?

  Ty Lee : I think you do.

  Prince Zuko : You don't know me! So why don't you just mind your own business?

  Ty Lee : I know you.

  Prince Zuko : No, you don't. You're stuck in your little Ty Lee world where everything's great all the time.

  Mai : Zuko, leave her alone

  Prince Zuko : 'I'm so pretty. Look at me. I can walk on my hands. Whoo!' Circus freak.

• Azula : I thought I'd find you here.

  Prince Zuko : Those summers we spent here seem so long ago. So much has changed.

  Azula : Come down to the beach with me. Come on. This place is depressing.

• [last lines] 

  Azula : You know what would make this trip *really* memorable?

  [they all go back to Chan's House and when Chan answers the door] 

  Azula : We've got some gad news, Chan.

  Prince Zuko : The party's over.

  [then they proceed to trash the house] 

• Ty Lee : Well, what's *your* excuse, Mai? You were an only child for 15 years, but even with *all* that attention, your aura is this dingy, pasty, gray...

  Mai : [Interrupting]  I don't believe in auras.

  Prince Zuko : Yeah, you don't believe in anything.

  Mai : Oh, well, I'm sorry I can't be as high-strung and crazy as the rest of you.

• [first lines] 

  Prince Zuko : Lighten up. So dad wanted to meet with his advisors alone, without anyone else around. Don't take it personally.

  Prince Zuko : Doing nothing is a waste of time. We're being sent away on a forced vacation. I feel like a child.

  Azula : Lighten up. So Dad wants to meet with his advisors alone, without anyone else around. Don't take it personally.
