Quotes 

• Prince Zuko : There's one technique you need to know before facing my Father... how to redirect lightning. If you let the energy in your own body flow, the lightning will follow it. You turn your opponent's energy against them.

  Aang : That's like Waterbending.

  Prince Zuko : Exactly. My uncle invented this technique himself by studying Waterbenders.

  Aang : So, have *you* ever redirected lightning before?

  Prince Zuko : Once... against my father.

  Aang : What did it feel like?

  Prince Zuko : Exhilarating... but terrifying. You feel so powerful holding so much energy in your body, but you know if you make the wrong move, it's over.

  Aang : [Nervous chuckle]  Well, not *over* over. I mean, there's always Katara and a little Spirit Water action, am I right?

  Katara : Actually, I used it all up after Azula shot you.

  Aang : Oh.

  Prince Zuko : You'll have to take the Fire Lord's life before he takes yours.

  Aang : I'll just do that.

  [Zuko training Aang in Firebending] 

  Prince Zuko : More ferocious! Imagine striking through your opponent's heart!

  Aang : I'm trying!

  Prince Zuko : Now let me hear you roar like a tigerdillo!

  [Aang gives out a weak roar] 

  Prince Zuko : That sounded pathetic. I said roar!

• Aang : [about Sokka's sand sculpture]  Is that a... blubbering blob monster?

  Sokka : No! It's Suki!

  [Aang and Toph laugh] 

  Toph : Suki, we'll all understand if you break up with him over this.

  Suki : I think it's sweet.

  [Sokka kisses her] 

• Katara : What's wrong with you? You could've hurt Aang.

  Prince Zuko : What's wrong with me? What's wrong with all of you? How can you sit around having beach parties when Sozin's Comet is only three days away...? Why are you all looking at me like I'm crazy?

  Aang : About Sozin's Comet... I was actually gonna wait to fight the Fire Lord until after it came.

  Prince Zuko : After?

  Aang : I'm not ready. I need more time to master Firebending.

  Toph : And frankly, your Earthbending could still use some work, too.

• Katara : Aang, you don't have to do this alone.

  Toph Beifong : Yeah, if we all fight the Fire Lord together, we got a shot at taking him down.

  Sokka : All right! Team Avatar is back! Air, Water, Earth, Fire... Fan and Sword!

  Aang : Fighting the Fire Lord is gonna be the hardest thing we've ever done together, but I wouldn't want to do it any other way.

• Aang : This goes against everything I learned from the monks. I can't just go around wiping out people I don't like.

  Sokka : Sure, you can. You're the Avatar. If it's the name of keeping balance, I'm pretty sure the universe will forgive you.

  Aang : This isn't a joke, Sokka! None of you understands the position I'm in!

  Katara : Aang, we do understand. It's just...

  Aang : Just what, Katara? What?

  Katara : We're trying to help.

  Aang : Then, when you figure out a way for me to beat the Fire Lord without taking his life, I'd love to hear it!

  [He stretches his left arm out and the fingers on his right hand touch the fingers on his left hand and swiftly traces a path down his arm, shoulder, stomach and back out the other side] 

  Prince Zuko : ... the lightning will follow it.

  [His left hand touches his right, they are parallel to each other] 

  Prince Zuko : You turn your opponent's energy against them.

  Aang : That's like waterbending.

  Prince Zuko : Exactly. My Uncle invented this technique himself by studying waterbenders.

  Aang : Hey, Momo. I just had the strangest dream. Wait.

  [looks around at strange surroundings] 

  Aang : Where are we?
