Quotes 

• Korra : Ikki! I swear if you don't leave us alone, I'm gonna-Oh! Hey Tenzin. Come right in.

  Tenzin : Good day, ladies. Asami, welcome to the island.

  Asami Sato : Thank you for having me.

  [Looks at Korra] 

  Tenzin : Beifong's replacement, Saikhan, is going to be inducted as the new Chief of Police later. I think we should both be there.

• Saikhan : You'll have to take that up with Councilman Tarrlok.

  Tenzin : Oh, I plan to. At the council meeting, first thing in the morning.

  Korra : You're officially the worst Chief of Police. Ever!

  Tenzin : Calm down, Korra. I'll get this sorted out, we just need to be patient. But you really are the worst. Ever!

• Korra : I don't understand what's wrong with me. I've memorized nearly all of the practice forms, but I still can't produce a single measly puff of air! I'm a failure.

  Tenzin : No, you're not. You just need to work through this airbending block.

  Korra : Amazing advice. I'll get right on that.

  Tenzin : I wasn't finished yet. You see, Aang not only had his bending teachers, but also his past lives to call upon for guidance. Have you ever made contact with your past lives?

  Korra : No, of course I haven't. Didn't you get the memo from the White Lotus? I'm a spiritual failure, too.

  Tenzin : You may have made a connection without realizing it. Perhaps something you mistook as a dream?

  Korra : Maybe. I had a few weird hallucinations, but I hardly even remember them.

  Tenzin : And did you see any previous Avatars in these visions?

  Korra : I saw Aang. It seemed like he was in trouble. What do you think it means?

  Tenzin : Hmm, I don't know. But I urge you to meditate on these visions. I believe Aang's spirit must be trying to tell you something.
