Avatar: The Last Airbender quotes
444 total quotesKatara: [voiceover]Water, Earth, Fire, Air. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept balance between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless firebenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years have passed and the Fire Nation is nearing victory in the war. Two years ago, my father and the men of my tribe journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Fire Nation, leaving me and my brother to look after our tribe. Some people believe that the Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads and that the cycle is broken, but I haven't lost hope. I still believe that somehow the Avatar will return to save the world.
Sokka: It`s not getting away from me this time! Watch and learn, Katara. This is how you catch a fish!
Katara: .......!! Sokka ... look!
Katara: .......!! Sokka ... look!
Aang: This is Appa, my flying bison.
Sokka (sarcastically): Right, and this is Katara, my flying sister.
Sokka (sarcastically): Right, and this is Katara, my flying sister.
Aang: [to Katara] Come... closer... closer... Will you go penguin sledding with me?
Sokka: (to Aang, who is playing around) Stop! Stop it right now! What's wrong with you? We don't have time for fun and games with the war going on.
Aang: War? What war?
Aang: War? What war?
Zuko: I've spent years preparing for this encounter. Training, meditating...you're just a child!
Aang: Well, you're just a teenager.
Aang: Well, you're just a teenager.
Iroh: Good news for the Fire Lord. The nation's greatest threat is just a little kid.
Sokka: (to himself as he chops at the ice holding his feet down) I'm just a guy with a boomerang. I didn't ask for all this flying and magic.
Iroh: So this is how the great Commander Zhao acts in defeat? Disgraceful. Even in exile, my nephew is more honorable than you. Thanks again for the tea. It was delicious. [Iroh and Zuko leave]
Zuko: Did you really mean that, Uncle?
Iroh: Of course. I told you ginseng tea is my favorite.
Zuko: Did you really mean that, Uncle?
Iroh: Of course. I told you ginseng tea is my favorite.
Katara:Aang? Before we get to the temple, I want to talk to you about the airbenders.
Aang: What about 'em?
Katara: Well, I just want you to be prepared for what you might see. The Fire Nation is ruthless. They killed my mother and they could have done the same to your people.
Aang: Just because no one has seen an airbender doesn't mean the Fire Nation killed them all... They probably escaped.
Katara: I know it's hard to accept.
Aang: You don't understand, Katara. The only way to get to an airbender temple is on a flying bison, and I doubt the Fire Nation has any flying bison.

Aang: This whole Avatar thing... maybe the monks made a mistake.
Gyatso: The only mistake they made was telling you before you turned sixteen. But we can't concern ourselves with what was. We must act on what is.
Aang: But Gyatso, how do I know if I'm ready for this?
Gyatso: Your questions will be answered when you are old enough to enter the Air Temple sanctuary. Inside you will meet someone who will guide you on your journey.
Aang: (really happy) Who is it?
Gyatso: When you are ready he will reveal himself to you.

Zuko: [Studying a map detailing reported Avatar sightings scattered around] How am I going to find the Avatar, Uncle? He is clearly a master of evasive maneuvering.
[Cut to Sokka, looking at a similar map, which is blank]
Sokka: [to Aang] You have no idea where you're going, do you?
Aang: No but I know it's near water [zooms out to show the ocean below]
Sokka: We must be getting close, then.

Katara: What does me being a girl have to do with sewing?
Sokka: Simple: girls are better at fixing pants than guys, and guys are better at hunting and fighting and stuff like that. It's just the natural order of things.
Katara: [with exaggerated happiness] All done with your pants! [throws them, they hit Sokka in the head] And look what a great job I did!
Sokka: Wait! I can't wear this! Katara! [sticks his hand through the hole in his pants]
Aang: Relax, Sokka. Where we're going, you won't need any pants!
