Katara: Sokka, you've got an elbow leech!
Sokka: Where? Where?
Katara: Where do you think?

Katara: The King is throwing a party at the palace tonight for his pet bear.
Aang: Don't you mean platypus bear?
Katara: No, it just says, 'bear'.
Sokka: Certainly you mean his pet skunk bear?
Toph: Or his armadillo bear?
Aang: Gopher bear?
Katara: Just, 'bear'.
(short pause)
Toph: This place is weird.

Katara: The stars sure are beautiful tonight. (angrily) Too bad you can't see them, Toph!

Katara: Waterbending bomb! Yeah! (performs a tumbling cannonball into the pool and She sends up a massive column of water that washes Aang ashore, shattering his ice block)
Sokka: (sarcastically as he holds a dripping map) Sure, 5000 year old maps from the spirit library, just splash some water on ‘em.

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!

Katara: What happened!?
Sokka: Zuko's gone crazy! I made a sand sculpture of Suki (tries to pick up the fallen sand to mould the sculpture back into shape) and he destroyed it! Oh, and he's attacking Aang.

Katara: You can't do this to us. Let us leave!
King Bumi: (holds up lettuce leaf) Lettuce leaf? (Chews lettuce outlandishly)

Katara: You got something against libraries?
Toph: I've held books before, and I gotta tell you, they don't exactly "do it" for me.
Katara: Oh, right. Sorry.

Katara: You make a fine octopus, Pupil Aang.

Katara: You mean after all Roku and Sozin went through together, even after Roku showed him mercy, Sozin betrayed him like that?
Toph: It's like these people are born bad.
Aang: No, that's wrong. I don't think that was the point of what Roku showed me at all.
Sokka: Then what was the point?
Aang: Roku was just as much Fire Nation as Sozin was, right? If anything, their story proves anyone is capable of great good and great evil. Everyone, even the Fire Lord and the Fire Nation, have to be treated like they're worth giving a chance. And I think it was about friendships too.
Toph: Do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?
Aang: [Aang takes Toph's hand] I don't see why not.[Katara takes Toph's other]
Sokka: Well, scientifically speaking there's no way to prove that-
Katara: OH SOKKA JUST HOLD HANDS.
[Sokka keeps his face turned and grabs Katara's hand.]

Katara: You ran away.
Aang: [looking at Katara] And then the Fire Nation attacked our temple. My people needed me, and I wasn't there to help.
Katara: You don't know what would've...
Aang: The world needed me, and I wasn't there to help!
Katara: Aang?
Aang: The fisherman was right. I did turn my back on the world.
Katara: You're being too hard on yourself. Even if you did run away, I think it was meant to be. If you stayed, you would have been killed with all the other airbenders.
Aang: You don't know that.
Katara: I know it's meant to be this way. The world needs you now. You give people hope.
Katara: Maybe there's a bright side to all of this.
Aang: I did get to meet you!

Katara: You're not the only one who draws power from the moon. (Hama is shocked that Katara managed to resist her bloodbending) My bending is more powerful than yours, Hama. Your technique is useless on me! (draws water from the ground and forms a ring around herself before directing it at Hama)

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.

King Bumi: There's an airbender in our presence and not just any airbender, the Avatar! Now what do you have to say for yourself, Mr. Pippenpaddle-Oppsocopolis?!

King Bumi: Tomorrow the Avatar will face three deadly challenges. But for now, the guards will show you to your chamber.
Guard: My liege, do you mean the good chamber, or the bad chamber?
King Bumi: The newly refurbished chamber.
Guard: Wait, which one are we talking about?
King Bumi: The one that used to be the bad chamber, until the recent refurbishing that is. Of course, we've been calling it the new chamber, but we really should number them. Uh, take them to the refurbished chamber that was once bad!
