Zuko: Why am I so bad at being good?

Zuko: Why did you do it?
Azula: You're going to have to be a little more specific.
Zuko: Why did you tell Father that I was the one who killed the Avatar?
Azula: Can't this wait until morning?
Zuko: (firmly) It can't.
Azula: Fine. You seemed so worried about how father would treat you because you hadn't captured the Avatar. I figured, if I gave you the credit, you'd have nothing to worry about.
Zuko: But why?
Azula: Call it a generous gesture. I wanted to thank you for your help, and I was happy to share the glory.
Zuko: You're lying.
Azula: If you say so.
Zuko: You have another motive for doing this. I just haven't figure out what it is.
Azula: (stretching up her arms) Please, Zuko. What ulterior motive could I have? What could I possibly gain by letting you get all the glory for defeating the Avatar? Unless somehow, the Avatar was actually alive. All that glory would suddenly turn to shame and foolishness. But you said yourself that was impossible. Sleep well, Zuzu.

Zuko: You lied to me!
Azula: Like I haven't done that before.

Aang: No but I know it's near water [zooms out to show the ocean below]
Sokka: We must be getting close, then.

Zuko:(attemping to inspire Sokka to not quit and stay at the prison and rescue his dad) No, its not Sokka. Look you're going to fail a lot before things work out...
Sokka: This is supposed to make me feel better?!?!
Zuko: Even though you'll probably fail over and over again...
Sokka: Seriously you're not helping!
Zuko: You have to try every time. You can't quit because you're afraid you might fail.

Aang: I told you, I can't go to sleep.
Katara: Aang, staying up all night can't be good for you.
Aang: Actually staying up all night has given me some time to think and I've realized some big things Katara.
Katara:What big things?
Aang: I'm seeing everything so clearly now, what really matters, why I'm really doing this, I'm doing it to save the world, but more than that. I'm doing it for the people I love. I'm doing it for you, Katara.
Katara: Aang, what are you saying?
Aang: I'm saying...I love you.
(Aang gives Katara a peck on the lips, then they start kissing passionately)
Katara: What are we doing?
Aang: What our hearts have been telling us to do for a long, long time. Baby, you're my forever girl.
(Aang goes back to reality)
Katara:Aang?

Aang: Oh...I guess I kinda drifted off into a daydream.
Katara: What was your dream about?
Aang: Uh...living underwater?
Katara: Sounds neat!

(as Iroh and the Pai Sho Player leave the back room)
Zuko: What's going on? Is the club meeting over?
Iroh: Everything is taken care of. We're heading to Ba-Sing-Se.
Zuko: Ba-Sing-Se? Why would we go to the Earth Kingdom capital?
Pai Sho Player: The city is filled with refugees. No one will notice two more.
Iroh: We can hide in plain sight there and it's the safest place in the world from the Fire Nation. Even I couldn't break through to the city.
