Dai Li Agent: There is no War in Ba Sing Se. Here, we are safe. Here, we are free.

Dai Li agent: You sent for us, Princess? Is everything all right?
Azula: Actually, everything's not all right. You know how long it took you to get here?
Dai Li agent: Uh, a few minutes, I guess.
Azula: Five, to be precise. In which time an assassin could have snuck in, done away with me and been on his merry way.
Dai Li agent: My apologies, Princess.
Azula: Is this how you plan to treat your new Fire Lord? With tardiness and disloyalty?
Dai Li agent: The Dai Li would never betray you!
Azula: And I'm sure that's just what you told Long Feng before you turned against him and joined me. (pause) You're all banished!
Dai Li agent: But--
Azula: Goodbye! Please send in the next group on your way out.

Defeated Earthbender: Who... Who are you?
Zuko: My name is Zuko, son of Ursa and Fire Lord Ozai, Prince of the Fire Nation, and heir to the throne.

Doc: You know, you're (Katara) not so bad for a Waterbender.
Sokka: Yeah, you wouldn't mind keeping that a secret, would you?
Doc: No problem. Keeping my mouth shut is a speciality. But my brother, Xu on the other hand, oh, he's a blabbermouth! (Sokka slaps himself in the head)
Katara: So, Doc, you ready to clean this river?
Doc: No, ma'am. I'm gonna get my other brother, Bushi. He loves cleaning rivers! (takes off his first hat and reveals another hat beneath) All right, I'm Bushi! Let's get to some river cleaning!

Du: Hoo-wee! There ain't nothing like this back in the swamp! (points at a rock) Whatcha rekon that is, Tho? Some sort of Fire Nation trap exploding trap would eat ya?
Tho: It's just a rock, Du.
Du: Well, I'll be!
Hakoda: Is it just me, or are those fellows a little loose on the leaf hats?
Bato: I just wish they'd wear pants.
Huu: Pants are an illusion... and so is death.

Due: I bet he tastes a lot like possum chicken.
Tho: You think everything tastes like possum chicken.

Fire Nation Guard (during the eclipse): What do your think you're doing?
[The guards try to firebend, but can't because of the eclipse.]
Bumi: Taking back my city. You've got no firepower and it's payback time.

Fire Navy Ship Captain: You heard the princess. Raise the anchors! We're taking the prisoners ho--
[Captain stops short, realizing his mistake.]

Firelord Ozai: (To Azula at the throneroom) Your uncle is a traitor, while your brother, Zuko, is a failure. I have a task for you.
Book 2: Earth

General Shinu: Ba Sing Se is still under our control. However, Earthbender rebellions has prevented us from achieving total victory.
Ozai: What is your recommendation?
General Shinu: Our army is spread too thin. But once the eclipse is over and the invasion defeated, we should transfer more domestic forces into the Earth Kingdom.
Ozai: Hmm, Prince Zuko, you've been among the Earth Kingdom commoners. Do you think adding more troops will stop these rebellions?
Zuko: The people of the Earth Kingdom are proud and strong. They can endure anything as long as they have hope.
Ozai: Yes, you're right. We need to destroy their hope.
Zuko: Well, that's not exactly what I...
Azula: I say you should take their precious hope and the rest of their land and burn it all to the ground.
Ozai: Yes. Yes, you're right, Azula.

Guard: Ok. We surrender.

Guru Pathik: Hmm, That chakra opened less like a flowing creek, and more like a (pauses) burping bison!
Aang: (burping) Taste like onion and banana juice... but strangely something else... (smacks lips together) Pickles?
Guru Pathik: (shrugging) Muhum?

Guru Pathik: I know I am not the person you expected...and I did not expect to be licked by a giant tongue just now.

Guru Pathik: Third is the fire chakra, located in the stomach. It is strengthened by willpower and blocked by shame.
Aang: My fire chakra would like to eat something other than onion and banana juice.
Guru Pathik: (laughs) Good one. Moving on.

Guru Pathik: You have indeed felt a great loss. But love is a form of energy, and it swirls all around us. The Air Nomads' love for you has not left this world. It is still inside of your heart, and is reborn in the form of new love.
