Quotes 

• Prince Zuko : They make me look totally stiff and humorless.

  Katara : Actually, I think that actor's pretty spot-on.

  Prince Zuko : How could you say that?

  Iroh's Actor : Let's forget about the Avatar and get massages.

  Zuko's Actor : How could you say that?

• Azula's Actress : Well, my brother, what's it going to be? Your nation or a life of treachery?

  Iroh's Actor : Choose treachery. It's more fun.

  [Zuko Actor turns and walks to his Uncle] 

  Azula's Actress : No way!

  [Zuko Actor pushes Iroh Actor to the ground and then walks back over to Azula Actress] 

  Zuko's Actor : I hate you, Uncle! You smell, and I hate you for all time!

  Katara : [to Zuko]  You didn't really say that, did you?

  Prince Zuko : [regretfully]  I might as well have.

• Katara : Relax Aang. They're not acurate protrayals. It's not like I'm a preachy crybaby who can't resist giving over-emotional speeches about hope all the time.

  [Everyone stares at Katara] 

  Katara : What?

  Aang : Yeah, that's not you at all.

• [last lines] 

  Prince Zuko : That... wasn't a good play.

  Aang : I'll say.

  Katara : No kidding.

  Suki : Horrible.

  Toph : You said it.

  Sokka : But the effects were decent.

• Toph : Wait a minute, I sound like... a *guy*. A really buff guy.

  Katara : Well, Toph, what you hear up there is the truth. It hurts, doesn't it?

  Toph : Are you kidding me? I wouldn't have cast it any other way.

  Toph : [giggles]  At least it's not a flying bald lady.

• Aang : We kissed at the invasion, and I thought we were gonna be together, but we're not.

  Katara : Aang... I don't know.

  Aang : Why don't you know?

  Katara : Because we're in the middle of a war, and we have other things to worry about. This isn't the right time.

  Aang : Well, when is the right time?

  Katara : Aang, I'm sorry, but right now I'm just a little confused.

  [Aang kisses Katara] 

  Katara : I just said I was confused...! I'm going inside.

  [Katara leaves] 

  Aang : Oh, I'm such an idiot!

• Sokka : You guys are not going to believe this.

  Sokka : [proudly]  There's a play about us.

  Suki : We were just in town, and we found this poster.

  [Sokka pulls the poster out from behind him and shows it to everyone] 

  Katara : What? How is that possible?

  Sokka : Listen to this.

  Sokka : [reads the poster]  "The Boy in the Iceberg is a new production from acclaimed playwright Puon-Tim, who scoured the globe gathering information on the Avatar, from the icy South Pole to the heart of Ba Sing Se. His sources including singing nomads, pirates, prisoners of war and a surprisingly knowledgeable merchant of cabbage."

  Suki : [reads from the poster]  "Brought to you by the critically acclaimed Ember Island Players."

  Prince Zuko : Ugh! My mother used to take us to see them. They butchered Love Amongst The Dragons every year.

  Katara : Sokka, do you really think it's a good idea for us to attend a play about ourselves?

  Sokka : Come on, a day at the theater? This is the kind of wacky time-wasting nonsense I've been missing.

• Katara : Are you all right?

  Aang : No, I'm not. I hate this play!

  Katara : I know it's upsetting, but it sounds like you're overreacting.

  Aang : Overreacting? If I hadn't blocked my chakra, I'd probably be in the Avatar State right now.

• Katara's Actress : Every day, the world awaits a beacon to guide us, yet none appears. Still, we cannot give up hope, for hope is all we have, and we must never relinquish it, even... even to our dying breath.

  Katara : [not amused]  Well, that's just silly. I don't sound like that.

  Toph : [giggles]  Oh, man, this writer's a genius!

• [first lines] 

  Katara : Doesn't it seem kind of weird that we're hiding from the Fire Lord in his own house?

  Prince Zuko : I told you, my father hasn't come here since our family was actually happy, and that was a long time ago. It's the last place anyone would think to look for us.
