• Toph : Hey, wait a minute. Has anyone noticed that Momo is missing, too?

  Sokka : Oh, no! I knew it was only a matter of time! Appa ate Momo!

  [crawling into Appa's mouth] 

  Sokka : Momo, I'm coming for you, buddy.

  Katara : Sokka, Appa didn't eat Momo. He's probably with Aang.

  Sokka : That's just what Appa wants you to think.

  [he squirms further into Appa's mouth] 

  Prince Zuko : Get out of the bison's mouth, Sokka!. We have a real problem here. Aang is nowhere to be found, and the comet is only two days away.

• Katara : I have a surprise for everyone!

  Toph : I knew it! You *did* have a secret thing with Haru!

  Katara : Uh, no. I was looking for cooking pots in the attic, and I found this!

  [she holds up a painting of a baby] 

  Katara : Look at Baby Zuko! Isn't he cute?

  [the others giggle and "aw"; Zuko is silent] 

  Katara : [to Zuko]  Oh, lighten up. I was just teasing.

  Prince Zuko : That's not me. It's my father.

  Suki : But he looks so sweet and innocent.

  Prince Zuko : Well, that sweet little kid grew up to be a monster, and the worst father in the history of fathers.

• Katara : [after Aang disappears]  What should we do, Zuko?

  Prince Zuko : I don't know.

  [they all stare at him] 

  Prince Zuko : Why are you all looking at *me*?

  Katara : Well, you are kind of the expert on tracking Aang.

• Katara : [about Aang]  Then he's got to be somewhere on Ember Island. Let's split up and look for him.

  Toph : I'm going with Zuko!

  [the rest look at her curiously] 

  Toph : What? Everyone else went on a life-changing field trip with Zuko. Now it's my turn.

• Katara : Get over here, Zuko. Being part of the group also means being part of group hugs.

• Katara : What happened?

  Sokka : Zuko's gone crazy! I made a sand sculpture of Suki and he *destroyed* it!... Oh, and he's attacking Aang.

• Katara : The whole point of fighting the Fire Lord before the comet was to stop the Fire Nation from winning the war. But they pretty much won the war when they took Ba Sing Se. Things can't get any worse.

  Prince Zuko : You're wrong. It's about to get worse than you can even imagine.

• Prince Zuko : There's one technique you need to know before facing my Father... how to redirect lightning. If you let the energy in your own body flow, the lightning will follow it. You turn your opponent's energy against them.

  Aang : That's like Waterbending.

  Prince Zuko : Exactly. My uncle invented this technique himself by studying Waterbenders.

  Aang : So, have *you* ever redirected lightning before?

  Prince Zuko : Once... against my father.

  Aang : What did it feel like?

  Prince Zuko : Exhilarating... but terrifying. You feel so powerful holding so much energy in your body, but you know if you make the wrong move, it's over.

  Aang : [Nervous chuckle]  Well, not *over* over. I mean, there's always Katara and a little Spirit Water action, am I right?

  Katara : Actually, I used it all up after Azula shot you.

  Aang : Oh.

  Prince Zuko : You'll have to take the Fire Lord's life before he takes yours.

  Aang : I'll just do that.

• Katara : What's wrong with you? You could've hurt Aang.

  Prince Zuko : What's wrong with me? What's wrong with all of you? How can you sit around having beach parties when Sozin's Comet is only three days away...? Why are you all looking at me like I'm crazy?

  Aang : About Sozin's Comet... I was actually gonna wait to fight the Fire Lord until after it came.

  Prince Zuko : After?

  Aang : I'm not ready. I need more time to master Firebending.

  Toph : And frankly, your Earthbending could still use some work, too.

• Katara : Aang, you don't have to do this alone.

  Toph Beifong : Yeah, if we all fight the Fire Lord together, we got a shot at taking him down.

  Sokka : All right! Team Avatar is back! Air, Water, Earth, Fire... Fan and Sword!

  Aang : Fighting the Fire Lord is gonna be the hardest thing we've ever done together, but I wouldn't want to do it any other way.

• Aang : This goes against everything I learned from the monks. I can't just go around wiping out people I don't like.

  Sokka : Sure, you can. You're the Avatar. If it's the name of keeping balance, I'm pretty sure the universe will forgive you.

  Aang : This isn't a joke, Sokka! None of you understands the position I'm in!

  Katara : Aang, we do understand. It's just...

  Aang : Just what, Katara? What?

  Katara : We're trying to help.

  Aang : Then, when you figure out a way for me to beat the Fire Lord without taking his life, I'd love to hear it!
