Quotes 

• Prince Zuko : Uncle... I know you must have mixed feelings about seeing me, but I want you to know...

  [he begins to cry] 

  Prince Zuko : ...I am so, so sorry, Uncle. I am so sorry and ashamed of what I did. I don't know how I can ever make it up to you, but I...

  [Iroh turns and pulls him into a fierce hug] 

  Prince Zuko : [bewildered]  How can you forgive me so easily? I thought you would be furious with me.

  Uncle Iroh : [crying]  I was never angry with you. I was sad because I was afraid you'd lost your way.

  Prince Zuko : I did lose my way.

  Uncle Iroh : [leaning back to look at him]  But you found it again. And you did it by yourself. And I am so happy you found your way here.

  [they hug] 

  Prince Zuko : It wasn't that hard, Uncle. You have a pretty strong scent.

• Uncle Iroh : Even if I did defeat Ozai, and I don't know that I could, it would be the wrong way to end the war. History would see it as just more senseless violence, a brother killing a brother to grab power. The only way for this was to end peacefully is for the Avatar to defeat the Fire Lord.

  Prince Zuko : And then... then would you come and take your rightful place on the throne?

  Uncle Iroh : No. Someone new must take the throne. An idealist with a pure heart and unquestionable honor. It has to be *you*, Prince Zuko.

  Prince Zuko : Unquestionable honor? But I've made so many mistakes.

  Uncle Iroh : Yes, you have. You struggled, you suffered, but you have always followed your own path. You've restored your own honor, and only you can restore the honor of the Fire Nation.

• [first lines] 

  Sokka : [about June]  Hey, I remember her. She helped you attack us.

  Prince Zuko : Yep, back in the good old days.

• Prince Zuko : Uncle, you're the only person, other than the Avatar, who can possibly defeat the Father Lord.

  Toph : You mean the Fire Lord.

  Prince Zuko : That's what I just said!

• Prince Zuko : I can handle Azula.

  Uncle Iroh : Not alone. You'll need help.

  Prince Zuko : You're right. Katara, how would you like to help me put Azula in her place?

  Katara : It would be my pleasure.

• Suki : Wow! You took back your whole city all by yourself.

  Bumi : So what about you guys? Did you do anything interesting on the day of the eclipse?

  [Zuko and Sokka exchange glances] 

  Prince Zuko : Nah.

  Sokka : No, not really.

• June : I see you've worked things out with your girlfriend.

  [Katara and Zuko speaking simultaneously] 

  Katara : I'm not his girlfriend!

  Prince Zuko : She's not my girlfriend!

• Prince Zuko : I need your help finding the Avatar.

  June : Hmph. Doesn't sound too fun.

  Prince Zuko : Does the end of the world sound like more fun?

• Suki : So wait, how do you all know each other?

  Bumi : [Smiling]  All old people know each other, don't you know that?

  Piandao : We're all part of the same ancient secret society, a group that transcends the divisions of the four nations.

  Prince Zuko : The Order of the White Lotus.

  Bumi : That's the one.

• Prince Zuko : [as June's tracker lies down]  Well, what does that mean?

  June : It means your friend's gone.

  Toph : We know he's gone. That's why we're trying to find him.

  June : No, I mean he's gone gone. He doesn't exist.
