- 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.
- Lion Turtle: The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can touch the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning less time, darkness thrives in the void, but always yields to purifying light.
- Aang: But the monks taught me that I had to detach myself from the world so my spirit could be free.
- Avatar Yangchen: Many great and wise Air Nomads have detached themselves and achieved spiritual enlightenment, but the Avatar can never do it, because your sole duty is to the world. Here is my wisdom for you. Selfless duty calls you to sacrifice your own spiritual needs and do whatever it takes to protect the world.
- [Yangchen vanishes]
- Aang: I guess I don't have a choice, Momo. I have to kill the Fire Lord.
- 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!
- Aang: All these past Avatars, they keep telling me I'm gonna have to do it. They don't get it.
- [Momo chitters]
- Aang: You're right, maybe an Air Nomad Avatar will understand where I'm coming from. I know you can't really talk. Pretending you can helps me think.
- [Momo chitters]
- Aang: I'm going to pretend I didn't pretend to hear that.
- 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.
- Toph: What's going on? We're surrounded by old people.
- Katara: Not just any old people. These are great masters and friends of ours.
- [Katara bows to Pakku]
- Katara: Pakku.
- Master Pakku: It is respectful to bow to an old master, but how about a hug for your new grandfather?
- 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!
- Katara: Good-bye, General Iroh.
- Uncle Iroh: Goodbye everyone. Today, destiny is our friend. I know it.
- [after hearing Avatar Kyoshi's opinion on how to defeat Fire Lord Ozai]
- Aang: I knew I shouldn't have asked Kyoshi.
- Sokka: Welcome to the family, Gramp Gramp.
- Master Pakku: You can still just call me Pakku.
- Sokka: [Smiles goofily] How about Grandpakku?
- Master Pakku: [Serious] No.
- 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.
- [last lines]
- Firelord Ozai: It's time for this world to end in fire and for a new world to be born from the ashes.
- 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.
