Aang quotes from Avatar: The Last Airbender

Zuko

So far, this intermission is the best part of the play.

Sokka

Apparently, the playwright thinks I'm an idiot who tells bad jokes about meat all the time.

Suki

Yeah. You tell bad jokes about plenty of other topics.

Sokka

I know!

Aang

At least the Sokka actor kinda looks like you. But that woman playing the Avatar doesn't resemble me at all!

I don't know. You are more in touch with your feminine side than most guys.

Katara

Relax, Aang. They're not accurate portrayals. It's not like I'm a preachy crybaby who can't resist giving over-emotional speeches about hope all the time.

Katara

What?

Aang

Yeah... that's not you at all.

Katara

Are you alright?

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!

Zuko

That... Wasn't a good play.

Aang

I'll say.

Katara

No kidding.

Suki

Horrible.

You said it.

Sokka

But the effects were decent.

Aang

Katara, did you really mean what you said in there?

Katara

In where? What are you talking about?

Aang

Onstage, when you said I was just like a brother to you and that you didn't have feelings for me...

Katara

I didn't say that! An actor said that.

Aang

But it's true, isn't it. (sadly) 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

(impatiently) Well, when is the right time?

Katara

Aang, I'm sorry, but right now, I'm just a little confused. (Aang leans in and kisses Katara, who backs away furiously) I just said I was confused! ...I'm going inside. (runs away)

Aang

(hits his head and groans) Aaargh, I'm such an idiot!

Aang

Maybe we can make some big pots of glue and then I could use gluebending to stick his arms and legs together so he can't bend anymore.

Zuko

Yeah. Then you can show him his baby pictures and all those happy memories will make him good again.

Aang

(eagerly) Do you really think that would work?

Zuko

No!

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 in the name of keeping balance I'm pretty sure the universe will forgive you.

In my day, Chin the Conqueror threatened to throw the world out of balance. I stopped him, and the world entered a great era of peace.

Aang

But you didn't really kill Chin; technically, he fell to his own doom because he was too stubborn to get out of the way.

Personally, I don't really see the difference, but I assure you, I would have done whatever it took to stop Chin. I offer you this wisdom, Aang, only justice will bring peace.

Aang

I knew I shouldn't have asked Kyoshi.

Here is my wisdom for you: selfless duty calls for you to sacrifice your own spiritual needs, and do whatever it takes to protect the world.

Aang

(to Momo, after Yangchen disappears) I guess I don't have a choice, Momo. I have to kill the Fire Lord.

Ozai

After generations of Fire Lords failed to find you, now the universe delivers you to me as an act of providence.

Aang

Please listen to me! We don't have to fight. You have the power to end it here and stop what you're doing.

Ozai

You're right, I do have the power. I have all the power in the WORLD!

Ozai

What...what did you do to me?

Aang

I took away your firebending. You can't use it to hurt or threaten anyone else ever again.

Suki

(Examining a motionless Ozai) So, did you...you know...finish the job?

Ozai

(Menacing) I'm still alive. (Suki flinches back)

Aang

I learned there was another way to defeat him and restore balance. I took his bending away.

Wow, who taught you that?

Aang

[in a matter-of-fact tone] A giant Lion Turtle.

(shakes her head and smiles) You have the craziest adventures when you disappear.

Zuko

I can't believe a year ago my purpose in life was hunting you down. And now...

Aang

And now we're friends.

Zuko

(he looks away a little, touched) Yeah, we are friends.

Aang

I can't believe a year ago I was still frozen in a block of ice. The world's so different now. (Zuko walks up to him)

Zuko

And it's gonna be even more different. We'll rebuild it together. (they hug)
