Aang quotes from Avatar: The Last Airbender

Katara

You ran away.

Aang

[looking at Katara] And then the Fire Nation attacked our temple. My people needed me, and I wasn't there to help.

Katara

You don't know what would've...

Aang

The world needed me, and I wasn't there to help!

Katara

Aang?

Aang

The fisherman was right. I did turn my back on the world.

Katara

You're being too hard on yourself. Even if you did run away, I think it was meant to be. If you stayed, you would have been killed with all the other airbenders.

Aang

You don't know that.

Katara

I know it's meant to be this way. The world needs you now. You give people hope.

Katara

Maybe there's a bright side to all of this.

Aang

I did get to meet you!

Aang

[to the Herbalist] You're insane, aren't you?

That's right!

Aang

Oh no, not you too.

Katara

Relax, It was just a little cough. I'm fin--

Aang

That's how Sokka started. Now look at him! He thinks he's an Earthbender!

Aang

[to Zuko]: You know what the worst part of being born over a hundred years ago is? I miss all the friends I used to hang out with. Before the war started, I used to always visit my friend Kuzon. The two of us, we'd get in and out of so much trouble together. He was one of the best friends I ever had, and he was from the Fire Nation just like you. If we knew each other back then, do you think we could have been friends too?

Zuko

[Screams while using firebending at Aang]

Katara

[to Aang] So, how do I look?

Aang

[blushes] You mean all of you or just your neck? I mean, because both look great.

Sokka

You can't really tell the future.

Katara

I guess you're not really getting wet then.

Sokka

Ah ah aha ah ah [starts gibbering] Of course she predicted it was gonna rain. The sky's been gray all day!

Katara

Just admit you might be wrong and you can come under the umbrella.

Sokka

Look, I'm gonna predict the future now. It's going to keep drizzling. See?

Aang

Not everyone has the gift, Sokka.

Your destiny...this is incredible! You will be involved in a great battle! An awesome conflict between the forces of good and evil! A battle whose outcome will determine the fate of the whole world!

Aang

Yeah, yeah, I knew that already. But did it say anything about a girl?

Aang

Hey, Katara.

Katara

Can you believe she won't let me in? And after all the business I've given her!

Aang

But she doesn't even charge.

Katara

I know, but still.

Sokka

I can't believe all these saps! Someone really needs to scream some sense into these people.

Aang

They seem happy, Sokka.

Sokka

Not for long. I'm gonna prove to them Aunt Wu's predictions are nonsense. (he turns to a villager) Hey, you! I bet Aunt Wu told you to wear those red slippers, right?

Yeah. She said I'd meet my true love wearing red slippers.

Every day.

Aang

Whoa! Wild shot!

Zhao

[roars with rage] I'll show you wild!

Aang

[having dodged a series of blasts from Zhao on several ships] You've lost this battle.

Zhao

[enraged disbelief] Are you crazy? You haven't thrown a single blow!

Aang

No, but you have [he gestures around, all the boats are on fire and sinking] Jeong Jeong said you had no restraint.

Aang

(referring to a statue of a monk) It's nice to see one part of the temple that isn't ruined.

Look out! (A giant boulder swings through and destroys the statue)

Sokka

I'm not one to complain, but can't Appa fly any higher?

Aang

I've got an idea, why don't we all get on your back and you can fly us to the North Pole?

Katara

How's warrior training going?

Aang

That bad?

Sokka

No, it's Princess Yue. I don't get it; one minute she wants to go out with me, the next she's telling me to get lost! So, how's waterbending training?

Aang

Master Poop-head won't teach her because she's a girl.

Sokka

Why don't you just teach her, Aang?

Katara

Why didn't I think of that? At night, you can teach me whatever moves you learned from Master Pakku. That way, you have someone to practice with and I get to learn waterbending. Everyone's happy!

Sokka

I'm not happy.

Katara

But you're never happy. Come on, Aang.

My old friend, the Avatar. It's been a long time.

Aang

You...know me?

Oh, how could I ever forget you? [Changes face to that of an angry-looking man.] ONE OF YOUR PREVIOUS INCARNATIONS TRIED TO SLAY ME! It was eight or nine-hundred years ago.

Aang

I didn't know that. Why did he...or I...try to kill you?

[Changes face to that of Ummi, Avatar Kuruk's wife.] Oh, it was something about stealing the face of someone you loved. [Changes face to that of a screaming baboon in an attempt to scare Aang.] HA HA HA! [It doesn't work and Koh keeps talking, bringing his fanged maw right up behind Aang's ear. ] Of course, that's all behind us. Why should I hold a grudge against you for something in a past life? After all, you're a different person now. You've come to me... with a new face.
