Wait a minute, it's a trap!
Katara(sarcastically) Really? No kidding! Is that why we're trapped in a wooden cage right now? Gee, I wonder how you figured out it was a trap!
Not for us, Katara. We're the bait. He wants Aang!
Katara
Ugh! I can't believe I was so stupid! See, this is exactly why I'm against these scams, I knew this would happen!
Katara
I know. I wanted to show you I'm not so motherly. That I can have fun too.
Katara, you are fun, if nothing else, you're at least fun to argue with.
(Aang's is daydreaming about professing his love for Katara)
Invasion, all aboard for the invasion.
Katara
You don't look so good, are you sure that you can't lie down and take a little nap?
I told you, I can't go to sleep.
Katara
Aang, staying up all night can't be good for you.
Actually staying up all night has given me some time to think and I've realized some big things Katara.
Katara
What big things?
I'm seeing everything so clearly now, what really matters, why I'm really doing this, I'm doing it to save the world, but more than that. I'm doing it for the people I love. I'm doing it for you, Katara.
Katara
Aang, what are you saying?
(Aang gives Katara a peck on the lips, then they start kissing passionately)
Katara
What are we doing?
What our hearts have been telling us to do for a long, long time. Baby, you're my forever girl.
(Aang goes back to reality)
Katara
Aang?
Katara
I was just saying you should take a nap.
Oh...I guess I kinda drifted off into a daydream.
Katara
What was your dream about?
Katara
Sounds neat!
(after Zuko and Aang demonstrated the Dancing Dragon moves) Yeah, that's a great dance you two learned there.
It's not a dance, it's a Firebending form.
We'll just tap dance our way to victory over the Fire Nation.
It's a sacred form that happens to be thousands of years old!
Katara
Oh yeah? What's your little form called?
...The Dancing Dragon. (everybody, except Aang and Zuko, laughs)
Katara (after Zuko has knocked her out of the way of falling rocks): What are you doing?
Keeping rocks from crushing you.
Katara
Okay, I'm not crushed, you can get off me now.
I'll take that as a 'thank you'.
This isn't fair. Everyone else seems to trust me now. What is it with you?
Katara
Oh everyone trusts you now? I was the first person to trust you, remember? Back in Ba Sing Se. And you turned around and betrayed me. Betrayed all of us!
What can I do to make it up to you?
Katara
You really wanna know? Hm, maybe you could reconquer Ba Sing Se in the name of the Earth King? Or, I know, you could bring my mother back!
[In a flashback, the leader of the Southern Raiders Fire Navy division is interrogating Katara's Mother, Kya, to reveal the identity of the last Waterbender.]
KKya
If I tell you, do you promise to leave the rest of the village alone?
YRYon Rha
[Nods in assent]
KKya
...It's me. Take me as your prisoner.
YRYon Rha
[ cruel smile] I'm afraid I'm not taking prisoners today...
[Back in the present.]
Katara
She lied to you. She was protecting the last Waterbender.
Katara
Me!
(Katara raises her hands and the rain suddenly stops all around them and reforms into a huge dome of water; she sends a rush of water at Yon Rha, transforming it into ice daggers that stop just short of killing him; suddenly, Katara relents and lets them melt)
YRYon Rha
[Drops to his knees in terror] I did a bad thing! I know I did and you deserve revenge, so why don't you take my mother? That would be fair!
Katara
I always wondered what kind of person could do such a thing, but now that I see you, I think I understand. There's just nothing inside you, nothing at all. You're pathetic and sad and empty.
YRYon Rha
Please, spare me!
Katara But as much as I hate you... I just can't do it.
You guys are not gonna believe this... there's a play about us!
We were just in town and we saw this poster! [reveals poster about the play]
Katara
What? How is that possible?
Listen to this: "The Boy In The Iceberg is a production of acclaimed playwright Pu-On Tim. We scoured the globe gathering information about the Avatar, from the icy South Pole to the heart of Ba Sing Se. Sources include singing nomads, pirates, prisoners of war, and a surprisingly knowledgeable merchant of cabbage."
AIActor Iroh
Prince Zuko, you must try this cake.
I dont have time to stuff my face. I must capture the Avatar and regain my honor.
AIActor Iroh
While you do that, maybe I'll capture another slice. (Starts eating the cake)
RZReal Zuko
(about the play): They made me look stiff and completely humorless.
RKReal Katara
Actually, I think that actor's pretty spot on.
RZReal Zuko
How can you say that?!
AIActor Iroh
Let's forget about the Avatar, and get massages.
HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?! (Katara grins, and Zuko pouts)
So far, this intermission is the best part of the play.
Apparently, the playwright thinks I'm an idiot who tells bad jokes about meat all the time.
Yeah. You tell bad jokes about plenty of other topics.
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.
[Aang growls]
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.
[Everyone looks at Katara.]
Katara
What?
Yeah... that's not you at all.
The scene is when Zuko joins Azula during 'Crossroads of Destiny'.
I hate you, Uncle! You smell! And I hate you for all time!
Katara
[Shocked] You didn't really say that, did you?
[Ashamed] I might as well have.
