I won't fight you.
FOFire Lord Ozai
You will learn respect. And suffering will be your teacher.

I'm too young to die!
FFisherman
I'm not, but I still don't wanna!
You ran away.
[looking at Katara] And then the Fire Nation attacked our temple. My people needed me, and I wasn't there to help.
You don't know what would've...
The world needed me, and I wasn't there to help!
Aang?
The fisherman was right. I did turn my back on the world.
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.
You don't know that.
I know it's meant to be this way. The world needs you now. You give people hope.
Maybe there's a bright side to all of this.
I did get to meet you!
After the duel, the Fire Lord said that by refusing to duel, Zuko showed shameful weakness and so he was banished and sent to capture the Avatar.
LJLt. Jee
So that's why he's so obsessed. Capturing the Avatar is his only chance he has of things returning to normal.
Things will never return to normal, but the important thing is the Avatar gives Zuko hope.
