Nice speech, Azula! It was pretty and poetic, but also scary in a good way!
“Chapter 20: The Crossroads of Destiny”
In this episode: Iroh (4), Sokka (3), Aang (2), Katara (2), Actor Zuko (2), Ty Lee (2), Azula (1), Earth King (1)
Believe me when I say there is good inside him [Zuko]!
Good inside him isn't enough! Why don't you come back when it's outside him as well!
We should split up. Aang, you go with Iroh to look for Katara and the angry jerk, [to Iroh] no offense.
None taken.
Thank goodness we're in time!
In time for what?
Ty Lee (excitedly): Yeah. What are you in time for- (she cartwheels toward Sokka, and giggles) ...cutie?
Sokka (nervously): Um, I'm kinda involved with Suki.
Who?
Well, I met with this Guru who was supposed to help me master the Avatar State and control this great power, but to do it I had to let go of someone I love and I just couldn't.
Perfection and power are overrated. I think you were very wise to choose happiness and love.
What happens if I can't save everyone and beat Azula? Without the Avatar State, what if I'm not powerful enough?
I don't know the answer. Sometimes life is like this dark tunnel, you can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you just keep moving you will come to a better place.
[In the middle of a duel after Zuko betrays Katara]
I thought you had changed!
I have changed.
Uncle, I don't understand. What are you doing with the Avatar?
[faces him] Saving you, that's what.
[makes angry noise and attempts to lunge at him. Iroh holds him back]
It's time we talked. [to Aang, smiling] Go help your other friends. We'll catch up with you.
[bows to Iroh and rushes out with Katara]
[stares sadly over her shoulder at Zuko as she leaves]
[not looking Iroh directly in the eye] Why, Uncle?
[seriously] You're not the man you used to be, Zuko. You are stronger, and wiser, and freer than you have ever been. And now you've come to the crossroads of your destiny. It's time for you to choose. It's time for you to choose good.
[eyes widen and makes a loud sound of surprise as the green crystals shoot up and imprison Iroh]
[comes over with two Dai Li Agents behind her] I expected this kind of treachery from Uncle. But Zuko, Prince Zuko. You're a lot of things, but you aren't a traitor, are you?
[angrily, eyes narrowed] Release him immediately!
[slyly] It's not to late for you, Zuko. You could still redeem yourself.
