(Zuko is standing before a huge portrait of Fire Lord Sozin)
It's never too early for a sitting with the court painter, Zuko. (Sarcastically) Make sure he gets your good side.
(After explaining their great-grandfather Sozin's history to Zuko)
In the end, he died a very old and successful man.
But how did he die?
Didn't you pay any attention in school, Zuko? He died peacefully in his sleep; he was ancient.
(Zuko begins to read Sozin's last testament)
(voice-over) As I feel my own life dimming, I can't help but think of a time when everything was so much brighter...
(in disbelief) You were friends with Fire Lord Sozin?
Back then he was just Prince Sozin...and he was my best friend.
(after watching his younger self fail to speak to Ta Min) Love is hard, when you're young.
You don't have to tell me.
Don't worry, it gets better.
(Sozin and Roku see the Fire Sages approach them)
(worried) Did something happen to my father?
No, Prince Sozin. We are not here for you. We are here to announce the identity of the next Avatar. (the crowd gasps in surprise) It is our honor to serve you, Avatar Roku. (the Fire Sages bow, followed by everyone else in the room)
(Aang stands up, squats, grunts in a straining manner, sighs with relief, and smiles, all while he is still connected with the Spirit World)
Do they have bathrooms in the spirit world?
As a matter of fact, they do not.
That's amazing! I can't believe you were friends with Monk Gyatso just like I was!
Some friendships are so strong they can even transcend lifetimes.
After all these years, he was still my best friend and a few months later he was my best man.
Roku, it's that girl who didn't even know you were alive!
Ta Min... I was persistent. When love is real, it finds a way... and being the Avatar doesn't hurt your chances with the ladies either.
Without you, all my plans are suddenly possible. I have a vision for the future, Roku.
With Roku gone and the Great Comet returning, the timing was perfect to change the world. I knew the next Avatar would be born an Air Nomad so I wiped out the Air Temples, but somehow the new Avatar eluded me. I wasted the remainder of my life searching in vain. I know he's hiding out there somewhere; the Fire Nation's greatest threat, the last Airbender.
You have more than one great-grandfather, Prince Zuko. Sozin was your father's grandfather. Your mother's grandfather was Avatar Roku.
(in shock) Why are you telling me this?!
Because understanding the struggle between your two great-grandfathers can help you better understand the battle within yourself. Evil and good are always at war inside you, Zuko. It is your nature, your legacy, but there is a bright side. What happened generations ago can be resolved now by you. Because of your legacy, you alone can cleanse the sins of our family and the Fire Nation. Born in you, along with all the strife, is the power to restore balance to the world.
You mean after all Roku and Sozin went through together, even after Roku showed him mercy, Sozin betrayed him like that?
TToph
It's like these people are born bad.
No, that's wrong. I don't think that was the point of what Roku showed me at all.
Then what was the point?
Roku was just as much Fire Nation as Sozin was, right? If anything, their story proves anyone is capable of great good and great evil. Everyone, even the Fire Lord and the Fire Nation, have to be treated like they're worth giving a chance. And I think it was about friendships too.
TToph
Do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?
[Aang takes Toph's hand] I don't see why not.[Katara takes Toph's other]
Well, scientifically speaking there's no way to prove that-
OH SOKKA JUST HOLD HANDS.
[Sokka keeps his face turned and grabs Katara's hand.]
