Katara (after Zuko has knocked her out of the way of falling rocks): What are you doing?
Keeping rocks from crushing you.
Okay, I'm not crushed, you can get off me now.
I'll take that as a 'thank you'.
“Chapter 16 The Southern Raiders”
In this episode: Katara (6), Aang (4), Actor Zuko (4), Sokka (1), Azula (1)
Zuko (as Azula is attacking the temple): What are you doing here?
You mean it's not obvious yet? I am about to celebrate becoming an ONLY CHILD!
(jokingly) Is it your turn for a field trip with Zuko?
(angrily) Yes, it is.
Can I borrow Momo for a week?
Why do you want to borrow Momo? (Sokka shrugs)
Zuko (to Katara): I know who killed your mother. I'm going to help you find him.
Zuko (sees Azula falling): She's... not gonna make it. (Azula saves herself with her firebending and hair pin) Of course she did.
This isn't fair. Everyone else seems to trust me now. What is it with you?
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?
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!
Wow, camping. It really seems like old times again, doesn't it?
If you really want it to feel like old times again, I could... chase you around for a while and try to capture you. (everybody, except Katara, laughs)
[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.]
She lied to you. She was protecting the last Waterbender.
YRYon Rha
What? Who?!
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!
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.
I wanted to do it. I wanted to take out all my anger at him. But... I couldn't. I don't know if it's because I'm too weak to do it, or if it's because I'm strong enough not to.
(After a conversation about Yon Rha)
I'm not ready to forgive him. (She walks up to Zuko) But I am ready to forgive you. (She hugs Zuko and walks away)
You were right about what Katara needed; violence wasn't the answer.
It never is.
Then I have a question for you. What are you going to do when you face my father? (Aang turns his head back in fear)
