[Bato and Hakoda are talking, Katara runs up with tears in her eyes]
I'll leave you two alone.
[Bato walks away]
What's wrong, Katara?
He left!
What?
Aang! He just took his glider and disappeared. He has this ridiculous notion that he has to save the world alone, that it's all his responsibility!
Maybe that's his way of being brave.
It's not brave, it's selfish and stupid! We could be helping him, and I know the world needs him but doesn't he know how much that we need him too? How could he just leave us behind?!
You're talking about me too, aren't you?
[sobbing] How could you leave us, Dad? I mean, I know we had Gran Gran and she loved us but...but we were just so lost without you...
I'm so sorry, Katara.
[embracing her father] I understand why you left, I really do, and I know that you had to go. So...why do I still feel this way? I'm so sad and angry... and hurt.
I love you more than anything. You and your brother are my entire world. I thought about you every day I was gone, and every night, when I went to sleep, I would lie awake missing you so much it would ache.
