Korra quotes from The Legend of Korra

Korra

Naga! You should've seen it. I kicked some Firebender butt, and I passed!

Korra

Your time has come! I'm locking you away for another 10,000 years Vaatu!

Korra

The War of the Water Tribes is over. Unalaq has been defeated, and the Northern Fleet is returning home. The Water Tribes will always be allies, but the Southern Tribe is now independent, and the Southern Council of Elders has appointed my father, Tonraq, to be your new chief!

Korra

I've realized that even though we should learn from those who came before us, we must also forge our own path. So that is why I have decided to keep the portals open. Humans can now physically enter the Spirit World and spirits will be free to roam our world. I will no longer be the bridge. Humans and spirits must learn to live together. My mission will always be to use Raava's light spirit to guide the world toward peace and balance. Harmonic Convergence has caused a shift in the planet's energy. I can feel it. Things will never be the same again. We are entering a New Age.

Tonraq

The White Lotus has honored my family by coming. Thank you.

Welcome. [a shield falls off the wall in the background]

We have investigated many claims, both here and in the ... Northern Tribe. All have turned out to be false.

Then you should be happy to know your search has come to an end.

What makes you so sure your daughter is...the one?

Korra, please come in here.

Korra

I'm the Avatar! You gotta deal with it!

She's strong.

She lacks restraint.

Korra

Woo-hoo! Hey, why all the doom and gloom, people? We should be celebrating! Three elements down, one to go!

You're getting ahead of yourself as usual, Korra. We haven't decided if you passed your Firebending test yet.

And ever since you were a little girl, you've excelled at the physical side of bending and completely ignored the spiritual side. The Avatar must master both.

Korra

I... haven't ignored it, it just doesn't come as easy to me. But that's why I should start training with Master Tenzin immediately. He's Mr. Spiritual!

Korra

[over radio] I'm so happy to be here! Thank you, Republic City!

Tenzin

[over radio] Alright, that's all the questions we... [Radio is turned off by Lieutenant]

Amon, how do you want to handle this?

Amon

[staring at a giant map of the Avatar world] So, the Avatar has arrived early. It looks like we'll have to accelerate our plans. [he turns to face the Lieutenant]

Tenzin

So my mother informed my that you've never been able to airbend before.

Korra

Yeah, but I don't know why. The other elements came so easily to me, but every single time I've tried airbending [sticks out her tongue] nothing.

Tenzin

It's perfectly alright, you just need to be patient. Often the element that is most difficult for the Avatar to master is the one most opposite to the Avatar's personality. For Aang, it was earthbending.

Korra

Well, I'm about as opposite an airbender as you can get.

Tenzin

That was a 2000 year old historical treasure. What... What is *wrong* with you?!

Korra

?

Hey, what are you doing in my gym?

Korra

Uh, I was just looking for a bathroom, and got lost.

Ah, the old "I had to pee" excuse. You know, I'm sick and tired of you kids sneaking in without paying. I'm taking you to security.

Bolin

There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you. It's alright, Toza, she's with me.

Korra

Yeah, I'm with him.

Bolin

So, you see, we're together.

Korra

Well not "together"-together. More like friends.

Bolin

Right, friends. No, no, I didn't mean to imply-

Korra

Oh, you implied it.

Korra

I've been immersed in bending my entire life and I never learned how to move like that. It's like there's a whole new style here. Think you could show me a few tricks?

Bolin

Ab-so-lutely.

Mako

Right now? Come on, Bolin.

Bolin

Just ignore him. Yeah, I can show you the basics. I'm just not sure how my Earthbending would translate to your Waterbending, but we'll figure it out.

Korra

Won't be a problem. I'm actually a earthbender.

Bolin

I'm sorry. No, no, I didn't mean to assume... cause I was just figuring, with your Water Tribe get-up, that you are a Water Tribe... gal

Korra

No, you're right. I'm a waterbender and a firebender.

Bolin

Hm, I'm very confused right now.

Mako

You're the Avatar and I'm an idiot.

Korra

Both are true.

Bolin

No... way! The Avatar!

Korra

Ugh! I can't bend... I can't bend!

Mako

Calm down; it'll wear off. Those guys were chi blockers. They're Amon's henchmen.

Korra

Amon? That anti-bending guy with the mask?

Mako

Yeah. He's the leader of the Equalists.

Korra

What do they want with the Triple Threats?

Mako

Whatever it is... it can't be good. I can't believe Bolin got himself into this mess!

Korra

(touches his arm) Mako. We are going to save your brother. I promise you.

Amon

My quest for equality began many years ago. When I was a boy, my family and I lived on a small farm. We weren't rich and none of us were benders. This made us very easy targets for the Firebender who extorted my father. One day, my father confronted this man, but when he did that Firebender took my family from me. Then, he took my face. I've been forced to hide behind a mask ever since. As you know, the Avatar has recently arrived in Republic City. And if she were here, she would tell you that bending brings balance to the world, but she is wrong. The only thing bending has brought is suffering. It has been the cause of every war in every era, but that is about to change. I know that you all have been wondering "What is the Revelation?" You are about to get your answer. From the beginning of time, the spirits have acted as guardians of our world, and they have spoken to me. They said the Avatar has failed humanity, which is why the spirits have chosen me to usher in a new era of balance. They have granted me a power that will make equality a reality; the power to take a person's bending away, permanently.

Korra

(to Mako) That's impossible- there's no way!

Mako

This guy's insane.

Amon

Now, for a demonstration. Please welcome "Lightning Bolt" Zolt, leader of the Triple Threat Triad and one of the most notorious criminals in Republic City.

(in response to the booing crowd) Ah, boo yourself!

Korra

(sees Bolin among the captives) There's Bolin.

Mako

Wait! We can't fight them all. We need to be smart about this.

Korra

Then come up with a game plan, team captain.

Amon

Zolt has amassed a fortune by extorting and abusing non-benders, but his reign of terror... is about to come to an end. Now, in the interest of fairness, I will give Zolt the chance to fight to keep his bending.

(grins) You're gonna regret doin' that, pal!

What... what did you do to me?!

Amon

Your firebending is gone... forever. The era of bending is over. A new era of equality has begun!

Tenzin

I see Tarrlok's gifts are getting more and more extravagant.

Korra

(practicing her airbending maneuvers) Yeah. That guy really doesn't know how to take no for an answer.

Tenzin

Korra... are you doing all right?

Korra

Yeah! I'm... fine.

Tenzin

Why don't you take a break? (he sits down, Korra joins him) I'm glad you turned down Tarrlok, but I just wanted to make sure your decision was for the right reason.

Korra

I'm just really... focused on my airbending right now, is all.

Tenzin

(unconvinced) Right, that's... what you said. You know, it's okay to be scared. The whole city is frightened by what's been going on. The important thing is to talk about our fears, because if we don't, they can throw us out of balance. (stands and walks away) I'm always here for you, if you want to talk.

Hiroshi Sato

This is my daughter Asami.

Asami

It's lovely to meet you. Mako told me so much about you.

Korra

Really? Because he hasn't mentioned you at all. How did you two meet?

Bolin

[oblivious to tension] Asami crashed into him on her moped.

Tarrlok

Avatar Korra has bravely answered the call to action. With the two of us leading the charge, Republic City has nothing to fear from Amon and the Equalists.

Question for the Avatar: Amon remains at large. Why have you failed to locate him?

Korra

You wanna know why? Because Amon is hiding in the shadows like a coward. [grabs the microphone] Amon, I challenge you to a duel. No task force, no chi blockers, just the two of us tonight at midnight on Avatar Aang Memorial Island. Let's cut to the chase and settle this thing, if you're man enough to face me.
