Bolin quotes from The Legend of Korra

Bolin

Try to chi-block that, fools!

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!

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.

Bolin

So... what do you think of Korra, in a "girlfriend" sort of way?

Mako

Ah, she's great. But I think it makes more sense for me to go for Asami.

Bolin

I was talking about a girlfriend for me. Leave some ladies for the rest of us!

Mako

(looks startled) I know, that's... what I thought you meant!

Bolin

Well?

Mako

I dunno, Bo. It doesn't seem like a good idea for you to date Korra.

Bolin

You just said she was great, two seconds ago!

Mako

Yeah, Korra's a great athlete and Avatar and stuff, but... I don't know if she's really girlfriend material. She's more like a pal.

Bolin

Bro, you're nuts! Korra and I are perfect for each other. She's strong, I'm strong. She's fun, I'm fun. She's beautiful; I'm gorgeous! (pause) Okay, I don't care what you think; I'm gonna ask Korra out.

Mako

Look, it just isn't smart to date a teammate- especially during the Tournament! Keep your head outta the clouds, and your priorities straight, okay?

Well, well, well, if it isn't the Fire Ferrets. Probending's saddest excuse for a team. Tell me, how'd a couple of amateurs like you luck their way into the tournament? Especially you, uh-vatar. You know, if you'd like to learn how a real pro bends, I could give you some private lessons.

Korra

You wanna go toe to toe with me, pretty boy?

Go for it. I'll give you the first shot.

Bolin

Korra, don't. He's just trying to bait you. If you hit him, we're out of the tournament.

Bolin

I've never seen anyone rouse Tahno like that. You are one of a kind, Korra.

Ikki

And now for the grand tour! The Flying Bison sleeps in those caves down there. And that's the temple grandpa Aang built. And that's the green house that we grow the vegetables we eat.

Bolin

I have a couple of questions. Is this an all vegetarian island? Is that where you train Airbending? Do we have to wear Air Acolyte clothes? Do we each get our own Sky Bison, and final question, how many trees are on this island?

Ikki

Yes, yes, no, no, ten-thousand-five-hundred-fifty-two.

Lin

(To Tenzin) Wake up! (Slaps him in the face which wakes him up)

Bolin

Man, I had this awful dream that Korra was taken by this evil bloodbender. So weird.

Asami

Bolin, that really happened. He knocked us out.

Bolin

Are you serious? where is he? is he here right now?

Tarrlok is gone. I'll alert the whole force

Lin

We've been only been out for a while. But we can still pick up Tarrlok's trail

Tenzin

It could lead us to Korra! Let's go. (They left)

Bolin

[trying to flirt with Eska] Hey, I'm Bolin. I'm a friend of Korra's. You're Eska, right? Wow, i'm just-- I'm loving these robes. [Eska hisses] So you are from the north, right? Cool. That's like- You know, that's, like, my favorite direction.

Desna

I think he is trying to establish some kind of bond with you based on your geographic point of origin.

Eska

Perhaps it would be interesting you spend time with a person whose ways are so rough and uncultured. [to Bolin] You amuse me. I will make you mine.

Bolin

You mean like a boyfriend Or- or like a slave?

Eska

Yes. [grabs Bolin by the collar] Win me prizes.

Unalaq

The spirits are angry because he's here. Haven't you ever wondered how your father ended up in the South Pole? Why he's never taken you to visit his homeland in the North?

Tonraq

Unalaq, this is not the time.

Unalaq

You're right. You should have told her a long time ago.

Korra

Told me what?

Tonraq

I left the North pole because... I was banished.

Korra

You were banished from the North? Why?

Tonraq

Because I almost destroyed the entire tribe. Twenty years ago, I was a general in the Northern water tribe, sworn to protect my people.

Young Unalaq

Brother, we're being attacked.

Tonraq

I drove them out of the city and deep into the frozen tundra. We tracked them deep into an ancient forest. Many believed this forest was the home to spirits, and the barbarians retreated there because they thought wouldn't attack on such hallowed grounds. They thought wrong. We captured the barbarians, but in the process, we destroyed the forest. I didn't realize the consequences of what I had done. By destroying the forest, I unknowingly let loose angry spirits. They threatened to destroy everything. The entire city. Unalaq was able to guide the spirits back to the forest, but by then, the damage had been done. For being the cause of so much devastation, my father banished me from the Northern water tribe in shame. That's when I came to the South and started a new life.

Bolin

Whoa. So you were supposed to be chief. Then he became chief. No wonder you guys don't like each other.

Bolin

Mako! I'm so happy to see you!

Mako

Uh, you all right, bro?

Bolin

No! No, I'm not all right! I can't take anymore. Listen, I don't want to live in icy bliss with Eska! [sobbing] Don't make me! Oh, please, please don't make me.

Mako

Uh, hey, if you're that unhappy, just break up with her.

Bolin

Break up with her? You can do that?

Mako

Yeah. Guys do it all the time.

Bolin

How?

Mako

Just tell her you're not that into her anymore.

Bolin

Oh, no, no, I don't think she'd like that.

Mako

Ending a relationship is kind of like pulling off a bloodsucking leech. You just gotta rip it off and get it over with. You'll feel a lot better afterwards. Trust me.

Bolin

Thanks, Mako. I'm lucky you're so good at breaking girls' hearts. [laughs] Korra better watch out.

Asami

Where's Varrick? We should've closed our deal an hour ago.

Bolin

Would you relax? This place is great. And the best part about it? Eska doesn't know I'm here.

Bolin

Eeyah. I wasn't hiding. Hey, hey-hey, hey.

Eska

I'm not on the hunt for you. Currently.

Desna

We search for Varrick. Our father wishes him to stand trial.

Asami

What did he do?

Eska

He is a traitor to the Water Tribe, along with our aunt and uncle.

Asami

What?

Mako

Korra's parents were arrested?

Desna

Yes. Your powers of deduction are impressive.

Bolin

Yeah, he's a cop.

Varrick's not here.

Eska

Very well. Desna, let us continue our search elsewhere. [to Bolin] Boyfriend! Bow to me when I exit.

Bolin

Yes, yes, my sweet koala-otter.

Eska

You are so cute when you grovel.

Asami

Don't let her treat you that way! Stand up for yourself.

Bolin

I tried to break up with her, but Mako gave me terrible advice! Thank you Mako!

Mako

Wait, how are your girl problems my fault?

Asami

Bolin, you need to be honest with her. Tell her how you really feel.

Varrick

(unseen, muffled) Honesty is for fools, kid!

Bolin

...Varrick?

Varrick

If you wanna ditch this girl, then make yourself scarce. Disappear, like I did!

Asami

...Where are you?

Varrick

Somewhere Unalaq will never find me. (his face pops out of the stuffed platypus-bear's mouth) Inside Ping-Ping! How we doin'?

Mako

The coast is clear. You can come out.

Varrick

No way, mister. Not until I know it's absolutely 157 percent safe. (Zhu Li's hand appears and hands him a cup of tea) Ahh, thank you Zhu Li.

Asami

Your assistant's in there too?

Varrick

Zhu Li never leaves my side. (drinks the tea, then spits it out) Blecch, blech! You forgot the honey!

Zhu Li

(muffled) Sorry, sir. There isn't any in here.

Varrick

No honey?! We're in a bear, for crying out loud!

Varrick

Guys, hey!! Whattaya think? Varrick Industries built this prison, and I had this cell made special. I had a feeling I'd end up here, one day. (grins) Zhu Li, come on! We got guests! Whip up a pot of that green tea I love!

Zhu Li

Yes, sir.

Korra

Zhu Li's in prison with you?

Varrick

Of course! I don't go anywhere without my assistant. Do you?

Mako

(angrily) We're not interested in your tea, and this isn't a friendly visit.

Varrick

Don't tell me you guys are still mad about everything that happened?! I did some good things, too! Korra, who warned you about Unalaq? I did. (Korra looks guilty) Bolin, who got you into the movers? I did. (Bolin looks guilty) Asami, who saved your company? I did. (Asami looks guilty) Mako, who got you thrown in jail? I did! (Mako looks angry) Oh, yeah, I guess that was a bad thing.

Asami Sato

You stole everything from me, and you tried to kidnap the President! Those are pretty bad, too.

Varrick

I wasn't going to hurt him, I just needed to start a war! Well, a bigger war.

Bolin

Well, we're gonna end it! Where's all the stuff you stole from Asami?

Varrick

The Future Industries stuff? It's on my battleship.

Korra

You have a battleship?

Varrick

Of course I do! I bought the first one they made! Named her the Zhu Li.

Bolin

You named your battleship after your assistant?

Varrick

Yep! They're both cold, heartless war machines.

Zhu Li

Your tea, sir.

Mako

[after being trapped by Eska and Desna] Please, let us out.

Desna

His groveling is pathetic.

Eska

But I do enjoy the sweet scent of desperation.

Mako

Come on! Your dad has become an evil monster. He's trying to bring on eternal darkness! Why would you protect someone who doesn't care about you at all?

Desna

Father was going to let me expire when we tried to open the northern portal... Perhaps we should rethink our position.

Mako

Yes!

Eska

No. Don't listen to him. His words are poisoning your mind. [Bolin starts crying] What's with this outburst of emotion?

Bolin

I'm sorry, I can't help it. It's just so sad... that I'll never get to be with you again.

Eska

What? Explain yourself further.

Bolin

Eska, I've always loved you, and I've always wanted to be with you... but now that the world is ending, I'm never gonna get that chance.

Eska

We could have been together, but you left me at the altar.

Bolin

I was scared! I was scared of my true feelings for you. I should have never left you! I'm sorry. And I'm sorry that we'll never have a chance to rekindle the dying ember that was our love into a... Big fire of love flames.

Eska

[kisses Bolin, then releases him and Mako} You'll never defeat my father. But should you survive, perhaps we can spend eternal darkness together.

Mako

Wow, that was the best acting I've ever seen. You completely fooled her!

Bolin

[insincere] Yeah, right, that... that was acting.

Desna

[deadpan] They will certainly perish.

Mako

Korra!

Bolin

He's got the Spirit of Light!

Jinora

The world is in trouble.

Tenzin

What are you talking about? How do you know?

Jinora

I can feel it.

Bumi

What happened?

Jinora

It's Korra. [Jinora hands her father a butterfly spirit] This light spirit will guide you out of the Spirit World. [She begins to fade away] I have to go help.

Tenzin

Jinora, wait! [she vanishes]

Now, ten thousand years of darkness begins!
