Eska quotes from The Legend of Korra

Eska

You will always hold a special place in the organ that pumps my blood.

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.

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!

(pointing at a map)) Tonraq and the rebels are holed up here in the hills outside of town.

Unalaq

Leave them. My brother's no threat to us up there. Increase security around the Spirit Portal. Keeping it safe is ournumber one priority.

Yes, sir.

Unalaq

I need you two to go after the Avatar. She's the only one who can open the Northern Spirit Portal.

Desna

But, Father, you told Korra-

Unalaq

I told Korra what I thought she needed to hear.

Eska

I'll find her. (vengefully) She stole my husband.

Unalaq

I need her... alive.

Eska

(sighs) ...Fine.

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.

Eska

Why didn't anyone tell us we have a secret prison we could have been throwing people in?

Desna

I'd like to put my tailor in here. He never gets my cuffs right. They're so creasy.

We built this place secretly with your father to hold a very special prisoner. She's a powerful firebender named P'Li who can create explosions with her mind. Ironically, I hired a guy with a similar ability to kill the Avatar myself once. [awkward pause] Didn't work.

Eska

Don't feel bad. I tried to kill Korra after she ruined my wedding. It happens.

Tonraq

Let's just focus on keeping this woman in prison.

The intense cold prevents her from firebending.

Desna

There's certainly no way anyone's breaking out of here.

That's what we thought about the other three prisons.

P'Li

[shivering] Must be something exciting going on. No one interesting has visited me in 13 years.

Tonraq

Don't get used to it.

P'Li

He's out, isn't he? Mmm, I'm feeling warmer already.
