TV show quotes
You are not welcome into my oasis, human!
Please, help me. I'm starving and I haven't slept all night.
Not my problem!
[shoots fire in front of the Aye-Aye Spirit] Let me pass!
[Indignant] You dare use fire against me?! [he disappears, reappearing behind Wan, who he throws into a nearby bush] Now be gone with you!
[Wan tries to enter the oasis in disguise by covering himself with bushes]
And who might you be?
[in a spooky voice] I am Bushy the bush spirit. And I would like to enter your oasis.
Very well. You may pass.
[Wan walks past and the Aye-Aye Spirit sniffs the air]
Wait a minute! Something stinks. [pulls Wan's mask off] I knew I smelled a human!
Guess I underestimated you, human.
Are you off to find another Lion Turtle city?
I was. But I think I've had enough of humans for a while. I've decided to stay here and learn the ways of the spirits.
What a great idea!
That'll be fun!
Oh, now, now, hold on. A human living with spirits? It's never been done.
First time for everything, right?
Hmm. I guess we can try it. I've never had a human as a pet before. I think I'll call you "Stinky."
The name is Wan.
Stinky is more accurate.
[to Raava and Vaatu] Stop, or you'll destroy everything!
This doesn't concern you, human!
It does when the lives of spirits and animals are in danger!
If you are a friend to the spirits, then use your fire to help me break free!
Don't involve the human! This is between us!
[frantically] Please! Save me! She has tormented me for ten thousand years!
Ten thousand years? [attacking Raava] Let him go!
[Wan weakens Raava's grip on Vaatu. Raava swats the young man away. Vaatu pulls further from Raava, until only one tendril holds the two spirits together. Wan, recovering, sees this and uses his firebending to separate the two spirits. Vaatu flies away from Raava, and stands atop a nearby mountain to address Wan.]
Thank you, human. You have preformed a great service for the spirits. [Vaatu flies away]
[to Wan] Do you realize what you've done?!
Yeah. I helped a spirit who was being bullied by you!
You are gravely mistaken. I was keeping him under control.
And what gives you the right?
You don't even know who I am, do you?
Should I?
Yes. My name is Raava. That spirit you freed is Vaatu. He is the force of darkness and chaos. I am the force of light and peace. Since the beginning of time, we have battled for the fate of this world, and for the past ten thousand years, I have kept darkness under control and the world in balance. Until you came along.
So, by freeing Vaatu, I let chaos into the world?
Precisely. The human and spirit realms are heading toward annihilation, and it's all your fault.
[cut back to Korra in the present day]
[quietly] Raava, I found you.
So we meet again, human!
[Emerges from the spirit portal] Are you ready for our final battle, Raava? Thanks to our friend separating us, I think this time, I may be rid of you once and for all!
Before you get to her, you'll have to go through me!
[scoffs] No human can stand against me!
Haven't you heard the legends? I'm not a regular human anymore.
[To Wan] I lived ten thousand lifetimes before the first of your kind crawled out of the mud! [Blasts Wan] It was I who broke through the divide that separated the plane of Spirits from the material world! [Blasts Wan again] To hate me is to give me breath. To fight me is to give me strength. Now prepare to face oblivion!
I have to leave you. If I stay any longer, you will die.
...It doesn't matter! If you leave me now, Vaatu will destroy everything. We have to finish this together!
The Harmonic Convergence is about to begin! The Era of Raava is over!
[As the Harmonic Convergence begins, Wan fuses his soul to Raava's spirit, becoming the first Avatar]
We are bonded forever.
[Entering the Avatar State, Wan makes quick work of Vaatu, trapping him inside an elemental sphere and imprisoning him within the Tree of Time]
This is your prison now, and I will close the portals so no human will ever be able to physically enter the Spirit World and release you.
The spirits must stop fighting with humans and return to their home in the Spirit World. I will teach men to respect the spirits so that balance will be maintained. I will be the bridge between our two worlds.
The world is entering a new age. Our time protecting mankind is over. We will no longer give humans the power of the elements.
Different groups of people must learn to live together. This is my mission: to use Raava's light spirit to guide the world toward peace.
[At the end of his life, and elderly Wan is lying alone on an abandoned battlefied and has one last conversation with Raava]
I'm sorry, Raava. I failed to bring peace. Even with Vaatu locked away, darkness still surrounds Humanity. There wasn't enough time.
Don't worry, we will be together for all of your lifetimes, and we will never give up. [Wan dies, and a glowing wisp leaves his mouth. The screen fades to white and a baby is heard crying.]
[Cut back to Korra in the present day. Her eyes glow white as she briefly enters the Avatar State and wakes up.]
I remember.
Do you know who you are?
My name is Korra. I'm the Avatar.
Just tell us everything!
Everything? Okay. [speaking very quickly while everyone looks at her, stunned] I opened a spirit portal at the South Pole, but then Unalaq turned out to be bad guy and wanted to take control of the South. So I sort of started a civil war, but when I went to find some help, I was attacked by my cousins and then by a giant, dark spirit, and then I forgot who I was, and then I met the first Avatar, and then I realized I shouldn't have opened the portal in the first place, and now I need to close it again!
...
I knew this would happen!
... Your spiritual training has come a long way.
Unalaq may be a horrible person, but his spirit powers are no joke.
(sadly) He taught you how to transform dark spirits. I can't even get you into the Spirit World.
Everything Unalaq taught me was to help himself; everything you've done was meant to help me. I am so sorry for turning my back on you as my mentor. I need you now, more than ever.
... I won't let you down.
The Avatar is dead... and we cannot open the Spirit Portal. I have failed you, Vaatu.
You have not failed me... yet. The Avatar still lives.
...How do you know?
Even though my connection to Raava was severed, I can still feel her presence.
I'll find her.
The Avatar will find you. She has just entered the Spirit World.
[Jinora enters Wan Shi Tong's library with Furryfoot]
Wow. I could just stay in here forever, reading.
[Wan Shi Tong suddenly flies down and lands in front of her]
(coldly) The last human who said that... is still here.
[He indicates Professor Zhei's mummified corpse]
...Professor Zhei.
I see you have some knowledge of the past, so you should know that humans are no longer allowed in my library. Get out.
[Furryfoot squeaks in fear and retreats]
I thought anyone could come in if they brought you some new knowledge.
Those are the old rules! Besides, what is a little girl going to teach Wan Shi Tong, he who knows ten thousand things?
Well, since you've been down in the Spirit World, the humans have invented radio.
Yes, I am well aware of the radio.
But do you know how it works?
Of course I do. There is a box, and inside the box there is a tiny man, who sings and plays musical instruments.
Actually: when we speak, our voices produce sound waves. Radio takes those sound waves and converts them into electromagnetic energy, that is transmitted through the spectrum-
All right, enough! (pause) I did not know this. Apparently, I have been fed some misinformation about the existence of tiny men in boxes. (glares at his fox-messenger, who whimpers and retreats.) Still, I'm not interested in that human garbage. Now, go away.
My grandfather is the Avatar, and I came to the Spirit World with the new Avatar to find the Spirit Portals. I would think that you'd wanna help me.
... You came with the Avatar, hmm? Well, why didn't you say so? Fine, you may look around- but don't break anything! I'll know.
[He flies off]
How long have you lived here?
Oh, I've been here for many years. I've always enjoyed the company of the Spirits. So when my work was done in the material world, I chose to leave my body behind and come to the Spirit World. It can be a wonderful place, and I've made so many friends. (he notices she is looking upset) Korra, what's wrong?
I came here with my friend... but I lost her, and now I'm all alone.
You're not alone, Korra. It's okay.
No, it's not okay! Jinora's gone, and I need to find her. She's lost, and we need to go home! I don't like the Spirit World, I don't wanna be here anymore!
[Iroh's spirit friends become deformed and menacing due to Korra's negative energy and dark clouds settle over them]
Korra, please stop! Look at what you're doing to everyone.
... I did that?
In the Spirit World, your emotions become your reality, especially for the Avatar, because you are the bridge between the two worlds. You must try to stay positive.
[Korra takes a deep breath and calms herself]
... I'm sorry.
[The clouds recede and the spirits become friendly again.]
(beams) There, you see?
I can make the sun shine?
Even in the material world, you will find that if you look for the light, that you can often find it. But if you look for the dark, that is all you will ever see.
... I'm looking for my friend. I want her here now. [Nothing happens] Why didn't she come out like the sun?
I'm afraid finding her won't be so easy.
But what am I supposed to do?
Sometimes the best way to solve your own problems is to help someone else.
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!
Yes, sir.
Zhu Li's in prison with you?
Of course! I don't go anywhere without my assistant. Do you?
(angrily) We're not interested in your tea, and this isn't a friendly visit.
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.
You stole everything from me, and you tried to kidnap the President! Those are pretty bad, too.
I wasn't going to hurt him, I just needed to start a war! Well, a bigger war.
Well, we're gonna end it! Where's all the stuff you stole from Asami?
The Future Industries stuff? It's on my battleship.
You have a battleship?
Of course I do! I bought the first one they made! Named her the Zhu Li.
You named your battleship after your assistant?
Yep! They're both cold, heartless war machines.
Your tea, sir.
It's true that when Wan fused with Raava he tipped the scales in her favor, but this time I'll be here to level the playing field. When Harmonic Convergence comes, I will fuse with Vaatu, and together we will become the new Avatar: a Dark Avatar.
