Tenzin and Bumi in “Unfinished Business”

Tenzin

Bumi, can I talk to you? (the other Acolytes walk away as he approaches)

Bumi

(scowls) Lemme guess- you want to criticize me for something.

Tenzin

Actually, I need your help.

Bumi

Oh, yeah? (picks his ear) With what?

Tenzin

I don't think I'm doing very well with the new Airbenders. And... everyone knows you're a natural leader. (smiles weakly)

Bumi

(smugly) True, I did win the Admiral Tung natural leadership award. Twice. (Tenzin rolls his eyes)

Tenzin

What would you do, if you were in charge? Help me be more like you.

Bumi

I'd love to. (stands up) You've gotta use military discipline to whip these troops into shape. (gestures with his hands) The only way to deal with new recruits is to break them down so you can build them back up! Rule with an iron fist! Show them who the master is!

Tenzin

(raises his eyebrows and smiles) Thanks for the insight.

Bumi

(grins) My pleasure!

Tenzin

Dawn patrol! Everyone up!

Bumi

What're you doing? It's barely light out!

Tenzin

I'm taking your advice: I'm going to break you down in order to build you back up! (Bumi looks horrified) Now, get moving, recruits!
