Avatar - The Last Airbender Quotes

Aang: All these past avatar, they keep telling me I have to do it. [Momo chitters]
Aang: You're right. Maybe an Air Nomad Avatar will understand where I'm coming from. I know you can't really talk. Pretending you can helps me think. [Momo chitters]
Aang: I'm going to pretend I didn't pretend to hear that.

Prince Zuko: What are you doing here?
Uncle Iroh: I was about to ask you the same thing. What do you plan to do now that you've found the avatar's bison? Are you going to keep him locked up in our apparetment? Should I make some tea for him?
Prince Zuko: First I have to get him out of here.
Uncle Iroh: AND THEN WHAT? You never think these things through. This is exactly what happened when you captured the Avatar at the North Pole. YOU HAD HIM AND THEN YOU HAD NOWHERE TO GO!
Prince Zuko: I would have figured something out.
Uncle Iroh: NO! If his friends hadn't of found you YOU WOULD HAVE FROZEN TO DEATH!
Prince Zuko: I know my own destiny Uncle!
Uncle Iroh: Is it your own destiny or one that someone is trying to force on you?
Prince Zuko: Stop it Uncle! I have to do this!
Uncle Iroh: I'M BEGGING YOU, PRINCE ZUKO! It's time for you to look inward and start asking yourself the big question: who are you and what do YOU want?
Prince Zuko: [yells in frustration and slams his swords on the ground]

Toph Beifong: Okay, I'm coming!

Movie: Avatar - The Last Airbender
Katara: [voiceover]Water, Earth, Fire, Air. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept balance between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless firebenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years have passed and the Fire Nation is nearing victory in the war. Two years ago, my father and the men of my tribe journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Fire Nation, leaving me and my brother to look after our tribe. Some people believe that the Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads and that the cycle is broken, but I haven't lost hope. I still believe that somehow the Avatar will return to save the world.

Iroh: So this is how the great Commander Zhao acts in defeat? Disgraceful. Even in exile, my nephew is more honorable than you. Thanks again for the tea. It was delicious. [Iroh and Zuko leave]
Zuko: Did you really mean that, Uncle?
Iroh: Of course. I told you ginseng tea is my favorite.

Katara: Aang? Before we get to the temple, I want to talk to you about the airbenders.
Aang: What about 'em?
Katara: Well, I just want you to be prepared for what you might see. The Fire Nation is ruthless. They killed my mother and they could have done the same to your people.
Aang: Just because no one has seen an airbender doesn't mean the Fire Nation killed them all... They probably escaped.
Katara: I know it's hard to accept.
Aang: You don't understand, Katara. The only way to get to an airbender temple is on a flying bison, and I doubt the Fire Nation has any flying bison.

Aang: This whole Avatar thing... maybe the monks made a mistake.
Gyatso: The only mistake they made was telling you before you turned sixteen. But we can't concern ourselves with what was. We must act on what is.
Aang: But Gyatso, how do I know if I'm ready for this?
Gyatso: Your questions will be answered when you are old enough to enter the Air Temple sanctuary. Inside you will meet someone who will guide you on your journey.
Aang: (really happy) Who is it?
Gyatso: When you are ready he will reveal himself to you.

Zuko: [Studying a map detailing reported Avatar sightings scattered around] How am I going to find the Avatar, Uncle? He is clearly a master of evasive maneuvering.
[Cut to Sokka, looking at a similar map]
Sokka: [to Aang] You have no idea where you're going, do you?
Aang: No but I know it's near water (zooms out to show the ocean below)
Sokka: We must be getting close, then.

Roku: Mastering the elements takes years of discipline and practise. But if the world is to survive, you must do it by summer's end.
Aang: What if I can't master all the elements in time? What if I fail?
Roku: I know you can do it, Aang, for you have done it before.

Katara: What does me being a girl have to do with sewing?
Sokka: Simple: girls are better at fixing pants than guys, and guys are better at hunting and fighting and stuff like that. It's just the natural order of things.
Katara: [with exaggerated happiness] All done with your pants! [throws them, they hit Sokka in the head] And look what a great job I did!
Sokka: Wait! I can't wear this! Katara! [sticks his hand through the hole in his pants]
Aang: Relax, Sokka. Where we're going, you won't need any pants!

Sokka: (straining at his bonds) Who are you? Where are the men who ambushed us?
Suki: There were no men. We ambushed you. Now tell us, who are you and what are you doing here?
Sokka: Wait! There's no way a bunch of girls took us down.
Suki: A bunch of girls, huh? The unagi's gonna eat well tonight.
Katara: No, don't hurt him! He didn't mean it. My brother is just an idiot sometimes.

[Aang, Katara and Sokka walk toward Omashu's gate, but are stopped by the gate guards, one of which positions a rock over Aang's head]
Gate Guard: Halt! State your business here.
Aang: [runs up to the guard][elderly voice] My business is my business young man and none of yours! I've got a good mind to put you over my knee and paddle your backside!
Gate Guard: Settle down, old timer. Just tell me who you are.
Aang: Name's Bonzu Pipinpadaloxicopolis, the Third, and these are my grandkids.
Katara [now smiling serenely]: Hi, June Pipinpadaloxicopolis. Nice to meet you.
Gate Gaurd: [to Katara] You seem like a responsible young lady. See to it that your grandfather stays out of trouble. Enjoy Omashu.
[Aang, Katara and Sokka walk to the gate until the guard stops Sokka]
Gate Guard: [places a hand on Sokka's shoulder] Wait a minute... [Sokka becomes nervous] ...you're a strong young man. Show some respect for the elderly and carry your grandfather's bag!
Aang: Good idea! [throws Sokka his bag]

King Bumi: There's an airbender in our presence and not just any airbender, the Avatar! Now what do you have to say for yourself, Mr. Pipinpadaloxicopolis?!

King Bumi: Tomorrow the Avatar will face three deadly challenges. But for now, the guards will show you to your chamber.
Guard: My liege, do you mean the good chamber, or the bad chamber?
King Bumi: The newly refurbished chamber.
Guard: Wait, which one are we talking about?
King Bumi: The one that used to be the bad chamber, until the recent refurbishing that is. Of course, we've been calling it the new chamber, but we really should number them. Uh, take them to the refurbished chamber that was once bad!

Katara: Earthbenders! You don't know me, but I know of you. Every child of my water tribe village was rocked to sleep with stories of the brave Earth Kingdom and the courageous earthbenders who guard its borders. Some of you may think that the Fire Nation has made you powerless. Yes, they have taken away your ability to bend, but they can't take away your courage and it is your courage they should truly fear! Because it runs deeper than any mine you've been forced to dig, any ocean that keeps you far from home. It is the strength of your hearts that make you who you are, hearts that will remain unbroken when all rock and stone has eroded away. The time to fight back is now! I can tell you the Avatar has returned! So remember your courage, earthbenders, let us fight for our freedom!

Warden: Tell me exactly what you saw.
Captain: Well, Sir, it looked like a flying bison.
Warden: A what?
Guard: It was a giant flying buffalo, Sir, with an empty saddle.
Warden: Which was it? A buffalo or a bison?
Captain: Uh, I'm not sure what the difference is, but that's not really the point is it, Sir?
Warden: (angry): I'll decide what the point is, fool!

Warden: You! Wake up the Captain. Search the entire rig!
Guard: Sir?
Warden: What!?
Guard: That was the Captain you just threw overboard, sir. So…
Warden: Then wake up someone I haven't thrown overboard and search the rig! There's something going on here and I don't like it.
