and I've got nothing to say
Do you want me to be like you or totally honest?
A compendium of nifty quotes from all three seasons of the series. Enjoy!
S01E01: The Boy in the Iceberg
Aang: This is Appa, my flying bison.
Sokka: Riight. And this is Katara, my flying sister.
Sokka: I'm going home to where stuff makes sense.
S01E02: The Avatar Returns
Sokka: Fun? We can't fight firebenders with fun!
Aang: You should try it sometime.
Aang: Wow. I haven't cleaned my room in a hundred years....Not looking forward to that.
S01E03: The Southern Air Temple
Gyatso: ...But the true secret is in the gooey center!
Iroh: Even in exile, my nephew is more honorable than you.
S01E04: The Warriors of Kyoshi
Aang: Relax, Sokka! Where we're going, you won't need any pants!
Sokka: I treated you like a girl, when I should've treated you like a warrior.
Suki: I am a warrior. But I'm a girl, too.
S01E06: Imprisoned
Warden: No! Please! I can't swim!
Tyro: Don't worry. I hear cowards float.
S01E07: The Spirit World (Winter Solstice, Part 1)
Katara: I think you can do it, Aang.
Sokka: Yeah....We're all gonna get eaten by a spirit monster.
S01E08: Avatar Roku (Winter Solstice, Part 2)
Zuko: I'm chasing the Avatar! My father will understand why I'm returning home!
Iroh: You give him too much credit. My brother is not the understanding type.
S01E09: The Waterbending Scroll
Katara: Aang, this is all my fault.
Aang: No, Katara, it's not.
Iroh: Yeah, it kind of is.
S01E15: Bato of the Water Tribe
Zuko: Out of my way! Step aside, filth!
Iroh: He means no offense! I'm certain you bathe regularly!
Aunt Wu: Care to hear your fortune, handsome?
Iroh: At my age there's really only one surprise left, and I'd just as soon leave it a mystery.
Zuko: How stupid do you think I am?
Sokka: Pretty stupid.
S01E16: The Deserter
Jeong Jeong: Fire is alive. It breathes. It grows. Without the bender, a rock will not throw itself. But fire will spread and destroy everything in its path if one does not have the will to control it.
Jeong Jeong: But fire is a horrible burden to bear. Its nature is to consume, and without control, it destroys everything around it. Learn restraint, or risk destroying yourself and everything you love.
Jeong Jeong: Fire brings only destruction and pain. It forces those of us burdened with its care to walk a razor's edge between humanity and savagery. Eventually...we're torn apart.
S01E17: The Northern Air Temple
Aang: I laugh at gravity all the time. Hehehe. Gravity.
Katara: Do you think we'll really find airbenders?
Sokka: You want me to be like you or totally honest?
Katara: Are you saying I'm a liar?
Sokka: I'm saying you're an optimist. Same thing, basically.
S02E01: The Avatar State
Zuko: You lied to me!
Azula: Like I've never done that before.
S02E02: The Cave of Two Lovers
Chong: We don't need a map; we just need love. The little guy knows it.

S02E06: The Blind Bandit
The Boulder: The Boulder feels conflicted about fighting a young blind girl.
Toph: Sounds to me like you're scared, Boulder!
The Boulder: ...The Boulder's over his conflicted feelings.
S02E09: Bitter Work
Zuko: I know what you're going to say: She's my sister, and I should be trying to get along with her.
Iroh: No, she's crazy, and she needs to go down.
S02E10: The Library
Professor Zei: You're a living relic!
Aang: Thanks. I try.
S02E11: The Desert
Iroh: It's nice to see old friends.
Zuko: Too bad you don't have any old friends who don't want to attack you.
Iroh: Hmm...old friends who don't want to attack me....
S02E13: The Drill
Iroh: I know you're not supposed to cry over spilled tea, but...*sniff*...that's just so sad!
S02E14: City of Walls and Secrets
Iroh: This tea is nothing more than hot leaf juice!
Zuko: ...Uncle, that's what all tea is.
Iroh: How could a member of my own family say something so horrible!
S02E17: Lake Laogai
Zuko: I know my own destiny, Uncle!
Iroh: Is it your own destiny? Or is it a destiny someone else has tried to force on you?
Iroh: It's time for you to look inward and ask yourself the big questions: Who are you, and what do you want?
S02E18: The Earth King
Sokka: You see, Aang? A little positive thinking works wonders. We got the king on our side, we got Long Feng arrested, and when we get back...Suki's waiting for me.
Aang: Yeah...girls are waiting for us. Thanks, positive attitude.
S02E20: The Crossroads of Destiny
Iroh: I know how you must feel about my nephew, but believe me when I tell you there is good inside him.
Sokka: Good inside him isn't enough. Why don'tcha come back when it's outside him, too, okay?
S03E03: The Painted Lady
Katara: I will never ever turn my back on people who need me!
S03E05: The Beach
Zuko: Here. This is for you.
Mai: Why would I want that?
Zuko: I saw it and thought it was pretty. Don't girls like stuff like that?
Mai: Maybe stupid girls.
Ty Lee: Okay, look. If you want a boy to like you, just look at him and smile a lot and laugh at everything he says, even if it's not funny.
Azula: Well that sounds really shallow and stupid. Let's try it.
S03E06: The Avatar and the Firelord
Azula: It's never too early for a sitting with the court painter, Zuko. Make sure he gets your good side.
S03E09: Nightmares and Daydreams
Aang: It was just a dream, Momo. I still have my pants.
Katara: Aang, it's the middle of the night. You've got to go back to sleep.
Aang: But I forgot my pants and my math test!
Zuko: During the meeting I was the perfect prince...the son my father wanted. But I wasn't me.
S03E10: The Day of Black Sun, Part 1: The Invasion
Huu: Pants are an illusion. And so is death.
S03E11: The Day of Black Sun, Part 2: The Eclipse

Toph: Perish in burning hot magma.
S03E12: The Western Air Temple
Zuko: Why am I so bad at being good?!
S03E13: The Firebending Masters
Aang: You know, Zuko, I don't care what everyone else says about you; you're pretty smart.
S03E14: The Boiling Rock, Part 1
Sokka: My first girlfriend turned into the moon.
Zuko: ...That's rough, buddy.
S03E16: The Southern Raiders
Aang: It's easy to do nothing; it's hard to forgive.
S03E18: Sozin's Comet, Part 1: The Phoenix King
Zuko: My whole life I struggled to gain my father's love and acceptance. But once I had it I realized I lost myself getting there.
Aang: Maybe we can make some big pots of glue, and then I can use gluebending to stick his arms and legs together so he can't bend anymore.
Zuko: Yeah! Then you can show him his baby pictures and all those happy memories will make him good again!
Aang: Do you really think that would work?
Zuko: No!
S03E20: Sozin's Comet, Part 3: Into the Inferno
Azula: I won't have my first day as Firelord marred by poor foot hygiene.
Azula: I'm sorry it has to end this way, brother.
Zuko: No you're not.
