Aang
If the Avatar had returned, would that mean anything to you?
The Avatar is dead! If he was here, he'd protect us.
Aang
My name is Aang, and I am the Avatar. [reveals his airbending tattoos] I ran away... but I'm back now.
The Avatar. Where have you been?
Katara
Aang? Can you hear me? I knew you were real. I always knew you'd return.
So did I. (Katara turns around and sees Zuko removing the last piece of his white uniform and holding a torch in his hand)
Katara
The Fire Lord's son. (Zuko lowers the torch to the ground and sets the surrounding ground on fire; he sends two fire blasts at Katara who puts each of them out; Zuko stares at Katara in surprise)
Who are you?
Katara
My name is Katara. And I'm the only Waterbender left in the Southern Water Tribe. (Zuko sends two fire blasts at Katara; she puts out of the one blasts, but gets hit by the second blast; Zuko props Katara up against a tree)
I have to take him.
Katara
What would you do if the Fire Nation took me away?
Sokka
I'd kill them all. I promised Dad I'd protect you with my life.
I hope you can forgive me.
Aang
For what?
For this. (he takes out a knife and Fire Nation archers come out from behind the Avatar statues) I have lived in poverty because of you.
Do you think my son is this person the soldiers are calling the Blue Spirit?
Zhao
Yes.
Do not harm my son. Leave him to his isolation.
Zhao
You have my word, sire. I will not harm him.
And what of the Avatar?
Zhao
We assume he has rejoined with his supporters. It has been confirmed that he's traveling north. It is my strong belief that he is traveling to the Northern Water Tribe. I believe he has only knowledge of his birth element, air, and is trying to learn the discipline of water.
I am pleased.
We have to show them that we believe in our beliefs as much as they believe in theirs.
Aang (after escaping Zuko): Thanks for bringing Appa to me. The Fire Nation's up to something. I have to go back now.
Sokka
We'll come with you.
Aang
I can take you back to the village. (Katara and Sokka look at each other)
Katara
We're going with you.
Sokka (about Yue's birth): You never told me that.
You never asked me, but your grandmother did.
Zuko (after Aang passed the "test"): You are now my prisoner.
Aang
What?! But you said-
Iroh
I should have explained more. If you failed the test, you'd be free to go. But you're the only one who has been able to pass the test. It is an honor to be in your presence.
Sokka
Okay. Everybody can help us now!
Sokka
Glad to see your "talk" worked.
Sokka
Katara!
Zhao
Why are you doing this? Who are you?
