- Prince Zuko: [after seeing his uncle flirt with a rather ugly ticket seller] I'm gonna forget I saw that.
- Uncle Iroh: I know your not supposed to cry over spilled tea, but...
- [cries]
- Uncle Iroh: ...it's just so sad.
- [last lines]
- Sokka: I just wanted to say, good effort out there today, Team Avatar.
- Katara: Enough with the Team Avatar stuff. No matter how many times you say it, it's not gonna catch on.
- Sokka: How about... the Boomerang Squad? See, it's good 'cause it has Aang in it... Boomer-aang.
- Aang: I kind of like that one.
- Katara: Let's talk about this on our way into the city.
- Sokka: The Aang Gang?
- Katara: Sokka.
- Sokka: The Fearsome Foursome.
- Toph: You're crazy.
- Sokka: Why? We're fearsome.
- General Sung: I have a situation under control. I assure you, the Fire Nation cannot penetrate this wall. Many have tried to break through it, but *none* have succeeded.
- Toph: What about the Dragon of the West? He got in.
- General Sung: W-well, technically, yes, but he was quickly expunged. Nevertheless, that's why the city is called Ba Sing Se. It's the impenetrable city. They don't call it Na Sing Se.
- [laughs]
- General Sung: That means 'penetrable city.'
- [after witnessing Mai and Ty Lee decimate Team Terra]
- General Sung: We're doomed!
- Sokka: [Sokka slaps General Sung] Get a hold of yourself, man!
- General Sung: You're right. I'm sorry.
- Toph: Maybe you'd like the Avatar's help now?
- General Sung: [Meekly to Aang] Yes, please.
- Smellerbee: [Thinking Zuko is Lee] Besides, I thought we were going straight now.
- Jet: We are, and the new Freedom Fighters could use a guy like Lee. What do you think, Longshot?
- [Longshot silently communicates with Jet]
- Jet: I can respect that.
- Sokka: [about the supports in the drill] Wow. It looks a lot thicker in person than it does in the plans. We're going to have to work pretty hard to cut through that!
- Katara: What's this 'we' stuff? Aang and I are going to have to do all the work.
- Sokka: Look, I'm the plan guy, you two are the cut-stuff-up-with-Waterbending guys. Together, we're Team Avatar!
- Aang: oph has been teaching me that you shouln't give 100% of your energy into any one strike. Sokka, take a fighting stance. You've got to be quick and accurate. Hit a series of points, and break your opponent's stance. And when he's reeling back, you deliver the final blow. His own weight becomes his downfall. Literally.
- Aang: [On top of the drill] General Sung, tell your soldiers to stop shooting rocks down here!
- General Sung: [Cut to Sung] Soldiers, whatever you do, don't stop shooting rocks down there!
- Tea Peddler: Get your hot tea here! Finest tea in Ba Sing Se!
- Uncle Iroh: [Excited] Oh, jasmine, please.
- [the peddler pours tea into Iroh's bowl, who delightedly takes a sip. His eyes widen in shock and he spits it out in disgust]
- Uncle Iroh: Blaugh! Coldest tea in Ba Sing Se is more like it. What a disgrace!
- Toph: Yeah, thanks for the tour, but we've still got the drill problem.
- General Sung: Not for long. To stop it, I've sent an elite platoon of Earthbenders called the Terra Team.
- Sokka: That's a good group name. Very catchy.
- [first lines]
- War Minister: This drill is a feat of scientific ingenuity and raw, destructive power. Once it tunnels through the wall, our troops will storm their city. The Earth Kingdom will finally fall, and you can claim Ba Sing Se in the name of your father. Nothing can stop us.
- Ty Lee: Hmm, what about those muscley guys down there?
- War Minister: Please. The drill's metal shell is impervious to any Earthbending attack.
- Azula: Oh, I'm sure it is, War Minister Ching, but just to be on the safe side... Mai and Ty Lee, take the Earthbenders out.
- Mai: Finally, something to do.
- Engineer: [Over the PA system] War Minister! An engineer was ambushed! His schematics were stolen!
- Engineer 2: [Also, over the PA system] War Minister! A brace on the starboard side has been cut clean through! It's sabotage, sir!
- [Azula to Mai and Tai Le]
- Azula: Let's go ladies.
- [Azula and her cohorts leave to investigate the sabotage]
