Quotes 

• Ty Lee : Calm down, you guys. This much negative energy is bad for your skin. You'll totally break out.

  Prince Zuko : Bad skin? Normal teenagers worry about bad skin. I don't have that luxury. My father decided to teach me a permanent lesson on my face.

  Ty Lee : Sorry, Zuko. I...

  Prince Zuko : For so long I thought that if my Dad accepted me, I'd be happy. I'm back home now. My Dad talks to me. Ha! He even thinks I'm a hero. Everything should be perfect, right? I should be happy now, but I'm not! I'm angrier than ever and I don't know why!

  Azula : There's a simple question you need to answer then. Who are you angry at?

  Prince Zuko : No one. I'm just angry.

  Mai : Yeah, who are you angry at, Zuko?

  Prince Zuko : Everyone. I don't know.

  Azula : Is it Dad?

  Prince Zuko : No, no.

  Ty Lee : Your uncle?

  Azula : Me?

  Prince Zuko : No, no, no, no!

  Mai : Then who? Who are you angry at?

  Azula : Answer the question, Zuko.

  Ty Lee : Talk to us.

  Mai : Come on. Answer the question.

  Azula : Come on, answer it.

  Prince Zuko : I'm angry at myself!

  Azula : Why?

  Prince Zuko : Because I'm confused. Because I'm not sure I know the difference between right and wrong anymore.

• Azula : [after a game of volleyball]  Yes! We defeated you for all time! You will never rise from the ashes of your shame and humiliation!... Ah! that was fun.

• Azula : That's a sharp outfit, Chan. Careful. You could puncture the hull of an empire-class Fire Nation battleship, leaving thousands to drown at sea, because it's so sharp.

• Azula : Together, you and I will be the strongest couple in the entire world! We will dominate the Earth!

  Chan : Uh... I got to go.

• Prince Zuko : I guess you wouldn't understand, would you, Azula? Because you're just *so* perfect.

  Azula : Well, yes, I guess you're right. I don't have sob stories like all of you. I could sit here and complain how our mom liked Zuko more than me, but I don't really care. My own mother... thought I was a monster... She was right, of course, but it still hurt.

• Ty Lee : Yes, I'm a circus freak. Go ahead and laugh all you want. You want to know why I joined the circus?

  Azula : Here we go.

  Ty Lee : Do you have any idea what my home life was like? Growing up with six sisters who looked *exactly* like me? It was like I didn't even have my own name. I joined the circus because I was scared of spending the rest of my life as part of a matched set. At least I'm different now. Circus freak is a compliment!

  Mai : I guess that explains why you need ten boyfriends, too.

  Ty Lee : I'm sorry, what?

  Mai : Attention issues. You couldn't get enough attention when you were a kid, so you're trying to make up for it now.

• Mai : What do you want from me? You want a teary confession about how hard my childhood was? Well, it wasn't. I was a rich, only child who got anything I wanted... as long as I behaved... and sat still... and didn't speak unless spoken to. My mother said I had to keep out of trouble. We had my dad's political career to think about.

  Azula : Well, that's it then. You had a controlling mother who had certain expectations, and if you strayed from them, you were shut down. That's why you're afraid to care about anything, and why you can't express yourself.

  Mai : You want me to express myself? Leave me alone!

• Azula : I thought I'd find you here.

  Prince Zuko : Those summers we spent here seem so long ago. So much has changed.

  Azula : Come down to the beach with me. Come on. This place is depressing.

• Ty Lee : You were jealous of me? But you're the most beautiful, smartest, perfect girl in the world.

  Azula : Well, you're right about all those things. But for some reason when I meet boys, they act as if I'm going to do something horrible to them.

  Ty Lee : [Ty Lee chuckles]  But you probably would do something horrible to them. I'm sure they're just intimidated by you. 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.

  Ty Lee : [Looks up grinning]  Let's try it.

  Ty Lee : [in a deep voice, pretending to be a guy]  Hey there, sweet sugarcakes. How ya likin' this party?

  [Azula laughs maniacally, all the party noises stop, and everyone stares at them] 

• [last lines] 

  Azula : You know what would make this trip *really* memorable?

  [they all go back to Chan's House and when Chan answers the door] 

  Azula : We've got some gad news, Chan.

  Prince Zuko : The party's over.

  [then they proceed to trash the house] 

• Azula : Come on, Ty Lee. You can't be this ignorant.

  Ty Lee : What are you talking about?

  Azula : Those boys only like you because you make it so easy for them. You're not a challenge. You're a tease. It's not like they actually care who you are.

• Azula : My own mother thought I was a monster.

  [Dramatic Pause] 

  Azula : She was right, of course, but it still hurt.

• [first lines] 

  Prince Zuko : Lighten up. So dad wanted to meet with his advisors alone, without anyone else around. Don't take it personally.

  Prince Zuko : Doing nothing is a waste of time. We're being sent away on a forced vacation. I feel like a child.

  Azula : Lighten up. So Dad wants to meet with his advisors alone, without anyone else around. Don't take it personally.
