Quotes 

• Hama : Once you perfect this technique, you can control anything, or... anyone.

  Katara : But to reach inside someone and control them? I-I don't know if I want that kind of power.

  Hama : The choice is not yours. The power exists. And it's your duty to use the gifts you've been given to win this war. Katara, they tried to wipe us out, our entire culture. Your mother!

• Hama : They threw me in prison to rot. Along with my brothers and sisters. They deserve the same. You must carry on my work.

  Katara : I won't! I won't use Bloodbending and I won't allow you to keep terrorizing this town.

  [Hama starts to use Bloodbending on Katara] 

  Hama : You should have learned the technique before you turned against me. It's impossible to fight your way out of my grip. I control every muscle, every vein in your body.

• Katara : You're not the only one who draws power from the moon. My Bending is more powerful than yours, Hama. Your technique is useless on me.

• Katara : That Mr. Yao seems to have a thing for you. Maybe we should go back and see if he'll give us some free Komodo sausages.

  Hama : You would have me use my feminine charms to take advantage of that poor man? I think you and I are going to get along swimmingly.

• Hama : Growing up at the South Pole, Waterbenders are totally at home surrounded by snow and ice and seas. But as you probably noticed on your travels, that isn't the case where ever you go.

  Katara : I know. When we were stranded in the desert I felt like there was almost nothing I could do.

  Hama : That's why you have to learn to control water wherever it exists.

  Katara : I've even used my own sweat for Waterbending.

  Hama : That's very resourceful, Katara. You're thinking like a true master. But did you know you can even pull water out of thin air?

  [Hama demonstrates] 

  Hama : You've got to keep an open mind, Katara. There's water in places you never think about.

• [Hama extracts all the water from the surrounding lilies for a demonstration, killing them in the process] 

  Katara : That was incredible. It's a shame about the lilies though.

  Hama : They're just flowers. When you're a Waterbender in a strange land, you do what you must to survive. Tonight I'll teach you the *ultimate* technique of Waterbending. It can only be done during the full moon, when your Bending is at its peak.

  Katara : But, isn't that dangerous? I thought people have been disappearing around here during the full moon.

  Hama : Oh, Katara... two master Waterbenders beneath a full moon? I don't think we have anything to worry about.

• Hama : I never thought I'd meet another Southern Waterbender. I'd like to teach you what I know, so you can carry on the Southern tradition when I'm gone.

  Katara : Yes! Yes, of course! To learn about my heiritage, it would me everything to me.

  Sokka : [telling a ghost story]  Suddenly they heard something down the hall in the dark. Ooh... It came into the torchlight. And they knew the blade of Wing-Fun was haunted! Aah-ah...

  [Sokka dramatically pulls his sword out and wails in an attempt to be scary. Aang, Katara, and Toph are unimpressed] 

  Aang : I think I liked 'the man with a sword for a hand' better.

  Toph : Water Tribe slumber parties must stink.

  Katara : No, wait, I've got one, and this is a true Southern Water Tribe story.

  Sokka : [skeptical]  Is this one of those 'a friend of my cousin knew some guy that this happened to' stories?

  Katara : No. It happened to Mom.
