Quotes 

• Aang : That's amazing. I can't believe you were friends with Monk Gyatso just like I was.

  Avatar Roku : Some friendships are so strong they can even transcend lifetimes.

• Avatar Roku : I'm sparing you, Sozin. I'm letting you go in the name of our past friendship. But I warn you, even a single step out of line will result in your *permanent*... end.

• Young Sozin : Right from the start, I was destined to be Fire Lord. And although we didn't always know it, you were destined to be the Avatar. It's an amazing stroke of fate we know each other so well, isn't it? Together, we could do... anything.

  Young Roku : [Cautious]  Yeah, we could.

  Young Sozin : Our nation is enjoying an unprecedented time of peace and wealth. Our people are happy. And we're so fortunate in so many ways.

  Young Roku : [Growing more concerned]  Where are you going with this?

  Young Sozin : I've been thinking. We should share this prosperity with the rest of the world. In our hands is the most successful empire in history. It's time we expanded it.

  Young Roku : [Firmly]  No! The four nations are meant to be just that, four.

  Young Sozin : [Emphatically]  Roku, you haven't even stopped to consider the possibilities.

  Young Roku : [Angry]  There are no possibilities. This is the last I want to hear about this.

  Avatar Roku : [Narrating, to Aang]  That was my first real test as the Avatar. Unfortunately, it was many years before I learned that Sozin had gone ahead with his plan desite my warning.

• Avatar Roku : When love is real, it finds a way... And being the Avatar doesn't hurt your chances with the ladies either.

• Avatar Roku : Love is hard when you're young.

  Aang : You don't have to tell me.

  Avatar Roku : Don't worry, it gets better.

• [first lines] 

  Avatar Roku : [in a dream to Aang]  Aang, it's time you learned my history with Fire Lord Sozin. You need to understand how the war began if you want to know how to end it. Meet me on my home island on the day of the Summer Solstice.

  Aang : [talking in his sleep]  Okay, Roku.
