- Aang: Top of the morning, Momo.
- Katara: Sounds like you slept well.
- Aang: Like a baby moose-lion. I'm ready to face the Fire Lord.
- Toph: So what's your strategy for taking him down? Gonna get your glow on and hit him with a little Avatar State action?
- Aang: I can't. When Azula shot me with lightning, my seventh chakra was locked, cutting off my connection to all the cosmic energy in the universe.
- Toph: You know what I just heard? Blah, blah, spiritual mumbo jumbo, blah, blah, something about space.
- Prince Zuko: [to a picture of his mother] I know I've made some bad choices. But today, I'm going to set things right.
- Sokka: [Trying to explain the invasion plan "from the beginning". Speaking rapidly] Katara and I discovered Aang frozen in an iceberg. Now, I didn't like Aang at first, but I grew to love him over time. Then we went to the Southern Air Temple where Aang used to live, and then we met Suki, who is a Kyoshi warrior. She made me dress like a woman and then she kissed me...
- Katara: [to Aang] Wow, when he says beginning, he means beginning beginning.
- Sokka: ...and then Aang's friend was a crazy old man and then Katara got Haru arrested and then now he's grown a mustache which if you look in the front row you can see him...
- Hakoda: Thank you, Sokka. It's okay, why don't you take a break?
- Aang: Sokka, that speech wasn't your moment of truth. That was just public speaking, and nobody's really good at that.
- Sokka: My dad is. He explained the plan perfectly and inspired everyone, like a real leader should.
- Aang: Look, your moment of truth isn't going to be in front of some map. It's gonna be out there on the battlefield.
- Sokka: You seem so confident about everything. How do you know we're going to win?
- Aang: Because I already failed the world once at Ba Sing Se. I won't let myself fail again.
- Hakoda: Everyone's counting on me to lead this mission, Katara. I won't let them down.
- Sokka: Can't you heal him any faster?
- Katara: I'm doing everything I can.
- Sokka: [hearing the sound of the battle continuing] I'll do it.
- Katara: No offense, Sokka, but you're not exactly Mr. Healing Hands.
- Sokka: No. I'll lead the invasion force.
- Katara, Aang: [speaking at the same time] Katara, I... / Aang, I...
- Aang: You go first.
- Katara: We've been through so many things together. And I've seen you grow up so much. You're not that little goofy kid I found in the iceberg anymore. I guess, what I'm trying to say is, I'm really proud of you.
- Aang: Everything's going to be different after today, isn't it?
- Katara: Yes, it is.
- Aang: What if... w-what if I don't come back?
- Katara: Aang, don't say that. Of course, you'll...
- [Aang kisses Katara]
- The Boulder: Excuse me. The Boulder is confused. Isn't the point to invade *during* the eclipse, when the Firebenders are powerless?
- Hakoda: The eclipse only lasts for eight minutes. Not enough time for the whole invasion. And the Royal Palace is heavily guarded by Firebenders. So that's where we'll need the eclipse advantage the most. When this is finished, the Avatar will have defeated the Fire Lord. We will have control of the Fire Nation capitol, and this war... will be over!
- Ming: Lunch time, General Iroh. And this time, I brought you an extra bowl of rice.
- Uncle Iroh: Thank you, Ming. Your little gestures of kindness have made my days in prison bearable. I think you should take the rest of the day off.
- Ming: What?
- Uncle Iroh: You don't look well. Maybe you should go home and rest.
- Ming: No, I feel fine.
- Uncle Iroh: Trust me, it is better that you are not here this afternoon.
