80+ Best Avatar: The Last Airbender Quotes from the Netflix Series

Sokka: So, anyone else hungry?

Katara: Why is everything always about your stomach?

Aang: Because that's where his brain is.

Sokka: Oh, says the kid with the melon head.

Katara: Ooh, I could go for a melon.

Sokka: See? Food is always the right answer. Just gotta listen to Sokka.

Sokka (about Yue): I'm sorry I couldn't protect her.

Arnook: My daughter always made her own choices. And that was not something you or anyone could have stopped.

Sokka: She sacrificed herself for all of us. Me... I watched it happen. I stood on the sidelines while others fought and died, being the warrior I could never be.

Arnook: Sokka, in a moment when she must have been scared, you made sure she wasn't alone. You don't have to be a warrior to be a hero.

Yue (to Sokka): Do you know why the ocean and moon spirits take physical form for a night? It's because they wanna know what it is to be mortal. It's worth the risk to be alive. Even for just one night. Especially for one night.

Zuko: You ruined everything! The Avatar was mine. My mission was...

Zhao: Your mission was a sham. Did you really think the Fire Lord was gonna take you back? Ozai was playing with you. It was all a game. And the winner is the one without the scar from Daddy. Ozai was just using you as motivation for your sister.

Zuko: You lie. You're lying! Admit it, you're lying!

Zhao: Who do you think was my ally... through all this? Who convinced the Fire Lord to send me the Yuyan archers? Who identified the Blue Spirit's swords as yours? Azula told me everything I needed to know. You are the fire in which her iron was forged. That's all you were.

Pakku: I thought I made myself clear. Women are not allowed in combat.

Katara: I thought I showed you how stupid that is. Forget your pride. This is about the survival of the Waterbenders, and you need all the help you can get. You know we can make a difference.

Pakku: "We"? (Looks down to see women ready to join the fight)

Katara: All they want is what you want. A chance to defend their home.

Yagoda: Pakku, what good is it relying on the past when it stops us from having a future? Get... get over yourself, you old fool, and let us get the job done!

Katara: You said you're afraid of losing us, and that's why we can't stay by your side, but it's my decision to fight, not Pakku's and not yours.

Sokka: Yeah. Do you think we came here just to leave you on your own? Silly Avatar.

Aang: I don't know if I can protect you.

Katara: You can't.

Sokka: Yeah, and worrying about who will or won't get hurt, it's not just the Avatar who has to deal with that.

Katara: That's what it means to be a family.

Aang: Kuruk, Roku, Kyoshi. They all said that I need to do this by myself. The Avatar must bear the burden alone.

Katara: This is the past. Now, only one person can tell you the future. The person who'll write The Legend of Aang.

Sokka: She means you. You got that, right?

Katara: I'm gonna challenge Pakku to fight. I know. He's a master. He's probably gonna mop the floor with me, but it doesn't matter. All my life, I've held myself back, and I'm not gonna let someone else do it to me now.

Sokka: Katara. Remember at the Southern Air Temple when you said we had to go with Aang? That we had to help him save the world? You were right. If we hadn't gone with him, I wouldn't have seen how two kids from the Southern Water Tribe can measure up to anyone. Firebenders, Earthbenders, spirit creatures, even strapping, young Northern Water Tribe Warriors...

Katara: Sokka, if you're trying to talk sense into me, you're not doing a very good job.

Sokka: Sense? Who's talking sense? No, what I'm trying to tell you is... go kick his a$$.

Sokka: I need to know something. Why did you turn down Hahn?

Yue: Hahn is wonderful. He is everything that a girl could want. But he is not the boy of my dreams. (kisses Sokka)

(Yue asks about what Sokka saw in Spirit World...)

Sokka: It was something that happened when I was a kid. I overheard my dad saying he was disappointed in me. That I wasn't cut out to be a warrior. That he didn't believe in me.

Yue: Do you know what I remember about you from the Spirit World? You were worried about your friends. You knew they were in trouble, and you had to help them. Your heart. That's what sets you apart. That's what makes you a warrior. I have a feeling if your father saw you now, he would agree.

Katara: When do we get to fight training?

Yagoda: Excuse me?

Katara: I think my basic forms are pretty good, but I could use help with accuracy and increasing power.

Yagoda: I'm sorry, but women don't fight. We use our skills to heal, not to harm.

Katara: I don't want to just heal.

Yagoda: Healing is a noble and sacred tradition. The highest of callings.

Katara: No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. It's just that... I think my skills lie more in combat. So if it's okay, I'd like to train in fighting techniques.

Yagoda: In the Northern Water Tribe, women aren't allowed to fight.

Katara: Aren't allowed? That's not right.

Yagoda: But that is our way.

Sokka: You are just a girl.

Yue: Did you think I wasn't a girl?

Sokka: No, no, no. I just figured with you being a princess and all...

Yue: That I was stuck up?

Sokka: Yeah. I mean, no. I mean, yeah, that's what I thought, but, no, you're ordinary. Not ordinary, because that wouldn't be good, and I think I should stop saying words now.

Pakku: The Fire Nation's attacks took so much from you. From all of us.

Katara: The worst part was I... I couldn't do anything about it.

Pakku: What's important is you survived. That is what we do. Water is the element of change. And we Waterbenders have always adapted to the flow of life.

Iroh (narration): It's amazing how far we'll go to hide our true selves from the world. Perhaps it's because we don't want people to know how much they really mean to us which is funny because the truth is, we would do anything for them. We'd travel incredible distances. Risk our lives. Even fight monsters. But I suppose it can be scary to admit you need people. Some might see that as a weakness, a liability. After all, what greater pain is there than losing someone you love? Or worse finding out someone you love has left you behind. I guess that's why we feel the need to hide away and protect ourselves. So we put on a mask. It's not hard to understand why. What's hard is knowing that sometimes... the mask is who you really are.

(Iroh explained to the crew that by being assigned on Prince Zuko's mission, they've been saved from certain death in a battle. Zuko speak up for them and got punished for it by his father...)

Iroh: I'm not going to ask you where you went, but in the future, nephew, I would appreciate it if you let me know whether or not you're still alive. There actually are a few of us who care about... about such things.

Lieutenant Jee: Attention! Our prince... has returned.

(Zuko soldiers welcome him with respect...)

Zuko: What's going on?

Iroh: They must've missed you at music night.
