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.
