• Joo Dee : This is the lower ring.

  Katara : What's that wall for?

  Joo Dee : Oh, Ba Sing Se has many walls. There are the ones outside protecting us, and the ones inside that help maintain order. This is where our newest arrivals live, as well as our craftsman and artisans, people that work with their hands. It's so quaint and lively.

  [Cut to a shot of two shady men conversing in an alley. One of them is holding a large sword that glistens in the light. Both glare at the carriage as it passes] 

  Joo Dee : You do want to watch your step, though.

  Katara : Why do they have all these poor people blocked off in one part of the city?

  Aang : This is why I never came here before. I always heard it was so different from the way the monks taught us to live.

• Joo Dee : More good news. Your request for an audience with the Earth King is being processed, and should be put through in a month. Much more quickly than usual.

  Sokka : A month?

  Joo Dee : Six to eight weeks actually.

• Joo Dee : This is the middle ring of Ba Sing Se, home to the financial district, shops and restaurants and the university.

  Sokka : Yeah, we met a Professor from Ba Sing Se University. He took us to an ancient underground library, where we discovered information about the war that is...

  [Speaking with emphasis] 

  Sokka : ...absolutely crucial for the King to hear!

  Joo Dee : [Cheerfully]  Isn't history fascinating? Look! Here's one of the oldest buildings in the middle ring, Town Hall.

  Long Feng : Now Joo Dee will show you home.

  Joo Dee : Come with me, please.

  Katara : What happened to Joo Dee?

  Joo Dee : I'm Joo Dee. I'll be your host as long as you're in our wonderful city.

• Joo Dee : Hello. My name is Joo Dee. I have been given the great honor of showing the Avatar around Ba Sing Se. And you must be Sokka, Katara, and Toph. Welcome to our wonderful city. Shall we get started?

  Sokka : Yes. We have information about the Fire Nation Army that we need to deliver to the Earth King immediately.

  Joo Dee : Great. Let's begin our tour, and then I'll show you to your new home here. I think you'll like it.

  [Joo Dee turns around and attempts to lead Aang and his friends] 

  Sokka : Augh! Maybe you missed what I said. We need to talk to the King about the war. It's important.

  Joo Dee : You're in Ba Sing Se now. Everyone is safe here.

  [Everyone has a confused look on their face in reaction to Joo Dee's odd statement]
