Katara : I've got it! I know how we're gonna see the Earth King!
Toph Beifong : How are we supposed to do that?
Toph Beifong : [Mimicking Joo Dee] One doesn't just pop in on the Earth King.
Katara : The King is having a party at the palace tonight for his pet bear.
Aang : You mean Platypus-Bear?
Sokka : Certainly you mean his pet Skunk-Bear.
Toph Beifong : Or his Armadillo-Bear.
Sokka : Certainly you mean his pet Skunk-Bear.
Aang : Gopher-Bear?
Katara : Just... Bear.
Toph Beifong : This place is weird.

Sokka : Why won't you let us talk to the King? We have information that could defeat the Fire Nation!
Long Feng : The Earth King has no time to get involved with political squabbles and the day to day minutia of military activities.
Aang : This could be the most important thing he has ever heard.
Long Feng : What's most important to his royal majesty is maintaining the cultural heritage of Ba Sing Se. All his duties relate to issuing decrees on such matters. It's my job to oversea the rest of the city's resources, including the military.
Katara : So the King is just a figurehead.
Toph Beifong : [Furious] He's your puppet!
Long Feng : Oh, no, no! His majesty is an icon, a god to his people. He can't sully his hands with the hourly change of an endless war.
Sokka : But we found out about a solar eclipse that will leave the Fire Nation defenseless. You could lead an invasion...
Long Feng : [Stands up suddenly, cutting Sokka off] Enough, I don't want to hear your ridiculous plan! It is the strict policy of Ba Sing Se that the war not be mentioned within the walls. Constant news of an escalating war will throw the citizens of Ba Sing Se into a state of panic. Our economy would be ruined. Our peaceful way of life, our traditions would disappear. In silencing talk of conflict, Ba Sing Se remains a peaceful, orderly utopia. The last one on Earth.
Katara : You can't keep the truth from all these people. They have to know.

[first lines]
Sokka : Look, the inner wall! I can't believe we finally made it to Ba Sing Se in one piece.
Toph Beifong : Hey, don't jinx it. We could still be attacked by some giant, exploding Fire Nation spoon, or find out the city's been submerged in an ocean full of killer shrimp.
Toph Beifong : You been hitting the cactus juice again?
Sokka : I'm just saying weird stuff happens to us.

Sokka : [about Joo Dee] Is that woman deaf? She only seems to hear every other word I say.
Toph Beifong : It's called being handled. Get used to it.
-
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.

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]
