Quotes 

• Aang : I wasn't there when the Fire Nation attacked *my* people. I'm gonna make a difference this time.

• Princess Yue : [in a whisper]  Why is he sitting like that?

  Katara : [Also whispering]  He's meditating. Trying to cross over into the Spirit World. It takes all his concentration.

  Princess Yue : Is there any way we can help?

  Aang : How about some quiet?

  [Turning to look at them] 

  Aang : Come on, guys. I can hear every word you're saying!

• Aang : The spirits. Maybe I can find them and get their help.

  Princess Yue : How can you do that?

  Katara : The Avatar is the bridge between our world and the spirit world. Aang can talk to them.

  Princess Yue : Maybe they'll give you the wisdom to win this battle.

  Aang : Or maybe they'll unleash a crazy, amazing spirit attack on the Fire Nation...

  [silence] 

  Aang : ...Or wisdom. That's good too.

• Aang : I can't do it. I can't do it.

  Katara : What happened?

  Aang : I must have taken out a dozen Fire Navy ships, but there's just too many of them. I can't fight them all.

  Princess Yue : But, you have to. You're the Avatar.

  Aang : I'm just one kid.

• Aang : You know me?

  Koh : How could I forget *you*? One of your previous incarnations tried to slay me 800 or 900 years ago.

  Aang : I didn't know that. Why did he, or I, try to kill you?

  Koh : Oh, it was something about stealing the face of someone you loved.

• Aang : Zhao, don't.

  Admiral Zhao : It's my destiny to destroy the moon and the Water Tribe.

  Aang : Destroying the moon won't hurt *just* the Water Tribe. It will hurt everyone, including you. Without the moon, everything would fall out of balance. You have no idea what kind of chaos that would unleash on the world.

  Uncle Iroh : He is right, Zhao.

• Aang : I need to find the Moon and the Ocean.

  Koh : Their spirit names are Twee and La. Push and Pull. And that has been the nature of their relationship for all time.

  Aang : Please, help me find them. An entire culture could be destroyed if I don't get their help.

  Koh : Oh, you think you need their help? Actually, it's quite the other way around.

• Aang : [about the Ocean and Moon]  How can I find them and protect them?

  Koh : You've already met them, actually. Twee and La, your Moon and Ocean, have always circled each other in an eternal dance. They balance each other. Push and pull. Life and death. Good and evil. Yin and Yang.

  Aang : [Suddenly understanding with a burst insight, allowing his face to show emotion while Koh is looking away]  The koi fish.

  [Hearing the emotion in his voice, Koh quickly turns to steal Aang's face; but no luck, Aang becomes unemotional once more as Koh turns] 

  Aang : I must be going now.
