• Ying : Look at this writing. How awful.

  Toph Beifong : What does it say?

  Katara : It says 'Abandon Hope.'

  Ying : How can we abandon hope? That's all we have.

  Aang : I don't know. The monks used to say that hope is just a distraction. So maybe we do need to abandon it.

  Katara : What are you talking about?

  Aang : Hope isn't going to get us into Ba Sing Se, and it's not going to find Appa. We need to focus on what we're doing right now, and that's getting across this pass.

• Sokka : There's the wall!

  [Points toward a vast wall that fills the distant horizon] 

  Sokka : Now it's nothing but smooth sailing to Ba Sing Se.

  Ying : [Gasps]  Oh, no!

  [doubles over, clutching her belly] 

  Sokka : [Apprehensively]  What's wrong?

  Ying : The baby's coming.

  Sokka : [In rising panic]  What? Now? Can't you hold it in or something?

  Katara : Sokka, calm down. I helped Gran Gran deliver lots of babies back home.

  Sokka : [Completely panicking]  This isn't the same as delivering an arctic seal! This is a real... human... thing!

  Katara : It's called a baby. And I helped to deliver plenty of those, too.

• Ying : I want our daughter's name to be unique. I want it to mean something.

  Aang : I've been going through a really hard time lately, but you've made me... hopeful again.

  Ying : I know what I want to name our baby now. Hope.

• Katara : Great. We can travel through the Serpent's Pass together.

  Ying : The Serpent's Pass? Only the truly *desperate* take that deadly route.

  Toph Beifong : Deadly route. Great pick, Sokka.

  Sokka : Well, we are desperate.
