- Guru Pathik: The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation. Things you think are separate and different are actually one and the same.
- Aang: Like the four nations.
- Guru Pathik: Yes. We are all one people, but we live as if divided.
- Guru Pathik: You have indeed felt a great loss, but love is a form of energy, and it swirls all around us. The Air Nomads' love for you has not left this world. It is still inside of your heart, and is reborn in the form of new love. Let the pain flow away. Very good.
- Toph: [after locking Xin Fu & Master Yu in a steel container] I am the greatest Earthbender in the world. Don't you two dunderheads ever forget!
- Guru Pathik: In order to master the Avatar State, you must open all of the chakras. Aang, tell me everything you know about chakras.
- Aang: What are chakras?
- Guru Pathik: Oh, I see. I guess we'll start with the basics.
- [he turns to a murky pool where the creek water has gathered]
- Guru Pathik: The water flows through this creek much like the energy flows through your body.
- [stirs the pool with a stick]
- Guru Pathik: As you see, there are several pools where the water swirls around before flowing on. These pools are like our charkas.
- Aang: So chakras are pools of spiraling energy in our bodies?
- Aang: [after the guru has told him to let go of all attachments] What? Why would I let go of Katara? I... I-I love her.
- Guru Pathik: Learn to let her go or you cannot let the pure cosmic energy flow in from the universe.
- Aang: Why would I choose cosmic energy over Katara? How could it be a bad thing that I feel an attachment to her? Three chakras ago, that was a good thing.
- Guru Pathik: You must learn to let go.
- Guru Pathik: Be warned: opening the chakras is an intense experience. And once you begin this process, you cannot stop until all seven are open. Are you ready?
- Aang: I'll do whatever it takes.
- Mai: [Dressed as Kyoshi warriors] I'm tired of wearing this girlie disguise. I don't know how anyone can fight in this.
- Ty Lee: Maybe that's why it was so easy to beat the Kyoshi Warriors and take their clothes.
- [Dai Lee agents eavesdropping]
- Mai: How much longer do we have to serve the Earth King? If I have to clean up one more pile of bear poop, I'm going to throw up.
- Ty Lee: Princess Azula promised we would go back to the Fire Nation as soon as we captured the Avatar. We just have to be patient.
- Mai: [Anxious] Shush up. Do you want the whole palace to know we're Fire Nation?
- Ty Lee: Sorry.
- [the Dai Li retreat and Azula appears]
- Azula: Good work, girls.
- [Glances up toward the roof]
- Azula: I am sure the Dai Li will deliver the message.
- [first lines]
- Prince Zuko: What's that smell?
- Uncle: It's jook. I'm sure you wouldn't like it.
- Prince Zuko: [smells the jook] Actually, it smells delicious. I'd love a bowl, Uncle.
- Uncle: Now that your fever is gone, you seem different somehow.
- Prince Zuko: It's a new day. We've got a new apartment, new furniture, and today's the Grand Opening of your new tea shop. Things are looking up, Uncle.
- Aang: In your note, you said you could teach me to gain control of the Avatar State. How?
- Guru Pathik: You must gain balance within yourself before you can bring balance to the world.
- Guru Pathik: [after opening the third chakra] Hmm. That chakra opened less like a flowing creek and more like a... burping bison.
- Aang: [belches] Tastes like onions and bananas, but strangely, something else. Pickles?
- Guru Pathik: [shrugs] Mm-mmm.
- Bato: Your father invented Tangle Mines himself.
- Sokka: Destructive, buoyant, and...
- [takes a smell liquid inside]
- Sokka: ...terrible smelling.
- Hakoda: Very perceptive. The mines are filled with skunk fish and seaweed. When a ship detonates the mine, the seaweed tangles up the propeller, and the foul smell forces people to abandon the ship. I call it the 'Stink and sink.'
- Sokka: [laughing hysterically] Good one, Dad!
- Bato: [Rolls eyes] You are definitely your father's son.
- General How: General Fong's base will serve as the launching point for the attack. In exactly two months, the army and navy will invade the Fire Nation on the day of Black Sun.
- [Momo starts attacking some of the tokens]
- Katara: Or we could send in Momo to do some damage.
- Katara: [laughs] Cause the... Sorry.
- Xin Fu: [to Toph] Quit your banging! You might *think* you're the greatest Earthbender in the world, but even *you* can't Bend metal.
- Aang: Katara's in danger! I have to go!
- Guru Pathik: No, Aang. By choosing attachment, you have locked the chakra. If you leave now, you won't be able to go into the Avatar State at all.
- Earth King: It's been a difficult week for me. My most trusted advisor, Long Feng, and his Dai Li agents, tried to take control of Ba Sing Se from me.
- Azula: It's terrible when you can't trust the people who are closest to you.
- Guru Pathik: Third is the Fire chakra, located in the stomach.
- Aang: [Holding his stomach] My Fire chakra would like to eat something other than onion-banana juice.
- Guru Pathik: [Chuckling] Good one.
- Guru Pathik: [Serious] Moving on. This chakra deals with will power and is blocked by shame. What are you ashamed of? What are your biggest disappointments in yourself?
