- Katara: Earthbenders! You don't know me, but I know of you. Every child in my Water Tribe Village was rocked to sleep with stories of the brave Earth Kingdom, and the courageous Earthbenders who guard its borders. Some of you may think that the Fire Nation has made you powerless. Yes, they have taken away your ability to Bend, but they can't take away your courage. And it is your courage they should truly fear, because it runs deeper than any mine you've been forced to dig, any ocean that keeps you far from home. It is the strength of your hearts that make you who you are. Hearts that will remain unbroken when all rocks and stone has eroded away. The time to fight back is now! I can tell you the Avatar has returned! So remember your courage, Earthbenders. Let us fight for our freedom!
- Firebender Soldier: [Pointing at Momo] That lemur! He's Earthbending!
- Sokka: No, you idiot! It's the girl!
- Firebender Soldier: [embarrassed] Oh, of course.
- Warden: You! Wake up the Captain! Search the entire rig!
- Firebender Soldier: Uh, sir?
- Warden: What?
- Firebender Soldier: That *was* the Captain you just threw overboard, so...
- Warden: Then wake up someone I *haven't* thrown overboard, and search the rig. There's something going on here and I don't like it.
- Katara: I understand that Haru can help you fight back. What can the Fire Nation do to you that they haven't done already?
- Haru's Mom: They can take Haru away, like they took his father.
- Warden: [laughing] Foolish girl. You thought a few inpsirational words and some coal would change these people? Look at these blank hopeless faces. Their spirits were broken a *long* time ago. Oh, but you still believe in them. How sweet. They're a waste of your energy, little girl. You failed!
