- Bolin: I'm just not sure how my earthbending would translate to your waterbending, but we'll figure it out.
- Korra: Won't be a problem. I'm actually an earthbender.
- Bolin: I'm sorry, no, no! I didn't mean to assume! It's that, I was just figuring with your water tribe getup that you are a water tribe... gal.
- Korra: No, you're right. I'm a waterbender. And a fire bender .
- Bolin: Mmmm hmm... I'm very confused right now.
- Mako: You're the Avatar and I'm an idiot
- Korra: Both are true.
- Bolin: No way.
- [in a whisper, pointing]
- Bolin: The Avatar!
- Korra: What is that contraption?
- Tenzin: A time-honored tool that teaches the most fundamental aspect of airbending. Jinora, would you like to explain this exercise?
- Jinora: The goal is to weave your way through the gates and make it to the other side without touching them.
- Korra: Seems easy enough.
- Ikki: Jinora forgot to say that you have to get through while the gates are spinning.
- Tenzin: I have tried my very best to get through to you by being gentle and patient, but clearly the only thing you respond to is force! So I am ordering you to come back to the temple right now!
- Korra: Why? So I can sit around and meditate about how bad I am at airbending? You know, I'm beginning to think there's a reason I haven't been able to learn it! Because, maybe, I don't even need it!
- Tenzin: What? That is a ludicrous suggestion! The Avatar needs to learn airbending! It's not optional!
- Korra: No! This is what I need to learn! Modern styles of fighting!
- Tenzin: Being the Avatar isn't all about fighting, Korra! When will you learn that?
- Korra: I have a match to go finish.
- Korra: I'll see you tomorrow for airbending practice, bright and early! And, by the way, I kinda permanently joined the Fire Ferrets and we're playing in the tournament in a couple of weeks!
- Tenzin: Airbending is all about spiral movements. When you meet resistance, you must be able to switch direction at a moment's notice.
