Ty Lee : Calm down, you guys. This much negative energy is bad for your skin. You'll totally break out.
Prince Zuko : Bad skin? Normal teenagers worry about bad skin. I don't have that luxury. My father decided to teach me a permanent lesson on my face.
Ty Lee : Sorry, Zuko. I...
Prince Zuko : For so long I thought that if my Dad accepted me, I'd be happy. I'm back home now. My Dad talks to me. Ha! He even thinks I'm a hero. Everything should be perfect, right? I should be happy now, but I'm not! I'm angrier than ever and I don't know why!
Azula : There's a simple question you need to answer then. Who are you angry at?
Prince Zuko : No one. I'm just angry.
Mai : Yeah, who are you angry at, Zuko?
Prince Zuko : Everyone. I don't know.
Azula : Is it Dad?
Prince Zuko : No, no.
Ty Lee : Your uncle?
Azula : Me?
Prince Zuko : No, no, no, no!
Mai : Then who? Who are you angry at?
Azula : Answer the question, Zuko.
Ty Lee : Talk to us.
Mai : Come on. Answer the question.
Azula : Come on, answer it.
Prince Zuko : I'm angry at myself!
Azula : Why?
Prince Zuko : Because I'm confused. Because I'm not sure I know the difference between right and wrong anymore.

Prince Zuko : [Finds a seashell on the beach] Here...
[tries to give shell to Mai]
Prince Zuko : This is for you.
Mai : Why would I want that?
Prince Zuko : I saw it, and I thought it was pretty. Don't girls like stuff like this?
Mai : Maybe stupid girls.
Prince Zuko : [Angrily throws the shell away] Forget it!
Ty Lee : [the shell is picked up by a teen boy who gives it to Ty Lee. She happily accepts it] Wow! Thanks. This is so pretty.

[Zuko throws a family painting into the fire]
Ty Lee : What are you doing?
Prince Zuko : What does it look like I'm doing?
Ty Lee : But it's a painting of your family.
Prince Zuko : You think I care?
Ty Lee : I think you do.
Prince Zuko : You don't know me! So why don't you just mind your own business?
Ty Lee : I know you.
Prince Zuko : No, you don't. You're stuck in your little Ty Lee world where everything's great all the time.
Mai : Zuko, leave her alone
Prince Zuko : 'I'm so pretty. Look at me. I can walk on my hands. Whoo!' Circus freak.
-
Ty Lee : Yes, I'm a circus freak. Go ahead and laugh all you want. You want to know why I joined the circus?
Azula : Here we go.
Ty Lee : Do you have any idea what my home life was like? Growing up with six sisters who looked *exactly* like me? It was like I didn't even have my own name. I joined the circus because I was scared of spending the rest of my life as part of a matched set. At least I'm different now. Circus freak is a compliment!
Mai : I guess that explains why you need ten boyfriends, too.
Ty Lee : I'm sorry, what?
Mai : Attention issues. You couldn't get enough attention when you were a kid, so you're trying to make up for it now.
-
Ty Lee : You were jealous of me? But you're the most beautiful, smartest, perfect girl in the world.
Azula : Well, you're right about all those things. But for some reason when I meet boys, they act as if I'm going to do something horrible to them.
Ty Lee : [Ty Lee chuckles] But you probably would do something horrible to them. I'm sure they're just intimidated by you. Okay, look, if you want a boy to like you, just look at him and smile a lot and laugh at everything he says, even if it's not funny.
Azula : Well, that sounds really shallow and stupid.
Ty Lee : [Looks up grinning] Let's try it.
Ty Lee : [in a deep voice, pretending to be a guy] Hey there, sweet sugarcakes. How ya likin' this party?
[Azula laughs maniacally, all the party noises stop, and everyone stares at them]
-
Ty Lee : Well, what's *your* excuse, Mai? You were an only child for 15 years, but even with *all* that attention, your aura is this dingy, pasty, gray...
Mai : [Interrupting] I don't believe in auras.
Prince Zuko : Yeah, you don't believe in anything.
Mai : Oh, well, I'm sorry I can't be as high-strung and crazy as the rest of you.
