Book 1: Air
Welcome to Republic City
Korra: I'm the Avatar. You gotta deal with it!
Katara: She's strong.
White Lotus Leader: She lacks restraint.
Meelo: Unhand me, strange woman!
Pema: All I want is one child like me, a nice non-bender, who doesn't blast wind in my face every five seconds.
Tenzin: Don't bring my mother into this!
A Leaf in the Wind
Ikki: Dance! Dance like the wind!
Meelo: Be the leaf!
Bolin: So, what'd ya think, Korra? Bolin's got some moves, huh?
Bolin: No. Way. The Avatar!
Mako: You're the Avatar. And I'm an idiot.
The Revelation
Korra: The morning is evil.
Mako: Your best friend is a polar bear dog. Somehow, that makes perfect sense.
Korra: Mako, we are going to save your brother. I promise you that.
Doorman: What are you doing back here?
Korra: Uh...looking for the bathroom?
Bolin: Uh, hello. Amon, sir. I think there's been a big misunderstanding.
Amon: Let her go. She's the perfect messenger to tell the city of my power.
The Voice in the Night
Ikki: Why do you have three ponytails? And how come you smell like a lady? You're weird.
Tarrlok: Well aren't you...precocious?
Mako: The scarf stays.
Hiroshi Sato: So, I understand you're dirt poor.
Amon: I received your invitation, young Avatar.
Amon: Our showdown, while inevitable, is premature. Although it would be the simplest thing for me to take away your bending right now, I won't. You'd only become a martyr. Benders of every nation would rally behind your untimely demise, but I assure you, I have a plan. And I'm saving you for last, then you'll get your duel, and I will destroy you.
The Spirit of Competition
Bolin: Bro, you're nuts! Korra and I are perfect for each other: she's strong, I'm strong; she's fun, I'm fun; she's beautiful, I'm gorgeous!
Bolin: So, Korra, I was thinking, you and me, we could get some dinner together, sort of a date situation.
Korra: No, that's really sweet, but I don't think so. I don't feel very date-worthy.
Bolin: Are you kidding me? You're the smartest, funniest, toughest, buffest, talentedest, incrediblest girl in the world!
Tahno: You know, if you'd like to learn how a real pro bends, I could give you some private lessons.
Korra: You wanna go toe-to-toe with me, pretty boy?
Tahno: Go for it.
Mako: Guess we'll have to do this the hard way.
Mako: I told you dating a teammate was a bad idea.
Bolin: You're a bad idea!
Shiro Shinobi: And Bolin loses his noodles! Literally. Which reminds me, this match is brought to you by our sponsor, Flameo Instant Noodles! Noodliest noodles in the United Republic.
Shiro Shinobi: And Bolin keeps playing with one good arm! I gotta hand it to him, this kid's got grit! But how long can he keep it up? Apparently, not very long.
Bolin: Owww! Gah! Haven't you hurt me enough, woman?!
Jinora: Ooh! I just read a historical saga where the heroine fell in love with the enemy general's son, who was supposed to marry the princess. You should do what she did!
Korra: Tell me!
Jinora: She rode a dragon into battle and burned down the entire country. Then she jumped into a volcano. It was so romantic.
And the Winner is...
Shiro Shinobi: Folks, there is some sort of electrical disturbance in the stands. Metalbender cops are dropping like bumble-flies. There appear to be masked members of the audience wielding strange devices on their hands. One of them is in the booth with me right now, folks. He is leveling one of those glove devices at me now, and I believe he is about to electrocute me. I am currently wetting my pants.
Amon: I believe I have your attention, benders of Republic City. So once again, the Wolfbats are your probending champions. It seems fitting that you celebrate 3 bullies who cheated their way to victory - because every day you threaten and abuse your fellow non-bending citizens, just like the Wolfbats did to their opponents tonight. Those men were supposedly the best in the bending world, and yet it only took a few moments for me to cleanse them of their impurity. Let this be warning to all of you benders out there: if any of you stand in my way, you will meet the same fate.
Now, to my followers, for years the Equalists have been forced to hide in the shadows. But now, we have the numbers and the strength to create a new Republic City! I’m happy to tell you that the time for change has finally come. Very soon, the current tyrannical bending regime will be replaced by a fair-minded Equalist government. You and your children will no longer have to walk the streets afraid! It’s time to take back our city.
For centuries, benders have possessed an unnatural advantage over ordinary people. But thankfully, modern technology has provided us with an opportunity to even out the playing field. Now, anyone can hold the power of a chi-blocker in their hand. My followers and I will not rest until the entire city achieves equality. And once that goal is achieved, we will equalize the rest of the world! The Revolution has begun!
When Extremes Meet
Unnamed Non-Bender: Please help us. You're our Avatar too.
Tarrlok: Isn't that what you came here to do? Intimidate me into releasing your friends? See, that's what I admire about you, Korra. Your willingness to go to extremes in order to get what you want. It is a quality we both share.
Out of the Past
Tarrlok: What are you?
Amon: I am the solution.
