- Huu: You think you're any different from me? Or your friends? Or this tree? If you listen hard enough, you can hear every living thing breathing together. You can feel everything growing. We're all living together, even if most folks don't act like it. We all have the same roots, and we are all branches of the same tree.
- Prince Zuko: [while panhandling] This is humiliating! We're royalty. These people should be giving us whatever we want.
- Uncle Iroh: They will - if you ask nicely.
- Sokka: Well, I hope you realize now that nothing strange was going on here. Just a bunch of greasy people living in a swamp.
- Katara: What about the visions?
- Sokka: I told you, we were hungry. I'm eating a giant bug.
- Aang: But what about when the tree showed me where Appa and Momo were?
- Katara: That's Avatar stuff, that doesn't count.
- Aang: Maybe we should be a little nicer to the swamp.
- Sokka: [Chopping through vines] Aang, these are just plants. Do you want me to say "please" and "thank you" as I swing my machete back and forth?
- Katara: Maybe you should listen to Aang. Something about this place feels... alive.
- Sokka: I'm sure there are a lot of things that are alive here. And if we don't want to wind up getting eaten by them, we need to find Appa as fast as we can.
- Sokka: Yue? This is just a trick of the light. Swamp gas. I hit my head running away last night. I'm going crazy.
- Princess Yue: You didn't protect me.
- [Zuko and Iroh are reduced to begging]
- Broadswordsman: How about some entertainment in exchange for... a *gold* piece?
- Prince Zuko: We're not performers.
- Uncle Iroh: Not professional, anyway.
- Uncle Iroh: [sings] It's a long, long way/ to Ba Sing Se/ But the girls in the city/ they look so pretty.
- Broadswordsman: Come on, we're talking a gold piece here. Let's see some action. Dance!
- [swings his swords at Iroh's legs]
- Uncle Iroh: [singing] They kiss so sweet/ that you've really got to meet/ the girls from Ba Sing Se.
- Broadswordsman: [laughing] Nothing like a fat man dancing for his dinner. Here you go.
- Uncle Iroh: [smiling] Such a kind man.
- Huu: In the swamp we see visions of people we've lost. People we loved. Folks we think are gone. But the swamp tells us they're not. We're still connected to them. Time is an illusion. And so is death.
- [last lines]
- Broadswordsman: [hearing a noise behind him] Who's there?
- [Zuko, as the Blue Spiri, attacks, knocks him out and takes his broadswords]
