- Uncle Iroh: Zuko, remember that plant that I thought might be tea?
- Prince Zuko: You didn't.
- Uncle Iroh: I did...
- [turns revealing his red, swollen face]
- Uncle Iroh: ...and it wasn't.
- Prince Zuko: Yah!
- Uncle Iroh: When the rash spreads to my throat, I will stop breathing. But look what I found!
- [holds up a branch of berries]
- Uncle Iroh: These are pakui berries, known to cure the poison of the white jade plant. That, or makaola berries that cause blindness.
- Prince Zuko: We're not taking any more chances with these plants. We need to get help.
- Uncle Iroh: But where are we going to go? We're enemies of the Earth Kingdom and fugitives from the Fire Nation.
- Prince Zuko: If the Earth Kingdom discovers us, they'll have us killed.
- Uncle Iroh: If the Fire Nation discovers us, we'll be turned over to Azula.
- Prince Zuko: [both share a glance] Earth Kingdom it is.
- Chong: [singing] Two lovers forbidden from one another, a war divides their people and a mountain divides them apart. Built a path to be together...
- [Stops and says normally]
- Chong: Yeah, I forget the next couple of lines, but, uh, then it goes...
- [sings enthusiastically as everyone else dances]
- Chong: Secret tunnel, Secret tunnel. Through the mountain. Secret, secret, secret, secret tunnel! Yeah!
- Katara: s kissing? What was I thinking. Could you imagine that?
- Aang: Yeah.
- [Aang chuckles slightly]
- Aang: I definitely wouldn't want to kiss you.
- Katara: Oh, well, I didn't realize it was such a horrible option. Sorry I suggested it.
- Aang: No, no, I mean if it was a choice between kissing you and dying...
- Katara: Oh!
- Aang: What? I'm saying I'd rather kiss you than die. That's a compliment.
- Katara: Well, I'm not sure which I would rather do!
- [Katara storms off]
- Aang: What is wrong with me?
- Chong: [to Sokka after a cave in] Yeah, it's no use. We're separated. But at least you have us.
- [Sokka screams and digs faster]
- Katara: I was thinking. The curse says we'll be trapped in here forever unless we trust in love.
- Aang: Right.
- Katara: And here it says "Love is brightest in the dark" and has a picture of them kissing.
- Aang: Where are you going with this?
- Katara: [Blushing] Well, what if we kissed?
- Aang: Us kissing?
- Katara: See, it was a crazy idea.
- Aang: Us... kissing.
- Prince Zuko: We're not taking any more chances with these plants. We need to get help!
- Uncle Iroh: But where are we going to go? We're enemies of the Earth Kingdom, and fugitives from the Fire Nation.
- Prince Zuko: If the Earth Kingdom discovers us, they'll have us killed.
- Uncle Iroh: If the Fire Nation discovers us, we'll be turned over to Azula.
- Prince Zuko: [both share a glance] ... Earth Kingdom it is!
- Song: Do you have names?
- Prince Zuko: Names? Of course we have names. I'm... Lee. And this is my uncle... uh... Mushi.
- [Iroh glares at him, then smiles]
- Uncle Iroh: Yes, my nephew was named after his father so we just call him Junior.
- Sokka: Look, I hate to be the wet blanket here, but since Katara's busy, I guess it's up to me. We need to get to Omashu. No sidetracks, no worms, and definitely no rainbows.
- Chong: Whoa. Sounds like someone's got a case of destination fever. Heh. You worry too much about where you're going.
- Lily: You gotta focus less on the where and more on the going.
- Sokka: [Emphatically] O-Ma-Shu.
- Katara: [Reading the story of the two lovers engraved on their tomb] They met on top of the mountain that divided their two villages. The villages were enemies so they could not be together. But their love was strong and they found a way. The two lovers learned Earthbending from the badgermoles. They became the first Earthbenders. They built elaborate tunnels so they could meet secretly. Anyone who tried to follow them would be lost forever in the labyrinth. But one day the man didn't come. He died in the war between their two villages. Devastated, the woman unleashed a terrible display of her Earthbending power. She could have destroyed them all, but instead, she declared the war over. Both villages helped her build a new city where they would live together in peace. The woman's name was Oma and the man's name was Shu. The great city was named Omashu as a monument to their love.
- Uncle Iroh: You're looking at the rare white dragon bush. Its leaves make a tea so delicious, it's heartbreaking. That, or it's the white jade bush, which is poisonous.
- Prince Zuko: We need food, not tea. I'm going fishing.
- [exits]
- Uncle Iroh: Hmm... Delectable tea or deadly poison.
- Fire nation commander: [Approaching the secret love cave] Hold on! It's too dangerous. Haven't you heard the song? Just close them in. The mountain will take care of the rest.
- Sokka: Chong, how long do those torches last?
- Chong: Chong, how long do those torches last?
- Lily: And we have five torches, so that's...
- [she takes the other four torches she is holding a strikes then on the ground like matches, lighting them instantly]
- Lily: ...ten hours.
- Sokka: [while grabbing and stomping out the torches she lit] It doesn't work like that if they're all lit at the same time.
- Sokka: How far are we from the tunnel?
- Chong: Actually, it's not just one tunnel. The lovers didn't want anyone to find out about their love, so they built a whole labyrinth.
- Sokka: Labyrinth?
- Chong: I'm sure we'll figure it out.
- Lily: All you need to do is trust in love... according to the curse.
- Sokka: [frustrated yell] Curse?
- Uncle Iroh: Thank you for the duck. It was excellent.
- Mom: You're welcome. It brings me joy to see someone eat my cooking with such... gusto.
- Moku: Oh, great, your plans have led us to another dead end.
- Sokka: [Defensively] At least I'm thinking of ideas and trying to get us out of here, Moku.
- Chong: Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. We're thinking of ideas? 'Cause I've had an idea for, like, an hour now.
- Sokka: [Explodes] Yes! We're all thinking of ideas!
- Chong: Well, then listen to this. If love is the key out of here, then all we need to do is play a love song.
- [Sokka smacks his forehead]
