[grunting]
[laughing]
Azula!
Watch this.
Mom.
Can you make Zuko play with us?
We need equal teams to play a game.
I am not cartwheeling.
You won't have to. Cart willing is not a game.
- Dumb-dumb. - I don't care!
I don't want to play with you.
We are brother and sister.
It's important for us to spend time together.
Don't you think so, Mom?
Yes, darling.
I think it's a good idea to play with your sister.
Go on now, just for a little while.
Here's the way it goes. Now, what you do is,
try to knock the apple off the other person's head, like this.
[screaming]
[grunting]
See? I told you it would work.
Awe. They're so cute together.
You two are such... ugh!
When tracking your brother and uncle,
traveling with the royal procession
may no longer be an option.
May no longer be wise
if you hope to keep the element of surprise.
You're right. The royal procession is dead weight.
If I want to catch my prey, I must be agile, nimble.
I need a small elite team.
It's time to visit some old friends.
Ty Lee, could that possibly be you?
Azula!
It is so good to see you!
Please don't let me interrupt your
whatever it is you were doing.
Tell me, what is the daughter of a nobleman doing here?
Certainly, our parents didn't send us
to the Royal Fire Academy For Girls
to end up in... places like this.
I have a proposition for you.
I'm hunting a traitor.
You remember my old fuddy duddy uncle, don't you?
Oh, yeah. He was so funny.
I would be honored if you would join me on my mission.
Oh, I... uh, would love to.
But the truth is, I'm really happy here.
I mean, my aura has never been pinker.
I'll take your word for it.
Well, I wouldn't want you
to give up the life you love just to please me.
Thank you, Azula.
Of course, before I leave, I'm going to catch your show.
[gasping]
Uh, yeah, sure.
Of course.
We're deeply honored to have the Fire Lord's daughter
at our humble circus.
Tell us if there's anything we can do
to make the show more enjoyable.
I will.
Incredible.
Do you think she'll fall?
Of course not.
Then wouldn't it make it more interesting
if you remove the net?
Uh, the thing is, the performers...
You're right. You're right.
That's been done.
I know.
Set the net on fire.
Of course, Princess,
Brilliant. Just brilliant!
Ooh! What kind of dangerous animals do you have?
Well, our circus boasts the most exotic assortment...
Release them all!
What an exquisite performance.
I can't wait to see how you'll top yourself tomorrow.
I'm sorry, Azula, but unfortunately,
there won't be a show tomorrow.
Really?
The universe is giving me strong hints
that it's time for a career change.
I wanna join you on your mission.
Please tell me you're here to kill me.
[laughing]
It's great to see you, Mai.
I thought you ran off and joined the circus.
You said it was your calling.
Well, Azula called a little louder.
I have a mission and I need you both.
Count me in.
Anything to get me out of this place.
I apologize.
You've come to Amashu at a difficult time.
At noon,
we're making a trade with the resistance to get Tom-Tom back.
Yes. I'm so sorry to hear about your son,
but really, what did you expect
by just letting all the citizens leave?
My father has trusted you with this city,
and you're making a mess of things.
Forgive me, Princess.
You stay here.
Mai will handle the hostage trade
so you don't have a chance to mess it up.
And there is no more Amashu.
I am renaming it in honor of my father, the City of New Ozai.
[growling]
What do you want with us?
Who are you? The Avatar's fan girls?
Oh! I get it.
Good one, Azula.
If you're looking for the Avatar, you're out of luck.
[sighing]
I knew this was a waste of time.
No Avatar, huh?
Well, that's okay.
Any friend of the Avatar is an enemy of mine!
[grunting]
Huh?
You're so colorful, it's making nauseous!
[grunting]
You're not prettier than we are.
[growling]
Afraid of fire, I see.
That's good. You should be.
Go Appa! Fly away from here!
[grunting]
[growling]
Get out of here! You have to find Aang!
We'll be okay!
[growling]
[grunting]
Don't you know fans just make flames stronger?
In our hour of need,
it is with the highest honor, that I welcome
our esteemed allies, the Kyoshi Warriors.
We are the Earth King's humble servants.
Thank goodness we're in time!
In time for what?
Yeah. What are you in time for...
cutie?
Uh, I'm kinda involved with Suki.
Who?
[grunting]
They're not the real Kyoshi Warriors!
[gasping]
Sorry to disappoint you.
[grunting]
[laughing]
[gasping]
Looks like we're dancing together.
This fight is over.
[grunting]
Get them all out of my sight.
[groaning]
Now comes the part where I double cross you.
Dai Li, arrest the Fire Nation Princess.
I said arrest her!
What is wrong with you?
It's because they haven't made up their minds.
They're waiting to see how this is going to end.
What are you talking about?
I can see your whole history in your eyes.
You were born with nothing.
So, you've had to struggle and connive...
and claw your way to power.
But true power...
the divine right to rule, is something you're born with.
The fact is, they don't know which one of us is going to be
sitting on that throne and which one is going to be bowing down.
But I know
and you know.
Well?
You've beaten me at my own game.
Don't flatter yourself.
You were never even a player.
See that girl with the silly pigtails?
When she runs toward the ball,
there's just the slightest hesitation of her left foot.
I'm willing to bet a childhood injury has weakened her.
Keep serving the ball to a left and we'll destroy her and
the rest of her team. Dismissed.
Yes!
We've defeated you for all time!
You will never rise from the ashes
of your shame and humiliation!
[sighing]
That was fun.
What are you doing?
What does it look like I'm doing?
But... it's a painting of your family.
You think I care?
I think you do.
You don't know me! So, why don't you just mind your own business?
I know you.
No you don't!
You're stuck in your little Ty Lee world,
where everything's great all the time!
Zuko, leave her alone.
I'm so pretty. Look at me.
I can walk on my hands.
Woo!
Circus freak!
[laughing]
Yes, I'm a circus freak.
Go ahead and laugh all you want.
You wanna know why I joined the circus?
Here we go.
Do you have any idea what my home life was like?
Growing up with six sisters who look 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!
Guess that explains why you need ten boyfriends, too.
I'm sorry. What?
Attention issues?
You couldn't get enough attention when you were a kid.
So, you're trying to make up for it now.
Well, what's your excuse, Mai?
You we're an only child for 15 years.
But even with all of that attention, your aura
is this dingy, pasty gray...
I don't believe in auras.
Yeah.
You don't believe in anything.
Oh, well, I'm sorry,
I can't be as high strung and crazy as the rest of you.
I'm sorry, too.
I wish you would be high strung and crazy for once!
Instead of keeping all your feelings bottled up inside!
She just called your aura dingy!
Are you gonna take that?
What do you want from me?
You want a teary confession about how hard my childhood was?
Well, it wasn't.
I was a rich only child who got anything I wanted.
As long as I behaved...
and sat still...
and didn't speak unless spoken to.
My mother said I had to keep out of trouble.
We had my dad's political career to think about.
Well, that's it, then.
You had a controlling mother who had certain expectations,
and if you strayed from them, you were shut down.
That's why you're afraid to care about anything
and why you can't express yourself.
You want me to express myself?
Leave me alone!
I like it when you express yourself.
Don't touch me!
I'm still mad at you!
I don't have sob stories like all of you.
I could sit here and complain
how our mom liked Zuko more than me,
but I don't really care.
My own mother thought I was a monster.
She was right, of course, but it still hurt.
What Lo and Li said came true.
The beach did help us learn about ourselves.
I feel all smoothed.
I'll always remember this.
Wait!
Who's that?
That's a problem.
It's my sister and her friend!
This is a rematch I've been waiting for.
Me too.
[grunting]
There's the warden! I see him!
Cut the line!
He wants us to cut the line.
But if we cut the line, there's no way he'll survive.
He knows that.
[grunting]
[groaning]
[grunting]
[groaning]
They're about to cut the line!
Then it's time to leave.
Goodbye Zuko.
They're cutting the line!
The gondola's about to go!
I hope this thing floats.
[grunting]
What are you doing?
Saving the jerk who dumped me.
[grunting]
Whoa!
[grunting]
Who's that?
It's Mai.
What is she doing?
[mumbling]
Leave us alone.
I never expected this from you.
The thing I don't understand is why.
Why would you do it?
You know the consequences.
I guess you just
don't know people as well as you think you do.
You miscalculated.
I love Zuko more than I fear you.
No, you miscalculated!
You should've feared me more!
[grunting]
[gasping]
[grunting]
Come on! Let's get outta here!
You both fools!
What shall we do with them, Princess?
Put them somewhere I'll never have to see
their faces again and let them rot!
