1. Earth.Copy !req
2. Fire.Copy !req
3. Air.Copy !req
4. Water.Copy !req
5. Only the Avatar can master
all four elementsCopy !req
6. and bring balance to the world.Copy !req
7. Republic City welcomes
a new citizen into her arms.Copy !req
8. Avatar Korra!Copy !req
9. After years of seclusion in the South,
this master of water, earth and fireCopy !req
10. seeks to add airbending
to her list of skills.Copy !req
11. And under the tutelage of Tenzin,
Avatar Aang's son, she should go far.Copy !req
12. But will this cool, calm,
collected master of airCopy !req
13. be able to tame this hot-headed teen?Copy !req
14. "And in the final round,"Copy !req
15. "the Buzzard Wasps won,"Copy !req
16. "with a decisive knockout."Copy !req
17. What do you say
we go to the arena tonight?Copy !req
18. Catch a few Pro-bending matches?Copy !req
19. That "sport" is a mockery of
the noble tradition of bending.Copy !req
20. Come on, Tenzin.Copy !req
21. I've dreamed about seeing
a Pro-bending match since I was a kid,Copy !req
22. and now I'm just a ferry ride away
from the arena.Copy !req
23. Korra, you're not here
to watch that drivel.Copy !req
24. You're here to finish your Avatar training.Copy !req
25. So, for the time being,
I want you to remain on the island.Copy !req
26. Is that why you're keeping
the White Lotus sentries around,Copy !req
27. - to watch my every move?
- Yes.Copy !req
28. In order to learn airbending, I believe
you require a calm, quiet environment,Copy !req
29. free from any distractions.Copy !req
30. All right, you're the master.Copy !req
31. So my mother informed me that you've
never been able to airbend before.Copy !req
32. Yeah, but I don't know why.Copy !req
33. The other elements came
so easily to me.Copy !req
34. But every single time
I've tried airbending...Copy !req
35. Nothing.Copy !req
36. That's perfectly all right,
we just need to be patient.Copy !req
37. Often, the element that's the most
difficult for the Avatar to masterCopy !req
38. is the one most opposite
to the Avatar's personality.Copy !req
39. For Aang, it was earthbending.Copy !req
40. Yeah, well, I'm about as opposite
an Airbender as you can get.Copy !req
41. Let's begin your first lesson.Copy !req
42. Korra's going to airbend!
Korra's going to airbend!Copy !req
43. What is that contraption?Copy !req
44. A time honored tool that teaches the
most fundamental aspect of airbending.Copy !req
45. Jinora, would you like to
explain this exercise?Copy !req
46. The goal is to weave your way
through the gatesCopy !req
47. and make it to the other side
without touching them.Copy !req
48. Seems easy enough.Copy !req
49. Jinora forgot to say you have to make it
through while the gates are spinning.Copy !req
50. The key is to be like the leaf.Copy !req
51. Flow with the movement of the gates.Copy !req
52. Jinora will demonstrate.Copy !req
53. Airbending is all about
spiral movements.Copy !req
54. When you meet resistance,Copy !req
55. you must be able to switch direction
at a moment's notice.Copy !req
56. Let's do this.Copy !req
57. Don't force your way through.Copy !req
58. Dance! Dance like the wind!Copy !req
59. Be the leaf!Copy !req
60. Airbend!Copy !req
61. What is wrong with me?Copy !req
62. Airbend!Copy !req
63. Maybe I'm just not cut out
to be an Airbender, huh, Naga?Copy !req
64. Ladies and gentlemen,Copy !req
65. I'm coming to you live
from Republic City's Pro-bending Arena,Copy !req
66. where tonight, the best in the world
continue their questCopy !req
67. for a spot in the upcoming
Championship Tournament.Copy !req
68. Grab your snacks and grab your kids,Copy !req
69. because this next match
is going to be a doozy.Copy !req
70. This Mako's got moxie!Copy !req
71. He advances, fires two quick shots.Copy !req
72. Yomo is hammered back to Zone 3.Copy !req
73. The clock is winding down,
can Yomo hold on?Copy !req
74. He's teetering on the edge
of the ring now.Copy !req
75. The Fire Ferrets line up to strike...Copy !req
76. Korra, come down here, please.Copy !req
77. You shut it off at the best part!Copy !req
78. I thought I made myself clear.Copy !req
79. I don't want you listening
to this distracting nonsense.Copy !req
80. But it's their radio!Copy !req
81. And, technically, you said
I couldn't watch a match,Copy !req
82. you didn't say anything
about listening to one.Copy !req
83. You...Copy !req
84. You know what I meant.Copy !req
85. Anyway, shouldn't you...Copy !req
86. Shouldn't you be in bed by now?Copy !req
87. I think I'm doing it wrong.Copy !req
88. There's nothing to do.Copy !req
89. Let your mind and your spirit be free,Copy !req
90. for air is the element of freedom.Copy !req
91. Is something funny?Copy !req
92. Yeah, you're telling me
to embrace freedom,Copy !req
93. but you won't even let me
listen to the radio?Copy !req
94. And forget about leaving this island.Copy !req
95. Please, Korra. Look at Meelo.Copy !req
96. He's able to meditate peacefully.Copy !req
97. - Actually, I think he's asleep.
- What?Copy !req
98. Well, at least he has
the relaxing part down.Copy !req
99. Whatever. None of this airbending stuff
makes any sense to me.Copy !req
100. I know you're frustrated, but
these teachings will sink in over time.Copy !req
101. Then one day, they'll just click.Copy !req
102. Yeah, it's not sinking in yet.Copy !req
103. I'm going to go get a glass
of lychee juice.Copy !req
104. Korra, the meditation's not over yet.Copy !req
105. Daddy, can I have
some lychee juice, too?Copy !req
106. No.Copy !req
107. Hey, what are you doing in my gym?Copy !req
108. Uh, I was just looking for a bathroom
and I got lost.Copy !req
109. Ah, the old "I-had-to-pee" excuse.Copy !req
110. You know, I'm sick and tired of you kids
sneaking in without paying.Copy !req
111. I'm taking you to security.Copy !req
112. - No, wait...
- There you are!Copy !req
113. I've been looking everywhere for you.Copy !req
114. It's all right, Toza.Copy !req
115. - She's with me.
- Yeah, I'm with him.Copy !req
116. So, you see, we're together.Copy !req
117. Well, not "together' together.
More like friends."Copy !req
118. Right, friends.
No, no, I didn't mean to imply...Copy !req
119. - Oh, you implied it.Copy !req
120. I don't care what you are.
I've got work to do.Copy !req
121. Right this way, miss.Copy !req
122. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
123. Seriously, thanks!Copy !req
124. What do you think?
Best seats in the house, huh?Copy !req
125. Whoa, unbelievable!Copy !req
126. This place is even more amazing
than I imagined!Copy !req
127. - Name's Bolin, by the way.
- Korra.Copy !req
128. Psst.Copy !req
129. - Bolin.
- Yeah?Copy !req
130. I told you, you have to stop bringing
your crazy fan girls in hereCopy !req
131. before the matches. Get her out of here.Copy !req
132. Aww, come on, Mako.Copy !req
133. All right, look, I kind of promised her
she could stay.Copy !req
134. But, man, I got a good feeling.
There's something special about her.Copy !req
135. I know it. Come here.Copy !req
136. I want you to meet my brother, Mako.Copy !req
137. Mako?Copy !req
138. Wow, I heard you play on the radio...Copy !req
139. Come on, Bolin, we're up.Copy !req
140. Or I could meet him later.Copy !req
141. Yeah, sorry about that.Copy !req
142. My brother just gets real focused
before a match.Copy !req
143. Okay, I got to go!Copy !req
144. Wish me luck. Not that I'll need it.Copy !req
145. Good luck! Knock 'em out!Copy !req
146. Introducing the Fire Ferrets!Copy !req
147. I love you, Bolin!Copy !req
148. The rookie Ferrets came
from out of nowhereCopy !req
149. and have made it further than
anyone expected this season.Copy !req
150. But tonight they face
their toughest test yet, folks.Copy !req
151. And they're off!Copy !req
152. The two teams waste no time trying to
blast each other out of Zone 1.Copy !req
153. Hasook is the first
to feel the heat of the Tigerdillos.Copy !req
154. He tries to return the favor,
but they're too fast for him,Copy !req
155. while Mako showcases his trademark
"cool under fire" style.Copy !req
156. The Tigerdillos score with a walloping
one-two combo.Copy !req
157. Can their teammate hold on
to their Zone 1 territory?Copy !req
158. Guess not! Mako's over the line.Copy !req
159. The Tigerdillos get the green light
and advance into Ferret territory.Copy !req
160. Come on, Ferrets!Copy !req
161. - Looks like Hasook's in trouble.Copy !req
162. He's in Zone 3, teetering over the brink!Copy !req
163. And Hasook takes a dip!
He'll be back for Round 2,Copy !req
164. assuming the fabulous bending brothersCopy !req
165. can hold their ground
until the next round.Copy !req
166. Round 1 goes to
the Golden Temple Tigerdillos!Copy !req
167. Come on, Hasook, get your act together.Copy !req
168. The Fire Ferrets
are knocked into Zone 2Copy !req
169. and the Tigerdillos advance.Copy !req
170. The Fire Ferrets cinch the round
in the closing seconds.Copy !req
171. It's one apiece.Copy !req
172. Still anyone's match
as we go into the third and final round.Copy !req
173. Hasook stumbles and now he tumbles,
right into his teammate.Copy !req
174. He and Bolin better untangle quick
if they don't want to...Copy !req
175. Oh, too late!Copy !req
176. Oh, no!Copy !req
177. it's all up to Mako now.Copy !req
178. He's bobbing and weaving.
He's weaving and bobbing.Copy !req
179. But he's not hitting back.Copy !req
180. If Mako's knocked out,
the Ferrets' fabulous season is over.Copy !req
181. He's dancing on the edge of the ring,
surviving the three-on-one barrage.Copy !req
182. It seems his plan is to let
the Tigerdillos punch themselves out.Copy !req
183. - And his plan is working!Copy !req
184. Hahn is in the pool.Copy !req
185. They've got nothing left in the tank,
and Mako is on the offensive!Copy !req
186. It's two-on-one.Copy !req
187. Scratch that. It's one-on-one.Copy !req
188. And it's an earth and fire slugfest!Copy !req
189. There's so much smoke and dust
from the fire fight...Copy !req
190. I can't even see
where the Fire Ferret is!Copy !req
191. It's a knockout!Copy !req
192. What a wing-dinger of a hat trick, folks!Copy !req
193. Mako pulls off the upset of the season,
winning the match for the Fire Ferrets!Copy !req
194. Wahoo! Yes!Copy !req
195. One more win and
we're in the Championship Tournament.Copy !req
196. So what did you think, Korra?Copy !req
197. Bolin's got some moves, huh?Copy !req
198. What did I think? What did I think?Copy !req
199. That was amazing.Copy !req
200. You did more harm than good out there.
You almost cost us the match.Copy !req
201. - We won, didn't we?
- Barely.Copy !req
202. Get off my case, pal!Copy !req
203. Ugh!Copy !req
204. Useless.Copy !req
205. You guys were incredible out there.
Especially you, Mr. Hat Trick.Copy !req
206. Oh, you're still here?Copy !req
207. Oh, you're still a jerk?Copy !req
208. Anyway.Copy !req
209. I've been immersed in bending
my entire life,Copy !req
210. but I never learned
how to move like that.Copy !req
211. It's like there's a whole new style here.Copy !req
212. Think you could show me a few tricks?Copy !req
213. - Absolutely.
- Right now?Copy !req
214. Come on, Bolin.Copy !req
215. Just ignore him.Copy !req
216. Yeah, I can show you the basics.Copy !req
217. I'm just not sure how my earthbending
would translate to your waterbending,Copy !req
218. but we'll figure it out.Copy !req
219. Won't be a problem.
I'm actually an Earthbender.Copy !req
220. I'm sorry!
No, no, I didn't mean to assume.Copy !req
221. 'Cause, you know, I was just figuring
with your Water Tribe getupCopy !req
222. that you are a Water Tribe gal.Copy !req
223. No, you're right, I'm a Waterbender.
And a Firebender.Copy !req
224. Mmm. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
225. I'm very confused right now.Copy !req
226. You're the Avatar, and I'm an idiot.Copy !req
227. Both are true.Copy !req
228. No way.Copy !req
229. The Avatar!Copy !req
230. All right, let's see what you got.Copy !req
231. That was great! Good power.Copy !req
232. But in a real match
you'd be a sitting turtle-duck.Copy !req
233. Not so upright and flat-footed.Copy !req
234. Stay light on your toes.Copy !req
235. Right up until the moment
when you need to dig in and strike.Copy !req
236. Then. Pop! Pop!Copy !req
237. Okay, let me try it again.Copy !req
238. Wow! Nice adjustment.Copy !req
239. - You're a natural at this.
- Not bad.Copy !req
240. What's it take to impress this guy?Copy !req
241. What? I said, "Not bad."Copy !req
242. You know what, it's getting late.Copy !req
243. I think I'm going to turn in.Copy !req
244. You kids have fun.Copy !req
245. Nice to meet you, Avatar Korra.Copy !req
246. Yeah, been a real pleasure.Copy !req
247. See you upstairs, bro.Copy !req
248. Upstairs? You guys live here?Copy !req
249. Yep. In the attic.Copy !req
250. It's nothing fancy,
but we have some great views.Copy !req
251. So back to bending.Copy !req
252. Why don't you throw that combo
one more time?Copy !req
253. Patience, Korra.Copy !req
254. That was a 2000-year-old
historical treasure.Copy !req
255. What... What is wrong with you?Copy !req
256. There's nothing wrong with me!Copy !req
257. I've been practicing,
just like you taught me.Copy !req
258. But it isn't sinking in, okay?Copy !req
259. It hasn't "clicked" like you said it would.Copy !req
260. Korra, this isn't something
you can force.Copy !req
261. If you would only listen to me...Copy !req
262. I have been! But you know what I think?Copy !req
263. Maybe the problem isn't me.Copy !req
264. Maybe the reason
I haven't learned airbending yetCopy !req
265. is because you're a terrible teacher.Copy !req
266. Yeah, you're a terrible teacher, Daddy.Copy !req
267. Okay, everyone here?Copy !req
268. Wait, where's Korra?Copy !req
269. Honestly, Pema,
I am at my wit's end with that girl.Copy !req
270. I don't know how to get through to her!Copy !req
271. Dear, the best thing you can do right
now is to give Korra some space.Copy !req
272. You must promise me that
your teenage years won't be like this.Copy !req
273. I will make no such promises.Copy !req
274. I didn't miss your match, did I?Copy !req
275. You guys look like you lost already.Copy !req
276. We might as well have.Copy !req
277. Hasook's a no-good no-show!Copy !req
278. You got two minutes to come out
ready to play or you're disqualified.Copy !req
279. Well, there goes our shot
at the tournament.Copy !req
280. And the winnings.Copy !req
281. Can't you ask one of those guys
to fill in?Copy !req
282. No, the rules say you can only compete
on one team.Copy !req
283. Well, then how about me?Copy !req
284. I'm a top-notch Waterbender,
if I do say so myself.Copy !req
285. But you're the Avatar. Isn't that cheating?Copy !req
286. It isn't cheating if I
only do waterbending.Copy !req
287. No way. I'd rather forfeit
than look like a fool out there.Copy !req
288. Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence.Copy !req
289. - Time's up. You in or out?
- We're in!Copy !req
290. - We are?
- Yes!Copy !req
291. Hey, I didn't agree to this...Copy !req
292. You can thank me later.Copy !req
293. This girl is crazy.Copy !req
294. Looks like the Fire Ferrets
have ferreted outCopy !req
295. a last-minute replacement Waterbender.Copy !req
296. Let's see if she's another
diamond in the roughCopy !req
297. like the brothers
from the school of hard knocks.Copy !req
298. Don't do anything too fancy
or aggressive.Copy !req
299. In fact, don't do anything.Copy !req
300. Just try not to get knocked off the ring.Copy !req
301. You got it, Captain.Copy !req
302. Players, are you ready?Copy !req
303. Man overboard!Copy !req
304. Fire Ferret Waterbender, penalty!
Move back one zone!Copy !req
305. What? Why?Copy !req
306. You're only allowed to knock players off
the back of the ring, not over the sides.Copy !req
307. Oh... Whoops.Copy !req
308. And we're back in action
after that hiccup.Copy !req
309. But I'm not so sure this replacement
player knows what she's doing.Copy !req
310. Foul! Over the line.
Move back to Zone 3.Copy !req
311. I'll show you over the line...Copy !req
312. The Platypus Bears take Round 1.Copy !req
313. The Platypus Bears know
a green player when they see one,Copy !req
314. and they are focusing the brunt
of their bending on this poor girl.Copy !req
315. Wait a minute.
Did that Waterbender just earthbend?Copy !req
316. Foul. I think.Copy !req
317. Did I see that right?Copy !req
318. Hold on, folks, we're just
waiting for the referee's official call,Copy !req
319. but I think this replacement player
could be...Copy !req
320. Pardon me, everyone.
Have you seen Korra this evening?Copy !req
321. She's not in her room.Copy !req
322. You've got to be kidding me.Copy !req
323. She's the Avatar, folks!Copy !req
324. Playing in a Pro-bending match!Copy !req
325. Can you believe that?Copy !req
326. I'll get her myself.Copy !req
327. The Avatar will be permitted to continue
so long as she solely bends water.Copy !req
328. This girl may be the Avatar,
but she's no Pro-bender.Copy !req
329. And the Platypus Bears are
intent on exploiting that weakness.Copy !req
330. They're giving her their best and
her best ain't good enough to stop it!Copy !req
331. And she's in the drink!Copy !req
332. Oh, hey, Tenzin.Copy !req
333. I thought you didn't like
coming to these matches.Copy !req
334. Once again, you have
flagrantly disobeyed my orders.Copy !req
335. You were to stay on the island. Let's go.Copy !req
336. No. I'm kind of
in the middle of something.Copy !req
337. I have tried my very best to get through
to you by being gentle and patient.Copy !req
338. But clearly the only thing
you respond to is force.Copy !req
339. So I am ordering you to come back
to the temple. Right now.Copy !req
340. Why? So I can sit around and meditate
about how bad I am at airbending?Copy !req
341. You know, I'm beginning to think there's
a reason I haven't been able to learn it.Copy !req
342. Because maybe I don't even need it.Copy !req
343. What? That is a ludicrous suggestion.Copy !req
344. The Avatar needs to learn airbending.
It is not optional.Copy !req
345. No. This is what I need to learn.
Modern styles of fighting.Copy !req
346. Being the Avatar isn't
all about fighting, Korra.Copy !req
347. When will you learn that?Copy !req
348. I have a match to go finish.Copy !req
349. The Platypus Bears win Round 2.Copy !req
350. Round 3!Copy !req
351. The Platypus Bears
come out of the gateCopy !req
352. and quickly go after the Ferret brothers.Copy !req
353. They're corralled in the corner,
wedged in the edge of Zone 1,Copy !req
354. unable to come to the Avatar's rescue.Copy !req
355. And, boy, does she need it!Copy !req
356. Looks like the Avatar's Pro-bending
debut is going to be cut short.Copy !req
357. She's been pushed back to Zone 3
and the water is calling her name.Copy !req
358. It's only a matter of time before...Copy !req
359. Hold the phone, stop the presses.
She's still in the game, folks!Copy !req
360. And she's moving like an entirely
different player!Copy !req
361. All of a sudden the Platypus Bears'
strikes are only striking air!Copy !req
362. How about that?Copy !req
363. The Platypus Bears have no juice left,Copy !req
364. but Mako and Bolin are
still fresh and juicy.Copy !req
365. Knockout!Copy !req
366. The Fire Ferrets come
from way behind and steal the win.Copy !req
367. What an upset, folks.Copy !req
368. The rookies, Avatar in tow,Copy !req
369. have nabbed a place
in the Championship Tournament!Copy !req
370. I cannot believe it.Copy !req
371. - Yeah.
- Yes!Copy !req
372. Korra, what can I say?Copy !req
373. You really came alive in that last round.Copy !req
374. The way you dodged their attacks.
You are a natural.Copy !req
375. Thanks, but I can't take all the credit.Copy !req
376. Someone else taught me those moves.Copy !req
377. I'm really sorry about everything I said.Copy !req
378. I was really frustrated with myself
and I took it out on you.Copy !req
379. I think I owe you an apology, too.Copy !req
380. I was trying to teach you about patience,
but I lost mine.Copy !req
381. No hard feelings?Copy !req
382. Of course not.Copy !req
383. By the way,
you were really good out there tonight.Copy !req
384. You moved just like an Airbender.Copy !req
385. Wait, you stayed and watched?Copy !req
386. I did. Pro-bending turned out to be
the perfect teaching tool for you.Copy !req
387. I'll see you tomorrow
for airbending practice, bright and early!Copy !req
388. And by the way, I kind of
permanently joined the Fire FerretsCopy !req
389. and we're playing in the tournament
in a couple of weeks.Copy !req
