on voice actor shenanigans

[restorehonour]

So, let me get this straight. First you watch that movie about the guy in green tights and the pirate, because I'm in it. Well, not me -- just a guy who sounds like me. Roof-something? You know, the one with the stupid hair. And those orange pants -- ugh!

Now you're watching this?! I can't even understand most of what that kid says! He's all, 'Yo!' and, 'Jake is in the hizzy!' and... whatever that other stuff means. I can't believe I just said that... He's not me, that girl is not Katara, and my grandfather was not Aang's first Firebending teacher, okay?! And I don't care if he met Stitch, the fact we both know that freaky blue monster is coincidence.

Maybe turning into a dragon would be cool, but... What am I saying? That's not the point! They're actors playing different people! It's like saying the Ember Island Players are the same as the real thing!

--Don't say it.

No way! He's a smartmouth kid who wastes his time chasing girls! You think I act like that?

[deadlydebutante]

[Eyes him.]

You're a smartmouth who chases something.

[restorehonour]

Chased. Not any more.

[deadlydebutante]

You're always after something though, aren't you, Zuko?

[restorehonour]

Having goals is different to being a shameless flirt. It's like he doesn't think about anything else!

[deadlydebutante]

What are we talking about now?

[Flirt? What? Who?]

[restorehonour]

Uh, that Jake kid? He hits on any girl he sees.

[deadlydebutante]

Jake-kid? What kind of name is that?

[restorehonour]

That's not what I--

[Siiigh.] Never mind. The point is, I'm nothing like him.

[deadlydebutante]

You present a compelling argument.

[restorehonour]

[Just looks at her. She's being sarcastic, right?]

[deadlydebutante]

[Mai stares back. Isn't it obvious?]
