[he literally tsks] It's not as though you had a choice. Tell me, how does it feel to sit back and watch all your techniques go to dust? You're part of a dying breed, Yakone. [NO.....................]
I'd put myself out of my misery twice if I thought I was going to rot in jail like you. I was back on the streets before the dust could even settle -- dying or not, I still know how to live.[ n... o... ] I don't know if you have what it takes to pull yourself out of the grave they dug for you.

Yes, yes, I'm familiar with your history--but I'm surprised at how little you know of mine. Unlike you benders, I wasn't born with any special gift to ease my way through the system. I am where I am today because I had a vision for the future and achieved it. [this is like the biggest dickwaving contest ever jesus christ] That will never change.
Don't be so shocked. My "special gift" took just as many years of hard work and toil to get me where I was supposed to be as yours did, hard work isn't just for you non-benders -- what I do goes far beyond the realm of simple, easy bending. Anyone can do that.
You wasted years of training and effort toward the most repulsive and illegal art in Republic City, only to have it shucked from you by the Avatar, and now you think it's worth bragging about? Honestly--how typical of a bender.
The Avatar is inconsequential to this conversation. He stole my bending because he was afraid of my power. Anyone can break your machines to do the same for you.
