General Shinu:
Ba Sing Se is still under our control. However, Earthbender rebellions has prevented us from achieving total victory.

Ozai:
What is your recommendation?

General Shinu:
Our army is spread too thin. But once the eclipse is over and the invasion defeated, we should transfer more domestic forces into the Earth Kingdom.

Ozai:
Hmm, Prince Zuko, you've been among the Earth Kingdom commoners. Do you think adding more troops will stop these rebellions?

Zuko:
The people of the Earth Kingdom are proud and strong. They can endure anything as long as they have hope.

Ozai:
Yes, you're right. We need to destroy their hope.

Zuko:
Well, that's not exactly what I...

Azula:
I say you should take their precious hope and the rest of their land and burn it all to the ground.

Ozai:
Yes. Yes, you're right, Azula.
