Quotes 

• Pema : Our new son.

  Tenzin : Hello... Come, meet your new brother.

  Meelo : A brother? Well it's about time!

  Ikki : Welcome, I'm Ikki, and this is Jinora and Meelo. We have a super great family and we're so happy that you're a part of it.

  Jinora : What're you gonna name him? Can I pick?

  Pema : We already chose a name.

  Tenzin : Rohan.

• Korra : What do you want to do, Tenzin?

  Tenzin : I need to protect my family, and get them as far away from this conflict as possible. If Amon got his hands on my children... I hate to even think of it.

  Lin Beifong : If you're leaving, then I'm going with you

  Tenzin : But...

  Lin Beifong : No arguments. You and your family are the last airbenders. There's no way in the world I'm letting Amon take your bending away.

  Tenzin : Thank you, Lin. Korra, I want you to leave this island and hide for the time being.

  Korra : I'm not giving up.

  Tenzin : I'm not asking you to. I sent word to the United Forces. They will be here soon. And once my family is safe, I will return. With the reinforcements, we can turn the tide in this war.

  Korra : What you're saying is, we need to be patient.

  Tenzin : Your learning well. Stay safe, Korra.

  Korra : You too.

• Jinora : Daddy, you're home. We waited up for you. Is Korra okay?

  Tenzin : Yes, she's fine, sweetie.

  Ikki : I was scared. I thought she wasn't coming back.

  Tenzin : I'm sorry you were scared, but everything is going to be fine now. I promise.

• Tenzin : Korra, I realize you've been through a lot, but I need to know everything that happened.

  Korra : Well, first off, Tarrlok isn't who he says he is. He's Yakone's son.

  Lin Beifong : It all makes sense now. That's how Tarrlok was able to bloodbend us without a full moon.

  Tenzin : But how did you escape? And where's Tarrlok?

  Korra : Amon captured him, and took his bending.

• Tenzin : Will you stay here and watch over Pema and the children while I meet with the council? With everything that has happened lately, I want to be sure my family is in safe hands.

  Lin Beifong : Of course I'll help, old friend.

• Tenzin : I'm the only Council member left. What's the status?

  Saikhan : Amon has launched simultaneous attacks across the boroughs. The police are trying to regain control but we're spread too thin.

• Korra : Are you all right?

  Tenzin : I'm fine. Thank you kids. Another moment later and I would have been on my way to Amon.

  Mako : Uh, guys... look.

  [Equalists are at the Island] 

• Meelo : We caught the bad guys.

  Tenzin : You let them fight? Do you realize what could have happened?

  Lin Beifong : I would have been toast if it weren't for your kids. You should be proud. You taught them well. Go on, be with your wife.
