Avatar: The Last Airbender, Season 2

Captain:
Princess, I'm afraid the tides will not allow us to bring the ship into port before nightfall.

Azula:
I'm sorry, Captain, but I do not know much about the tides. Can you explain something to me?

Captain:
Of course, Your Highness.

Azula:
Do the tides command this ship?

Captain:
Um... I'm afraid I don't understand.

Azula:
You said the tides would not allow us to bring the ship in. Do the tides command this ship?

Captain:
...No, Princess.

Azula:
And, if I were to have you thrown overboard, would the tides think twice about smashing you against the rocky shore?

Captain:
[nervously]... No, Princess.

Azula:
Well, then maybe you should worry less about the tides, who've already made up their mind about killing you, and worry more about me, who's still mulling it over.

Captain:
I'll put us in.
