Quotes 

• Sokka : You see, Aang? A little positive thinking works wonders. We got the King on our side, we got Long Feng arrested, and when we get back, Suki's waiting for me.

  Aang : Yeah, girls are waiting for us. Thanks, positive attitude.

  Sokka : Everything is gonna work out perfectly. From now on and forever.

• Toph : I'm really going to miss you guys.

  Katara : Me, too.

  Aang : Yeah.

  [Aang, Katara, and Toph do a group hug. Then they all hug Sokka. Sokka screams] 

  Sokka : Great, that's enough. Okay, we love each other. Seriously.

• Sokka : Look, we escaped from the Dai Li. We got Appa back. I'm telling you, we should go to the Earth King now and tell him our plan. We're on a roll.

  Katara : One good hour after weeks of trouble isn't much of a roll.

  Sokka : We can build on it. If we want to invade the Fire Nation when the eclipse happens, we need the Earth King's support.

  Toph : What makes you think we'll get it? I don't know if you've noticed, but things don't usually go smoothly for our little gang.

  Sokka : I know, but I've got a good feeling about this. This time will be different.

• Sokka : [as their fighting the Earth King's guards]  Seriously, we're actually on your guy's side!

  [to a falling guard] 

  Sokka : Sorry.

• Sokka : This is all such big news. Where do we even start?

  Katara : I hate to say it, but... we have to split up.

  Aang : Split up? We just found Appa and got the family back together! Now you want us to separate?

  Katara : You have to meet with this guru, Aang. If we're going to invade the Fire Nation, you need to be ready.

• Long Feng : Detain the assailants.

  Sokka : But we dropped our weapons. We're your allies.

  Long Feng : Make sure the Avatar and his friends never see daylight again.

  Earth King : The Avatar?

  [pointing to Sokka] 

  Earth King : You're the Avatar?

  Sokka : Uh, no.

  [nods to Aang] 

  Sokka : Him.

  Aang : Over here.

  Long Feng : What does it matter, Your Highness? They are enemies of the state.

  Earth King : Perhaps you're right.

  [Bosco walks up and starts licking Aang] 

  Earth King : Though Boscco seems to like him. I'll hear what he has to say.

• Earth King : What are you suggesting, Sokka?

  Sokka : That's the day we need to invade the Fire Nation... The day of Black Sun.

  Earth King : I don't know. That would require moving troops out of Ba Sing Se. We'd be completely vulnerable.

  Sokka : You're already vulnerable. The Fire Nation won't stop until Ba Sing Se falls. You can either sit back and wait for that to happen, or take the offensive and give yourself a fighting chance.

  Earth King : [Slight pause]  Very well, you have my support.

• Sokka : Someone has to stay here with the Earth King and help him plan the invasion. I guess that's me.

  Katara : No, Sokka, I know how badly you want to help Dad. You go to Chameleon Bay. I stay here with the King.

  Sokka : You... are the... nicest... sister... ever!

  [Kisses Katara on the cheek] 

  Katara : Easy there, big brother.

  [chuckles] 

  Katara : Though you're right, I am.

• Aang : I can't believe it. There's a man living at the Eastern Air Temple. He says he's a guru.

  Sokka : What's a guru? Some kind of poisonous blowfish?

  Aang : No, a spiritual expert. He wants to help me take the next step in the Avatar journey. He says he can teach me to control the Avatar State.
