Quotes 

• Sokka : [hunting a cute baby animal]  You're awfully cute, but unfortunately for you, you're made of meat.

• Sokka : [to Aang about the cute animal]  Aang, this is my friend Fu-Fu Cuddly Poops. Fu-Fu Cuddly Poops, Aang.

  Aang : [picking the animal up]  Aw, what a cute name for a little baby saber-toothed moose lion cub.

• Sokka : [Still stuck in the crevice]  Okay, karma person or thing, whoever's in charge of this stuff, if I can just get out of this situation alive, I will give up meat and sarcasm. Okay? Ow!

  [the band holding Sokka's hair in the ponytail comes off after a strong tug by the baby moose lion and Sokka's hair becomes a fuzzy mess] 

  Sokka : That's all I got. It's pretty much my whole identity. Sokka the meat and sarcasm guy. But I'm willing to be Sokka the veggies and straight talk fellow. Deal?

  Sokka : [Aang appears]  Aang! Thank goodness. Have you got any meat?

• Sokka : [after Aang fails to move a boulder]  Rock beats Airbender.

• Sokka : [while stuck in a crevice in the ground, talking the animal he was hunting]  You probably think I deserve this, don't you?

  [the baby moose lion peers over Sokka's forehead and looks at him] 

  Sokka : Look, I'm sorry I hunted you, but that's just the natural order of things. Big things eat smaller things, nothing personal. But this time it didn't work out that way.

  [the baby yawns and then walks in a circle on Sokka's head before lying down again and closing its eyes] 

  Sokka : I admit it, you're cute.

  [the moose lion begins licking its paws] 

  Sokka : Okay, you convinced me. If I get out of this alive, it's a karmically correct vegetarian existence for me. No meat. Even though meat is so tasty.

• Sokka : Well, if you can't Earthbend me out of here, go get Toph.

  Aang : I can't do that either.

  Sokka : You can't? Why not?

  Aang : I-It would just be really... uncomfortable.

  Sokka : Uncomfortable? Well, I wouldn't want you to feel uncomfortable.

  Aang : Thanks, Sokka. This whole Earthbending thing really has me confused. There's so much pressure. Everyone expects me to get it right away. I-It puts me in a really awkward position.

  Sokka : Awkward position, I think I know the feeling.

  Aang : I-If I try, I-I fail. But if I don't try, I-I'm never going to get it. I feel like I'm caught between a rock and a hard place.

  Sokka : Hmm, how about that?
