Quotes 

• Sokka : My first girlfriend turned into the Moon.

  Prince Zuko : [pauses]  That's rough, buddy.

• Prince Zuko : Not up to anything, huh?

  [Sokka is startled, yells and falls off Appa] 

  Sokka : Fine, you caught me. I'm going to rescue my dad. You happy now?

  Prince Zuko : I'm never happy.

• Sokka : Pretty clouds.

  Prince Zuko : Yeah, fluffy.

• Prince Zuko : There's one thing my dad's good at. it's war.

  Sokka : Yeah. Seems to run in the family.

  Prince Zuko : Hey, hold on. Not everyone in my family is like that.

  Sokka : I know, I know, you've changed.

  Prince Zuko : I meant my uncle. He was more of a father to me. And I really let him down.

  Sokka : I think your uncle would be proud of you. Leaving your home to come help us? That's hard.

  Prince Zuko : It wasn't that hard.

  Sokka : Really? You didn't leave behind anyone you cared about?

  Prince Zuko : Well, I did have a girlfriend... Mai.

  Sokka : That gloomy girl who sighs a lot?

  Prince Zuko : [smiling]  Yeah.

• Sokka : Oh, good, you guys have met.

  Suki : A-Actually, we met a long time ago.

  Prince Zuko : We did?

  Suki : [slightly angry]  Yeah. You... kind of burned down my village.

  Prince Zuko : ...Oh, sorry about that. Nice to see you again.

• Sokka : If I had just cut my losses at the invasion, maybe we wouldn't be in this mess. Maybe sometimes it's just better to call it quits before you fail.

  Prince Zuko : No, it's not. Look, Sokka, you're going to fail a lot before things work out.

  Sokka : That's supposed to make me feel better?

  Prince Zuko : Even though you'll probably fail over and over and over again...

  Sokka : Seriously, not helping.

  Prince Zuko : ...you have to try every time. You can't quit because you're afraid you *might* fail.

• Prince Zuko : Oh, what would Uncle say...? "Sometimes clouds have two sides, a dark and light and a silver lining in between. It's like a silver sandwich. So, when life seems hard, take a bite out of the silver sandwich.'

  Sokka : Maybe we haven't failed after all.

  Prince Zuko : That's the spirit. I can't believe that worked. I didn't know what I was saying.

  Sokka : No, what you said made no sense at all. But look... It's Suki!

• [Sokka enters Suki's cell dressed as guard] 

  Suki : What is it? Did I do something wrong?

  Sokka : You mean you don't recognize me?

  Suki : You people all look the same to me.

  Sokka : Oh, then maybe you'll recognize this.

  [Sokka puckers up. Suki grabs him by the throat and shoves him against the far wall, knocking his helmet off and recognizing him] 

  Suki : Sokka! It's you!

• [last lines] 

  [watching to see if his father is one of the new prisoners getting off the gondola] 

  Sokka : That's it? That can't be it.

  Suki : I'm sorry, Sokka.

  Sokka : Oh, no.

  Gondola Guard : Hey, you. Get off the gondola.

  Sokka : Dad.

• Sokka : When the invasion plan failed, some of our troops were taken. I just want to know where they might be.

  Prince Zuko : I can't tell you.

  Sokka : What? Why not?

  Prince Zuko : Trust me. Knowing would just make you feel worse.

  Sokka : It's my dad. He was captured, too. I need to know what I put him through.

  Prince Zuko : It's not good, Sokka.

  Sokka : Please.

  Prince Zuko : My guess is... they were taken to the Boiling Rock.

• Chit Sang : I heard you hatching an escape plan, and I want in.

  Prince Zuko : There's nothing to get in on.

  Sokka : Yeah, the only thing we're hatching is... an egg.

  [Zuko and Suki sigh at Sokka's lame attempt to hide the truth] 

• Sokka : My first girlfriend turned into the moon.

  Prince Zuko : ...That's rough, buddy.

• Prince Zuko : How are we gonna get off the island if the balloon won't work?

  Sokka : We'll figure something out. I suspected it might be a one-way ticket.

  Prince Zuko : You knew this would happen, and you wanted to come anyway?

  Sokka : My *dad* might be here. I had to come and see.

  Prince Zuko : Uncle always said I never thought things through. But this... This is just crazy.

  Sokka : Hey, I never wanted you to come along in the first place. And for the record, I always think things through. But my plans haven't exactly worked, so this time I'm playing it by ear. So, there.

• Prince Zuko : Well, what should we do? Are we going ahead with the plan or are we waiting another night?

  Sokka : I don't know. Is it right for me to risk Suki's freedom, all our freedom, on the slim chance that my dad is going to show up?

  Prince Zuko : It's your call, Sokka.
