Episode Summary

When a young waterbender named Katara and her brother, Sokka, discover a giant iceberg while fishing for food around their homestead at the South Pole, they discover that there is a boy named Aang inside, whom they discover is an airbender, a group of people which were thought to be extinct. However, after a string of unfortunate events which puts the village in harms way, they soon learn that there is more to him than meets the eye.

“Magic Water”

Sokka: Why is it that every time you play with “magic water” I get soaked?

“I’d Keep My Weirdness to Myself”

Katara: It’s not “magic”, it’s Waterbending and it’s—
Sokka: Yeah yeah, an ancient art, unique to our culture, blah blah blah. Look, I’m just saying that if I had weird powers I’d keep my weirdness to myself.

“Yeah, Congratulations”

Sokka: Okay, you’ve gone from weird to freakish Katara.
Katara: You mean I did that?
Sokka: Yeah, congratulations.

“My Flying Sister”

Sokka: What is that thing?
Aang: This is Appa, my flying bison.
Sokka: And this is Katara, my flying sister.

“I Got Midnight Sun Madness”

Sokka: Giant light beams, flying bison, airbenders, I think I got midnight sun madness. I’m going home, where stuff makes sense.

“Amazing”

(Sokka sarcastically)
Sokka: Wow, that was truly amazing.

“Last Time I Checked”

Sokka: You know, last time I checked, HUMANS CAN’T FLY.

“Waste Time”

Sokka: Great, you’re an Airbender, Katara’s a Waterbender, together you can waste time all day long.

“But I Really Gotta Go!”

Sokka: Now men, it’s important that you show no fear when you face a Firebender. In the Water Tribe, we fight to the last man standing. Because without courage, how can we call ourselves men?
(Pause)
Young Boy: I gotta pee.
Sokka: Listen, until your fathers return from the war, they’re counting on you to be the men of this tribe! And that means no potty breaks!
Young Boy: But I really gotta go!
Sokka: okay, who else has to go?
(Everyone raises their hands)
(Sokka slaps his forehead)
