Episode Summary
As one of Aang’s little detours, the group heads toward the island of Kyoshi. But soon they learn that the townspeople don’t trust foreigners well at all; however, when Aang proves to them that he is the Avatar they are treated as guests of honor. Katara wants to get some supplies and leave as soon as possible, while Aang is enjoying his time as a celebrity; little do they know, though, that the Fire Nation has tracked them down. Also, Sokka meets and trains with a female warrior named Suki.
“Getting Close”
Sokka: You have no idea where you’re going do you?
Aang: Well… I know it’s near water.
Sokka: (Sarcastically) I guess getting close then.
“The Natural Order of Things”
Sokka: Stop bugging her airhead, you need to give girls their space when they’re doing their sewing.
Katara: What does me being a girl has to do with sewing?
Sokka: Simple. Girls are better at fixing pants than guys. And guys are better at hunting and fighting and stuff like that. It’s just the natural order of things.
Katara: (Sarcastically) All done with your pants. And look what a great job I did.
Sokka: Wait, I was just kidding. I can’t wear these. Katara please!
“10–Ton Magical Monster”
Sokka: Yeah, that was real convincing. Still, hard to argue with a 10–ton magical monster.
“Or We Could Stay A While”
Katara: What was that thing?
Aang: I don’t know.
Sokka: Well, let’s not stick around to find out. Time to hit the road.
(Aang, Katara, and Sokka are ambushed. A fight ensues with the three getting caught)
Aang: Ooph.
Katara: Ooph.
Sokka: Ooph.
Sokka: Or we could stay a while.
“Show Yourselves Cowards!”
Village Elder: You three have some explaining to do.
Suki: And if you don’t answer all our questions, we’re throwing you back into the water with the Unagi.
Sokka: Show yourselves cowards!
(Sokka’s blindfold is removed)
Sokka: Who are you? Where are the men who ambushed us?
Suki: There were no men. We ambushed you. Now tell us, who are you and what are you doing here?
Sokka: Wait a second, there’s no way a bunch of girls took us down.
Suki: A bunch of girls huh? The Unagi’s going to eat well tonight.
Katara: No, don’t hurt him. He didn’t mean it, my brother’s just an idiot sometimes.
“Sneak Attacks Don’t Count!”
Aang: Sokka, what’s your problem? Eat!
Sokka: Not hungry.
Aang: But you’re always hungry.
Katara: He’s just upset because a bunch of girls kicked his butt yesterday.
Sokka: They snuck up on me!
Katara: Right… and then they kicked your butt.
Sokka: Sneak attacks don’t count! (Grumbling) Tie me up with ropes, I’ll show them a thing or two. I’m not scared of any girls, who do they think they are anyway? Mmm, this is tasty.
“Dance Lesson”
Sokka: Sorry ladies, didn’t mean to interrupt your dance lesson. I was just looking for somewhere to get a little workout.
Suki: Well, you’re in the right place.
“Best Warrior In My Village”
Suki: Sorry about yesterday. I didn’t know you were friends with the Avatar.
Sokka: It’s alright. I mean, normally I’d hold a grudge, but seeing as you guys are just a bunch of girls I’ll make an exception.
Suki: (Glibly) I should hope so. A big strong man like you? We wouldn’t stand a chance.
Sokka: True, but don’t feel bad after all I’m the best warrior in my village.
Suki: (Glibly) Wow, best warrior huh? In your whole village? Maybe you’d be kind enough to give us a little demonstration.
Sokka: Oh? Well, I mean… I—
Suki: Come on girls. Wouldn’t you like him to show us some moves?
(The girls giggle)
Sokka: Well, if that’s what you want I’d be happy to.
“Try To Block Me”
Sokka: Alright, you stand over there. Now, this may be a little tough, but try to block me.
(Sokka attacks and is easily blocked by Suki)
Sokka: Ow!
(Sokka staggers back)
Sokka: Uh huh, good. Of course, I was going easy on you.
Suki: Of course.
Sokka: Let’s see… if you can handle this!
(Sokka gets tripped up by Suki)
Sokka: Ooph!
(Sokka gets back up)
Sokka: That does it!
(Sokka fights with Suki and gets soundly beaten)
Suki: Anything else you want to teach us?
“All Of Our Traditions”
Sokka: Uh… hey, Suki.
Suki: Hoping for another dance lesson?
Sokka: No, I— well— let me explain.
Suki: Spit it out! What do you want?
(Sokka kneels before Suki)
Sokka: I would be honored if you would teach me.
Suki: Even if I’m a girl?
Sokka: I’m sorry if I insulted you earlier. I was… wrong.
Suki: We normally don’t teach outsiders, let alone boys.
Sokka: Please make an exception, I won’t let you down.
Suki: Alright, you’ll have to follow all of our traditions.
Sokka: Of course.
Suki: And I mean, all of them.
“It Feels A Little… Girly”
Sokka: Do I really have to wear this? It feels a little… girly.
“Bravery and Honor”
Suki: It’s a warrior’s uniform. You should be proud. The silk threads symbolize the brave blood that flows through our veins. The gold insignia represents the honor in the warrior’s heart.
Sokka: Bravery and honor.
Aang: Hey Sokka, nice dress.
“I Got You!”
Suki: You’re not going to master it in one day. Even I’m not that good.
Sokka: I think I’m starting to get it.
(Sokka attempts to perform the technique, but fails)
Suki: It’s not about strength. Our technique is about using our opponent’s force against them. Loosen up. Think of the fan as an extension of your arm. Wait for an opening and then—
(Sokka successfuly counterattacks Suki)
Sokka: Hmmm.
Suki: I fell down on purpose to make you feel better!
Sokka: I got you! Admit I got you!
(Suki grabs Sokka’s finger and bends it painfully)
Suki: Ha ha, okay. It was a lucky shot. Let’s see if you can do it again.
“I’m Not A—”
Village Elder: Firebenders have landed on our shores! Girls, come quickly!
Sokka: Hey! I’m not a— ah, whatever!
“Training’s Over”
Sokka: I guess training’s over.
“I’m A Girl Too”
Suki: There’s no time to say goodbye.
Sokka: Well, what about, “I’m sorry”?
Suki: For what?
Sokka: I treated you like a girl when I should of treated you like a warrior.
Suki: I am a warrior.
(Suki kisses Sokka)
Suki: But I’m a girl too.
