Episode Summary
While traveling towards the North Pole, the group almost gets captured by the Fire Nation. However, when a charismatic young man and his band of rebels attack the Fire Nation camp and rescue them, they learn that they are trying to resist the Fire Nation’s motives to expand their territory. Katara and Aang really enjoy their time with the band of rebels, but Sokka soon discovers that they aren’t as noble as meets the eye.
“Sokka’s Just Jealous”
Sokka: These are Fire Nation traps. You can tell from the metalwork. We better pack up camp and get moving.
(The group begins to pack up their belongings)
Sokka: Uh uh, no flying this time.
Aang: What? Why wouldn’t we fly?
Sokka: Think about it. Somehow Prince Zuko and the Fire Nation keep finding us. It’s because they spot Appa, he’s just too noticeable.
Katara: What? Appa’s not too noticeable.
Sokka: He’s a gigantic fluffy monster with an arrow on his head! It’s kinda hard to miss him!
Aang: Sokka’s just jealous ’cause he doesn’t have an arrow.
“Your Voice Still Cracks”
Sokka: I know you all want to fly, but my instincts tell me we should play it safe this time and walk.
Katara: Who made you boss?
Sokka: I’m not the boss, I’m the leader.
Katara: (Snickers) You’re the leader? But your voice still cracks!
Sokka: (Voice cracking) I’m the oldest and I’m a warrior. (Voice deepens) So, I’m the leader!
“Kissed A Girl”
Katara: Why do boys always think someone has to be the leader? I bet you wouldn’t be so bossy if you kissed a girl.
Sokka: I’ve kissed a girl! You just haven’t met her.
Katara: Who? Gran Gran? I’ve met Gran Gran.
Sokka: No, besides Gran Gran.
“Just A Goofy Kid”
Katara: If anyone’s the leader, it’s Aang. I mean, he is the Avatar.
Sokka: Are you kidding? He’s just a goofy kid.
Aang: He’s right.
“Walking Stinks!”
Sokka: Look, my instincts tell me we have a better chance of slipping through on foot and the leader has to trust his instincts.
Katara: Okay. We’ll try it your way oh wise leader.
Aang: Who knows? Walking might be fun.
(After some walking)
Aang: Walking stinks! How did people go anywhere without a flying bison?
“Sokka’s Instincts”
Katara: I don’t know Aang. Why don’t you ask Sokka’s instincts? They seem to know everything.
Sokka: Ha ha, very funny.
Aang: I’m tired of carrying this pack.
Katara: You know who you should ask to carry it for a while? Sokka’s instincts!
Aang: That’s a great idea! Hey, Sokka’s instincts? Would you mind—
Sokka: Okay okay, I get it. Look guys, I’m tired too. But the important thing is that we’re safe from the Fire… Nation…
(The group stumbles upon a Fire Nation camp)
Sokka: Run!!!
“Bluffing”
Sokka: If you let us pass, we promise not to hurt you.
Katara: What are you doing?
Sokka: Bluffing.
Fire Nation Soldier: You? Promise not to hurt us?
(The Fire Nation Soldier gets knocked out)
Aang: Nice work Sokka! How’d you do that?
Sokka: Uh, instinct?
“Twenty Guys”
Aang: You just took out a whole army almost single-handed!
Sokka: Army?! Phhh, there were only like twenty guys!
“Hold This”
Jet: We’re here.
Sokka: Where? There’s nothing here.
Jet: Hold this.
Sokka: Why? What’s this do? (Grabs rope) Whoa!
“Guy In A Treehouse”
Jet: One day, we’ll drive the Fire Nation out of here for good and free that town.
Katara: That’s so brave.
Sokka: Yeah, nothing’s braver than a guy in a treehouse.
“Have To Leave”
Jet: So I might know a way you and Aang could help in our struggle.
Sokka: Unfortunately we have to leave tonight.
Jet: Sokka, you’re kidding me! I needed you on an important mission tomorrow.
Sokka: What mission?
“Good Trick”
Jet: What are you doing?
Sokka: Shh. It amplifies vibrations.
Jet: Good trick.
“Just An Old Man”
Sokka: Nothing yet. Wait! Yes, someone’s approaching.
Jet: How many?
Sokka: I think there’s just one.
Jet: Good work Sokka. Ready your weapon.
Sokka: Wait! False alarm, he’s just an old man.
Jet: What are you doing in our woods you leech?
“Doesn’t Feel Right”
Old Man: Please sir, I’m just a traveler.
Jet: Do you like destroying towns? Do you like destroying families? Do you?
Old Man: No, please let me go. Have mercy.
Jet: Does the Fire Nation let people go?! Does the Fire Nation have mercy?!
Sokka: Jet, he’s just an old man!
Jet: He’s Fire Nation! Search him!
Sokka: But he’s not hurting anyone!
Jet: Have you forgotten that the Fire Nation killed your mother! Remember why you fight!
Smellerbee: We got his stuff Jet.
Sokka: This doesn’t feel right.
Jet: It’s what has to be done. Now let’s get out of here. Come on Sokka.
“He’s Messed Up”
Katara: Hey Sokka. Is Jet back?
Sokka: Yeah, he’s back. But we’re leaving.
Aang: What?
Katara: But I made him this hat.
Sokka: Your boyfriend Jet’s a thug.
Katara: What?! No, he’s not.
Sokka: He’s messed up Katara.
Aang: He’s not messed up he’s just got a different way of life. A really fun way of life.
Sokka: He beat and robbed a harmless old man.
Katara: I want to hear Jet’s side of the story.
“Harmless Civilian”
Jet: Sokka, you told them what happened, but you didn’t mention that the guy was Fire Nation?
Katara: No, he conveniently left that part out.
Sokka: Fine! But even if he was Fire Nation he was a harmless civilian.
“There Was No Knife!”
Jet: He was an assassin Sokka. See, there’s a compartment for poison in the knife. He was sent to eliminate me. You helped save my life Sokka.
Katara: I knew there was an explanation.
Sokka: I didn’t see any knife.
Jet: That’s because he was concealing it.
Katara: See Sokka. I’m sure you just didn’t notice the knife.
Sokka: There was no knife! I’m going back to the hut and packing my things.
“Sorry Sokka”
Katara: We can’t leave now with the Fire Nation about to burn down a forest!
Sokka: I’m sorry Katara. Jet’s very smooth, but we can’t trust him.
Katara: You know what I think? You’re jealous that he’s a better warrior and a better leader.
Sokka: Katara, I’m not jealous of Jet. It’s just that my instincts—
Katara: Well my instincts tell me we need to stay here a little longer and help Jet. Come on Aang.
Aang: Sorry Sokka.
“Mothers And Fathers And Children”
Jet: Sokka, I’m glad you decided to join us.
Sokka: I heard your plan to destroy the Earth Kingdom town.
Jet: Our plan is to rid the valley of the Fire Nation.
Sokka: They’re people living there Jet, mothers and fathers and children!
Jet: We can’t win without making some sacrifices.
Sokka: You lied to Aang and Katara about the forest fire.
Jet: Because they don’t understand the demands of war. Not like you and I do.
“I Do Understand”
Sokka: I do understand. I understand that there’s nothing you won’t do to get what you want.
Jet: I was hoping you’d have an open mind. But I can see you made your choice. I can’t let you warn Katara and Aang. Take him for a walk… a long walk.
Sokka: You can’t do this!
Jet: Cheer up Sokka. We’re going to win a great victory against the Fire Nation today.
“Practice Your Knotwork”
Smellerbee: Come on, move along!
Sokka: How can you stand by and do nothing while Jet wipes out a whole town?
Pipsqueak: Hey listen Sokka, Jet’s a great leader. We follow what he says and things always turn out okay.
Sokka: If that’s how Jet leads, then he’s got a lot to learn!
Smellerbee: Hey!
(Sokka runs away with Smellerbee and Pipsqueak giving chase. They get caught in the Fire Nation traps)
Sokka: While you two are up there you might want to practice your knotwork.
“No Jet, You Became The Traitor”
Aang: Sokka didn’t make it in time.
Katara: All those people… Jet, you monster!
Jet: This was a victory Katara, remember that. The Fire Nation is gone and this valley will be safe.
Sokka: It will be safe without you!
Katara: Sokka!
Sokka: I warned the villagers of your plan just in time.
Jet: What?!
Sokka: At first they didn’t believe me. The Fire Nation soldiers assumed I was a spy. But one man vouched for me, the old man you attacked. He urged them to trust me and we got everyone out in time.
(The villagers are safely located on a hill. A doll floats down the river and a little girl goes to pick it up)
Little Girl: Misses Pretty!
Jet: Sokka, you fool! We could have freed this valley!
Sokka: Who would be free? Everyone would be dead.
Jet: You traitor!
Sokka: No Jet, you became the traitor when you stopped protecting innocent people.
Jet: Katara, please… help me.
Katara: Goodbye Jet.
Sokka: Yip yip.
“Sometimes They’re Right”
Aang: We thought you were going to the dam. How come you went to the town instead?
Katara: Let me guess. Your instincts told you?
Sokka: Hey, sometimes they’re right.
Aang: Um Sokka, you know we’re going the wrong way, right?
Sokka: And sometimes they’re wrong.
