Episode Summary


While on their way to the North Pole, Aang and his friends arrive at a giant canyon where two groups of refugees are bickering over who should get to go across. Aang decides to walk across with the two groups to ensure they don’t fight one another. However, he soon learns that the two tribes have been feuding for one hundred years and they both believe their actions are justified. But when the predators inside the canyon start to come out, Aang is stuck trying to defend both tribes from each other and the vicious wildlife.

“King Of The Tents”


Katara: Um, aren’t you forgetting the tarp?
Sokka: Right, got it.
Katara: Sokka, you’re suppose to put the tarp on top of the tent. You know, so we don’t get rained on.
Sokka: Ordinarily you’d be right. But seeing how it’s the dry season you’re not. Besides that tarp makes a pretty warm blanket.
Katara: But what if it does rain?
Sokka: But what if it doesn’t? Then I would have put the tarp up for nothing.
Katara: You’re infuriating!
Sokka: Katara, why don’t you worry about gathering the firewood because that kindling is looking pretty sorry.
Katara: Well, if you don’t like my firewood then—
(Katara throws the kindling at Sokka)
Sokka: Fine by me! If you’re not going to do your job then—
(Sokka pulls down the tent)
Aang: Okay, I got the grub if you guys got the… hey, where’s the campfire? And what happened to the tent?
Sokka: Why don’t you ask Ms. Know-It-All, Queen of the Twigs.
Katara: Oh yeah?! Well, you’re Mr. Lazy Bum, King of the… Tent!
Aang: Okay, listen guys. Harsh words won’t solve problems, actions will. Why don’t you just switch jobs?
Katara: Sounds good.
Sokka: Whatever.
Aang: See that? Settling feuds and making peace. All in a day’s work for the Avatar.

“I’ve Seen Enough”


Aang: Here it is guys, the Great Divide.
Katara: Wow, I could just stare it forever.
Sokka: Okay, I’ve seen enough.
Katara: How can you not be fascinated Sokka? This is the largest canyon in the entire world.
Sokka: Then I’m sure we’ll be able to see it very clearly from the air as we fly away.

“We Know You’re Next”


Sokka: Calm down, we know you’re next.

“Feuding Tribe Stuff”


Sokka: Aang, this feuding tribe stuff is serious business. Are you sure it’s a good idea getting involved in this?
Aang: To tell the truth… I’m not sure. But when have I ever been?
Katara: He’s the Avatar, Sokka. Making peace between people is his job.
Sokka: His job’s gonna make us cross this whole thing on foot, isn’t it?

“Now You Gotta Help Me!”


Sokka: We gotta help him!
(Sokka attacks and gets attacked himself)
Sokka: Okay, now you gotta help me!

“Someone Gets It”


Sokka: So you guys aren’t going to put up your tarps?
Zhang Leader: What for? It’s the dry season.
Sokka: Exactly!
Zhang Leader: Besides, we like to use the tarp as a blanket.
Sokka: Finally someone gets it.

“Care For Some Meat?”


Zhang Leader: Care for some meat?
Sokka: Would I?
Zhang Leader: I know what you must be thinking. We’re horrible for endangering everybody by bringing food down here.
Sokka: Mmm hmm.
Zhang Leader: The Gan Jin think so badly of us they probably assumed we brought food in and decided to bring food in themselves. That’s why we brought food in.
Sokka: Mmmm.

“You Gonna Finish That?”


Zhang Leader: Instead of thanking him for his kind and selfless deed they sentenced him to twenty long years in prison. We Zhang’s will never forget that injustice.
Sokka: That’s just terrible. You gonna finish that?

“What Are You Talking About?”


Aang: Katara, Sokka, will these people cooperate long enough to get out of the canyon?
Katara: I don’t think so, Aang, the Zhang’s really wronged the Gan Jins. They ambushed Jin We and stole the sacred orb.
Aang: What are you talking about?
Sokka: Yeah Katara, what are you talking about? We Jin didn’t steal the orb, he was returning it to their village gate and was wrongfully punished by the Gan Jin.
Katara: Not punished enough if you ask me!
Aang: Okay! Okay! I get it! Now I need your help. Let’s get everyone together at the base of the canyon wall.

“‘Cause They Fed Me”


Katara: Sokka, wait! I don’t care about this stupid feud! I just want us to get out of here alive.
Sokka: Me too. I only took their side ’cause they fed me.

“That Is So Wrong”


Sokka: That’s some luck you knew Jin Wei and Wei Jin.
Aang: You could call it luck. Or you could call it… lying!
Sokka: What?!
Aang: I made the whole thing up.
Katara: You did not. (Pause) That is so wrong.
Aang: Now where’s that custard tart? I’m starving!
