Episode Summary
Aang, Katara and Sokka have run out of money. Katara suggests Sokka get a job, and, coincidentally, they meet a fisherman who is looking for someone to help him out with his fishing. But when the fisherman recognizes Aang is the Avatar, he causes him to run away on his glider. Katara follows him on Appa, and when she gets there Aang begins to reveal life before he was frozen in the iceberg.
Meanwhile, Prince Zuko and Lieutenant Jee get into an argument, until Iroh breaks it up. Soon thereafter, the Lieutenant and the rest of the crew gain a newfound respect for their leader after learning of his past.
“Don’t Have To Tell Me Twice”
Sokka: Huh? Uh… what’s going on? Did we get captured again?
Aang: It’s nothing, I just had a bad dream. Go back to sleep.
Sokka: Don’t have to tell me twice.
“Want To Hear My Dream?”
Katara: Are you all right, Aang?
Aang: I’m okay.
Katara: You seem to be having a lot of nightmares lately, you wanna tell me about it?
Aang: I think I just need some rest.
Sokka: You guys want to hear about my dream?
(Silent pause)
Sokka: That’s ok, I didn’t wanna talk about it anyway.
“Food Eats People!”
Aang: Look at those clear skies, buddy! Should be some smooth flying.
Katara: Well, we better smoothly fly ourselves to a market, cause we’re out of food.
Sokka: Guys, wait, this was in my dream, we shouldn’t go to the market.
Katara: What happened in your dream?
Sokka: Food eats people! Also, Momo could talk. You said some very unkind things.
“Get A Job”
Sokka: Out of food and out of money. Now what are we supposed to do?
Katara: You could get a job, smart guy.
“Shelter From What?”
Old Woman: We shouldn’t go out there! Please, the fish can wait. There’s going to be a terrible storm.
Old Man: You’re crazy! It’s a nice day. No clouds, no wind, no nothing. So quit you’re nagging, woman.
Aang: Maybe we should find some shelter?
Sokka: Are you kidding?! Shelter from what?
“Double?”
Old Woman: My joints say there’s going to be a storm. A bad one.
Old Man: Well, it’s your joints against my brain.
Old Woman: Then I hope your brain can find someone else to haul that fish, ’cause I ain’t comin!
Old Man: Then I’ll find a new fish hauler and pay him double what you get. How do you like that?
Sokka: I’ll go.
Old Man: You’re hired!
Sokka: What? You said “get a job” and he’s paying double.
Old Man: Double? Who told you that nonsense?
“Gonna Do This Job”
Aang: Sokka, maybe this isn’t such a good idea. Look at the sky.
Sokka: I said I was gonna do this job. I can’t back out just because of some bad weather.
“Without Saying Goodbye!”
Old Man: That’s right! Keep flying!
Katara: You’re a horrible old man!
Old Man: Eh.
Katara: Appa, yip yip!
Sokka: Hey, they left without saying goodbye!
Old Man: You’re friends ain’t too polite, are they?
Sokka: I know! This one time I was—
Old Man: Yeah yeah, get below deck.
“Too Young To Die!”
Sokka: I’m too young to die!
Old Man: I’m not, but I still don’t wanna.
“You’re Still Gonna Pay Me, Right?”
Old Woman: Oh, you’re alive! You owe this boy an apology.
Aang: He doesn’t have to apologize.
Old Man: Mmm… uh… what if instead of an apology I give him a free fish and we call it even?
Aang: Actually, I don’t eat meat.
Old Man: Fish ain’t meat.
Sokka: Seriously, you’re still gonna pay me, right?
