“My Good Friend Appa”
Yue: So they don’t have palaces in the Southern Tribe?
Sokka: Are you kidding? I grew up in a block of ice, it’s not exactly a cultural hub.
Yue: Hahaha…
(Yue’s expression grows grim)
Yue: Sokka, this is wrong.
Sokka: What’s wrong? We’re taking a walk!
Yue: I’m engaged! It just feels…
Sokka: I know what you need. You need to meet my good friend Appa.
Yue: Who?
“Enough Attention”
Sokka: Appa and I go way back. Don’t we Appa?
(Appa pounces on Sokka)
Sokka: No! Easy! Down boy! No, up!
Yue: Looks like you haven’t been giving Appa enough attention.
“It’s Beautiful Up Here”
Yue: So how does this work?
Sokka: You hanging on tight?
Yue: Uh huh.
Sokka: Yip… yip.
Yue: Oh my goodness! Wow, I can’t believe you do this every day.
Sokka: Yeah, we pretty much live up here.
Yue: Is it always this cold in the sky?
Sokka: Not when you’re with someone.
Yue: It’s beautiful up here.
Sokka: Yeah.
“Oh No”
Sokka: Woo! Yeah! Good times, good times… hey look!
Yue: What’s happening?
Sokka: Oh no.
“There’s A Lot Of Them”
Sokka: Soot.
Yue: What?
Sokka: I’ve seen it before. Right before my village was attacked. It’s soot mixed with snow.
Yue: But why?
Sokka: It’s the Fire Nation. They’ve closed in on the North Pole. And from the looks of this stuff, I’d say there’s a lot of them.
“You Don’t Love Him Do You?”
Sokka: What’s wrong? We have to go!
Yue: No Sokka, wait. I can’t see you anymore. Not at all.
Sokka: What? We’re just friends.
Yue: I wish we could just be friends, but I like you too much. And it’s too confusing to be around you. I’m marrying someone else!
Sokka: You don’t love him do you? You don’t even seem to like him.
Yue: But I do love my people.
Sokka: You’re not marrying them.
Yue: You don’t understand. I have duties to my father, to my tribe, I have to do this. Goodbye.
“Many Of You Will Not Return”
Chief: I’m going to need volunteers for a dangerous mission.
Sokka: Count me in!
Katara: Sokka!
Chief: Be warned, many of you will not return. Come forward to recieve my mark if any of you accept my task.
“Eighty-Five”
Chief: Men, you’ll all be infiltrating the Fire Nation navy. That means you’ll all need one of these uniforms.
Sokka: Hahaha.
Han: What’s your problem?
Sokka: Fire Navy uniforms don’t look like that.
Han: Of course they do! These are real uniforms captured from actual Fire Navy soldiers.
Sokka: When? Like, a hundred years ago?
Chief: Eighty–five.
“Nothing. Congratulations”
Sokka: Now our first objective is to determine the identity of their commanding officer.
Sokka: His name is Zhao. Middle–aged, big sideburns, bigger temper.
Chief: Sokka, I want you to tell everything you know to Han. He’s leading this mission. Han, show Sokka your respect. I expect nothing less from my future son–in–law.
Sokka: Princess Yue is marrying you?
Han: Yeah? What of it?
Sokka: Nothing. Congratulations.
“A Jerk Without A Soul”
Han: Let me tell you So–ka I’ve courted a lot of girls, but Yue is the finest. And she comes with the most perks.
Sokka: Perks?! What does that mean?
Han: I mean Yue’s nice and everything, but the points I gain with the chief aren’t bad either.
Sokka: Princess Yue is wasted on a self–absorbed weasel like you!
Han: Woah, hang on. What do you care? You’re just a simple rube from the Southern Tribe. How would you know of the political complexities of our life? No offense.
Sokka: Ahhh!!!
(Sokka attacks Han)
Sokka: You’re just a jerk without a soul! No offense!
Chief: That’s enough! Sokka, you’re off the mission!
Han: Alright, fall in men! Everyone listen to what I say and we’ll take out this Admiral Cho in no time.
Sokka: It’s Admiral Zhao!
“Shouldn’t Be Too Hard”
Chief: Is something wrong Sokka?
Sokka: (Sarcastically) Oh no. Han’s out there on a top secret mission while I’m here sharpening my boomerang. Everything’s fine.
Chief: Listen to me, I took you off the mission for selfish reasons. I have a special task in mind for you.
Sokka: What? You want me to scrub the barracks?
Chief: I want you to guard my daughter, Princess Yue.
Sokka: (Stunned) Sure… that shouldn’t be too hard.
