Sokka Quotes » Book 2: Earth » 204 » The Swamp

Episode Summary


A mysterious tornado pulls the kids into a supernatural swamp where Katara, Sokka and Aang have mysterious visions. Meanwhile, Momo and Appa are chased by rogue swamp dwellers and only Aang and the gang can save them.

“Are You Noticing Now?”


Sokka: Hey, you taking us down for a reason?
(Appa continues to drift downward, Aang is lost in thought)
Sokka: Aang! Why are we going down?!
Aang: What? I didn’t even notice.
Sokka: Are you noticing now?

“Any Land There To Land On”


Sokka: Is something wrong?
Aang: I know this is going to sound weird, but I think the swamp is calling to me.
Sokka: Is it telling you where we can get something to eat?
Aang: No, I— I think it wants us to land there.
Sokka: No offense to the swamp, but I don’t see any land there to land on.
Aang: I don’t know. Bumi said to learn Earthbending I would have to wait and listen. And now I’m actually hearing the Earth. Do you want me to ignore it?
Sokka: Yes!

“Better Throw In An Extra ‘Yip’”


Katara: I don’t know. There’s something ominous about that place.
Sokka: See! Even Appa and Momo don’t like it here.
Aang: Okay, since everyone feels so strongly about this, bye swamp. Yip yip!
Sokka: You better throw in an extra “yip”, we gotta move!

“Elbow Leech”


Katara: Sokka, you’ve got an elbow leech.
Sokka: Where?! WHERE?!
Katara: Where do you think?
Sokka: Why do things keep on attaching to me?!

“Nicer To The Swamp”


Sokka: We better speed things up.
Aang: Maybe we should be a little nicer to the swamp.
Sokka: Aang, these are just plants. Do you want me to say “Please” and “Thank you” as I swing my machete back and forth?
Katara: Maybe you should listen to Aang. Something about this place feels… alive.
Sokka: I’m sure there are lots of things that are “alive” here. And if we don’t want to wind up getting eaten by them, we need to find Appa as fast as we can.

“Nothing Supernatural”


Katara: Appa! Momo?
Sokka: There’s no way they can hear us and no way we can see them. We’ll have to make camp for the night.
(A large bubble bursts)
Katara: What was that?!
Sokka: Nothing, just swamp gas. Look, there’s nothing supernatural going on here.
(A weird bird shrieks into the night)
Sokka: I think we should build a fire.

“I Asked The Swamp”


Aang: Sokka, the longer we’re here the more I think you shouldn’t be doing that.
Sokka: No, I asked the swamp it said that this was fine. Right swamp? (Sokka imitating the swamp) No problem Sokka!

“Except For Them”


Katara: Does anyone else get the feeling we’re being watched?
Sokka: Please, we’re all alone out here.
(Glowing eyes appear from the darkness)
Aang: Except for them.
Sokka: Right. Except for them.

“You Didn’t Protect Me”


Sokka: Aang! Stupid swamp, dumb ugly vines! Katara! You think you’re so tough!
(Sokka sees a ghostly apparition that resembles Princess Yue)
Sokka: Hello…? Yue?
Sokka: This is just a trick of the light— swamp gas. I hit my head last night. I’m going crazy.
Yue: You didn’t protect me.
Sokka: Huh…

“Tea Party Here”


Sokka: What do you guys think you’re doing?! I’ve been looking all over for you!
Katara: Well, I’ve been wandering around looking for you!
Aang: I was chasing some girl.
Katara: What girl?
Aang: I don’t know. I heard laughing and I saw some girl in a fancy dress.
Sokka: Well, there must be a tea party here and we just didn’t get our invitations.

“Scared And Hungry”


Katara: I thought I saw mom.
Sokka: Look, we were all just scared and hungry and our minds were playing tricks on us. That’s why we all saw things out here.
Katara: You saw something too?
Sokka: I thought I saw Yue, but that doesn’t prove anything. Look, I think about her all the time and you saw mom, someone you miss a lot.

“It’s Just A Tree”


Aang: What about me? I didn’t know the girl I saw. And all our visions lead us right here.
Sokka: Okay, so where’s here? The middle of the swamp?
Katara: Yeah… the center.
Aang: It’s the heart of the swamp. It’s been calling us here. I knew it.
Sokka: It’s just a tree. It can’t call anyone. For the last time, there’s nothing after us. And there’s nothing magical happening here.
Aang, Katara, Sokka: Aaaahhhh!

“Stuff Like That Happens”


Aang: We were flying over and I heard something calling to me, telling me to land.
Sokka: He’s the Avatar. Stuff like that happens to us a lot.

“Completely Reasonable”


Katara: So who are you then?
Swamp Mystic: I protect the swamp from folks who want to hurt it. Like this fellow with his big knife.
Sokka: See? Completely reasonable. Not a monster, just a regular guy defending his home. Nothing mystical about it.

“Seems Real Chatty”


Swamp Mystic: Oh the swamp is a mystical place alright. It’s sacred. I reached enlightenment right here under the banyon grove tree. I heard it calling me just like you did.
Sokka: Sure you did. It seems real chatty.

“Sorry To Interrupt”


Sokka: Sorry to interrupt the lesson, but we still need to find Appa and Momo.

“Nice Slim”


Country Waterbender: How you like that possum chicken?
Sokka: Tastes just like artic hen. So why are you guys so interested in eating Appa? You got plenty of those big things wandering around.
Country Waterbender: You want me to eat ol’ Slim? He’s like a member of the family.
Sokka: Nice Slim.
Country Waterbender: He don’t eat no bugs. That’s people food.

“That’s Avatar Stuff”


Sokka: Well, I hope you realize now that there was nothing strange was going on here. Just a bunch of greasy people living in a swamp.
Katara: What about the visions?
Sokka: I told you we were hungry! I’m eating a giant bug!
Aang: But what about when the tree showed me were Appa and Momo were?
Sokka: That’s Avatar stuff, that doesn’t count. The only thing I can’t figure out is how you made the tornado that sucked us down.
Swamp Mystic: I can’t do any of that. I just bend the water in the plants.
Sokka: Well, no accounting for weather. Still, there’s absolutely nothing mysterious about the swamp.
