• Toph : Hey, wait a minute. Has anyone noticed that Momo is missing, too?

  Sokka : Oh, no! I knew it was only a matter of time! Appa ate Momo!

  [crawling into Appa's mouth] 

  Sokka : Momo, I'm coming for you, buddy.

  Katara : Sokka, Appa didn't eat Momo. He's probably with Aang.

  Sokka : That's just what Appa wants you to think.

  [he squirms further into Appa's mouth] 

  Prince Zuko : Get out of the bison's mouth, Sokka!. We have a real problem here. Aang is nowhere to be found, and the comet is only two days away.

• Katara : I have a surprise for everyone!

  Toph : I knew it! You *did* have a secret thing with Haru!

  Katara : Uh, no. I was looking for cooking pots in the attic, and I found this!

  [she holds up a painting of a baby] 

  Katara : Look at Baby Zuko! Isn't he cute?

  [the others giggle and "aw"; Zuko is silent] 

  Katara : [to Zuko]  Oh, lighten up. I was just teasing.

  Prince Zuko : That's not me. It's my father.

  Suki : But he looks so sweet and innocent.

  Prince Zuko : Well, that sweet little kid grew up to be a monster, and the worst father in the history of fathers.

• Katara : [about Aang]  Then he's got to be somewhere on Ember Island. Let's split up and look for him.

  Toph : I'm going with Zuko!

  [the rest look at her curiously] 

  Toph : What? Everyone else went on a life-changing field trip with Zuko. Now it's my turn.

• Toph Beifong : [Walking with Zuko, looking for Aang]  ... And then when I was nine, I ran away again.

  Prince Zuko : [Not really paying attention]  Uh-huh.

  Toph Beifong : I know I shouldn't complain, my parents gave me everything that I ever asked for. But they never gave me the one thing that I really wanted. Their love. You know what I mean?

  Prince Zuko : Look, I know you had a rough childhood but we should really focus on finding Aang.

  [walks on] 

  Toph Beifong : [to herself]  This is the worst fieldtrip ever.

• Aang : [about Sokka's sand sculpture]  Is that a... blubbering blob monster?

  Sokka : No! It's Suki!

  [Aang and Toph laugh] 

  Toph : Suki, we'll all understand if you break up with him over this.

  Suki : I think it's sweet.

  [Sokka kisses her] 

• Katara : What's wrong with you? You could've hurt Aang.

  Prince Zuko : What's wrong with me? What's wrong with all of you? How can you sit around having beach parties when Sozin's Comet is only three days away...? Why are you all looking at me like I'm crazy?

  Aang : About Sozin's Comet... I was actually gonna wait to fight the Fire Lord until after it came.

  Prince Zuko : After?

  Aang : I'm not ready. I need more time to master Firebending.

  Toph : And frankly, your Earthbending could still use some work, too.

• Katara : Aang, you don't have to do this alone.

  Toph Beifong : Yeah, if we all fight the Fire Lord together, we got a shot at taking him down.

  Sokka : All right! Team Avatar is back! Air, Water, Earth, Fire... Fan and Sword!

  Aang : Fighting the Fire Lord is gonna be the hardest thing we've ever done together, but I wouldn't want to do it any other way.

• [In front of a melon with a face carved into it, which has been placed on top of a stick] 

  Sokka : Gather round, Team Avatar. In order to take out the Fire Lord, or, in this case, the Melon Lord, our timing has to be perfect. First, Suki and I will draw his fire. Then, Katara and Zuko charge in with some liquidy hot offense, and while the Melon Lord is distracted, Aang swoops in and Bam! He delivers the final blow.

  Toph : Uh... what about me?

  Sokka : For now, you're the Melon Lord's forces.

  Toph : So I get to chuck flaming rocks at all of you?

  Sokka : Whatever makes the training feel more realistic.

  Toph : [smiles]  Sweetness.
