Roku: After all these years, he was still my best friend and a few months later he was my best man.
Aang: Roku, it's that girl who didn't even know you were alive!
Roku: Ta Min... I was persistent. When love is real, it finds a way... and being the Avatar doesn't hurt your chances with the ladies either.

Roku: It's good to see you, Aang. [He smiles slightly] What took you so long?

Roku: Mastering the elements takes years of discipline and practise. But if the world is to survive, you must do it by summer's end.
Aang: What if I can't master all the elements in time? What if I fail?
Roku: I know you can do it, Aang, for you have done it before.

Security Woman: I told you already: no vegetables on the ferry! One cabbage slug could destroy the entire eco-system of Ba Sing Se! Security!

Sokka to Yue: So it looks like I'm going to be in town for a while. I'm thinking maybe we could ... do an activity together?

Sokka: *Stuffs his mouth with some food, swallows it, then coughs.*
Katara: *Smirking* Very smooth.

Sokka: Great job with the cloud camo, but next time, let's disguise ourselves as the kinda cloud that knows how to keep its mouth shut!
Toph: (sarcastically) Yeah, we wouldn't want a bird to hear us chatting up there and turn us in.
Sokka: (Hushed tone) Hey, we're in enemy territory. Those are enemy birds!
(One bird jumps on Sokka's head and caws, all laugh)

Sokka: Hey, I just got orders. Let all the prisoners out into the yard.
Prison guard: But... we're in the middle of a lockdown.
Sokka: Oh, okay. I'll just tell the warden you said that. I'm sure he will be glad to know about you undermining his authority. What's your name again?
Prison guard: (flailing his arms) Wait. Don't tell the Warden, I... I'm just a little confused.
Sokka: Hey, I'm confused too. But the Warden's in a bad mood and irrational. So if you ask me, it's best not to question it and just do what he says.
Prison guard: Yeah, you're right

Sokka: Oh, good. You guys have met.
Suki: Actually, we met a long time ago.
Zuko: We did?
Suki: Yeah. You kind of burned down my village. (pause)
Zuko: Oh, I'm sorry about that. Nice to see you again.

Sokka: Toph, when I was in town I found something you're not going to like (unfurls a wanted poster)
Toph: Well it sounds like a sheet of paper. But I guess you're referring to what's on the sheet of paper.
Sokka: It's a wanted poster, of you! They've nicknamed you "The Runaway"
Toph: A wanted poster! That's so great! "The Runaway"! I love my new nickname! Is there a picture of me? Does it look good?
Sokka: (looks at the poster) Well yeah, actually, it does look pretty good.
(Later in the episode)
Katara: Where have you two been? Off scamming again?
Toph: Yes, we were.
Katara: Oh really? And you don't think this is dangerous at all?
Toph: No, I don't.
Katara: Well then, what's this? (brandishes the same wanted poster)
Toph: (seriously irritated) I don't know! I mean, seriously, what's with you people?! I'm blind!

Sokka (after finding Pakku married Gran-Gran): Welcome to the family, Gramp-Gramp!
Pakku: You can still just call me Pakku.
Sokka: How about Grampakku?!
Pakku: No.

Sokka (wearing his fake mustache): That's it! No more school for you, young man! (strokes his mustache)
Aang: I'm not ready to leave yet. I'm having fun for once, just being a normal kid. You don't know what it's like, Sokka. You get to be normal all the time.
Toph: Ha ha. (Sokka narrows his eyes at Toph)
Aang: Listen, guys, those kids are the future of the Fire Nation. If we want to change this place for the better, we need to show them a little of freedom.
Sokka: What could you possibly do for a country of depraved little fire monsters?
Aang: I'm gonna throw them... a secret dance party! (Aang does a silly little dance, and everybody stares at him)
Sokka (adult voice): Go to your room!
Aang holds his hand out to Katara, inviting her to dance.

Sokka (wearing his Wang Fire costume ): Why don't you get right down to business, and tell me what's been bothering you?
Aang: You know what's been bothering me. I have face to the Fire Lord in a few days!
Sokka: Mm-hmm. Tell me more about this Fire Lord. Why are you so afraid of him?
Aang: You said it yourself. He's the baddest man on the planet! I'm supposed to defeat and save the world!
Sokka: Mmm. Life does feel that way sometimes, doesn't it? Like we're all trying to save the world from evil?
Aang: Okay, but what can I do to make myself feel better?
Sokka (holding out a koala sheep): Wanna try screaming into this pillow? (Aang takes it, screams, and the sheep baas)

Sokka: (aiming at a small prey animal) You're awfully cute, but unfortunately for you, you're made of meat.

Sokka: (speaking to his father in prison about escaping) And do you know Prince Zuko?
Hakoda: The son of the Fire Lord? I don't know him but I know of him.
Sokka: Well he's here too.
Hakoda: (downcast) Sounds like a major problem.
Sokka: Actually he's on our side now.
(Hakoda looks at him skeptically)
Sokka: I know, I had the same reaction. After all he's done it was really hard trusting him. But he's really proven himself, and I never would have found you without his help.

Sokka: (to Aang, who is playing around) Stop! Stop it right now! What's wrong with you? We don't have time for fun and games with the war going on.
Aang: War? What war?
