Sokka
- Wan Shi Tong: [to Katara] Your Waterbending won't do you much good here. I've studied Northern Water style, Southern Water style, even Foggy Swamp style.
- Sokka: [drops from the ceiling and knocks him out with a heavy book] That's called Sokka style. Learn it!
- Sokka: Then it's settled. Aang, I do believe it's my turn. I'd like to spend my vacation at the *library*!
- Toph Beifong: Uh, hey, what about me? When do I get to pick?
- Sokka: You've got to work here a little longer before you qualify for vacation time.
- Toph Beifong: Hmph!
- Wan Shi Tong: I'll let you peruse my vast collection on one condition. To prove your worth as scholars, you have to contribute some worthwhile knowledge.
- Professor Zei: [Kneels on the ground, offering a thick book] Please accept this tome as a donation to your library.
- Wan Shi Tong: First edition, very nice.
- Katara: [Katara comes forward] I have an authentic Waterbending scroll.
- Wan Shi Tong: Ooh, these illustrations are quite stylish.
- Aang: [Thinking about what to give] Uh, oh, I know! Ha!
- [pulls a scroll from his shirt and presents it, revealing it to be a Fire Nation wanted poster for the Avatar]
- Wan Shi Tong: I suppose that counts.
- Sokka: Oh, great spirit, check this out.
- [quickly ties the string into a butterfly shaped knot and holds it out]
- Sokka: Ta da!
- [Wan Shi Tong stares in silence]
- Sokka: It's a special knot! That counts as knowledge!
- Wan Shi Tong: You're not very bright, are you?
- Wan Shi Tong: You betrayed my trust. From the beginning, you intended to misuse this knowledge for evil purposes.
- Sokka: You don't understand. If anyone's evil, it's the Fire Nation! You saw what they did to your library. They're destructive and dangerous. We need this information!
- Wan Shi Tong: You think you're the first person to believe their war was justified? Countless others before you have come here, seeking weapons, weaknesses or battle strategies!
- Aang: We had no choice. Please, we're just desperate to protect the people we love!
- Wan Shi Tong: And now I'm going to protect what I love.
- [the library starts to shake]
- Aang: What are you doing?
- Wan Shi Tong: I'm taking my knowledge back. No one will ever abuse it again!
- Sokka: Even if you do master all of the elements, then what? It's not like we have a map of the Fire Nation. Should we just head west until we reach the Fire Lord's house? Knock, knock. Hello, Fire Lord? Anybody home? I don't think so. We need some intelligence if we're going to win this war.
- Katara: All right, we'll finish our vacations and then we'll look for Sokka's intelligence.
- Katara: Hey, wait. What happened to the Sun?
- Aang: Great, you must have broken it.
- Sokka: It's not broken. The sun is behind the moon. It's a solar eclipse! It's literally the darkest day in Fire Nation history. Now I get it. Something awful happened on that day. I don't know what, but I do know why. Firebenders lose their Bending during a solar eclipse!
