Quotes 

• Katara : Do you think we'll really find airbenders?

  Sokka : Do you want me to be like you or totally honest?

  Katara : Are you saying I'm a liar?

  Sokka : I'm saying you're an optimist. Same thing, basically.

• [first lines] 

  Storyteller : So travelers, the next time you think you hear a strange, large bird talking, take a closer look. It might not be a giant parrot, but a flying man, a member of a secret group of Airwalkers, who laugh at gravity, and laugh at those bound to the earth by it.

  Aang : [to Katara]  Aren't Airbender stories the best?

  Katara : Was it realistic? Is that how it was back then?

  Aang : I laugh at gravity all the time.

  [laughs] 

  Aang : Gravity.

• Aang : This place is unbelievable.

  Teo : Yeah, it's great, isn't it?

  Aang : [Dejectedly]  No, just unbelievable.

  Katara : Aang used to come here a long time ago. I think he's a little shocked it's so... different.

• Katara : Wait! How do I land this thing? What if I land over an...

  Katara : [starts gagging]  Blech! Bug! Bug! That was a bug!

• Teo : Only an airbender can open it. So inside it's completely untouched, just the way the monks left it. I've always wondered what it was like in there.

  Katara : Aang?

  Aang : I'm sorry. This is the last part of the temple that's the same as it was. I want it to stay that way.

  Teo : I completely understand. I just wanted you to know it was here.

  Aang : Thanks.

• Sokka : See, the problem with the old war balloon was you could get it airborne, but once you did, it just kept going. You could put a hole in the top, but then the hot air would escape. So the question became, how do you keep a lid on the hot air?

  Katara : Ugh. If only we knew.

• Teo : [Prepping Katara for glider flying]  The wind will carry you. It supports something inside you, something even lighter than air. And that something takes over when you fly.

  Katara : [Looking over the side of the terrace in fear]  I've changed my mind. I think I was born without that something.

  Teo : [laughs]  Impossible. Everybody has it.

  Aang : [Coming up to them]  Spirit.

  Teo : What?

  Aang : That's the something you're talking about.

• Katara : I can't believe I'm flying.

  Aang : Just make sure you keep your mouth closed so you don't swallow a bug.
