• [Aang has just raised a huge mushroom cloud in the distance] 

  Katara : What *is* that?

  Toph Beifong : What? What is what?

  Sokka : [high on cactus juice]  It's a giant mushroom. Maybe it's friendly!

  Katara : Let's just keep moving. I hope Aang's okay.

  Sokka : [dancing]  Friendly mushroom! Mushy giant friend!

• [last lines] 

  Toph : You said to put a muzzle on him.

  Aang : You muzzled Appa?

  [Starts entering the Avatar state] 

  Ghashiun : I'm sorry. I didn't know it belonged to the Avatar.

  Toph : Tell me where Appa is!

  Ghashiun : I traded him... to some merchants. He's probably in Ba Sing Se by now. They were going to sell him there. Please, we'll escort you out of the desert. We'll help however we can.

  Sokka : [Sokka realizes Aang hasn't calmed down]  Just get out of here. Run!

• Katara : Sokka, wait! You shouldn't be eating strange plants!

  Sokka : Mmm, mmm... ah! There's water trapped inside these.

  Katara : I don't know.

  Sokka : Suit yourself. It's very thirst-quenching, though.

  [Suddenly Sokka's eyes start twitching, pupils dilate, and he starts acting crazy] 

  Sokka : [distorted]  Drink cactus juice. It'll quench ya. Nothing is quenchier. It's the quenchiest!

  Katara : Okay, I think you've had enough.

  Sokka : Who lit Toph on fire?

  Toph : Can I get some of that cactus?

  Katara : I don't think that's a good idea. Come on, we need to find Aang.

  Sokka : How did we get out here in the middle of the ocean?

• Toph Beifong : Yesterday my mouth tasted like mud. Now it just tastes like sand. I never thought I'd miss the taste of mud so much.

• [Sokka stops walking and Toph bumps into him] 

  Sokka : Can't you watch where you're...?

  Toph : No.

  Sokka : Right, sorry.

• [first lines] 

  Aang : How could you let them take Appa? Why didn't you stop them?

  Toph Beifong : I couldn't. The library was sinking. You guys were still inside and...

  Aang : You could have come to get us! I could have saved him!

  Toph Beifong : I can hardly feel any vibrations out here. The Sandbenders snuck up on me and there wasn't time for...

  Aang : You just didn't care! You never liked Appa! You wanted him gone.

• Toph Beifong : Is there any more water?

  Katara : This is the last of it. Everyone can have a little drink.

  [Katara opens her water flask and bends out an orb of water. Momo leaps at the water and tries to drink it, causing it to fall to the sand below] 

  Sokka : Momo, no! You've killed us all!

  Katara : No, he hasn't.

  [Katara places her hand over the moist sand and bends the water out of it] 

  Sokka : Oh, right. Bending.
