Episode Quotes
The Boulder: The Boulder feels conflicted about fighting a young blind girl
Toph: Sounds to me like you're scared Boulder!
The Boulder: The Boulder is over his conflicted feelings, and now he is ready to bury you in a rockalanche!
Toph: Whenver you're ready, The Pebble! (laughs)
Sokka: Now I'm really glad I bought this bag. It matches the belt perfectly.
Katara: (sarcastically) That is a big relief.
Toph: What are you doing here Twinkle Toes?
Aang: How did you know it was me?
Sokka: Don't answer to Twinkle Toes, it's not manly!
Katara: You're the one who's bag matches his belt.
Episode Goofs
