Toph
- [a boy wearing an Aang costume holds his arms out like wings, pretending to fly as he runs past Toph, Zuko, Suki and Sokka in the hallway]
- Kid: Whee-ee-ee!
- Sokka: Suki! What are the chances you can get me backstage? I got some jokes I want to give to the actor me.
- [Suki frowns as she faces him]
- Suki: [seriously] I'm an elite warrior who's trained for many years in the art of stealth.
- [smiles]
- Suki: I think I could get you backstage.
- [they go]
- Toph Beifong: Geez, everyone's getting so upset about their characters. Even *you* seem more down than usual, and that's saying something.
- Zuko: You don't get it. It's different for you. You get a muscly version of yourself taking down ten bad guys at once and making sassy remarks.
- Toph Beifong: Yeah, that's pretty great.
- Zuko: But for me, it takes all the mistakes I've made in my life and shoves them back in my face. My uncle, he's always been on my side, even when things were bad. He was there for me, he taught me so much, and how do I repay him? With a knife in his back! It's my greatest regret, and I may never get to redeem myself.
- Toph Beifong: [sits down next to Zuko] You *have* redeemed yourself to your uncle. You don't realise it, but you already have.
- Zuko: How do you know?
- Toph Beifong: Because I once had a long conversation with the guy, and all he would talk about was you.
- Zuko: [removes his hood] Really?
- Toph Beifong: Yeah, and it was kind of annoying.
- Zuko: Oh, sorry.
- Toph Beifong: [leans on Zuko's shoulder] But it was also very sweet. All your uncle wanted was for you to find your own path and see the light. Now you're here with us. He'd be proud.
- [Zuko smiles until Toph slams her fist into his arm]
- Zuko: [rubs his arm] Ow! What was that for?
- Toph Beifong: That's how I show affection.
- [the boy in the Aang costume returns and stops in front of them]
- Kid: Your Zuko costume's pretty good, but your scar's on the wrong side.
- [leaves]
- Zuko: [grits his teeth] The scar's *not* on the wrong side!
- [pulls his hood up and sulks]
- Toph Beifong: Wait a minute, I sound like... a *guy*. A really buff guy.
- Katara: Well, Toph, what you hear up there is the truth. It hurts, doesn't it?
- Toph Beifong: Are you kidding me? I wouldn't have cast it any other way!
- [giggles]
- Toph Beifong: At least it's not a flying bald lady.
- [Aang frowns]
- Actress Katara: Every day, the world awaits a beacon to guide us, yet none appears. Still, we cannot give up hope, for hope is all we have, and we must never relinquish it, even... even to our dying breath.
- Katara: [not amused] Well, that's just silly. I don't sound like that.
- Toph Beifong: [giggles] Oh, man, this writer's a genius!
- Sokka: This is pathetic! My jokes are way funnier than this.
- Toph Beifong: [giggles] I think he's got you pegged.
- Toph Beifong: Why are we sitting in the nosebleed section? My feet can't see a thing from up here.
- Katara: Don't worry. I'll tell your feet what's happening.
