- Guru Pathik: Oh dear. You've been through so much recently. Hurt and betrayed. So twisted up inside. You're still full of love. Ah. But fear has moved in where trust should be. I've been expecting you and the young Avatar for quite a long time. I had a vision many years ago of helping him. That's why I came to the Eastern Air Temple. Oh your emotions are so turbulent. Like swirling storm clouds. Let the clouds in your mind be gentle, peaceful ones.
- Female Airbender: Choose well. A sky bison is a companion for life.
- Guru Pathik: I know I'm not the person you expected. And I didn't expect to be licked by a giant tongue just now. Ah, the world is full of surprises.

- Guru Pathik: You and the Avatar's energies are mixed. You have an unbreakable bond. By reading your energy, I can sense where Aang is.
- [Appa licks Pathik]
- Guru Pathik: Funny, what invisible strings connect us all. I'll see you again, great beast.
- Suki: No sudden movements. He's been lost for awhile and he look like he's hurt. He's shy around people and scared. Stay low and stay quiet.
- Kyoshi Warrior: I can't believe you found the Avatar's bison. Didn't you just see the Avatar a few days ago?
- Suki: Yes, so he can't be too far from here. It's our responsibility to get Appa back to him safely. This could be our most important mission yet.

- Ghashiun: Ransack his saddle! Who know what treasures are stashed in there! He's tied up good. He can't hurt you.
