[ Sokka is sitting cross-legged on his bed, leaning against the wall. There seem to be a few books scattered around next to him as he leans forward to address the camera. The young man scratches at his chin, then speaks. ]

Heeeey, everyone. I've been doing some reading and stuff and I was wondering if there's anyone who could give me a hand, now.

[ He holds up one of the books, the worn and battered volume open to show a diagram of a car's engine. ]

Is there anyone who can show me how to work with an internal combustion engine?

It's not magic! It's science! You make the gasoline explode inside the engine, which turns turbines that make the engine power whatever it is that needs power.

You wanna ride on something that explodes in order to move? [so confused]

[originalgaangster]

Yes.

I actually rode on one with Asami. IT WAS AWESOME!

Sokka, every Fire Nation thing we've ever been on ends up exploding. And now you wanna ride something that's always exploding?

If you rode a motorbike, you'd change your tune. That's all I'm sayin'.

When I ride stuff I can't see. What is a "motorbike," anyway?

A two-wheeled vehicle powered by one of these engines.

Well...... I'm sure you'll have fun with that. Gadgets are your thing, after all.

It's not just a gadget! You can travel faster than--than one of those earth-trains at Ba Sing Se! With an engine! And no bending!

[ So. Excited. ]

If it has to explode to move, I'd hope it'd at least be fast.

[originalgaangster]

Very fast.

Just don't get hurt. I don't wanna deal with Katara.

[also you're important to her too but let's leave that unsaid]

I'm not gonna get hurt! It's just a machine!
