Oh, I have my ways of knowing things. [In fairness, just as many where there at that moment when Kyoshi made Kyoshi Island, so too was Sokka there when he founded the seed that would eventually become the United Republic. As for the statue, he found out about that when Ikki disappeared back to their home world; it was the most amazing present he could have found out, that he'd one day become important.]

Only if someone makes the one outside our house bigger too! Ooh, and maybe one in the central square, just about the fountain. A stream of water could come shooting out of my mouth!

[Behold Sokka's dream world. But until then, "people of action"? Sokka nods his head confidently in agreement.]

People of actions. Yes. It's time to go back! To Avatar House! [he cries aloud, for some reason holding up his boomerang in the air as he does so. He's now a little fired up.]
