Wait, what is he doing?

First Patrick now this guy... the poles are becoming aware, and no longer at they going to sit as our slaves, holding up our signs on their backs like worth less inanimate objects

That's probably the guy that got so excited when he saw Aang that he started foaming at the mouth.

-Paula, need to talk.
-I don't know how to say this so I'll just go for it.
-We're over Paula. I can't live this anymore.
-Don't look at me like that! You know how hard it is!
-LIES! You never loved me Paula!
-Just, leave me alone.
-Let me die alone.

Maybe he was planing a conversation and knew the end would be bad?
