[Sokka is hurrying — he's doing his best! This experiment isn't without cause; they need to know if the mannequins can be killed to decide their next steps. If they can be, then it's just a matter of picking them off one by one, as best they can. But if they can't...well, running and hiding and coming up with an alternative plan it is. Which Sokka can do — he'd just rather something be easy for once.
But it turns out it isn't easy. For one, decapitating the mannequin is ridiculously difficult. His boomerang isn't the best weapon for it, and it keeps getting stuck in the plastic. For two, despite the fact that Sokka is literally hacking away at its neck, the mannequin keeps swinging at him — catching him in the side, in the back. And it's strong for being a doll. Ultimately, when he narrowly avoids a blow to the head, Sokka has to give up. The mannequin is mostly decapitated at this point, anyway, and it's clear that it hasn't slowed down at all as a result.]
I'm done, I'm done! [Sokka yells back as he yanks his boomerang free one final time, rolling off of the mannequin and out of the way of another strike. He's on his feet quickly, all but barreling into the woman as he guides her toward — somewhere else, he isn't exactly sure where they are going, considering this is his first time in a department store. But that's okay, they're going away, trying to leave the group of mannequins behind.] This way! [Said with more confidence than he feels as he turns back to throw his boomerang at the group that she managed to stagger with the clothes rack, seeking to keep them at bay before they regain momentum.] Knock down anything you can! [He quickly gestures to a display rack, hoping that a mess of objects will slow the mannequins down; he can't knock it over himself because he's too busy catching his boomerang as it returns.]
