[If nothing else, Sokka is enjoying the friendly banter between him and Tony. Not only does it (oddly enough) help him work, it also helps him feel like he's got a common rapport with a new friend, and that makes this turtle-place pretty bearable indeed.]

What would they do? Kick you out of your presidency? You could probably start up a rival company, make them go bankrupt, and then rehire everyone as your own company. [Of course, doing that in all honesty would take a little more time than is worth. And probably a lot more money. But theoretically, it is possible.] Might not be the best way to get people to like you, but it'd let them know who's the boss.

[At any rate, Sokka assembles the last few pieces of his radio as they're talking, and, after one last good eye of the device, he steps away from the table.]

Aaaaannnnnd done.
