Unexpected Reactions to a Small Dragon
Gobber
Meet the Terrible Terror!
Tuffnut
Ha! That's like the size of my-- AAH! OH, GET IT OFF! OH, I AM HURT! I AM VERY MUCH HURT! Wow, he's better than you ever were.
[''the Terror leaps onto his face''; ''The Terrible Terror chases a shiny light created by Hiccup's shield back into the enclosure''; ''to Astrid, while she glares'']

Disagreement Over Dragon Characteristics
Fishlegs
Razor-sharp serrated teeth that inject venom for pre-digestion... prefers ambush attack, crushing its victims...
Hiccup
Will you please stop that?!

Conflict Over Dragon's Nest Discovery
Astrid
No! No, it totally makes sense! It's like a giant beehive. They're the workers, and that's their queen. It controls them. Let's find your dad.
[She dismounts from Toothless' back and runs toward the village]
Hiccup
No, no! They'll kill Toothless, no. Astrid, we need to think this through. Carefully.
[Also dismounts and stops Astrid]
Astrid
Hiccup, we just discovered the Dragon's Nest. The thing we've been after since Vikings first sailed here! And you want to keep it a secret? To protect your pet dragon? Are you serious?
Hiccup
Yes.
[looks at her with hardened expression]
Astrid
Okay. Then what do we do?
Hiccup
Just give me until tomorrow. I'll figure something out.
Astrid
Okay. That's for kidnapping me. That's for... everything else.
[punches Hiccup's arm; Hiccup and Toothless exchange confused looks. Astrid leans forward and quickly kisses him on the cheek]
Hiccup
Are you--What are you lookin at?
[blushingly watches her walk away and Toothless walks beside him giving a smile; stammers]

Dragons' Limited Shots Explained
Gobber
All dragons have a limited number of shots! How many does a Gronckle have?
Snotlout
Uh, five?!
Fishlegs
No, six!
Gobber
Correct! Six! That's one for each of you! Fishlegs, out.

Gobber's Thoughts on Sock-Stealing Trolls

Trolls exist! They steal your socks. But only the left ones. What's with that?

Hiccup's Determination to Prove Himself
Hiccup
Aw, come on! Let me out, please! I need to make my mark!
Gobber
Oh, you've made plenty of marks. All in the wrong places!
Hiccup
Please, two minutes. I'll kill a dragon, my life will get infinitely better. I might even get a date!
Gobber
You can't lift a hammer. You can't swing an axe. You can't even throw one of these!
[holds up a set of bolas, which a Viking snatches and throws at a Gronckle]
Hiccup
Okay, fine. But this... will throw it for me.
[gestures to a catapult invention; touches the machine and it goes off, firing a set of bolas out the window that hits a Viking]
Gobber
Now, this right here... ...is what I'm talking about!
[gestures to Hiccup's invention]
Hiccup
It's a... mild calibration issue--
Gobber
Don't--no--Hiccup. If you ever want to get out there to fight dragons, you need to stop all... this.
[gestures to all of Hiccup]
Hiccup
But you just pointed to all of me!
Gobber
Yes! That's it! Stop being all of you.
Hiccup
Ohh...
[nodding and glaring at Gobber]
Gobber
Oh, yes.
Hiccup
You-you, sir, are playing a dangerous game. Keeping this much raw... "Viking-ness" contained? THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES!
[awkwardly, but standing his ground]
Gobber
I'll take my chances. Sword. Sharpen. Now.
[flatly; tosses him a sword]
Hiccup
One day I'll get out there. Because killing a dragon is everything around here. A Nadder head is sure to get me at least noticed. Gronkles are tough. Taking down one of those would definitely get me a girlfriend. A Zippleback? Exotic. Two heads, twice the status. And then there's the Monstrous Nightmare. Only the best Vikings go after those. They have this nasty habit of setting themselves on fire.
[voice-over]
Stoick
Reload! I'll take care of this.
[calmly]
Hiccup
But the ultimate prize is the dragon no one's ever seen. We call it the--
[voice-over]
Viking 1
NIGHT FURY!
Viking 2
GET DOWN!
Stoick
JUMP!
[To his other men]
Hiccup
This thing never steals food, never shows itself, and never misses. No one has ever killed a Night Fury. That's why I'm gonna be the first.

Facing Challenges with Support and Encouragement
Hiccup
I knew it... I'm dead.
[seeing the newly reformed Berk]
Stoick
No, but you gave it your best shot. So, what do you think?
[chuckling]
Viking
Look, it's Hiccup!
Stoick
Turns out all we needed was a little more of... this.
[points to Hiccup]
Hiccup
You just gestured to all of me.
[surprised]
Gobber
Well, most of you. That bit's my handiwork. With a little Hiccup flair thrown in! You think it'll do?
[gestures to Hiccup's peg leg]
Hiccup
I might make a few tweaks.
[looks at it; jokes]
Astrid
That's for scaring me!
Hiccup
Wha-what?! What, is it always gonna be this way? Cause-- I could get used to it.
[shocked; Astrid cuts him off by kissing him on the lips. Hiccup's expression changes to one of pleasant surprise.]

Challenging Perceptions of Dragons and Conflict
Stoick
What's he doing?
Hiccup
It's okay. It's okay. I'm not one of them.
[to Hookfang; takes his hat off and throws it aside]
Stoick
Stop the fight.
Hiccup
NO! I need you all to see this. They're not what we think they are. We don't have to kill them.
Stoick
I SAID, STOP THE FIGHT!!!
[whacks his hammer on the ring cage railing with a loud clang, which startles Hookfang into attacking Hiccup]
Stoick
Get out of my way!

Stoick
What the (no voice recording when he said this)
Tuffnut
LOOK AT US WE'RE ON A DRAGON, WE'RE ON DRAGONS ALL OF US.
Hiccup
Up, let's move it.
Gobbler
Every bit the boar-headed stubborn Viking you ever were.
Hiccup
Fishlegs break it down.
Fishlegs
Okay, heavily armoured skull and tail made for bashing and crushing, steer clear of both, small eyes, large nostrils, relies on hearing and smell.
Hiccup
Okay, left, legs, hang in his blind spot make some noise keep it confused, Ruff Tuff find out if it has a shot limit make it mad.
Ruffnut
That's my specialty!
Tuffnut

Struggling with Choices and Consequences
Astrid
It's a mess. You must feel horrible. You've lost everything. Your father, your tribe, your best friend...
Hiccup
Thank you for summing that up. Why couldn't I have killed that dragon when I found him in the woods? It would've been better. For everyone.
[sadly]
Astrid
Yep. The rest of us would have done it. So why didn't you? Why didn't you?
[Hiccup doesn't answer]
Hiccup
I don't know. I couldn't.
Astrid
That's not an answer.
Hiccup
Why is this so important to you all of a sudden?
[irate]
Astrid
Because I want to remember what you say, right now.
Hiccup
Oh, for the love of - I was a coward! I was weak! I wouldn't kill a dragon.
[angrily]
Astrid
You said "wouldn't" that time.
Hiccup
Whatever! I wouldn't! Three hundred years, and I'm the first Viking who wouldn't kill a dragon.
[snaps]
Astrid
First to ride one, though. So...?
Hiccup
I wouldn't kill him... because he looked as frightened as I was. I looked at him, and I saw myself.
Astrid
I bet he's really frightened now. What are you going to do about it?
Hiccup
Eh, probably something stupid.
Astrid
Good, but you've already done that.
Hiccup
Then something crazy.
[smiles, getting an idea; runs off]
Astrid
That's more like it.
[smiles; follows him]

Sibling Tensions Over Shields and Flowers
Tuffnut

Ruffnut
There's, like, a million shields!
Tuffnut
Take that one. It has a flower on it. Girls like flowers.
Ruffnut
Oops! Now this one has blood on it.

Excitement and Anticipation for Dragon Training
Gobber
WELCOME TO DRAGON TRAINING!
Astrid
No turning back.
Tuffnut
I hope I get some serious burns!
Ruffnut
I'm hoping for some mauling, like on my shoulder or lower back.
Astrid
Yeah, it's only fun if you get a scar out of it.
[''wryly'']
Hiccup
Yeah, no kidding, right? Pain, love it.
[''entering behind the others; unenthusiastic'']
Tuffnut
Oh, great! Who let him in?
Gobber
Let's get started! The recruit who does best will win the honor of killing his first dragon in front of the entire village.
Snotlout
Hiccup already killed a Night Fury, so does that disqualify him, or...?
[mockingly]
Tuffnut
Can I switch classes with the cool Vikings?
Gobber
Don't worry, you're small and weak. That'll make you less of a target. They'll see you as sick or insane and go after the more Viking-like teens instead. Behind these doors are just a few of the many species you will learn to fight! The Deadly Nadder.
[aside, to Hiccup; aloud, to the other teens]
Fishlegs
Speed 8, Armor 16.
Gobber
The Hideous Zippleback.
Fishlegs
Plus 11 stealth times 2.
Gobber
The Monstrous Nightmare.
Fishlegs
Firepower 15.
Gobber
The Terrible Terror.
Fishlegs
Attack 8! Venom 12!
Gobber
CAN YOU STOP THAT?! And the... Gronckle.
[''irritated'']
Fishlegs
Jaw strength 8.

Muscle Humor in a Dragon Training Scene
Gobber
Oh, nice of you to join the party! I thought you'd been carried off.
Hiccup
What, who, me? No, come on; I'm way too muscular for their taste. They wouldn't know what to do with all... this.
[flexing]
Gobber
Well, they need toothpicks, don't they?

A Son's Decision on Dragons
Stoick
Hiccup.
Hiccup
Dad! Uh, I have to talk to you, Dad.
Stoick
I need to speak with you too, son.
Hiccup
I've decided I don't want to fight dragons.
Stoick
I think it's time you learned to fight dragons.
Hiccup and Stoick
What?
[beat]
Stoick
Uh, you go first.
Hiccup
No, no, you go first.
[kindly]
Stoick
Alright. You get your wish. Dragon Training. You start in the morning.
[takes another deep breath]
Hiccup
Oh, man, I should have gone first! Uh, because I was thinking, you know, we have a surplus of dragon-fighting Vikings. But do we have enough bread-making Vikings? Or small home repair Vikings?
[panicked]
Stoick
You'll need this.
[not paying attention; drops a large battle axe into Hiccup's arms]
Hiccup
I don't wanna fight dragons.
Stoick
Oh, come on. Yes, you do.
[chuckles]
Hiccup
Rephrase: Dad, I can't kill dragons!
Stoick
But you will kill dragons!
Hiccup
No, I'm really very extra sure that I won't.
Stoick
It's time, Hiccup.
Hiccup
Can you not hear me?!
[desperately]
Stoick
This is serious, son! When you carry this axe, you carry all of us with you. Which means you walk like us, you talk like us, you think like us. No more of... this.
[takes the axe from Hiccup; returns the axe; gestures to Hiccup]
Hiccup
You just gestured to all of me.
[sighs]
Stoick
Deal?
Hiccup
This conversation is feeling very one-sided...
Stoick
Deal?
Hiccup
Deal.
[sighs; giving in]

A Father's Apology and Understanding
Hiccup
You got it, bud.
[mounts Toothless]
Stoick
Hiccup! I'm sorry... For--For everything.
[grabs Hiccup's hand; Hiccup turns]
Hiccup
Yeah, me too.
Stoick
You don't have to go up there.
Hiccup
We're Vikings. It's an occupational hazard.
Stoick
I'm proud to call you my son.
[takes his hand]
Hiccup
Thanks, Dad.
Astrid
He's up! Get Snotlout out of there!
[sees Hiccup]
Twins
I'm on it!
Tuffnut
I'm on it first! I'm ahead of you!
[arguing]
Ruffnut
Hey! let me drive!
[arguing]
Tuffnut
No, this way, don't push me
[arguing]
Ruffnut
Stop it, I'll take your teeth out
[arguing]
Tuffnut
Aw, I can't believe that worked!
Gobber
NIGHT FURY! Get down!
[Red Death pushes Astrid off her dragon and she falls, screaming, until Toothless saves her]
Hiccup
Did you get her?
[Toothless looks upside down to see if he saved Astrid. Then he safely puts her down]
Astrid
Go.
Hiccup
That thing has wings! Okay, let's see if it can use them!
Hiccup
You think that did it?
Hiccup
Well he can fly.
Crowd
WOOOOOOOOOOOO! Yeah! GO HICCUP!
Hiccup
Okay Toothless, time to disappear! Come on, bud!
Hiccup
Here it comes!
Hiccup
Watch out!
Hiccup
Okay, times up! Let's see if this works. COME ON! IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO?!
Hiccup
Stay with me, buddy. We're good. Just a little bit longer.
Hiccup
Hold Toothless...
Hiccup
NOW!
Hiccup
No! NO!
[runs into Red Death's clubbed tail; collides with Red Death's clubbed tail and falls off]
Stoick
Hiccup! HICCUP?! SON! Hiccup. Oh, son... I did this. I'm s... I'm so sorry. Hiccup! Oh, he's alive! You brought him back alive! Thank you for saving my son.
[sees Toothless but with Hiccup nowhere to be found; kneeling beside Toothless; Toothless stirs and opens his eyes, looking at Stoick; close to tears; Toothless lifts his wings, revealing Hiccup clutched in his paws; picks him up, puts an ear to his chest and laughs with relief; the Vikings cheer and Stoick puts a hand on Toothless' head]
Gobber
Well... you know, most of him.
[comes over; grimacing]

Finding the Blind Spot in Dragons
Gobber
Look for its blind spot! Every dragon has one. Find it, hide in it, and strike!
Ruffnut
Ugh! Do you ever bathe?
Tuffnut
If you don't like it, then just get your own blind spot!
Ruffnut
How about I give you one?!
Gobber
Blind spot, yes. Deaf spot? Not so much.
Hiccup
Hey, hey! So, uh, how would one sneak up on a Night Fury?
Gobber
No one's ever met one and lived to tell the tale. Now GET IN THERE!!!
[''shouts'']
Hiccup
I know, I know, but hypothetically.

Strategies for Defeating Dragons in Battle
Gobber
And with one twist, he took my hand and swallowed it whole! And I saw the look on his face. I was delicious! He must have passed the word, because it wasn't a month before another one of them took my leg.
[''telling a story'']
Fishlegs
Isn't it weird to think that your hand was inside a dragon? Like, if your mind was still in control of it, you could have killed the dragon from the inside, by... crushing its heart, or something.
Snotlout
I swear I'm so ANGRY right now! I'll avenge your beautiful hand and your beautiful foot! I'll chop off the legs of every dragon I fight. With my face!
Gobber
Mm-mm-mm, no. It's the wings and the tails you really want. If it can't fly, it can't get away. A downed dragon is a dead dragon.

Family Traits and Communication Challenges
Hiccup
I really did hit one.
Gobber
Sure, Hiccup.
Hiccup
He never listens.
[about his father]
Gobber
It runs in the family.
Hiccup
And when he does, it's always with this disappointed scowl, like someone skimped on the meat in his sandwich. "Excuse me, barmaid! I'm afraid you brought me the wrong off spring! I ordered an extra-large boy with beefy arms, extra guts, and glory on the side! This here, this is a talking fish-bone!
[imitating his father]
Gobber
Now, you're thinking about this all wrong. It's not so much what you look like. It's what's inside that he can't stand.
Hiccup
Thank you for summing that up.
[sarcastically]
Gobber
Look, the point is, stop trying so hard to be something you're not.
Hiccup
I just wanna be one of you guys.
[goes inside his house, then goes out the back door, out of his village, to look for Toothless]

Astrid's Determination in the Competition
Astrid
Stay out of my way! I'm winning this thing.
[runs off]
Hiccup
Good, please, by all means.
[after she has already left]
Astrid
This time. This time, for sure!
Astrid
NO!!! NO!! SON OF A HALF-TROLL, RAT-EATING, MUD-BUCKET!!!
[furiously, wildly swinging her axe]
Hiccup
So, later!

Oh-oh, not so fast!

What?! Late for what, exactly?
[livid, jams her axe into his throat]
Stoick
Okay, quiet down. The Elder has decided.
[angrily; lose in patience]
Gobber
You've done it! You've done it, Hiccup! You get to kill the dragon!
Hiccup
Oh, yeah! Yes! I can't wait. I am so... ...LEAVING! We're leaving. Let's pack up. Looks like you and me are taking a little vacation, forever. Ah, man... AH! What the-- I mean, uh, What are you doing here?
Astrid
I want to know what's going on. No one just gets as good as you do. Especially you. Start talking! Are you training with someone?
Hiccup
Training?
Astrid
It better not involve this!
Hiccup
I know this looks really bad, but you see...this is, uh... You're right! You're right! You're right. I'm through with the lies. I've been making... outfits. So, you got me. It's time everyone knew. Drag me back. Go ahead. Here we go. OW! Why would you DO that?!
Astrid
That's for the lies. And THAT'S for everything else.
Hiccup
Oh, man.
[in pain]
Astrid
Get down! RUN! RUN!
Hiccup
NO! No. It's okay! It's okay... she's a friend. It's okay. You just scared him.
[to Astrid]
Astrid
I scared him?! Who... is "him?
[pause]
Hiccup
Uh, Astrid, Toothless. Toothless, Astrid. Da, da-da, we're dead! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Where do you think you're going?
[Toothless growls menacingly at her. Astrid stares at the two in disbelief, then runs off to tell the village.; Toothless shrugs and walks away]
Astrid
AH! Oh, Great Odin's ghost! Oh, this is it! Hiccup! Get me down from here!
[hanging from a tree branch]
Hiccup
You have to give me a chance to explain!
[pleading]
Astrid
I am not listening to anything you have to say!!
Hiccup
Then I won't speak. Just let me show you. Please, Astrid.

Astrid
Now, get me down.
Hiccup
Toothless, down. Gently. See? Nothing to be afraid of. WHOA!! TOOTHLESS! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! BAD DRAGON! He's not usually like this. Oh no.

Astrid
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Hiccup
Toothless, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! We need her to LIKE us. And now, the spinning. Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile.

A Lesson in Fatherly Advice
Stoick
When I was a boy...
Gobber
Oh, here we go.
Stoick
My father told me to bang my head against a rock. So I did it! I thought he was crazy, but I didn't question him. And you know what happened?
Gobber
You got a headache.
[sarcastically]
Stoick
That rock split in two. It taught me what a Viking can do, Gobber. He can... He can crush mountains, level forests, tame seas! Even as a boy, I knew who I was, what I had to become... Hiccup is not that boy.
Gobber
You can't stop him, Stoick. You can only prepare him. I know it seems hopeless, but the truth is, you won't always be around to protect him. He's going to get out there again. He's probably out there now.

Confrontation Over Hidden Truths

Stoick
Nothing happens on this island without me hearing about it.
Hiccup
Oh?
Stoick
So let's talk...about that dragon.
Hiccup
Oh, gods... Dad, I'm so sorry, I-I was going to tell you, I just didn't know how to, uh... You're... you're not... upset?
[''Stoick suddenly laughs heartily; Hiccup nervously laughs along'']
Stoick
WHAT? I was hoping for this!
[''still heartily'']
Hiccup
Uh...You were?
[''confused'']
Stoick
And believe me, it only gets better! Just wait til you spill a Nadder's guts for the first time! And mount your first Gronckle head on a spear. Oh, WHAT A FEELING! You really had me going there, son! All those years of the worst Viking Berk has ever seen! Odin, it was rough. I almost gave up on you, and all the while, you were holding out on me! OH, THOR ALMIGHTY! Oh! With you doing so well in the ring... we finally have something to talk about.

Father-Son Conflict Over Responsibility and Priorities
Hiccup
...Okay, but I hit a Night Fury. It's not like the last few times, Dad! I mean, I really actually hit it! You guys were busy, and I had a very clear shot. It went down just off Raven Point. Let's get a search party out there before it--
[Stoick angrily grabs him by the collar of his shirt and drags him away]
Stoick
Stop! Just stop! Every time you step outside, disaster falls! Can you not see that I have bigger problems?! Winter is almost here, and I have an entire village to feed!
[shouts angrily; Hiccup stops]
Hiccup
Well, between you and me, the village could do with a little less feeding, don't you think?
[lowers his voice]
Stoick
This isn't a joke, Hiccup! Why can't you follow the simplest orders?
[sighs]
Hiccup
I-I can't stop myself! I see a dragon and I have to just kill it. You know? It's who I am, Dad.
Stoick
You are many things, Hiccup. But a dragon killer is not one of them. Get back to the house.

Hiccup's Absence Sparks Mixed Reactions
Gobber

Ruffnut
Uh, he showed up?
Tuffnut

Astrid
He's never where he should be.
Gobber
Thank you, Astrid. You need to live and breathe this stuff. The Dragon Manual. Everything we know about every dragon we know of. No attacks tonight. Hurry up.
[throws the Dragon Manual on the table; ''listens to the thunder'']
Tuffnut
Wait, you mean read?
Ruffnut
While we're still alive?
Snotlout
Why read words when you can just kill the stuff the words tell you stuff about?
Fishlegs
Oh, I've read it like seven times! There's this water dragon that sprays boiling water at your face! And-and there's this other one that buries itself for like a week-
[''Snotlout, Tuffnut, and Ruffnut stare at him'']
Tuffnut
Yeah, that sounds great. You know, there was a chance I was gonna read that...

A Father's Pride in His Son's Journey
Stoick
Well, I can show my face in public again! If anyone had told me that in just a few short weeks, Hiccup would have gone from, well, being, uh...Hiccup...to placing first in dragon training - well, I would have tied him to a mast and shipped him off, for fear he'd gone mad!

[appears behind Hiccup]

Astrid
I will. Just... promise me it won't go wrong.
Gobber
