Hiccup quotes from How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019)

There were dragons, when I was a boy.

Oh, Now you can draw...

You brought a baby to a battle?

Save him.

See? I knew you'd come around!

Go on, bud. Lead them to the Hidden World.

Hiccup. This is Berk, son. It's our home. It was the home of your grandparents, and their grandparents before them. And it's my job as chief to protect us, Hiccup. And one day, when you're all grown up, that job will be passed on to you.

Okay.

And it's very important, son, because out there, beyond the sunset, lies the home of the dragons.

Wow!

Aye! Legends tell of ships that sailed too close to it, only to drop off the edge of the world. Never to be seen again. [Young Hiccup gasps] But, those sailors who turned back, told tales of a great waterfall and dragons guarding the entrance to a hidden world.

Whoa.

Not just a nest, Hiccup, but a land from which all dragons come.

Even... Night Furies?!

Especially Night Furies.

Those are scary.

Don't you worry. One day, I'll find the Hidden World and seal it up...so that people and dragons will fight no more.

So. Wanna get married?

Uhh... No, actually.

Good news. I've been to two weddings. I crashed both. But none as high profile as this one. Lots of pressure. Judgment. Not just by me.

Look. We talked about it. We're not getting married.

cold feet! I've seen it before. Don't worry, little Hiccy. I'm here.

Wait, Hiccy?

Now, I've seen the way Astrid looks at you. Everyone has that doubt. That not-so-subtle disappointment. That longing for something more than you. You need to focus on being worthy. I mean, she's a warrior queen for Thor's sake! And you are...neither. But with me as your best man, your spirit guide if you will, you'll learn to embrace your inner Viking. Show these nay sayers, of which there are many, that you are more than just a malnourished runt with bad hair, strange teeth and a twig for a neck.

You're-you're really bad at pep talks.

Stop letting these insecurities get the best of you. [Toothless walks around] Everyone's watching. I mean everyone. You need to man up. Do as I do. It will be hard, but...you have my word. [Hiccup spots a dart] And until I break that word, I won't give up! Hey! Hey! What, am I wasting my time here? You see some shiny thing in the woods- Oh, what is that?

Toothless! [Toothless stops] Don't move a muscle. [Hiccup takes Tuffnut's stick]

Hey!

Someone's here. He managed to slip past our scouts and lay a trap in the woods.

It ruined boy talk! [throws the dart, nearly hit Eret]

Let me at 'em!

Slow down, Gobber. Let's get a search team on the ground. Scouts in the air. Toothless and I will fly the coastline.

Yeah. I wouldn't advise taking Toothless anywhere, Chief. [recognizing a dart] I know this handy work: [remembering] "Grimmel the Grisly". Famous back where I'm from. The smartest dragon hunter I ever met. Well, next to me of course.

Well, he can't be that smart. He left his trap unmanned.

Ha ha. Nothing's accidental when it comes to old Grimmel. He lives for the hunt, to get inside the mind of his prey, to control its every choice. It's all a game to him.

Well, he doesn't know who he's playing with.

Yeah. We've dealt with his kind before.

Don't underestimate him, Hiccup. Mark my words, he'll be back.

Then we'll be waiting for him.

Alright. Alright, come on give me a clue here. Give me a clue, Dad. [hears noises around his house, but sees Grimmel in cloak]

Grimmel

I hope you don't mind if I help myself. This is, uh... quite good. [Hiccup lights up his Inferno] That is impressive. But, let me finish my drink. [shoots a dart at the sleeping Toothless]

Toothless! What did you do to him?

Grimmel

Nothing that he won't sleep off. Ahh. Ha ha. May I? Chief Hiccup, hmm? Do I say Chief Hic-cup or do I just call you Hiccup? What do you prefer? You have no idea who I am, do you? Uh-ha ha. Well, your father knew of me. Now, there was a chief. One of the greatest dragon hunters to have ever lived! What would he think of you? [laughs] He did it right, you know. Making it his mission to destroy the beasts so that you could grow up in a better world.

He changed his mind.

Grimmel

And look where that got him. So, let's get to the point. I am the Night Fury killer. [Hiccup learn about Toothless being a last one] I've hunted every last one, but yours. You are going to give me that dragon. Or I will-

I will never give him up!

Grimmel

You wish dragons to live free among us like equals? A toxic notion, my boy. History has shown that we are the superior species. What if word of your misguided ideas were to spread? It would be the undoing of civilization as we... know it. Hmm. [notices that is not Toothless, revealing Fishlegs hiding under the covers]

Did we get him? [faints]

NOW!

Sorry to barge in!

You think you can come into my home? Sit in my father's chair? And "threaten" my dragon? This is Berk. And we have defended our way of life from far worse than you!

Grimmel

Oh. Ha ha. A fighting spirit, I love it! Only, I'm afraid you're mistaken: You've never seen ANYTHING like ME. [whistles, calling his Deathgrippers to attack the riders and aid him. The Riders takes cover from his dragons and their acids]

ASTRID, LOOK OUT!

Look out! Son, get clear!

RUN! [he, carrying Fishlegs, and Astrid flees]

Grimmel

Have my dragon ready when I return, or I will destroy EVERYTHING YOU LOVE!
[Escaping Hiccup's burning house, seeing Berk on fire, everyone screaming]

Grimmel

Where's your dragon when you need him? Hmm, Chief? Must have forgotten all about you. (laughs) First rule of the hunt Separate the prey from its pack. You've just removed yourselves from the equation.

Why are you doing this?

Grimmel

Really? I didn't think you cared. Well, unlike you, when I was a boy and I came up on a Night Fury, I killed it where it slept! That simple act of courage made me a hero in my village. So, I decided to kill every last one, bringing real peace to the people of this world. Until you came along preaching that dragons are something other than thieves and murderers. Psssh. That nonsense dies now. Starting with you.

But you have dragons of your own.

Grimmel

These?! They're dragon KILLERS. Drugged into obedience with their own venom! Not even your precious Alpha could control them. They serve me... and only me. Allow me to demonstrate. :(whistling his dragons to kill the Dragon Riders)

TAKE COVER!!!!!

(another half time with young Hiccup with Stoick, inside their house at Berk. Stoick cries in front of the fireplace for the loss of his wife, Valka. He spotted Young Hiccup on the stairs.)

Son. (wipes his tears) You should be asleep.

I was thirsty.

Yeah, come here. (Hiccup climbs down stairs and runs to his Dad)

Dad? Are you gonna get us a new Mom?

I don't want another. Your mom was the only woman for me. She was the love of my life. But, with love comes loss, son. It's part of the deal. Sometimes it hurts, but in the end, it's all worth it. There's no greater gift than love.

Woohoo! Yeah!

Ruffnut?

Miss me?

How did you escape?

I annoyed them til they let me go.

Wai-wait... Grimmel LET you go?

So dumb. They couldn't handle me. See, everyone thinks Tuffnut's more annoying but-

But hold on.

Ruffnut, focus! Were you followed?

I never look back, Hiccup.

Toothless! (rushes to save the Furies)
