WELCOME TO DRAGON TRAINING!
T Tuffnut
[The teens enter the arena and look around in wonder]
I hope I get some serious burns!
R Ruffnut
I'm hoping for some mauling, like on my shoulder or lower back.
[wryly]
Yeah, it's only fun if you get a scar out of it.
[entering behind the others; unenthusiastic]
Yeah, no kidding, right? Pain, love it.
T Tuffnut
Oh, great! Who let him in?
Let's get started! The recruit who does best will win the honor of killing his first dragon in front of the entire village.
[jokingly]
Hiccup already killed a Night Fury, so does that disqualify him, or...?
T Tuffnut
[All of the students, except Hiccup, snicker]
Can I transfer to the class with the cool Vikings?
[aside, to Hiccup]
Don't worry, you're small and you're 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. [aloud, to the other teens] Behind these doors are just a few of the many species you will learn to fight! The Deadly Nadder...
The Hideous Zippleback...
Plus 11 stealth. Times 2.
The Monstrous Nightmare...
[irritated]
CAN YOU STOP THAT?! [calms down] And...the Gronckle.
[whispers to Hiccup]
Jaw strength: 8.
T Tuffnut
[The twins grab the same shield]
Get your hands off my shield!
R Ruffnut
There's, like, a million shields!
T Tuffnut
Take that one. It has a flower on it. Girls like flowers.
R Ruffnut
[hits Tuffnut on the head with the shield]
Oops. Now this one has blood on it.
[After the first day of Dragon Training]
Where did Hiccup go wrong?
R Ruffnut
Uh, he showed up?
T Tuffnut
He didn't get eaten!
He's never where he should be.
Thank you, Astrid. You need to live and breathe this stuff. The dragon manual. [sets the Book of Dragons on the table] Everything we know about every dragon we know of. [listens to the thunder] No attacks tonight. Study up.
T Tuffnut
Wait, you mean, read?
R Ruffnut
While we're still alive?
Why read words when you can just kill the stuff the words tell you stuff about?
Oh, I've read it like seven times! There's this water dragon that sprays boiling water at your face! [Snotlout, Tuffnut, and Ruffnut stare at him] And-and there's this other one that buries itself for like a week-
T Tuffnut
[cuts him off]
Yeah, that sounds great. You know, there was a chance I was gonna read that...
(During "Attack" training)
Look for its blind spot! Every dragon has one. Find it, hide in it, and strike!
R Ruffnut
[Tuffnut and Ruffnut huddle in the Deadly Nadder, Stormfly’s blind spot]
Ugh! Do you ever bathe?
T Tuffnut
You don't like it, then just get your own blind spot!
R Ruffnut
How about I give you one!
[Stormfly notices them and breathes fire. They scream and run for cover.]
Blind spot, yes. Deaf spot? Mmm, not so much.
Hey, hey! So, uh, how would one sneak up on a Night Fury?
No one's ever met one and lived to tell the tale. [barks] Now GET IN THERE!!!
I know, I know. But... hypothetically--
Meet the Terrible Terror!
T Tuffnut
[From a pet door emerges a small, green dragon about the size of a Chihuahua.]
Ha! That's like the size of my-- [the Terror leaps onto his face] AAH! OH, GET IT OFF! [The Terrible Terror chases a shiny light created by Hiccup's shield back into the enclosure] [to Astrid, while she glares] Wow, he's better than you ever were.
[After Stoick rescues Hiccup and Toothless from drowning, Toothless motions to Hiccup]
You got it, bud. [mounts Toothless]
Hiccup! [grabs Hiccup's hand; Hiccup turns] I'm sorry... F-For everything.
You don't have to go up there.
We're Vikings. It's an occupational hazard.
[takes his hand]
I'm proud to call you my son.
[Hiccup and Toothless fly into the sky] [sees Hiccup]
He's up! Get Snotlout out of here!
T Tuffnut
[arguing]
I'm on it first! I'm ahead of you!
R Ruffnut
[arguing]
Hey! let me drive!
T Tuffnut
Aw, I can't believe that worked!
NIGHT FURY! Get down! [Red Death pushes Astrid off her dragon and falls to her death until Toothless saves her]
Did you get her? [Toothless looks upside down to see if he saved Astrid. Then he safely put her down]
[last words]
That thing has wings! Okay, let's see if it can use them! Do you think you can do it? Okay Toothless, time to disappear! Come on, bud! Here it comes! Watch out! Okay, times up! Let's see if this works. COME ON! IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO?! Stay with me, buddy. We're good. Just a little bit longer. Hold, Toothless... NOW! [a spiky ball comes through and hits them] No! NO!
Hiccup! HICCUP?! SON! [sees Toothless but with Hiccup nowhere to be found] Hiccup. [kneeling beside Toothless] Oh, son... I did this. [Toothless stirs and opens his eyes, looking at Stoick] [close to tears] I'm s... I'm so sorry. [Toothless lifts his wings, revealing Hiccup clutched in his arms] Hiccup! [picks him up, puts an ear to his chest and laughs with relief] Oh, he's alive! You brought him back alive! [the Vikings cheer and Stoick puts a hand on Toothless's head] Thank you for saving my son.
[comes over; grimacing]
Well... you know, most of him.
[Hiccup is later seen to have lost his foot during the battle]
