A scene from How to Train Your Dragon 2010
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... [gestures to a catapult invention] will throw it for me. [touches the machine and it goes off, firing a set of bolas out the window that hits a Viking]

Gobber

Now, see, this right here... [gestures to Hiccup's invention] ...is what I'm talkin' about!

Hiccup

But, uh... mild calibration issue...

Gobber

Don't you-- No...! Hiccup! If you ever want to get out there to fight dragons, you need to stop all... [gestures to all of Hiccup] this.

Hiccup

But you just pointed to all of me!

Gobber

Yes, that's it. Stop being all of you.

Hiccup

[nodding and glaring at Gobber]

Ohh...

Gobber

Oh, yes.

Hiccup

[awkwardly, but standing his ground]

You-you, sir, are playing a dangerous game. Keeping this much raw... "Viking-ness" contained? THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES!

Gobber

[flatly]

I'll take my chances. [tosses him a sword] Sword. Sharpen. Now.

Hiccup

[voice-over]

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.

Stoick

[A fiery Monstrous Nightmare attacks the catapult crew]

Reload! [calmly] I'll take care of this.

Hiccup

[voice-over]

But the ultimate prize is the dragon no one's ever seen... we call it the...

Viking 1

NIGHT FURY!

Viking 2

GET DOWN!

Stoick

[The catapult Stoick and the other men are on suddenly explodes. The Night Fury, Toothless responsible for the explosion shoots by, barely visible.] [To the other men]

Jump!

Hiccup

[voice-over]

This thing never steals food, never shows itself, and [The catapult is blasted once again by Toothless] never misses. No one has ever killed a Night Fury. That's why I'm gonna be the first.
