Astrid
- 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.
- [silence]
- Hiccup: Why couldn't I have killed that dragon when I found him in the woods? Would've been better, for everyone...
- Astrid: Yep. The rest of us would have done it. So why didn't you?
- [pauses]
- Astrid: Why didn't you?
- 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?
- 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!
- Astrid: You said *wouldn't*, that time.
- Hiccup: Agh, whatever... I *wouldn't*! Three hundred years, and I'm the first Viking who wouldn't kill a dragon!
- [pause]
- 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.
- [riding on Toothless's back with Hiccup]
- Astrid: All right, I admit it. This is pretty cool. It's... *amazing*. He's amazing.
- Astrid: [hanging from a tree branch] Hiccup! Get me *down* from here!
- Hiccup: [pleading] You have to give me a chance to explain!
- 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 lifts herself up and gingerly climbs onto Toothless's back]
- Astrid: Now get me down.
- Hiccup: Toothless, down. *Gently.*
- [Toothless spreads his wings, and the wind slowly lifts them into the air]
- Hiccup: See? Nothing to be afraid of...
- [Toothless launches himself into the sky at top speed, Astrid screams]
- Hiccup: Augh! Toothless! What is *wrong* with you? Bad dragon! A-ha, he's uh, he's not usually like this... Oh no...
- [Toothless rolls to the side and dives straight down, plunging in and out of the waves; Astrid screams]
- Hiccup: Toothless, what are you doing, we need her to *like* us!
- [Toothless soars up again and starts doing aileron rolls]
- Hiccup: And now, the spinning. Thank you for *nothing*, you useless reptile!
- Astrid: [terrified] Okay, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Just get me off of this thing!
- [Toothless looks back at her, pleased, then spreads his wings and rises gently into the sky]
- Hiccup: [to Toothless] We're leaving! Let's pack up. Looks like you and me are taking a little vacation. Forever.
- [he bends over his pack]
- Hiccup: Ah man.
- [looking up, he sees Astrid sitting on a boulder, sharpening her axe]
- Hiccup: Agh! What the... uh, uh, what are you doing here?
- Astrid: I want to know what's going on.
- [she jumps down and menaces him with the axe]
- Astrid: No one just *gets* as good as you do. *Especially* you. Start talking! Are you training with someone?
- Hiccup: Uh, uh, training? I didn't...
- Astrid: [grabbing his flight gear] It better not involve *this*...
- Hiccup: I, I know, this... looks really bad, but, you see, this is uh...
- [there's a rustling behind them and she looks over his shoulder toward the noise]
- Hiccup: [trying to distract her] Uh, you're right! You're right, you're right. I, 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...
- [she twists his arm, throwing him to the ground]
- Hiccup: OW! Why would you *do* that?
- Astrid: That's for the lies! And *that's*...
- [she drops the butt of her axe on his chest]
- Astrid: ... for everything else!
- [Toothless emerges a few feet away]
- Hiccup: Oh man...
- Astrid: [gasps and throws them both to the ground] Get down!
- [Toothless charges, she pushes Hiccup away and raises her axe]
- Astrid: RUN! RUN!
- Hiccup: [grabbing the axe and throwing it away] No! No! It's okay, it's okay!
- [to Toothless]
- Hiccup: She's a friend.
- [to Astrid, holding Toothless back]
- Hiccup: You scared him.
- Astrid: *I* scared *him*? Who is "him"?
- Hiccup: Uh... Astrid, Toothless! Toothless, Astrid.
- [Toothless snarls, Astrid shakes her head in bewilderment and runs off]
- Hiccup: Duh-duh-duh, we're dead!
- [during the final rounds of dragon training, Astrid notices Hiccup next to her and yanks his shield down, thrusting her face next to his]
- Astrid: Stay out of my way! I'm winning this thing!
- Hiccup: Uh... please, by all means.
- [Astrid approaches the Gronkle stealthily]
- Astrid: This time! This time, for sure!
- [She springs up and charges with a yell... only to see that Hiccup has already "subdued" it. The crowd cheers]
- Astrid: [swinging her axe wildly in anger] NO! YOU SON OF A HALF-TROLL, RAT-EATING, MUNGE-BUCKET!
- [Hiccup prepares to open one of the dragon pens]
- Fishlegs: If you're planning on getting eaten, I'd definitely go with the Gronkle.
- [Hiccup turns in surprise and sees his entire class lined up behind him]
- Tuffnut: [approaching] You were wise to seek help from the world's most deadly weapon...
- Hiccup: Um...
- Tuffnut: It's me.
- Snotlout: [shoves Tuffnut aside] I love this plan!
- Hiccup: I... didn't...
- Ruffnut: [shoves Snotlout aside] You're crazy!
- [leans in, flirtatiously]
- Ruffnut: I like that...
- Astrid: [firmly yanks her away] So... what is the plan?
- Snotlout: If that dragon shows either of its faces, I'm gonna... there!
- [He and Tuffnut throw their buckets of water]
- Ruffnut, Astrid: AH!
- [the gas clears]
- Ruffnut: Hey! It's us, idiots!
- Tuffnut: Your butts are getting bigger! We thought you were a dragon!
- [laughs]
- Snotlout: Not that there's anything wrong with a dragon-esque fig...
- [Astrid punches Snotlout, Ruffnut throws her bucket at Tuffnut's head]
- Astrid: Careful with that dragon.
- Hiccup: [looking at his father] It's... not the dragon I'm worried about.
- Astrid: What are you gonna do?
- Hiccup: Put an end to this. I have to try. Astrid, if something... goes wrong, just make sure they don't find Toothless.
- Astrid: I will. Just... promise me it won't go wrong.
- [a Gronkle is let out into the training ring]
- Gobber: Today is about survival. If you get blasted, you're dead. Quick! What's the first thing you're going to need?
- Hiccup: A doctor?
- Fishlegs: Plus five speed?
- Astrid: A shield!
- Gobber: Shield! Go!
- [the teens scramble around to grab shields]
- Gobber: Your most important piece of equipment is your shield! If you must make a choice between a sword or a shield, take the shield!
- Snotlout: [to Astrid, during training] So anyway, uh, I moved into my parents' basement? You should come by some time to work out. You look like you work out!
- [his shield is knocked out by a Gronkle's fireball]
- Gobber: Snotlout, you're done!
- Hiccup: [to Astrid] So I guess it's just you and me, huh?
- Astrid: Nope, just you.
- [she dodges away and Hiccup's shield is hit by the Gronkle's fire]
- 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.
- Hiccup: [deadpan] Yeah, no kidding, right? Pain. Love it.
- Tuffnut: Oh great, who let *him* in?
