Stoick
- Hiccup: [as Stoick drags him through the cave] Uh, wait! Okay, uh, Dad, there-there's something you need to know!
- Stoick the Vast: [impatiently] Yeah, yeah. Tell me on the way.
- Hiccup: No, this isn't an on-the-way kind of update, actually.
- Stoick the Vast: [stubbornly] I've heard enough!
- Hiccup: More of the earth-shattering-development variety.
- Stoick the Vast: Yeah, just add it to the pile.
- Hiccup: Yeah, I, uh, uh... Dad, u-unlike most surprises I spring on you, this is one you'll like. I-I promise. You just have to handle it... delicately. So...
- [They reach a stunned Gobber]
- Gobber: [to Stoick] Uh, you might want to take this one.
- Stoick the Vast: Huh?
- [draws his sword]
- Gobber: Oh, boy.
- Hiccup: [fearful] Oh, uh, Dad, could you put the sword away, please?
- [Stoick finally sees Valka and gasps. Gobber and Hiccup watch as Stoick drops his sword, removes his helmet, and slowly and silently advances toward Valka]
- Valka: I know what you're gonna say, Stoick. How could I have done this? Stayed away all these years? And why didn't I come back to you? To our son? Well, what sign did I have that you could change, Stoick? That anyone on Berk could? I pleaded so many times to stop the fighting, to find another answer, but did any of you listen?
- Gobber: [aside, to Hiccup] This is why I never married. This and one other reason.
- Valka: I know that I left you to raise Hiccup alone, but I thought he'd be better off without me. And I was wrong. I see that now! But...
- [nervously backs up against the wall; on the verge of tears]
- Valka: Oh, stop being so stoic, Stoick! Go on! Shout! Scream! Say something!
- [Stoick touches Valka's cheek. She stares at him in fear]
- Stoick the Vast: [also on the verge of tears] You're as beautiful as the day I lost you.
- [Valka quietly weeps in relief; Stoick softly kisses her. A relieved and overjoyed Hiccup smiles]
- Stoick the Vast: Boar-headed - just like his mother. Aye, she could never stay put, either.
- Gobber: Eh, he's just 20, and a Viking. I mean, could there be a worse combination? Ha! When I think of how stubborn and senseless *you* were back in the day. Oh. Now, not much has changed, actually.
- Valka: [about preparing food] I'm, uh... a little out of practice.
- Stoick the Vast: Well, you know - I didn't marry you for your cooking.
- Gobber: I hope not. Her meatballs could kill more beasts than a battle ax.
