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.

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]

[riding on Toothless's back with Hiccup]
Astrid : All right, I admit it. This is pretty cool. It's... *amazing*. He's amazing.
-
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!

[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?
-
[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!
-
Snotlout : If that dragon shows either of its faces, I'm gonna... there!
[He and Tuffnut throw their buckets of water]
[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?
