Quotes 

• Fishlegs : I'm okay!

  [the Gronkle he's riding flips over and lands on top of him] 

  Fishlegs : Less okay!

• [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?

• Gobber : Behind these doors are just a few of the many species you will learn to fight. The Deadly Nadder...

  Fishlegs : [speaking rapidly]  Speed Eight, Armor Sixteen...

  Gobber : The Hideous Zippleback...

  Fishlegs : Plus Eleven Stealth, times Two...

  Gobber : The Monstrous Nightmare...

  Fishlegs : Firepower Fifteen...

  Gobber : The Terrible Terror...

  Fishlegs : Attack Eight, Venom Twelve...

  Gobber : [shouts]  Can you stop that?

  [normal voice] 

  Gobber : And... the Gronckle!

  Fishlegs : [whispering to Hiccup]  Jaw Strength Eight.

• Fishlegs : [being chased by a Nadder]  AHHH! I'm *really* beginning to question your teaching methods.

• [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!

• Fishlegs : [to Tuffnut]  Your mom let you get a tattoo?

  Tuffnut : It's not a tattoo, it's a birth mark!

  Ruffnut : Okay, I've been stuck with you since birth and that was never there before.

  Tuffnut : Yes it was! You've just never seen me from the left side until now.

• Gobber : Today is about teamwork! The Hideous Zippleback is extra tricky. One head *breathes* gas, the other head *lights* it. Your job, is to know which is which!

  Fishlegs : [whispering]  Razor-sharp serrated teeth that inject venom for pre-digestion. Prefers ambush attack, crushing its victims...

  Hiccup : Will you *please* stop that?

• Gobber : [Slapping a thick book on the table]  The Dragon Manual. Everything we know about every dragon we know of.

  [Thunder rumbles] 

  Gobber : No attacks tonight. Study up.

  Tuffnut : Wait, you mean *read*?

  Ruffnut : While we're still alive?

  Snotlout : Why read words when you can just kill the stuff the words tell you stuff about?

  Fishlegs : [eagerly]  Oh! I've read it like, seven times. There's this water dragon that sprays boiling water at your face, and, and there's this other one, that buries itself for like a week...

  Tuffnut : [interrupting]  Yeah, that sounds great. There was a chance I was gonna read that...

  Ruffnut : But, now...?

• Gobber : And with one twist, he took my hand and swallowed it whole. And I saw the look on his face. I was delicious! He must have passed the word, because it wasn't a month before another one of them took my leg!

  [gestures to his fake leg] 

  Fishlegs : Isn't it weird to think that your hand was inside a dragon? Like if your mind was still in control of it, you could have killed that dragon from the inside, by... crushing its heart, or something.

  Snotlout : I swear, I'm so angry right now! I'll avenge your beautiful hand and your beautiful foot. I'll chop off the legs of every dragon I fight... with my face!

  Gobber : Uh-uh-uh, no. It's the wings and the tails you really want. If it can't fly, it can't get away. A *downed* dragon... is a dead dragon.

• Fishlegs : Chances of survival are dwindling into single-digits now...

• Hiccup : [about the Green Death]  Fishlegs, break it down.

  Fishlegs : Okay, heavily armored skull and tail made for bashing and crushing. Steer clear of both. Small eyes, large nostrils! Relies on hearing and smell!

  Hiccup : Okay. Lout, Legs, hang in its blind spot. Make some noise, keep it confused. Ruff, Tuff, find out if it has a shot limit. Make it mad.

  Ruffnut : That's my specialty!

  Tuffnut : Since when? Everyone knows I'm more irritating! See?

  [turns upside down and makes noise] 

  Hiccup : Just do what I told you! I'll be back as soon as I can!

  Snotlout : Don't worry, we got it covered!

  Fishlegs : Yeah! Whoo!
