Quotes 

• Gobber : [at Stoick's funeral]  May the valkyries welcome you and lead you through Odin's great battlefield. May they sing your name with love and fury, so that we might hear it rise from the depths of Valhalla and know that you've taken your rightful place at the table of kings. For a great man has fallen: A warrior. A chieftain. A father. A friend.

• 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] 

• Gobber : [about riding baby dragons inside an ice mountain]  Some might suggest this is poorly conceived!

  Hiccup : Well, it's a good thing that I never listen.

  [an ice wall splits them up] 

  Gobber : Whoa! So...

  [he pauses for the ice wall] 

  Gobber : ... what is your...

  [ice wall] 

  Gobber : ... plan?

  Hiccup : Get Toothless back and kick Drago's...

  [the ice wall catches the rest of his sentence] 

• 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.
