[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!
-
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!
