How to Train Your Dragon Page #3

Synopsis: Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) is a Norse teenager from the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. His progressive views and weird sense of humor make him a misfit, despite the fact that his father (Gerard Butler) is chief of the clan. Tossed into dragon-fighting school, he endeavors to prove himself as a true Viking, but when he befriends an injured dragon he names Toothless, he has the chance to plot a new course for his people's future.

- It's time, Hiccup.

- Can you not hear me?

This is serious, son.

When you carry this axe,

you carry all of us with you.

Which means you walk like us,

you talk like us...

you think like us.

No more of... this.

You just gestured to all of me.

- Deal?

- This conversation is very one-sided.

Deal?

Deal.

Good.

Train hard.

I'll be back. Probably.

And I'll be here.

Maybe.

Welcome to dragon training!

No turning back.

I hope I get some serious burns.

I'm hoping for some mauling,

like on my shoulder or back.

Yeah, it's only fun if you get

a scar out of it.

Yeah, no kidding, right?

Pain. Love it.

Oh, great. Who let him in?

Let's get started!

The recruit who does best

will win the honor

of killing his first dragon

in front of the entire village.

Hiccup already killed a Night Fury,

so does that disqualify him?

Can I transfer to the class

with the cool Vikings?

Don't worry. You're small and weak...

that'll make you less of a target.

They'll see you as sick or insane

and go after the more

Viking-like teens instead.

Behind these doors

are just a few of the many species

you will learn to fight!

- The Deadly Nadder!

- Speed 8, armor 16.

The Hideous Zippleback.

Plus 11 stealth. Times 2.

- The Monstrous Nightmare.

- Firepower 15.

- The Terrible Terror.

- Attack 8, venom 12.

Can you stop that?!

And the Gronckle.

Jaw strength 8.

Wait, aren't you gonna teach us first?

I believe in learning on the job.

Today is about survival.

If you get blasted...

you're dead!

What's the first thing you'll need?

- A doctor?

- Plus 5 speed?

- A shield.

- Shields. Go!

Your most important piece of equipment

is your shield!

If you must choose between

a sword or a shield, take the shield!

- Let go of my shield!

- There are a million shields!

Take that one. It has a flower...

girls like flowers.

Oops, this one has blood on it.

- Tuffnut, Ruffnut! You're out!

- What?

Shields are good for another thing.

Noise! Make lots of it

to throw off a dragon's aim!

All dragons have

a limited number of shots.

How many does a Gronckle have?

- Five?

- No, six!

Correct, six!

That's one for each of you!

Fishlegs, out!

Hiccup, get in there!

I moved into my parents' basement.

Come by sometime and work out.

You look like you work out.

Snotlout! You're done!

So it's just you and me, huh?

Nope, just you.

One shot left!

Hiccup!

And that's six.

Go back to bed,

you overgrown sausage!

You'll get another chance,

don't you worry.

Remember, a dragon will always,

always go for the kill.

So... why didn't you?

This was stupid.

Why don't you just fly away?

All right, where did Astrid go wrong

in the ring today?

I mistimed my somersault dive.

It was sloppy.
