TUFFNUT
Quite the performance.
T/N
Congrats, Hiccup~
SNOTLOUT
I've never seen anyone mess up that badly. That helped!
[Y/n just looks at Hiccup with pity after hitting her twins stomach with the bottom of an axe. Hiccup looks down and rubs his arm]
HICCUP
Thank you, thank you. I was trying, so... [Snotlout laughs loudly, before Gobber walks by, pushing his head down, causing Snotlout to laugh nervously. Flinching as he sees both sets of twins smirking at him in amusement] I really did hit one.
GOBBER
Sure, Hiccup.
HICCUP
He never listens.
GOBBER
Well, it runs in the family.
HICCUP
And when he does, it's always with this... disappointed scowl. Like someone skimped on the meat in his sandwich. [Imitating Stoick] 'Excuse me, barmaid! I'm afraid you brought me the wrong offspring. I ordered an extra large boy with beefy arms. Extra guts and glory on the side. This here, this is a talking fish bone!'
GOBBER
Now, you're thinking about this all wrong. It's not so much what you look like, it's what's inside that he can't stand.
HICCUP
[Sarcastically] Thank you for summing that up.
GOBBER
Look, the point is, stop trying so hard to be something you're not.
HICCUP
I just want to be one of you guys.
[Hiccup exits through the back of the house and runs into the forest]

[Meade hall, a bunch of adults are gathered]
STOICK
Either we finish them, or they'll finish us! It's the only way we'll be rid of them! If we find the nest and destroy it, the dragons will leave. They'll find another home! One more search. Before the ice sets in.
M/N
Those ships never come back.
STOICK
We're Vikings! It's an occupational hazard! Now, who's with me?
VIKINGS
Today's not good for me. I've gotta do my ax returns.
STOICK
Alright. Those who stay will look after Hiccup.
PHLEGMA
To the ships!
SPITELOUT
I'm with you, Stoick!
STOICK
That's more like it.
GOBBER
Right, I'll pack my undies.
STOICK
No, I need you to stay and train some new recruits.
GOBBER [Sarcastically]
Oh, perfect. And while I'm busy, Hiccup can cover the stall. Molten steel, razor-sharp blades, lots of time to himself... what could possibly go wrong?
