[Drago's ship sails, Drago striking a chain with his bullhook. At the stern, the riders and Eret are about to walk the plank.]

Everyone then went serious.

Snotlout: Could this day get any worse?

Tuffnut: Uh, let me see. You'll jump into freezing cold water and then die from drowning.

Ruffnut punches her brother's arm.

Ruffnut: Do you have to say that?

Eret: Looks refreshing. Please, ladies first.

Astrid glared at the grownup.

Astrid: You are a steaming heap of dragon-

Eret: Duck.

[Astrid ducks and Eret knocks Drago's soldiers unconscious and unchains himself.]

Astrid and the others went shocked.

Soldier: Warn the others!

Ruffnut: Get 'em, you son of an Eret!

[Eret knocks out the rest.]

Ruffnut: Okay, I love you again.

Tuffnut and his parents have their eyes twitched.

[Snotlout looks hurt.]

Tuffnut: Ugh. Pathetic. You can still jump.

Fishlegs: I would agree.

Eret: So? Are we going to save your dragons and get out of here or not?

[Astrid nods.]

Eret: Check every trap. They're here somewhere.

[Astrid checks a trap and finds Meatlug.]

Astrid: Meatlug?

Eret: Anyone coming?

Ruffnut: I don't know. You just keep doing what you're doing. Keep crankin'. (She admires his biceps.)

Random child: Huh? I can't see!

Everyone turned their heads to see the children covered their eyes with tentacles. Clara and Malissa are in the background pacing while chanting TMI.

Eret: (To Stormfly) Thank you for saving my life.

[Stormfly pushes her head to Eret's hand.]

Stormfly was glad to find him interested.

Eret: Now let me return the favor.
