[Mala]"You stand accused of being Dragon Hunters, subjugators of dragons. Do you deny this?"

[Hiccup]"Yes."

[Mala]"But you admit that you force the dragons to carry you on their backs?"

[Hiccup]"We don't force them."

[Mala]"And that you used them to land secretly on our island?"

[Hiccup]"Yes. But you make it sound worse than it was."

[Mala]"So, you weren't caught by my men sneaking toward our village?"

[Hiccup]"'Sneaking' is a strong word."

[Mala]"And you didn't come heavily armed?"

[Hiccup]"Those are for self-defense."

[Mala]"Oh, so you came here expecting a fight?"

[Hiccup]"No, no, you're-you're twisting my words."

[Tuffnut]"Okay, that's it. Time for an expert to step in."

[Tuffnut walkes away from Astrid and Ruffnut]

[Astrid tries to grab him but fails]

[Astrid]"No, don't!"

[Ruffnut]"Let him go, he knows what he's doing. He's been on trial more than anyone in Berk. Of course, he's also been convicted more than anyone in Berk. But who cares?"

[Tuffnut step up besides Hiccup]

[Tuffnut]"Tuffnut Thorston, attorney at-"

[Hiccup]"Tuffnut."

[Tuffnut]"-things. For defense, your queen-ness. Did we sneak onto your island? Perhaps. Did I eat a coconut?"

[Ruffnut]"Maybe."

[Tuffnut]"But since when is sneaking around on someone else's property without permission a trespass?"

[Hiccup]"For the record, this person does not represent me."

[Ruffnut]"Not at all."

[Tuffnut]"And maybe we do make the dragons do whatever we say and go wherever we go and want to go, whenever we want and they carry us on their backs, and we obviously keep them in cages and- but does that mean we 'subjugate' them?"

[Ruffnut]"Subjugate them we do not."

[Astrid]"Yeah, that's kind of what it means."

[Tuffnut]"It does? That's terrible. Why do we do that?"

[Hiccup]"Tuff, I'm begging you, enough."

[Tuffnut]"And take our leader, Hiccup Haddock the Third."

[Ruffnut]"There's three of 'em."

[Tuffnut]"A man who shot down Toothless and crippled him so that he could only fly with Hiccup, subjugating him. Did I use 'subjugating' right? I rest my case, your honor."

[Hiccup]"Oh, there it is."

[Tuffnut]"Oh yeah."
