How To Train Your Dragon is a 2010 animated film, loosely based on the children's novel by Cressida Cowell. The film focuses on a Viking village called Berk, the inhabitants of which fight a never-ending war with multiple varieties of dragon, until the chieftan's misfit son, Hiccup, accidentally captures one and ends up befriending it.

[edit] Hiccup

  • (first lines, voice-over) This is Berk. It's twelve days north of Hopeless and a few degrees south of Freezing to Death. It's located solidly on the Meridian of Misery. My village. In a word, sturdy. It's been here for seven generations, but every single building is new. We have fishing, hunting, and a charming view of the sunset. The only problems are the pests. You see, most places have mice or mosquitoes. We have... (aloud) dragons!
  • Most people would leave. Not us. We're Vikings. We have stubbornness issues.
  • That's Stoick the Vast, the chief of the tribe. They say that when he was a baby, he popped a dragon's head clean off its shoulders. Do I believe it? Yes, I do.
  • The meathead with attitude and interchangeable hands is Gobber. I've been his apprentice ever since I was little... well, littler.
  • (voice-over) Oh, and there's one more thing you need to know... (crash; aloud, to Stoick) Sorry, Dad.
  • Oh, the gods hate me! Some people lose their knife or their mug. No, not me! I managed to lose an entire dragon!
  • (coming upon the supposedly dead body of a Night Fury) Oh, wow... I-I did it! Oh, I did it! This-this fixes everything! Yes! (places his foot on the dragon; heroically) I have brought down this mighty beast! (Night Fury stirs; Hiccup jumps back) Aaah!
  • (to Night Fury) I'm gonna kill you, dragon... I'm gonna, I'm gonna cut out your heart and take it to my father... I'm a Viking... I'M A VIKING!
  • (as Toothless flies with his prosthetic tailfin) Oh, my-! It's working! Yes! Yes, I did it!
  • All right, it's go time, it's go time...
  • (Riding Toothless) Oh, this is amazing! The wind in my...CHEAT SHEET!
  • [about the dragons] Everything we know about you guys.... is wrong.
  • (After Stoick gives him a helmet made from his mom's breastplate) Thank you for the breast-hat.
  • (to Toothless) Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile.
  • (about the Green Death) That thing has wings. (to Toothless) Okay, let's see if it can use them!
  • (last lines, voice-over) This is Berk. It snows nine months out of the year, and hails the other three. Any food that grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow here are even more so. The only upsides, are the pets. While other places have ponies, or parrots... we have dragons.

[edit] Stoick the Vast

  • (to a Nightmare) You're all out.
  • Either we finish them, or they'll finish us.
  • We're Vikings! It's an occupational hazard.
  • (presenting Hiccup with a horned helmet) Your mother would have wanted you to have it... It's half her breastplate. (points to his own helmet) Matching set. Keeps... keeps her close, you know.
  • Well, I can finally show my face in public again! If anyone had told me that in just a few short weeks, Hiccup would have gone from, well, being, uh... "Hiccup," to placing first in dragon training - well, I would have tied him to a mast and shipped him out to sea for fear he'd gone mad! (laughter) And you know it! But here we are, and no one's more surprised, or more proud, than I am. Today, my boy becomes a Viking! Today, he becomes one of us! (cheering)
  • I would have gone for the hammer.
  • This isn't over! Form your ranks! Hold together!

[edit] Gobber

  • (to Hiccup) Stay... put... there. You know what I mean.
  • Oh, perfect. And while I'm busy, Hiccup can cover the store. Molten steel, razor-sharp blades, lots of time to himself - what could possibly go wrong?
  • Trolls exist! They steal your socks! But only the left ones - what's with that?
  • Welcome to Dragon Training!
  • (to Hiccup) Don't worry, you're small and you're 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.
  • Remember, a dragon will always - always - go for the kill.
  • And with one twist, he took my hand and swallowed it whole! And I saw the look in 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!
  • Listen, Stoick, I was overhearing some of the men just now, and-and well, you know, some of them are wondering what it is we are up to here? Not-not me, of course, I-I know you're always the man with the plan, but some - not me - are-are wondering if, in fact, there is a plan at all, and what it might be?
  • (approaching the dragons' lair, the Vikings pass a wreck of one of their ships) Oh... I was wondering where that went.
  • (on Hiccup) Every bit the bullheaded, stubborn Viking you ever were! (Stoick, dumbfounded, nods in agreement)

[edit] Astrid

  • No turning back.
  • Is this some kind of a joke to you? Our parents' war is about to become ours! Figure out which side you're on.
  • I normally don't care what people do, but you're acting weird! Well, weirder.
  • No one just gets as good as you do... especially you!
  • (kicks Hiccup to the ground) That's for the lies! And that's... (slugs him in the gut with her axe handle) ...for everything else!
  • Oh, Great Odin's ghost! Oh, this is it! (screams)
  • Okay, I am sorry! I'm sorry! Just get me off of this thing!
  • All right, I admit it. This is pretty cool. It's amazing! He's amazing.
  • (punches Hiccup in the arm) That's for kidnapping me. (quickly kisses him on the cheek) That's for... everything else.
  • [to Snotlout] Yeah! You're the Viking!
  • (as Hiccup flies after the Green Death) Go!

[edit] Snotlout

  • (shoves Astrid aside) Watch out, babe, I'll take care of this one. (throws weapon at Deadly Nadder, but misses; Astrid looks at him while the Nadder seems to laugh at him) The sun was in my eyes, Astrid! What do you want me to do, block out the sun? I could do that, but I don't have time right now!
  • I swear, I'm so ANGRY right now! I'll avenge your beautiful hand and your beautiful foot! I'll chop the legs off every dragon I fight! With my FACE!
  • (hitting the Green Death in the eye) What's wrong, buddy? Got somethin' in your eye?
  • (having leapt from Green Death onto the Zippleback ridden by Ruff and Tuff) You know, I can't believe that worked!

[edit] Fishlegs

  • (to Gobber) I'm really beginning to question your teaching methods.
  • Chances of survival are dwindling into single-digits now...
  • 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 the dragon from the inside by crushing its heart or something?
  • (to Hiccup) If you're planning on getting eaten, I'd definitely go with the Gronckle.
  • (after crashing his Gronkle) I'm okay! (the Gronkle flips, crushing him underneath) Less okay!

[edit] Tuffnut & Ruffnut

  • Tuffnut: (to Hiccup) You were wise to seek help from the world's most deadly weapon... (Hiccup stares at him blankly) It's me!
  • Tuffnut: [riding the Zippleback with Ruffnut] Look at us! We're on a dragon! We're on dragons! All of us!
  • Ruffnut: (to Hiccup) You're crazy! (romantically) I like that...
  • Tuffnut: [Repeated line] Oh, I'm hurt! I am very much hurt!

[edit] Dialogue

Hiccup: (voice-over) My name's Hiccup. Great name, I know, but it's not the worst. Parents believe a hideous name will frighten off gnomes and trolls. Like our charming Viking demeanor wouldn't do that.
Viking: (roars in Hiccup's face) AAAAAAAAAAARRRRR!! Mornin'!

Gobber: Oh, nice of you to join the party! I thought you'd been carried off!
Hiccup: Who, me? Nah, come on! I'm way too... muscular for their taste! They wouldn't know what to do with all... (flexing) this!
Gobber: Well, they need toothpicks, don't they?

Hiccup: Aw, come on! Let me out, please! I need to make my mark!
Gobber: Oh, you've made plenty of marks! All in the wrong places!
Hiccup: Please, two minutes! I'll kill a dragon, my life will get infinitely better, I might even get a date!
Gobber: You can't lift a hammer, you can't swing an axe, you can't even throw one of these! (holds up a set of bolas, which a Viking snatches and throws at a Gronckle)
Hiccup: Okay, fine! But this... (gestures to a catapult machine) Will throw it for me!
(He touches the machine and it goes off, firing a set of bolas out the window that hits a Viking.)
Gobber: Now, see, this right here... (gestures to Hiccup's machine) ...is what I'm talkin' about!
Hiccup: But, uh... mild calibration issues...
Gobber: Don't you, no...! Hiccup! If you ever want to get out there to fight dragons, you need to stop all... (gestures to all of Hiccup) this.
Hiccup: But you just pointed to all of me!
Gobber: Yes, that's it! Stop bein' all of you!
Hiccup: (nodding and glaring at Gobber) Oh!
Gobber: Oh, yeah.
Hiccup: (awkwardly, but standing his ground) You-you, sir, are playing a dangerous game! Keeping this much raw... "Viking-ness" contained! There will be consequences!
Gobber: I'll take my chances. (tosses him a sword) Sword, sharpen, now.

Hiccup: (voice-over) One day I'll get out there. Because killing a dragon is everything around here. A Nadder head is sure to get me at least noticed. Gronkles are tough, taking down one of those would definitely get me a girlfriend. A Zippleback? Exotic. Two heads, twice the status. Then there's the Monstrous Nightmare. Only the best Vikings go after those. They have this nasty habit of setting themselves on fire.
(A fiery Nightmare attacks the catapult crew)
Stoick: Reload! (calmly) I'll take care of this.
Hiccup: (voice-over) But the ultimate prize is the dragon no one's ever seen... they call it the...
Viking: NIGHT FURY!
Another Viking: GET DOWN!
Hiccup: [voice-over] This thing never steals food, never shows itself, and [building gets blasted] never misses. No one has ever killed a Night Fury. That's why I'm going to be the first.

Hiccup: [after making a disaster of the latest dragon attack] ...Okay, but I hit a Night Fury. [Stoick angrily grabs him and drags him away] It's not like the last few times, Dad! I mean, I really actually hit it! You guys were busy, and I had a very clear shot! It went down just off Raven Point, let's get a search party out there before it...
Stoick: STOP! [Hiccup stops, surprised] Just... stop. Every time you step outside, disaster falls! Can you not see that I have bigger problems? Winter is almost here, and I have an entire village to feed!
Hiccup: [lowers voice] Uh, between you and me, the village could do with a little less feeding, don't you think?
Stoick: This isn't a joke, Hiccup! Why can't you follow the simplest orders?
Hiccup: I - I can't stop myself! I see a dragon and I have to just... kill it! You know? It's who I am, Dad.
Stoick: [sighs] You are many things, Hiccup. But a dragon killer is not one of them.

Hiccup: I really did hit one.
Gobber: Sure, Hiccup....
Hiccup: (about his father) 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) "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 thinkin' 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 wanna be one of you guys. (goes inside his house)

Stoick: When I was a boy...
Gobber: Oh, here we go...
Stoick: My father told me to bang my head against a rock, and I did it. I thought I was crazy, but I didn't question him! And do you know what happened?
Gobber: You got a headache.
Stoick: That rock split in two! It taught me what a Viking can do, Gobber! He can crush mountains, level forests, tame seas! Even as a boy, I knew who I was, what I had to become. Hiccup is not that boy.
Gobber: You can't stop him, Stoick. You can only prepare him. I know it sounds hopeless, but the truth is, you won't always be around to protect him. He's gonna get out there again. He's probably out there right now.

Stoick: Hiccup...
Hiccup: Dad! Uh, I have to talk to you, Dad.
Stoick: I need to speak with you too, son.
[They both take deep breaths and speak at once.]
Hiccup/Stoick: I've decided I don't want to fight dragons./I think it's time you learned to fight dragons. [short pause] What?
Stoick: Uh, you go first.
Hiccup: No, no, you go first.
Stoick: All right. [takes another deep breath] You get your wish. Dragon Training. You start in the morning.
Hiccup: Oh man, I should have gone first! Because I was thinking.... You know, we have a surplus of dragon-fighting Vikings. But do we have enough... bread-making Vikings? Or small home repair Vikings?
[Stoick, not paying attention, drops a large battle axe into Hiccup's arms.]
Stoick: You'll need this.
Hiccup: [nervously] I... don't wanna fight dragons.
Stoick: [chuckles] Oh, come on, yes, you do.
Hiccup: Rephrase: Dad, I can't kill dragons.
Stoick: But you will kill dragons!
Hiccup: No... I'm really very extra sure that I won't.
Stoick: It's time, Hiccup...
Hiccup: Can you not hear me?
Stoick: This is serious, son. [takes the axe from Hiccup] When you carry this axe, [returns the 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... [gestures to Hiccup] this.
Hiccup: You just gestured to all of me.
Stoick: Deal?
Hiccup: This conversation is feeling very one-sided...
Stoick: Deal?
Hiccup: [sighs, giving in] Deal.

Tuffnut: I hope I get some serious burns!
Ruffnut: I'm hoping for some mauling, like on my shoulder or lower back.
Astrid: (wryly) Yeah, it's only fun if you get a scar out of it.
Hiccup: (entering behind them; unenthusiastically) Yeah, no kidding, right? Pain, love it.
Tuffnut: Oh, great! Who let him in?

Gobber: The recruit who does best will win the honor of killing his first dragon in front of the entire village.
Snotlout: Hiccup already killed a Night Fury, so does that disqualify him, or...? [All snicker] Can I transfer to the class with the cool Vikings instead?

Gobber: All dragons have a limited number of shots! How many does a Gronckle have?
Snotlout: Five?
Fishlegs: No, six!
Gobber: Correct, six! That's one for each of you! [The Gronckle blasts Fishlegs' shield] Fishlegs, out.
[Fishlegs runs away, screaming]

(After the first day of dragon training)
Gobber: Now, where did Hiccup go wrong today?
Ruffnut: Uh, he showed up?
Tuffnut: He didn't get eaten?
Astrid: He's never where he should be.
Gobber: Thank you, Astrid. You need to live and breath this stuff. The Dragon Manual. Everything we know about every dragon we know of. (listens to the thunder) 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: Oh, oh, I've read it like seven times! There's this water dragon that sprays boiling water at your face! (Snotlout, Tuffnut, and Ruffnut stare at him) And, and there's this other dragon that buries itself for like a week-
Tuffnut: (cuts him off) Er, yeah, that sounds great. And there was a chance I was gonna read that...
Ruffnut: But, now...

(During "Attack" training)
Gobber: Look for its blind spot! Every dragon has one! Find it, hide in it, and strike!
(Tuffnut and Ruffnut huddle in the Deadly Nadder's blind spot)
Ruffnut: Ugh! Do you ever bathe?
Tuffnut: You don't like it, then just get your own blind spot!
Ruffnut: How about I give you one...!
(The Nadder notices them and breathes fire. They scream and run for cover.)
Gobber: Blind spot, yes. Deaf spot - not so much!

(Running from the Deadly Nadder, Astrid falls off a wall and lands on top of Hiccup)
Tuffnut: Ooh! Love on the battlefield!
Ruffnut: She could do better.

(Being stalked by a Hideous Zippleback)
Fishlegs: Razor-sharp, serrated teeth that inject venom for pre-digestion, prefers ambush attack, and crushing its victims...
Hiccup: Will you please stop that?!

Gobber: Meet the Terrible Terror!
(From a pet door emerges a small, green dragon about the size of a Chihuahua.)
Tuffnut: Ha! It's like the size of my- (the Terror leaps onto his face) AAH! OH, GET IT OFF! (the Terror bites his nose) Oh, I'm hurt! I am very much hurt!

Stoick: You've been keeping secrets from me.
Hiccup: I-I have?
Stoick: Just how long did you think you could keep this from me?
Hiccup: I-I don't...
Stoick: Nothing happens on this island without me hearing about it.
Hiccup: Uh... really?
Stoick: (gravely) So... let's talk about that dragon.
Hiccup: Oh, gods... Dad, I'm so sorry, I-I was going to tell you, I just didn't know how...
[Stoick suddenly laughs heartily.]
Hiccup: (nervously laughing along) You're... you're not upset?

[During the last day of training]
Astrid: Stay out of my way! I'm winning this thing!
Hiccup: Uh... please, by all means.
Astrid: [approaches the Gronkle stealthily] This time! This time, for sure! [prepares to attack the Gronkle - only to find that Hiccup has already defeated it] NO! YOU SON OF A HALF-TROLL, RAT-EATING, MUNGE-BUCKET!
Hiccup: [tries to get away] So, later!
Gobber: Oh-oh, not so fast!
Hiccup: Uh, I'm kind of late for...
Astrid: [livid, jams her axe into his throat] What?! Late for what, exactly?

[After Hiccup stops Toothless from attacking Astrid]
Hiccup: (to Astrid) It's okay, you just scared him.
Astrid: I scared him?! (pause) Who is him?
Hiccup: Uh, Astrid, Toothless. Toothless, Astrid.
[Toothless growls menacingly at her. Astrid runs off to tell the village.]
Hiccup: Da, da, da, we're dead! (Toothless shrugs and walks away) Whoa, whoa, whoa! Where do you think you're going?

Astrid: (hanging from a tree branch) Hiccup, get me down from here!
Hiccup: You have to give me a chance to explain.
Astrid: I am not listening to anything you have to say!
Hiccup: Then I won't speak. Just let me show you. (softer) Please, Astrid.

Stoick: [confronts Hiccup about his friendship with Toothless] I should have known. I should have seen the signs.
Hiccup: Dad....
Stoick: We had a deal!
Hiccup: I know! We did, but that was before I.... Oh, it's all so messed up.
Stoick: So everything in the ring.... A trick?! A lie?
Hiccup: I screwed up. I should have told you before now. Take this out on me, be mad at me, but please, just don't hurt Toothless.
Stoick: [shocked] The dragon? That's what you're worried about?! Not the people you almost killed?!
Hiccup: He was just protecting me! He's not dangerous!
Stoick: They've killed hundreds of us!
Hiccup: And we've killed thousands of them! They defend themselves, that's all! They raid us because they have to! If they don't bring enough food back, they'll be eaten themselves! There's, something else on their island, Dad. It's a dragon like....
Stoick: [interrupting] Their island? So you've been to the nest?
Hiccup: [realizes his mistake] Did I say "nest"?
Stoick: [demandingly] How did you find it?
Hiccup: No, no, I didn't. Toothless did. Only a dragon can find the island. [Stoick pauses; Hiccup realizes what he is thinking] No, no, Dad, no please. It's not what you think. You don't know what you're up against. It's like nothing you've ever seen. [Stoick shoves Hiccup out of the way] Dad, please, I promise you. You can't win this one! [Stoick continues to walk away. Hiccup runs up to him and grabs his arm; on the brink of tears] Dad, no! For once in your life, would you please just listen to me?!
Stoick: (throws him aside) You've thrown your lot in with them. You're not a Viking... you're not my son. (leaves and closes the door behind him) READY THE SHIPS!

Astrid: It's a mess. You must feel horrible. You've lost everything; your father, your tribe, your best friend...
Hiccup: Thank you for summing that up. [sadly] Why couldn't I have killed that dragon when I found him in the woods? It would've been better, for everyone.
Astrid: Yep, the rest of us would have done it. So why didn't you?
[Hiccup doesn't answer.]
Astrid: Why didn't you?
Hiccup: I don't know. I couldn't.
Astrid: That's not an answer.
Hiccup: [angrily] Why is this so important to you all of a sudden?
Astrid: Because I want to remember what you say, right now.
Hiccup: Oh, for the love of - I was a coward! I was weak! I wouldn't kill a dragon.
Astrid: You said "wouldn't" that time.
Hiccup: Well, whatever! I wouldn't! Three hundred years, and I'm the first Viking who wouldn't kill a dragon.
[Silence]
Astrid: First to ride one, though. So....
Hiccup: I wouldn't kill him because he looked as frightened as I was. I looked at him and I saw myself.
Astrid: I bet he's really frightened right now. What are you going to do about it?
Hiccup: Eh, probably something stupid.
Astrid: Good, but you've already done that.
Hiccup: Then something crazy!
Astrid: That's more like it!

Stoick: When we crack this mountain open, all hell is going to break loose.
Gobber: And my undies. Good thing I brought extras.

[The Red Death emerges from the cave.]
Gobber: Beard of Thor! What is that?
Stoick: Odin help us...

(The Red Death incinerates the Viking ships.)
Gobber: Smart, that one.
Stoick: I was a fool. Lead the men to the far side of the island.
Spitelout: Right! (turns and shouts) Everyone to the far side of the island!
Stoick: Gobber, go with the men.
Gobber: I think I'll stay, just in case you're thinking of doing something crazy.
Stoick: I can buy them a few minutes if I give that thing something to hunt!
Gobber: (takes his hand) Then I can double that time.
(They smile, and run towards the Red Death)
Stoick: HERE!
Gobber: (chuckling) Oh-ho-ho, no... HERE!

(After Stoick rescues Hiccup and Toothless from drowning, Toothless motions to Hiccup.)
Hiccup: You got it, bud.
(Hiccup mounts Toothless.)
Stoick: Hiccup! (Hiccup turns) I'm sorry... f-for everything.
Hiccup: Yeah, me too.
Stoick: You don't have to go up there.
Hiccup: We're Vikings. It's an occupational hazard.
Stoick: (takes his hand) I'm proud to call you my son.
Hiccup: Thanks, Dad.
(Hiccup and Toothless fly into the sky.)

Stoick: (to Toothless) Thank you for saving my son.
Gobber: Well... you know, most of him.
[Hiccup is later seen to have lost a foot during the battle.]

Hiccup: (seeing the newly reformed Berk) I knew it... I'm dead.
Stoick: (chuckling) No, but you gave it your best shot. So, what do you think?

Stoick: Turns out all we needed was a little more of... this.
Hiccup: You just gestured to all of me!

Astrid: (punches Hiccup in the arm) That's for scaring me!
Hiccup: Wha-what?! What, is it always gonna be this way? 'Cause-
(Astrid cuts him off and kisses him passionately on the lips.)
Hiccup: I could get used to it.

[edit] Featurettes

Gobber: Welcome to Dragon Training! Astrid, you're up. Lesson One: the Deadly Nadder. Fast, dangerous, but if you can stay in its blind spot, you will be safe. Once he sees you - not so much.
Astrid: AAAAHHH!
Gobber: Heh-heh-heh...

Gobber: Fishlegs, you're on. Lesson Two: the Gronckle. Lazy, cranky, with a devastating fire attack. But it cannot produce fire if its head is wet.
(Fishlegs dumps a bucket of water on one end of the Gronckle - which raises its head on the other end)
Gobber: When wetting the Gronckle, be sure to douse the correct end.
Fishlegs: AAAAHHH!
Gobber: Better luck next time!

Gobber: Lesson Three: the Monstrous Nightmare. Most aggressive and powerful of the dragons. Snotlout, into the ring. If you clamp its mouth shut, it cannot open its jaws.
[Snotlout clamps the Nightmare's mouth shut and laughs. The Nightmare slowly raises its head, lifting Snotlout into the air.]
Gobber: The rest of the dragon, however, is free to do whatever it wants.
[Nightmare smiles and proceeds to stamp Snotlout into the ground.]
Snotlout: AAAAHHH!

Gobber: Ruffnut, Tuffnut, you're up. Lesson Four: the Hideous Zippleback.
[Ruffnut and Tuffnut run in a circle around the Zippleback, yelling and banging their shields.]
Gobber: Sly, surprising, but certain noises can confuse it.
[Ruffnut and Tuffnut collide and start arguing and shoving each other. The Zippleback notices them, and each head snaps up one of the twins.]
Gobber: Other noises, however, just make it angry. Ha ha ha...
[Hanging from the Zippleback's jaws, the twins continue arguing and throwing punches and kicks at each other.]

Gobber: Hiccup, you're on, lad. Lesson Five: know your dragon's shot limit. The Night Fury has enough fuel for three blasts.
(Three shots. Hiccup laughs, puts down his shield, and is blasted again.)
Gobber: Uh, four. (another shot) Definitely five.
Hiccup: AAAAHHH!
Gobber: You wait here, I'll go and get my notes.

Gobber: Lesson Six: The Terrible Terror. Smallest of the dragons, but no less ferocious. You know it's about to breathe fire when you hear a little hissing sound.
(Hissing sound.)
Gobber: Just like that! Just before it... (another hissing sound; looks over his shoulder) ...before it...
(Terrible Terror appears on his other shoulder. The screen goes black.)
Gobber: AHHHHHHHHHH-OW! Oh, that really burns.

[edit] Legend of the Boneknapper

Stoick: Gobber, for the last time, there is no such thing as a...
Gobber: Boneknapper?
[The crowd groans, "Boneknapper...?"]
Tuffnut: Oh ho! What-napper?
Gobber: A disgusting, foul beast, wearing a coat of stolen bones, like a giant, flying skeleton.
Fishlegs: Ooh ooh! The dragon manual says that the Boneknapper willl stop at nothing to find the perfect bone to build its coat of armor. It's awesome.

Gobber: The Boneknapper has no roar at all. That's why he's terrifying. He's a silent killer.
Ruffnut: Wait. So if we don't hear anything, we're dead?
[Everyone looks around the boat nervously.]
Tuffnut: I don't hear anything.
[A sheep bleats and everyone jumps.]
Gobber: Ha ha ha! Good one, Phil!

Ruffnut: [as their boat sinks] Now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere, and no one even knows where we are.
Fishlegs: Um, except the Boneknapper. Legend says its roar can s...
Snotlout: Hey, you know what legend also says? Stop talking!

Gobber: Ooh, azaleas!

Fishlegs: Uh, Gobber? Are you sure this is safe?
Gobber: Ah, safety's overrated.

[Gobber, in his flashback story, has been pinned by the Boneknapper at the edge of a cliff]
Gobber: [voice-over] I did what any brave Viking would have done...
Gobber: (high-pitched) Help!
Gobber: [voice-over] The gods must have heard my prayer... it was Thor! He tossed a mighty thunderbolt...
[it hits the ground below the cliff]
Gobber: You missed!
Thor: Wait for it...
Gobber: [voiceover] Then, from the center of the earth, blasted forth... the hammerhead yak riding the hammerhead whale!
Hammerhead Yak: Deploy the yak.

[after Gobber outlines his plan for trapping the Boneknapper]
Snotlout: (aside) It's sad when they get old.

[as everyone argues, Fishlegs sees the Boneknapper land behind them]
Fishlegs: Um, guys? GUYS!

Gobber: Yeah! Twice!

Tuffnut: [sitting on the tail of the Boneknapper] This tailbone is hurting my tailbone!
