Chapter 24
[The Berkians bring weapons en masse to the docks and load them on the ships. Toothless is chained into some kind of cage and put on the main ship. Stoick enters the ship.]
STOICK
„Set sail! We head for Helheim's Gate. [to Toothless] Lead us home, Devil."
[Hiccup is standing on one of the wooden planks leading down to the docks, watching as the ships leave until they're out of sight. Astrid carefully approaches.]
„It's a mess. You must feel horrible. You've lost everything. Your father, your tribe, your best friend..."
„Great. Quite encouraging, really."
HICCUP
„Thank you for summing that up. Why couldn't I have killed that dragon when I found him in the woods? It would have been better for everyone."
„For everyone except you."
ASTRID
„Yep. The rest of us would have done it. So why didn't you?... Why didn't you?"
HICCUP
„I don't know. I couldn't."
„This is only half of the story.
ASTRID
„That's not an answer."
HICCUP
„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!"
„You were neither a coward, nor weak. You did the right thing."
ASTRID
„You said "wouldn't" that time."
HICCUP
„Whatever! I wouldn't! Three hundred years, and I'm the first Viking who wouldn't kill a dragon!"
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 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!"
