HICCUP And when he does, it's always with

this... disappointed scowl. Like

someone skimped on the meat in his

sandwich.

(MIMICKING 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.

The Vikings minus Stoick and Astrid laugh at the immpression. Astrid because she dosn't do that and Stoick because he is shocked that his son thought that.

GOBBER 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.

Beat.

"Yeah, cause that is so much better. You are the worst at pep talks." Slade said. Gober merely shrugged

HICCUP Thank you, for summing that up.

They reach the doorway.

GOBBER Look, the point is, stop trying so

hard to be something you're not.

Hiccup SIGHS heavily.

HICCUP I just want to be one of you guys.

Gobber eyes him sympathetically. Hiccup turns and goes

through the front door.

And straight out the back door. He hurries off into the

woods, determined.

INT. GREAT HALL - DAY

A noisy din of PROTESTING VOICES leads to...

STOICK, glowering in the firelight. Surrounded by his men.

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.

He sinks his blade into a...

LARGE NAUTICAL MAP, spread out on the table... the blade

pierces the middle of an uncharted corner, swirling with

painted sea monsters and dragons.

STOICK (CONT'D) (DECIDEDLY) One more search. Before the ice

sets in.

VIKING Those ships never come back.

STOICK (MATTER-OF-FACT) We're Vikings. It's an occupational

hazard. Now who's with me?

Stoick throws up his fist. No one follows. The crowds shifts

in restless silence. Head scratches. Eyes averted.

"What are the big brave Vikings afraid of a little dragon nest?" Slade said in a condescending voice wich caused hiccup, Valka and all the dragons to laugh and the vikings to glare.

VIKING (FEEBLE) Today's not good for me.

VIKING (CONT'D) (EQUALLY FEEBLE) I've gotta do my axe returns.

STOICK Alright. Those who stay will look

after Hiccup.

Hands jut into the air, volunteers galore. Enthusiastic

murmurs of prep and packing fill the room.

PHLEGMA THE FIERCE To the ships!

SPITELOUT I'm with you Stoick!

STOICK (DRY) That's more like it.

"Really feeling the love dad." Hiccup said. Valka was infuriated by this. How dare he do this to there child.

The Vikings rush for the door, leaving Gobber and Stoick

alone. Gobber gulps back the contents of his tankard

attachment and scrapes back the bench.

GOBBER I'll pack my undies.

STOICK No, I need you to stay and train

some new recruits.

GOBBER 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?

Stoick sinks onto the bench beside Gobber, his brow burdened.

STOICK What am I going to do with him

Gobber?

GOBBER Put him in training with the

others.

STOICK No, I'm serious.

GOBBER So am I.

Stoick turns to him, glaring.

STOICK He'd be killed before you let the

first dragon out of its cage.

*mean teen laughter**Glare from Valka*

GOBBER Oh, you don't know that.

STOICK I do know that, actually.

GOBBER No, you don't.

STOICK No, actually I do.

GOBBER No you don't!

STOICKListen! You know what he's like.

From the time he could crawl he's

been...different. He doesn't

listen.

STOICK (CONT'D) Has the attention span of a

sparrow. I take him fishing and he

goes hunting for... for trolls.

GOBBER (DEFENSIVE) Trolls exist! They steal your

Socks.

(DARKLY) But only the left ones. What's with

that?

"No they don't. They steal your memories." Slade said smiling like he knew something they didn't.

STOICK When I was a boy...

GOBBER (GRUMBLING) Oh here we go.

STOICK My father told me to bang my head

against a rock and I did it. I

thought it was crazy, but I didn't

question him. And you know what

happened?

GOBBER You got a headache.

STOICK That rock split in two. It taught

me what a Viking could do, Gobber.

He could crush mountains, level

forests, tame seas!

"That is in no way possible for any human or viking." Slade said.

"Of course we can. Vikings are only rivaled by the Gods them selves." Stoick said.

"If that is true why haven't you won the war with the dragons in 300 years?" Slade said in a smug tone. His only answer was a glare.

Even as a boy,

I knew what I was, what I had to

become.

(BEAT) Hiccup is not that boy.

GOBBER You can't stop him, Stoick. You can

only prepare him.

(BEAT) Look, I know it seems hopeless. But

the truth is you won't always be

around to protect him. He's going

to get out there again. He's

probably out there now.

ON STOICK, as Gobber's words hit their mark.

EXT. WOODS - DAY

ON AN OPEN NOTEBOOK

A drawn map of the island, covered in X's.

Hiccup looks up from it and peeks over a gorge, expectantly.

Sees nothing.

He adds another 'X' to the page, then scratches his pencil

over the whole map in frustration. He snaps the book closed

and pockets it.

HICCUP Uggh, the gods hate me. Some people

lose their knife or their mug. No,

not me. I manage to lose an entire

dragon.

Hiccup WHACKS a low-hanging branch. It SNAPS back at him,

hitting him in the face.

"Only you could make an innocent tree hurt you." Snot said.

He looks up to see a snapped tree

trunk. His eyes follow it to a long trench of up-turned

earth.

He follows it to a downed, black dragon, its body and tail

tangled in a bola. It appears dead. Hiccup approaches,

beaming.

The entire room goes quiet in shock. Hiccup is right in-front of the night fury.

HICCUP (CONT'D) (IN SHOCK) Oh wow. I did it. I did it. This

fixes everything.

(ELATED) Yes!

He strikes a victory pose, planting his foot on the fallen

Night Fury.

HICCUP (CONT'D) I have brought down this mighty

beast!

It suddenly shifts.

HICCUP (CONT'D) Whoa!

Hiccup springs back, terrified. He turns his blade on it.

Rattled, Hiccup creeps along the length of the weak, wounded

dragon, dagger poised to strike.As he reaches the head, Hiccup finds the Night Fury staringcoldly at him. Hiccup tries to look away, but he's drawn backto its unnerving, unflinching stare.With the dragon safety tangled in the ropes, Hiccup jabs withhis dagger, puffing himself up with false bravado.

That's it for this time.
