1.

Stoick (Gerard Butler): When I was a boy…


Gobber (Craig Ferguson): Oh here we go.


Stoick (Gerard Butler): …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 you know what happened?


Gobber (Craig Ferguson): You got a headache.


Stoick (Gerard Butler): That rock split in two! It taught me what a Viking can do, Gobber, he can, he can crush mountains, level forests, tame seas! Even as a boy, I knew what I was, what I had to become… Hiccup is not that boy.


Gobber (Craig Ferguson): You can’t stop him, Stoick. You can only prepare him. 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!!

2.

Hiccup (Jay Baruchel): Please, two minutes! I’ll kill a dragon, my life will get infinitely better… I might even get a date!

3.

Astrid (America Ferrera): YOU SON OF A HALF-TROLL, RAT-EATING, MUNGE-BUCKET!

4.

Hiccup (Jay Baruchel): 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.

5.

Hiccup (Jay Baruchel): Thanks for stopping by and for the, uh, the breast-hat…

6.

Hiccup (Jay Baruchel): We’re Vikings. It’s an occupational hazard.

7.

Hiccup (Jay Baruchel): Everything we know about you guys is wrong.

8.

Gobber (Craig Ferguson): 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.

9.

Hiccup (Jay Baruchel): Three hundred years, and I’m the first Viking who wouldn’t kill a dragon!


Astrid (America Ferrera): First to ride one, though. So…?


Hiccup (Jay Baruchel): I wouldn’t kill him, because he looked as frightened as I was. I looked at him… and I saw myself.

10.

Hiccup (Jay Baruchel): This is Berk. It snows nine months 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.
