Dragons: Riders of Berk (2012–2014): Season 1, Episode 8 - Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Man - full transcript

When Stoick has a portrait of himself and Hiccup painted for the collection in the Great Hall, Hiccup ends up depicted as a strong, burly Viking, not his usual skinny self.

1x08 - Portrait of Hiccup
As a Buff Man

Let's go, bud.

- Cool.
- Wow.

- Wow, nice.
- He's pretty good.

Measuring up to
a Viking father isn't easy,

especially when that Viking father
is also the Chief of your village,

so when you get a chance to
prove yourself, you jump on it.

Shoulders back, chin up, son.

This portrait's gonna
hang in this hall forever.

No, no good, no good, no good!

I can't do this!
[groans]



Okay, I'm good.

I have never seen Bucket like this.

Well, when he lost half his brain,
he suddenly became... [exhales]

...an artist.
[paint squishing]

- Huh.
- So he can actually paint.

Oh, he's the best.
He's gonna do us proud, son.

This portrait's gonna take its place

alongside all the other
Chiefs and their sons.

That is the only picture
of my father and me.

It was a great day.

And so is this.

Chest out, son.
[inhales]

Yeah, this is as out as it goes, Dad.

Yah. Very well, then.



[overlapping chatter]

Look at all these great leaders,

and tomorrow, your
picture's gonna be hanging

right next to them.
[snorts]

There goes the neighborhood.

You are part of an
elite group now, my friend,

and one of the few who wasn't
killed by their successor.

- So far. [chuckling]
- I guess it is a pretty big deal.

I mean, it's like being
a part of history, right?

History of goofballs.
[chuckles]

- What a clown.
- That is Hamish the first.

He was our richest and
most revered leader,

and his son Hamish the second.

I'm Hamish the first.
Bow down before me

and kiss my pointy shoes.
[chuckling]

[kiss] [groans]
Oof!

[laughter]

Ahh!
[laughter]

Look what you did to the Hamishes!

Forgive us, please?
[groans]

What's that?
It's probably mine.

Looks like some sort
of map with poetry.

- I'll take that.
- Hey! That's my poetry map.

All of these were
supposed to be destroyed.

Why?
What's so special about it?

Men lost their limbs,
their lives and their minds

- trying to find that treasure.
- I've heard about this.

The treasure of Hamish the first.

His son buried him with
it and left this map.

They say the clues are so complicated

that only a brilliant
mind could decipher them.

Stoick and I even
went after this treasure.

It lured us high up into the
mountains in a blinding snowstorm.

We fought like badgers over
the meaning of the clues.

We were lucky to make
it back with our lives

and our friendship intact.

For your own good, kids,
forget you ever saw this.

[crowd noise, chatter]

Here it comes, son.
This is our legacy.

[applause]

Whoa.

- Whoa. What happened to Hiccup?
- Who cares?

Hey, Bucket?
Why am I so... like that?

Why is the sky blue?
Why do I have a bucket on me head?

We'll never know the answers.

Oh, you did a brilliant job, Bucket.
Don't you think so, son?

- But it's not me.
- Sure, it is.

It's you, but...
you know, bigger, stronger.

- Now, that's the son of a Chief.
- You see what I mean?

Unbelievable.

My father likes that painting
better than the real me.

I mean, think about it.
Even my name!

You know, it's Viking tradition to call
the runt of the litter a hiccup.

Come on, little hiccup.
[sheep baaing]

Oh! Hey, Hiccup.

See? What do I have to do
to get my father to accept me?

He does accept you.
He just accepts the painting more.

Wha-what are you doing out here?

Nothing.
Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

Okay, okay, where are they?

Who? Hoo-hoo?
Hoo-hoo?

[groans]
Hoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo!

[groans]
What are you doing?

[groans]
I've got the map.

We're finding that treasure,
and you are a horrible lookout.

You heard what Gobber said.
The bravest warriors

in history have died
trying to find that treasure.

Yeah, and I'm next.

Well, I personally would like
to live to see my next birthday.

But we'll be legends.
They'll sing songs about us.

You'll be dead. Come on, guys.
Not even Stoick could find it.

You're right. He couldn't.

G-give me that map.

- Finally, someone is making sense.
- All right, where do we start?

- Are you serious?
- Well, think about it, Astrid.

My father couldn't find that treasure.

What... what would he
say if I did something

that even Stoick the Vast
couldn't do?

I... how great would that be?

You're gonna go after this
no matter what I say, right?

So yeah, pretty great.

So you're not gonna give
me a hard time about this?

Oh, I'll give you a hard
time every step of the way.

Besides, I can't let
you go with just them.

Harder.
I said I wanna see stars.

[groans]
[sighs]

It looks like the map
leads you to these spots.

And the riddles are clues
to what we're supposed to find.

Blah, blah, blah.
Where's the treasure?

Hmm, clue number one.
"Where the land meets the sea

"in the crook of the master's knee,

that's where your
search will be-gin."

- That doesn't sound so brilliant.
- Okay, think, think, think, think, think.

Think, think...
I forgot what I was thinking about.

"The master's knee."

I've seen this before.

Look, right there, where his knee bends.

It's pointing to this spot on the beach.
That's where we start.

[hisses]
[growls]

[sighs]
Listen up, you guys.

"From here, you will see
the seed that's been sown.

Look to where water turns to bone."

Water turns to bone?
Hamish isn't even trying to make sense.

No, it...
"water turns to bone."

Water turns to bone.

He must mean ice!
The glacier.

You had the map, and
you didn't destroy it?

- What were you thinking?
- I know. I'm an idiot.

I thought maybe you and
I could take another crack

at finding that treasure.

- Gobber!
- We turned back too early.

- So we lost a couple of toes.
- [groans] Come on, Gobber.

We've got to find Hiccup and the others
before they get themselves killed.

[sighs] Why would he
do something like this?

- There's something in there.
- I bet that guy saw it too.

"Call on Magni, you'll go astray.
Freya, though, will show the way."

I get it.

[metal squeaks]

No!

We can't break the ice.

That's what Magni means.
He's the god of strength.

That's right!
And Freya...

- Is the goddess of fire!
- Is the goddess of fire!

And that's exactly
what we're gonna use.

Toothless, you know what to do.

[grunts]

Light 'em up.

[grunts]

Ow.
[groans]

That's it?
This is the treasure?

No. Can't be,
but I bet this'll lead us to it.

- Take us to the treasure.
- Let me know if it answers.

This is just the first piece.

[groans]
Whoa!

[shouts]
[groans]

Toothless!

Toothless!

[low roar]

Night Fury prints.
They were here... [sniffs]

about an hour ago.

I'll never understand
how you do that.

What does "an hour ago"
smell like, Gobber?

Not as strong as a half-hour ago.

[glaciers falling]
Look.

The kids must've found
something up there.

It was in the glacier.
I knew it!

Oh, ya knew it, did ya?

Well, how come we spent
a week digging in the sand?

That was your idea.

Hiccup got further in one
afternoon than we got in a month.

Yeah. Looks like the little
Hiccup's got the best of us,

and we think we're the
big, strong Vikings.

- What are you saying, Gobber?
- Stoick, it's the painting.

Ah, of course.
He's trying to prove himself.

[dragons groaning]

"At the edge of the world,
amidst the raging sea,

"in the serpent's mouth
lies another key."

Serpents?
I hate serpents.

- Those are reptiles, right?
- You do realize you're sitting on one.

[groans]
Hey, that cloud looks like a snake.

Yeah, and in five minutes,
it'll look like a bunny.

Wait... wait... wait a minute.
He might be on to something.

"In the mouth lies the key."

Look, right there!

Toothless, let's go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Are you crazy?

You can't take
a Night Fury with a wingspan

of 48 feet and expect him
to hover in winds like that!

- You'll be killed.
- Well, what's the wingspan of Meatlug?

[wind whistles]

- Keep her steady.
- Oh, Thor. Oh...oh, Thor.

Do we really need that treasure?
Isn't our friendship treasure enough?

[groans]

[groans]

I can't reach it.

- Okay, we tried. "a" for effort.
- Hold on.

[wind whistles]

Okay.

Come on. Come on.

No.

Yes, got it!

How's that for a Hiccup?

[growls]

Look, they fit together.
We must be on the right track.

Hiccup, what are you gonna do
with your part of the treasure?

- I'm not really here for the treasure.
- Great. I get his share.

You know, you don't
have to do this, right?

Yeah, try tellin' that to my Dad.

This must be the spot.

Why else would anybody build
a wall in the middle of the woods?

Uh, duh,
to keep out the other trees.

Well, I got another one for ya.

"The world is right when stars align.
When not in sync, the danger you'll find."

Stars? I'm not waitin'
around here till night.

No, I don't think
he means actual stars.

I mean, the water didn't
really turn to bone.

Well, what do you
think it means, Hiccup?

Why are you asking him?
Maybe I know.

I said maybe.
Turns out I don't.

Huh... There are shapes carved
into each one of these bricks.

People, look out for
anything that looks like a star.

Got one!

- Oh.
- Put it back! Put it back!

Put it back!
[groans]

Hookfang!

[screaming]
Hookfang!

Okay, it says "in sync."
That means there must be another star.

- Over here!
- I think we're supposed

to pull them out at the
same time. Ruff, Tuff.

[dragons cooing]

[rumbling]

- Oh.
- Wow, this is amazing.

Whoa.

[growls]

Oh, man.

Uh, it's so hot.
Is anybody else hot?

'Cause I'm really hot.

I know. I'm sweating like
a dragon at an eel party.

Uh, guys, is it just me,
or is the floor moving?

Uh, Toothless, can
you give us some light?

[growls]

That's why it's so hot in here:
Fireworm dragons.

Whoa.

Stop! Their skin burns
hotter than the sun.

Yeah, but how hot
can the sun really be?

Ouch!
Ow, ahh!

Whoa.

[screams]
Ahh!

[yelling and groaning]

Uh... oof!

- Grab 'em and let's go!
- No. It's a choice.

Listen to this, guys.
"Something pure and something strong,

look first to yourself,
and you won't go wrong."

Strong.
That must be the one made of iron.

But iron's not pure.
Take the gold.

[hisses]

It's getting really hard to breathe.

That's what happens when
you're getting roasted alive.

You might wanna
make a decision soon, Hiccup.

We don't have much time.

[sighs]
[groans]

Whoa... ee-yah!

- "Look to yourself."
- Careful. It could be a trap.

[rumbling]

Hiccup!

[groans]
[screams]

Oh, no! Hurry!
Where'd he go? Hiccup!

[groans]
We gotta get outta here!

- Through there!
- No! We're not leaving them!

If we don't go now,
we'll all be trapped.

There won't be anybody to help Hiccup.

[snarls]

We gotta find some way out of here.

Give us some light, bud?

[groans]

I wonder.

[gasps]

[moans]

We'll, we've come this far.

[gulps and moans]

[kids grunting]

Keep digging!

[groans]
We gotta find them!

Find who?

Son.

Well.

"This treasure was
passed from father to son.

I leave it to you, the next worthy one,
for only a Hiccup could get this far.

From one to another,
be proud of who you are."

Whoa, Hamish the second
was a hiccup...

[grunts]
...just like me.

He knew only another one
of us could find this place.

Look at all this stuff.

I guess being a hiccup isn't
such a bad thing after all.

Wow, so Hamish two really loved
pedestals and, apparently, riddles.

"In between the body and mind,
a choice must be made on what you find.

"At this moment, you must look to yourself,
as only one path will give you true wealth."

[groans]

Oh, come on, Hamish.
You're killing me.

[groaning] Keep digging!
That's my son in there!

[rumbling]

Hiccup.

- Son.
- Hey, Dad.

[laughs] Oh.

Yeah...
uh, Dad, I can't breathe.

- Oh! Hiccup!
- All: How are you? Are you okay?

- What happened?
- Blah, blah, blah.

Who cares?
Where's the treasure?

- This is Hamish's real son.
- That's not treasure.

To a father, it is.
I never meant to make you feel

like ya had to do somethin' like this.

I know, Dad, but I had
to do it... for myself.

I've spent most of my life
trying to prove to my Dad

that I can be his kind of Viking.

As it turns out, I already was.
