Dragons: Riders of Berk (2012–2014): Season 2, Episode 12 - The Flight Stuff - full transcript

2x12 - The Flight Stuff

Let's go, bud.
[Toothless roars]

[heroic music]

- Yeah.
- Wow.

- Cool.
- Wow.

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

Come on, boy, let's fly!
[sheep bleats]

Whoo-hoo!

[laughs]

Oh, no.
[exhaling deeply]

Oh, no. Oh, no.



What do we do? What do we do?
What do we do?

[sheep bleats]

Gustav, how many times have we told you

you can't play in here?

I'm not playing. I'm dragon training.

Ugh, poor kid.
Ever since I let him

into my inner circle, he wants
to be just like his hero, me.

Gross and annoying?

- No, a dragon rider!
- Look around, kid.

All of the dragon-riding
positions are taken.

So, unless one of us kicks
the bucket, you're out of luck.

- I'm gonna kick the bucket!
- Uh, Snotlout, do you mind?

- We're having a Dagur meeting.
- Dagur's here?

In the last week I've seen three
of the five signposts to Valhalla.



All: We know!

You know?

And you're just standing there
talking about stupid Dagur?

One of your bravest and
most treasured warriors

- is about to leave this world forever!
- Look on the bright side.

- At least you'll be in eternal paradise.
- So will we.

Joke all you want about me,
but what about Hookfang?

The thought of him without me
for the rest of his life, it's just...

- Are you done?
- No, not even close.

Though devastated and
still in pre-mourning,

Gustav has volunteered to
carry on the Snotlout legacy.

- It's an honor.
- Please tell me

he's not gonna fly around
saying, "oy, oy, oy."

That's a good idea.
Gustav, make a note of that.

Snotlout, the five signposts to Valhalla
is nothing but an old wives' tale.

Oh, yeah? Then why have I seen
the flying fish, the weeping rock,

- and the singing trees?
- You probably saw a salmon spawning,

wet rocks on the beach,
and a gust of wind.

Besides, the five
signposts to Valhalla

are only supposed to
happen to great warriors.

Obviously. What's your point?

Even if it were true, which it is not,

you can't just pick
someone to replace you.

Well, you guys threw
out my original plan.

To bury Hookfang alive beside you?

He would gladly sacrifice
himself for his beloved master.

Trust me.

Okay, let's just say,
for argument's sake,

you've seen three of the five signposts.

It doesn't mean anything.
There are still two left.

[thud]
Aah!

Oh, no! Oh, no!

The fourth signpost...
the bird of death!

It's not the bird of death.
It's just a dead chicken.

It's not the same thing, right, guys?

Both: Sure it is. Definitely.

Bird of death.

We're on the clock, little man.

We're starting your
training immediately.

[sighs] Fine.

The rest of us have to keep
an eye on Outcast island.

While we're gone, try not
to take anyone else with you

- to eternal paradise.
- I make no promises.

[sighs]

I can't get a good look.

Well, they're building something,
and I'm guessing it's not good.

All right, I say we blow it up!

I say that's the best
idea I've heard all week.

Tuff, we've been over this.

We don't shoot first
and ask questions later.

- Of course. We never ask questions.
- We'll keep an eye on it.

If it turns out to be something
we have to worry about, then...

- We blow it up?
- Okay.

Okay, pay attention, Gustav.
This is a Monstrous Nightmare,

the most lethal dragon
in the known world.

Not just anybody can handle
one of these bad boys.

- Whoa.
- I'm sorry!

I don't recall saying
you could touch him.

- Did I say that?
- Uh, no.

The first thing we have to cover
is the proper way to mount a dragon.

This has to be done in a way

that lets the dragon know
who exactly is the boss!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got this.

Whoa!

Yeah, yeah!

Okay, we'll work on that.

Eyes front, recruit!
Now, pay attention to everything I say.

- Sir! Yes, sir!
- This should go well.

- We're not too late, are we?
- Nope. Just about to get interesting.

Oh, thank goodness.
I hate missing violence.

A Monstrous Nightmare in
the hands of a capable rider,

a la me, is a weapon
of unmatched firepower.

It must be treated
with the utmost resp...

Aah!

We'll work on that, recruit!
Was that fun for you?

Aah!

Okay, Gustav, feeding time is bonding
time for a dragon and its rider,

and this is how we bond.

Hookfang, eat!

[growls gently]

You're up, kid. Bring the heat!

- Hookfang, eat!
- Huh?

Ah, ah, ah!

We'll work on that!

I know it's going to be hard on you all

when I'm no longer here,
especially you, Astrid.

But I don't want any tears.

I want you to remember me
with joy in your hearts.

So, think of the good
times we all had together.

It is by the power vested in me

that I hereby pass the
Hookfang horns to Gustav.

Go with Thor, little man,
for he will watch over you...

with lightning bolts and a giant hammer.

Okay, this has gone on long enough.

First of all, you are not dying!

Shh, shh, shh, shh.
Hiccup, it's okay.

Denial is part of the grieving process.

Second of all, no one
vested you with any power.

- No one.
- And even if they did...

Which they didn't.

Gustav is in no way ready
to be a member of this academy.

- No way.
- That's correct, Hiccup.

There's way more to being a dragon rider
than feeding it and getting on its back.

Neither of which he
can do very well, anyway.

None of us are perfect, except for me.

Fishlegs is afraid of heights.
The twins can't count past nine.

Astrid has obvious anger issues, and...

- well, enough said.
- Ugh.

Oh, Astrid, what might have been.

[bones crunching]
[grunts]

I won't feel pain in Valhalla.

Snotlout, for the last time,
you are not going to Valhalla!

Runaway sheep!
[sheep bleating]

Ah! Ah!

"The shepherd's curse."
That's...

[gasps]
The fifth signpost?

Oh, this cannot be happening.
[sheep bleating]

Aah! Avenge me!

Have lamb for dinner!

[bleating continues]

[bleating]

This is Valhalla?
What a rip-off!

Nope, still Berk. You fainted.

More proof that my
warrior's body is failing me.

I don't have much time, Hiccup.

You have to let Gustav take my place.

Gustav is not taking your place.

- He's not ready.
- Well, train me anyway.

Isn't that what you do here?

I thought this was a
Dragon training academy.

Well, Gustav, this academy

- was born out of timing and necessity...
- I thought Stoick gave it to us

and said it was
"just some dragon training academy."

That's not helping.
Gustav, we learned

to be dragon riders the only
way we knew how, by doing.

- It was dangerous, foolhardy...
- And awesome!

- Still not helping.
- What Hiccup is trying to say, Gustav,

- is that you need experience.
- The rider needs experience.

The dragon needs experience.

And the rider and the dragon
together need experience.

- Experience, huh?
- Sorry, Hookfang.

I guess this means
we're back to plan one.

Ruff, Tuff, start digging!

[dragon growls, snorts]
Aah!

Terrible Terrors.
[dragons growling]

Whatever.
[dragons squeak]

Whoa! Aah!

Deadly Nadder.

Hmm. [dragon screeches]

Too spiky.
Unh, whoa!

[boar squeals]

Monstrous Nightmare...

the most lethal dragon
in the known world.

[dragon screeching]

Not just anybody can handle
one of these bad boys.

I'm not just anybody!

[dragon grunts]

Ow!

Whoa!

[dragon growls, roars]

[sniffing]

Okay, feeding time is bonding time.
Bond with this.

Eat!

[dragon growls]

Uh-oh.

[dragon roars]
Aah!

Okay, we're gonna need a diversion

to get a closer look at
whatever Dagur's building.

The flaming funeral pyre on
my flaming funeral pyre ship

- should do the trick.
- Whoa, hold on, hold on.

I thought we were burying
the two of you alive.

[sighs]
Fine, I'll start gathering wood.

Yeah, and I'll start gathering pyres.
[dragon growling]

Whoa!

I, uh... I meant to do that.

Uh, is it me, or did a tiny little
Snotlout and Hookfang just fly in?

[dragon growls]

Gustav, what are you doing here?

Well, you said you didn't
have time to train me,

so I found my own dragon
and trained myself.

Gustav, I'm not so sure we have
the same definition of "trained."

Look how he defies authority.

Hmm. I taught him well.
Now I can go in peace.

- Quit getting my hopes up.
- Fellow dragon riders,

I'd like you all to
meet my dragon, Fanghook.

[dragon roars]

Fanghook? Are you serious?

Don't you have any
respect for authority?

Gustav, we told you,
there's more to being

a dragon rider than
just riding a dragon.

You have to form a bond, a friendship.

- We have it, test us. I'll prove it.
- Test him! Test him!

Test him, test him, test him, test him!

You know, it might
not be the worst idea.

No, I'm pretty sure
it is the worst idea.

Think about it.
Look at Snotlout.

Maybe he needs to see how
easily he can be replaced.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
- Enough said. I'm in.

You know what, Gustav?
You're absolutely right.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. He is?
- Yes, he is.

Let's see you do a lap around
the arena, and land on this mark.

- All right, Fanghook, fire it up!
- Hmm, quite the stirring battle cry.

- Eh, it's all right.
- Yeah!

[laughs]

Uh-oh.

Dragon rider!

- Wow. That was pretty good.
- Pretty good? Are you kidding me?

Is anyone else tired of
listening to Snotlout's ghost?

- Hey, I'm not dead yet.
- You're dead to us.

[grunting]

Okay, bud, show them how it's done.

Fire it up!

[dragon growls]

Weak sauce...
he didn't even hit anything.

Well, that's not quite true.
[sheep bleats]

Bravo. You're all set for
the next sheep rebellion.

But this time we'll win.

Okay, if you guys are really
serious about him replacing me...

We're just following the last
wishes of a legendary warrior.

Besides, no need to replace you.
You're already gone. [laughs]

I really... really thought that
was gonna go right through him,

you know, and I'd be
able to tickle his back.

Let's just see how he does
on one of our obstacle courses.

Okay, on this course, you start
at those big pines, and then you...

You blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

If you think you're good, kid,
you'll keep up with me.

- Fire it up!
- Hey! You stole my battle cry!

Snotlout school in session, Gustav!

And something tells me
you're about to get expelled!

[grunting]

Hey, dead man talking!

I'm on you like an eel
on a three-legged... unh!

Hmm.

[laughs]

You get a "G," as in "fail."

Aah!
[thud]

[coughs, sputters]
Hey, hey, hey!

Don't throw water on him!

Tiny Snotlout will
just shrink more... duh.

- [sputters] How did I do?
- Well, you lasted about two seconds.

But, hey, those two
seconds... awesome.

I got to admit, you're
gonna make a great replacement

for Snotlout, Gustav.

Says who?
Hey, wait a second.

You're trying to
convince me I'm not dying.

What kind of friends are you?

Look, Snotlout, maybe you have seen

the five signposts what
kindto Valhalla. Are you?

And maybe you are going to die someday.

And maybe you could
stop scratching your butt

while I'm talking to you.
[grunting]

Sorry, it's just all this
broadgrass in my shorts.

And your shorts are
full of broadgrass why?

More importantly, why aren't yours?

The twins told me it
prevents saddle chafing.

Oh, they did, did they?

They also let the sheep in,
and sheep love broadgrass.

And I'm guessing you're also the ones
who dropped the bird of death.

We have no idea what
you're talking about.

[chicken clucks]

[chicken shrieks]
Not now!

[chickens clucking]

Ah, oh. I get it.

So this means...
I give up. What does this mean?

It means the twins
were messing with you.

Right, right. And...

- You're not dying!
- I'm alive?

I'm alive! Oh!
Mwah, mwah.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Thor!
[smooching, laughing]

Snotlout's too beautiful to die, anyway.

Ugh! And my lunch is in my throat.

Wait. So this means I
can't be in the academy?

I just wanted to be
a dragon rider so bad!

On the one hand, I sympathize with
your ruthless devotion to your goal.

And on the other hand?

- Ah!
- Hey, get your butt over here! [laughs]

- I'm gonna get you!
- Son, we need to talk.

Trader Johann just got
back from Outcast island.

He overheard Dagur
saying he's getting ready

to test-fire some sort of new weapon.

That must be what we saw him building.

I'll take a couple riders,
and we'll get a closer look tonight.

All right, but don't engage the enemy.

This is a scouting mission,
not a battle mission.

They may not engage the
enemy, but we will, Fanghook.

And then they'll have
to let us in. [laughs]

There are a lot of Berserkers down there.

- What's our diversion?
- Allow me.

Yoo-hoo!
[dragon roars]

That's right! Follow me, boys!

What is it? What is going on?

A single dragon rider's
been sighted, heading west!

- Was it the Night Fury?
- No, sir. It was the girl.

The girl?
Oh, good. [chuckles]

Astrid's drawn them far enough away.

Let's get down there and
see what Dagur is up to.

[dragon roars in distance]

- Dragon rider, dead ahead!
- Nobody move. This one is mine.

You're so predictable, Hiccup.

Hold. Hold steady.

Now!

[horn sounding]

- No, it's a trap!
- Yeah!

Oh, ooh, ah! Whoa!

- Again!
- Returning fire!

Who in the name of Thor is that?

- Gustav?
- Oh, great.

Fanghook, evasive maneuvers!

[Berserkers shouting]

[rumbling, shouting continues]

- No!
- Oh, no.

Save it for Hiccup!
I want that Night Fury!

Oh! Just... what...

Okay, that solves the Gustav problem.

Interested in a lamb
dinner on the way home?

Are you k... Snotlout!

- We have to save him!
- [sighs] Fine!

- Metal trap moving into position, sir!
- Now!

[creaking]

- Fire it up!
- For the last time, that's my battle cry.

- I know. Now use it.
- Fanghook, fire it up!

Ow!

Oh, no. Oh, no.
Let's get out of here!

There's the Night Fury!
Ready the metal trap!

[laughs]

[dragon growls]

- Got ya!
- I'm on my way, Hiccup!

Come on, Gustav, we're going down there.

- No way. I'm getting out of here.
- You're not going anywhere.

You wanted experience.
This is how you get it.

I don't know, Snotlout.
I don't think I can do this.

Listen to me, kid.
You're flying the Monstrous Nightmare,

the most lethal dragon
in the known world.

You can do it, and you will do it.

[Berserkers shouting]
[laughs]

[dragon roars]
Got you now!

You know what? I will do it.

- Keep it secure! Hold it down!
- Just give me a reason.

[laughs]

[cackles]

Both: Fire it up!

Whoa!

[all shouting]

Aah!

Toothless, fire.

Ah! Oh, no! Help!

My plan was perfect!
I had the Night Fury in my clutches.

Why didn't it work?
Why, why, why?

Uh, sir, I think the problem
may have been in the, um, execution.

Execution.
Did somebody say "execution"?

- Now we're getting somewhere.
- Is he now?

[shouting]

- Thanks, guys. Nice shooting.
- By me.

- His eyes were closed.
- Hey, it was scary.

[laughter]

So there was no secret weapon
being test-fired?

No, it was all a trap.

Dagur must have intentionally leaked
the information to Trader Johann.

Ah, he's as crafty as he is crazy.

Well, I'm glad you're all safe.

So I guess I'm not
in the Dragon academy, huh?

I'll tell you what, Gustav.

How about we make you our
very first junior apprentice

auxiliary reserve
backup replacement rider?

- In training.
- Fourth-class.

Yes!

You realize, however, that
means you have to study.

- Got it!
- Clean out the dragon stalls.

- Check!
- And no more

unauthorized dragon flying.
Neither of you are ready.

[dragon growls softly]
I understand.

Go on, Fanghook!
Be free!

[dragon growls]

Oh.

[dragon growls] Go on!
I said go already!

[dragon snorts]

Uh, I know that was hard,

- but it was the right thing to do.
- I know.

[chuckles] And you
thought he could replace me?

Uh, no one can replace you.

- And don't you forget it.
- You coming, Gustav?

No, I just want to
be alone for a minute.

[whistles]

[dragon growls]

Fanghook!
So what should we practice today?

[laughs]
