Dragons: Riders of Berk (2012–2014): Season 3, Episode 17 - BAD MOON RISING - full transcript

[title music]

[Hiccup] This changes everything.

_

Are you sure you've got the recipe right?

Of course I'm sure.

- Three parts limestone...
- [Snotlout] Whoo-ho-ho-hoo!

- Uh-huh. Three parts limestone.
- Uh-huh.

Give it all you got, bud.

- Two parts sandstone...
- Sandstone, check.

One part iron ore.

- Up high. Down low.
- Yeah.



And now, [softly] the secret ingredient.

[snarls]

One giant spoon of cooled
and hardened Gronckle lava.

[Gobber] Gronckle Lava!
Of course!

[Ruffnut struggling]

Voil?!

You have Gronckle Iron.

All right.
Let's see how your Gronckle Iron

holds up against a close range spine shot.

- Be our guest.
- Stormfly! Spines!

[snarls]

[panting] Giant, furry...

- teeth.
- Tuff, no!

Even the teeth were furry.



[iron clangs]

Thank Loki!

You guys are not gonna believe
what just happened to me. It was...

We'll talk in a little bit.

There I was, me and my inner nut.

- Tuff, what happened out there?
- It was dark.

So dark, Hiccup, not even the
moon to light my merry way.

And then all of a sudden,
out of the darkness,

red eyes, ferocious teeth,

a growl that could peel
the beak off a chicken!

[clucking]

Sorry. Metaphor.

It grabbed me and tossed me around
[clucking]

like a rag doll, a very handsome rag doll.

And then, it left me for dead.

Tuffnut, can you tell us anything else
about what attacked you?

It was far too fast.

Too cagey, too quick...
Give me another adjective.

Ooh, how about, "imaginary"?
[all laughing]

Laugh and guffaw, if you must.

But would an imaginary beast
give you one of these?

[clucking]

Oh, there's nothing anywhere
that matches this.

The Book of Dragons, Bork's papers,

even the Dragon Eye.

- Won't be in any of those.
- Gobber?

It's obvious we're all thinking
the same thing.

Well, I can pretty much
guarantee you we're not.

But why don't you tell us
what you're thinking, Gobber?

Lycanwing.

The Lycanwing Dragon is a rare beast,
and a vicious one at that.

Those who survive its bite
are not actually survivors at all.

They are doomed to a life
as half-man, half-Lycanwing.

At the height of every full moon,

the condemned Viking transforms
into a terrifying dragon!

Wings the size of a house,

teeth stronger than Gronckle Iron

and a thirst for [whispers] blood.
[yelps]

Tuff, the Lycanwing is a legend.
It's not a real dragon.

Gobber, have you ever seen a Lycanwing?

No.

Has anyone on Berk ever seen a Lycanwing?

- Not that I can recall.
- I rest my case.

But the stories... [trembling]

they'll straighten the hairs
on a curly-haired yak.

His name was Kessler!

- That's a weird name.
- Weird kid.

Bright red hair,
eyes as black as night.

And naughty as a Nadder
in a chicken coop.

That's seriously naughty.

Am I right? High three.

[scoffs] Never mind.

One night, little Kessler,
against his parents' wishes,

went exploring in the forest.

Days went by, no sign of him.
[Fishlegs squealing]

Only a far away scream
coming from the woods.

The little bugger never returned.

[Gobber screams]
[everyone yelps]

Or did he?!
Every year from then on,

when little Kessler's birthday
rolled around,

a red black-eyed dragon
would fly over his parents' house,

and pluck one of their sheep
right out of the paddock!

The dragon would look back,
taunting them.

But I wouldn't worry, Tuffnut.

You're not exhibiting any symptoms.

Hey, hey, hey.
Can we really say for sure

what our pal Tuffnut is exhibiting?

Come on, Gobbster, lay 'em on us.
Just for the sake of argument.

I don't think
that's a good idea, Snotlout.

Well first off, you'd be lookin' at
sensitivity to light.

Aren't you always telling me
that it hurts your head

- when you look into the sun?
- Yeah, I did say that.

[Tuffnut yelps]
Unquenchable thirst.

- You look thirsty.
- Hey! He always looks thirsty!

What else, Gobber?
There's gotta be more than that.

Fidgety arms, on account of
the wings starting to sprout.

[chuckles]
Ow! Watch it, would ya?

- Gee, sorry, I'm fidgety.
- [laughing] What else?

Finally, the overwhelming
desire to eat fresh fish.

[Tuffnut growling]

Tastes terrible!

[laughing] How awesome was that?
What an idiot.

You have no idea what you've done!

[wheels squeaking]

Uh, Tuffnut, what are you doing?

[Tuffnut sighing]

I give you Macey.
Hold her dearly.

She likes sitting by the window,
looking at the moon.

The full moon.
[chuckles] The irony.

Oh, my Thor.
That's so thoughtful.

[mace clanging]

Fishlegs, I give you my favorite bowl.

- Hey, that's my bowl!
- And now, now you have found it.

Eat well, my friend.
Eat well.

Hiccup, Hiccup, Hiccup,

what do you give the
Viking who has everything?

- Here.
- Hey! You can't give me away!

In time, she'll come to you.
She's going to take this hard

and will certainly go through
a prolonged mourning period.

She's gonna need a new twin brother.
I nominate you.

It's a terrible job
and she smells horrible.

You'll have to dress like me
and grow your hair long,

- so there are perks.
- All right, all right. What did I miss?

I'm just... [sighs]
preparing myself.

- For what?
- Astrid, have you seen that moon?

When it rises to its apex,

which I think is a word
that means the tip-top,

I'm going full dragon.
Tuffnut Lycanwing. [laughing]

You're a funny guy, Snotlout.
I'll eat you first.

[snarling, slurping]

Tuff, we went over this.
The Lycanwing is a myth.

It's not real.
You're not turning into a dragon.

- Fishlegs, will you please tell him?
- [nervously] Uh...

Now, I must go and say
my most difficult goodbye of all.

If you'll excuse me.

[laughing]

What did I tell you?
[yelling] What did I tell you?!

You are gonna help me fix this, Snotlout!

[screaming] Ya hear me?!

Wow. They can really get riled up, huh?

[Hiccup grunts]

Barf, Belch, my winged brothers,

I'll see you in the friendly skies.

Who knows? Maybe we'll slide
down a rainbow together.

[clucking]

Okay, you ready?

Hmm, this should work.
Good view, adequate ventilation...

will keep the others safe from me
when I turn.

[clucking]
I feel you, my animal brother.

[inhales deeply, sighs]

My last night as me.

For tomorrow, at this time, alas,
I shall no longer be human.

I will be Tuffnut Lycanwing!

Killing machine!

[snarling]

Changing. Changing!

Well, I did my best.

He's not talking to anyone
but that chicken.

And he's convinced
the moon didn't apex last night,

so it must be tonight.

Talk to me, chicken, talk to me.
What are they saying?

- What are they saying?!
- Well, that's great.

- [Astrid] Is that...
- [Hiccup] Ruffnut. Flying Hookfang?

- Where's Snotlout?
- There he is.

Big lump behind her.
Tear-stained face.

[Ruffnut] Whoa! Oof!
[both groaning]

What a rough one.

[Snotlout groaning]
[Hookfang snarls]

W-What are you two doing?
We could use you right about now.

We've been gathering samples.

- Samples of what?
- [Hiccup] Aah!

[Ruffnut] Dragon bites.
One of these has to match Tuff's

and convince him that this Lycanwing deal

is just another one
of his paranoid fantasies.

And, why is Snotlout...

He started this stupid thing
with his impressive,

yet sinister, powers of suggestion.

It's all Snotlout's fault
my dopey brother thinks

he's turning into a dragon.

[Snotlout groaning]

Well, looks like you
earned this one, Snotlout.

- Not so funny now, is it?
- No, Ruffnut, not funny at all.

Let's go, pal.
[Snotlout continues groaning]

[Fishlegs] Hiccup! Hiccup!
Oh, you're not gonna believe this.

I was at my wit's end,
trying to think of something,

anything that could help with this,
when my perfect little angel

crushed my desk and look what I found!

It's the one you found
in the cave with Gustav.

I've been meaning to give
it back to you, Hiccup.

I'm usually not so
irresponsible with artifacts.

Fishlegs, we have
got to go see what's on it!

[Tuffnut] I'm telling
you, it's not flat.

It's gotta be round or
oblong. At very least.

Think about it.
The moon, round. Sun, round.

My head, oblong.

Uh, I hate to interrupt
this fascinating debate, but...

Stand back, sis! It's not safe
to be around me right now.

I could go at any minute.

[clucking]
Yeah, whatever.

Just hold out your arm,
we need to check something.

Oh, for the love of Thor, do it.

I'm pretty sure
I need serious medical attention.

- Whoa, what happened to you?
- Ask her.

- What happened to him?
- He's helping me find out what happened to you.

I think we all know what happened to me.

- Any day now!
- Hold still!

[sighs]

Well, we can cross
Terrible Terror, Night Terror,

Wild Nadder and Gronckle
off the list. Let's go.

I'm not going anywhere with you.
You're stark raving mad!

Let's go, I said!

Okay, okay, I'm coming!
Ow, ow, ow.

This is the last one,
and I'm officialy paid back.

And anyway, how was I supposed
to know that he'd go this crazy?

- What? Have you met my brother?
- Fine. Whatever.

Man, I am so glad you're not my sister.

No. You wish I was your sister.
You think I'd be dragging your butt

all over the jungle risking
your life if my brother

weren't the most important
thing in the world to me?

Think about that!
[groaning]

[music]

Ha-ha, yeah!

[Ruffnut] Uh...
[clucking]

Whoa, awesome. I love the pus.

- What kind of bite is that?
- Sea snake.

- [groaning] I don't feel so good.
- Another no match.

Hey. Aren't those things
supposed to be poisonous?

- Don't think so.
- Nah. I'm pretty sure they are.

- Nope, you're wrong.
- I'm pretty sure I'm not.

Oh, guys, there's definite pois...

Hah! Told you. Do I know
my sea snakes, or what?

[groaning]
[Tuffnut] That is seriously creepy.

Hey, should we check his breathing?

Eh, wimp.
[Snotlout groaning]

[grumbles] Well, that's it!
That's every combination I can think of.

Wait, wait! I see something. Okay.

Let's try this. Toothless?

Now, am I crazy, or is that a man
with dragon wings instead of arms?

You're not crazy.

And there he is again,
with a tail to go with the wings.

- Hiccup?
- Can you make out what this says?

[Fishlegs] "No man shall tread
on these shores,

lest he become what he has most feared."

That must be Lycanwing Island.

And that, my friend, is why
we always listen to Gobber.

Hiccup, this Lycanwing,
it could be, well, not a myth.

That island's not far from here.

Why do I get the feeling we're going

on a little Hiccup-Fishlegs
recon mission?

Okay, Fishlegs, if we
do happen to run across

a Lycanwing, we need to
have a really good plan.

How about, don't get bitten?

- That sounds like a good one to me.
- Yup, me too.

Okay, Lycanwing Island, here we come.

[clucking]

Lycanwing Island?

Okay, don't tell anyone, but I
didn't actually believe it before.

I was just trying to mess
with their heads,

ya know, be quirky and eccentric

by giving away my stuff
and locking us in here.

Plus, I get along really well with you.

How could I know it'd come to this?

[yelling] How could I know it was real?!

[clucking]

[yelling] How could I know?!
[growls]

[whispers] How could I know?

Okay, Toothless, give us some light.

[wings flapping]

[Fishlegs screams]

Let's go, Fishlegs.

Don't worry, I'll be right
next to you the whole time.

All right, this better match

'cause I don't know how
much more he can take. Tuff?

- Do you see what I see, Snotlout?
- [mumbling] I don't know.

I think I've gone blind
from all the venom. Ugh!

He's out. Tuffnut on the loose.

This is bad.

This is very bad.
[Snotlout continues groaning]

[Tuffnut growling, snarling]

I can't be contained, chicken.
Look at that moon.

In a matter of [growls] hours,
it will finally apex,

and I will be transformed
into a great scaly beast

with nothing to do
but feast on my prey!

[growling]

It's like, all my senses are alive
for the first time.

I can feel things, see things,

hear things
I've never been able to before.

You know what I mean, chicken?

Yes, Tuffnut. I understand.

[screams]
What's the problem?

I thought you wanted to
converse with a chicken.

Oh, chicken, I did!
I've longed for this moment.

- Mmm.
- If only it could last forever.

But only a fool
lives his future in the past.

Our time is short, chicken.

Come, our fate awaits.

"Beware the beast.

Turn back before you become him.

Your fate is sealed!"

Did you hear that, Hiccup?
Our fate is sealed!

Fishlegs, we're fine.
It's just an old cave drawing.

I can't believe we're gonna die
chasing an imaginary dragon.

[growling]

Hiccup? There it is!

If I have to go, girl,
I'm glad it's with you.

All right, Toothless, light.

[trembling in fear]

- Look. Its eyes.
- I am not looking into that thing's eyes!

- Do you know me?!
- [Hiccup] Fishlegs! Would you just look?

Hiccup, are those...

Dragon Eye lenses.

Gobber, how's Tuff doing?

[chuckling] Gone. He and the chicken
flew the coop last night.

Said something about taking flight

off the tallest cliff
when he went "full dragon."

- You didn't try to stop him?
- I was a bit busy.

Doing what?

Extracting sea snake venom from Snotlout.

You should've heard him.

He sounded like a yak
being turned inside out.

Well, we better go tell Ruffnut.

Gone, too.
Went to look for her brother.

She seemed to think whether
he was a dragon or not,

he wouldn't survive "the flight."

Dragged Snotlout with her.

Personally, I'm surprised
he made the trip.

The boy's not looking so well.

I don't know if Gobber got it all.
[belches]

I'm starting to feel a little woozy,
and all I see is fog.

It's foggy, you mutton-head.

Hurry up, Snotlout, before Tuffnut
jumps off a cliff or something.

You think when he's a full Lycanwing,

he'll remember
all the nasty stuff I said to him?

Well, he did say
he was gonna eat you first.

Hopefully, it'll be quick.

No, actually,
I hope it'll be slow and painful.

[growling]

I am Lycanwing!

Run! Run for your lives!

[screams] No, no!

- They're all gonna laugh at me!
- [scoffs] Oh, God.

[chicken clucking]

[yelling] Tuffnut! Get back here!

I command thee! Lycanwing!

Oh, slow down. Slow down.

Ah!
[panting]

[low growling]
Huh?

[nervously] Tuff? Is that you, buddy?

[growling]
[screams]

[howling]

The apex is upon us!
Come on, do it with me, chicken.

It feels so good!

And we only have a few moments left
till we can fly! [yelling] Fly!

Riding high, the currents of the wind

blowing through our hair!

I mean, your feathers,
you have feathers, not hair.

[yelling] Free from the bonds
that bind humankind!

[clucking]

We have to fly away, right?

I would never forgive myself if I
ate the other Dragon Riders. [snarls]

I mean, on the other hand though,

I'm sure as a dragon,
I would find them delicious,

especially that Fishlegs.

Good Thor,
he looks like a marshmallow.

Flesh colored
and with a little hair on the top.

[squirming, growling]

It's happening.
Ah, it's happening. I can feel it!

Are you ready, chicken?
Are you finally ready to be free?

[Ruffnut screaming] Tuff, don't do it!

Ugh! We've been through this, chicken.

Don't try and impersonate my sister!

We made a pact. I'm doing it,
and you're coming with me.

Tuffnut, it's me.
Look at me, bro.

- You can fight this!
- I can't, sis.

You don't know the hold it has on me.
It has its claws in me.

What if we fight it together?
We do everything together.

We always have!

Look! I refuse to spend the rest
of my life doing anything alone.

[yelling] Do you hear me?!

[whimpers]
You always were the brave one.

Mom should have named you Tuffnut.

But she didn't.
She named you Tuff.

I'm begging you!
You know how much I hate to beg!

Just get down from there.

It's too late to stop the
[groans] metamorphosis.

Can you not see what I've become?!

[growling]

[Hiccup] Tuff, stop!

There is no metamorphosis, all right?

You are not turning into a dragon.
Fishlegs, please tell him.

It's true. We found
the cave of the Lycanwing.

It was just a myth
to keep people away from these.

No. No!
I don't believe you.

Look at me, I'm hideous.
I'm terrifying!

Tuff, you're not hideous!
Terrifying at times, yes.

- But hideous, no.
- Well, then how do you explain this?

Can't do it, can you? Hmm?
That's what I thought.

Now, it's time to fly!

Wait, wait, wait! I can explain...
[panting] I can explain it!

Whoa! You look worse than I do.

Uh, Snotlout, what do
you have in that bag?

I have what did this!

[yelps]
The Lycanwing got him, too.

Save yourselves!

It's not a Lycanwing.
It's not even a dragon.

[snarling]
It's a wolf. And I caught him!

You're not turning into a dragon, Tuff.

- I'm not? I'm not!
- We've been trying to tell you.

I just made you think that!
But it's not true.

It's funny, but it's not true.

[Tuffnut screaming]

No...
[clucking]

Don't worry, buddy.
I got you. [clucking]

We're going home, chicken.
We're going home.

Oh, thank Thor.

Oh, I know what you'll say.

You realize how much you love me.

You were scared you were gonna lose me.

And I better never do that again.

Actually, I was just going to
tell you what an idiot you are.

Come here.

[whispering] Thank you.

[clucking]

Uh, Snotlout, where's the wolf?

[Snotlout] Huh?

[growling]
[screams]
