Dragons: Riders of Berk (2012–2014): Season 3, Episode 19 - THE ZIPPLEBACK EXPERIENCE - full transcript

[title music]

[Hiccup] This changes everything.

_

[grunts] All right, guys. Let's drop
the foundation right about here.

That should work. Perfect location.

I, for one, couldn't be
happier that we're finally...

Setting up the new watchtower.
We know.

We've been hearing
about it for the past...

oh, I don't know, week, month...
What comes next?

Guys, look, this is important.

We've been seeing ships
off the northern coast



that have absolutely
no reason to be there.

Now with this, we can send
an early warning signal

if they come into our waters.

If you're talking about Dagur
and Ryker, and that's who I assume

- we're talking about...
- Actually, I wasn't referring to...

How about this? Whoever's out there
that shouldn't be out there,

let's just get on these very effective
fire-breathing war machines,

and go out and blast them into oblivion.

Because that's not who we are.

Since when do we go blasting
people into oblivion?

Don't worry, Hookster.
He doesn't speak for us.

[Ruffnut and Tuffnut] Whoo-hoo!

[Snotlout] Or them.
Definitely not for them.

Here we go!



Oh, I love to cut through
the fresh powder. Don't you, sis?

Yeah! Just like a warm knife
through yak butter!

[Ruffnut] Whoo!

Blast! Blast!
Yeah, yeah! Zippleback, baby!

Those two muttonheads better
not bring all that snow

- up there down on us.
- It's not the snow I'm worried about.

[ice cracking]

It's the ice!

[Tuffnut shouting]

[both grunting in pain]

[both groaning]
[Ruffnut] That hurt.

[both shouting]

- Barf!
- Belch!

Come on, bud!

[snorting]

[Barf and Belch grunting]

[Tuffnut grunting] Whoa!

[Tuffnut groans]

[Stormfly snorts]

Okay, I get it. You're welcome.

Uh, Hiccup, I wouldn't do that
if I were...

- [grunts] ...you.
- Oh, right.

Oh. Uh, can you put me down, guys?

[grunts in pain]

And it's for moments like these
that I always carry a spare.

So, if that's all you need from us, then

- we'll just be going back to...
- Toothless? [roars]

- Hey, your dragon just shot at us!
- Yes, I know. I told him to.

Not cool, T. Not cool at all.

[Toothless growls]

Anyway, since you two seem so
eager to spend some time away from

the group, you get to pull the
first two shifts of patrol duty.

- He's really become a tyrant.
- Power'll do that to you.

[screeching]

[grunts] This leg needs to be
filed down, it's pinching me.

[screams]

Oh, for the love of Thor!
Who did this?!

Wait a minute. Why am I even asking?
Ruff?! Tuff?!

Oh, I got another shift
with your names on it!

Really?
You're eating the evidence?

[Toothless growls]

All right, where are they?
I guess you just look for a fire

or any other catastrophe,
they'll be close by.

[dragon screeching]

Huh? What the...

[Toothless grunting]

[Hiccup] Don't! B... Belch!
No, no, no, you drop me!

You drop me right now!
[grunting]

Whoa!

Toothless!

Ah!
[sighing]

You all there, bud? I think I am.
And I spoke too soon.

[snorts]

Oh, don't worry, bud.
I always carry a spare for my spare.

[screeching]

Wait a minute, it was you guys?
You left me all that fish?

Oh, okay, if you guys are
here, and the twins are

Thor knows where, then
who's patrolling the island?

[men grunting]

[screeching]

- Dragon sentries!
- Oh, this'll put it to sleep for a bit.

[dragon screeches]

[Ruffnut] This is all your fault.

My fault? My fault?!

It's your attitude, bro.
It's always been your attitude.

And it finally drove our
beloved dragon away!

My attitude? My attitude is fun,

carefree, adventurous,
and loves long walks.

And it doesn't matter
if it's on a beach or not.

- You're ridiculous.
- Oh, yeah? Well... [sniffs]

you smell like a barrel
of 20-year-old cod livers.

- That's what drove them away.
- Hey! This smell is not achieved easily.

Hiccup, you found 'em!

Where did you two go?
You had us worried sick.

Wait, where'd they go? Well,
let's start with they filled

my hut with fish, crashed me
and Toothless out of the sky.

And for their finale,
they broke my second spare... leg.

So, if my calculations are correct,
and they usually are...

That would mean
that our dear Hiccup is on his...

[both] Last leg!
[laughing]

Get it? See what we did?
It's because of your leg.

[Tuffnut] You don't have any more.
[Ruffnut laughs]

- I think he gets it.
- Yeah, yeah. Listen.

Well, if you wanna flip the script,
the new leg is slimming.

Not that you need to be slimmed. I mean,

I think, for your height,
you've probably an ideal weight.

The four of you belong together.
Now, please, can you get back on patrol

and try to keep these two...
well... Oh, just go.

Last leg.
[growls]

Oh, don't laugh, Toothless.
You're above that.

[Tuffnut] Bad dragon!
[grunting]

- Attitude!
- Cod livers!

Oh, for the love of...

Okay, bud. Let's ditch the Zippleback.

[music]

Oh, get away from me, you crazy dragon!

[snorting]

Ugh. Are you serious?

I think we lost 'em.

[growling]

And they're behind me, right?

[growling]

[growling]

I think I'm starting to see
Zipplebacks in my sleep.

[snorting]

Ah!
[growling]

What, what? Ah!

Oh, no, wait. Don't!

[boom]

[coughing]

Okay.

[exclaiming]

Ugh!

[growls]

Those hides will fetch a high price
at the northern markets.

Focus. That's not what we're here for.

Well, how are we supposed to take him
if he's guarded by two dragons?

We wait until he's not guarded
by two dragons.

Give me those.

- What is this?
- A neck hug?

I never got a neck hug.

So, you ruined all your legs, eh?
Every single one?

[grunts]

Well, all but this piece of garbage.

Which, let's be honest, can we really
call it a leg? I mean...

Uh...

Oh, right. Of course we can.

It's very slimming on you, Gobber.

[Barf and Belch snorting]

Really? Right in front of our faces?

We're here, you know. Right here!

That's weird. Zipplebacks
are normally fiercely loyal.

Why are they doting on Hiccup
and ignoring you two?

Well, didn't Hiccup pull them
out of the way of a deadly avalanche?

- Yeah...
- Well, there you go.

Same thing as my cousin, Bard.

He saved a Zippleback from a Changewing.

The two-headed beast wouldn't
leave him alone... for years.

- So, this could go on for...
- Ever. It's a life-debt.

Barf and Belch will now serve Hiccup
for the rest of their lives

or until the debt is repaid.
Whichever comes first.

D-Does this mean we could be stuck
with Barf and Belch forever?

Does this mean we could lose
Barf and Belch forever?

Yes, and yes.

[snorting]

[music]

[screeching]

Toothless!

Ah.

Oh, no!

No! I'm so scared and in need of help!

Barf! Belch! Please, help me!

Wait, no, that's not the sa...

What happened?
They were supposed to save you.

Great. You're not... not helping me.

Hey, they're playing "Bat the Nutt"!

- Ruff, hurry. "Bat the Nutt."
- I got next!

Ah!

Guys, the point was for Barf and Belch
to think they're saving my life.

You're right, Hiccup.
Our dragon is way too smart for this.

Exactly. I guess we'll have
to put you in some real danger.

[both laugh mischievously]

Uh... that's not what I meant.

Now, Tuff!

This is the best plan to kill Hiccup ever.

- You mean pretend to kill Hiccup?
- Sure. Tomayto, tomahto.

Come on, Barf and Belch.
Let's get moving.

Logs rolling. Skinny lives to save.

Oh, Thor!

[snorting]

[roaring]

[sighs in relief]

Thanks, bud.

So close yet again.

We need to account for
the topography next time.

True that. Stupid tree.

[growls]

Too dumb. Not dangerous enough.
That can't work.

Wait. Wow!
That is awesome.

Hiccup would never go for it.
Would he?

No. That's way too destructive.
Even for us.

[growling]

[exclaims in anger]

What is it, sis?
I haven't seen you this sad

since Bjorn Boar lost
in the inter-archipelago sectionals.

Oh, Bjorn Boar. That was a sad day.
But this is worse!

Do you realize we have nothing?
Nothing, I tell you.

If we don't think of something,

we may never get Barf and
Belch back from that tyrant.

Why, Tuff? Why?!

Why do they love him more than us?!

It's the forbidden fruit.
You always want what you can't have.

The dragon's always hotter
on the other side.

We need help.
We need someone diabolical.

Someone completely devoid
of any continence

or human emotion whatsoever.

I can only think of one man that soulless.

[yawns, groaning]

- Hey.
- Hey?

[grunts]

Ugh!

What is wrong with you?

Hiccup Haddock, I'm calling you out!
Defend yourself!

D-D-Defend my...

[screaming]

- [whispers] Fight me.
- What? What are you doing?

[whispers] I said, fight me.

What's that Hiccup?
You want to fight to the death?!

- What? Who said that? Nobody said that!
- You did.

[exclaims in fear]

Here they come.
Life-debt no more!

You think Snotlout'll get barbecued?

Sis, I'm afraid to tell you, I always knew

Snotlout would end up
as collateral damage.

[screaming]

[grunting]

Ow! I'm not going to fight you, Snotlout!

You see that?
The future chief is a coward!

You heard me. Come on. Hit me.

You know you want to.

Fine. But remember. You wanted this.

[Snotlout] Ow!

[screams]

What'd you do that for?!

Oh, hold on. I gotta take a...
[groaning]

[screeching]

- That was incredible.
- Who knew that that scrawny,

little one-legged
Viking had that in him.

Oh, brother. That's it.
There's nothing left.

Guess Gobber was right.
We've lost our dragon for good.

But on the bright side, Snotlout
did just get punched in the face.

Yeah. If only I could enjoy it.

[groaning]

Mom, Dad. Hiccup punched me.
I'm really thirsty.

Clubhouse, now.
And get him some ice.

Well, a little warning would've been nice.

[miming]

Well, to be honest, Hiccup,
we figured out what

- was ruining our plans.
- It was you.

- Me?
- You, my friend, are a terrible actor.

So you made Snotlout attack me?

"Surprise" is the word we prefer to use.

We needed a real reaction from you.

And, boy did we get one.
Eh, Snotlout?

[sobbing]

[gasps] That's my tooth.

Unfortunately, we weren't
expecting Thor's mighty hammer

to meet Snotlout's paper jaw.
[shouts]

So, okay, you do realize if Barf and Belch
had actually tried to save me,

Snotlout would've been roasted alive?
[gasps]

Yeah. We took that into account
in our risk assessment.

Oh, this situation has gotten
way out of hand.

Please, Hiccup, you've gotta help us.

We're completely lost
without our dragon.

We have nothing to live for.
Don't you understand?

We will get you your dragon back.
But, you two have to stop.

Stop your plans, stop your schemes. Okay?

I'm gonna figure this out.

I just need time alone.

You too, bud.
[groans]

[coughing]

Two?

Huh?

Ah, oh, oh.

Really, guys? What did I say?

I said...
Come on, I'm serious!

Would you let me go?
No, seriously, just put me down!

Hey! What are you doing?
[growls]

[Hiccup grunts]

Okay, this is the single worst plan
you have ever come up with.

Oh, I don't know, brother.
You're our prisoner.

Seems like a brilliant plan to me.

[laughing]

So, looks like your little island
stronghold isn't so strong after all.

It's completely unguarded from the North.

You know, doesn't take much
to put in a watchtower.

[chuckling] No watchtower.
What do you do without a watchtower?

It's... It's preposterous.

[growls]

What's Toothless doing here?

Have any of you seen Hiccup?!

- I thought he was with you two.
- No, he bailed on us!

And guess who's gone, too?
Can't trust anybody.

They're probably out there
having the time of their lives,

blasting everything in sight.

Remember when random
destruction was our thing?

- Seems like yesterday.
- It was. It actually was.

Now, here we are.

No dragon, no destruction. No fun.

Something's wrong.
If Toothless is here, and Hiccup's not...

[growls]
[indistinct chatter]

We are gonna extract every little piece
of dragon knowledge

from that tiny coconut-shaped noggin.
We're gonna use you

to take us to every island
that Dragon Eye has led you to.

- And if I don't?
- [laughing] I hope you don't.

[laughing]
[explosion]

What the...

[growling]

Ugh!

[men clamoring]

[grunting]

Eh?
[Hiccup screaming]

[grunting]
Huh?

Ah!

[roaring]

First time in a good long while

that I've been happy to see you guys.
[all shouting]

[grunting]

Whoa!

[grunting]

Oh.

[growling]

- That's Barf and Belch!
- That's their distress signal.

- Hey, wait! That's our dragon out there.
- What do we do?

Hey, T, how you been?

[chuckles]

[grunting]

I've had enough of this.

[Hiccup exclaims]

[gasps]

[screams]

[grunts]

Phew! Nice job, guys.
Get us out of here.

Oh, boys!

Oh, no.

[men shouting]

And now I owe you one.

Time to go!

[men shouting]

[screeching]

[Tuffnut] Hey!

[Hiccup] Oh, no, no no, no, no.
[screams]

- Hiccup!
- Toothless!

Whoa!

[laughing]

- [Ruffnut] Yes!
- [Tuffnut] Back in the saddle, baby.

[growling]

Let's get these hunters away
from Dragon's Edge!

[chuckling] I missed this!

You can say that again, sister.

Take out the catapults!

Get us out of here!
[grunts]

So, looks like the old life-debt
has been repaid.

Barf and Belch saved me
from the Dragon Hunters,

and Ruff and Tuff saved
their dragon from drowning.

Thank Thor, everything's back to normal.

- [chuckling] Yeah! Hit me again.
- Me next! Me next!

- Well...
- Normal for us, anyway.

[shouting]

[grunts] Ow!

Will someone please
tell this lunatic it's over?

Snotlout!
