- LET'S GO, BUD.
[dragon roaring]
- YEAH. - WOW.
- WOW.
- NICE.
- 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] - AH!
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]
[sheep bleats] - [gasps]
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 TO VALHALLA.
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, STOP! - [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]
- 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!
- HERE! - 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] - DON'T TRY ANYTHING, BOY.
- MAKE A MOVE. - [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"?
- OH. - NOW WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE.
- [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]
