Huh? [sighs]
So you wouldn't let me take the Dragon Eye Lenses
to Defenders of the Wing Island because...?
[sighs] Astrid, Fishlegs and the twins
are setting up the summit meeting at Defenders of the Wing Island,
while you and I--
Go pick up Atali, fill her in on Johann and take her there.
[Hiccup] Exactly.
But why didn't I go set up the summit meeting?
I mean, Astrid could be on escort duty.
Snotlout, what difference does it make?
I just like to know where I stand.
I need you here with me, okay, Snotlout?
Oh, I get it now.
You need me and my skills, because the Wingmaidens, they love me.
Do I have this right?
Yes, Snotlout. You could not be more right.
[Snotlout laughs]
Oh, I love being right.
♪ ♪
Trader Johann? I assume you did not see that one coming.
You also like being right.
He is a threat of most serious proportions,
not only to you, the Berserkers and Defenders of the Wing,
but to us Wingmaidens and our sacred mission.
Which is why we need you at this summit meeting.
Minden...
I'll prepare to accompany you on the journey, Atali.
Actually, Nadia will join me.
She has the diplomatic skills necessary.
But, Atali, I can be extremely effective.
I have no doubts, Minden.
However, I need you here.
Wingmaiden Island must be defended.
Yes, of course, but, Atali, I can do this!
Minden, please. I have made my decision.
Begin with fortification on the east side of the island.
-[groans] -We are at our highest alert level.
Passed over for the skinny blonde? Been there.
Huh?
Oh, my Thor.
[Hookfang screeches]
Hiccup, you and your dragon should rest while I prepare for the journey ahead.
[Astrid] Once Hiccup arrives with Atali,
we've got to figure out a strategy to deal with the Flyers
and now Johann.
Until then, we have to find a safe place to keep the Dragon Eye Lenses.
Might I suggest we place them inside our volcano.
It's far from the easiest location to access.
[Dagur chuckles] Inside an active volcano?
-That's what you're proposing? -Yes.
Well, what happens when, you know, it erupts?
If it erupts, we have the Eruptodon to manage its lava flow.
"If," "when," same thing really.
And you're sure your "Great Protector" can handle a full-scale eruption?
Of course you're not. Berserker Island is the obvious choice.
Our Berserker guards--
Allowed a coup to take place right under their noses.
I do have that correct, right?
[chuckling] This one thinks she's got it all figured out.
But she really has nothing figured out!
Okay, let's just all calm down for a second.
-[yells] -[all gasp]
I'm calm! [chuckles]
Do I not look calm? I mean, I'm not crazy. It's her, right?
I mean, look at me.
We got this.
Meatlug, drop spin.
[snarling]
This is what I like to call "common ground."
-Won't you join me? -[Meatlug growls, pants]
[Minden] How can Atali not trust me to go with her?
I mean, Nadia? Seriously?
What does she have that I don't?
You're speaking my lingo, Mindo, but that's the way of the world.
Our leaders give the important jobs to the skinny blondes
and give us dumb tasks to keep us busy
and want us to be appreciative.
You ask me, I think they're scared of being shown up by true warriors.
But it ain't gonna change.
I mean, there's a way it's supposed to be and a way that it is.
I can't accept that. I won't accept that.
If you don't accept it, it will eat away at you until it rips you in two.
-And trust me-- -Minden! Minden!
A fire has broken out on the west side of the island.
And it's spreading quickly!
Ugh! I'll go get Hiccup.
Snotlout, no!
-What do you mean "no"? -What if this is my chance?
What if this is my moment to prove her wrong,
to prove that I can handle things on my own?
[laughs] Yeah. Look, I've had the same thoughts, okay?
But it doesn't work like that!
Round up all the guards and meet me on the west side of the island.
-All the guards? -Every one.
Together, under my guidance, we will stop this fire.

Nope. Okay, I don't know about this, Mindo.
