Dragon's Play || HTTYD Watching the Movie

Chapter 4: Decisions

[Scene cuts to the Haddock household. Hiccup runs past Stoick and quickly and quietly crawls up the stairs, but Stoick notices him.]

Stoick: Hiccup.

Snotlout: Busted.

The Thorston twins giggled.

Hiccup: (stops halfway up the stairs) Dad! Uh... I have to talk to you, Dad.

Stoick: I need to speak with you too, son.

Hiccup and Stoick: (simultaneously) I've decided I don't want / I think it's time you learn / to fight dragons. What?

Some of the dragons and the Dawn twins were about to laugh but they calm down.

Stoick: You go first.

Hiccup: No, no, you go first.

Hiccup: Bad choice.

Valka hugs Hiccup once more.

Stoick: Alright. You get your wish. Dragon Training. You start in the morning.

Hiccup: (Panicking) Oh, man, I should've gone first! Uh, 'cause I was thinking, you know, we have a surplus of dragon-fighting Vikings, but do we have enough... bread-making Vikings, or small home repair Vikings--?

Gobber: Bread-making or home repair? Really?

The Dawn twins rolled their eyes.

Stoick: You'll need this.

[Stoick passes Hiccup an axe.]

Hiccup: I don't want to fight dragons.

Stoick: Come on. Yes, you do.

Hiccup: Rephrase: Dad, I can't kill dragons.

Stoick: But you will kill dragons.

Hiccup: No, I'm really very extra sure that I won't.

Stoick: It's time, Hiccup.

The Dragon Lovers shook their heads knowing he won't listen.

Hiccup: Can you not hear me?!

Stoick: This is serious, son! When you carry this axe, you carry all of us with you. Which means you walk like us. You talk like us. You think like us. No more of... this.

Hiccup: You just gestured to all of me.

Stoick: Deal?

Hiccup: This conversation is feeling very one-sided.

Stoick: DEAL?!

Hiccup: Deal.

Astrid: Wow. Way to make a talk.

Clara: That was kinda awkward.

Stoick: Good. Train hard. I'll be back. Probably.

Hiccup: And I'll be here. Maybe.

Stoick: What do you mean by "maybe"?

Once again, Hiccup didn't reply.
