I should have known. I should have seen the signs. Dad... We had a deal! I know, we did,...

Stoick: [confronts Hiccup about his friendship with Toothless] I should have known. I should have seen the signs. Hiccup: Dad... Stoick: We had a deal! Hiccup: I know, we did, but that was before I, I... agh, it's all so messed up... Stoick: So everything in the ring... A trick? A lie! Hiccup: I screwed up. I should have told you before now; just... take this out on *me*, be mad at *me*, but please... just don't hurt Toothless! Stoick: [shocked] The dragon? *That's* what you're worried about? Not the people you almost killed? Hiccup: H-he was just protecting me! He's not dangerous! Stoick: They've killed *hundreds* of us! Hiccup: And we've killed *thousands* of them! They defend themselves, that's all! They raid us because they have to! If they don't bring enough food back, they'll be eaten themselves! There's, something *else* on their island, Dad, it... It's a dragon like... Stoick: [interrupting] Their *island*! So you've been to the nest... Hiccup: [realizes his mistake] Did I say nest? Stoick: [demandingly] How did you find it? Hiccup: What, no, I, I didn't! Toothless did, only a dragon can find the island! [Stoick pauses; Hiccup realizes what he is thinking] Hiccup: Oh no, Dad, no please, it's not what you think, you don't know what you're up against, it's like nothing you've ever seen! [Stoick shoves Hiccup out of the way] Hiccup: Dad please, I promise you, you can't win this one! Dad, no! [Stoick continues to walk away. Hiccup runs up to him and grabs his arm, on the brink of tears] Hiccup: For *once* in your *life*, would you please just *listen* to me? Stoick: [throws him aside] You've thrown your lot in with *them*. You're not a Viking... You're not my son. [leaves and closes the door behind him] Stoick: READY THE SHIPS!

I should have known. I should have seen the signs. - Dad? - We had a deal! I know we did. That was before... It's all so messed up. So everything in the ring, a trick? A lie? I screwed up. I should have told you before now. I just... Take this out on me, be mad at me, but please, just don't hurt Toothless. The dragon? That's what you're worried about? Not the people you almost killed? He was protecting me! He's not dangerous. They've killed hundreds of us! And we've killed thousands of them! They defend themselves, that's all! They raid us because they have to. If they don't bring enough food back, they'll be eaten themselves. There's something else on their island. It's a dragon like... Their island? So you've been to the nest? - Did I say nest? - How did you find it? What? No, I didn't. Toothless did. Only a dragon can find the island. No, no, no. No, Dad. No, please, it's not what you think. You don't know what you're up against. It's like nothing you've ever seen. Dad, please. I promise you, you can't win this one! No, Dad. No. For once in your life, would you please just listen to me?! You've thrown your lot in with them. You're not a Viking. You're not my son. Ready the ships! This way. Set sail! We head for Helheim's Gate. Lead us home, devil. It's a mess. You must feel horrible. You've lost everything: Your father, your tribe, your best friend. Thank you for summing that up. Why couldn't I have killed that dragon when I found him in the woods? - Would have been better for everyone. - Yep. The rest of us would've done it. So why didn't you? - Why didn't you? - I don't know. - I couldn't. - That's not an answer. Why is this so important to you all of a sudden? Because I want to remember what you say right now.
