Episode 8: Edge of Disaster Part 1

Tuffnut: She didn't let us answer.

Ruffnut: That's what they call a "rhetorical question".

Tuffnut: Please. Like that's even a thing. And you don't know what it means.

Ruffnut: A rhetorical question is one asked solely to produce an effect or to make an assertion. Not to elicit a reply. Bam!

Tuffnut: Not too teamly, if you ask me.

Ruffnut: Not in the slightest.

(Scene switches to Astrid, searching for the twins angrily)

Astrid: Really. Where in Thor's name could you two have-

(The twins appear on a zip line)

Tuffnut: Whoo! Yeah!

Ruffnut: Ha-ha! Look out!

Tuffnut: Whoa-oh-ah!

Ruffnut: Whoo! That hurt.

Tuffnut: Astrid, you have got to try this. The landing's a little rough, but-

Ruffnut: Astrid, we know this wasn't what you were planning, but we really think we're onto something here. The stairs have their own use for sure, but this can truly come in handy.

Astrid: It can, huh?

Ruffnut: Yes. In the right situations.

Astrid: (sweetly) And what situations would those be exactly, Ruffnut?

Ruffnut: Well, I mean, we could, if we were in a-

Astrid: (interrupting her) You have no clue, do you? Didn't think so.

Tuffnut: Is that a retalkrical question?

Astrid: And do you know why? Because the two of you don't think. You don't plan. You just come up with these crazy ideas and you forge ahead, with no regard for logic or what you're even supposed to be doing. What am I gonna do with you guys? Seriously. Tell me!

Ruffnut: Well, you can start by being kind. Oh, wait, you can't do that because kindness is nowhere in that scrawny little body of yours.

Astrid: What?

Tuffnut: Easy, sis...

Ruffnut: Back up, bro! I got this.

Astrid: Do you know what your problem is, Ruffnut?

Ruffnut: Oh, you bet I do. I've got a list of problems so long, I can't even keep track. Question is, do you know what your problem is, Astrid?

Astrid: My problem? Are you serious?

Ruffnut: Allow me to lay it out for you, my flaxen-haired friend. You have no respect for the people around you who are just trying to help and be a part of the team. You have no respect for Fishlegs, certainly none for Snotlout, and you couldn't have less respect for the two of us! Now, you can go ahead and shame the others. You can mock this entire island of dragons if you wish. But I am not gonna stand here and listen to you insult the entire "nut" family tree!

(Ruffnut storms off)

Astrid: (looking shocked) She's wrong, you know. I do. I... r-respect you guys.

Tuffnut: Oh, please. You can barely even say it. So sad, Astrid. So, so sad.

(Tuffnut walks off too.)

Astrid: (despairingly) Bo, where are you when I need you? (Looking up in the sky she notices Aquantis flying high in the sky.) Huh, that dragon looks a lot like Aquantis.

(Scene switches to the other Riders, riding over a stretch of ocean)

Hiccup: Okay, from what the Terror mail said, Johann sent it from this general area.
