Episode 11: A Time to Skrill

Bodil: Hiccup! What happened?

Astrid: Where have you been?

Hiccup: It's a long story.

Tuffnut: Or is it a very short story? Looks to me like someone has changed his allegiance. I knew this day would come. Seize him!

Hiccup: What the- Would you-

Ruffnut: Got you, traitor!

Tuffnut: Fishlegs is in on it too. No, you don't.

Hiccup: Okay, everybody, stop jumping on everybody.

Fishlegs: How could you even think that? Hiccup? A Dragon Hunter? Just the idea that he would even have anything to do with them! Huh!

Hiccup: Actually, Fishlegs, let's not go quite that far.

Tuffnut: Uh.

Astrid: You let the Dragon Hunters capture the Skrill?

Hiccup: That wasn't the plan. They were supposed to take it down and then we would swoop in and grab it away. But-

Fishlegs: They got to it first.

Snotlout: So, Dagur has the Skrill again? Great! Now he's just gonna chain that thing up like a puppet and take him on a "Greatest Hits" attack run of the archipelago! I agree, Dad, I'm very disappointed in Hiccup, too.

Hiccup: They had some sort of new net-shooting catapult.

Ruffnut: Net-shooting catapult. You know, no one ever plans for the intangibles.

Fishlegs: But, Hiccup, it's just-

Tuffnut: Confusing. I know that I, for one, am confused.

Ruffnut: Yet, intrigued.

Tuffnut: Ah, yes. Moral ambiguity. Something else you can never see coming. Yep, catapult nets and moral ambiguity.

Hiccup: Look, there's really no moral ambiguity here. I messed up. I really messed up. And I'm not sure how to fix it.

Tuffnut: Huh?

Ruffnut: Whoa.

Hiccup: Oh, what now?

Tuffnut: We've just never heard you say that before. You always know how to fix it.

Hiccup: Yeah, well, guess what? I'm not perfect.

Tuffnut: What? No. What? Whose painting am I going to have above my bed?

Bodil: First of all, what? Second, everything you did, you did to protect that dragon and to protect all of us. It was a good plan, they just got to it before you did. Now, the question isn't how you fix it alone. It's how we all fix it. As a team.

Snotlout: My dad says we're letting you off too easy, but we're still in.

Hiccup: Now, we just have to figure out a way to find the Hunters.

Fishlegs: Hiccup, which way was that storm heading?

Hiccup: East.

Fishlegs: Then they will be going West. That way, the Skrill can't harness the lightning and attack them.

Hiccup: Good thinking, Fishlegs. There's a group of islands just West of where we were. Lots of secluded beaches and coves to hide in.

Fishlegs: Hiccup, I-I think I found them. There's a campfire and a lot of singing in really deep voices around the other side of the island.

Dragon Hunter: Oh, tell the one about the Viking girl with the hairy bunions.

Hiccup: Okay, we'll quietly make our way along the tree line over to those cages. That must be where they're holding the Skrill.

Snotlout: My dad says that's a terrible plan and that we should just attack. Wait, what?

Hiccup: Okay, change of plans. We'll use Spitelout as a distraction. Snotlout, you and your dad keep the Hunters busy while the rest of us go get the Skrill. Let's go, bud.

Snotlout: Dad, up here. What do you mean, where have I been? You're welcome.

Dragon Hunter: I'm waiting!

Hiccup: Huh. That's gotta be the right cage. It's the only one submerged in the water. Cover me. I know, I know, you can't fire while you're in the water. But don't worry. We're here to help. No, no, Toothless. I'm okay, bud. All right, pal, let's just keep it down or they'll hear us.

Ryker: Oh, it's too late for that.

Dagur: Told you he'd come back for my Skrill. How could you, Hiccup? We've barely had time to get reacquainted. It's all right, baby. This is all still so new.

Ryker: Never mind that, Dagur. Just look at all the new dragons your friend has brought us. Cage 'em up. And muzzle the Night Fury.

Hiccup: Whoa! Hmm.

Bodil: I know that look. What are you thinking?

Hiccup: That the enemy of my enemy-

Astrid: Might kill us all?

Hiccup: Yes. But he also might help us. Toothless! The cage! Gah! No! No! Toothless.

Dagur: Uh, what's it doing?

Ryker: You tell me. It's your dragon.

Dagur: Oh, no.

Snotlout: He's saying, "Spitelout, Spitelout, oy, oy, oy".

Astrid: Okay, Fishlegs, a little to the left. Now, a little to the right. All right, that's it. Lower him in.

Hiccup: Wait! We can't do this.

Snotlout: Sure we can. We drop him in, and then, boom, we seal it closed.

Hiccup: What I mean is, we shouldn't do this.

Bodil: Hiccup, the Skrill hunted you and Toothless. It wanted to kill you.

Hiccup: But it didn't. It saved us. And it risked its own life doing it. If we do this, we're no better than the Dragon Hunters. We're just using a different cage. And he doesn't deserve that.

Tuffnut: Why are we lowering our heads? Oh, are we checking foreheads? Is there something on my forehead?

Bodil: So, you knew he wouldn't turn on us if we let him go, huh?

Hiccup: Yeah why not?

Snotlout: Well, my dad says he's very proud of us, especially me. His favorite son.

Spitelout: I didn't say that.

Snotlout: Dad, you got your voice back! That's great.

Spitelout: Is it? We'll see about that.

Snotlout: Ow! Ow! Ow!

Spitelout: We have a lot to talk about, boy-o.
