Episode 3: Something Rotten on Berserker Island

Start from the beginning
                                        

Snotlout: "Snotlip". You too, Dagfart.

Dagur: As you will undoubtedly see for yourselves, the Berserker landscape is only outdone in its majesty by the Berserker people.

Hiccup: Hey, Dagur. Is that Savage?

Dagur: Yep, yep. Got the band back together. Yo, Savage!

Savage: Well, look who it is! One big, happy... Ha ha ha ha.

Hiccup: Whoa. Whoa! Easy, bud. Easy, bud.

Heather: Yeah, our dragons have been having a little trouble adjusting.

Dagur: Yeah. Had to build the stables over the village.

Astrid: They look very familiar.

Dagur: We may have stolen- borrowed the plans from you. But having them way up there keeps the dragons much calmer.

Fishlegs: That's odd. Dragons are normally very adaptive creatures.

Tuffnut: Maybe they're just reacting to living amongst all the crazy Berserkedness!

Hiccup: They seem fine now.

Bodil: Weird, right?

Hiccup: Definitely.

Snotlout: So, Dagster.

Dagur: Dagur. It's Da-gur. No "S," no "T".

Snotlout: Yeah, no, no. I know. I was just, um- Uh, so, Dagur. The Berserker Apprentice Program. What's up with that? Why would you want to be an apprentice? Answer all my questions.

Dagur: It's not just an apprentice, Snothole. It's the apprentice. A Berserker apprentice. We spent months combing the region for the baddest, smartest, craziest Viking in and outside the archipelago.

Snotlout: You did?

Dagur: Oh, yeah. And who'd have thought the candidate would be right in our neighbor's backyard the whole time?

Snotlout: Really? Do we know him?

Dagur: Do you know him? Come on out, boy! Reveal yourself and your many skills and talents! The first Berserker apprentice to ever grace this crazy land. I present to you-

Gustav: Gustav.

Hiccup, Astrid, and Bodil: Gustav?

Dagur: Gustav.

Gustav: The super Berserker apprentice.

Snotlout: WHAT?!

Gustav: Turns out, some people truly understand the value of the Guster and relish the qualities he brings to an apprenticeship program. It's like I was born to be Berserk.

Dagur: Up high. Down low. Bam!

Snotlout: I don't understand.

Dagur: I didn't either, Snotnose. I thought, "Who could possibly live up to the high standards that I, in particular, would demand of an apprentice to call my own?"

Snotlout: This guy?

Dagur: This guy.

Snotlout: But it's Gustav. He's just a fake me. Why accept imitation when you can have the real thing?

Dagur: Silly, Snotface. He's been studying Berserk history, learning all the Berserker songs.

Gustav: And I've been practicing all the latest Berserker fighting techniques.

Dagur: Can't wait to see that. (Bodil and Astrid share a suspicious look.) My little super apprentice is even graduating two weeks early.

Gustav: Oh, stop it, you.
