Episode 5: A Gruff Separation

Start from the beginning
                                        

Ruffnut: Nothing. Not a thing.

Tuffnut: You're trying to milk a Speed Stinger's tail for its venom!

Ruffnut: Mmmmaybe . . .

Tuffnut: I knew it. You're taking the Induction Trials.

Ruffnut: How did you know that was the first Trial?

Tuffnut: O-uh . . .

Ruffnut: You're taking them, too!

Tuffnut: Yes. But for a very good reason.

Ruffnut: We agreed we weren't going to do this if we both couldn't get in.

Tuffnut: While that is technically true . . .

Ruffnut: Obviously, you were just saying that to keep me from doing them. You knew you couldn't beat me.

Tuffnut: No, no, no. It was because there was no way you'd beat me. I didn't want to embarrass you.

Ruffnut: Oh, yeah?

Tuffnut: Yeah!

Ruffnut: Well, there's only one way to find out.

Ruffnut/Tuffnut: May the best Nut win!

Tuffnut: Which obviously will be me. See you at the finish line, loser.

Ruffnut: Oh, you'll see me there, waiting for you to arrive in last place!

Tuffnut: Well, you'll be waiting a long time, because I'll have gotten there before you, and I'll have taken a nap in a hammock, while you're toiling and struggling to finish the Trials. Ha!

Ruffnut: Ya finished?

Tuffnut: And then, once I woke up again, I would, uh, go and get the book and put it on my chest and fall back asleep so that if I woke up a third time, I could read. Yes, now I'm finished.

(The twins run in opposite directions)

Tuffnut (cont.): She-beast!

(Scene changes to show Ruffnut stalking a Speed Stinger that's drinking water)

Ruffnut: I've got you now. The Thorston name is mine. Oh, yes.

(Ruffnut yells and charges at the Speed Stinger. She pushes it to the ground, it grunts and tries to paralyze her with its tail but Ruffnut catches it, advancing by milking its venom)

Ruffnut: Tuffnut's got nothing on me. Ha!

(Scene changes to show Tuffnut riding on a Speed Stinger and milking it before it stops and throws him off causing some of the venom to get in his mouth)

Tuffnut: (retches) Ah! (The Speed Stinger growls and roars and Tuffnut starts freezing) Paralysis . . . spreading. What a cruel twist of fate. (The Speed Stinger starts circling Tuffnut) Ah. Ah! Oh, no! (screams) I can still feel my foot. It hasn't spread to my mouth. (his mouth starts freezing and blubbering)

(Scene changes to show Hiccup and Gruffnut flying on Toothless overhead where they see a paralyzed Tuffnut being circled by a Speed Stinger)

Hiccup/Gruffnut: Tuffnut!

Hiccup: And I suppose helping's against the rules, is it?

Gruffnut: Yeah, of course, but you know, let's say I was looking in the other direction while you accidentally fired a blast in that general direction . . .

(The Speed Stinger growls, about to come at Tuffnut. Toothless then fires a Plasma Blast at the Speed Stinger, and Tuffnut, seeing his opportunity, starts hopping away)
