<-- How to Start a Dragon Academy -->





"You know what your mistake was? Thinking dragons could be trained. But a dragon's gonna do what a dragon's gonna do. It's their nature. And nature always wins."

- Mildew to Hiccup



"Berk Dragon Academy. I like the sound of that."

- Astrid, to Hiccup

<-- Viking for Hire --> "Everybody needs a place in the world. Some people are born to theirs. Some people discover theirs. And some people make a place for themselves. But then the world around them changes, and the place they made is gone."

- Hiccup's opening narration in "Viking for Hire"





"Well, this is a dark day. A great dragon slayer peddling his weapons as kitchen utensils? Hm. Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk."

- Mildew, about Gobber



"Exactly. That's why you should let Gobber do what Gobber does best. I've been making saddles since you were in diapers. In fact, I made your diapers."

- Gobber, to Hiccup

"Hicc. Up. I may have taught you everything you know, but I haven't taught you everything I know."

- Gobber, to Hiccup

"That's what the chief does; he delegates. Look, I gave you this Academy because it's the best thing for Berk. Now you have to do what's best for the Academy. And I'm sorry, son, but what's best is very rarely what's easy."

- Stoick, to his son

<-- Animal House --> "He's looked angry since the day I was born. But I'm sure there's no connection."

- Hiccup, about Stoick

"I'm not really comfortable putting my fate in the hands of a brainless bird and a big woolly beast that sleeps in its own dung."

- Gobber, to Stoick, about their dependance on chicken and yak for livestock



"Winter in Berk is long and brutal, and the only way to survive it is if we're all in it together. We made our peace with the dragons when we saw that we could trust them. Turns out they actually have instincts to protect us. All of us. Life on Berk just got a little warmer."

- Hiccup's closing narration in "Animal House"

<-- The Terrible Twos --> "When you're riding a dragon, communication is key. You almost have to read each other's minds. Or else. And you have to have an open mind, because sometimes, your dragon knows better than you."

- Hiccup's opening narration in "The Terrible Twos"

"Never in recorded history. We're in uncharted waters, my friend."

- Fishlegs, upon discovering the Typhoomerang

"It's weird. It's like, Toothless is jealous. Which is great. So... my first girlfriend is a dragon."

- Hiccup, to Gobber, about Toothless' bad behaviour



"Communication between dragon and rider goes both ways. Not only must the Dragon follow the Rider's lead, but the Rider must listen to the dragon as well. Because sometimes, what the dragon is trying to say is what you really need to hear."

- Hiccup's closing narration in "The Terrible Twos"

<-- In Dragons We Trust --> "As you fly through life it's always good to know who you can trust... and who you can't. I know I can always count on Toothless. And it's important for him to know... that no matter what... he can count on me."

- Hiccup's opening narration in "In Dragons We Trust"

"I think I showed sufficient respect to a sash that says "D.U.M.B.""

- Gobber, to the Dragon United Monitoring Brigade



"There's an old Viking saying: "When your friends are roasting on the spit, you're the one who's feels the fire.""

- Hiccup's opening narration in "Alvin & the Outcasts"

"Ugh, oh... your bucket's hard, but your heart is soft."

- Mulch, to Bucket

"It's funny how an attack by your greatest enemy can change things overnight. I set out to prove that our dragons would never hurt us... what they proved, is that they will always protect us."

- Hiccup's closing narration in "Alvin & the Outcasts"

<-- How to Pick Your Dragon -->

"I've spent my entire life on Berk. Climbed its hills, explored its forests, swam its waters. I've travelled every inch, but I never thought I'd see it like this. Look at them. All of my people. Everyone is safe. It's a good feeling."

- Stoick, to Hiccup, on his first ride over Berk

"Let me explain something about fathers and sons. It's a father's job to listen to his son without ever letting on that he's heard a word."

- Gobber, to Hiccup, about Stoick

<-- Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Young Man --> "Measuring up to a Viking father isn't easy. Especially when that Viking father is also the Chief of your village. So, when you get a chance to prove yourself, you jump on it."

- Hiccup's opening narration in "Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Young Man"

"He does accept you... He just accepts the painting more."

- Astrid, about Hiccup's inaccurate portrait

"Oh, Thor... Oh, Thor! Do we really need that treasure?! Isn't our friendship treasure enough?!"

- Fishlegs, to Hiccup

"Where the land meets the sea, in the crook of the master's knee, that's where your search will begin. From here you will see the seed that's been sown. Look to where water turns to bone. Call on Magni, you'll go astray. Freya, though, will show the way. At the edge of the world, amidst the raging sea, in the serpent's mouth, lies another key. The world is right, when stars align; when not in sync, the danger you'll find. Something pure and something strong. Look first to yourself, and you won't go wrong."

- Hamish II's prophecy

"This treasure was passed from father to son. I leave it to you the next worthy one. For only a hiccup could get this far. From one to another, be proud of who you are!"

- The final piece of advise from Hamish II's prophecy



"I've spent most of my life trying to prove to my dad that I could be his kind of Viking. As it turns out, I already was."

- Hiccup, about living up to Stoick's expectations

<-- Dragon Flower -->

"I've heard Gothi could tell you when you're gonna die, just by looking at your fingernails."

- Astrid, about the old mage's legendary skills

"Yeah? Well, ours is dead! [Everyone gasps] Just kidding. But, he's really not that fun anymore."

- Tuffnut, when all the Riders' dragons fall sick



"I've seen a Nadder's spine slice through a man's eyeball like a grape. I've watched my own arm get devoured by a Monstrous Nightmare. But never, NEVER, have I seen anything so disturbing... as that old man's bare behind! Here. Take this to your dragons. I'm going to the forest to scream."

- Gobber, after extracting venom from Mildew

<-- Heather Report, Part 1 --> "I wanna be a pirate! Or a fish cleaner. I'm still on the fence."

- Tuffnut, to Heather



"Wow, you're really good at this. Much better than my sister, who I can easily get rid of, by the way. I mean, easily. She looks a lot like me. Sometimes I impersonate both of us."

- Tuffnut, to Heather



<-- Heather Report, Part 2 -->

"You can break out of jail as many times as you want, but you're not getting off this island!"

- Astrid, throwing Heather back into jail for the umpteenth time





"Just promise me one thing: If you need help again, you'll ask."

- Hiccup, to Heather

"Ever since dragons showed up on Berk, we've learned to expect the unexpected. But every once in a while something or someone comes along that surprises us. And when that happens, you kind of hate to see them go."

- Hiccup's closing narration about Heather

<-- Thawfest --> "Dragons or no dragons, I'll do what I do every year: Bring glory to the Jorgenson clan. And you'll do what you do: embarrass yours."

- Snotlout Jorgenson, to Hiccup

"I can't wait. Because Hookfang and I? It's like boy and dragon have become one. We're like a Bragon. Or a Droy. Or a Snotfang!"

- Snotlout, to Hiccup



"No, Hiccup. No one was a better Viking than you, today."

- Astrid, to Hiccup before she kisses him

"Some things never change. But I guess some things are more important than winning. Like being a good friend. Even if your friend is... that guy..."

- Hiccup's closing narration in "Thawfest"

<-- When Lightning Strikes --> "Living with dragons has it's ups... and it's downs. You need to stay calm. Keep a clear head. Not always easy with Vikings. In our own way, we're very reasonable. But when a problem is caused by something Vikings don't understand, they lose all sense of reason. And that can become very dangerous."

- Hiccup's opening narration in "When Lightning Strikes"
