Dragons: Titan Uprising
"My, Hiccup Horrible Haddock himself. At last, I've gotten your attention."

"Now, now, Fuld, we're only just getting to know one another. I'm sure we'll be on a first name basis soon enough. I am, as it would be, in a dreadful hurry right now. I trust I'll see you soon?"

"Have you pierced together my plot?"

"All too obvious, Chief Hiccup. You'll need to do better than that."

"Very close. Do you recall your old nemesis, said to have become your ally? He was very close, too. Poor, Grim fool. He lacked the genius and vision I possess. He squandered the power of... The mighty Shellfire."

"My, Hiccup, I was starting to wonder how long it would take! How better to guide a maddened Alpha than to simply prod it in the right direction? You and your dragons have so much in common. They refuse to engage each other unless commanded, or are natural foes."

"Always so idealistic. It was a flaw in my predecessors as well."

"I'm just here to make gold, Hiccup, and you hurt my income."

"Enough, you fool. Go to see the asset."

"It's quite simple, dear Hiccup: Crush Berk, and rebuild the business of dragons. You see, like much yourself, I've found a great use in breeding the beasts. They fetch a hefty price, when shackled."

"How long can you keep fighting Alphas and corrupt dragons? You'll fall, in time."

"As always, so naive. You honestly think I'd fight the Riders of Berk with men?"

"Chief Hiccup! Always the one to lead the charge, aren't you?"

"Doesn't mean I can't take pleasure in playing the field, Hiccup. It's all just another game of Maces and Talons, you and I. I like a challenge."

"I don't care what you've seen them do. You work for me now, don't forget it."

"Yes, and I'm sure my predecessors must have been truly skilled... To have been defeated by a bunch of teenage Berkians."

"So have your adversaries. Well, some of us."

"I didn't take over the Archipelago to sit on some rock. Surely you, Hiccup, can see the joy one can take in their work? That tactics, the planning, the cunning... My life would be boring without it."

"One should always take pride and joy in their work."

"Don't be foolish. This is an extremely profitable business. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy employing strategy. That, and success is more fulfilling when witnessing others fall. But, I must also secure my assets. Often personally."

"I don't trust anyone, as anyone with an ounce of intelligence does."

"Hello, Hiccup. How goes concocting your cure?"

"It's only natural you would make attempts. I trust they aren't going well?"

"Why not? My Buffalord holds the key. Fuld alone knows the secret to extraction. He's a master of elixirs. I sincerely doubt anyone on Berk will rival him."
