In Berk/We're Not Leaving ( part 2)
https://youtu.be/mw7LsnPuJMg?si=y3oyAV2wnnF-7ewI
Lyrics:
'Cuz in Berk we're twelve degrees north of hopeless and a few degrees south of frostbite. Yeah, in Berk we might be seven generations deep, but ev'ry passing day's still a fight. But we're not leaving, we're not leaving, we're winning this war. We're not leaving, we're not leaving, there's no tying this score. We're not leaving, we're not leaving, yeah we'll show them the door. But we're not leaving, we're not leaving, we're winning this war. Oh yeah, we're winning this war. Oh yeah, we're winning this war.

Hiccup: (turning to his dad, Stoick, as in, "get me outta here") Yunno, Dad? You're right! Recent events have shown me I really can't kill dragons, and me even thinking I could was just an inflation of ego, an ego we both know I don't even have -
Please don't make me do this.
Hiccup: (Toothless is asleep, trapped in the net from Hiccup's bola.). Ah! Yikes, ah - holy, wow - I mean I know I asked for a sign, but. (shift) Okay. Just kill it. You hit it, it's hurt, so just kill it. Kill the Night Fury. This is your moment. This is what a Viking can do. Be a Viking. (Hiccup raises his blade in the air, readying to strike.) BE a Viking!
Monstrous Nightmare Houdini: Woooo! Here I am! Your literal Nightmare! Worst sleep of your dreams! I will blast you into oblivion! I get roasty, I get toasty, so get ready to get crispy, baby! ...
(And/or)
(slowly gets an ear tickle from Hiccup & responds to being petted) Ohhhhhhhh. Oh, mannnnnn, that tickles! (with a cute little shimmy) Oof, that's nice! It's been a minute since I've been - comforted, you know? Like no one asks me, hey Houdini, you wanna kill someone today? 'Cuz if they did, I'd be like - nah not really.
Stoick: (to Hiccup) ... I take you fishing and you go hunting for Trolls. Hiccup, when I was a boy, my father told me to ram my head straight into a boulder. And I did. And that boulder crumbled. Into thousands of pieces and that taught me who I was meant to be. It taught me what a Viking can do. And son... (trying to be gentle, but this hurts) I don't think you can do it. Any of it.
