How to Train Your Dragon 22014

[Astrid and Stormfly arrive at Itchy Armpit]

Hiccup:
[to Astrid] Afternoon, milady. Where have you been?

Astrid:
Oh, winning races. What else? Real question is, where have you been?

Hiccup:
Avoiding my dad.

Astrid:
Oh, no. What happened now?

Hiccup:
Oh, you're gonna-- you're gonna love this. I wake up, the sun is shining, Terrible Terrors are singing on the rooftop. I saunter down to breakfast thinking all is right with the world and I get, [imitates Stoick] "Son, we need to talk."

Astrid:
[imitates Hiccup] "Not now, Dad! I got a whole day of goofing off to get started!"

Hiccup:
[laughs] What? Okay, first of all, I-I don't sound like that. Who-- what is this character? A-and second, what is that thing you're doing with my shoulders? Yeah, that's a very flattering impersonation. [Astrid laughs] Anyway, he goes, [imitates Stoick] "You're the pride of Berk, son. And I couldn't be prouder."

Astrid:
[imitates Hiccup] "Aw, thanks, Dad! I'm pretty impressed with myself, too!"

Hiccup:
[laughs] Wh-when have I ever done that with my hands?

Astrid:
You just did! [laughs]

Hiccup:
[exasperatedly but lightheartedly] Ah, okay! Just... [grips Astrid's arms] Just hold still! [holds her hands] Very serious. [imitates Stoick] "You're all grown up. And since no chief could ask for a better successor, I've decided--"

Astrid:
[interrupts] To make you Chief! Oh, my gods! Hiccup, that's AMAZING! [playfully punches Hiccup in the chest, accidentally hitting the button that releases the back fin of his flight suit]

Hiccup:
OH! You're going to wear out the spring coil. The calibration is very sensitive. [winds the fin back into his flight suit] Yeah, so... This is what I'm dealing with.

Astrid:
What'd you tell him?

Hiccup:
I-I didn't. By the time he turned around I was gone.

Astrid:
Huh, well... that's a lot of responsibility. The map will have to wait, for sure, and I'll need to fly Toothless since you'll be too busy, but...

Hiccup:
I-It's not me, Astrid. All those speeches and planning and running the village, that's his thing.

Astrid:
I think you're missing the point. I mean, Chief. What an honor. I'd be pretty excited.

Hiccup:
I... I'm not like you. You... know exactly who you are. You always have. But me? I'm still looking. I know that I'm not my father, and I've never met my mother, so... what does that make me?

[Hiccup sits down and gazes off into space. Astrid sits down beside him and starts braiding his hair]

Astrid:
What you're searching for isn't out there, Hiccup. [puts her hand to Hiccup's chest] It's in here.
