Quotes 

• Stoick the Vast : Men who kill without reason cannot be reasoned with.

• Hiccup : [as Stoick drags him through the cave]  Uh, wait! Okay, uh, Dad, there-there's something you need to know!

  Stoick the Vast : [impatiently]  Yeah, yeah. Tell me on the way.

  Hiccup : No, this isn't an on-the-way kind of update, actually.

  Stoick the Vast : [stubbornly]  I've heard enough!

  Hiccup : More of the earth-shattering-development variety.

  Stoick the Vast : Yeah, just add it to the pile.

  Hiccup : Yeah, I, uh, uh... Dad, u-unlike most surprises I spring on you, this is one you'll like. I-I promise. You just have to handle it... delicately. So...

  [They reach a stunned Gobber] 

  Gobber : [to Stoick]  Uh, you might want to take this one.

  Stoick the Vast : Huh?

  [draws his sword] 

  Gobber : Oh, boy.

  Hiccup : [fearful]  Oh, uh, Dad, could you put the sword away, please?

  [Stoick finally sees Valka and gasps. Gobber and Hiccup watch as Stoick drops his sword, removes his helmet, and slowly and silently advances toward Valka] 

  Valka : I know what you're gonna say, Stoick. How could I have done this? Stayed away all these years? And why didn't I come back to you? To our son? Well, what sign did I have that you could change, Stoick? That anyone on Berk could? I pleaded so many times to stop the fighting, to find another answer, but did any of you listen?

  Gobber : [aside, to Hiccup]  This is why I never married. This and one other reason.

  Valka : I know that I left you to raise Hiccup alone, but I thought he'd be better off without me. And I was wrong. I see that now! But...

  [nervously backs up against the wall; on the verge of tears] 

  Valka : Oh, stop being so stoic, Stoick! Go on! Shout! Scream! Say something!

  [Stoick touches Valka's cheek. She stares at him in fear] 

  Stoick the Vast : [also on the verge of tears]  You're as beautiful as the day I lost you.

  [Valka quietly weeps in relief; Stoick softly kisses her. A relieved and overjoyed Hiccup smiles] 

• Stoick the Vast : Boar-headed - just like his mother. Aye, she could never stay put, either.

  Gobber : Eh, he's just 20, and a Viking. I mean, could there be a worse combination? Ha! When I think of how stubborn and senseless *you* were back in the day. Oh. Now, not much has changed, actually.

• Valka : [about preparing food]  I'm, uh... a little out of practice.

  Stoick the Vast : Well, you know - I didn't marry you for your cooking.

  Gobber : I hope not. Her meatballs could kill more beasts than a battle ax.
