2x08 - Zippleback Down

Let's go, bud.

- Yeah. - Wow.

- Cool. - Wow.

- Wow, nice. - He's pretty good.

Aah, the pain! The horror!

Don't soil your skivvies. I was just playing around.

But these dragon traps are made to withstand

even the toughest of, well, dragons.

They're nothing to play around with.

Uh, I beg to differ. That one with all the teeth's

got Tuffnut written all over it.

Exactly what I was thinking.

You two can feel free to experiment on your own time.

Now, who can tell me what this trap is called?

"Ruffnut-be-gone"?

Ow! Oh, my lobe.

- It's called a snapper. - Potato, potahto.

You guys, this is really important. Okay? Eyes forward.

No problemo.

Other traps include ropers, grabbers, and netters.

Ah, well done, Fishlegs. But remembering how to unset them...

that's what separates the men from the maimed.

Oh, it's all right, girl.

Daddy'll be fine.

For the roper, press your foot against the activation line.

Then, remove the latch key, which takes tension off the trigger.

- Then you can cut the rope. - Someone's been paying attention.

And what about the notorious netter trap?

Ah, ah, ah. I got this one.

- Please, be my guest. - Is it wrong to root for the trap?

Eh, let's just call it a teaching moment.

Okay. It's pretty simple, actually.

You just detach the ropey chain-looking thing,

pull the pointy part back. Then... Aah!

Hookfang, you gonna get me out of here?

Anytime.

Hiccup, you want to release the beast?

That's not absolutely necessary, is it?

Okay, engage the safety pin. Dislodge the trigger strut.

Oof!

Teacher's pet.

Toothless, plasma blast. Good job, bud.

Ah. Right. Ruffnut, Tuffnut,

show me how to unset this snapper trap.

- Can't. Staring contest. - Now!

Fine. You don't have to get so testy.

Aah!

Ah! You almost cut off my head.

Now that would have been stare-worthy.

- Ah, next time. - All right, listen here.

You all have your assignments.

There are dozens of dragon traps left over from, well...

when we killed them.

But since we don't, well...

kill them anymore,

we thought it might be a good idea

to clear them before some wild dragon wanders

into one and gets caught. So get going.

You guys know what you're doing, right?

- What kind of question is that? - A necessary one.

You have absolutely no idea, do you?

- Absolutely... - No idea.

Guys, we're clearing dragon traps.

It's very dangerous for you and for your dragon.

You know what? Forget it.

You guys stay here, where you can't get into trouble.

Actually, we can get into trouble pretty much anywhere.

- Remember that empty room? - He's got a point.

Look, I-I just don't know If I can trust you

guys out there right now. This is serious.

- Wow, that was harsh. - Yeah. Ouch.

Yeah... no, I didn't mean it like that, it's just...

No, we get it. You think we're useless.

- I didn't say that. - But you were thinking it.

That's not helping me at all.

- We'll be fine, Hiccup. - It's not like we never pay attention.

- Just rarely. - Right?

You know, I'm actually gonna miss them

when they don't come back.

I don't know about you,

but I don't really appreciate Hiccup's negativity

when it comes to our Thor-given dragon abilities.

Right? I mean, he doesn't know us.

Yeah.

Wait, what are we doing again?

We're supposed to look for the hidden traps.

Hidden traps. Check. Okay, where do you think they'd hide?

Here, trappy. Here, little snapper trap.

Ugh!

Found it!

- Little help, sis? - Nah, you're doing fine.

Okay, okay. Ugh, quit your whining.

- Where are you going? - You said you wanted help.

I'm going back to the village to get Hiccup. Duh.

Fine. But don't tell him I got stuck in the trap.

- We'll never hear the end of it. - Yeah, you're right.

I'll tell him the trap got caught in you.

I like where your head's at.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. We need two riders.

How am I gonna fly Barf and Belch without you?

- Duh, hand signals. - Oh, cool. Great idea.

Okay, Belch, fly.

Yes! Save your father from the snapping trap.

Whoa, that was quick. Where's Hiccup?

I'll walk back. Barf, Belch, keep an eye on Tuffnut.

Okay, yeah. Great idea. I'll wait here.

I'm not helpless, you know.

Hmm.

Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no.

Yes.

All right, bud. Blast it!

Good work.

Hmm. You feel that, bud?

There's a dry hot wind coming in from the North.

It hasn't rained for two months. This is definitely fire weather.

Okay, bud, let's get back to the village and find my Dad.

You know, Barf, I just realized something.

We never talk, and well, that makes me sad.

I mean, I get it. I ride the other head.

But it doesn't mean that we can't have lunch or something,

you know, get to know each other on a more personal level.

Hey, do either of you remember how to undo this?

Wait a minute. What am I doing?

I'm a professional dragon trainer. Barf, Belch.

Untrap me.

No! Stop!

Stop! Ow!

Okay, one more time.

Ow, ow, no, no, no, no, no! Stop it!

Uh, Dad, I-I need to talk to you.

No time to talk, son. Fire weather.

- How'd you know that? - Gobber, show him.

- Feel that? - Uh, yes.

It's usually supple, tender, like a newborn baby.

When it's fire weather, dry as a 50-year-old yak.

Which brings us to you.

- It does? - Yes.

One errant dragon blast could burn Berk to the ground.

So make sure the twins don't do anything stupid out there.

Ugh, it'd be easier to get around these woods

if there weren't so many trees.

Ugh.

Knock it off already.

Uh...

So if I'm reading your silence correctly,

you think my sister's so competitive

because she's a woman in a man's world?

I mean, that explains so much, especially her inner rage.

And her outer rage. And, all that... all the rage

in her fists and her feet and her navel.

I totally get why she'd feel trapped. I mean, I feel trapped.

Come on, think. How'd Gobber undo this thing?

Come on. Come on! You are not useless.

You are not useless!

Okay, I'm totally useless.

I was wrong. I'm even more useless than I imagined.

Help! Help!

Hey! I am not your plaything!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hey! I may barf!

Uh, way more dizzy than usual. I like it!

Wait, why are we getting rid of these traps again?

They're awesome.

Barf, Belch, it's two against one, come on!

Get in there, and show him who's boss.

First of all, there's something you should know.

I never lose a staring contest.

I win!

Okay, this is gonna sound weird, but have we met before?

You... you look so familiar. Wait a minute!

Uh, were you ever on Outcast island?

No, no, no, no. That's not it. How about Breakneck bog?

Dragon island? Dragon bog? Breakneck island?

Ah, playing it close to the wing, are we?
