Toothless glides into the cove and touches down on the moonlit beach.
ASTRID
(her mind reeling, talking
Hiccup's ear off)
No, no, it totally makes sense.
It's like a giant beehive. They're
the workers... and that's their
queen. It controls them.
She leaps off of Toothless and runs toward the village.
ASTRID (CONT'D)
Let's find your dad.
HICCUP
No, no! Not yet. They'll... kill
Toothless.

HICCUP (CONT'D)
Astrid, we have to think this
through carefully.
Astrid eyes him, incredulous.
ASTRID
Hiccup, we just discovered the
dragons' nest...the thing we've
been after since Vikings first
sailed here. And you want to keep
it a secret? To protect your pet
dragon? Are you serious?
Hiccup stands firm, resolute.
HICCUP
Yes.
Astrid's taken aback.
ASTRID
Okay.
(BEAT)
Then what do we do?
HICCUP
Just give me until tomorrow. I'll
figure something out.
ASTRID
Okay.
Astrid PUNCHES Hiccup in the arm.
ASTRID (CONT'D)
That's for kidnapping me.
Hiccup looks to Toothless for support. Toothless SNORTS,
dismissive.
Astrid grabs him. He braces for another hit. She KISSES
Hiccup on the cheek.
ASTRID (CONT'D)
That's for, everything else.
In the awkward wake of the moment, Astrid hurries off...
leaving Hiccup RUBBING his cheek, stunned.
Toothless hobbles up, eyeing him.
HICCUP
What are you looking at?
