How to Train Your Dragon Quote

Astrid : It's a mess. You must feel horrible. You've lost everything, your father, your tribe, your best friend...
Hiccup : Thank you for summing that up. [ silence ]
Hiccup : Why couldn't I have killed that dragon when I found him in the woods? It would have been better for everyone...
Astrid : Yep, the rest of us would have done it. So why didn't you? [ pauses ]
Astrid : Why *didn't* you?
Hiccup : I don't know... I couldn't.
Astrid : That's not an answer.
Hiccup : Why is this so important to you, all of a sudden?
Astrid : Because I want to remember what you say, *right now*.
Hiccup : Oh, for the love of... I was a coward! I was weak! I wouldn't kill a dragon!
Astrid : You said "wouldn't" that time.
Hiccup : Well, whatever! I wouldn't! 300 years, and I'm the first Viking who wouldn't kill a dragon. [ pause ]
Astrid : First to ride one, though. So...?
Hiccup : [ sighs ] I wouldn't kill him, because he looked as frightened as I was. I looked at him, and I saw myself.
