- Hiccup: Look at this! There are maps we have never seen, writing we can't read, dragons we don't recognize. It's incredible. This Dragon Eye - this is proof that there is a whole other world out there, a world that must be explored.
- Spitelout: We've been at peace for three years. Best years on Berk I can remember. I think you know as well as I do that when you go looking for trouble, you usually find it.
- Stoick: [discussing Hiccup's plan in council] Think of the most important thing in the world to each of ya. Ask yourselves honestly how far you would be willing to go to get it. What would you risk? The boy's life has been dragons. His life IS dragons and will continue to be. We couldn't stop him from goin' if we wanted to, so we might as well support him.
