* Chapter 9:
** Hiccup begins his siege of Castle [=MacIntosh=] with his Siegebreaker cannons. We're given a poetic description of the cannonballs as they are shot out of the cannons and hurtle toward the castle... then [[{{Beat}} silence]] as the cannons [[FailedAttemptAtDrama abruptly stopped firing after just three shots]].
** Then Hiccup tries to order Gulla to keep firing, only to run into a problem:
--> '''Hiccup''': Reload the others and keep firing on all of them!
--> '''Gulla''': ''[shouting]'' [[ICantHearYou ...what?]]
--> '''Hiccup''': ''[louder]'' Reload and fire again!

--> '''Gulla''': ...I don't know anybody named Darren! Don't see how he could help but I'll ask around! [turns to other Vikings] Any of you know this Darren guy?
** Valka eventually gets tired of this and takes over:
--> '''Valka''': ''[shouting]'' Gulla! Reload and fire, Hiccup wants you to reload and fire!
--> '''Gulla''': [confused] [[SustainedMisunderstanding Then who's Darren?]]
