Plot: After another raid in an empty village, the chief of the Vikings Timandahaf misunderstands the explanation of his druid Cryptograf that "fear gives wings to the dwellers" and believes that fear actually makes the villagers fly. They decide to chase the champion of fear in Gaul to learn how to fly and make them invincible warriors. Meanwhile, the nephew of Vitalstatistix, Justforkix, is sent from Parisium to the Gaulish village to become a man and Asterix and Obelix are assigned to train the youngster. The stupid son of Cryptograf, Olaf, listens to a conversation of the coward Justforkix with Asterix and Obelix and kidnaps him. While returning to the Viking village, Justforkix meets Abba, the daughter of Timandahaf, and they fall in love for each other. But the Machiavellian and ambitious Cryptograf plan to marry his son Olaf with Abba and become powerful. In the end, Asterix realizes that it is not fear that gives wings, it is love.

Quotes:

Obélix: [Obelix has just loaded an enormous stone into Justforkix's charriot as a going away present] You can keep on training with it back home, if you want. If you try to lift it every day, I'm sure you'll make it.::Justforkix: Yeah... I don't think so. It's impossible.::Obélix: How can you know it's impossible if you don't try?

Olaf: [Abba was posing as a man to get onboard the viking longboat, but the vikings discovered her true identity. She has just made a lengthy speech to the all male crew about how women should have all the rights of men] Who is this new guy?::Timandahaf: That's my daughter, cod brain!::Olaf: Your daughter's a man?

Abba: [Vikea has just given Timandahaf a "shopping" list of all the things she wants him to bring back from his raid. Abba walks in carrying a chest] Okay. Is it time to go, I'm all ready!::Timandahaf: Abba, I've told you a hundred times, this is not a pleasure cruise, it's a business trip!::Abba: Daddy, please... pretty please? Let me come with you just this once and then I'll never bother you again, I promise.::Timandahaf: Well... eh... Absolutly not! No women and no children on board! [Abba keeps trying to get a word in] Don't argue! I have spoken! By Thor and Odin put together! [Abba is clearly getting mad] And don't you go bezerk on me, young lady! [Abba kicks down a shelf in frustration, which in turn knocks down the other shelves, destroying all the family's mugs and plates]::Vikea: I'll make you another list.

[the pair are in a line to get into the Viking party; Obelix is laughing at the Viking names being read off the roster]::Obélix: [laughing] Asterix! All their names end in "af"!::Astérix: [the Viking bellhop looks at them suspiciously] Uh... actually, my name is, uh, Asteraf, Obelaf!::Obélix: [doubled over, laughing] Ob-Obelaf!

[Abba has been told she's going to marry Olaf; the Vikings are dragging her and Justforkix away from each other]::Abba: Justforkix! No!::Justforkix: Abba! Don't worry, Abba, I'll take care of this - [tries to sound important] As the Champion of F...::Justforkix: [gets hit on the head with a club]

Justforkix: So, uh, when are you gonna talk to your father about setting me free?::Abba: As soon as you teach me to fly!::Justforkix: Uh... yeah, about that. I was just... wondering... what's your policy on people who... promise something and then can't... deliver on it?::Abba: Oh, you mean a liar? Look up there. [Gestures with her head]::[Justforkix looks up and sees a skeleton imbedded in the ice, an axe in it's skull]::Justforkix: Aaah! What is *that?*::Abba: The last guy who lied to me. Daddy took care of him.::Justforkix: S-so how about three o'clock Tuesday for your first flying lesson? [laughs nervously]

[Justforkix is tied to the mast on the Viking ship - he has just been reunited with SMS, who has flown to him from Gaul]::Abba: Hey! Cool bird! It's yours, right?::Justforkix: Uh... yeah, it's... it's mine alright.::Abba: Are you the Champion?::Justforkix: [trying to sound important] My name is Justforkix. Who are you?::Abba: Oh, yeah, sorry - I'm Abba.::Justforkix: Can - can you help me?::Abba: Yeah, if I can.::[Abba sees that he's shivering - she takes off her coat, revealing her skimpy Vikingette dress beneath]::Justforkix: Wow!::Justforkix: [Abba wraps the coat around him] Thanks - yeah, that's nice. [Continues to shiver]::Abba: Are you cold?::Justforkix: N-no... I'm not cold. I'm... I'm... afraid.::Abba: [gasps] You are so *lucky*!::Justforkix: Lucky?::Abba: To be able to fly!::Justforkix: *Fly*?::Abba: Oh, I'd love to be able to fly up in the sky, and then soar higher and higher right up to the sun!::Justforkix: Uh...::Abba: Oh, please, teach me? Tell me your secrets?::Justforkix: Uh... if you help me get home, I'll, uh, give it a try...::Timandahaf: What is this? [to Abba] I've told you a hundred times, not to talk to strangers!::Justforkix: S-s-sorry!::Timandahaf: Not *you*! *Her!*::Abba: Gee, Dad, thanks for embarrassing me in front of the hostage!

[Justforkix sees Asterix and Obelix after an intense and - to him - frightening 3 days of training]::Justforkix: No! Please! [Hides behind Impedimenta] Do *not* leave me alone with them!::Abraracourcix: [to Asterix and Obelix] Ooh, is THAT what you call "fantastic", "great" progress? I gave you a mission to make a man of him!::[Asterix and Obelix look ashamed]::Justforkix: Uh, nobody asked *me* if I *wanted* to be a man!

Plot: The Egyptian Queen Cleopatra bets against the Roman Emperor, Julius Caesar, that her people are still great, even if the times of the Pharaohs has long passed. She vows (against all logic) to build a new palace for Caesar within three months. Since all her architects are either busy otherwise or too conservative in style, this ambivalent honor falls to Edifis. He is to build the palace and be covered in gold or, if not, his fate is to be eaten by crocodiles. Edifis calls upon an old friend to help him out: The fabulous Druid Getafix from Gaul, who brews a fantastic potion that gives supernatural strength. In order to help and protect the old Druid, Asterix and Obelix accompany him on his journey to Egypt. When Julius Caesar gets wind of the project succeeding, he has the building site attacked by his troops in order to win the bet and not lose face. But just like the local pirates, he hasn't counted on Asterix and Obelix.

Plot: Caesar has had enough when another legion is hacked to pieces by the damned single indomitable village in Gaul because of the druid's magic potion, so he decides to tackle the problem at the root before conspiratorial senators exploit his humiliation: sycophant Lucullus is ordered to capture the druid (believed immortal) and push him over the edge of the earth (according to the story still believed to be flat as a pizza; actually Greeks and Romans knew better). By pure luck, Lucullus' first net traps both druid and Obelix's pet dog, so the giant and Asterix follow them by ship on the Atlantic, and crash after a storm on the North America coast in pursuit of the druid who was catapulted off the Roman galley before Lucullus triumphantly sets sails back for Europe. They find the druid and meet a tribe of Indians (believing to be in India), literally a whole New World for the equally primitive Celts. At the home front, Caesar sees his chance to overrun the village, but has to wait till the last magic potion has run out, hoping the heroes won't return. In America, the medicine man has a bad eye in the foreigners, especially when the druid proves a dangerous rival...
