Gideon Grey's Transformation into a Pastry Chef
Judy
Is that... Gideon Grey?
Stu
Yep! It sure is. We work with him now.
Bonnie
He's our partner, and we never would have considered it had you not opened our minds.
Stu
That's right, I mean Gid's turned into one of the top pastry chefs in the Tri-Burrows.
Judy
That's-- That's really cool, you guys. Gideon Grey. I'll be darned.
[amazed; Gideon takes out pastries but looks up when he hears Judy.]
Gideon
Hey, Judy. I would just like to say, I-I'm sorry for the way I behaved in my youth. I-I-I had a lot of self-doubt, and it manifested itself in the form of unchecked rage and aggression. I was a major jerk.
[sincerely]
Judy
Well, I know a thing or two about being a jerk.
[smiles; Gideon takes out a tray of pies from his truck.]
Gideon
Anyhow, I-I brought y'all these pies.
[smiles]
Stu
Hey, kids, don't you run through the Midnicampum holicithias!
Bunny kid
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[he and the others stop running and move away from the flowers]
Gideon
Well, now, there's a $4-word, Mr. H. My family always just called them "Night Howlers".
Judy
I'm sor-- What did you say?
Stu
Oh, Gid's talking about those flowers, Judy. I use them to keep bugs off the produce. But I don't like the little ones going near em on account of your Uncle Terry.
Bonnie
Yeah, Terry ate one whole when we were kids and went completely nuts.
Stu
He bit the dickens out of your mother.
Judy
A bunny can go savage.
[putting the pieces together]
Bonnie
Savage? Well, that's a strong word. But it did hurt like the devil.
Stu
Well, sure it did. There's a sizable divot in your arm. I'd call that savage.
Judy
Night Howlers aren't wolves. They’re flowers. The flowers are making the predators go savage. That's it! That's what I've been missing! Oh! Keys! Keys, keys, keys! Hurry! Come on! Thank you! I love you, bye!
[realizing the truth; gasps; races away towards Stu’s truck, then turns back; Stu tosses Judy the keys to his truck.; gets in the truck, starts it up and races back towards Zootopia]
Stu
You catch any of that, Bon?
Bonnie
Not one bit.
Gideon
Oh, that makes me feel a little bit better, I-I thought she was talking in tongues or something.

Unexpected Moments in Zootopia's Scene
Nick
Carrots? Hopps! Judy!!
[emerges; worriedly]
Judy
We gotta tell Bogo!
[also emerges, holding the plastic bag with her phone in it]
Gazelle
Wow, you are one hot dancer, Chief Bogo.
[Bogo smiles, and then quickly puts his phone away as Clawhauser enters his office.]
Clawhauser
Chief Bogo!
Chief Bogo
Not now!
Clawhauser
Wait, is that Gazelle?
Chief Bogo
No!
Gazelle
I'm Gazelle, and you are one hot dancer.
[on the video]
Clawhauser
You have the app, too? Ohhh... Chief!
[squeals]
Chief Bogo
Clawhauser, can't you see I'm working on the missing mammal cases?
[annoyed; changing the subject]
Clawhuaser
Oh, oh, oh, yes, of course. About that, sir, Officer Hopps just called. She found all of em!
Gazelle
Wow! I'm impressed.
[on the video]
Judy
Mayor Lionheart, you have the right to remain silent. Anything--
Lionheart
You don't understand! I was trying to protect the city!
Judy
You were just trying to protect your job.
Lionheart
No, listen! We still don't know why this is happening. It could destroy Zootopia.
Judy

Balancing Pride and Fear in New Adventures
Bonnie
We're real proud of you, Judy.
Stu
Yeah. And scared, too.
Bonnie
Yes.
Stu
Really, it's a kind of a "proud-scared" combo. I mean Zootopia! It's so far away. Such a big city.
Judy
Guys, I've been working this for my whole life.
Bonnie
We know, and we're just a little excited for you, but terrified.
Judy
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
Stu
And also, bears. We have bears to fear, too. To say nothing about lions, and wolves--
Bonnie
Wolves?
Stu
Weasels.
Bonnie
You play Cribbage with a weasel?
Stu
Yeah, and he cheats like there's no tomorrow. You know what? pretty much all predators, and Zootopia's full of them.
Bonnie
Oh, Stu.
Stu
And foxes are the worst.
Bonnie
Actually, your father does have a point there. It's in their biology. Remember what happened with Gideon Grey?
Judy
When I was 9, Gideon Grey was a jerk who happened to be a fox. I know plenty of bunnies who are jerks.
Stu
Yeah, but just in case, we made you a little care package to take with you
Bonnie
And I put some snacks in there.
Stu
This is fox deterrent.
Bonnie
Yeah, I know.
Stu
This is fox repellent.
Bonnie
Yeah, the deterrent and the repellent--
Stu
And check this out!
[shows Judy a fox taser; The fox taser unleashes a powerful zap, surprising him.]
Bonnie
Oh, for goodness sake, she has no need for a fox taser, Stu.
Stu
Oh, come on, when is there not a need for a fox taser?
Judy
Okay, look, I will take this to make you stop talking.
[shows her parents the fox repellent]
Stu
Terrific! Everyone wins!

A Quick Reflection on Performance
Judy
Was I okay?
Bellwether
Oh, you did fine.
Judy
Oh, that went so fast, I didn't get a chance to mention you, or say anything about how we--
[relieved, to Nick]
Nick
Oh, I think you said plenty.
[darkly]
Judy
What do you mean?
Nick
Clearly there's a biological component"? "These predators may be reverting back to their primitive, savage ways"? Are you serious?
Judy
I just stated the facts of the case. I mean, it's not like a bunny could go savage.
Nick
Right. But a fox could, huh?
Judy
Nick, stop it. You're not like them.
Nick
Oh, there's a "them" now?
[angrily]
Judy
You know what I mean. You're not that kind of predator.
[annoyed sigh]
Nick
The kind that needs to be muzzled? The kind that makes you think you need to carry around fox repellent? Yeah, don't think I didn't notice that little item the first time we met. So, l-let me ask you a question. Are you afraid of me? Do you think I might go nuts? You think I might go savage? You think I might try to... EAT YOU?! I knew it. Just when I thought somebody actually believed in me, huh? Probably best if you don't have a predator as a partner.
[Judy stares at Nick in disbelief, her nose slightly twitching in fear.; jumps forward; Judy gasps, instinctively jumps back and puts her hand over the fox repellent.; scoffs; gives Judy back the application she gave him for the ZPD and leaves]
Judy
No, Nick! Nick!
[tries to follow Nick, but is blocked by the reporters]
Beaver reporter
Officer Hopps, were you just threatened by that predator?
Judy
No, he’s my friend.
Rabbit reporter
We can't even trust our own friends?
Judy
That is not what I said. Please--!
Beaver reporter
Are we safe?
Rabbit reporter
Have any other foxes gone savage?

New Recruits and Unexpected Assignments in Zootopia
Chief Bogo
All right, all right, enough. Shut it! We have some new recruits with us this morning, including our first fox. Who cares?
[The officers sit down.; Nick is seen sitting next to Judy on the same chair she's standing on.]
Nick
Heh. You should have your own line of inspirational greeting cards, sir.
Chief Bogo
Shut your mouth, Wilde! Assignments: Officers Grizzoli, Fangmeyer, Delgato; Tundratown SWAT. Snarlov, Higgins, Wolfard; undercover. Hopps, Wilde... parking duty. Dismissed. Just kidding. We have reports of a street racer tearing up Savannah Central. Find him, shut him down.
[Judy and the officers snicker, and Bogo takes out his glasses and the files.; The officers stand up and leave.; Snarlov puts on a green cap, Higgins puts on a fake mustache, and Wolfard puts on a sheep costume, and they leave.; Judy and Nick look shocked, as if saying "What?!". Then Bogo smiles.; becomes serious again]

Stereotypes and Humor in Animal Interactions
Nick
So, are all rabbits bad drivers, or is it just you?
Judy
Oops. Sorry.
[slyly]
Nick
Sly bunny.
[pulls off a pawpsicle that got stuck to his face from the impact; chuckles]
Judy
Dumb fox!
Nick
You know you love me.
Judy
Do I know that? Yes. Yes, I do.
[smiles warmly]
Judy
Sir, you were going 115 miles per hour. I hope you have a good explanation.
Nick
Well, well! Flash, Flash, 100-yard-dash!
[surprised]
Flash
Nick!
[slowly smiles, sheepishly]

Confrontation Among Young Characters in Zootopia
Young Gideon
Give me your tickets right now, or I'm gonna kick your meek little sheep butt!
[shoves Sharla]
Sharla
Ow! Cut it out, Gideon!
Young Gideon
Baa-baa! What are you gonna do, cry?
[takes the tickets]
Young Judy
Hey! You heard her. Cut it out.
[out of nowhere]
Young Gideon
Nice costume, loser. What crazy world are you living in where you think a bunny could be a cop?
Young Judy
Kindly return my friend's tickets.
[unfazed]
Young Gideon
Come get em. But watch out, cause I'm a fox, and like you said in your dumb little stage play, us predators used to eat prey, and that killer instinct is still in our "dunnah".
Travis
Uh, I'm pretty much sure it's pronounced "DNA".
Young Gideon
Don't tell me what I know, Travis!
[shoving Travis]
Young Judy
You don't scare me, Gideon.
[Gideon shoves Judy onto the ground, knocking her police hat off her head.]
Young Gideon
You scared now?
Travis
Look at her nose twitch! She is scared!
Young Gideon
Cry, little baby bunny. Cry-- Aw, you don't know when to quit, do you? I want you to remember this moment, the next time you think you'll ever be anything more than just a stupid carrot-farming dumb bunny!
[Judy kicks him in the face, shocking everyone; feels his lips; retracts his claws and slashes Judy's cheek, offscreen, as she screams, leaving claw marks on her cheek; shoves her face in the dirt; leaves with Travis and they high-five each other, not realizing Judy sneakily took back the tickets. The children rush to Judy.]
Gareth
That looks bad.
Sharla
Are you okay, Judy?
Young Judy
Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay. Here you go.
[holds out the tickets]
Sharla
Wow! You got our tickets back!
Gareth
You're awesome, Judy!
Sharla
Yeah, that Gideon Grey doesn't know what he's talking about!
Young Judy
Well, he was right about one thing: I don't know when to quit.
[puts her police hat back on, as determination spreads across her face]

Identifying Mr. Big in Zootopia
Judy
Is that Mr. Big?
Nick
No.
[whispers]
Judy
What about him? Is that him?
Nick
No!
Judy
That's gotta be him.
[gasps at the sight of him]
Nick
Stop talking, stop talking, stop talking!
[whispering through gritted teeth]
Judy
Huh.
[tilts her head]
Nick
Mr. Big, sir, this is a simple mis-- Oh, yeah. This is a simple misunderstanding.

Nick
Well, actually, we were brought here against our will, so-- Point is, I–I did not know that it was your car, and I certainly did not know about your daughter's wedding.
[laughs nervously; Mr. Big gives him a look]
Mr. Big
I trusted you, Nicky. I welcomed you into my home. We broke bread together. Grandmama made you a cannoli. And how did you repay my generosity? With a rug, made from the butt of a skunk. A skunk-butt rug. You disrespected me. You disrespected my grandmama, who I buried in that skunk-butt rug. I told you to never show your face here again, but here you are, snooping around with this-- What are you, a performer? What's with the costume?
[Koslov crosses his chest in prayer.; to Judy]
Judy
Sir, I am a co--
Nick
Mime! She is a mime! This mime cannot speak. You can't speak if you're a mime.
Judy
No, I'm a cop. And I'm on the Emmitt Otterton case, and my evidence puts him in your car. So, intimidate me all you want, I'm gonna find out what you did to that otter if it's the last thing I do.
[shows Emmitt's family picture]
Mr. Big
Meh. Then I have only one request: Say hello to Grandmama. Ice em.
[to the polar bears]
Nick
Whoa, whoa, whoa! I-I-I didn't see nothing! I'm not saying nothing!
Mr. Big
And you never will.
Nick
Please!
Judy
Put me down!
Nick
No, no, no! If you're mad at me about the rug, I've got more rugs.
Fru Fru
Oh, Daddy! It's time for our dance! Ugh! What did we say? No icing anyone at my wedding!
[enters the room in a wedding dress; sees the polar bears holding Nick and Judy above the pit; upset]
Mr. Big
I have to baby, Daddy has to. Ice em.
[to Fru Fru; to the polar bears; The polar bears prepare to lower Judy and Nick.]
Nick
No, no, no!
Fru Fru
Wait. Wait! She's the bunny that saved my life yesterday! From that giant donut!
[The polar bears stop again.]
Mr. Big
This bunny?
Fru Fru
Yeah! Hi!
[waves to Judy]
Judy
Hi. I love your dress.
Fru Fru
Aw, thank you!
Mr. Big
Hmm. Put em down. You have done me a great service. I will help you find the otter. I will take your kindness and pay it forward.
[The polar bears close the trap door and put Judy and Nick down; to Judy; extends his arms with a smile; Judy leans forward and Mr. Big kisses her on both cheeks. Nick looks at them dumbfounded.]

Family Reunion and First Day Reflections
Judy
Oh, hey! it's my parents!
Bonnie
Oh, there she is. Hi, sweetheart.
Stu
Hey there, Jude the Dude. How was your first day on the force?
Judy
It was real great.
Bonnie
Yeah? Everything you ever hoped?
Judy
Mm-hmm. Absolutely, and more. Everyone's so nice and I feel like I'm really making a difference.
Stu
Whoa, wait a second. Holy cripes, Bonnie, look at that.
[looks closely on the screen]
Bonnie
Oh, my sweet heavens! Judy, are you a meter maid?
[hopefully]
Judy
Oh, this? No! Oh, no, no! This is just a temporary thing.
Bonnie
Oh, it's the safest job in the force.
Stu
Oh, she's not a real cop. Our prayers have been answered!
Bonnie
Glorious day!

Discovery of Unusual Claw Marks and CDs
Nick
Oh, my God!
[opens the limo’s glove compartment and suddenly jumps back in alarm]
Judy
What? What?!
Nick
The Velvety Pipes of Jerry Vole! But on CD. Who still uses CDs? Carrots, if your otter was here, he had a very bad day.
[smirks; Judy looks at him annoyed, puts a polar bear’s fur in a plastic bag.; tosses the CDs back, opens the door revealing the back, gets spooked and his ears pull back]
Judy
Those are... claw marks. You ever seen anything like this?
[goes to take a look, which the back is ripped, and claw marks are shown everywhere]
Nick
No.
Judy
Oh, wait. Look! This is him. Emmitt Otterton. He was definitely here. What do you think happened?
[hops down and looks at Emmitt's wallet, seeing his picture]
Nick
Well, now, wait a minute. Polar bear fur, Rat Pack music, fancy cup? I know whose car this is. We gotta go.
[looks around and sees a cup. He picks it up and sees a fancy "B" imprinted on it.; alarmed]
Judy
Why? Whose car is it?
Nick
The most feared crime boss in Tundratown. They call him Mr. Big, and he does not like me, so we gotta go.
Judy
I'm not leaving. This is a crime scene.
Nick
Well, it's gonna be an even bigger crime scene if Mr. Big finds me here, so we're leaving right now. Oh, gah! Raymond! And is that Kevin? Long time, no see. And speaking of no see, how about you forget you saw me? Huh? For old times sake? That's a no.
[opens the limo’s door; turns and sees two polar bears waiting for them; Raymond and Kevin grab the two by their throats.]
Judy
What did you do that made Mr. Big so mad at you?
[whispering]
Nick
I, um... I may have sold him a very expensive wool rug... that was made from the fur of a skunk...'s butt.
[whispering]
Judy
Oh, sweet cheese and crackers.

City Faces Fear Amid Rising Animal Attacks
Fabienne Growley
More bad news in the city gripped by fear. A caribou is in critical condition, the victim of mauling by a savage polar bear. This, the 27th such attack, comes just one week after ZPD officer Judy Hopps connected the violence to traditionally predatory animals.
Peter Moosebridge
Meanwhile, a peace rally organized by pop star Gazelle was marred by protest.
[Gazelle is seen in front of a protest peace rally. Judy is seen between a frantic pig and a female leopard, trying to break up the argument.]
Frantic pig
Go back to the forest, predator!
[with hostility]
Female leopard
I'm from the savannah!
[holding up a sign; offended]
Gazelle
Zootopia is a unique place. It's a crazy, beautiful diverse city where we celebrate our differences. This is not the Zootopia I know. The Zootopia I know is better than this. We don't just blindly assign blame. We don't know why these attacks keep happening, but it is irresponsible to label all predators as savages.
[interviewed; looks behind herself for a moment and gestures; Judy is still standing between the frantic pig and the female leopard.; On a train, Judy sees a tiger sitting next to a bunny mother and child, playing on his phone placidly. The mother pulls the child close to her. The tiger's eyebrows narrow slightly. Judy looks on in shame.; In the asylum, Mrs. Otterton sees her husband in his savage state, tethered to a pole in the middle of the room, snarling and pacing. Judy walks up to her and puts her hand on her shoulder.]
Mrs. Otterton
That's not my Emmitt.
[sadly; Judy sadly looks at her; looks down and closes her eyes]
Gazelle
We cannot let fear divide us. Please, give me back the Zootopia I love.
Chief Bogo
Come on, Hopps. The new mayor wants to see us.
Judy
The mayor? Why?
Chief Bogo
It would seem you've arrived.
Judy
Clawhauser? What are you doing?
[follows Bogo, and sees Clawhauser packing his stuff because he was demoted]
Clawhauser
Um, they thought it would be better if a predator, such as myself, wasn't the first face that you see when you walk into the ZPD.
[sadly]
Judy
What?
[shocked]
Clawhauser
They're gonna move me to records. It's downstairs. It's by the boiler.
[Clawhauser sadly walks off, Judy looks at him, upset and guilty. Bogo calls to her by the door.]
Chief Bogo
Hopps!
Judy
Um, I don't understand.
Bellwether
Our city is 90% prey, Judy, and right now, they're just really scared. You're a hero to them. They trust you. And so that's why Chief Bogo and I want you to be the public face of the ZPD.
Judy
I'm...not-- I'm not a hero. I came here to make the world a better place, but I think I broke it.
[looks at the cover and gives thought]
Chief Bogo
Don't give yourself so much credit, Hopps. The world has always been broken. That's why we need good cops. Like you.
Judy
With all due respect, sir, a good cop is supposed to serve and protect—help the city, not tear it apart. I don't deserve this badge.
[takes off her badge]
Chief Bogo
Hopps.
[shocked]
Bellwether
Judy, you've worked so hard to get here. It's what you wanted since you were a kid. You can't quit.
[also shocked]

A Tense Moment of Trust and Decision
Nick

Nick
No, you-- What?!
Judy
One, two--
Nick
No, I said, do not-- RABBIT! Carrots, you saved my life.
[Judy lets go and swings herself and Nick under the bridge and ends up trapped in vines. Manchas growls at them.]
Judy
Well, that's what we do at the ZPD. AAAAHH!
[warmly; The vines snap, sending the pair falling into the trees.]

Discovery of the Savage Serum Explained
Bellwether
Judy! Judy!
Judy
Mayor Bellwether! We found out what's happening. Someone's darting predators with a serum. That's what's making them go savage.
Bellwether
I'm so proud of you, Judy. You did just a super job.
Judy
Thank you, ma'am. How did you know where to find us?
[starts to hand Bellwether the case, but suddenly, she takes it away in surprised suspicion]
Bellwether
I'll go ahead, and I'll take that case now.
Judy
Uh, you know what? I think Nick and I will just take this to the ZPD.
[uneasily]
Judy and Nick
Run.
Bellwether
Get them.
[to her henchmen]

A Bunny's Regret and Call for Redemption
Judy
Oh, Nick! Night Howlers aren't wolves. They're toxic flowers. I think someone is targeting predators on purpose and making them go savage.
Nick
Wow. Isn't that interesting?
[sarcastically and still upset with Judy; gets up; walks under the bridge, while Judy follows him]
Judy
Wait, listen! I-I know you'll never forgive me, and I don't blame you. I wouldn't forgive me either. I was ignorant and irresponsible and small-minded. But predators shouldn't suffer because of my mistakes. I have to fix this. But I can't do it without you. And-- And after we're done, you can hate me. And tha-- And that'll be fine, because I was a horrible friend, and I hurt you. And you-- And you can walk away knowing that you were right all along: I really am just a dumb bunny.
[Nick stops walking but doesn't look at Judy.; Nick still refuses to look at her.; voice breaking; sobbing]
Judy's Voice
I really am just a dumb bunny." I really am just a dumb bunny.".
[Judy tearfully and incredulously looks at Nick. Nick holds up the carrot pen and replays Judy's words.]
Nick
Don't worry, Carrots. I'll let you erase it...in 48 hours. All right, get in here. Okay. Oh, you bunnies. You're so emotional. There we go, deep breath. Are you just trying to steal the pen? Is that what this is? You are standing on my tail, though. Off, off-off-off.
[stops recording, turns around and smiles; Judy tears up with joy, wipes away her tears and, emotionally exhausted, walks towards Nick.; Judy walks closer and leans her face on Nick's torso, still sobbing; Nick embraces her.; Judy giggles and tries to grab the pen.]
Judy
Oh! I'm sorry.

Nangi's just on the other side of the pleasure pool.
[Judy sees many nude animals, and she is shocked]
Nick
Oh, boy. Does this make you uncomfortable? Because if so, there's no shame in calling quits.
Judy
Yes, there is.
Nick
Boy, that's the spirit.
[sarcastically]
Yax
Yeah, some mammals say the naturalist life is weird, but you know what I say is weird? Clothes on animals. Here we go! As you can see, Nangi's an elephant, so she'll totally remember everything. Hey, Nangi, these dudes have some questions about Emmitt the otter.
[Judy groans; the trio come across Nangi]
Nangi
Who?
Yax
Uh, Emmitt Otterton? Been coming to your yoga class for, like, 6 years?
Nangi
I have no memory of this beaver.
Judy
He's an otter, actually.
Yax
He was here a couple of Wednesdays ago, remember?
Nangi
No.
Yax
Yeah, he was wearing cable knit sweater vest, and a new pair of corduroy slacks. Oh, and a Paisley tie, sweet Windsor knot. Real tight. Remember that, Nangi?
Nangi
No.
Yax
Yeah, and we both walked him out, and he got into this big old white car with a sliver trim. Needed a tune-up, the third cylinder wasn't firing. Remember that, Nangi?
Nangi
Nope.
[with her body curled into the shape of a backwards C]
Judy
Um, uh, you didn't happen to catch the license plate number, did you?
Yax
Oh, for sure. It was 2-9-T-H-D-0-3.
Judy
(2-9-T-H-D-)0-3. Wow, this is a lot of great info, thank you.
[writing it down]
Yax
Told you Nangi has a mind like a steel trap. Ah, I wish I had a memory like an elephant.

Conflict Among Zootopia's Diverse Characters
Moose
I was 30 SECONDS OVER!
[grunts angrily]
Mouse
Ugh! Yeah, you're a "real hero", lady.
[sarcastically; Another parking meter goes off and Judy puts another ticket on another car.]
Hippo kid
My mommy says she wishes you were dead.
[innocently]
Offscreen angry driver
Uncool, rabbit. My tax dollars pay your salary.
[Irritated, Judy goes inside her car and slowly taps her head on the steering wheel.]
Judy
I am a real cop. I am a real cop. I am a real cop. I am a real cop…
[to herself]

Perceptions Shape Identity and Self-Worth
Nick
I learned two things that day. One: I was never gonna let anyone see that they got to me.
Judy
And two?
Nick
If the world's only gonna see a fox as shifty and untrustworthy, there's no point trying to be anything else.
Judy
Nick, you are so much more than that.
[comfortingly; puts her paw on Nick's arm, who becomes uncomfortable and quickly changes the subject]
Nick
Boy, look at that traffic down there. How about we go up to Chuck in traffic central? Chuck, how are things looking on the jam-cams?
[puts two fingers up to his ear, imitating a reporter]
Judy
Nick, I’m glad you told me.
Nick
The jam-cams.
[realizing]
Judy
Seriously, it's okay.
Nick
No, no, no. Shh. There are traffic cameras everywhere, all over the canopy! Whatever happened to that jaguar--
Judy
The traffic cams would have caught it!
Nick
Bingo!
Judy
Ha-ho! Pretty sneaky, slick!
Nick
However, if you didn't have access to the system before, I doubt Chief Buffalo Butt is gonna let you into it now.
Judy
No. But I have a friend at City Hall who might.
[gets an idea]

Consequences of a Bold Action
Judy
I popped the weasel!
[after capturing Duke Weaselton]
Chief Bogo
Hopps!
[on the second-floor balcony; points to his office]
Male voice
Uh-oh.
[whispers; off-screen]
Chief Bogo
Abandoning your post, inciting a scurry, reckless endangerment of rodents! But to be fair, you did stop a master criminal from stealing two dozen moldy onions.
[shows the bag, revealing plant bulbs]
Judy
Mmm, hate to disagree with you, sir, but those aren't onions. Those are a crocus varietal called Midnicampum holicithias. They're a Class C botanical, sir. Well, I grew up in a family where plant husbandry was kind of a thing.
Chief Bogo
Shut your tiny mouth now!
[annoyed; puts the bag away]
Judy
Sir, I got the bad guy. That's my job.
Chief Bogo
Your job is putting tickets on parked cars!
[his intercom beeps]
Clawhauser
Chief, uh, Mrs. Otterton is here to see you again.
[through the intercom]
Chief Bogo
Not now.
Clawhauser
OK, I just didn't know if you'd want to take this time. She seems really upset.
Chief Bogo
Not now!
Judy
Sir, I don't wanna be a meter maid, I wanna be a real cop.
Chief Bogo
Do you think the mayor asked what I wanted when he assigned you to me?
Judy
But, sir, if--
Chief Bogo
Life isn't some cartoon musical where you sing a little song, and your insipid dreams magically come true! So, ].
[[w:Let It Go (Disney song)|let it go]
Mrs. Otterton
Chief Bogo, please. 5 minutes of your time, please.
[comes into Bogo's office]
Clawhauser
I'm sorry, sir. I tried to stop her. She's super slippery. I gotta go sit down.
[out of breath]
Chief Bogo
Ma'am, as I've told you, we're doing everything we can.
Mrs. Otterton
My husband has been missing for 10 days. His name is Emmitt Otterton.
Chief Bogo
Yes, I know.
Mrs. Otterton
He's a florist. We have two beautiful children. He would never just disappear.
Chief Bogo
Ma'am, our detectives are very busy.
Mrs. Otterton
Please. There's gotta be somebody to find my Emmitt.
[desperate]
Chief Bogo
Mrs. Otterton--
Judy
I will find him.
Mrs. Otterton
Oh, thank you! Bless you! Bless you, little bunny! Take this. Find my Emmitt. Bring him home to me and my babies, please.
[elated; runs up to Judy and hugs her; Bogo growls in annoyance.; hands a photo of her family to Judy]
Chief Bogo
Ahem! Mrs. Otterton, will you please wait out here?
Mrs. Otterton
Of course. Oh, thank you both so much.
[leaves the office]
Chief Bogo
One second. You're fired.
[closes the door; sternly to Judy]
Judy
What? Why?
[shocked]
Chief Bogo
Insubordination! Now, I'm going to open this door, and you're going to tell that otter that you're a former meter maid with delusions of grandeur who will not be taking the case.
[opens the door to see Mrs. Otterton with Bellwether]
Bellwether
I just heard Officer Hopps is taking the case.
Chief Bogo
Assistant Mayor Bellwether.
[surprised]
Bellwether
The Mammal Inclusion Initiative is really startin to pay off. Mayor Lionheart is just gonna be so jazzed!
[chuckles]
Chief Bogo
No, no, let's not tell the mayor just yet.
Bellwether
And I've sent it, and it is done, so I did do that. Alright, well, I'd say the case is in good hands. Us little guys really need to... stick together, right?
[Bogo facepalms in annoyance.]
Judy
Like glue.
Bellwether
Good one. Just call me if you ever need anything, okay? You've always got a friend at City Hall, Judy. Alright, bye-bye.
[laughs; she and Mrs. Otterton leaves]
Judy
Thank you, ma'am.
Chief Bogo
I will give you 48 hours.
[closes the door and sighs; reluctantly]
Judy
YES!
[excited]
Chief Bogo
That’s two days to find Emmitt Otterton.
Judy
Okay.
Chief Bogo
But, you strike out... you resign. (Okay?)
Judy
Oh. Uh... Okay. Deal.
[her enthusiasm drops; regains her composure]
Chief Bogo
Splendid. Clawhauser will give you the complete case file.
[smirks]

Officer Hopps Interrogates Nick and Finnick
Judy
Hi! Hello? It's me again!
Nick
Hey, it's Officer Toot-Toot!
Judy
No. Actually, it's Officer Hopps, and I'm here to ask you some questions about a case.
[chortles]
Nick
What happened, meter maid? Did someone steal a traffic cone? It wasn't me. Hey, Carrots, you're gonna wake the baby. I gotta get to work.
[Annoyed, Judy rides up and pulls up in front of Nick, blaring her siren.; refers to Finnick]
Judy
This is important, sir. I think your $10 worth of pawpsicles can wait.
[gets out of her cart with the folder, a notepad, and a carrot pen]
Nick
Heh. I make 200 bucks a day, Fluff. 365 days a year, since I was 12. And time is money. Hop along.
Judy
Please, just look at the picture. You sold Mr. Otterton that pawpsicle, right? Do you know him?
[shows a close-up picture of Emmitt eating a pawsicle]
Nick
I know everybody. And I also know that somewhere, there's a toy store missin its stuffed animal, so why don't you get back to your box?
Judy
Fine. Then we’ll have to do this the hard way.
[her smile drops and becomes serious]
Nick
Did you just boot my stroller?
Judy
Nicholas Wilde, you are under arrest.
Nick
For what? Hurting your feewings?
[scoffs; in a baby voice; mockingly]
Judy
Felony tax evasion. Yeah, $200 a day, 365 days a year since you were 12. That's two decades, so times 20, which is... $1,460,000, I think. I mean, I am just a "dumb bunny", but we are good at multiplying. Anyway, according to your tax forms, you reported, let me see here... 0! Unfortunately, lying on a federal form is a punishable offense. Five years jail time.
[smiles slyly; Nick's smile drops, and his eyes widen in shock as Judy writes.; Nick's face freezes in shock.]
Nick
Well, it's my word against yours.
Judy
Actually, it's your word against yours. And if you want this pen, you're going to help me find this poor missing otter, or the only place you'll be selling pawsicles is the prison cafeteria. It's called a hustle, sweetheart.
[smirks mockingly]
Finnick
She hustled you. She hustled you good! You a cop now, Nick! You gon need one o these. Have fun working with the fuzz!
[opens the stroller, laughing; slaps his badge sticker on Nick's shirt. Nick frowns.; walks away, still laughing]
Judy
Start talking.
[to Nick]
Nick
I don't know where he is. I only saw where he went.
[sighs]
Judy
Great! Let's go!
[gets in her cart]
Nick
It's not exactly a place for a... cute little bunny.
[smirks]
Judy
Don't call me "cute"; Get in the car.
[annoyed]
Nick
Okay, you're the boss.
[smirking; joins Judy]

Confrontation Over Unexplained Animal Behavior
Lionheart
Enough! I don't want excuses, Doctor! I want answers!
[annoyed]
Lionheart
Really? Cause I've got a dozen-and-a-half animals in here who'd gone off-the-rails crazy, and you can't tell me why! Now, I'd call that awfully far from "doing everything"!
Dr. Badger
Sir, it may be time to consider their biology.
Lionheart
What? What do you mean, "biology"?
Dr. Badger
The only animals going savage are predators. We cannot keep it a secret, we need to come forward.
Lionheart
Hmmm. Great idea. Tell the public. And how do you think they're gonna feel about their mayor... WHO IS A LION?! I'LL BE RUINED!
[sarcastically; yells angrily]
Dr. Badger
Well, what does Chief Bogo say?
Lionheart
Chief Bogo doesn't know, and we are going to keep it that way.
Judy
Oh, no, no, no!
[gasps as her phone starts ringing because of her parents calling her]
Lionheart
Someone's here!
[having heard Judy's phone ring]
Dr. Badger
Sir, you need to go. Now. Security, sweep the area!
[ushering Lionheart out of the room; shuts the door, setting off an alarm, which automatically shuts and locks all the cells]
Nick
Great. We're dead. We're dead. That's it! I’m dead, you’re dead. Everybody's dead!
[after he and Judy notice the timber wolves about to burst into the room to sweep the jail cells; leans against a toilet without realizing]
Judy
Can you swim?
[gets an idea]
Nick
What? Can I swim? Yes, I can swim. Why?
[Judy puts her phone in a plastic bag.]

Betrayal and Conflict in Zootopia
Bellwether
Well, you should have just stayed at the carrot farm, huh? It really is too bad, I-I did like you.
[laughs evilly, to Judy]
Judy
What are you gonna do? Kill me?!
Bellwether
No, of course not. He is.
[laughs; aims the dart gun at Nick, deviously; shoots Nick with the serum pellet; he falls to the floor, writhing]
Judy
No! Oh, Nick!
Bellwether
Yes, police! There's a savage fox in the Natural History Museum! Officer Hopps is down! Please hurry!
[talks to the ZPD via cellphone, fake-panicked]
Judy
No, Nick. Don't do this. Fight it.
Bellwether
Oh, but he can't help it, can he? Since preds are just biologically predisposed to be savages. Gosh. Think of the headline: "Hero cop killed by savage fox".
[Nick appears to turn feral and attacks Judy. She tries to run away and defend herself by throwing a stuffed fawn at him. Judy then cowers by the wall.; Nick rips the fawn to pieces with his teeth.]
Judy
So that's it? Prey fears predator and you stay in power?
Bellwether
Yeah. Pretty much.
Judy
It won't work!
Bellwether
Fear always works. And I'll dart every predator in Zootopia to keep it that way.
Judy
Oh, Nick. No.
[as Nick closes in on her, growling]
Bellwether
Bye-bye, bunny.
[chuckles evilly]
Judy
Bleh! Blood, blood, blood! And death.
[sticks out her tongue; theatrically]
Nick
All right, you know, you’re milking it. Besides, I think we got it. I think we got it. We got it up there, thank you, Yakety-Yak. You laid it all out beautifully.
[amused; to Bellwether]
Bellwether
What?
[shocked and confused]
Nick
Yeah, oh, are, are you looking for the serum? Well, it's right here.
[pulls out the serum pellet from his pocket]
Judy
What you got in the weapon there? Those are blueberries. From my family's farm.
[Bellwether opens the pistol to find that it's loaded with blueberries.]
Nick
There are delicious. You should try some.
[blows a kiss]
Bellwether
I framed Lionheart, I can frame you, too. It's my word against yours.
[angrily grunts and closes the pistol]
Judy
Ooh. Actually…
[rewinds her recording pen]
Bellwether
And I'll dart every predator in Zootopia to keep it that way.
[on the recording]
Judy
It's your word against yours.
Bellwether
Huh?
Judy
It's called a hustle, sweetheart. Boom.

A Slow Encounter in Zootopia
Judy
You said this was gonna be quick!
Nick
Are you saying that because he's a sloth he can't be fast? I thought in Zootopia, anyone could be anything. Flash, Flash, 100-yard dash! Buddy, it's nice to see you.
[They walk up to one of the sloths.]
Flash
Nice to... see you... too.
Nick
Hey, Flash, I'd love you to meet my friend. Uh, darling, I've forgotten your name.
Judy
Hmm... Ah… Officer Judy Hopps, ZPD. How are you?
Flash
I am... doing... just...
Judy
Fine?
[trying to finish Flash's sentence]
Flash
...as well... as... I can... be. What...
Nick
Hang in there.
[to Judy; smugly]
Flash
...can I... do...
Judy
Well, I was hoping you could run a plate--
Flash
...for you...
Judy
Well, I was hoping you could--
Flash
...today?
[pauses for a few seconds]
Judy
Well, I was hoping you could run a plate for us. We are in a really big hurry.
Flash
Sure. What's the... plate...
Judy
2-9-T--
Flash
...number?
Judy
2-9-T-H-D-0-3.
Flash
2...9...
[begins typing the plate number very slowly on his computer]
Judy
T-H-D-0-3.
[trying to speed up the process]
Flash
...T...
Judy
H-D-0-3.
Flash
...H...
Judy
D-0-3.
Flash
...D...
[pauses; types D]
Judy
Mmm-hmm. 0-3.
Flash
...0...
Judy
3!
[desperately]
Nick
Hey, Flash, wanna hear a joke?
Judy
No!
Flash
Sure.
[stops typing; Judy growls in annoyance.]
Nick
Okay, what do you call a three-humped camel?
Flash
I don't... know. What...do...you call...a...
Judy
...three-humped...camel.
[impatiently]
Flash
...three-humped... camel?
Nick
Pregnant.
[laughs]
Judy
Ha-ha! Yes, very funny, very funny! Can we please just focus on the---
Flash
Hey...
Judy
Wait, wait, wait!
Flash
...Priscilla!
Judy
Oh, no!
Priscilla
Yes... Flash?
Flash
What...
Judy
Oh!
Flash
...do...
Judy
No!
Flash
...you call a...
Judy
A three-humped camel? Pregnant! Okay, great! We got it! Please, just...
[desperately trying to speed up the joke]
Flash
...three-humped... Here...
[Judy growls in frustration and bangs her head on the counter. Much later, the paper prints out; slowly separates it at the perforation and hands it to Judy.]
Judy
Yes! Yeah, yeah, yeah, hurry.
Flash
...you...
Judy
Thank you! 29THD03.
[hastily grabs the paper]
Flash
...go.
Judy
It's registered to... Tundratown Limo Service! A limo took Otterton! And the limo's in Tundratown! It's in Tundratown!
[quickly runs out]
Nick
Way to hustle, bud. I love ya. I owe ya.
[to Flash; Judy and Nick walk out of the DMV.]
Judy
Hurry! We gotta beat the rush hour and-- IT'S NIGHT?! Closed! Great.
[looks outside, shocked.; The scene changes to the Tundratown Limo Service; tugs on the lock on the gate.]
Nick
Mm. And I will betcha you don't have to warrant to get in, hmm? Darn it. It's a bummer.
Judy
You wasted the day on purpose.
Nick
Madam, I have a fake badge. I would never impede your pretend investigation.
Judy
It's not a pretend investigation. Look, see? See him? This otter is missing.
[takes out Emmitt's family picture]
Nick
Well, they should've gotten a real cop to find him.
Judy
What is your problem? Does seeing me fail somehow make you feel better about your own sad, miserable life?
Nick
It does 100%. Now, since you're sans warrant, I guess we're done?
Judy
Fine. We are done. Here's your pen.
Nick
Hey. First off, you throw like a bunny. Second, you're a very sore loser.
