The Intire Zootopia Script
The Intire Zootopia Script
During the
following line, a tiger is stalking the rabbit.]
Young Judy Hopps: [initially hushed, her voice gradually increasing in volume]
Fear, treachery, blood lust. Thousands of years ago, these were the forces that
ruled our world. A world where prey were scared of predators. And predators had an
uncontrollable, biological urge to maim and maul, and-
[The rabbit drinks from the water hole, notices, and turns around just when the
tiger pounces towards it. Cut to reality. It is revealed that the "jungle" is
really a stage in an auditorium, and as for the hunting, Jaguar, in a tiger
costume, is pretending to pounce on a young Judy Hopps, who is wearing gray and
white clothes that match her fur.]
Young Judy Hopps: Ahh! [she draws out long, red ribbons from her costume] Blood,
blood, blood! [Judy falls on her back, making choking noises. She reaches for a
hidden ketchup bottle and, while still laying on her back, places it upright under
her arm and squeezes its contents all over her body while pretending to convulse.]
And... death!
[Judy squeezes the bottle one last time, much to the horror and disgust of the
audience and her parents, Bonnie and Stu Hopps, the latter of whom is recording the
play with a camcorder with his mouth agape, and the former, who is facepalming.
Bobby Catmull bangs dramatically on a timpani drum. Judy stands up.]
Young Judy Hopps: Back then, the world was divided in two - vicious predators
[Jaguar hisses] and meek prey. [Judy gives an innocent look as her ears droop.
Boxes, labeled "Viscous [sic] Predator" and "Meek Prey" lower down and cover them.
The "sc" in "Viscous" is crossed out and replaced with "ci," proving it was
corrected to being spelled "vicious." Bobby plays bass notes on the hammered
dulcimer heavily, then plays a light harp glissando, when Sharla the sheep in white
robe-like clothing tosses confetti from a basket over the bags and prances around.]
But over time, we evolved and looked beyond our primitive savage ways. [The boxes
pull up and Judy and Jaguar are in white robes as well. Sharla pops a noisemaker
and Judy and Jaguar hold paws] Now, predator and prey live in harmony and every
young mammal has multitudinous opportunities.
Sharla: Yeah, I don't have to cower in a herd anymore. [takes off white clothing,
revealing an astronaut outfit and puts on a helmet] Instead, I can be an astronaut!
[The crowd applauds as Bobby plays a slide whistle indicating alien music.]
Young Judy Hopps: And I can make the world a better place, I am going to be...
[Bobby turns on a radio and moves his head side to side with the beat of the police
music that is heard, and Judy tears off the clothing revealing a police officer's
uniform] ...a police officer!
[Bonnie and Stu look shocked and glance at each other in worry. Some of the smaller
rabbits are clapping.]
Young Gideon Grey: [laughs and slaps his knee, nudging Travis, who is eating
peanuts] Bunny cop! That is the most stupidest thing I ever heard.
Young Judy Hopps: [puts on a police officer's hat] It may seem impossible to small
minds - I'm looking at you, Gideon Grey - [Gideon glares at her; the jungle
backdrop curtain on the stage rises, revealing a colorful painted mural of Zootopia
behind it. Sharla and Jaguar hold up a banner reading "where anyone can be
anything"; Bobby plays the piano in the background.] ...but, just two-hundred and
eleven miles away stands the great city of Zootopia, where our ancestors first
joined together in peace and declared that anyone can be anything! [Judy bows.
Bobby plays the final notes on a keyboard and turns to the audience with a grin.
The audience applauds. Stu closes the camcorder and he and Bonnie look at each
other in concern] Thank you and good night!
Stu Hopps: Judy, you ever wonder how your mom and me got to be so darn happy?
Stu Hopps: Well, we gave up on our dreams and we settled, right, Bon?
Stu Hopps: See? That's the beauty of complacency, Jude. If you don't try anything
new, you'll never fail!
Young Judy Hopps: I like trying, actually. [jumps on a line of hay and skips]
Bonnie Hopps: What your father means, hun, is that it's gonna be difficult,
impossible even, for you to become a police officer.
Young Judy Hopps: [disappointed] Oh... [enthusiasm picks up again] Then I guess
I'll have to be the first one! Because I [runs to a stand, flips off of it, and
lands, striking a pose] am gonna make the world a better place!
Stu Hopps: [laughs nervously] Or, uh, heck, you know, if you wanna talk about
making the world a better place, no better way to do it than becoming a carrot
farmer.
Bonnie Hopps: Yes! Your dad, me, your two-hundred seventy-five brothers and
sisters, we're changing the world!
Stu Hopps: Amen to that. Carrot farming is a noble profession. [as Bonnie and Stu
are talking, Judy sees Sharla, Gareth, and a rabbit girl with tickets walking off;
Gideon and Travis are close by and they follow them.]
Bonnie Hopps: Mm-hm. Just putting the seeds on the ground.
Stu Hopps: Ahh. And one with the soil, just getting covered in dirt. [Judy follows
her friends and foes.]
Bonnie Hopps: You get it, honey. Yeah, but it's great to have dreams.
Stu Hopps: Yeah, just as long as you don't believe in them too much. [They both
turn to look at her, but then realize that Judy is no longer present. Stu briefly
looks around] Where'd the heck she go?
[Judy peeks from behind a tree and sees Gideon and Travis cornering the children.
The rabbit girl hides behind Gareth]
Young Gideon Grey: Gimme your tickets right now, or I'm gonna kick your meek little
sheep butt! [hits Sharla's head]
Young Gideon Grey: Baaa, baaa! [takes the tickets] What are you gonna do, cry?
Young Judy Hopps: [steps forward] Hey! You heard her, cut it out. [Travis runs
behind Judy]
Young Gideon Grey: [sarcastically] Nice costume, loser! What crazy world are you
livin' in where you think a bunny could be a cop?
Young Judy Hopps: [unfazed, she puts her hand out] Kindly return my friend's
tickets.
Young Gideon Grey: [taps his overalls pocket] Come and 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 our killer instinct's still in our duh-nuh.
Young Gideon Grey: [irritated, he swats at Travis] Don't tell me what I know,
Travis! [Travis recoils]
Young Judy Hopps: You don't scare me, Gideon! [Gideon pushes Judy hard to the
ground, knocking her hat off; the children gasp and scream in shock before running
behind a tree]
Young Gideon Grey: Scared now? [Judy's face shows fear as her eyes water and her
nose twitches]
Young Gideon Grey: Cry, little baby bunny, cry! Cr- [Then, Judy kicks Gideon hard
in the face, causing the others to gasp, flabbergasted. Gideon feels his lip.] Aww,
you don't know when to quit, do you? [Gideon unsheathes his claws. Judy gasps in
fear, and Gideon growls, then slashes Judy across the cheek. She shrieks in agony,
and her friends cringe; the rabbit girl and Sharla cover their eyes and Gareth
bites his lip. Judy's cheek shows three claw marks on it. Judy feels her cheek and
gasps, her face full of fear. Gideon grabs Judy's head, holding it into the ground
as she whimpers] I want you to remember this moment the next time you think you
will ever be anything more than just a stupid, carrot-farming dumb bunny! [he gives
her head one final push for good measure]
[Gideon and Travis leave high-fiving each other and laughing. The children rush to
Judy.]
Young Judy Hopps: Yeah, yeah. I'm okay. [holds up tickets] Here you go.
Sharla: [takes the tickets back, impressed] Wow! You got our tickets!
Sharla: Yeah! That Gideon Grey doesn't know what he's talkin' 'bout!
Young Judy Hopps: Well, he was right about one thing: [Judy picks up her officer
hat off the ground and puts it back on, as determination spreads rapidly across her
face.] I don't know when to quit!
Major Friedkin: Listen up, cadets! Zootopia has twelve unique ecosystems within its
city limits. Tundratown! Sahara Square! Rainforest District - to name a few! You're
gonna have to master all of them before you hit the streets or guess what? [looks
at Judy] You'll be dead! [Judy shows a surprised look.]
Major Friedkin: Scorching sandstorm! [the cadets make their way across through the
Sahara Square section; Judy struggles, and the sand covers her completely; her tail
sticks out.] You're dead, bunny bumpkin.
[The cadets cross through monkey bars in the Rainforest District section.]
Judy Hopps: Whoa! [Judy loses her grip and falls face flat in the mud.]
Major Friedkin: Frigid ice-wall! [Judy tries to climb the iceberg wall, but slides
off and falls in the icy water. She emerges, freezing.] You're dead, farm girl!
Major Friedkin: Enormous criminal! [Judy fights a rhino, but gets knocked back.]
You're dead! [Scenes show Judy covered in tar in a tire, her ears caught in a
police cruiser door, and falling off the vines.] Dead, dead, dead!
[Judy sighs in exhaustion, goes up to a large toilet stall, hops up on the toilet
seat, slips, and falls in, making water spill.]
Major Friedkin: [from the stall right next to Judy's] Filthy toilet! You're dead,
fluff-butt! [Scene changes to Judy outside at dusk.] Just quit and go home, fuzzy
bunny.
[Eventually, however, Judy returns and does personal training by doing pull-ups on
her bunk bed with an open book in front of her. She then has returned to the
Academy and hopped over two of her fellow cadets to hop over the iceberg, much to
the impression of the Major. Then in the ring, she dodges the rhino's punches,
pulls back against the ropes and kicks the rhino's hand, making him punch himself,
knocking his mouth guard and falls down.]
Dawn Bellwether: [frantically looks for the badge] Oh, yes, right!
Hopps sibling: Yay, Judy! [Bellwether places the badge on Judy's uniform.]
Judy Hopps: I won't let you down. [quietly] This has been my dream since I was a
kid.
Dawn Bellwether: [aside] You know, it's a - it's a real proud day for us little
guys.
Leodore Lionheart: Bellwether, make room, will ya? Come on. [pushes Bellwether out
of the way by her face and poses next to Judy.] Okay, Officer Hopps. Let's see
those teeth!
Stu Hopps: Really, it's a - it's kind of a proud-scared combo. I mean, Zootopia, so
far away, such a big city.
Judy Hopps: Guys, I've been working for this my whole life.
Bonnie Hopps: We know, and we're just a little excited for you, but terrified.
Stu Hopps: And also bears. We have bears to fear too, say nothing of lions and
wolves-
Stu Hopps: Yeah, and he cheats like there's no tomorrow. [Judy sighs.] You know
what? Pretty much all predators, and Zootopia's full of 'em.
Bonnie Hopps: Actually, your father does have a point there. It's in their biology.
Remember what happened with Gideon Grey?
Judy Hopps: When I was nine. Gideon Grey was a jerk who happened to be a fox. I
know plenty of bunnies who are jerks.
Stu Hopps: Sure, yeah, we all do, absolutely. But just in case, [holds up a bag] we
made a little care package to take with you.
Bonnie Hopps: Okay, the deterrent and the repellent, that's all she needs.
Stu Hopps: [takes out a fox taser] Check this out! [Stu turns the fox taser on. The
fox taser releases a powerful blast, nearly zapping Judy, who cringes.]
Bonnie Hopps: Oh, for goodness sake! [pulls the fox taser away] She has no need for
a fox taser, Stu!
Stu Hopps: Oh, come on, when is there not a need for a fox taser?
Judy Hopps: Okay, look! I will take this [Takes fox repellent] to make you stop
talking.
Judy Hopps: Okay, gotta go. Bye! [Judy enters the train, other siblings are heard
saying, "Bye, Judy!" Judy pauses for a second, then runs back and hugs her parents]
I love you guys! [She kisses Bonnie's cheek, and then Stu's.]
Bonnie Hopps: Love you, too. [Judy releases them and runs back to the train]
Stu Hopps: [sniffing and tearing up, he briefly clenches his fists] Oh, cripes.
Here come the waterworks. [He blubbers and clings to Bonnie, who pats his
shoulder.] Oh, geez...
Dharma Armadillo: And welcome to the Grand Pangolin Arms, luxury apartments with
charm. Complementary de-lousing once a month... Don't lose your key. [gives her the
key and leaves]
Judy Hopps: Thank you. [sees Bucky and Pronk Oryx-Antlerson walking past her] Oh,
hi! I'm Judy, your new neighbor.
Judy Hopps: Greasy walls... [puts her suitcase on the floor and presses down on the
bed] Rickety bed... [Bucky and Pronk are heard next door saying "Shut up!" to each
other, two pictures on Judy's wall move up and down as the two yell at each other]
Crazy neighbors... [flops on the bed with a huge smile] I love it!!
[The alarm goes off at 5:30; Judy turns it off, gets in her uniform, polishes her
badge, unlocks her door and grabs her key. She looks at the fox repellent.]
Judy Hopps: Eh... [Judy leaves the room. A few seconds later, she goes back in and
grabs the repellent.]
Judy Hopps: Down here! [Clawhauser looks out from his desk and sees Judy] Hi!
Benjamin Clawhauser: O.M. Goodness. [puts down his bowl of cereal, clearly
surprised and excited] They really did hire a bunny. [Laughs] What?! Heh, I gotta
tell you, you are even cuter than I thought you'd be!
Judy Hopps: Ooh, uh, you probably didn't know, but a bunny can call another bunny
cute, but when other animals do it, it's a little...
Judy Hopps: [giggles] That's okay. [notices a donut stuck under Clawhauser's neck
fold] Oh, you've actually - you've actually got... There's a...
Benjamin Clawhauser: Where? [Pulls the donut out of his neck fat] Oh, there you
went, you little dickens! [eats the donut whole.] Nom!
Judy Hopps: [laughs nervously] I should get to roll call, so which way do I-
Benjamin Clawhauser: [points] Oh, bull pen's over there to the left.
Judy Hopps: Great. Thank you! [Judy walks off to the bull pen as the other officers
watch her in amusement.]
Benjamin Clawhauser: Aww! That poor little bunny's gonna get eaten alive.
[Judy enters the room and sees a bunch of officers, most of the predator kind,
conversing. She sees a lion and a polar bear arm wrestling. The polar bear pins the
lion's arm down with a huge thud, surprising Judy and causing laughter from the
other officers. She walks to a chair and struggles to get on, which she manages to
do. She looks at Officer McHorn, a rhino.]
Judy Hopps: [cheerfully] Hey! Officer Hopps. You ready to make the world a better
place?
[Judy holds out her clenched paw for a fist bump. Officer McHorn snorts, rolls his
eyes, and uses his fist to push Judy's fist, which pushes her and her chair a few
feet away. She laughs half-heartedly.]
[As Chief Bogo, the cape buffalo chief of police enters, the other, larger officers
bang their fists on the desks.]
Chief Bogo: Alright. Alright! Everybody sit. [Judy sits, but when she sits, only
the tips of her ears are shown, so later she stands.] I've got three items on the
docket. First... we need to acknowledge the elephant in the room. [turns to an
elephant officer] Francine [they look at Francine in mild suspense] - happy
birthday.
[The suspense turns into excitement; officers around Francine get involved in a
tussle]
Chief Bogo: Number two; there are some new recruits with us I should introduce, but
I'm not going to, because I don't care.
Chief Bogo: Finally; we have fourteen missing mammal cases - all predators - from a
giant polar bear to a teensy little otter, and City Hall is right up my tail to
find them! This is priority number one. [Higgins gives Chief Bogo the files; Bogo
takes out glasses and starts handing them out to the assigned officers]
Assignments: Officers Grizzoli, Fangmeyer, Delgato; your teams take missing mammals
from the Rainforest District. [Delgato takes the file from Grizzoli as the team
leaves] Officers McHorn, Rhinowitz, Wolfard; your teams take Sahara Square. [McHorn
takes the file and his team leaves] Officers Higgins, Snarlov, Trunkaby:
Tundratown. [Trunkaby takes the file and the team leaves] And finally our first
bunny: Officer Hopps... [Judy anxiously awaits for her assignment; Chief Bogo
sighs, giving a blank stare] parking duty. Dismissed. [Judy shows signs of
confusion.]
Judy Hopps: Parking duty? [gets Chief Bogo's attention, who was leaving the room]
Chief? Chief Bogo? [Chief Bogo puts on his glasses and looks down at Judy] Sir, you
said there were fourteen missing mammal cases.
Judy Hopps: So I can handle one. You probably forgot, but I was top of my class at
the academy.
Chief Bogo: Well then, writing one hundred tickets a day should be easy. [Leaves
room; Judy seems stunned, she taps her foot angrily]
Judy Hopps: A hundred tickets, I'm not gonna write a hundred tickets. I'm gonna
write two-hundred tickets! Before noon!
Judy Hopps: Boom! Two-hundred tickets before noon. [Judy's own meter expires]
Ugh... [prints out a ticket and gives it to her own vehicle] two-o-one.
[Then, she hears a car horn and sees Nick Wilde, a fox, dodging a Fresh Doe truck
being driven by a ram named Doug.]
[Judy watches Nick, slyly standing by an ice cream parlor, Jumbeaux's Café. When an
elephant enters, Nick goes inside. Suspicious, Judy runs across the road, goes up
to the parlor and peeks through the window looking for Nick, but she doesn't see
him. There are elephants in line, and a hippo kid is seen walking.]
Judy Hopps: [whispering] Where'd he go? [Judy hops down and goes inside the store]
[In the café, an elephant scoops up a large chunk of pink ice cream with his trunk
and places it on a cup. He sucks up a lot of peanuts from a bag using his trunk,
and loudly blows them out onto the ice cream, with some of the peanuts falling onto
the table. He then puts a cherry on top for good measure. The owner, Jerry
Jumbeaux, Jr., an elephant, is at the counter taking orders. Judy enters and sees
Nick talking to Jerry.]
Jerry Jumbeaux, Jr.: Listen, I don't know what you're doing skulking around during
daylight hours, but I don't want any trouble in here, [Judy opens the lid off her
belt to use the fox repellent] so hit the road!
Nick Wilde: I'm not looking for any trouble either, sir. I simply wanna buy a
Jumbo-pop for my little boy. [a fennec fox, Finnick appears, in an elephant
costume, sucking on a pacifier. He looks at Judy. Judy is taken aback; to Finnick]
You want the red or the blue, pal?
[Finnick walks up to the glass and points to the cherry jumbo pop]
Judy Hopps: Ugh, [closes the strap on her belt and starts to leave] I'm such a -
Jerry Jumbeaux, Jr.: [to Finnick] Okay, come on, kid, back up. [to Nick] Listen,
buddy, what? There aren't any fox ice cream joints in your part of town? [Judy
stops and overhears them, her ears pricking up.]
Nick Wilde: Uh, no, no. There are, there are. It's just, my boy, [patting Finnick
on the head] this goofy little stinker, he loves all things elephant, he wants to
be one when he grows up. [Finnick puts on an elephant mask and trumpets like an
elephant] Is that adorable?
Nick Wilde: Who the heck am I to crush his little dreams, huh? Right?
Jerry Jumbeaux, Jr.: Look, you probably can't read, fox, [takes out a sign and
points to it with his trunk] but the sign says "We reserve the right to refuse
service to anyone", so beat it! [he points to the door with his trunk]
Elephant Lady: [pushing Nick from behind] You're holding up the line!
Jerry Jumbeaux, Jr.: Hey, you're gonna have to wait your turn like everyone else,
meter maid.
Judy Hopps: Actually, [pulls back the orange mesh strap of her meter maid outfit,
revealing her police uniform and badge] I'm an officer. Just had a quick question:
are your customers aware they're getting snot and mucus with their cookies and
cream? [an elephant couple are eating ice cream together holding trunks. Upon
hearing this, the male elephant spits the ice cream from his trunk in the female
elephant's face.]
Judy Hopps: Well, I don't wanna cause you any trouble, but I believe scooping ice
cream with an ungloved trunk is a class-three health code violation. [Jerry notices
an employee holding ice cream with his trunk. The employee drops the ice cream,
wipes his trunk on his apron, and sheepishly walks out.] Which is kind of a big
deal. [Nick stands bewildered at her eagerness to help him.] Of course I can let
you off with a warning if you glove those trunks and, I don't know, finish selling
this nice dad and his son a... [to Nick, whispered] What was it?
[Finnick toots]
Nick Wilde: Thank you so much. [to Judy] Thank you. [Feels his pockets, then
becomes mildly surprised.] Oh no, are you kidding me? I don't have my wallet!
[chuckles nervously] I'd lose my head if it weren't attached to my neck. That's the
truth. [sighs] Oh boy, [to Finnick] I'm sorry, pal. [strokes Finnick's head] Gotta
be about the worst birthday ever. [places his paws on Finnick's cheeks] Please
don't be mad at me. [kisses Finnick on the head and they walk out; to Judy] Thanks
anyway. [as he takes Finnick out, the latter points back at the counter]
[Judy watches them leave, slams a twenty dollar bill on the counter.]
Nick Wilde: Officer, I can't thank you enough. So kind, really. Can I pay you back?
Judy Hopps: Oh no, my treat. It just - you know, it burns me up to see folks with
such backward attitudes toward foxes. I just wanna say that you're a great dad and
just a... A real articulate fella.
Nick Wilde: Well, that is high praise. It's rare that I find someone so non-
patronizing. Officer...
Nick Wilde: Wilde. Nick Wilde. [Judy and Nick shake paws; Judy looks at Finnick]
Judy Hopps: And you, little guy, you want to be an elephant when you grow up? You
be an elephant. Because this is Zootopia. [places a Zootopia Police sticker on
Finnick] Anyone can be anything. [Finnick toots]
Nick Wilde: Ah, boy, I tell him that all the time. [gives Finnick the jumbo pop]
Alright, here you go. Two paws, yeah. Oh, look at that smile [Finnick smiles
through the costume], that's a happy birthday smile! All right. Give her a little
bye-bye toot-toot!
Nick Wilde: Bye now! [Spins around and walks down the street with Finnick]
[She notices Finnick holding a jar, and red juice is pouring out of a rain gutter.
Nick is seen on top of a roof, melting the Jumbo-pop on a chimney grate. After he
melts it completely, he tosses the stick down, slides down from the roof like a
surfer, grabs the jars, and he and Finnick walk inside their van and drive off.
Judy looks confused as she sees Finnick driving the van. She follows them to
Tundratown and sees Nick and Finnick. Finnick makes paw prints in the snow and puts
small popsicle sticks by them, while Nick pours the melted Jumbo-pop juice over it.
Judy continues to watch them in confusion. Later, Nick is seen carrying a cart of
small Pawpsicles. He looks at the clock and it chimes 5:00. Lemmings are seen
exiting Lemming Brothers Bank.]
[Some lemmings leave, then one of them takes notices and goes up to Nick, and the
other lemmings follow. The lemmings pay Nick as he hands them the pawpsicles one by
one. They eat the pawpsicles and throw the sticks in the recycle cans in unison.
Finnick pops out from the recycle cans and pulls carts holding the discarded sticks
to the van. Judy watches suspiciously. Later, in Little Rodentia, a mouse foreman
is working until he is halted by Nick putting the sticks in front of him.]
Nick Wilde: Lumber delivery!
[Judy watches from behind the grass and growls angrily, knowing she'd been conned.]
Nick Wilde: Thirty-nine, forty. There you go. Way to work that diaper, big guy!
[Finnick takes off the costume and goes in the van.] Hey! No kiss bye-bye for
daddy? [Finnick slams the door, spits out the pacifier and looks at Nick.]
Finnick: [in a deep gruff voice] You kiss me tomorrow, I'll bite your face off!
[French hip hop music starts playing; Finnick puts on shades] Ciao. [Finnick drives
off, revealing a glaring Judy. As Nick eats one of his own "pawpsicles", he stops
at the sight of her.]
Judy Hopps: Well. I stood up for you, and you lied to me. You liar!
Nick Wilde: It's called a hustle, sweetheart. And I'm not the liar, he is! [points
the other way; Judy looks, but sees no one. She turns back and sees that Nick
disappeared. She turns the other way and sees Nick walking away]
Judy Hopps: Hey! [chases Nick] All right, slick Nick, you’re under arrest.
Judy Hopps: Gee, I don’t know. How about selling food without a permit,
transporting undeclared commerce across borough lines, false advertising...
Nick Wilde: [shows a certificate] Permit, receipt of declared commerce, and I did
not falsely advertise anything. Take care.
Judy Hopps: You told that mouse the pawpsicle sticks were redwood!
Nick Wilde: That’s right. [hands her the stick] Red wood. With a space in the
middle. Wood that is red. [crosses the street as wildebeest cross] You can’t touch
me, Carrots. I've been doing this since I was born.
Judy Hopps: [threateningly] You’re gonna want to refrain from calling me "Carrots."
Nick Wilde: My bad, I just naturally assumed you came from some little carrot-
choked Podunk, no?
Judy Hopps: [gets through the wildebeest] Uh, no. Podunk is in Deerbrooke County
and I grew up in Bunnyburrow.
Nick Wilde: Okay. Tell me if this story sounds familiar. [takes a blueberry from a
stand and eats it] Naive little hick with good grades and big ideas decides, "Hey,
look at me, I’m gonna move to Zootopia, where predators and prey live in harmony
and sing “Kumbaya”!" Only to find - whoopsie - we don’t all get along. And that
dream of becoming a big-city cop? Double whoopsie! She’s a meter maid. And whoopsie
number three-sie, no one cares about her or her dreams. [As he says this, she looks
sad and shocked that he knows everything] And soon enough those dreams die, [Judy
gives him a look of shock and anger at the mention of the possibility of her dream
dying] and our bunny sinks into emotional and literal squalor, living in a box
under a bridge. Till, finally, she has no choice but to go back home with that cute
fuzzy-wuzzy little tail between her legs [he brushes his tail against the ground to
emphasize] to become... You're from Bunnyburrow, is that what you said? So how
about a carrot farmer? Does that sound about right? [walks off, leaving Judy
stunned. Judy follows Nick and is almost trampled by a rhino] Be careful now, or it
won’t just be your dreams getting crushed.
Judy Hopps: [catches up to Nick, frustrated] Hey, hey! No one tells me what I can
or can’t be! Especially not some jerk who never had the guts to try and be anything
more than a pawpsicle hustler.
Nick Wilde: All right, look, everyone comes to Zootopia thinking they can be
anything they want. Well, you can’t. You can only be what you are. [points to
himself] Sly fox, [points to Judy] dumb bunny.
Judy Hopps: I am not a dumb bunny. [She sinks a bit and there is a soft squelch as
she sinks to her knees]
Nick Wilde: Right. [points down] And that's not wet cement. [Judy is seen up to her
knees in cement; Three construction beavers take notice and glare at her. Nick
walks off as Judy struggles to break loose] You'll never be a real cop. You’re a
cute meter maid, though. Maybe a supervisor one day. Hang in there! [Nick turns a
corner, leaving Judy upset.]
Stu Hopps: Hey there, Jude the Dude! How was your first day on the force?
Judy Hopps: Mm-hmm, absolutely and more! Everyone's so nice, and I feel like I'm
really making a difference.
Stu Hopps: [notices Judy's meter maid uniform] Wait a second... [gets a bit closer
to the screen] Holy cripes, Bonnie, look at that!
Bonnie Hopps: [gets a bit closer to the screen as well] Oh, my sweet heaven! Judy,
are you a meter maid?
Judy Hopps: Oh, this - [tries hurriedly to cover her vest] No! Oh, no. No, this is
just a temporary thing!
Stu Hopps: She's not a real cop! Our prayers have been answered!
Stu Hopps: Ho-ho! Meter maid, meter maid, meter maid, meter maid!
Judy Hopps: [over Stu] Dad. Dad! Dad! You know what, it's been a really long day, I
should really...
Judy Hopps: Buh-bye... [Judy puts down the phone and sits back, still depressed, as
the music still plays.]
Pronk Oryx-Antlerson: [from the other room] Hey, bunny, turn down that depressing
music!
Bucky Oryx-Antlerson: [from the other room] Leave the meter maid alone! Didn't you
hear her conversation? She feels like a failure!
[Pause]
Moose: [grumbles, he holds up the ticket] I was thirty seconds over! [Judy winces,
looking exhausted and defeated.]
[Another parking meter has expired and Judy puts a ticket on a tiny car.]
Mouse: [holding up the ticket] Ugh! Yeah, you're a real hero, lady!
[Another parking meter goes off and Judy puts another ticket on another car. A
female hippo is holding her daughter's hand, and in her other hand, she's holding
her ticket, shaking in indignation.]
Hippo Girl: My mommy says she wishes you were dead. [her mother walks off with her]
Offscreen character: Uncool, Rabbit! My tax dollars pay your salary! [Judy, bummed,
goes inside her car and slowly taps her head on the steering wheel.]
Judy Hopps: [sighs] I am a real cop, I am a real cop, I am a real cop, I am a real
cop... [Duke Weaselton runs past her carrying a duffel bag. Frantic Pig goes up to
her.]
Judy Hopps: [agitated, stops banging her head] Sir, if you have a grievance, you
may contest your citation in traffic court.
Frantic Pig: What are you talking about?! My shop! It was just robbed! Look, he's
getting away! [Duke quickly runs away from the shop. Frantic Pig shakes Judy's
vehicle violently, surprising her] Well, are you a cop or not?!
Judy Hopps: [seeing it as an opportunity to prove herself] Oh! Yes. Yes! Don't
worry, sir, I got this! [Judy runs out of her car, throws her hat away, tears off
her vest like Superman tearing out of his uniform, and chases after Duke.] Stop!
[Duke sees her chasing after him.] Stop in the name of the law!
Duke Weaselton: Catch me if ya can, cottontail! [Judy chases Duke through Savannah
Central. Duke dodges large animals and runs under a police car.] Coming through!
Officer McHorn: This is Officer McHorn, we got a 10-31. [Judy hops from behind the
car, slides off the top, and continues chasing after Duke.] Huh?
[Judy continues chasing Duke; Duke sees the entrance of Little Rodentia. He throws
the bag over the gate and dives through the hole. Some mice run away as Duke enters
through the hole and catches the bag. He chuckles and runs off. Judy slides through
the entrance and looks for Duke. She sees the bag.]
Judy Hopps: You! Freeze! [Judy runs after him and McHorn runs up to the gate.]
Officer McHorn: Hey! Meter maid! Wait for the real cops! [Judy chases Duke down the
streets.]
[Duke steps on tiny cars with mice driving them and uses them as roller skates. He
taunts Judy.]
[Duke roller skates through between buildings and hops on them. Judy follows him
and sees Duke jumping on the buildings and tipping the last one in the process. In
one of the buildings, a mouse is on a hamster wheel and notices their house is
being tilted. The buildings topple each other like dominoes. Judy stands between
the buildings and pushes them back in place. The mice scream and scurry around.
Judy makes her way past them without stepping on them, but struggles to do so.]
Judy Hopps: Oh! Sorry, coming through! Excuse me. Excuse me. Pardon. [She gets on
the train tracks and hears a train whistle. She sees Duke on top on a mouse-sized
train. She quickly gets out of the way.] Aaahh!
[Judy growls and goes after him. Duke notices a pipe, and inside a mouse looks up
and yelps. Duke dodges it, and then he notices more pipes. He dodges four pipes,
feeling confident. Then he notices Judy hanging from another pipe. She grabs Duke
and spins around and sends him flying off. Duke lands on a small flat building, The
Big Donut. He sees Judy coming at him.]
Duke Weaselton: Have a donut, copper! [He kicks the donut sign, Judy yells and
ducks. Not far away, Fru Fru, a lady shrew, is seen walking down the street with
her shrew friends carrying shopping bags.]
Fru Fru: Oh my God, did you see those leopard print jeggings?
[Her friends hear the donut thumping on the street, and they scream and run away.
Fru Fru notices the donut heading for her and screams.]
Judy Hopps: Oh! [she takes notices and catches the donut, which is just a few
inches away from her head. Fru Fru looks up and sees Judy holding the donut sign.]
[He gets spooked and yelps as a shouting Judy slams the donut on him. The scene
changes to the ZPD where Clawhauser is talking to Mrs. Otterton while holding a
donut.]
Benjamin Clawhauser: Okay. You're gonna have to be patient and wait in line just
like everyone else, Mrs. Otterton, okay?
[Clawhauser and Mrs. Otterton hear the doors open. Clawhauser gets startled, and
Mrs. Otterton watches curiously as Duke is seen bound by the donut, rolling across
the room. He hits the side of the desk, making Clawhauser and Mrs. Otterton both
yelp with surprise, Clawhauser accidentally drops his donut in the process. Duke
moans, stops rolling, and lands in place, upside-down. Mrs. Otterton looks
curiously at the donut sign as it stops rolling. Judy jumps through the open
doorway, heroically and happily.]
Chief Bogo: HOPPS! [Judy sees Chief Bogo on the second-floor balcony, who points
angrily to the left to meet him in his office.]
Judy Hopps: Mmm, hate to disagree with you, sir, but those aren't onions. Those are
a crocus variety called Midnicampum holicithius. They're a Class С botanical, sir.
Well, I grew up in a family where plant husbandry was kind of a thing--
Chief Bogo: Shut your tiny mouth now! [puts the bag away]
Benjamin Clawhauser: [through intercom] Chief, uh, Mrs. Otterton's here to see you
again.
Benjamin Clawhauser: [through intercom] Okay, I just didn't know if you wanted to
take it this time, she seems really upset...
Chief Bogo: [this time, punctuating one word at a time and pushing the button once
for each word] NOT! NOW!
Judy Hopps: Sir, I don't wanna be a meter maid. I wanna be a real cop.
Chief Bogo: [fuming] Do you think the Mayor asked what I wanted when he assigned
you to me?!
Chief Bogo: Life isn't some cartoon musical where you sing a little song and your
insipid dreams magically come true! [leans in closely] So let. It. Go. [Mrs.
Otterton enters his office, distressed.]
Mrs. Otterton: Chief Bogo, please! Five minutes of your time, please!
Benjamin Clawhauser: [Enters the room, catching his breath] I'm sorry, sir... I
tried to stop her, she's super slippery... [leaves] I gotta go sit down...
Chief Bogo: [calmly] Ma'am, as I've told you, we're doing everything we can.
Mrs. Otterton: [she shows a picture of herself, Emmitt, and two otter children, one
holding a soccer ball.] My husband has been missing for ten days. His name is
Emmitt Otterton.
Mrs. Otterton: He's a florist. We have two beautiful children. He would never just
disappear.
Judy Hopps: I will find him. [She gets down off the chair.]
Mrs. Otterton: [happily and gratefully] Oh, thank you! [with a light chuckle of
relief, she rushes over to hug Judy] Bless you, bless you little bunny! [she sobs
for a moment. Judy, mildly surprised at first, returns the hug, chuckling a bit as
well. Chief Bogo grunts furiously at her.] Oh! Heh. [Mrs. Otterton gives Judy her
picture.] Take this, find my Emmitt. Bring him home to me and my babies, please.
[Judy nods]
Mrs. Otterton: [leaves the room] Of course. Oh, thank you both so much.
Chief Bogo: One second. [after Mrs. Otterton leaves, Chief Bogo closes the door and
turns to Judy, furiously, clenching his teeth] You're... fired.
Chief Bogo: Insubordination! Now, I'm going to open this door and you're going to
tell that otter you're a former meter maid with delusions of grandeur [as he
speaks, Judy lifts her arms in exasperation] who will not be taking the case.
[opens the door, revealing Mrs. Otterton with Bellwether]
Dawn Bellwether: [takes out her phone and texts] The mammal inclusion initiative is
really starting to pay off. [chuckles] Mayor Lionheart is just gonna be so jazzed!
Chief Bogo: No, no. Let's not tell the mayor just yet!
Dawn Bellwether: And sent it, and it is done, so I did do that. [Chief Bogo face
palms, annoyed, grunting; to Judy] All right, well, I'd say the case is in good
hands. Us little guys really need to... stick together, right?
Dawn Bellwether: [Laughs] Good one. Yeah. Just call me if you ever need anything,
okay? You've always got a friend at City Hall, Judy. Alright. Bye-bye!
[Bellwether and Mrs. Otterton leave, Chief Bogo with a fake smile closes the door.
He sighs begrudgingly. Judy waits for a response.]
Chief Bogo: Splendid. [opens the door] Clawhauser will give you the complete case
file.
Scene 14: Otterton's File
[Judy goes to Clawhauser's desk, where Clawhauser gives Judy the file.]
Clawhauser: Here you go! One missing otter! [Judy opens the file, revealing little
information.]
Clawhauser: Yikes! That is the smallest case file I've ever seen. Leads: none,
witnesses: none, and you're not in the computer system yet, so resources: none!
[Laughs, as Judy's ears droop] Oh, I hope you didn't stake your career on cracking
this one!
Judy Hopps: [brushes off the donut sprinkles after they fell off the donut] Okay.
Last known sighting. [Judy looks at the picture and gets annoyed by the slurping
noises. Clawhauser is drinking a bottle of Cub Soda that is totally empty.] Can I
just borrow... Thank you. [takes the bottle and uses it as a magnifying glass.
Clawhauser still has the straw in his mouth. Judy sees Emmitt holding a Pawpsicle.]
Pawpsicle...
Clawhauser: [taking the straw out of his mouth] The murder weapon...
Clawhauser: [whispered, slightly waving the straw near Judy's direction, as though
understanding] Yeah, 'cause that... [then gets confused] what does that mean?
Judy Hopps: It means... [she moves the bottle and sees Nick in the background] I
have a lead.
Judy Hopps: Ha-ha-ho... No. Actually, it's Officer Hopps and I'm here to ask you
some questions about a case.
Nick Wilde: What happened, meter maid? Did someone steal a traffic cone? It wasn't
me. [annoyed, Judy blocks the sidewalk, blaring her siren] Hey, Carrots, you're
gonna wake the baby. I gotta get to work.
Judy Hopps: [hops out of the car with the file and a carrot pen] This is important,
sir. I think your ten dollars worth of pawpsicles can wait.
Nick Wilde: Ha! I make two hundred bucks a day, Fluff. Three hundred and sixty-five
days a year since I was twelve. And time is money. Hop along.
Judy Hopps: Please, just look at the picture. [shows a close-up picture of Emmitt]
You sold Mr. Otterton that pawpsicle, right? Do you know him?
Nick Wilde: I know everybody. [smirks] And I also know that somewhere, there's a
toy store missing its stuffed animal. So why don't you get back to your box?
Judy Hopps: [her smiles drops, then becomes serious] Fine. Then we'll have to do
this the hard way.
[in a quick second, a clink is heard, and there is a parking boot attached to
Nick's stroller]
Nick Wilde: [scoffs, amused] For what? [mockingly] Hurting your feewings?
Judy Hopps: [smiles slyly] Felony tax evasion. [Nick's smile drops, flabbergasted,
and his eyes widen as Judy writes] Yeeaah... two hundred dollars a day, three
hundred and sixty-five days a year since you were twelve, that's two decades, so
times twenty which is... one million four hundred sixty thousand - I think. I mean,
[chuckles] I am just a dumb bunny, but we are good at multiplying. Anyway,
according to your tax forms, you reported, let me see here, zero! [Nick's face
freezes in fear] Unfortunately, lying on a federal form is a punishable offense.
Five years jail time.
[Judy pulls out her carrot pen and plays back Nick's confession]
Nick Wilde's voice: [Through carrot pen] ...two hundred bucks a day, Fluff. Three
hundred and sixty-five days a year since I was twelve.
Judy Hopps: 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 pawpsicles is the prison cafeteria. [grins] It's called a hustle,
sweetheart. [Nick shows a stunned look]
Finnick: She hustled you. [opens the stroller, laughing] She hustled you good!
You're a cop now, Nick! You're gonna need one of these. [slaps his police sticker
on Nick's shirt; Nick frowns] Have fun working with the fuzz! [leaves still
laughing]
Nick Wilde: [sighs] I don't know where he is, I only saw where he went.
Nick Wilde: [grins] It's not exactly a place for a cute little bunny.
Yax: [loudly, over Judy trying to get his attention] Ohm... Ohm... Ohm...
Judy Hopps: Hello? Hello? Hello!
[Yax comes out of his meditation, shaking his head, making the flies buzz around
his head. He removes his hair from his eyes, looks down, and sees Judy]
Yax: Hmm?
Yax: Ohhh, y'know, I'm gonna hit the pause button right there, 'cause we're all
good on bunny scout cookies.
Judy Hopps: Uh... no. I'm Officer Hopps, ZPD. I'm looking for a missing mammal;
Emmitt Otterton, right here, who may have frequented this establishment? [takes out
the Otterton picture and shows it to Yax. He looks at it, inhales, and sneezes,
making the flies surrounding him buzz loudly]
Yax: Yeah, old Emmitt! [chuckles, handing the picture back to Judy, who wipes off
the germs.] Haven't seen him in a couple of weeks. [he wags his tail] But hey, you
should talk to his yoga instructor. I'd be happy to take you back. [walks up to
some doors as Judy and Nick follow]
Judy Hopps: Oh thank you so much, I'd appreciate that more than you can imagine,
it'd be such an - [Judy sees Yax's rear end, showing that he's completely naked;
she covers her eyes] OHHHH, you are naked!
Yax: Huh? [he sways his hips] Oh, for sure, we're a naturalist club! [chuckles]
Nick Wilde: Yeah, in Zootopia, anyone can be anything. And these guys? They be
naked. [Judy seems disturbed by it, Yax opens the doors.]
[Judy's eyes widen and her jaw drops in horror at the sight of naked animals lying
around a pool. Among them are an elephant who trumpets while spraying some water in
the air, an antelope who is relaxing, a bear who has his/her rear end in the air, a
zebra splashing some water on his/her face, a moose floating in an inner tube, and
a panther laying in the water. Judy covers her mouth and Nick seems to be enjoying
Judy's horrified reaction. We see hippos playing ball in the pool, bears scratching
their backs against the trees, similar to Baloo from The Jungle Book, and pigs
wallowing in the mud. One is massaging another's back.]
Nick Wilde: Oh, boy. Does this make you uncomfortable? Because if so, there's no
shame in calling it quits.
Judy Hopps: [snaps out of it and enters the club] Yes, there is.
[Some hippos are playing volleyball with giraffes. They serve and the giraffe hits
it, hitting the ground, to the surprise of both hippos. As Judy and Nick follow
Yax, she seems uncomfortable at the sight of nudity. She sees a panther licking his
leg. The panther looks up at her. A giraffe drinks from a fountain, showing his
rear end.]
Yax: Yeah, some mammals say the naturalist life is weird, but you know what I say
is weird? Clothes on animals! [Yax leads Judy and Nick to an elephant leading a
yoga class with a zebra, a giraffe, and an armadillo. Judy winces and groans.] 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.
Nangi: Who?
Yax: Uh, Emmitt Otterton. Been coming to your yoga class for, like, six years.
[Judy shows the picture while trying to avoid looking at her nudity.]
Yax: Yeah, he was wearing a green cable-knit sweater vest and a new pair of
corduroy slacks. [Judy starts taking notes] Oh, and a Paisley tie, sweet Windsor
knot. Real tight. Remember that, Nangi?
Yax: Yeah, and we both walked him out, and he got into this big old white car with
a silver trim. Needed a tune-up, the third cylinder wasn't firing. Remember that,
Nangi?
Nangi: [with her body curled into the shape of a backwards C] Nope.
Judy Hopps: Um, uh, you didn't happen to catch the license plate number... did you?
[Nick seems amazed at Nangi's flexibility and looks at Judy's notes, and briefly
nods]
Judy Hopps: [writing it down] ...0-3. Wow, this is a lot of great info, thank you.
Yax: Told you Nangi has a mind like a steel trap. Ah, I wish I had a memory like an
elephant.
Nick Wilde: Well, I had a ball. You are welcome for the clue, and seeing as how any
moron can run a plate, I will take that pen and bid you adieu. [holds out his paw
for the pen]
Judy Hopps: The plate. I can't run a plate. Ooh... I'm not in the system yet.
Judy Hopps: [turns to Nick, smiling slyly] What was it you said? "Any moron can run
a plate"? Gosh, if only there were a moron around who were up to the task.
Nick Wilde: [frustrated] Rabbit, I did what you asked! You can't keep me on the
hook forever.
Judy Hopps: Not forever. Well, I only have 36 hours left to solve this case. So can
you run the plate or not?
Nick Wilde: [glares at Judy, then grins] Actually, I just remembered, I have a pal
at the DMV.
Nick Wilde: Flash is the fastest guy in there. You need something done, he's on it.
Judy Hopps: I hope so. We are really fighting the clock and every minute counts.
[Judy notices that all of the workers are sloths] Wait, they're all sloths?
[The sloths are working slowly, stamping papers, stapling papers, and taking
license pictures, irritating the customers.]
Nick Wilde: [in mock surprise] What, are you saying that because he's a sloth he
can't be fast? I thought in Zootopia anyone could be anything. [they walk up to
Flash] Flash, Flash, hundred yard dash! Buddy, it's nice to see ya.
Nick Wilde: Hey, Flash, I'd love you to meet my friend... [to Judy] Uh, darling,
I've forgotten your name. [Judy gives Nick a look]
Judy Hopps: Hmmm. [inhales] Officer Judy Hopps, ZPD. How are you?
Judy Hopps: Well, I was hoping you could run a plate for us. We are in a really big
hurry!
[After a moment of pause, Flash slowly types the number on his computer as slow as
possible.]
Judy Hopps: [Her ears droop. She's starting to lose her patience] H-D-0-3.
[Judy anxiously waits and whimpers. As Flash is about to type the last number, Nick
interrupts.]
Nick Wilde: Okay. [inhales] What do you call a three-humped camel? [he holds up
three fingers]
Judy Hopps: [losing her patience, trying to move the joke along] Three-humped
camel.
Nick Wilde: Pregnant! [laughs, elbowing Judy, who has an annoyed look and briefly
glares at Nick. Flash slowly smiles, opening his mouth, and laughs slowly]
Judy Hopps: Ha ha! Yes, very funny, very funny. Can we please just focus on the
task?
[Judy growls in frustration and bangs her head on the counter. Much later, the
paper prints out; Flash slowly gets it out and slowly hands it to Judy]
Judy Hopps: It's registered to... Tundratown Limo Service! A limo took Otterton!
And the limo's in Tundratown! [quickly runs out] It's in Tundratown!
Nick Wilde: [to Flash] Way to hustle, bud. I love ya! I owe ya! [Judy and Nick walk
out of the DMV]
Judy Hopps: Hurry! We gotta beat the rush hour and-- [looks outside, shocked, as
she sees that it's already nighttime. A cricket chirps offscreen] It's night?! [her
voice slightly echoes]
Nick Wilde: Hm. And I will betcha you don't have a warrant to get in, hmm? Darn it.
It's a bummer.
Nick Wilde: Madam, [points to his police sticker] I have a fake badge. I would
never impede your pretend investigation.
Judy Hopps: It's not a "pretend investigation". [takes out the Otterton picture]
Look, see? See him? This otter is missing.
Nick Wilde: Well, then they should've gotten a real cop to find him.
Judy Hopps: [really upset, puts the picture away] What is your problem? Does seeing
me fail somehow make you feel better about your own sad, miserable life?
Nick Wilde: It does, 100%. [grins] Now, since you're sans warrant, I guess we're...
done?
Judy Hopps: [sighs] Fine. We are done. [holds out her pen] Here's your pen.
[grinning, Nick starts to grab the pen, until Judy throws it over the other side of
the fence]
Nick Wilde: Hey! [the pen lands in the snow] First off, you throw like a bunny.
Second, you're a very sore loser. [starts climbing the fence] See you later,
Officer Fluff! So sad this is over. I wish I could've helped more! [Nick jumps
down, but is shocked to find Judy before him, holding the pen]
Judy Hopps: The thing is, [camera zooms out, revealing Judy dug underneath the
fence] you don't need a warrant if you have probable cause, and I'm pretty sure I
saw a shifty lowlife climbing the fence. So you're helping plenty! Come on! [heads
off, smiling cheekily, with Nick glaring at her. Judy uses her phone light and
wipes the snow off the license plate] 2-9-T-H-D-0-3... This is it! [Nick opens the
passenger door and Judy opens the driver's door. Cold mist comes out from the car.
Judy looks around the pedal and the brake and sees a strand of white hair. She
picks it up with a pair of tweezers.] Polar bear fur. [Nick nods, rolling his eyes.
He exhales, as shown by his visible breath. He then opens the glove compartment and
suddenly jumps back in alarm.]
Judy Hopps: What? What?! [Nick takes out a bunch of CDs. One of them has a picture
of a smiling vole on it.]
Nick Wilde: The Velvety Pipes of Jerry Vole! [grins, Judy looks at him annoyed,
puts the polar bear fur in a plastic bag] But on CD. Who still uses CDs? [tosses
the CDs back]
[Nick opens the door revealing the back. He gets spooked and his ears pull back.]
Nick Wilde: Carrots? If your otter was here, he had a very bad day. [Judy goes to
take a look. The back is ripped and claw marks are shown everywhere.]
Judy Hopps: Those are... claw marks. You ever seen anything like this?
Judy Hopps: Oh, wait. Look! [Judy and Nick hop down. Judy looks at the wallet,
seeing Mr. Otterton's picture] This is him. Emmitt Otterton. He was definitely
here. What do you think happened?
[Nick looks around and sees a cup. He picks it up and sees a fancy B imprinted on
it]
Nick Wilde: Well, now, wait a minute. Polar bear fur, rat-pack music, fancy cup?
[Nick shows signs of fear, and starts putting the cup back and organizing the cups
frantically] I know whose car this is, we gotta go!
Nick Wilde: [grabs Judy and starts to head out] Well, it's gonna be an even bigger
crime scene if Mr. Big finds me here, so we're leaving, right now! [Nick opens the
door where two polar bears are waiting outside. Nick recoils and jumps back,
startled] Oh, gah! [he tries to hide his nervousness by looking suave] Raymond! And
is that Kevin? Long time no see! And speaking of "no see", how about you forget you
saw [pointing at himself] me. Huh? For old time's sake? [Raymond and Kevin grab
Judy and Nick by their necks] That's a no.
Judy Hopps: [whispers] What did you do that made Mr. Big so mad at you?
Nick Wilde: [whispers] I, um... I may have sold him a very expensive wool rug that
was made from the fur of a skunk'ssss... butt. [Judy briefly looks at him with a
shocked look on her face, before it turns into one of resignation]
[The limo drives up to a house and a polar bear closes the driveway. The polar
bears take Judy and Nick to a room and no one seems to be there. They pushed them
forward. Another polar bear enters the room.]
[A third polar bear, Koslov, larger than the others, enters the room and walks to
the desk]
Nick Wilde: [whispering through gritted teeth] Stop talking, stop talking, stop
talking!
[Koslov sits with his hands on the desk. He unclenches his hands to reveal a tiny
chair. He turns it around, revealing Mr. Big, who is a shrew]
Nick Wilde: Mr. Big, sir, this is a simple misunder- [Mr. Big grunts and holds out
his hand, showing a ring on his finger] Oh, here! [Nick kisses the ring] Ahh. This
is a simple misunderstanding.
Mr. Big: [grunts; speaking in a Marlon Brando Godfather style voice] You come here
unannounced on the day my daughter is to be married.
Nick Wilde: Well, actually, we were brought here against our will, so... [laughs
nervously; Mr. Big raises an eyebrow slightly] The point is, I-I did not know that
it was your car, and I certainly did not know about your daughter's wedding!
Mr. Big: Hmm. I trusted you, Nicky. I welcomed you into my home. [Nick hangs his
head in shame and guilt] We broke bread together. Grandmama made you a cannoli.
[shows a picture of an elderly shrew] And how did you repay my generosity? With a
rug. Made from the butt of a skunk. [looks down, shaking his head slightly] A skunk
butt rug. You disrespected me. You disrespected my Grandmama, who I buried in that
skunk butt rug. [Koslov crosses his chest in prayer and looks up gloomily.] I told
you never to show your face here again, but here you are, snooping around with
this... [looks at Judy] What are you, a performer? What's with the costume?
Nick Wilde: [interrupts] Mime! She is a mime! This [pushes Judy's shoulder roughly,
glaring and pointing at her] mime cannot speak! You can't speak if you're a mime!
Judy Hopps: No, I am a cop. [Nick sighs and facepalms; Judy shows the Otterton
picture] And I'm on the Emmitt Otterton case, and my evidence puts him in your car!
[gets her face close to Mr. Big] 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. [Nick looks at her, shocked
and facepalms again]
Mr. Big: [grunts] Then I have only one request: [he briefly smiles] say hello to
Grandmama. Ice 'em!
Nick Wilde: Whoa, whoa, whoa! [Judy steps away from the desk in fear and confusion,
just as one of the polar bear guards picks her up by the back of her shirt] I-I-I-
I-I-I didn't see nothing! I'm not saying nothing! [The other one grabs Nick's
scruff and pulls him away, he digs his claws in the desk, leaving claw marks.]
Judy Hopps: Put me down! [the polar bears move a carpet and open a trap door,
revealing an icy pit.]
Nick Wilde: No, no, no, no, no! If you're mad at me about the rug, I've got more
rugs! [Fru Fru enters the room, wearing a wedding dress.]
Fru Fru: Oh, Daddy! [she twirls, holding his hand] It's time for our dance! [she
sees the polar bears holding Judy and Nick above the icy pit and gets upset] Ugh!
What did we say? No icing anyone at my wedding!
Mr. Big: I have to, baby, daddy has to. Ice 'em!
Fru Fru: Wait. Wait! [the polar bears stop again] She's the bunny that saved my
life yesterday! From that giant donut!
Mr. Big: Hm. Put 'em down. [the polar bears close the trap door and put Judy and
Nick down; to Judy] You have done me a great service. I will help you find the
otter. I will take your kindness and pay it forward. [Judy leans forward and Mr.
Big kisses her on both cheeks. Nick looks at them, dumbfounded, as his jaw drops a
little.]
[A female shrew in a hat holds her cringing son as she dances. Mr. Big's polar bear
mafia are shown to be watching everyone, surrounding in a circle the platform on
which the wedding is taking place.]
[A shrew waiter offers Nick a pea-sized slice of cake, which Nick takes.]
Nick Wilde: Hmm... [he looks at the cake, scoffs, and uses a tiny fork to cut part
of the cake and eats it. He nods his head slightly to the side with a smile,
apparently liking it]
Mr. Big: Otterton is my florist. He's like a part of the family. He had something
important he wanted to discuss. That's why I sent that car to pick him up. But he
never arrived.
Mr. Big: Otterton. He went crazy - ripped up the car, scared my driver half to
death [his eyes are visible for a moment and widen as he says this last part], and
disappeared into the night. [he holds his paw out for emphasis]
Mr. Big: Hmm. My child, we may be evolved, but deep down, we are still animals.
[Judy and Nick show looks of concern.]
Mr. Big: [voiceover] You wanna find Otterton, talk to the driver of the car. His
name is Manchas. Lives in the Rainforest District. Only he can tell you more.
[Judy and Nick reach Manchas's house. Judy moves some vines covering the doorbell
and rings it]
Judy Hopps: Mr. Manchas? Judy Hopps, ZPD. We just wanna know what happened to
Emmitt Otterton. [the door opens slowly revealing Manchas, a big black jaguar. Judy
and Nick tensely look at him in suspense.]
Renato Manchas: You should be asking what happened to me! [he shows his right eye
is badly scratched and bruised. Judy and Nick give shocked looks.]
Renato Manchas: He was an animal. [A flashback shows Manchas driving the limo when
he hears snarling and ripping from the back] Down on all fours. [Manchas from
flashback adjusts his rear view mirror and sees Otterton tearing the car seats] He
was a savage!
[Otterton jumps up and attacks Manchas with a snarl, making the car spin out of
control. Manchas screams in pain and jumps out of the car, clutching his eye and
watches with a gasp in shock as Otterton climbs out the car and snarls before
running off as the flashback ends]
Renato Manchas: There was no warning. He just kept yelling about the Night howlers.
Over and over, the Night howlers! [Nick looks at Judy and she shrugs]
Nick Wilde: Oh, so, you know about the Night howlers, too. Good, good, good.
Because the Night howlers are exactly what we are here to talk about, right?
Judy Hopps: Yep. So, uh, you just open the door and tell us what you know, and we
will tell you what we know. Okay?
Renato Manchas: Okay. [Manchas closes the door and starts to unlock it]
Judy Hopps: Mr. Manchas? [Judy opens the door and sees Manchas hunched over on the
floor, twitching and convulsing horribly]
Judy Hopps: Are you... okay? [Manchas stops convulsing and turns to them growling
with his teeth bared, and pupils now slits] Run. Run! [as rain starts to fall, Judy
and Nick race away from the house with Manchas chasing them like a primal predator]
Judy Hopps: I don't know! [Manchas leaps on the bridge, flinging Judy and Nick in
the air, until they reach the end of the bridge] Jump! [Judy and Nick jump as
Manchas leaps towards them. They land on a branch, with Nick grunting in pain.]
Come on! [Judy and Nick run on the branch with Manchas chasing them. They head into
a log and crawl through with Manchas tearing it to get at them] Head down! [talks
on her radio] Officer Hopps to Dispatch! [at the ZPD, Clawhauser shows his phone to
the wolf prisoner, as his microphone is beeping]
Benjamin Clawhauser: Are you familiar with Gazelle? Greatest singer of our
lifetime? Angel with horns? [The wolf prisoner shrugs] Okay, hold on. Keep
watching. Who's that beside her? Who is it?
Gazelle App: Wow, you are one hot dancer, Benjamin Clawhauser.
Benjamin Clawhauser: [laughs] It's me! [The wolf prisoner shoots a quick glance at
the officer escorting him] Did you think it was real? It looks so real! [Slightly
disappointed] It's not, it's just a new app. [sees his microphone beeping] Hold on
a second. [Clawhauser answers his microphone and gets startled by Judy's yelling.
He juggles the microphone for a moment.]
Judy Hopps: CLAWHAUSER! Clawhauser, listen to me, we have a 10-91! Jaguar gone
savage! Vine and Tudjunja!
Nick Wilde: It's Tujunga! [Nick grabs Judy's paw and pulls her. Judy slips and the
radio falls out of her hands]
[Nick runs ahead. Manchas was close to Judy. Judy jumps to a lamp post and spins on
it to escape, but the slippery floor makes her slip over the edge and she grabs on.
Nick gets to the gondola lift and opens the door]
Judy Hopps: Go! [Manchas moves towards him and the gondola leaves]
Nick Wilde: No, no, no, no! [sees Manchas coming towards him] Buddy, one predator
to another... No, no, no, no! [Manchas leaps towards Nick, but is stopped a few
feet away from him. Judy has handcuffed his leg to a post.] Now I can tell you're a
little tense, so I'm just gonna give you a little personal space! [Manchas snarls
and lunges at Nick, knocking him backwards into Judy. They fall off the ledge, Judy
grabs a vine and grabs Nick's paw and they swing back and forth under the bridge.]
Rabbit, whatever you do, do not let go!
Judy Hopps: [seeing a vine cluster nearby] I'm gonna let go!
Nick Wilde: I said do not- Rabbit! [Judy lets go and they're sent flying off and
land on vines. They see Manchas snarling and growling over the sky tram entrance.
Nick glances at Judy in amazement] Carrots, you saved my life!
[The vines break under them and Judy and Nick land on leaves. They both get tangled
up in vines a few feet off the ground. Police sirens are heard and police cars
drive up to them. Chief Bogo steps up to them.]
Judy Hopps: I thought this was just a missing mammal case, but it's way bigger. Mr.
Otterton did not just disappear. I believe he, and this jaguar, they... they went
savage, sir.
Chief Bogo: Savage? This isn't the stone age, Hopps. Animals don't "go savage".
Judy Hopps: I thought so too... 'Till I saw this. [Judy moves the leaves to show
Manchas, but he's no longer there] What? He was right here!
Chief Bogo: Or maybe any aggressive predator looks "savage" to you rabbits. [to the
ZPD] Let's go! [starts to leave; Judy tries to stop him]
Judy Hopps: No. Wait! Sir, I'm not the only one who saw him. [looks at Nick, who is
between the officers] Nick!
Chief Bogo: Two days to find the otter, or you quit. That was the deal. [holds out
his hoof] Badge. [Nick looks at Judy and Chief Bogo, shocked]
Chief Bogo: [looking at him incredulously] What did you say, fox?
Nick Wilde: Sorry, what I said was, "No!" She will not be giving you that badge.
[Chief Bogo grunts irritably] Look, you gave her a... a clown vest, a three-wheeled
joke-mobile, and two days to solve a case you guys haven't cracked in two weeks?
[Chief Bogo looks slightly ashamed] Yeah, it's no wonder she needed to get help
from a fox. None of you guys were gonna help her, were you? [Chief Bogo tries to
speak but Nick cuts him off] Here's the thing, chief. You gave her the 48 hours, so
technically we still have... [counts and holds out his paws] ten left to find our
Mr. Otterton, and that is exactly what we're gonna do. So, if you'll excuse us, we
have a very big lead to follow, and a case to crack. Good day.
[After another gondola pulls up, Nick walks to the sky tram. Judy tries to say
something to Chief Bogo, but decides not to push it and follows Nick. Chief Bogo
watches them in silence. Nick opens the door for Judy.]
[Judy and Nick enter the gondola and it departs. Chief Bogo and the ZPD watch them
and leave. Judy seems amazed for what Nick had done for her. She looks at Nick.]
Nick Wilde: Never let 'em see that they get to you.
Judy Hopps: [sarcastic, rolls her eyes and looks away] Har-har.
Nick Wilde: No, it's true. [Judy looks at him] I think I was eight or maybe nine,
and all I wanted to do was join the Junior Ranger Scouts. [A flashback shows a
young Nick in front of a mirror being fitted in a scout's uniform by his mother.
Young Nick stands straight, trying to look fierce. She tickles him from behind,
causing him to flinch and giggle] So, my mom scraped together enough money to buy
me a brand new uniform, because by God I was gonna fit in, even if I was the only
predator in the troop, the only fox. [Young Nick enters the Junior Ranger Scouts
where he is greeted by the scouts; a zebra, a hippo, a goat, a woodchuck, and an
antelope]
Young Nick Wilde: Yeah! Pretty much born ready. [he comes down the stairs with a
confident smile]
[Young Nick slaps palms with the zebra. The Woodchuck bully snaps his fingers. The
lights go off and the Woodchuck bully shines a flashlight on Young Nick's face.
Young Nick briefly winces at the bright light.]
Woodchuck bully: Okay. Now raise your right paw and deliver the oath.
Young Nick Wilde: [raises his paw with two fingers up] I, Nicholas Wilde, promise
to be brave, loyal, helpful, and trustworthy!
Woodchuck bully: [his smile suddenly fades] Even though you're a fox?
Young Nick Wilde: [confused] What? [The Woodchuck bully turns off the flashlight.
Then Young Nick gets roughly pushed to the floor and is held down by two of the
Ranger Scouts. All of them glare at him.] No, no! What did I do wrong, you guys?!
No, please! Tell me! What did I do wrong?! [Woodchuck bully straps a muzzle on
Young Nick] What did I do?! [shakes his head] No!
Woodchuck bully: [chuckles darkly] If you thought we would ever trust a fox without
a muzzle, you're even dumber than you look! [Young Nick runs out of the building
and goes to the side, terrified. The others laugh cruelly.]
[Young Nick leans against the wall, panting. He struggles with the muzzle before
throwing it away with a grunt. He breaks down in tears and begins to sob quietly,
sitting down and rubbing his eyes.]
Nick Wilde: [narrating] I learned two things that day. [the flashback ends and we
return the present] One: I was never gonna let anyone see that they got to me.
Judy Hopps: Nick, you are so much more than that. [Judy places her paw on Nick's
arm. Nick looks at her and pulls back.]
Nick Wilde: [inhales, trying to change the subject, looking out of the car] Boy,
look at that traffic down there. How about we go up to Chuck in traffic central?
[puts two fingers up to his ear, imitating a reporter] Chuck, how're things looking
on the jam-cams?
Nick Wilde: No, no, no, shh! There are traffic cameras everywhere, all over the
canopy! [Points excitedly to one just above their heads hidden in the fronds of a
fake palm tree.] Whatever happened to the jaguar...
Judy Hopps: Oh-ho, pretty sneaky, slick! [punches him in the arm]
Nick Wilde: Eh, however, if you didn't have access to the system before, I doubt
Chief Buffalo Butt is gonna let you into it now.
Judy Hopps: No... But I have a friend at City Hall who might!
Dawn Bellwether: Uh, sir, if we could just review these very important... Sir!
[almost steps on a mouse, who looks at her in annoyance] Oh, I'm so sorry. Sir!
Leodore Lionheart: Okay! I heard you, Bellwether, just take care of it! [slams
another folder on top of the pile] Please. And clear my afternoon, I'm going out.
Dawn Bellwether: [follows Mayor Lionheart, trying to keep the folders balanced and
gathering the scattering papers] Oh, no, but, sir, you do have a meeting with Herds
and Grazing. Sir, if I can just...! [Mayor Lionheart enters his office and lets the
doors slam right in Bellwether's face, making her spill everything] Oh, mutton
chops. [she picks up the folders until she's approached by Judy and Nick. Judy
helps pick up a folder]
Judy Hopps: Assistant Mayor Bellwether, we need your help. [Judy and Nick are in
Bellwether's office, where Bellwether types on her computer.] We just need to get
into the traffic cam database.
[While they're waiting, Nick touches the top of Bellwether's wool. Then he starts
to feel it.]
Judy Hopps: [swats Nick's hand away] Stop it! [catches the wool back in place just
before Bellwether turns to her]
Judy Hopps: [inhales] Uh, Rainforest District. Vine and Tujunga. [Judy glares at
Nick, who just grins. Bellwether shows camera icons for the map on the computer]
Dawn Bellwether: There! Traffic cams for the whole city. Well, this is so exciting,
actually. I mean, well, you know, I never get to do anything this important.
Dawn Bellwether: Oh, I'm more of a glorified secretary. [her ears briefly droop] I
think Mayor Lionheart just wanted the sheep vote. But he did give me that nice mug!
[She shows a coffee mug with the words "World's Greatest Dad" on it, with Dad
crossed out and over it has "Assistant Mayor".]
Dawn Bellwether: Ah, that's a fun little name he likes to use. I called him
Lionfart once, he did not care for that, let me tell you, it was not a good day for
me... [answers it] Yes, sir?
Dawn Bellwether: Oh, dear. [starts to leave] I'd better go. Let me know what you
find. It was really nice for me to be-
Dawn Bellwether: Ooh! [she briefly struggles to open the door before rushing out of
there]
Nick Wilde: You think when she goes to sleep, she counts herself?
Judy Hopps: [smiling slightly] Oh, shush. [looks through the cams] Okay, traffic
cams... Tujunga, Tujunga... We're in. [They see footage of Manchas chasing them
into the log, then Manchas closing in on Nick, then Judy and Nick swinging off the
vine. A van appears and two timber wolves get out] Who are these guys?
Nick Wilde: Ugh. Timber wolves. Look at these dum-dums. [The timber wolves approach
Manchas and one of them fires a net, trapping the jaguar. Judy gasps. The wolves
carry the captive Manchas.] Bet ya a nickel one of them's gonna howl. [the wolves
howl] And there it is. I mean, what is it with wolves and the howling? It's a...
Judy Hopps: Howlers! Night howlers! That's what Manchas was afraid of, wolves! The
wolves are the Night howlers! If they took Manchas...
Judy Hopps: All we gotta do is find out where they went. [Judy switches through the
footages of the van driving out of the Rainforest District to Tundratown but it
doesn't enter through Tundratown] Wait, where'd they go?
Nick Wilde: [uses the mouse and goes through another footage] You know, if I wanted
to avoid surveillance because I was doing something illegal, which I never have,
[Judy smiles slightly] I would use the maintenance tunnel 6B, which would put them
out... right there. [the van drives out through the tunnel]
Judy Hopps: [impressed] Well look at you, junior detective! You know, I think you'd
actually make a pretty good cop.
Nick Wilde: [jokingly disgusted] Ugh. How dare you. [Judy chuckles; Nick follows
the van through more footage] Acacia Alley, Ficus Underpass, South Canyon.
Judy Hopps: Mm-hmm, they're heading out of town. Where does that road go?
[Judy howls again. Gary howls, followed by Larry, then all of the guards begin to
howl]
[As the wolf guards howl, Judy and Nick run up to the entrance and hide from
sight.]
[They look up and see a pipe. They enter a room through the sewer grate. Judy uses
her phone light to search. Hospital beds have been pushed up against the wall.]
[They see a door. Nick slowly and cautiously approaches the door to open it, slowly
extends a paw, then he steps back and pushes Judy forward.]
Nick Wilde: You know, after you. You're the cop. [annoyed, Judy turns off her
light, opens the door and looks around. a room with an examination bed and three
screens with a CAT scan of a brain is seen through the doorway. Nick peeks out
through Judy's ears and looks around] Okay, all clear. [He slowly moves backward,
Judy's ears spring back into place. She rolls her eyes, sighing, turns on her phone
light again, and looks around the room]
Judy Hopps: All this equipment is brand new. [takes pictures of the equipment]
Nick Wilde: [nervous] Carrots. [points down revealing claw marks on the floor.]
Nick Wilde: Yeah, huge, huge claw marks, I mean what kind of animal...
[A tiger pounces against the glass, startling Nick. Judy and Nick walk through the
passage way seeing other predator mammals in cells, all in a savage state. They
shine the flashlight up into the top left corner of one cell where two pinpricks of
light are visible, and find Manchas in the cell, growling.]
Judy Hopps: Mr. Manchas. [Nick looks at Manchas's file. Judy and Nick walk up to
another cell and see Otterton inside. His glasses are broken, his sweater is gone
and Otterton runs under the bed snarling] It's him! We found our otter. [to Mr.
Otterton, reassuringly] Mr. Otterton, my name is Officer Judy Hopps. Your wife sent
me to find you. We're gonna get you out of here--
[Mr. Otterton starts to come forward, sniffing and eyes black, before he pounces
against the glass, making them jump back in surprise.]
Nick Wilde: Or not! Guess he's in no rush to get home to the missus.
Judy Hopps: Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen... Not including Manchas, it's...
It's fourteen. Chief Bogo handed out fourteen missing mammal files... They're all
here! All the missing mammals are right here!
[They hear a mechanical door opening. As the door opens, Judy and Nick run and hide
in an empty cell. Then, they hear a familiar voice.]
Leodore Lionheart: [vexed] Enough! I don't want excuses, Doctor, I want answers.
[Mayor Lionheart and Dr. Madge Honey Badger enter the room]
Dr. Madge Honey Badger: Mayor Lionheart, please. We're doing everything we can.
Leodore Lionheart: Really? 'Cause I've got a dozen and a half animals here who've
gone off the rails crazy, and you can't tell me why! Now I'd call that awfully far
from "doing everything"!
Dr. Madge Honey Badger: Sir, it may be time to consider their biology. [Judy gives
a confused look and Nick gives a suspicious look]
Leodore Lionheart: [in angered confusion] What? What do you mean "biology"?
Dr. Madge Honey Badger: The only animals going savage are predators. We cannot keep
it a secret; we need to come forward!
Leodore Lionheart: [mock thinking, putting a finger to his lips] Hmm, great idea.
Tell the public. And how do you think they're gonna feel about their mayor...
[gestures to himself before yelling right in Dr. Badger's face] WHO IS A LION?!
I'll be ruined! [Judy and Nick look at each other in worry]
Dr. Madge Honey Badger: Well, what does Chief Bogo say?
Leodore Lionheart: Chief Bogo doesn't know. And we are going to keep it that way.
[Judy's phone rings. Her parents are calling her. She tries to turn it off, but the
ringtone echoes.]
Dr. Madge Honey Badger: Sir, you need to go. Now! Security, sweep the area!
[Mayor Lionheart and Dr. Madge leave the room as the alarm sounds. The door of the
cell Judy and Nick are in closes. They try to open the door until they see wolves
coming to the door.]
Nick Wilde: Great! We're dead! We're dead, that's it. I'm dead, you're dead,
everybody's dead! [leans against a toilet without realizing]
Judy Hopps: [gets a sudden idea] Can you swim? [She puts her phone in a plastic
bag]
[Three wolves enter the room carrying taser guns with laser sights, but one notices
the toilet post-flush and cocks his head to the side with confusion. Judy and Nick
slide down the pipe and fall out, going down the waterfall, Judy in a diving
position, Nick twisting and turning in weird positions while screaming, before
falling into the water below. Nick emerges and looks for Judy.]
Nick Wilde: Carrots? Hopps? [worriedly] Judy?! [Judy emerges, holding her phone in
the bag]
Gazelle App: Wow, you are one hot dancer, Chief Bogo. [Chief Bogo grins, then he
quickly puts his phone away as Clawhauser enters his office]
Chief Bogo: [tries to cover his phone with his hooves] No!
Gazelle App: I'm Gazelle, and you are one hot dancer.
Benjamin Clawhauser: You have the app too? [he's so overjoyed that he puts his
fists up to his own face in excitement] Aww, Chieeeeeef!
Chief Bogo: [embarrassed] Clawhauser! Can't you see I'm working on the missing
mammal cases?!
Benjamin Clawhauser: Oh, oh, oh, yes, of course, about that, sir... Officer Hopps
just called - she found all of them! [Chief Bogo shows a stunned look]
Judy Hopps: Mayor Lionheart, you have the right to remain silent. Anything-
Leodore Lionheart: [interrupting] You don't understand! I was trying to protect the
city!
Leodore Lionheart: No! Listen, we still don't know why this is happening. It could
destroy Zootopia!
Judy Hopps: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be
used against you...
[The other officers bring in Dr. Madge in handcuffs. Other officers look
suspiciously at Nick who is wearing shades, holding a Snarlbucks cup. He shows them
his police badge sticker and walks off, taking a sip of his drink.]
Chief Bogo: Ladies and gentle-mammals, fourteen mammals went missing, and all
fourteen have been found by our newest recruit, who will speak to you in a moment.
Nick Wilde: Okay. Press conference 101. You wanna look smart, answer their question
with your own question and then answer that question. Like this: [pretends to have
a news reporter voice while pretending to hold a microphone] "Excuse me, Officer
Hopps, uh, what can you tell us about the case?" [in a flutey impression of Judy's
voice] "Well, was this a tough case? Yes, yes, it was." [normal voice] You see?
Judy Hopps: You should be up there with me. We did this together.
Judy Hopps: Hm. Funny you should say that. Because, well, I've been thinking... it
would be nice to have a partner. [Judy gives Nick a ZPD application] Here, in case
you need something to write with. [Judy gives Nick her carrot pen. Touched, Nick
takes the pen and smiles.]
Dawn Bellwether: Officer Hopps! It's time. [Judy looks at Nick, crossing her
fingers and walks up to the podium.]
[Judy walks up to the podium and reporters talk all at once, trying to get Judy's
answers.]
Action Gnus 5 beaver: What can you tell us about the animals going savage?
Judy Hopps: Well, the... the animals in question... [looks at Nick, who encourages
her to say something] Are they all different species? Yes, yes they are. [the
reporters take note, Nick approves]
Judy Hopps: Oh, all we know is that they are all members of the predator family.
Judy Hopps: We still don't know. But it may have something to do with biology.
[After looking euphorically at his complete application, Nick takes notice in
confusion]
Judy Hopps: Yes. What I mean is, thousands of years ago, uh, predators survived
through their... aggressive hunting instincts. [Nick, confused at what Judy is
saying, puts the application in his pocket, and looks at the screen behind her] For
whatever reason, they seem to be reverting back to their primitive, savage ways.
[As the reporters murmur in agreement, Nick sees the savaged predators muzzled,
aghast, as his ears pin down. A bear first shows up on the screen, and then comes
Manchas, before a wolf appears. They both have looks of animalistic rage on their
faces, but not the wolf, who looks terrified. Nick is distraught and trembling. He
has a flashback of himself as a kid with a muzzle, revealing his PTSD]
[Back in the present, Nick's expression of horror turns into one of anger.]
Judy Hopps: It is possible, so we must be vigilant, and we at the ZPD are prepared
and are here to protect you.
[Chief Bogo and Bellwether look at each other. Bellwether goes up to Judy]
Dawn Bellwether: Okay, thank you, Officer Hopps. Uh, that's all the time we have.
No more questions. [Bellwether takes Judy away from the reporters]
Judy Hopps: [relieved] Oh, that went so fast. I didn't get a chance to mention you
or say anything about how we-
Nick Wilde: [reaching out a paw to stop her, serious] Oh, I think you said plenty.
Nick Wilde: "Clearly there's a biological component"? "These predators may be...
reverting back to their primitive, savage ways"? Are you serious?
Judy Hopps: I just stated the facts of the case. I mean, it's not like a bunny
could go savage.
Nick Wilde: [disappointed and upset] Right. But a fox could, huh?
Judy Hopps: Ugh. You know what I mean. You're not that kind of predator.
Nick Wilde: The kind that needs to be muzzled?! The kind that makes you think you
need to carry around fox repellent?! [motions to the fox repellent accusingly. Judy
sighs in shame] Yeah, don't think I didn't notice that little item the first time
we met. [he rubs his temples in frustration] So, l-let me ask you a question: Are
you afraid of me? [Judy, with slight fear in her eyes and her nose twitching, says
nothing, clearly taken aback] Do you think I might go nuts? [he raises his arms in
a fake "crazy" way] Do you think I might go "savage"? [Lowers his voice
threateningly] Do you think I might try to... [he lunges forward a bit, raising his
arms and baring his claws] EAT YOU?! [Judy gasps and steps back, revealing that she
has opened the strap, her paw just inches from the repellent. Nick looks at her,
hurt and disgusted] I knew it. [scoffs; Judy looks what she is doing with mental
horror of what she almost did and sighs.] Just when I thought somebody actually
believed in me, huh? [gives Judy back the application and leaves] Probably best if
you don't have a predator as a partner.
[Judy looks at the application that is completely filled out, looks up, sees an
angry Nick storming off, tearing off his sticker, and throwing it down on the
ground. She becomes more horrorstruck]
Judy Hopps: No, Nick! Nick! [She tries to follow him, but is blocked by the
reporters]
Beaver reporter 2: Officer Hopps, were you just threatened by that predator?
Rabbit Reporter: Have any other foxes gone savage? [The microphones are shoved
closer to her, as questions are buzzed all around her, and Judy is taken by
surprise as she loses Nick]
Scene 29: ZNN
[The scenes changes to the Zootopia News Network, ZNN, where Fabienne Growley and
Peter Moosebridge gives the news.]
Fabienne Growley: More bad news in this city gripped by fear. [They show a caribou
being carried on a gurney into an ambulance while three police officers restrain a
muzzled polar bear] A caribou is in critical condition, the victim of a 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 Frantic Pig and a female leopard, trying to separate the argument]
Mrs. Otterton: [sadly] That's not my Emmitt. [Judy somberly looks at her. Mrs.
Otterson looks down and closes her eyes.]
Gazelle: [with deep sadness, narrating before the scene switches back to her] 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 follows Chief Bogo, she sees a sad Clawhauser packing his stuff]
Benjamin 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. Chief
Bogo calls to her by the door]
Chief Bogo: Hopps!
Dawn 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 looks at the cover and gives
thought]
Judy Hopps: I'm not... I'm not a hero. I came here to make the world a better
place, but I think I broke it.
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 Hopps: With all due respect, sir, a good cop is supposed to serve and protect,
help the city, not tear it apart. [Unclips and takes off her badge and puts it on
the desk sadly.] I don't deserve this badge.
Dawn Bellwether: Judy, you've worked so hard to get here. It's what you wanted
since you were a kid. You can't quit.
[Judy trudges slowly out the room as Chief Bogo and Bellwether sadly watch her go.]
Mother rabbit: Thanks. [to her daughter as they walk away] Come on.
[Judy sighs. Bonnie and Stu look at her and come up to her.]
Stu Hopps: Hey there, Jude... Jude the Dude. Remember that one? [Bonnie gives Stu a
look.] How're we doing?
Bonnie Hopps: You are not fine, your ears are droopy. [Cut to Bonnie and Stu's
point of view. Judy's ears are indeed drooping over.]
Judy Hopps: Oh, I tried. And I made life so much worse for so many innocent
predators.
[A van horn sounds and a van pulls up]
Stu Hopps: Oh! Not all of them, though. Speak of the devil, Right on time. [The van
has the words 'Gideon Grey's Real Good Baked Stuff with Fresh Produce from Hopps'
Family Farm' and Gideon Grey, grown up, walks out of his van]
Bonnie Hopps: He's our partner, and we never would have considered it had you not
opened our minds.
Stu Hopps: That's right, I mean Gid's turned into one of the top pastry chefs in
the Tri-Burrows.
Judy Hopps: [amazed] That's... That's really cool, you guys. [Gideon takes out
pastries, but looks up when he hears Judy] Gideon Grey. I'll be darned.
Gideon Grey: Hey, Judy. I'd just like to say, I'm sorry for the way I behaved in my
youth. [stammering] I-I-I had a lot of self-doubt and it manifested itself in the
form of unchecked rage and aggression. [his ears droop] I was a major jerk.
Judy Hopps: Well, I know a thing or two about being a jerk. [She smiles, Gideon
takes out a tray of pies]
Gideon Grey: Anyhow, I-I brought y'all these pies. [Stu sees three shouting bunny
children running towards a line of purple flowers]
Stu Hopps: [wagging a finger] Hey, kids! Don't you run through that Midnicampum
holicithius!
Bunny child 1: [she puts her arms out to stop her two other siblings] Whoa, whoa,
whoa! [The bunny children run elsewhere]
Gideon Grey: [surprised] Well, now there's a four-dollar word, Mr. H, my family
always just called them Night howlers.
Judy Hopps: [she looks at Gideon, stunned] I'm sorry, what did you say?
Stu Hopps: Oh, Gid's talking about those flowers, Judy. I use 'em to keep the bugs
off the produce, but I don't like the little ones going near 'em on account of what
happened to your Uncle Terry.
Bonnie Hopps: Yeah, Terry ate one whole when we were kids and went completely nuts.
Bonnie Hopps: Savage? Well, that's a strong word, but it did hurt like the devil.
Stu Hopps: Well, sure it did. There's a sizable divot in your arm. I'd call that
savage!
Judy Hopps: 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! [runs up to the
family pickup truck] Oh, keys, keys, keys, keys, hurry, come on! [Stu fumbles,
tosses the keys to Judy, who grabs them and gets in the truck] Thank you! I love
you, bye! [Judy turns on the truck and drives back to Zootopia, leaving her parents
and Gideon bewildered.]
Gideon Grey: [still holding the tray of pies] Well, that makes me feel a little bit
better, I thought she was talking in tongues or something.
Finnick: [furiously] Who is it?! [he sees Judy and his cranky expression softens]
Judy Hopps: [desperately] I need to find Nick. [putting her paws together,
desperate] Please. [the scene changes to a bridge, where Judy looks for Nick] Nick?
Nick? [She peers over the bridge and sees Nick in shades, lounging on a chair and
drinking from a cup. Relieved, Judy walks up to him.] Oh, Nick! Night howlers
aren't wolves, they're toxic flowers! I think someone is targeting predators on
purpose and making them go savage. [still upset with her, Nick puts down the drink
and takes off his shades, not even looking at her]
Nick Wilde: [deadpan] Wow. Isn't that interesting? [gets up and walks under the
bridge. Judy, distraught, follows him.]
Judy Hopps: Wait! Uh, wait, listen! I-I know you'll never forgive me, and I don't
blame you - I wouldn't forgive me either. [Nick stops walking, but he doesn't look
at her] 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. [Nick still doesn't look at her] And... And after we're done, you can
hate me, [tearfully] and... and that'll be fine, because I was a horrible friend,
and I hurt you, and you... [crying] and you can walk away, knowing that you were
right all along - I really am just a dumb bunny.
[Everything is silent, except for Judy's quiet sobbing. Then a recorded voice is
heard]
Judy Hopps' voice: [Through carrot pen] I really am just a dumb bunny. [Judy
tearfully looks at Nick. Nick holds up the carrot pen and replays Judy's words] I
really am just a dumb bunny. [Nick turns to Judy, smiling at her]
Nick Wilde: Don't worry, Carrots. I'll let you erase it... in 48 hours. [Judy
smiles and inhales, cries tears of joy, sniffs, wiping away one] All right, get in
here. [Judy walks up to Nick and puts her head on Nick's mid-torso and they hug as
she weeps more. He pats her head and pulls her closer] Okay, oh, you bunnies,
you're so emotional. There we go, deep breath. Are you- are you just trying to
steal the pen? Is that what this is? [Judy, laughing and weeping at the same time,
playfully tries to take the pen from Nick; then Nick suddenly becomes serious] You
are standing on my tail, though. [winces] Off, off-off-off.
Judy Hopps: Know this guy? [shows her phone with a picture of the news of Duke
Weaselton]
Nick Wilde: [tucking the handkerchief in his pants pocket] Uh-huh. I told you, I
know everybody!
Duke Weaselton: Ha-ha! Well, hello! Step right up. Anything you need, I got it. [We
see Zootopian versions of Disney movies such as Tangled, Wreck-it Ralph, Frozen 2,
Big Hero 6, Moana, and Gigantic] All your favorite movies! I've got movies that
haven't even been released yet! [to Dharma, who just declined] Hey, 15% off. 20!
Make me an offer! Come on! [Judy and Nick approach him]
Nick Wilde: Well, well. Look who it is, the Duke of Bootleg.
Duke Weaselton: What's it to you, Wilde? Shouldn't you be melting down a pawpsicle
or something? [recognizes Judy] Hey, if it isn't Flopsy the Copsy.
Judy Hopps: We both know those weren't moldy onions I caught you stealing. What
were you gonna do with those Night howlers, Weselton?
Duke Weaselton: It's Weaselton! Duke Weaselton! And I ain't talking, Rabbit. And
there ain't nothing you can do to make me. [flicks his toothpick at Judy's face.
She and Nick look at each other slyly.]
[The polar bears open the trapdoor and hold Duke over the icy pit. He screams and
struggles to break free. He looks at Judy, Nick, and Mr. Big. Nick is sipping from
a tiny cup.]
Duke Weaselton: You dirty rat! Why are you helping her? She's a cop!
Mr. Big: And the godmother to my future granddaughter. [Fru Fru enters the room;
she is revealed to be pregnant.]
Fru Fru: [patting her belly] I'm gonna name her Judy!
Mr. Big: [chuckles, smiling at his daughter, then turns to the polar bears] Ice
this weasel.
Duke Weaselton: Ahh! All right, all right, please! I'll talk! I'll talk! I stole
them Night howlers so I could sell 'em. They offered me what I couldn't refuse -
money.
Judy Hopps: And to whom did you sell them?
Duke Weaselton: A ram named Doug. We got a drop spot underground. [The scene
changes to Judy and Nick walking to an abandoned subway station] Just watch it;
Doug is the opposite of friendly. He's unfriendly.
[Judy and Nick went up to the train car, which is Doug's lab and discover it is
full of flowers just like the ones from the Hopps' Family Farm.]
Nick Wilde: Yeah, it looks like ol' Doug's cornered the market on Night howlers.
[Doug suddenly enters the room, prompting Judy and Nick to hide under a table.
After putting on a gas mask, Doug takes a pot full of Night howlers and dumps it
all into a vat. He then turns the dial, liquefying the flowers and subsequently
guides the liquids through test tubes and a chemistry set, a small machine injects
blue serum into a paintball-like pellet. Doug's cell phone rings. Judy and Nick
scurry under another table as Doug answers his phone.]
Doug: You got Doug here. What's the mark? Cheetah in Sahara Square, got it. [loads
the serum pellet into a dart gun] You serious? Yeah, I know they're fast, I can hit
'em. Listen, I hit a tiny little otter through the open window of a moving car.
[Judy gasps and sees a photo of Emmitt Otterton on Doug's subway bulletin map. A
flashback shows Emmitt Otterton in the limo, and Doug snipes him through the open
window with a serum pellet. Emmitt feels his neck with a look of fear before
lunging and snarling. Then she looks at a photo of Renato Manchas. Another
flashback shows Manchas unlocking the door, first meeting Judy and Nick when he is
shot by Doug, who is hiding outside the window, with a serum pellet from behind
making him go savage.]
Doug: Yeah, I'll buzz you when it's done. [places the dart gun into a case] Or
you'll see it on the news, you know, whichever comes first. [a knock is heard]
Doug: Alright, Woolter and Jesse are back so I'm leaving now. Out.
[Doug goes over to the car door. Judy suddenly crawls out of her hiding place]
Nick Wilde: [whispered] Where are you going? Where are you going? Get back here!
What are you doing, he's gonna see you! [Judy takes a glance at the train's front
controls where a red light is blinking rhythmically, with a soft clicking noise. An
idea is growing in her mind.] What are you looking at?! Hey! Whatever you're
thinking, stop thinking it! Carrots! Carrots!
Doug: [opens the door] Better have the extra foam this time-
[Without warning, Judy kicks Doug out of the car and locks the door.]
Nick Wilde: What are you doing?! You just trapped us in here!
Judy Hopps: We need to get this evidence to the ZPD!
Nick Wilde: [grabs the case containing Doug's dart gun] Okay, great, here it is.
Got it.
Nick Wilde: Wait, what? [Judy runs to the front of the train and knocks a few
controls on, trying to get the old train to move. The controls die and Judy bangs
it, starting it up again] Great, you're a conductor now, huh? Hey, listen, it would
take a miracle to get this rust bucket going. [With a sudden jerk, the train begins
to move; Nick seems stumped.] Well, hallelujah!
Jesse: [on the phone] We kinda got a situation at the lab... [notices the train is
rolling away] Oh! It just got worse!
[Woolter and Jesse start to run after the train, leaving Doug behind, moping over
his latte.]
[Nick toots the horn twice, as Woolter and Jesse catch up to the train and start
climbing over it.]
Nick Wilde: [happily] Well, I can cross that off the bucket list.
[Judy and Nick's celebration is cut short as they hear a thud from the top of the
train. They turn around nervously to see Woolter break into the train. He tries to
ram his way to the front, but Nick closes the steel door and locks him out. Woolter
tries to open the door. He sees Nick smirking at him and head butts the glass.]
Nick Wilde: I may have to rescind that victory toot-toot. [Another thud from the
top of the train, this time straight over their heads.] Maybe that's just hail?
[Jesse breaks his way in through the small front window. Even though he is stuck,
he immediately tries to grab Judy. Nick goes up to save Judy.]
[Nick tries to stop Jesse, but gets pushed away against the door. Jesse attempts to
grab Judy's shirt front, but the bunny barely manages to squeeze out of range. Nick
feels a bump on the door. Nick sees Woolter has backed all the way to the end of
the car, ready to bust the door down for good. Woolter charges at full speed.]
[Nick quickly opens the door and Woolter charges straight to the front window,
ramming Jesse onto the tracks in front of the train, and getting stuck in the front
window himself. In the charge, Judy gets thrown out of the car, but manages to hold
on to Woolter's horns.]
[With no time left, Jesse leaps to the side of the tunnel, away from the oncoming
train which passes by him. He screams in shock as he sees his belly sheared by the
side of the train. Meanwhile, Woolter manages to toss Judy to the top of the train,
where she narrowly misses being hit by a signal light. The train emerges from the
tunnel and Woolter is trying to punch his way to Nick at the controls. As Judy
tries to get up, she notices a freight train coming straight towards them, on the
same track! She gasps and quickly notices a track junction and a track switch up
ahead. She gets an idea. She pokes her head through the opened vent.]
[Nick grunts as he moves the throttle forward to increase the train's speed.
Woolter notices the oncoming train.]
[With one swift move, Judy leaps down and kicks Woolter off the train and onto the
track switch. The junction shifts just in time and the subway car makes a sudden
turn away from the freight train. However, the high speed of the subway car is
making it tip over.]
Nick Wilde: Oh no, oh no, no, no, too fast! Too fast, hold on!
[Judy and Nick hang on as the subway car slides down the track on its side. Sparks
fly everywhere, sparking a fire in the lab. The two look ahead and see the train is
speeding into the end of the line station, and the wall that they are careening
into.]
[Judy and Nick leap off the car and onto the abandoned subway platform. They look
on shocked as the train slams into the wall in a fiery crash.]
Judy Hopps: [out of breath] Okay, maybe... Maybe some of the evidence survived.
[The train suddenly detonates, sending pieces of debris all over the station. One
of which narrowly misses hitting Judy and Nick as it flies onto the platform before
exploding itself behind them, making them flinch.]
Nick Wilde: [equally stunned] Yeah. Oh, except for this. [Nick holds up the case
containing Doug's dart gun and laughs triumphantly]
Judy Hopps: [overjoyed] Ooh, Nick! Yes! [In her excitement, Judy gives Nick a
somewhat forceful punch to the arm and takes the case.]
Nick Wilde: Ow...
Judy Hopps: Come on! We gotta get to the ZPD. Cut through the Natural History
Museum!
Judy Hopps: Look, there it is! [Then, they are stopped by a voice.]
Dawn Bellwether: Judy! Judy! [They see Bellwether with two Sheep Cops urgently
heading their way.]
Judy Hopps: Mayor Bellwether! [The two run to her.] We found out what's happening.
Someone's darting predators with a serum. That's what's making them go savage!
Dawn Bellwether: I'm so proud of you, Judy. You did just a super job.
Judy Hopps: Thank you, ma'am! [Judy starts to hand over the gun case over to
Bellwether. However, she stops and looks at her in suspicious confusion.] ...How
did you know where to find us?
Dawn Bellwether: I'll go ahead and take that case, now. [Bellwether insistently
reaches over for the case, but Judy holds onto it tighter. Fear starts to overtake
Judy and Nick as they start to slowly walk away from Bellwether.]
Judy Hopps: Uh, you know what, I think Nick and I will just take this to the ZPD.
[They turn around to leave only to find a large, sinister-looking ram blocking
their way. He stares at them menacingly and cracks his neck, ready to attack.]
Judy Hopps & Nick Wilde: Run! [Judy and Nick run back into the museum, with Judy
holding onto the case for dear life.]
[The three rams go after Judy and Nick, who try to lose them through a closed
section of the museum where many exhibit pieces are laying on the floor. Judy trips
on a tusk display, cutting her leg badly. She falls over, grunting in pain.]
Nick Wilde: Carrots! [Nick goes back to Judy.] I got you. Come here. [Nick quickly
carries her over to a nearby wall. Judy sits back wincing over her cut.] Okay, just
relax. [He takes out his handkerchief to wrap Judy's leg. He accidentally spills a
few blueberries on the floor] Whoops! Blueberry?
[Nick eats the blueberry and tends to her leg. They hear Bellwether's voice
suddenly calls out. Her silhouette is shown behind the curtain.]
Judy Hopps: [whispers, giving the case to Nick] Take the case. Get it to Bogo.
Nick Wilde: [whispers] I'm not gonna leave you behind; that's not happening.
[The two gasp as Bellwether and her rams enter the restricted area. Bellwether
tries to get Judy to surrender.]
[The ram pounces on the source of the shadow, only to find a rabbit mannequin for
an exhibit. A sudden clanging is heard and Bellwether sees Judy and Nick trying to
make a break for the exit.
Dawn Bellwether: Over there! [the rams run after the pair]
[Nick carries Judy as they try to make it out as fast as they can, but are slowed
by Judy's injury. The big ram quickly catches up to Judy and Nick, and headbutts
them into one of the museum's exhibit pits, making them lose their hold on the gun
case. The case flies to the floor and Bellwether retrieves it. Judy and Nick
trapped get up. Bellwether chuckles unpleasantly as she goes up to the display
looking down at them.]
Dawn Bellwether: Well, you should have just stayed on the carrot farm, huh? It
really is too bad, I... I did like you.
Dawn Bellwether: [chuckles] Oh, no, of course not, ha ha. [She takes out the dart
gun with an evil grin.] He is!
[Bellwether fires the dart gun and the serum pellet hits Nick on the neck, leaving
a blue stain. He starts to grunt and groan in pain.]
Dawn Bellwether: [On the phone, in a fake panicked tone of voice] Yes, police?!
There's a savage fox in the Natural History Museum! Officer Hopps is down! Please
hurry!
Dawn Bellwether: [chuckles] Oh, but he can't help it, can he? Since preds are just
"biologically predisposed" to be savages.
[Nick starts to growl and Judy looks down to see Nick's eye looking straight at her
menacingly. Judy backs away in fear and starts to run away. Nick goes down on all
fours, bearing his teeth at Judy before he starts chasing her down like a wild fox.
Judy tries to slow Nick down by throwing a deer mannequin at him.]
Dawn Bellwether: [laughs evilly] Gosh, think of the headlines! "Hero Cop Killed by
Savage Fox!"
[Judy backs up to a wall, gasping in fear as Nick tears the dummy to pieces with
his teeth, then stares at her.]
Judy Hopps: So that's it? Prey fears predators and you stay in power?
Dawn Bellwether: Fear always works! And I'll dart every predator in Zootopia to
keep it that way.
[Judy gasps as Nick slowly closes in snarling, growling, and ready to pounce. She
is trapped.]
[Nick finally closes in on the frightened Judy, and lunges at her, biting her neck.
Judy lets out a blood-curdling scream, and Bellwether looks on, pleased at her own
work. Then...]
Judy Hopps: [sticks out her tongue] Bleugh! [Nick lets go of Judy's neck and backs
away, chuckling at her playful acting. She gestures, imitating blood spurting out,
in a similar vein to how she was acting in the play in her childhood.] Blood!
Blood! Blood! [flopping back down] And... death.
Nick Wilde: [getting back to his feet] All right, you know, you're milking it.
[Bellwether gives a stunned look] Besides, I think we got it. [shouts out as he
stands up and Judy and Nick put their arms around each other] I think we got it! We
got it up there! Thank you, yackety-yak! You laid it all out beautifully!
Nick Wilde: Yeah, oh, are, are you looking for the serum? [He pulls the serum
pellet out from his shirt pocket] Well, it's right here. [Puts in back in his
pocket]
Judy Hopps: What you've got in the weapon there? Those are blueberries. From my
family's farm! [Bellwether opens the chamber of the dart gun and sees the ammo has
been replaced with blueberries.]
Nick Wilde: [tastes the blueberry where he's been hit and blows a kiss] Mwah! They
are delicious, you should try some.
Dawn Bellwether: [growls furiously, closing the gun] I framed Lionheart, I can
frame you too! [adjusts her glasses primly] It's my word against yours.
Judy Hopps: Ooh! Actually...[Judy pulls out her carrot pen and plays back
Bellwether's crazed speech.]
Dawn Bellwether's voice: [Through carrot pen] And I'll dart every predator in
Zootopia to keep it that way.
Dawn Bellwether: [her jaw drops; shocked and dumbfounded] Huh? [Judy and Nick smile
triumphantly.]
Fabienne Growley: Former Mayor Dawn Bellwether is behind bars today, guilty of
masterminding the savage attacks that have plagued Zootopia of late. [They show
Bellwether in an orange jumpsuit, in handcuffs, filled with contempt, as she is
escorted through the crowd as photographers take pictures.]
Peter Moosebridge: Her predecessor, Leodore Lionheart, denies any knowledge of her
plot, claiming he was just trying to protect the city. [Lionheart is seen in prison
being interviewed by a porcupine]
Leodore Lionheart: Did I falsely imprison those animals? Well, yes. Yes, I did. It
was a classic "doing the wrong thing for the right reason" kind of a deal.
Fabienne Growley: In related news, doctors say the Night howler antidote is proving
effective in rehabilitating the afflicted predators.
[The scenes changes to a hospital where Emmitt is being cured from his savage
state. He starts to wake up, lying down in bed. Mrs. Otterton, who is reading,
looks at him.]
Mrs. Otterton: Emmitt? Oh, Emmitt! [The Ottertons hug very deeply in relief. Mrs.
Otterton turns to Judy, who is back in her police uniform and her leg is healed.]
Thank you.
[Judy smiles, happy to serve. The scene shows an overshot of Savanna Central.
Zootopia is peaceful again. A voiceover of Judy is heard. Judy is seen walking,
looking at everything is back to normal. She sees a giraffe calf and a tiger cub
playing with a soccer ball. It comes to her; she does a few tricks and kicks it
back to them.]
Judy Hopps: When I was a kid, I thought Zootopia was this perfect place, where
everyone got along and anyone could be anything. Turns out, real life is a little
bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker. Real life is messy. [She
goes to the ZPD and sees Clawhauser, happy and back at his old job. He sets his
Gazelle snow globe and his name tag and sees Officers Higgins and Krumpanski giving
him two boxes of donuts. He smiles. Judy smiles.] We all have limitations, we all
make mistakes, which means - hey, glass half full! - we all have a lot in common.
And the more we try to understand one another, the more exceptional each of us will
be. [The scene changes to a graduation ceremony, the same location where Judy
graduated, and Judy gives a speech] But we have to try. So no matter what type of
animal you are; from the biggest elephant, to our first fox, [We see Nick in full
police uniform, holding a beverage, lifts up his shades, and winks at Judy,
inspired by her words] I implore you - try. Try to make the world a better place.
[Later, Judy opens a box revealing a badge. She places the badge on Nick's uniform.
She salutes Nick, who salutes her back.] Look inside yourself and recognize that
change starts with you. It starts with me. It starts with all of us.
[The police officers cheer and applaud, throwing their hats in the air.]
Chief Bogo: All right, all right, enough. Shut it! [the officers sit] We have some
new recruits with us this morning, including our first fox. [Nick is seen sitting
next to Judy on the same chair she's standing on] Who cares?
Nick Wilde: Ha! You should have your own line of inspirational greeting cards, sir!
Chief Bogo: [takes out his glasses and files] Assignments: Officers Grizzoli,
Fangmeyer, Delgato - Tundratown SWAT. [they stand and leave] Snarlov, Higgins,
Wolfard - undercover. [Snarlov puts on a green cap, Higgins puts on a fake
mustache, and Wolfard puts on a sheep costume and they leave.] Hopps, Wilde...
parking duty. Dismissed. [Judy and Nick look at the chief, shocked. Then Bogo
grins.] Just kidding! [goes back to looking serious] We have reports of a street
racer tearing up Savannah Central. Find him. Shut him down.
Nick Wilde: So, are all rabbits bad drivers, or is it just you?
[Judy looks at him annoyed and playfully slams on the brakes, making Nick lunge
forward and groan as the car screeches to a halt.]
Judy Hopps: [deadpan] Oops. Sorry. [Nick gets up with the pawpsicle stuck to his
eye. He pulls it off his eye with a grunt and chuckles.]
Judy Hopps: [looks back at the road and smirks] Dumb fox!
Nick Wilde: [waves the pawpsicle in her direction, grinning] You know you love me.
Judy Hopps: Do I know that? [looks at Nick and smiles] Yes. Yes, I do.
[The light changes to green and before they can move, a red car with tinted windows
zooms past them. They take notice and smile at each other. Nick puts on his shades
and turns on the siren. Judy hits the pedal and they chase after the car. They
managed to pull over the speeding motorist. The front license plate reads "FST NML
Zootopia". Judy and Nick walk up to the car.]
Judy Hopps: Sir, you were going 115 miles per hour, I hope you have a good
explanation. [The window rolls down revealing Flash, looking at them nervously.
Judy looks at him shocked and Nick removes his shades, surprised and amused.]
Gazelle: Good evening, Zootopia! Come on, everybody, put your paws up!
[Gazelle performs "Try Everything" as the tigers dance beside her. As she dances,
Clawhauser watches, glowing with excitement. Judy and Nick are watching her
perform. Judy shows an excited look and looks at Nick who grins. Animals in the
audience use the phones to record the concert. Flash and Priscilla are seen slow
dancing. Koslov is seen bobbing his head to the music. On his palm, Mr. Big,
sitting in his chair and Fru Fru are dancing together.]
Gazelle: Put your paws in the air, come on! ¡Con las pezuñas arriba, vamos! ¡Eso!
["Try Everything" performed. Yax is seen groove dancing. Chief Bogo and Clawhauser
dance next to each other. The scene shows a prison room where the concert is seen
on TV. A pig officer is beside the TV watching the inmates, including Bellwether,
still filled with contempt. The inmates next to her tap their knees to the beat and
she looks at them annoyed.]
Gazelle: ¡Con las pezuñas arriba! Come on! Shake your tails with me, come on! Yeah!
[The final lines of "Try Everything" are performed. Judy dances to the music. She
looks at Nick, bumps him with her hip to get him to dance, which he does. Judy and
Nick look at each other, smiling. Chief Bogo dances, like he owns the dance floor.
In prison, Bellwether notices one of the inmates touching her wool, she angrily
swats him away and continues to brood. Clawhauser dances around. Bonnie and Stu are
dancing the do-si-do with the Hopps family cheering. Yax, laid-back, enjoys
himself. A pig lady next to him is disgusted by his smell. He chuckles. In prison,
Lionheart reads Fancy Cat Magazine and talking to his cellmate. Mr. and Mrs.
Otterton are dancing together. Emmitt twirls his wife and dips her and they smile.
Duke is dancing until he sees money from an elephant's back pocket. He dances up to
him, grabs the money, and quietly dances away. Gazelle continues singing as the
tigers dance around her. Gazelle and the tigers do a final pose as the song ends.
Everyone in Zootopia applauds as fireworks light up the night sky.]
The End
