Bellwether
- Bellwether: [On her guilt] It's my word against yours
- Judy Hopps: Oooh, actually,
- [holds up her carrot recorder pen, revealing Bellwether's confession]
- Judy Hopps: "... and I'll dart every predator in Zootopia to keep it that way!" it's your word against yours.
- Bellwether: Huh?
- Judy Hopps: It's called a hustle, sweetheart. Boom.
- [flashes a triumphant grin as Chief Bogo shows up with handcuffs behind Bellwether]
- Bellwether: [Cornering Judy and Nick in a pit-like exhibit in the Natural History Museum] Well, you should've just stayed on the carrot farm, huh. It really is too bad, I... I did like you!
- Judy Hopps: What're you going to do, kill me?
- Bellwether: Oh ho ho ho, no, of course not.
- [Aims the Night Howler gun at Nick]
- Bellwether: He is!
- Judy Hopps: [a pellet hits Nick] No! Oh, Nick!
- Bellwether: [calling the ZPD] Yes, police! There's a savage fox in the National History Museum! Officer Hopps is down! Please hurry!
- Judy Hopps: No! Nick! Don't do this! Fight it!
- Bellwether: Oh, but, he can't help it! Can he? Since preds are just biologically predisposed to be savages.
- [Nick growls and chases Judy]
- Bellwether: Gosh, think of the headline: "Hero cop killed by savage fox!"
- Judy Hopps: So that's it. Prey fears predator and you stay in power?
- Bellwether: Yeah. Pretty much.
- Judy Hopps: It won't work!
- Bellwether: Fear always works, and I'll dart every predator in Zootopia, to keep it that way.
- Bellwether: There! Traffic cams for the whole city. Well this is so exciting, actually. I mean, you know, I never get to do anything this important.
- Judy Hopps: But you're the assistant mayor of Zootopia.
- Bellwether: Oh, I'm more of a glorified secretary. I think Mayor Lionheart just wanted the sheep vote. But he did give me that nice mug.
- [the mug, which has pens and pencils in it, says "World's Greatest Dad", but the word Dad is crossed out with "Assistant Mayor" written above it]
- Bellwether: Feels good to be appreciated.
- Bellwether: I framed Lionheart, i can frame you too. It's my word against yours.
- Judy Hopps: Oh. Actually...
- Bellwether: [Judy pulls out her pen recorder and reveals that she recorded Bellwether's confession] "... and I'll dart every predator in Zootopia to keep it that way!"
- Judy Hopps: It's *your* word against yours.
- Bellwether: Huh?
- Judy Hopps: [in a victorious tone] It's called a hustle, sweetheart. Boom.
- [the rest of the ZPD arrive to arrest Bellwether and her henchmen]
- Bellwether: [steps up to the podium and concludes the press conference] Okay, thank you, Officer Hopps, uh, that's all the time that we have. No more questions.
- Judy Hopps: Was I okay?
- Bellwether: [reassuringly] Oh, you did fine.
- Judy Hopps: [walks over to Nick] Oh, that went so fast. I didn't get a chance to mention you or say anything about how we...
- Nick Wilde: [apprehensively bitter] Oh, I think you said plenty.
- Judy Hopps: What do you mean?
- Nick Wilde: [quoting Judy] "Clearly there's a biological component"? "These predators may be reverting back to their primitive, savage ways"? Are you serious?
- Judy Hopps: With all due respect, sir., a good cop... is supposed to serve and protect, help the city, not tear it apart.
- Judy Hopps: [Judy sighs and turns over her badge in resignation] I don't deserve this badge.
- Chief Bogo: Hopps.
- 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 Hopps: Thank you for the opportunity.
- [Judy walks out of the office, leaving her badge on the desk]
- Mayor Lionheart: Smellweather!
- Bellwether: [to Nick and Judy] Agh. That's a fun little name he likes to use. I called him Lion-fart once. He did not care for that, let me tell you. It was not a good day for me. Yes, sir?
- Mayor Lionheart: I thought you were going to cancel my afternoon!
- Bellwether: Oh, dear. I'd better go. Let me know what you find. It was really nice for me to be...
- Mayor Lionheart: While we're young, Smellweather!
- Nick Wilde: I think we got it. We got it up there, thank you, yakkety-yak! You laid it all out beautifully.
- Bellwether: [confused] What?
- Nick Wilde: Yeah. Oh, are you looking for the serum?
- [taking the pellet out of his pocket]
- Nick Wilde: Well, it's right here.
- Judy Hopps: What have you got in the weapon there? Those are blueberries. From my family's farm.
- Nick Wilde: [kissing the digits of his paw in appreciation] Mwah. They are delicious. You should try some.
- Mrs. Otterton: There's got to be somebody to find my Emmitt.
- Chief Bogo: Mrs. Otterton...
- Judy Hopps: I will find him.
- Mrs. Otterton: Oh! Thank you.
- [hugging her]
- Mrs. Otterton: Bless you. Bless you, little bunny.
- [Chief Bogo growls]
- Mrs. Otterton: Take this. Find my Emmitt. Bring him home to me and my babies, please.
- Chief Bogo: [clearing his throat] Mrs. Otterton, please wait out here.
- Mrs. Otterton: Of course. Oh, thank you both so much.
- Chief Bogo: One second.
- [shutting the door]
- Chief Bogo: You're fired.
- Judy Hopps: What? Why?
- 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 who will *not* be taking the case!
- Bellwether: [with Mrs. Otterton outside as the door opens] I just heard Officer Hopps is taking the case.
- Judy Hopps: Oh, Nick. No.
- [growling, he advances on her]
- Bellwether: [with an evil snicker] Bye-bye, bunny.
- Judy Hopps: [as he bites her neck, she lets out shrieking scream] Bleh. Blood! Blood!
- [dramatically overacting]
- Judy Hopps: Blood and death.
- Nick Wilde: All right, you know what? You're milking it.
