Scene 7: The Bullpen

[The scene shows Zootopia Police Department. Inside, Officer Fangmeyer, a tiger, takes in a
wolf with a muzzle.]

Muzzled wolf: Come on! He bared his teeth first!

[Officer Benjamin Clawhauser, an obese cheetah, is seen behind the radio dispatcher's
desk, eating a bowl of Lucky Chomps Cereal.]

Benjamin Clawhauser: Mm-mm-mmm! [Judy walks up to the desk.]

Judy Hopps: Excuse me!

Benjamin Clawhauser: [looking around in surprise] Hm?

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...

Benjamin Clawhauser: [Gasps] I am so sorry! [pointing to himself] Me, Benjamin

Clawhauser, the guy everyone thinks is just a flabby, donut-loving cop stereotyping you.
Aw...

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: Um... A what?

Judy Hopps: In your neck, the fold... The - the, there's...

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.]

Scene 8: Enter Nick Wilde

[Judy puts on her meter maid outfit, adjusts her mirror, puts on her seatbelt, turns on the car,
and hits the pedal. The car moves as slow as possible. She goes around giving tickets to
cars that have expired parking spots. Later, her ears pick up a beeping sound. A parking
meter has expired. She grins, goes to the car, types up a ticket and puts it on the windshield.
She hears another beep. She puts another ticket on another car. Her ears pick up another
beep and puts another ticket on another car. She approaches a tall giraffe car. She grins,
goes to her cart, leaps off of it onto a street sign, which she leaps from, lands on the car and
places a ticket on its windshield. She hears parking meters expiring and puts tickets on cars
as quick as possible. A mouse goes to his car with a parking ticket on it; it drives away and
the mouse panicked goes after it. The parking meters go off one by one, Judy continues
giving tickets to car and the number on her pad increases as the tickets are being printed
out. Later, Judy looks at the clock which points to 12:00 and looks at the ticket pad which
shows 200.]

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 skinny fox, dodging a Fresh Doe truck
being driven by a ram named Doug.]

Doug: Hey, watch where you're goin', fox! [Nick looks back at Doug, lifts his arms with an
angry look; Doug drives away]

[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 very small 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, wants to be one when he grows up.
[Finnick puts on an elephant mask and trumpets like an elephant] Is that adorable?

Judy Hopps: Aww...

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!

[Finnick trumpets sadly; Judy steps forward]

Judy Hopps: Hello? Excuse me?

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.]

Jerry Jumbeaux, Jr.: What are you talkin' about?

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?

Nick Wilde: A jumbo pop. Please.

Judy Hopps: A jumbo pop.

[Finnick toots]

Jerry Jumbeaux, Jr.: [sighs in annoyance] Fifteen dollars.

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.]

Judy Hopps: Keep the change.

[Later, Judy, Nick, and Finnick walk outside the parlor; Nick holds the jumbo pop that is
nearly as big as himself and Judy holds Finnick's hand as they walk out.]

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...

Judy Hopps: [tips her hat] Hopps. Mr...

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!
[Finnick toots twice as Nick and Finnick leave]

Judy Hopps: Toot-toot! [laughs]

Nick Wilde: Bye now! [Spins around and walks down the street with Finnick]

Judy Hopps: Goodbye! [cheerfully heads off on her way]

[Judy is seen in Sahara Square where she is continuing her meter maid job. She prints out
another ticket and puts in on the windshield of a red car. She wipes her brow. Through the
reflection, she sees Finnick.]

Judy Hopps: Oh! Hey, little toot-toot...

[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.]

Nick Wilde: Pawpsicles! Get your pawpsicles.

[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!

Mouse foreman: What's with the color?

Nick Wilde: The color? Uhh... It's red wood.

[Judy watches from behind the grass and growls angrily, knowing she'd been conned.]
