Zootopia 2 (2025) quotes

View Quote Gary: We just didn't know where her home was buried, [finishes drawing a map] until now.
[Reveals the reptile neighborhood, Reptile Ravine, is located in...]
Pawbert: My family's land? But... under all that... snow, how are we gonna find it?
Judy: [spots a clock tower on Gary's drawing map] Wait. Clocktower... her neighborhood... the reptile neighborhood had a clocktower. [shows them an old photo she saved from the Honeymoon Lodge] I-It lights up like a beacon. If it wasn't fully buried, maybe we could see it; follow it to her home.
Pawbert: Except my great-grandfather turned off the power.
Judy: But we have the plans that show us how to turn it back on! Ooh, ooh! [looks in the journal] The power switch to her whole neighborhood was in... the original control room.
Gary: All right! And where is that?
Judy: Inside the oldest wall of the city: The Desert-Tundratown weather wall. We get inside, turn on that switch, light the clock tower, we find her house.
Pawbert: We find her patent.
Gary: And my family is finally coming home! We will succeed, Judy Hopps! [happily coils Judy and Pawbert] We shall succeed!

View Quote Judy: How did you become partners?
Gary: Oh, when I found out the journal was gonna be on display at the Gala, I sent his family an anonymous letter asking to see it. Luckily, they make Pawbert work in the mailroom, so he read it first.
Pawbert: I got him smuggled in from overseas.
Gary: Seven days in a crate. But if I fix things for my family, it'll be worth it. Then we'll fix things for your partner too.

View Quote Judy: Okay, we have to set another meeting with the chief. Promise we’ll be better. [opens her locker, finding it filled with insults about the pursuit, courtesy of the Zebros, and glares at them in annoyance]
Zebros: [arrogantly] (In your face, loser.) Zebros. [high-hoof each other in terrible pride]
Judy: [scoffs as she tries to close her locker] You talk back less. Maybe not at all.
Nick: Yeah, or we can go with my playbook and we just lay low. [gestures to a mouse to free the carrot soda can from the vending machine]
Judy: [scoffs] We cannot prove ourselves if we are stuck in that room.
Nick: And if we complain to Chief Beef, he'll just make us stay longer. Play it smart, stay off the radar, and don't let it get to you, 'kay? [grabs the giant can of carrot soda] 'Cause we're the dream... team. [accidentally throws the soda can through the wall, much to Judy's shock] Sorry, Paul.
[Paul growls in frustration as the soda can sprays him away, making Judy wince]

View Quote Milton: Brian! [to Cattrick; shoves him] Go!
Mayor Winddancer: You say justice is dead? [punches Cattrick and Kitty to the floor] I say... NEIIIIIGH! [jump-kicks Milton in the face]

View Quote Milton: My grandpa had a dream to build a city for all animals,...
Judy: [hears clamor across the room, seeing Chief Bogo dragging Nick out of the gala] Nick...?
[Before Judy could react, Nick kicks the spotlight to the chandelier, blinding the robed figure, which Judy looks up to notice]
Milton: ...to truly be better together... [the robed figure falls off the chandelier and lands on the stage, startling him] Ugh!
[Chief Bogo's attention turns to the guests watching the robed figure, revealing himself to be a blue pit viper. Judy, Nick, and Chief Bogo watch in shock as the viper named Gary De'Snake reveals himself in front of everyone at the Zootennial Gala]
Mayor Winddancer: THERE'S A SNAKE!!!!!
[The Zootopians start running and screaming with the Zebros escorting Winddancer to safety]
Zebros: Snake! Snake! Snake!
Gene Zebraxton: [as he rudely shoves one of Gazelle's tiger backup dancers] Go, Bro! Go!
Gazelle: [angered] I will remember you, Zebra!
[Gary grabs Milton and slithers away with him and the contained journal. Judy watches the snake carrying both Milton and the journal, while the guests are running in fear, Judy frees her own ears as she chases Gary]

View Quote Nibbles: Conversing with these beautiful sea creatures is like talkin' to anyone a little different. Just takes open and respectful communication. [throws a large fish in Judy and Nick's arms and rings a bell; a large walrus named Russ emerges from the water with a plunger] Hey, bub.
Russ: Hey, bub.
Nibbles: Hey, bub.
Russ: Hey, bub.
Nibbles: Hey, bubba, hey.
Russ: Hey, bub, hey.
Nibbles: Bub-bub-bub-bub-bub-bub.
Russ: Bub-bub-bub-bub-bub-bub.
Nibbles: Hey, bub. [mimics a record scratching]
[Nick and Judy exchange confused glances]
Russ: Hey, pfft, bub-bub.
Nibbles: Hey, bub, pfft, bubby-bub.
Russ: Hey, bub, pfft! Hey, bub. Hey-ho!
Nibbles: Hey, bub-bub.
Russ: Hey, bub.
Nibbles: Seen Jesús?
Russ: Yup. [grabs the fish with his plunger, eats it, and dives back into the water, soaking Nick]
Nick: [removes his soaked hat] And now, we leave town.

View Quote Nick: [hears his phone ring, notices it's Judy calling, and answers his phone] Well, well. You miss me already, huh? [mutes his TV]
Judy: [phone call voice-over] The stolen van with the snake skin is from the same catering company that’s working the gala.
Nick: Mm-hm. This is you studying your partner book?
Judy: [phone call voice-over] Listen to me. Venomous snakes tried to steal the Lynxley Journal before. What if they’re back in town to steal it again?
Nick: [hears a door knock; walks to the door] No snake has set foot in Zootopia in forever, okay? Even if they had feet. [chuckles] Look, we’re already in the hot seat, Carrots, and the pizza’s here. Gotta go-- [discovers Judy at his door and drops his phone in shock]
Judy: If there’s a fanging at the Gala and we do nothing to stop it, then we are not doing our jobs-- [sees his messy apartment] Yikes... No wonder you never invite me over. [takes a picture with her phone]
Nick: [hides his apartment from Judy] Foxes are solitary. And look, [lifts his tail] we go and you’re wrong, Chief Beef will split us up.
Judy: And if we don’t get a win soon and prove we’re great partners, the chief will split us up anyway. Check the perimeter, snoop a little. We find nothing? We bail. But if I’m right, no one will question whether you and I belong together again. We need this.

View Quote Nick: Hey, uh, [approaches and hands Judy a small poorly wrapped gift] I got you somethin'.
[Judy opens it to find the carrot pen, which Nick has fixed. She is touched.]
Nick: Love you, partner. But I am still me, so I'm only saying it once a decade.
[Judy smiles at Nick, and rewinds the carrot pen.]
Nick's voice: [through the carrot pen] Love you, partner.
[They look at each other in surprise.]
Nick: Oh, I'm gonna need that back.
Judy: [holding the pen away from Nick] I'll give it back to you. After our next case.
Nick: There's gonna be another case, huh?
Judy: Of course. Because when you broke out of jail, you also released 200 highly dangerous prisoners.
Nick: [shrugs] Worth it. Any idea where you wanna start?
[Judy grins at him.]

View Quote Nick: They aren't just gonna arrest us, the Lynxleys want us dead!
Judy: [hurries to grab evidence] We need it to solve the case.
Nick: [desperately] Judy, just—
Judy: [not listening to him] We have to solve the case, Nick.
Nick: [fed-up] I don't care about the case! [Judy becomes shocked to hear what he said; stutters and sighs] Judy, it's not worth dying for.
Judy: [sternly turns to him] The world will never be a better place if no one is brave enough to do the right thing.
Nick: The world is what it is, Carrots. And-and sometimes, being a hero, it just... doesn't make a difference.
Judy: [pauses, then sighs] I think, uh... [Nick looks at her sympathetically] I think... Maybe... Maybe we are different.
[Nick is horrified to hear that]

View Quote Peter Moosebridge: New mayor and former actor, Brian Winddancer, hailed the two during celebrations for the 100th anniversary of the invention of Zootopia’s weather walls, that allowed all environments and all animals to co-exist in one city.
[At Zootopia's City Hall, the new mayor, Winddancer gives a speech in-front of the Zootopian crowds.]
Mayor Winddancer: This is our Zootennial! And if a lowly country bunny and a shifty, likely criminal fox can ignore their vast, vast differences and solve bias and stereotype forever, then maybe we can all embrace our differences and be better Zoogether.
[As cameras flash, Judy and Nick find themselves in the light, Nick looks the littlest bit uncomfortable, while Judy looks proud and ready to seize the day.]
Judy: [adjusts Nick’s tie, tosses off his sunglasses, and fixes his posture.] We’re gonna crack a new case, make the world a better place, and be the greatest partners of all time! [chuckles as she playfully punches Nick] I mean, we’re not that different. [a camera flashes at their poses]

View Quote [After Gary saved Judy and Nick from falling to their deaths, they look at each-other worriedly before rushing to hug each-other in relief and both start weeping.]
Judy: I was trying to get you...
Nick: He told me that you... That you were...
Judy: And I saw you...
[Nick and Judy stop hugging and stare at each-other with watery eyes, much to Gary's awkwardness.]
Gary: [blushing] I'll... help your friend. [slithers off to help Nibbles]
Nick: [hesitantly] Okay. I- I don't- I don't care that we're different... you know? I- What I care about… is you. I care about you. Okay? And I didn’t say it. I should've said it, but I didn't... because... [shrugs] Uh... Well... [chuckles nervously] 'cause I am an emotionally insecure source of your discomfort who's not good at expressing his feelings. Probably because I've been on my own my whole life. It's not an excuse; It's just... [awkwardly scratches his neck] it's why instead of telling you that you're the best thing that ever happened to me, [Judy smiles] I-I make jokes about your ears and-and I tell you that you try too hard, when, you know, the truth is: I just don't want you... to get hurt because… because no one else in the world matters more to me than you do.
Judy: [holding back her tears; talking fast] I… I do try too hard because deep down I'm afraid I am what everyone thinks I am, and I suppress my discomfort because I'm worried it makes me look weak and I wanna be strong, and I think I'm failing all the time and I only take what you say personally because you're the only one in my life who ever believed in me, even when I don't even believe in myself. And I should have told you that… [pouts] No one else in the world matters to me more than you do, either...
Nick: [pauses; almost entranced] I have unresolved childhood trauma that I refuse to discuss because being vulnerable scares me.
Judy: I make dangerous choices because I have an unhealthy bunny hero complex.
Nick: [teary] And I didn’t join the ZPD because I wanted to be a cop; I joined because I always wanted to be part of a pack… and the thought of losing you scares me because… [whispering softly] because you’re my pack.
Judy: [sobbing] I should never have left you. And I do need a herd of therapy animals, and I should've told you that you're the only partner I would ever want because… you're my fluffle.
Nick: [perplexed] Hm... Um...?
Judy: [crying] That's a bunch of rabbits!
[Nick and Judy giggle as the former smiles at her warmly and the latter wipes her tears away.]
Nibbles: [after she got healed; arrives with Gary beside her] Whoo! Now that is what we call an overshare. I’m alive, by the way. I made it.

View Quote [After Judy and Nick escape from the Lynxley Manor, Milton questions Mayor Winddancer. Cattrick and Kitty face him as well, standing on either side of Milton]
Mayor Winddancer: Uh, we, uh... We're gonna take that snake down.
Milton: [angrily] And the fox and that rabbit! Do you know how many mayors they've already destroyed?
Mayor Winddancer: [thinks while tapping the floor two times with his back hoof] 1, 2... I got up to 2.
Milton: Would you like to be 3?! [Mayor Winddancer shakes his head "no"] I want them gone!
Mayor Winddancer: But aren't there... laws?
Milton: [coming closer to Winddancer] I will say this once, Brian. You will retrieve the journal and bury them. Or maybe I chose the wrong mayor. Did I choose the wrong mayor?
Mayor Winddancer: [gulps]

View Quote [After Judy, Gary, and Pawbert flipped the switch of the clock tower in the old control room, they return to see if it worked.]
Pawbert: Can you see it? Did we turn on the clock tower?
Judy: [looks around and gasps] There. [spots the clock tower's light] It's there!
Pawbert: [gasps in delight] We did it! We can find the original patent.
Judy: [sees Nick struggling to open the weather wall door; confused] Nick...? The door... It's locked. [runs to the monitors] Wait... How did it lock?
[Outside the weather wall, Nick starts panicking as the walls begin to heat up.]
Nick: [trying to barge in] Nibbles, open it! Nibbles!
[In the control room, Judy watches worriedly as Nibbles opens the access door, allowing Nick to enter, then slams the door shut before the flames scorch them.]
Nibbles: Dang door stuck on me...
[Back in the control room, Judy sees Nibbles helping Nick back up.]
Judy: [sighs in relief, then chuckles embarrassedly] Sorry. Last case, there was kind of a... twist.
Pawbert: I know. [suddenly injects Judy in the neck with snake venom, paralyzing her] Oh my gosh. I really... Oh, my heart is pounding. [chuckles] I thought you knew. I thought you knew.
Gary: [feeling betrayed] No! [tries to attack Pawbert, but...]
Pawbert: [grabs him by the throat] Sorry, partner. [throws Gary outside in the snow] Hate to leave you out in the cold... But... I'm gonna... [sighs] Please don't be mad at me, but... I mean, you get it. We've always been on the same page. Me and you. Underdogs, right? You gotta prove you're as good as everyone else, that you belong. I know, it's messed up, but... [reloads his venom injector] this is my chance. I have to take it. 'Cause when I get to his great-grandma's home, and I burn the original patent, I'll finally be something in my family. And I'll finally belong, too.
Nick: [on the monitor] Judy?
Pawbert: [approaches the monitor] Ruh-roh...
Nick: [on the monitor] Carrots?
Pawbert: [sees Nick looking for Judy; sighs] No loose ends.
[Judy and Gary watch in horror as Pawbert steals the latter's fanny bag.]
Pawbert: Bye, partner. Bye, Judy Hopps. [walks past her]
Judy: [grabs his leg; desperately] Pawbert, please... You can be different than your family...
Pawbert: [pauses; coldly] I don't wanna be different. [slams the door shut and locks the control room]
Judy: [worried] Nick...

View Quote [Antony Snootley, the customs inspector, realizing Judy and Nick are cops.]
Nick: [chuckles]
Finnick: [spits out his pacifier and looks up at him] Toot toot.
Antony Snootley: [gasps in panic] It's the FUZZ! [pushes Nick aside and runs]
Judy: Stop! Stop in the name of the law!
Antony Snootley: Everybody run! [drives off in the catering van]
Nick: Well, can't win 'em all.
[Behind Nick and Judy, the frantic pig in a hog rod fiercely honks at them.]
Frantic Pig: Get outta the road, you dumb bunny!
Judy: [scoffs] Agree to disagree.

View Quote [As Judy and Nick are in Chief Bogo's office, the latter groans, as he and the other ZPD officers are displeased with them ruining Ebenezer Lynxley's statue.]
Judy: Sir, today may not have been ideal, but the anteater was captured...
Chief Bogo: By the Zebros!
Zebros: ZEBROS!! [both high-five]
Chief Bogo: SHUT IT!!!
Zebros: Zebros...
Judy: It was us. But more importantly, I believe that we have made a significant discovery. [opens a case file] The stolen van contained a smuggled crate from overseas, pamphlets for the Zootennial, and some type of reptile skin. I've already sent samples for testing. And...
Chief Bogo: [slams his hoof down on the case file] What needs testing is you! You two tore up half the city! Because of you, we had to call in Jumbo Unit [turns on the TV to show a news report of Zeke, a dik-dik struggling in a tuba] to remove a DIK-DIK FROM A TUBA!!!!
Otter: [on TV] You're almost out! You're gonna be--
Zeke: [on TV; panicked] Please no, please NO...!
[An elephant officer picks up the tuba and blows through it with his trunk, launching Zeke into the air.]
Otter: [on TV] Who's catching him?!
Nick: Sorry. Could you show me that clip again? [puts on his pig sunglasses] Wasn't wearing my glasses. [Judy glares at him]
Chief Bogo: Did you or did you not disobey a direct order to stand down?!
Judy: Sir, we were in pursuit, and Article 6, Paragraph B states if the lead officers think that--
Hoggbottom: You are not lead officers! You're one-hit wonders who should go back to meter-maiding and slinging pawpsicles!
Nick: If I may, I think someone's just jealous that we got to drive the Squealmobile. [Fern snorts in shock] Or... maybe you thought it was your mama!
[Fern squeals in anger.]
Chief Bogo: ENOUGH!!! Everybody, [in high-pitched voice] out!
[The ZPD officers (except Judy and Nick) leave Bogo's office.]
Chief Bogo: [sighs; to Judy] Officer Hopps, despite my best efforts to avoid it, I like you. But this need to... overdo it made both of you a headline today. [Judy's ears droop upon her hearing this] And it reflects badly on me, on the department, and, frankly, on any bunny hoping to follow in your footsteps. Not every case is going to save the world.
[Judy comtemplates about what Chief Bogo said, until...]
Nick: [interrupts] Knock, knock. [standing next to a waste bin] Hi. You know, this kinda... this sounds a lot like a... "just a you guys" conversation, so what I'm gonna do is: I'm gonna go ahead and... [prepares to leave]
Chief Bogo: [rolls his eyes] Is there a reason why you don't take anything seriously?
Nick: Jokes are a classic defensive mechanism for someone with a traumatic childhood.
Chief Bogo: [glares at Nick] Would you like a traumatic adulthood?
Nick: [opens his mouth to retort before removing his glasses and backing away] I would not.
Chief Bogo: I allowed you to work together because you did this city a great service, but today, you messed it all up. And now, some are questioning whether you should have been partners in the first place.
Judy: But, sir...
Chief Bogo: So, instead of chasing imaginary reptiles, I am pulling you from the field...
Judy: [shocked] What?! [Nick frowns]
Chief Bogo: ...and giving you a new assignment, reserved for special teams like yourselves. Fail at this, and I will have no choice but to split you up. [opens the door] There will be no more Hopps and Wilde. [Judy and Nick exchange worried glances] But... if you're as good as you think you are, [gives Nick the flyer] this is your moment to shine. [shuts the door]
