If you wanna talk to a reptile, I am your gal.
Nibbles Maplestick
Well, when Zootopia was founded, this whole neighborhood got cut off from the rest of the town. Kinda on our own here. Yeah, it's probably why reptiles like it; They can just do their thing. Plus, it's the only place in town where you can get away with wearing a shirt and no pants.
Nibbles Maplestick
Hey, Whiskers! You're done hurting my city! [the Lynxleys brandish their claws at her and Gary] Uh-oh. Tides have turned. [to Mayor Winddancer] Hey! Brian Winddancer! You wanna be a hero, or just play one on TV?
Nibbles Maplestick
Breathe it in!
Nibbles Maplestick
Zootopia ain't just a "mammal city". It has a secret tiny reptile population.
Nibbles Maplestick
My only question is: is he gonna be wearing half a pants... or one long sock?
Nibbles Maplestick
One long sock.
Nibbles Maplestick
It takes two to tango, but a threesome to be some!
Nibbles Maplestick
It takes a threesome to be some, but a fourway to bust your doorway!
Nick
No, no, Trudy Cabbagepatch; Rick Wilde says "no".
Nibbles
Oh, yeah! [drives by Nick and Judy] If Hopps and Wilde are on the lam, subtle sleuthin' 'tis my jam! [kicks her car's passenger door open] Woo! [dusts off the seats] Mind the splinters. [Judy tries to pull Nick toward the car as he resists] Oh, you called the right beaver. If you wanna talk to a reptile, I am your gal. Also, if you need to talk to a jackalope, which are real, Mom!
Nick
Excuse us; Team meeting. [to Judy] Vetoing the beave, new vote. [raises his paw and tail] All in favor of staying alive and laying low 'til this blows over-ville? [chuckles] I mean...
Judy
Hopps and Wilde do not bail on a case.
Nick
But she's crazy; Probably lead poisoning from eating too many pencils! [sees Nibbles chewing on two pencils and spitting out a splinter]
Judy
Do you know a reptile who can tell us the hidden secret in here or why lynxes framed the snakes? [Nick tries to answer, but sighs in defeat] Twenty-four hours, sunrise tomorrow. If we strike out, then we go into hiding and Judy Cabbagepatch it is. [extends her paw to Nick]
Nick
It's Trudy Cabbagepatch and the safe word is "coconut". [steps in the car alongside Judy]
Nibbles
In the darkness of a dank underpass, they stepped into the vehicle, not realizing their lives were about to change.
Judy
Because... we're gonna meet a reptile?
Nibbles
Because you're about to be best buds with Nibbles Maplestick! [Judy smiles, while Nick looks at her in surprise] Takes two to tango, but a threesome to be somethin'! [drives off to Marsh Market] Let's find you a reptile and romp the swamp!
Nibbles
Just let me handle the locals. Water folk tend to be a little standoffish around landies.
Nick
Yeah, well, I've been hustling the streets since I was twelve. I think I can handle a juggling seal.
Nibbles
Sea lion. [to the sea lion juggler] He's not from around here.
Nick
But coin's a coin. [drops a coin into the sea lion's bucket]
Nibbles
Oh no, change... [takes out the coin from the bucket with a sign says, "No change, only fish"] is a choking hazard.
Nick
Well, [pats on the sea lion’s flipper] honest mistake.
Nibbles
Do not do that!
Judy
Let's let Nibbles handle this.
Nibbles
Thank you, Judith.
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.
Hey, bub.
Nibbles
Hey, bub.
Hey, bub.
Nibbles
Hey, bubba, hey.
Hey, bub, hey.
Nibbles
Bub-bub-bub-bub-bub-bub.
Bub-bub-bub-bub-bub-bub.
Nibbles
Hey, bub. [mimics a record scratching]
Hey, pfft, bub-bub.
Nibbles
Hey, bub, pfft, bubby-bub.
Hey, bub, pfft! Hey, bub. Hey-ho!
Nibbles
Hey, bub-bub.
Hey, bub.
Nibbles
Seen Jesús?
Yup. [grabs the fish with his plunger, eats it, and dives back into the water, soaking Nick]
Nick
And now, we leave town.
Nibbles
Oh, I'm good, [pushes the plate towards Judy and Nick] but these guys look hungry.
Judy
Thank you for meeting with us. We believe snakes were framed for something in this journal, perhaps pertaining to—
Eat first, talk second.
Hey, guys! They ate it! [laughs as the other reptiles laugh and cheer] Look at their faces! I don't eat grubs! [takes the plate and puts it on a waiter's plate] Hermano, get me a scone! [Nick glares at Judy, who chuckles nervously] Okay, okay. [picks up the journal and inspects it] Hmm... Metal cover.
Judy
And what does that mean?
It means... [places his foot on the table] it's fancy. [stretches his toes, much to Nick's disgust] It also means the secret you're looking for is probably right on the cover. Somehow, vipers can see things in the metal, even under the paint. [slides the journal back to Judy]
Judy
This is Ebenezer Lynxley's original journal for the weather walls. Why would he hide a secret... for a snake?
I don't know, but it must've been big... 'cause a tortoise died for it.
Nick
I am guessing that it was... a slow death.
The fanging didn't just change how folks saw snakes. No mammal trusted any reptile after that. [looks at a few newspaper clippings on the wall about whether or not mammals should trust reptiles] That's why we all left, and that's when the Lynxleys expanded Tundratown the first time. [sadly] And it's happening again. The expansion is going here. Marsh Market will be buried in snow. We'll all get pushed out. Those lynxes will get more land, and there's no way to stop 'em.
Judy
What if the secret hidden in here could?
Then I would say: Holding it... puts the two of you in grave danger.
Nibbles
Pro tip: If he goes for the red line, do not follow! You will run out of air! Good luck! I LOVE YOU!
Gary
Cannonball! [leaps into the red line water tube]
Nick
Hopps, no, that's the red line! Red line, red line! [sees Judy jumping into the red line] You're gonna run out of air! Coconut, coconut! [leaps into the red line after Judy and Gary]
Nibbles
Nicholas Wilde! [Nick sighs as he sees her in the cell across from him] What are the chances? [laughs] You know, this is my first time in prison, and I gotta say: [reaches for a mop] Their food is on point. [starts gnawing on the top part of the mop]
Nick
How are you even here?
Nibbles
Destiny, plus an arrest. [chuckles] But it looks like Judith got away. Was that decision... mutual? [Nick sighs and turns away] Oh, sensin' trouble in paradise. Wanna talk about it?
Nick
What I want is to get outta here. [climbs on the bed, struggling to free himself]
Nibbles
Right, your big plan. Lay low on Outback Island, sipping piña koalas. Except you can't trust koalas 'cause they got four thumbs. [Nick climbs off the bed] Did a whole episode about it on the podcast. It was called "They Got Four Thumbs". But you know what? At least they ain't platypuses. [laughs]
Nick
Wait, can you just... Can you please just let me concentrate?
Nibbles
Roger that. [gnaws on the mop again and spits out a splinter] Just talk to me, dude! [Nick breaks a claw and sighs] What's the last thing she said to you?
Nick
She, um... Uh, she said... "maybe we are too... different."
Nibbles
Hm... And... What did you say before that?
Nick
I said the case isn't worth dying for.
Nibbles
Hm...?
Nick
Like, uh,... Like, y'know, as in it's... it isn't worth her dying for because... because solitary animals like me don't have real friends. And I-I... I don't wanna lose her. [as his ears droop] I just... I don't know how to say that. [looks down, seeing Nibbles in front of him]
Nibbles
You know what, bud? [hugs Nick] I think you just did.
Nick
Wait, how'd you do that? [gestures to the lock]
Nibbles
Well, I open my arms, put them around you, and then I squeeze. It's called a hug. Do foxes not have hugs? [realizes what Nick meant] Oh. [chuckles] The lock. Yeah, that's Beav 101. [reveals that she gnawed a key on the mop]
Pawbert
Can you see it? Did we turn on the clock tower?
Judy
There. [spots the clock tower's light] It's there!
Pawbert
We did it! We can find the original patent.
Judy
Nick...? The door... It's locked. [runs to the monitors] Wait... How did it lock?
Nick
Nibbles, open it! Nibbles!
Nibbles
Dang door stuck on me...
Judy
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
No! [tries to attack Pawbert, but...]
Pawbert
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
Judy?
Pawbert
Ruh-roh...
Nick
Carrots?
Pawbert
No loose ends.
Pawbert
Bye, partner. Bye, Judy Hopps. [walks past her]
Judy
Pawbert, please... You can be different than your family...
Pawbert
I don't wanna be different. [slams the door shut and locks the control room]
Judy
Nick...
Nick
Judy? [looks around the corridors] Judy? [looks down] Nibbles, do you see her?
Nibbles
No, nothin' yet.
Nick
Judy?
Gary
We shall... succeed, Judy Hopps.
Pawbert
It's okay. Judy sent me. She... needs to find Nick. [injects Nibbles with snake venom]
Nibbles
Yep. Should've seen that comin'. [faints]
Nick
Judy?
Judy
Nick...
Gary
We... shall... succeed,... [Judy struggles to reach for the door, but collapses] Judy.
Judy
I can't... move... and [looks at Gary] you're too... cold... to help... [off-screen] And he's gonna... Nick's gonna...
Gary
Judy,... the world... was never meant... to be... on one animal's... shoulders...
Gary
That's why... my great-grandma... wanted... Zootopia... [Judy sees Pawbert confronting Nick] to be... for everyone,... so we could... all... help each-other.
Judy
I... didn't... help.
Gary
You did. [slowly crawling] You chose... to help me... and became... my... best warm-blooded... friend. [touches Judy with his tail; his eyes glow] Very warm. [senses Judy's body heat; smiles] Permission... to hug?
Gary
We're gonna save you and save your friend. [Judy smiles, then passes out; worried] Judy? [officers Higgins, Chévre, and Bücheron enter the control room] Aah!
Hey, he's gonna eat that rabbit!
Gary
No, wait! [backing away] I-I'm saving her! I'm gonna get her the anti-pen!
Judy
I was trying to get you...
Nick
He told me that you... That you were...
Judy
And I saw you...
Gary
I'll... help your friend. [slithers off to help Nibbles]
Nick
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
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
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
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
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
Hm... Um...?
Judy
That's a bunch of rabbits!
Nibbles
Whoo! Now that is what we call an overshare. I’m alive, by the way. I made it.
