Thank you for this.
Oh, it's your anniversary? [turns on the LED lights; sings Belle Notte]
[Judy smiles awkwardly and Nick frowns in discomfort.]
[Judy, Nick, Gary, and Nibbles enter the clock tower, light it up, and explore the frozen reptile neighborhood, Reptile Ravine, until Gary finds the De'Snake's home. When they get inside, they gaze around at some perfectly preserved features, including one of some drawings of a snake and a rabbit. They arrive at Agnes' desk, where she sketched her invention of the weather walls. They find a small wooden box that opens a secret bottom panel, and inside, it's a folded piece of paper. Gary pulls it out and reveals it's his great-grandmother's original patent that Ebenezer Lynxley removed from her journal. They finally found it and glance at the patent, smiling. Until,...]
I'M GONNA BURN IT ALL TO THE GROUND! I'M A REAL LYNXLEY! [maniacally laughs]
That'll do, pig. That'll do.
Welcome to my warehouse! [to Judy] Oh my god, I love your dress.
Oh, thank you.
Fru Fru and I are now equal partners in the family business. She brings wonderful ideas for crime and for fashion, while I get more time to focus on what matters most: Being grand-papa to my little Judith.
Kiss my ring!
KISS THE STINKING RING RIGHT NOW! KISS IT!
KISS IT! YOU KISS IT RIGHT NOW! KISS IT!
Nonno, you said we were gonna make cement shoes for Mr. Weaselton.
Ah, that's my girl. [Judith grins maliciously]
They grow up so fast.
YOU RUN YOUR MOUTH TOO MUCH!
THAT'S MY DAUGHTER! YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH, FOX! [Nick flinches as Judy glares at him, which he notices and gives her a shrug with a "What?" look]
Anyways, you're in trouble, and we like one of yous, so we're here to help.
New clothes, new identities, truck outta town leaves in an hour, and your meter-maid cart is taken care of.
I think you misunderstand. We've been framed by the lynxes, and an innocent snake needs our...
Judy, the Lynxleys are killers, and they have no honor, and this Tundratown expansion only makes them more dangerous. Territorial animals will do anything for more land. So, if whatever you're tangled up in threatens their plans, you're dead. You don't fight the cats, you leave.
Sir, I know you're trying to look out for us, but we took an oath to protect this city, and justice doesn't run.
On behalf of myself, [reads his and Judy's fake I.D.'s] Rick Wilde and Miss Trudy... Cabbagepatch. We thank you for your truck to salvation and... [Judy rips off his fake moustache] Yow!
We cannot accept your offer. We are helping that snake.
Snakes may have been framed for the fanging of that tortoise. Do you have any idea why or how this book could prove it? [shows the journal to Mr. Big]
I wish I did. But if it has to do with snakes, your best bet is talking to a reptile.
Do you know any?
Almost no one does. They keep to themselves, hide out in Marsh Market.
But you can still find 'em. You just need to find a reptile expert, someone local who knows where to go. Lucky for you, I met someone. [gives Judy Nibbles' business card] She runs a podcast!
Are you okay?
Yeah, yes. Uh... You?
Well, now we kinda have no way to find him or stop the lynxes, so... agree to disagree. [flicks her ears at Nick, throwing water at his face]
But... we are alive. So, if we can't find him, that's great. What we can find... is a truck outta here. [tries to spray water at Judy, but smacks his snout with his tail] Gah.
Box of old matches... helpful. Trudy Cabbagepatch, leaving town; We're done. [tries to walk away]
Yodelayhehoo!
This is weird place for you to be.
Ja, very weird.
Ach, they fell out of ze tube. [takes out his phone] Okay, we will call police to help!
No! No, we're fine.
Yep, but we were just leaving town.
Actually, um, do you happen to know where this tube goes?
Oh, Copenhoofen. [points at a distance]
Ja, ist Copenhoofen. [starts coughing]
Got it, thank you-
Ah, you chew too much. This is not... [does the Heimlich maneuver on Jürgen, making him spit half-chewed yellow flowers at Nick, much to his disgust as he dusts them off]
Oh, the Liebchenflower? [points above] Ze tippity-top of ze mountain. Uh, zis is ze only place zey grow.
Is... [to Jürgen and Berthold] Uh... Is there anything else up there?
Nope, there sure isn't.
Oh, ja; [Nick groans] Old Honeymoon Lodge, but is closed for a long time because was hideout for snakes.
Honeymoon Lodge... [Nick sighs] H-How do you reach it?
Oh, tourists take ze tram from Copenhoofen, but ze rope is faster!
Good luck! [on the other side] Have fun at the Honeymoon Lodge!
What does this secret... have to do with the reptiles leaving town? How did it get hidden in the journal in the first place?
How long do you think it's gonna be before Hoggbottom and the ZPD figure out where we are? [keeps climbing] If anything, we should be going faster. As I always say...
Judy's voice: [through carrot pen; off-screen] I really am just a dumb bunny.
This was a gift to symbolize our partnership. And it is not appropriate for this moment.
Oh, no, I was just... [chuckles] hoping to jot down some ideas for what we will put on our tombstones. I'll start: "His partner did it!" [snatches the carrot pen back]
Yeah. [snatches back the carrot pen] You need a therapy animal!
Oh, yeah?! Well, you need a herd of therapy animals. [starts to fight over the carrot pen with Judy] Yeah, you need a whole migration of therapy animals!
[As Nick tries to keep the carrot pen away from Judy, he pulls the carrot pen out of Judy's grasp, making them slip, and Nick accidentally knocks his paw on the cliff, causing the carrot pen to fall on a nearby rock. As Judy and Nick try to save it, they knock paws, making the pen fall all the way down the cliff, breaking into pieces on the ground, leaving Nick shocked and Judy heartbroken and hurt. Nick shamefully sees Judy's hurt expression as she starts to turn angry, giving Nick the silent treatment when she climbs up the cliff, leaving Nick feeling ashamed for her. Judy reaches the Honeymoon Lodge and unclips herself before entering it. Later, Nick reaches the Honeymoon Lodge.]
Carrots? [sighs before unclipping himself and following Judy]
Pro tip: If he goes for the red line, do not follow! You will run out of air! Good luck! I LOVE YOU!
Cannonball! [leaps into the red line water tube]
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]
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]
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?
What I want is to get outta here. [climbs on the bed, struggling to free himself]
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]
Wait, can you just... Can you please just let me concentrate?
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?
Hm... And... What did you say before that?
I said the case isn't worth dying for.
Hm...?
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]
You know what, bud? [hugs Nick] I think you just did.
Wait, how'd you do that? [gestures to the lock]
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]
How much do you know?
Well, that his family was framed and there's some secret hidden in the metal cover that only a snake can see.
Not just any snake; A heat-sensing pit viper. All it takes is a little warmth.
I just... I don't understand. Why would your great-grandfather hide a secret for a snake?
He... didn't.
I... [gasps in realization] It wasn't his journal; that's the secret. [envisions herself in a flashback of Zootopia in the 1900s] Zootopia wasn't created by a mammal; it was created... by a snake.
Gary's great grandmother (Agnes De'Snake). She wanted to make the city a place where all animals felt welcome, so she invented her weather walls to help everyone. She just needed an investor, a partner. But when my great-grandfather saw what her idea could be worth, he plotted to steal her plans for himself. So he committed a murder- his own maid- and framed Gary's great-grandmother. And because she was a snake, everyone believed his lie. Soon, no reptiles were welcome. And over time, my great-grandfather buried the reptile neighborhood in snow. And he died, believing no one could ever uncover his crimes. But... he was... wrong.
Her original patent was saved. That's what you're looking for. She hid it in her home. Find her home, find her patent.
[End of flashback]
Mayor Winddancer?
Where are they, Mr. Wilde? [Nick turns away in denial; to Cattrick] Begin the expansion. Freeze Marsh Market. Flush everyone out.
Water folk, like foxes, are lesser mammals. If I say they helped a dangerous snake, no one will care what we do. [digs his claws in Nick, who groans in pain] You're going to a dark cell, Mr. Wilde, just long enough to read the headline of your partner's demise. [takes his claws off Nick, who glares] You should've left town while you had the chance.
Dad. Fur from... [gives the sample] whoever's helping the bunny and the snake.
Where is she?
She... She didn't make it. [Nick turns mortified] But with snake bites, you... go fast... You'll see.
[Inside the control room, Gary, surrounded by officers Higgins and Bloats, quickly swings a telephone at Higgins' head, angering him and Bloats. On the roof, Pawbert aggressively tackles Nick to the ice, trying to stab him with his venom injector. Back in the control room, Chèvre tries to tackle Gary, but he slithers aside while still coiling around a passed-out Judy. Gary tries to leave the control room, but Officer Bücheron stops him from doing so.]
No! [looks at Judy, who is losing strength]
She gone, Nick! Just... get it over with!
You're done! Know when to quit!
Anti-venom! [Nick looks down; pops out] You can save her with the anti-venom! Throw me the bag! [the officers yank him back inside, revealing Judy's unconscious body]
Judy!
Leave it! You're gonna kill us both! It's not worth dying for.
Agree... [glares at Pawbert] to disagree. [shoves Pawbert away, slides down, grabs the anti-venom pen, and throws it to the fire escape, allowing Gary to barely grab it]
Stab me straight into the heart!
[As Gary stabs his pen into Judy's heart, she recovers instantly, gasping in shock. Seeing Nick on the verge of falling to his demise, Judy kicks Bloats and Higgins off Gary before knocking Rhinowitz out in a rush to save him. As the cliff shatters, Nick and Pawbert both start to fall to their deaths, but Judy quickly grabs Nick's paw with Gary's help, who grabs Judy, as Pawbert falls.]
No, no, Trudy Cabbagepatch; Rick Wilde says "no".
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!
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...
Hopps and Wilde do not bail on a case.
But she's crazy; Probably lead poisoning from eating too many pencils! [sees Nibbles chewing on two pencils and spitting out a splinter]
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]
It's Trudy Cabbagepatch and the safe word is "coconut". [steps in the car alongside Judy]
In the darkness of a dank underpass, they stepped into the vehicle, not realizing their lives were about to change.
Because... we're gonna meet a reptile?
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!
Wait, why are you helping us?
You two saved the city once, I reckon you can save it again. And when you do, maybe everyone will see we ain't that different. [runs across the water to safety]
Huh.
Hopps! What did you DO?!
They're helping the snake! They tried to kill the chief!
Yikes... No wonder you never invite me over. [Nick: Foxes are solitary.]
Come on, get on up/ We're wild, and we can't be tamed/ And we're turnin' the floor into/ A zoo, ooh, ooh/ Come on, keep it up/ It's fun if you're down to play/ And we're turnin' the floor into/ A zoo, ooh, ooh
