Judy
Sir, today may not have been ideal, but the anteater was captured...
By the Zebros!
ZEBROS!! [both high-five]
SHUT IT!!!
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...
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!!!!
You're almost out! You're gonna be--
Please no, please NO...!
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]
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!
ENOUGH!!! Everybody, [in high-pitched voice] out!
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.
Nick
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]
Is there a reason why you don't take anything seriously?
Nick
Jokes are a classic defensive mechanism for someone with a traumatic childhood.
Would you like a traumatic adulthood?
Nick
I would not.
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...
So, instead of chasing imaginary reptiles, I am pulling you from the field...
Judy
What?! [Nick frowns]
...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]
