[As Pawbert leaves the control room after betraying Judy and Gary, he hears Nick climbing the stairs and follows him.] [off-screen]
Judy? [looks around the corridors] Judy? [looks down] Nibbles, do you see her?
Nibbles
[holding a flashlight]
No, nothin' yet.
Nick
[In the control room, Judy struggles to crawl to the door.] [through the monitor]
Judy?
Gary
[from outside; shivering]
We shall... succeed, Judy Hopps.
Pawbert
[Judy briefly looks at Gary before continuing to crawl. Outside the control room, Nibbles stumbles upon Pawbert.] [pretends to surrender]
It's okay. Judy sent me. She... needs to find Nick. [injects Nibbles with snake venom]
Nibbles
[unamused]
Yep. Should've seen that comin'. [faints]
Nick
[Pawbert walks over Nibbles as he reloads his venom injector.] [off-screen]
Judy?
Judy
[Back in the control room, Judy is still struggling to reach the door. On the monitors, Nick is climbing the stairs as Pawbert follows him.] [struggling to crawl]
Nick...
Gary
[off-screen]
We... shall... succeed,... [Judy struggles to reach for the door, but collapses] Judy.
Judy
[weakly]
I can't... move... and [looks at Gary] you're too... cold... to help... [off-screen] And he's gonna... Nick's gonna...
Gary
[Thinking Judy is outside, Nick swings the steel door open. Once outside, Nick shields his eyes from the blizzard, looking for Judy.] [off-screen]
Judy,... the world... was never meant... to be... on one animal's... shoulders...
Gary
[As he turns around, Nick is confronted by Pawbert. Nick warily backs away upon seeing the venom injector in Pawbert's paw.] [crawling to Judy]
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
[tears up; guilty]
I... didn't... help.
Gary
[Outside, Nick is still backing away from Pawbert.] [off-screen]
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
[When Judy weakly nods "yes", Gary softly coils around her as the ice crystals on his scales start melting thanks to Judy's body heat, restoring him.] [sees Pawbert with his fanny bag through the monitor]
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!
OHOfficer Higgins
[points at Gary in fright]
Hey, he's gonna eat that rabbit!
Gary
[panicked]
No, wait! [backing away] I-I'm saving her! I'm gonna get her the anti-pen!
