Scenes with Clawhauser

4 scenes
Muzzled wolf
[In the Zootopia Police Department, Officer Fangmeyer, a tiger, takes in a wolf with a muzzle.]

Come on! He bared his teeth first!

Clawhauser
[behind the radio dispatcher's desk, eating a bowl of Lucky Chomps Cereal]

Mm-mm-mmm!

[walks up to the desk]

Excuse me!

Clawhauser
[looking around in surprise]

Hm?

Down here! [Clawhauser looks out from his desk and sees her] Hi!

Clawhauser

O.M. Goodness. [puts down his bowl of cereal, clearly surprised and excited] They really did hire a bunny. [laughs] What?! Heh, I gotta tell you, you are even cuter than I thought you'd be!

Ooh, uh, you probably didn't know, but a bunny can call another bunny cute, but when other animals do it, it's a little...

Clawhauser
[gasps]

I am so sorry! [pointing to himself] Me, Benjamin Clawhauser, the guy everyone thinks is just a flabby, donut-loving cop stereotyping you. Aw...

[giggles]

That's okay. [notices a donut stuck under Clawhauser's neck fold] Oh, you've actually - you've actually got... There's a...

Clawhauser

Um... A what?

In your neck, the fold... The - the, there's...

Clawhauser

Where? [Pulls the donut out of his neck fat] Oh, there you went, you little dickens! [eats the donut whole.] Nom!

[laughs nervously]

I should get to roll call, so which way do I-

Clawhauser
[points]

Oh, bullpen's over there to the left.

Great. Thank you! [walks off to the bull pen as the other officers stare at her in astonishment]

Clawhauser

Aww! That poor little bunny's gonna get eaten alive.

Clawhauser
[While Judy and Nick were being chased by a savage Manchas in the Rainforest District, Clawhauser shows the Gazelle dancing app on his phone to the wolf prisoner at the ZPD lobby.]

Are you familiar with Gazelle? Greatest singer of our lifetime? Angel with horns? [the wolf prisoner shrugs] Okay, hold on. Keep watching. [shows his face on a tiger dancer with Gazelle dancing next to him] Who's that beside her? Who is it?

Wow, you are one hot dancer, Benjamin Clawhauser.

Clawhauser
[laughs]

It's me! Did you think it was real? It looks so real! [slightly disappointed] It's not, it's just a new app. [sees his microphone beeping] Hold on a second.

[through intercom, startling Clawhauser]

Clawhauser! [on-screen] Clawhauser, listen to me! We have a 10-91! Jaguar gone savage; Vine and Tudjunja!

Nick
[correcting her]

It's "Tuh-hunga"! [grabs Judy's paw, who slips and drops her radio]

Nick
[After escaping the asylum’s mental hospital, Judy and Nick slide down the pipe and fall out, going down the waterfall, Judy in a diving position, Nick twisting and turning in weird positions while screaming, before falling into the water below.] [emerges]

Carrots? Hopps! [worriedly] Judy!!

[also emerges, holding the plastic bag with her phone in it]

We gotta tell Bogo!

[In his office, Bogo looks at the Gazelle dancing app and sees his face on a tiger dancer.]

Wow, you are one hot dancer, Chief Bogo. [Bogo smiles, and then quickly puts his phone away as Clawhauser enters his office.]

Clawhauser

Chief Bogo!

Not now!

Clawhauser

Wait, is that Gazelle?

[on the video]

I'm Gazelle, and you are one hot dancer.

Clawhauser

You have the app, too? [squeals] Ohhh... Chief!

[annoyed; changing the subject]

Clawhauser, can't you see I'm working on the missing mammal cases?

Clawhauser

Oh, oh, oh, yes, of course. About that, sir, Officer Hopps just called. She found all of 'em!

[Chief Bogo gives a stunned look.] [on the video]

Wow! I'm impressed.

[Later that night, the ZPD arrests Mayor Lionheart and Dr. Badger at the asylum.]

Mayor Lionheart, you have the right to remain silent. Anything--

Lionheart

You don't understand! I was trying to protect the city!

You were just trying to protect your job.

Lionheart

No, listen! We still don't know why this is happening. It could destroy Zootopia.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. (You have the right to an attorney. If you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?)

Fabienne Growley

More bad news in the city gripped by fear. A caribou is in critical condition, the victim of mauling by a savage polar bear. This, the 27th such attack, comes just one week after ZPD officer Judy Hopps connected the violence to traditionally predatory animals.

Peter Moosebridge

Meanwhile, a peace rally organized by pop star Gazelle was marred by protest. [Gazelle is seen in front of a protest peace rally. Judy is seen between a frantic pig and a female leopard, trying to break up the argument.]

Frantic pig
[with hostility]

Go back to the forest, predator!

Female leopard
[holding up a sign; offended]

I'm from the savannah!

[interviewed]

Zootopia is a unique place. It's a crazy, beautiful, diverse city where we celebrate our differences. [looks behind herself for a moment and gestures] This is not the Zootopia I know. [Judy is still standing between the frantic pig and the female leopard.] The Zootopia I know is better than this. We don't just blindly assign blame. [On a train, Judy sees a tiger sitting next to a bunny mother and child, playing on his phone placidly. The mother pulls the child close to her. The tiger's eyebrows narrow slightly. Judy looks on in shame.] We don't know why these attacks keep happening, but it is irresponsible to label all predators as savages. [In the asylum, Mrs. Otterton sees her husband in his savage state, tethered to a pole in the middle of the room, snarling and pacing. Judy walks up to her and puts her hand on her shoulder.]

Mrs. Otterton
[sadly]

That's not my Emmitt. [Judy sadly looks at her; looks down and closes her eyes]

We cannot let fear divide us. Please, give me back the Zootopia I love.

Come on, Hopps. The new mayor wants to see us.

The mayor? Why?

It would seem you've arrived.

[follows Bogo, and sees Clawhauser packing his stuff because he was demoted]

Clawhauser? What are you doing?

Clawhauser
[sadly]

Um, they thought it would be better if a predator, such as myself, wasn't the first face that you see when you walk into the ZPD.

[shocked]

What?

Clawhauser

They're gonna move me to records. It's downstairs. It's by the boiler. [Clawhauser sadly walks off, Judy looks at him, upset and guilty. Bogo calls to her by the door.]

Hopps!

[The scene changes to Bellwether’s office, where Judy is holding a ZPD poster displaying her smiling face. She puts it down and looks at Bellwether.]

Um, I don't understand.

Our city is 90% prey, Judy, and right now, they're just really scared. You're a hero to them. They trust you. And so that's why Chief Bogo and I want you to be the public face of the ZPD.

[looks at the cover and gives thought]

I'm...not-- I'm not a hero. I came here to make the world a better place, but I think I broke it.

Don't give yourself so much credit, Hopps. The world has always been broken. That's why we need good cops. Like you.

With all due respect, sir, a good cop is supposed to serve and protect—help the city, not tear it apart. I don't deserve this badge. [takes off her badge]

[shocked]

Hopps.

[also shocked]

Judy, you've worked so hard to get here. It's what you wanted since you were a kid. You can't quit.

[puts her badge on the desk]

Thank you for the opportunity. [walks out of Bellwether's office in shame]
