Scenes with Chief Bogo

6 scenes
Chief Bogo
[Judy has volunteered to find Emmit Otterton, much to Chief Bogo's annoyance.]

I will give you 48 hours.

[excited]

YES!!!

Chief Bogo

That’s two days to find Emmitt Otterton.

Okay.

Chief Bogo

But! You strike out, you resign.

[enthusiasm drops]

Oh. Uh... Okay. Deal.

Chief Bogo

Splendid. Clawhauser will give you the complete case file.

Chief Bogo

All right, all right, enough. Shut it! [the officers sit] We have some new recruits with us this morning, including our first fox. [Nick is seen sitting next to Judy on the same chair she's standing on] Who cares?

Nick

Ha! You should have your own line of inspirational greeting cards, sir!

Chief Bogo

Shut your mouth, Wilde! [Judy and the officers snicker, and Bogo takes out his glasses and files] Assignments: Officers Grizzoli, Fangmeyer, Delgato; Tundratown SWAT. [they stand and leave] Snarlov, Higgins, Wolfard; undercover. [Snarlov puts on a green cap, Higgins puts on a fake mustache, and Wolfard puts on a sheep costume and they leave.] Hopps, Wilde... parking duty. Dismissed. [Judy and Nick look at the chief shocked. Then Bogo smiles] Just kidding! [seriously] We have reports of a street racer tearing up Savannah Central. Find him, shut him down.

Chief Bogo

First... we need to acknowledge the elephant in the room. [turns to an elephant officer] Francine. [they look at Francine in mild suspense] Happy birthday.

Office Francine
[The suspense turns into excitement; officers around Francine get involved in a tussle]

Heh, oh yeah? [gives Officer Jackson a noogie]

[applauds and is later surprised]

Oh, oh...

[Judy and Nick leads Chief Bogo and the ZPD to the sky tram to show them where a savage Manchas is.]

I thought this was just a missing mammal case, but it's way bigger. Mr. Otterton did not just disappear. I believe he, and this jaguar, they... they went savage, sir.

Chief Bogo

Savage? This isn't the Stone Age, Hopps. Animals don't "go savage".

I thought so too... [moves the leaves to show Manchas] 'Till I saw this.

[But Manchas has disappeared.]

What? He was right here!

Chief Bogo

The savage jaguar?

Sir, I know what I saw. He almost killed us!

Chief Bogo

Or maybe any aggressive predator looks "savage" to you rabbits. [to the ZPD] Let's go! [starts to leave]

[tries to stop him]

No. Wait! Sir, I'm not the only one who saw him. [looks at Nick, who is between the officers] Nick!

Chief Bogo
[scoffs]

You think I'm gonna believe a fox?

Well, he was a key witness, and I-

Chief Bogo

Two days to find the otter, or you quit. That was the deal. [holds out his hoof] Badge.

[Nick looks at Judy and Chief Bogo in shock and guilt]

But sir--

Chief Bogo

BADGE!

Nick
[Judy reluctantly starts to unclip her badge, until Nick speaks.] [to Chief Bogo]

Uh, no.

Chief Bogo
[turns to Nick; incredulously]

What did you say, fox?

Nick

Sorry, what I said was, "No!" She will not be giving you that badge.

Nick
[Chief Bogo grunts irritably]

Look, you gave her a... a clown vest, a three-wheeled joke-mobile, and two days to solve a case you guys haven't cracked in two weeks? [Chief Bogo looks slightly ashamed] Yeah, it's no wonder she needed to get help from a fox. None of you guys were gonna help her, were you?

Nick
[Chief Bogo tries to speak but Nick cuts him off]

Here's the thing, chief. You gave her the 48 hours, so technically we still have... [counts and holds out his paws] ten left to find our Mr. Otterton, and that is exactly what we're gonna do. So, if you'll excuse us, we have a very big lead to follow, and a case to crack. [salutes] Good day.

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.]

Chief Bogo!

Chief Bogo

Not now!

Wait, is that Gazelle?

Chief Bogo

No!

[on the video]

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

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

Chief Bogo
[annoyed; changing the subject]

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

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.

Chief Bogo

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

The mayor? Why?

Chief Bogo

It would seem you've arrived.

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

Clawhauser? What are you doing?

[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?

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.]

Chief Bogo

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.

Chief Bogo

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]

Chief Bogo
[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]
