A scene from Zootopia 2016
Bellwether

[after Judy and Nick have been thrown into the pit in the museum by one of Bellwether's henchmen; the suitcase with the dart gun and serum pellet knocked out of their hands]

Well, you should have just stayed at the carrot farm, huh? It really is too bad, I... I did like you.

Judy

What are you gonna do? Kill me?

Bellwether

[laughs]

No, of course not. [aims the dart gun at Nick, evilly] He is.

Judy

[Bellwether shoots Nick with a serum pellet; he falls to the floor, writhing]

No! Oh, Nick!

Bellwether

[talking via cellphone, fake panicked]

Yes? Police? There's a savage fox in Natural History Museum! Officer Hopps is down! Please, hurry!

Judy

No, Nick. Don't you do this, fight it.

Bellwether

Oh, but he can't help it. Can he? Since preds are just... biologically predisposed to be savages.

Bellwether

[Nick turns feral and attacks Judy. She tries to run away and defend herself by throwing a stuffed fawn at him. She then cowers by the wall as Nick rips the fawn to pieces with his teeth]

Gosh! Think of the headlines: "Hero cop killed by savage fox"!

Judy

So that's it? Prey fears predator and you stay in power?

Bellwether

Yeah. Pretty much.

Judy

It won't work!

Bellwether

Fear always works! And I'll dart every predator in Zootopia to keep it that way.

Judy

[as Nick closes in on her, growling]

Oh, Nick... No...

Bellwether

Bye-bye, bunny.

Judy

[Nick locks his jaws on Judy's neck. Judy screams excruciatingly. However, after a short pause, Nick releases her and smiles] [sticks out her tongue; theatrically]

Bleh! Blood! Blood! Blood! And death!

Nick

All right, you know, you're milking it. Besides, I think we got it. [to Bellwether] I think we got it! We got it up there, thank you, Yakety-Yak! You've laid it all out beautifully!

Bellwether

[looks at the dart gun, shocked]

What?

Nick

Yeah, oh, are, are you looking for the serum? [reaches into his shirt pocket and shows the real serum pellet] Well, it's right here.

Judy

What have you got in the weapon there? [Bellwether opens the dart gun's slot and discovers it is loaded with blueberries] Those are blueberries. From my family's farm!

Nick

[tastes the blueberry and blows a kiss]

Mwah! They are delicious. You should try some.

Bellwether

[growls furiously, closing the gun]

I framed Lionheart, I can frame you too! It's my word against yours.

Judy

Oooh! Actually... [pulls out her carrot pen and plays back Bellwether's confession]

Bellwether

[through carrot pen]

"And I'll dart every predator in Zootopia to keep it that way."

Judy

It's your word against yours.

Bellwether

[her jaw drops, dumbfounded]

Huh?

Judy

It's called a hustle, sweetheart. Boom.
[panicking, Bellwether tries to run, but finds herself already surrounded by Chief Bogo and the ZPD]
