Quotes 

• Bellwether : [On her guilt]  It's my word against yours

  Judy Hopps : Oooh, actually,

  [holds up her carrot recorder pen, revealing Bellwether's confession] 

  Judy Hopps : "... and I'll dart every predator in Zootopia to keep it that way!" it's your word against yours.

  Bellwether : Huh?

  Judy Hopps : It's called a hustle, sweetheart. Boom.

  [flashes a triumphant grin as Chief Bogo shows up with handcuffs behind Bellwether] 

• Bellwether : [Cornering Judy and Nick in a pit-like exhibit in the Natural History Museum]  Well, you should've just stayed on the carrot farm, huh. It really is too bad, I... I did like you!

  Judy Hopps : What're you going to do, kill me?

  Bellwether : Oh ho ho ho, no, of course not.

  [Aims the Night Howler gun at Nick] 

  Bellwether : He is!

  Judy Hopps : [a pellet hits Nick]  No! Oh, Nick!

  Bellwether : [calling the ZPD]  Yes, police! There's a savage fox in the National History Museum! Officer Hopps is down! Please hurry!

  Judy Hopps : No! Nick! Don't do this! Fight it!

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

  [Nick growls and chases Judy] 

  Bellwether : Gosh, think of the headline: "Hero cop killed by savage fox!"

  Judy Hopps : So that's it. Prey fears predator and you stay in power?

  Bellwether : Yeah. Pretty much.

  Judy Hopps : It won't work!

  Bellwether : Fear always works, and I'll dart every predator in Zootopia, to keep it that way.

• Bellwether : There! Traffic cams for the whole city. Well this is so exciting, actually. I mean, you know, I never get to do anything this important.

  Judy Hopps : But you're the assistant mayor of Zootopia.

  Bellwether : Oh, I'm more of a glorified secretary. I think Mayor Lionheart just wanted the sheep vote. But he did give me that nice mug.

  [the mug, which has pens and pencils in it, says "World's Greatest Dad", but the word Dad is crossed out with "Assistant Mayor" written above it] 

  Bellwether : Feels good to be appreciated.

• Bellwether : I framed Lionheart; I can frame you too!

• Bellwether : Think of it. 90% of the population united against a common enemy. We'll be unstoppable!

• Bellwether : I framed Lionheart, i can frame you too. It's my word against yours.

  Judy Hopps : Oh. Actually...

  Bellwether : [Judy pulls out her pen recorder and reveals that she recorded Bellwether's confession]  "... and I'll dart every predator in Zootopia to keep it that way!"

  Judy Hopps : It's *your* word against yours.

  Bellwether : Huh?

  Judy Hopps : [in a victorious tone]  It's called a hustle, sweetheart. Boom.

  [the rest of the ZPD arrive to arrest Bellwether and her henchmen] 

• Bellwether : [steps up to the podium and concludes the press conference]  Okay, thank you, Officer Hopps, uh, that's all the time that we have. No more questions.

  Judy Hopps : Was I okay?

  Bellwether : [reassuringly]  Oh, you did fine.

  Judy Hopps : [walks over to Nick]  Oh, that went so fast. I didn't get a chance to mention you or say anything about how we...

  Nick Wilde : [apprehensively bitter]  Oh, I think you said plenty.

  Judy Hopps : What do you mean?

  Nick Wilde : [quoting Judy]  "Clearly there's a biological component"? "These predators may be reverting back to their primitive, savage ways"? Are you serious?

• Judy Hopps : With all due respect, sir., a good cop... is supposed to serve and protect, help the city, not tear it apart.

  Judy Hopps : [Judy sighs and turns over her badge in resignation]  I don't deserve this badge.

  Chief Bogo : Hopps.

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

  Judy Hopps : Thank you for the opportunity.

  [Judy walks out of the office, leaving her badge on the desk] 

• Mayor Lionheart : Smellweather!

  Bellwether : [to Nick and Judy]  Agh. That's a fun little name he likes to use. I called him Lion-fart once. He did not care for that, let me tell you. It was not a good day for me. Yes, sir?

  Mayor Lionheart : I thought you were going to cancel my afternoon!

  Bellwether : Oh, dear. I'd better go. Let me know what you find. It was really nice for me to be...

  Mayor Lionheart : While we're young, Smellweather!

• Nick Wilde : I think we got it. We got it up there, thank you, yakkety-yak! You laid it all out beautifully.

  Bellwether : [confused]  What?

  Nick Wilde : Yeah. Oh, are you looking for the serum?

  [taking the pellet out of his pocket] 

  Nick Wilde : Well, it's right here.

  Judy Hopps : What have you got in the weapon there? Those are blueberries. From my family's farm.

  Nick Wilde : [kissing the digits of his paw in appreciation]  Mwah. They are delicious. You should try some.

• Mrs. Otterton : There's got to be somebody to find my Emmitt.

  Chief Bogo : Mrs. Otterton...

  Judy Hopps : I will find him.

  Mrs. Otterton : Oh! Thank you.

  [hugging her] 

  Mrs. Otterton : Bless you. Bless you, little bunny.

  [Chief Bogo growls] 

  Mrs. Otterton : Take this. Find my Emmitt. Bring him home to me and my babies, please.

  Chief Bogo : [clearing his throat]  Mrs. Otterton, please wait out here.

  Mrs. Otterton : Of course. Oh, thank you both so much.

  Chief Bogo : One second.

  [shutting the door] 

  Chief Bogo : You're fired.

  Judy Hopps : What? Why?

  Chief Bogo : Insubordination! Now, I'm going to open this door, and you're going to tell that otter you're a former meter maid with delusions of grandeur who will *not* be taking the case!

  Bellwether : [with Mrs. Otterton outside as the door opens]  I just heard Officer Hopps is taking the case.

• Judy Hopps : Oh, Nick. No.

  [growling, he advances on her] 

  Bellwether : [with an evil snicker]  Bye-bye, bunny.

  Judy Hopps : [as he bites her neck, she lets out shrieking scream]  Bleh. Blood! Blood!

  [dramatically overacting] 

  Judy Hopps : Blood and death.

  Nick Wilde : All right, you know what? You're milking it.
