Clawhauser: O-M-Goodness! They really did hire a bunny. (LAUGHS) What! I gotta tell you, you're even cuter than I thought you'd be!
Judy: (a little wince) Oh, ah. 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) (realizing) I am so sorry! Me, Benjamin Clawhauser, the guy everyone thinks is just a flabby, donut-loving cop, stereotyping you. Oh...
Judy: No, it's okay. Oh, you've actually got... There's a... In your neck. The fold.(Clawhauser removes a small donut from under some neck fat)

NARRATOR: In Who-ville tradition, unlike yours or mine, the mayor's oldest is next in the mayoral line. And who was the oldest, to lead and stand tall?
Narrator: It was JoJo, his son, the smallest Who of all.
Mayor: So, JoJo, what's, uh, what's shaking? What's happening? What's the world?
NARRATOR: Now to you or to me, it's finally clear that JoJo did not want his father's career. But the Mayor pressed forward completely deluded...(SCATTING)

Silvermist: No, but did you see that big, green ball of light that flew by?(Rosetta changed the subject)
ROSETTA: What's with the berries?
Fawn: Just bringing them to the forest. For the animals.
Vidia: Don't berries come from the forest?
Fawn: (quickly) Not this particular variety which is, um, extra berry-full-licious-tastic!(Silvermist was excited)
Silvermist: Yum! Can we help?(Fawn brushed her away)
Fawn: No, no, no! We're fine. Why would we need help?
Rosetta: Oh, for goodness' sake. There's an easier way to do this.(Without permission, Rosetta sprinkled pixie dust on the berries. The berries began to rise...)
(Fawn tried to stop her)
Fawn: Wait! No, no! You don't know what you're doing!
Rosetta: It's called "helping." A simple "thank you" would suffice.(The dusted berries kept lifting rapidly into the air...)
Rosetta: What are you all staring at?(The girls all backed off, wide-eyed. Every animal and fairy in the Animal Den turned to stare. Then Hannah chirped)
(The fairies screamed! Animals and fairies were running and shouting, trying to get away from Hannah. Hannah was scared from all the screaming. She flapped her wings and squawked)

Robin: Sorry, did you say something?(Chase asked a fairy named BUCK, who was working with the squirrels, about the roar)

Buck: Little faster. Visualize the acorn right in front of you.
Chase: Excellent. What was it?(Buck shrugged)
Buck: No idea. But let me know as soon as you find out.(An animal fairy named MORGAN was coaching a baby skunk how to spray)

Morgan: Oh, I don't know. I don't specialize in roars. Now, grunts and growls, on the other hand...(Morgan was going to explain more, but Nyx cut her off)

Judy: You sold Mr. Otterton that popsicle, right? Do you know him?
Nick: I know everybody. And I also know that, somewhere there's a toy store missing its stuffed animal, so why don't you get back to your box?(Hopps' ears droop)
Judy: Fine. Then we'll have to do this the hard way.(She puts a boot on the stroller)
Nick: Did you just boot my stroller?
Judy: Nicholas Wilde, you are under arrest.
Nick: Ha! For what? (BABY VOICE) Hurting your feelings?
Judy: Felony Tax Evasion.(Nick smiles drops a bit)
Judy: Yeah, $200 a day, 365 days a year since you were 12. That's two decades, so times 20, (calculating) which is $1,460,000, I think. (CHUCKLES) I mean, I am just a dumb bunny, but we are good at multiplying. Anyway, according to your tax forms, (presenting the forms) you reported, let me see here... zero! Unfortunately, lying on a federal form is a punishable offense. Five years jail time.
Nick: Well, it's my word against yours.(Hopps clicks a button on her CARROT PEN, which SPEAKS)
NICK ON RECORDING: 200 bucks a day, Fluff! 365 days a year, since I was 12.
Judy: Actually, it's your word against yours. And if you want this pen, you're going to help me find this poor missing otter or the only place you'll be selling popsicles is the prison cafeteria. (dramatic smirk) It's called a hustle, sweetheart.(Nick is utterly speechless)
FINNICK: She hustled you. (rude laugh) (LAUGHING) (INHALES) She hustled you good! You're a cop now, Nick. You gonna need one of these.(THWAP! Finnick slaps his JUNIOR OFFICER STICKER on Nick)
Finnick: (CHUCKLES) Have fun working with the fuzz! (CONTINUES LAUGHING)
Judy: Start talking.
Nick: (SIGHS) I don't know where he is. I only saw where he went.
Judy: Great. Let's go!
Nick: It's not exactly a place for, uh, a cute little bunny.
Judy: Don't call me cute. (forceful) Get in the car.
Nick: Okay. You're the boss.
Horton: All right. I gotta get this speck up to the top Mount Nool A.S.A.P. Whatever that means. Probably, "act swiftly, awesome pachyderm." I mean, how hard can it be?
Horton: (WHIMPERS) It's just a straight plummet to certain death.
Horton: This looks kind of precarious. Well, no need to worry. Obviously, when they build the bridge like this they take into account that elephants will be crossing here.
Horton: All right. Feels good. I'll just get... The feel of it!(STAMMERING)
Horton: Yike!(GROANING)

(WOMAN SCREAMING)
Mayor: (GASPS) All right!
Dentist: Hello. And how are we today, Mr. Mayor?
Dentist: Say "ahh."Ahh.
Ah!
Hmm.
Dentist: Rinse, please.
Horton: (NASAL VOICE) I think a few of these boards could stand to be replaced.Ooh!
(WHIMPERS)
Horton: I just need to think light. I'm light as a feather. I'm light as a feather.
Horton: Heavy feather.
Dentist: Okay. This will just pinch a little.(GASPS)
Horton: I'm lighter than a feather. What's lighter than a feather?
Horton: (GASPS) Air! There's nothing lighter. So, it stands to reason... (INHALES) that the more air I have... (INHALES) the lighter... (INHALES) I'll be.(GROANING)
(GROANS)
-Ah! -(EXHALES)
(SPUTTERING)
(SCREAMS)
(GROANS)
(MOANING AND GROANING)
(CONTINUES GROANING)
Ah!
DENTIST: Next, please.
Horton: All right, that was absolutely terrifying. If I just pull myself up...
Horton: (GASPS) Try not to panic.(GRUNTING)
(SCREAMING)
Horton: Hmm.
Horton: Whew! That could have been a disaster. Wow. I feel really good right now. Maybe it's my new sense of purpose.Whoa.
-(GROUND RUMBLING) -(GASPING)
(GRUNTING AND GROANING)
Mayor: All right. (SIGHS)
Mayor: Hey! JoJo, I need your help. Can you help me? Okay. Great.
Mayor: Okay, first I need you to go to the girls' room. Aah!
Mayor: Take down Hannah's china doll collection and then... Stop looking at my arm. Put away Molly's lightbulb collections and then... You know what? Just take of anything that might break or shatter.
Mayor: Okay. Take a good, long look. Got it? Thanks, JoJo.(PANTING)
(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)
Mayor: (SCREAMS IN PAIN) Oh!(CHUCKLES) Whew!
MAYOR: Here. And I'll take that. And... Oh! Ah!(GRUNTING)
SALLY: Hi! You're home late.
Mayor: Oh. Sorry, hon. I was just having some dental work done on my arm.
Sally: So, what was the... Ned!(GASPS, CHUCKLES)
Sally: What are you doing?
Mayor: What do you mean?
Sally: Well, I'm no detective, Ned. But you are hanging from the chandelier.
Mayor: I just thought it might look better somewhere it can't fall on us and crush us in our sleep.(YELLS, CHUCKLES)
Sally: What is going on?
Mayor: (EXHALES) Hey, hon. (CHUCKLES) Did you ever get the feeling that you were being watched?
Sally: Um, yeah. Sure, I suppose.
Mayor: And then you get feeling that maybe that thing watching you is... Uh, a giant elephant.
Sally: Um...
Mayor: You know, how'd get that weird feeling that your world is actually a tiny speck? And that the elephant that I talked about earlier, he's carrying it around on flower. And you realize then if you tell anybody, they'd think you were crazy. But you still feel the responsibility to keep everyone safe. You know that feeling?
Sally: Um... You know, I'm gonna have to say no. Do you know that feeling?
Mayor: Ah! (CHUCKLES) No. (YAWNING) Yawn. Wow! I am beat. Time to hit the hey, I guess.
SALLY: Sweetheart. I know you're under a lot of stress. And if you're seeing elephants and flowers, then fine. Just don't tell anyone else that story. Okay? And remember, it's not the end of the world.
Mayor: The end of the world?(INT. THE MYSTIC SPRING OASIS – LATER. The Mystic Spring Oasis is new age, full of incense, etc. A meditating HIPPIE YAK sits with flies buzzing around his head, matching the tone of his ohm. Hopps enters with Nick and they approach the yak (still with his eyes closed))
YAX: (CHANTING) Om!
Judy: (CLEARS THROAT) Hi. Hello?(The yak continues his incessant chanting)
Judy: Um, hello? Hello? Hello?(The yak finally shakes out of his trance and notices Hopps)
JUDY: Hello. My name is...
Yax: Oh, you know, I'm gonna hit the pause button right there, because we're all good on Bunny Scout cookies.
Judy: Uh...no. I'm Officer Hopps, ZPD. I'm looking for a missing mammal, Emmitt Otterton, right here, (shows photo) who may have frequented this establishment.(The Yak looks at Hopps' picture. His eyes go wide, as if he's about to say something really important, and then:)
Yax: (SNEEZES) (flies go everyone) (SNIFFLES) Hmm. Yeah, old Emmitt. (CHUCKLES) Haven't seen him in a couple of weeks. But, hey, you should talk to his yoga instructor. I'd be happy to take you back.
Judy: Oh, thank you so much. I'd appreciate that more than you can imagine, it'd be such... (scream) Oh! You are naked!(The Yak comes around the counter and he IS naked)
Yax: Huh? Oh, for sure, we're a naturalist club! (LAUGHS)
Nick: Yeah. In Zootopia, anyone can be anything. These guys, they be naked.(Nick grins, Hopps isn't pleased)
Yax: Nangi's just on the other side of the pleasure pool.(The Yak opens the doors to a POOL AREA, with tons of naked animals sunning themselves, playing in the pool, etc. Hopps' eyes nearly pop out of her head. Nick learns in)
NICK: Oh, boy. Does this make you uncomfortable? Because if so, there is no shame in calling it quits.
Judy: Yes, there is.
Nick: Boy, that's the spirit.(EXT. NATURALIST CLUB – COURTYARD – MOMENTS LATER. Nick revels in Hopps' discomfort over the nude animals everywhere. Lots of nude animals. Yax leads them, oblivious)
YAX: Yeah, some mammals say the naturalist life is weird, but you know what I say is weird? Clothes on animals! Here we go!(Nangi's engaging in a string of fair evocative yoga poses)
Yax: As you can see, Nangi is an elephant, so she'll totally remember everything. Hey, Nangi. These dudes have some questions about Emmitt the otter.
Nangi: Who?
Yax: Uh...Emmitt Otterton? Been coming to your yoga class for like 6 years.
Nangi: I have no memory of this beaver.
Judy: He's an otter, actually.
Yax: He was here a couple Wednesdays ago, remember?
Nangi: No.
Yax: Yeah, he was wearing a green cable knit sweater vest, and a new pair of corduroy slacks. Oh, and a paisley tie, sweet Windsor knot. Real tight. Remember that, Nangi?
Nangi: No.(Nancy doesn't want to be bothered. And she's useless. Yax is a gold mine, though! Hopps writes down everything he says)
Yax: Yeah, and we both walked him out, and he got into this big old white car with a silver trim. Needed a tune up. The third cylinder wasn't firing. Remember that, Nangi?
Nangi: No.
Judy: (STAMMERS) Uh... You didn't happen to catch the license plate number, did you?
Yax: Oh, for sure. It was 2-9-T-H-D... 0-3.
JUDY: 0-3. Wow. This is a lot of great info. Thank you.
Yax: Told you Nangi has a mind like a steel trap. I wish I had a memory like an elephant.(EXT. SAHARA SQUARE – MOMENTS LATER. Nick and Hopps emerge)
Nick: Well, I had a ball. You are welcome for the clue. And seeing as any moron can run a plate, I will take that pen and bid you adieu.(As Nick reaches to take it, Hopps realizes something and leaves him hanging)
Judy: The plate. I can't run a plate. (frustrated grunt) (GROANS) I'm not in the system yet.
Nick: Give me the pen, please.(Hopps gets an idea...)
Judy: (still withholding pen) What was it you said? "Any moron can run a plate"? Gosh. If only there were a moron around who were up to the task.
Nick: Rabbit, I did what you asked! You can't keep me on the hook forever.
Judy: Not forever. Well, I only have 36 hours left to solve this case. So can you run the plate or not?
Nick: Actually, I just remembered I have a pal at the DMV.(EXT. DMV – LATER. They arrive at the DMV, the "Department of Mammal Vehicles")
Nick: Flash is the fastest guy in there. If you need something done, he's on it.
JUDY: I hope so. We are really fighting the clock and every minute counts. (suddenly stops, alarmed) Wait. They're all sloths?(Unfortunately, every mammal working there is a... SLOTH. INSERT: SLOTH EMPLOYEES taking extraordinary amounts of time to do the simplest of tasks– stapling, stamping, etc.)
Judy: You said this was going to be quick!
Nick: (faux innocence) Are you saying just because he's a sloth he can't be fast? I thought in Zootopia, anyone could be anything.(Nick smiles. Hopps doesn't. They head to Flash's station)
Nick: Flash, Flash, hundred yard dash. Buddy, it's nice to see you.(Flash doesn't respond. Beat)
Flash: Nice to... (beat) (beat) see you... (beat) (beat) too.(Hopps looks like she's going to die)
Nick: Hey, Flash, I'd love you to meet my friend. Uh, darling, I've forgotten your name.
Judy: (fake smile, to Nick) Hmm. Officer Judy Hopps, ZPD, (shows badge) how are you?(Flash doesn't respond... then...)
Flash: I am... doing... just...
Judy: Fine?
Flash: ...as well as... I can... be. What...
Nick: (to an impatient Hopps) Hang in there.
Flash: ...can I... do...
Judy: Well, I was hoping you could run a...
Flash: ...for you...
Judy: Well, I was hoping you could...
Flash: ...today?(Hopps pauses– cautiously optimistic that he's finished)
Judy: Well, I was hoping you could run a plate for us. We are in a really big hurry.(Beat. Beat)
Flash: Sure. What's the... plate...
Judy: 2-9-T...
Flash: ...number?(Hopps takes a breath)
Judy: 2-9-T-H-D-0-3.
Flash: (several beats) Two... nine...
Judy: T-H-D-0-3.
Flash: ...T...
Judy: H-D-0-3.
Flash: ...H...
Judy: D-0-3.
Flash: ...D...
Judy: Mm-hm. 0-3.
Flash: ...0...
Judy: 3.(Flash is just about to say three, but...)
Nick: Hey, Flash. Wanna hear a joke?
Judy: No!
FLASH: Sure.
Nick: Okay. What do you call a three-humped camel?
Flash: I don't... know. (beat) What... do... you call... a...
Judy: Three-humped camel.
Flash: ...three-humped... camel?
Nick: Pregnant. (LAUGHING)(Nick laughs at his own joke. Flash doesn't react, then finally raises his head with a smile and...)
Flash: (LAUGHING SLOWLY)
Judy: Ha-ha! Yes, very funny, very funny. Can we please just focus on the... Wait, wait, wait!(Flash slowly reaches over to the sloth next to him)
FLASH: ...Priscilla!
JUDY: Oh, no!
Priscilla: Yes... Flash?
Flash: What... do...
Judy: No!
Flash: ...you call a...
Judy: A three-humped camel? "Pregnant!" Okay, great, we got it. Please just...
Flash: ...three... humped...
Judy: (GROANS)(INT. DMV – LATER. A slow DOT-MATRIX printer spits out the address for CAR LICENSE PLATE NUMBER: 29THDO3)
FLASH: Here...
Judy: Yeah. Hurry. Thank you.
Flash: ...you... go.
Judy: (frantically reads) "2-9-T-H-D-0-3." It's registered to Tundratown Limo Service. A limo took Otterton, and the limo's in Tundratown! It's in Tundratown!
Nick: Way to hustle, bud. I love you. I owe you.
Judy: Hurry! We gotta beat the rush hour, and...(EXT. DMV – CONTINUOUS. They go outside. It's night)
Judy: It's night?__________
(Nick spots a cocktail glass... it's etched with a "B")
NICK: Well, now, wait a minute. (then, suspicious) Polar bear fur, Rat-pack music, fancy cup? (suddenly terrified) I know whose car this is. We got to go.
Judy: What? Whose car is it?(Nick tries to put everything back the way he found it)
Nick: The most feared crime boss in Tundratown. They call him Mr. Big. And he does not like me. So we gotta go!
Judy: I'm not leaving. This is a crime scene.
Nick: Well, it's gonna be an even bigger crime scene if Mr. Big finds me here, so we're leaving right now.(Nick ushers Hopps to the floor, but opens it to find two big POLAR BEARS)
Nick: (faux excitement) (GASPS) Raymond! And is that Kevin? Long time, no see. And, speaking of "no see", how about you forget you saw me, huh? For old times' sake?(The polar bears grab Nick and Hopps by their throats...)
Nick: That's a no.(...and yank them off screen)
(INT. POLAR BEAR CAR – MOMENTS LATER. VROOM! A car whizzes by. Inside, Nick and Hopps sits nervously in the back seat, sandwiched between between the polar bears–one of whom casually scrolls through Google Photos on his phone)
RAYMOND: Oh... (LAUGHING)
Judy: What did you do that made Mr. Big so mad at you?
Nick: (sotto) I, uh, I may have sold him a very expensive wool rug that was made from the fur of a skunk's butt.
Judy: (pissed at Nick) Oh, sweet cheese and crackers.__________
(EXT. SUMMER TOWER – NIGHT. That evening, Fawn gathered her friends near Gruff's Summer Tower)
Fawn: First, thank you guys so much for meeting me here. I'm sure you're wondering what this is about.(Tink, Vidia, Silvermist, Iridessa, and Rosetta were all there. Rosetta was already dressed for bed)
Rosetta: Whatever it is, it better be good. I was mid-exfoliation. Mid-exfoliation!(Fawn told them)
Fawn: So, as you know, I really learned my lesson about being smarter when it comes to dangerous animals.(The girls nodded)
TINKER BELL: We know. Rosetta: Oh, honey, you are doing great! IRIDESSA: Yeah, you're doing really good.(Fawn began)
Fawn: However...(Vidia rolled her eyes)
Vidia: And here we go.(Tink braced herself)
Tinker Bell: Fawn?(Fawn took a deep breath and moved aside)
Fawn: Ladies, say hello to Gruff!(The NeverBeast was hanging upside down in the tree behind Fawn. He dropped down from the tree branch)
IRIDESSA: (WHIMPERS) Oh, no.
Silvermist: Hi, Gruff.(Iridessa fainted)
Rosetta: What is that?(Fawn shrugged)
Fawn: I actually don't know. I've never seen any animal like him before. Ever.
Tinker Bell: What does he eat?
Fawn: Not fairies.(SIGHS OF RELIEF)
Silvermist: Well, that's a relief.
Fawn: So, I'm gonna take him to the Queen and show her he's harmless. Then I'll tell her how he destroyed Sunflower Meadow. Uh, well, how I destroyed... You know what? Maybe it was both of us.
Rosetta: You guys destroyed Sunflower Meadow?(Fawn corrected him)
Fawn: He did it. It was an accident, okay?(Gruff agreed and went back to work)
Vidia: And what do you call that?
Fawn: Again, I don't exactly know. But I'm working on it.(Rosetta frowned)
Rosetta: I'm hearing a lot of "I don't knows" in this conversation.
Iridessa: Uh, uncertainty makes me uncomfortable.
Fawn: Come on! Have I ever put you guys in danger?
Rosetta: Yes. Silvermist: Sure. Iridessa: Frequently. Tinker Bell: Yeah.
Rosetta: I still can't sit up straight.(Vidia waited a beat before saying)
Vidia: Hawk!(She was reminding them about Hannah, just to prove a point)
Fawn: Oh, yeah. The point is, I want to do the responsible thing this time. Just like I promised.(The girls looked at one another, then Tink turned to Fawn)
Tinker Bell: I'm guessing you already have a plan in mind?(She did)
Fawn: "Operation Gruff-a-Go-Go!"(EXT. PIXIE DUST TREE, PIXIE HOLLOW – NIGHT. A little while later, Fawn and the others had coated Gruff in pixie dust and flown him through the sky. Fawn sat on his head as the girls guided them toward the Pixie Dust Tree. Gruff landed softly)
(Fawn hopped)
Fawn: Open up, big guy.(She used his own spit to smooth his fur)
Rosetta: Ew! My skin is gonna break out.
Fawn: Okay, so I'll go in and set the stage. Then, on my signal, get him in position, and I'll bring her out. (to Gruff) Don't worry. She's gonna love you.(Fawn stepped away)
Fawn: (INHALES) Here I go! Model citizen, all the way!(The girls cheered her on)
TINKER BELL: Good luck! SILVERMIST: Be brave! ROSETTA: You can do it, sugar!(The girls watched Fawn as she entered the queen's chambers)
Vidia: She's doomed.(INT. QUEEN'S CHAMBERS, PIXIE DUST TREE – NIGHT. Fawn started speaking the minute she entered through the queen's door)
Fawn: Queen Clarion, I've been thinking about what you said. Which is why I'm here to tell you that...
(Clarion turned and Fawn saw that Nyx was there, too)
(Fawn changed her mind about telling the queen)
Fawn: I, uh... You know what? It can wait. I'll come back.
Clarion: Fawn, I'm glad you're here.
Nyx: So am I.
Clarion: Nyx has discovered a dangerous animal in Pixie Hollow. We could really use your expertise.(Outside the Pixie Dust Tree, Gruff was trying to get away from the girls and go to Fawn)
Rosetta: I am on the verge of perspiring over here. Do you see the signal?(Fawn subtly gestured at the window, trying to tell Tink to take Gruff and leave)
NYX: I had my first direct sighting earlier today. This is no ordinary predator we're talking about. It's bigger and faster than anything we've ever seen. I combed through every animal text in the library and came up empty. But it turns out, I was looking in the wrong pl...(Tink flashed an "I don't understand" gesture to Fawn)
(The moment Nyx and the queen looked away, Fawn exaggerated her gestures, until it looked like she was playing charades)
(Nyx noticed her wild gesticulations, but Fawn covered them up by pretending to do a dramatic yawn)
Fawn: (YAWNS) Hmm.(Outside, Tink realized what was going on)
Tinker Bell: (WHISPERING) Back to the forest!
Iridessa: What?
Tinker Bell: Mission abort! Mission abort!(Nyx made Fawn stay and listen as she told her about the ancient parchment and its predications)
Nyx: That comet that went by the other night, it was here before. 972 years ago. And each time it passes it wakes the creature.(She showed Fawn a paper fragment that had a drawing of the beast on it)
Clarion: What is this?
Nyx: This is the NeverBeast. Once the comet brings it out of hibernation, it starts building.(Another fragment showed Gruff's stone towers)
Nyx: Four rock towers. One in each season of Pixie Hollow.(She went on with another picture)
Nyx: Green clouds fill the sky. The creature transforms.(In the final drawing, lightning vibrated from the towers, destroying Pixie Hollow)
Nyx: And then, a lightning storm so powerful, it consumes all of Pixie Hollow.(Outside, Tink and the girls were doing their best to move Gruff)
TINKER BELL: Back home. ROSETTA: Come on, Gruff.Nyx pointed at the fragmented drawings, now pieced together to form a single ancient parchment: The Legend of the NeverBeast)
Nyx: If we don't act fast, this storm will destroy us all.
Fawn: How do we really know this is true and not just some crazy legend or misunderstanding?(The fairies pushed and pulled, but the beast was stubborn)
TINKER BELL: On three! One, two, three!(As Vidia grabbed his ear, Gruff inhaled sharply, getting a whiff of Tink's dust, before exploding in a sneeze)
(Nyx and Clarion turned at the sound. Fawn pretended it was her sneeze)
Fawn: Wooh! I should get that checked out.(NEVERBEAST GRUNTS)
(COUGHING)
Clarion: Hmm. That's odd.
Rosetta: Ew! My mouth was open!
Vidia: It's always open.
Tinker Bell: Guys! Guys, now is our chance! Quick!
Fawn: Look, animals do not control the weather.
Nyx: Ordinary animals don't.(Fawn held up the drawing)
Fawn: Furthermore, this creature, with the horns and the bat wings. (SCOFFS) An animal that big couldn't possibly fly under his own power.(She glanced out the window to see Gruff darting back and forth, out of control, as her friends chased him around)
(Nyx grabbed the parchment)
Nyx: Bottom line, either we capture the NeverBeast or life as we know it is over.
Clarion: Nyx, let's not do anything rash until we know more. See if you can locate the creature first.
Nyx: (SIGHS) Yes, Queen Clarion.
Fawn: I just don't want innocent animals to get hurt.(Nyx turned to Fawn)
Nyx: And I don't want innocent fairies to get hurt. I'm not the enemy here.(The queen stepped between them)
Clarion: Both of you are conscientious and talented fairies. And I trust you, both of you, to do what's right for Pixie Hollow.(Nyx stood straighter. Fawn tightened her jaw. They both were determined to do things their own way)
(Outside the queen's chamber, Nyx's scouts waited)
Fury: What's the word?
Nyx: She trusts me to do the right thing.
Chase: Which is?
Nyx: (without hesitation) We go after it at dawn.(EXT. SUMMER TOWER – NIGHT. That night, Gruff floated through the sky, pixie dust trailing behind him as he slowly descended)
(Fawn caught up)
FAWN: What happened? You were supposed to get him out of here.
Rosetta: Oh, we tried, sug. Giant thing wouldn't budge.
Tinker Bell: I think he didn't want to leave you.(Fawn stroked the beast)
Fawn: I missed you too, Gruff.(Vidia interrupted)
Vidia: Sorry to break whatever this is up. But what happened to doing the right thing?
Fawn: Nyx got there first.
Iridessa: And?(Fawn flew up and sat on Gruff's nose)
Fawn: And... (SIGHS) Nyx found this harebrained legend about a creature called the "NeverBeast" who builds rock towers and shoots lightning to destroy Pixie Hollow. So now she thinks he's some kind of monster.(The girls' eyes widened)
Fawn: I know. Crazy, right?(But it was clear the girls believed Nyx)
Vidia: (CHUCKLES) Well, early day tomorrow.
Iridessa: Oh. Am I tired!
Silvermist: (missed a spot) Really? I'm wide awake.
Rosetta: (grabbed her) (CHUCKLES) Bye-bye, now.(Fawn shook her head at them)
Fawn: Come on, guys. You don't really think any of that stuff is true.(But they did)
Fawn: It's just, I know he's not what they say he is.
Tinker Bell: Even if you're right, it's not safe for him here.(Fawn thought about Tink's words)

(Nick subtly touches Bellwether's wool puff)
Nick: (mouths, to Hopps) (WHISPERS) So fluffy!
Judy: Hey!
Nick: Sheep never let me get this close.
Judy: You can't just touch a sheep's wool!
Nick: It's like cotton candy. Judy: Stop it!(Judy swats Nick, but accidentally hits Bellwether's puff)
Bellwether: Where to?
Judy: Uh, Rainforest District. Vine and Tujunga.(ANGLE ON the computer screen)
BELLWETHER: There. Traffic cams for the whole city. Oh, this is so exciting, actually! (STAMMERS) I never get to do anything this important.
Judy: 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. (then, cheerfully) But he did give me that nice mug.(She motions to a mug that reads World's Greatest
JUDY: Oh. BELLWETHER: Hmm.
Feels good to be appreciated.
LIONHEART: (INTERCOM) Smell-wether!(Bellwether cringes)
Bellwether: Ugh. 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. (pressing intercom button) Yes, sir?
Lionheart: (INTERCOM) I thought you were going to cancel my afternoon!
Bellwether: Oh, dear. I better go. (to Hopps, while leaving) Let me know what you find. It was really nice for me to be...
Lionheart: (INTERCOM) While we're young, Smell-wether.(Bellwether finally opens her big heavy door and leaves)
Nick: You think when she goes to sleep she counts herself?
Judy: Oh, shush.__________
Yummo: Let's rope him!
Wickersham: Let's cage him!
Horton: No!(HORTON WHIMPERING)
Kangaroo: Stop!
Horton: (NERVOUS CHUCKLE) Hey, fellas. Good to see you. All at once. You look really great as a horde.
Kangaroo: Horton, Horton, Horton. Look at that mess you've created for yourself. All this hullabaloo over a silly little flower.
Horton: It's a speck.(INT. THE GREENHOUSE CAR – CONTINOUS. They both see the rows of night howlers)
Judy: The weasel wasn't lying.
Nick: Yeah, it looks like old Doug's cornered the market on Night Howlers.(Click! A Door opens off screen! They quickly hide under a desk as a TOUGH SHEEP LABWORKER enters)
(He goes through the process of harvesting the pollen, eventually producing a small, blue paint ball pellet of night howler toxin. Nick and Hopps watch it all)
Kangaroo: Right. I mean, it's silly, really all this talk of roping you and caging you, and, well...
Kangaroo: we don't need to go into the details. The point is, this angry mob, all the trouble you're in. It can all go away.(ALL GROAN DISAPPOINTEDLY)
Horton: Really?
Kangaroo: Of course. All you have to do is admit to everyone that there are no little people living on that speck. That you were wrong and I was right.
Kangaroo: You do that, and things can go right back to the way they were. But, if you don't, you're going to have to pay the price.-(GASPS) -(CROWD CHORTLING)

(EXT. SCOUT HEADQUARTERS – NIGHT/DAY. Silvermist and Tink went with Fawn to the scout headquarters)
FAWN: Hang tight, Gruff! We're getting you out of here!(They tried to let Gruff go, but the net wouldn't budge)
Tinker Bell: We need help.
Fawn: Pull harder!(Just then, Rosetta, Iridessa, and Vidia arrived)
Rosetta: Oh, for goodness' sake, there is an easier way to do this.(They shook dust over the net)
Fawn: Thank you.(The net rose)
Fawn: Go! Take cover! Come on, Gruff!(Gruff didn't seem to see her)
Fawn: Gruff, let's go!(LIGHTNING CRACKLING)
Fawn: Gruff?(GROWLS SOFTLY)
Tinker Bell: Come on, Fawn! Rosetta: Get out of there!
Vidia: Life or death moment, here!(Fawn was worried when lightning struck head nearby)
FAWN: Listen to me. You're having a reaction to the Nightshade.(Gruff picked up her scent, but his eyes were clouded. He could, however, see the glow of her pixie dust)
Fawn: You can see my glow!(She reached out and rubbed his nose)
Fawn: Don't worry, Gruff. I'm gonna get you out of here.(Lightning exploded through the sky)
(Gruff roared and knocked Fawn away as a bolt of lightning struck him dead-on!)
(As the electricity hit Gruff, raw patches on his back began to expand and his back began to expand and his jointed ribs unfolded. A spidery membrane stretched over the beast's back, between his shoulders, then unfurled into giant wings!)
Rosetta: Well, I did not see that coming.(Taking a moment to think about what she was seeing...)
FAWN: Nyx got it backwards. He's not here to destroy us. The towers, they draw in the lightning, so he can collect it! It's what he's been preparing for the whole time!(Gruff grunted toward Fawn)
(INT. GREENHOUSE CAR – CONTINOUS. The Sheep's phone RINGS)
Doug: (into phone) You got Doug here. What's the mark? Cheetah in Sahara Square. Got it.(The Sheep loads a gun, cocks it. We see a MAP with pictures of a various animal targets)
Doug: (into phone) You serious? Yeah, I know they're fast. I can hit him. Listen, I hit a tiny little otter through the open window of a moving car.(Hearing this, the pieces of the puzzle start falling into place for Hopps. She looks up at the picture of Otterton– we FLASHBACK to see Doug hitting him with a serum pellet. Then Hopps looks at Manchas's picture– we FLASHBACK to that)
DOUG: (into phone) Yeah, I'll buzz you when it's done. Or you'll see it on the news. You know, whichever comes first.(BAM, BAM, BAM! The goons have returned)
JESSE: Hey, Doug, open up! We've got your latte.
Doug: (into phone) All right, Woolter and Jesse are back, so I'm leaving now. Out.(Hopps looks around, what is she going to do. As Doug goes to the door to unlock it, Hopps creeps out of their hiding spot)
Nick: (WHISPERING) Hey. Where are you going? Get back here! What are you doing? He's gonna see you! What are you looking at? Hey! Whatever you're thinking, stop thinking it. Carrots! Carrots!(EXT. SCOUT HEADQUARTERS – NIGHT/DAY. She told her friends)
Fawn: (to Gruff) I understand. (to her friends) We're going to the towers.
Iridessa: No! Tinker Bell: It's too dangerous.(Fawn knew she was right this time)
Fawn: For once, my head and heart, they're actually telling me to do the same thing.
TINKER BELL: Fawn, you can't!
Fawn: It's okay. That said, if things don't go well, Sil, you can have my rock collection.
Silvermist: (GASPS) Oh.
Horton: Huh. So I just have to say it isn't true?Hmm.
Horton: Go ahead. Rope me, cage me. Do whatever you want. But there are people on this speck. And they have a Mayor, who has 96 daughters and one son name JoJo who all share a bathroom, whatever that is.ALL: Ooh! Ah!
Horton: And even though you can't hear or see them at all, (INFANT SIGHS) a person's a person, no matter how small.-(ANIMALS MURMURING) -Huh? Hmm?
Kangaroo: That was beautiful, Horton. Rope him! Cage him!(ALL GROWL)
Kangaroo: And burn that speck in a pot of boiling Beezlenut oil!Hmm.
(CROWD GASPING)
Mayor: They don't believe we're here.
Mayor: We've got to make some noise! We are here! We are here! We are here!
Whos: (SCATTERED) We are here. We are here. We are here.
Whos: We are here! We are here!
Mayor: Come on!
Whos: (OTHERS JOINING IN) We are here! We are here!
Mayor: Everybody!
Whos: We are here! We are here!
Mayor: We are here! We are here! We are here!
DOUG: It better have the extra foam this time.(BAM! Hopps kicks Woolter in the back, knocking him into the other two Thugs. Hopps locks the door)
JESSE: Hey! Open up!(The Thugs start banging on the doors)
Nick: What are you doing? You just trapped us in here.
Judy: We need to get this evidence to the ZPD!(Nick picks up the case)
Nick: Okay. Great! Here it is. Got it!
Judy: No. All of it!
Nick: Wait, what?(ALL CHORTLING)
-(OIL BUBBLING) -(WICKERSHAM GRUNTS)
(SIZZLES)
Kangaroo: This will teach you not to make up stories about people on specks!(WHOS CHANTING MUFFLY)
Horton: Listen. There they are!
Rope him!
Cage him!
Horton: It's not working. I can hear you. But, their ears aren't strong enough.
Mayor: We need to be louder! Get every Who to make noise! Everyone!
Whos: (CHANTING LOUDLY) We are here! We are here! We are here!
Mayor: JoJo, where are you going?
Mayor: We need every voice, JoJo!
Horton: You need to make some noise down there, or we all be destroyed!(INT. THE GREENHOUSE CAR – CONTINOUS. Hopps rushes to the control room, tries to start the engine)
Nick: Oh, great, you're a conductor now, huh? Hey. Listen. It would take a miracle to get this rust-bucket going.(The train starts moving)
Nick: Well. Hallelujah.(INT. TRAIN TRACKS – SAME)
Doug: (on the phone) We kinda got a situation at the lab. (noticing train) It just got worse!(Doug and his minions race after the train)
(Fawn went before Gruff to lead the way)
Fawn: All right, big guy. Just follow my glow.(GRUNTS)
NARRATOR: The Mayor grabbed the tom-tom and started to smack it.-(SINGING HIGH NOTE) -(HORNS PLAYING)
Narrator: And all over Who-ville, they whooped up all racket.(LOUD HORN)
Narrator: They rattled tin kettles, they beat on brass pans. On garbage pail tops, and old cranberry cans. They blew on bazookas and blasted great toots. On clarinets, oom-pahs, and boom-pahs and flutes.-(PLAYING FLUTE) -(HORNS PLAYING)
(CROWD CHANTING)
Mayor: There!
WHOS: (CHANTING) We are here! We are here!
Mayor: Can they hear us now?(INT. SUBWAY CAR – SAME. Nick and Hopps race away, feeling fairly confident)
NICK: Mission accomplished. Would it be premature for me to do a little victory toot-toot?
Judy: All right. One toot-toot.(Nick blows the train whistle)
Nick: Well, I can cross that off the bucket list.
Horton: Listen, please! It's the most beautiful thing ever.
Yummo: I don't hear nothin'!(SCREECHES)
Horton: I don't think so. But, keep trying! (STRAINING) I'll never give in!-(LOUD GRUNT) -(MONKEYS STRAINING)
