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.
