Judy: Pauley? You have to let me see Mister Big.
Pauley: No one sees Mister Big now Hopps. No one.
Judy: Pauley....please....please....I know what he's about to do and I'm begging you as Angelica's friend....please let me talk to him.
Pauley: Didn't you get the news Hopps? Bugsy Moran was hit just as we were. The Cartage Company got slaughtered. Right now Moran's probably blaming the boss and the boss blames Moran. It's too late for talking. Begging my French kid but we're going to fricassee that hare, were gonna cut up that Bugs Bunny, We're gonna anvil that dirty cotton tail'd bastard. Now.....get back in your little toy car and go away.

Pauley: Damn you, you crazy cotton tail. Alright......alright......but just you!
Scene: Pauley looks at the other Bear.
Pauley: You keep the fox in that car....he so much as twitches? Shoot his knee caps out.

Scene: Nick watches as Pauley takes Judy through the door.
Scene Shift
Scene Location: Mister Big's office
Scene: We see Judy coming slowly through the door as Pauley stays outside. She approaches Mister Big's desk where the old Shrew is sobbing and scratching at the desk top. A picture of Angelica and the children are before him. Judy comes up to the desk and pauses for a moment before reaching out, carefully scoops Mister Big up with her hands and rubs her tear soaked face on him.
Scene: Mister Big stands up in Judy's hands and gently strokes her face.
Mister Big: Bless you my child, but if you come in hopes that your pure display of love and sympathy would change my decision....I am sorry....
Note: Mister Big speaks in Italian with subtitles as he motions with "Godfather" like hand waving and gesturing....
"Il significato della mia vita è finito. C'è ora ma solo vendetta."
The meaning of my life is gone. There is now but only vendetta.
"Porterò la rabbia della guerra nel mio cuore sulla città."
I will bring the rage of war in my heart upon the city.
"Niente lo spegnerà se non la morte del bastardo"
Nothing shall quench it but the death of the bastard
"Tutto a modo mio morirà e brucerà all'inferno."
All in my way shall die and burn in hell.
Scene: Judy shakes her head as she allows Mister Big to walk off her hands. She clasps them in desperate prayer...
Judy: No....oh please god don't do this Mister Big.....don't do this....
Mister Big: Do you wish to be the first to die Officer Hopps? Do you wish to test my absolution? My affirmation? My resolve? It is done....the city burns or the bastard dies but I will have justice for my loved ones.
Judy: I cry for your daughter and your grand children who can not speak! Angelica would be here right now...right in your face....begging you not to do this....and you know it! What good will come from it? What honor will they gain? Please.... Please I beg you for them......don't do this.....please? Give us a chance to give you justice.......please for dear god's sake.......please......please........Think of what Angelica would say to you now.....I beg you.....
Scene: Mister Big turns to the picture and puts his hand on it for a moment.
Mister Big: Alright then....Alright.....only because you were a good friend to my daughter do I give this grace. But only for 24 hours Hopps.....24 hours......if you fail to give me justice...I swear I will unleash a hell this city has not known before. If you try to stop me then? Both you and Wilde will die and I promise you...you will not die pleasently. Don't......fail......me......
Scene: Judy kisses Mister Big's hand then grabs the picture and kisses it as she sobs.
Mister Big: God go with you my child.....and take care.

Scene Shift
Scene Location: Nick's apartment house
Time: early evening
Scene: We see Nick and Judy get out of their cruiser and walk up to Nick's apartment. They walk inside....
Judy: We better get some rest....sigh....use what time we can to try and relax and come up with some ideas.
Nick: Yeah......sure......
Scene: Nick flicks on his television. News is playing of all that's been happening and the city counsel's impending debate to initiate the Castle Bravo Martial Law plan. Nick gets angry, shuts off the television and chucks the remote against a wall where it shatters. Judy doesn't say anything as she watches Nick walk to a sort of awards display he has and he picks up a little metal dog muzzle...
Nick: I doubt you ever noticed this.
Judy: No....I try hard not to be pry-ish.
Nick: This? This was the muzzle those bullies strapped to my puss when I wanted to be a scout. You know how much fear this caused me? How much humiliation that I had to throw my underwear away to keep my mom from seeing I had peed myself? And to think jerks like that fat porker Odem Plenty wants to put me in one of these torture devices again?
Scene: Nick puts the muzzle back on the table where he looks at it.
Nick: 24 hours....in 24 hours we'll have a gang war between Mister Big and Bugsy Moran. Plenty will have what he always wanted...guys like me in a cage cringing in fear....
Scene: Nick flops into a chair.
Nick: Carrots? Between being scared out of my whits, ticked off and torn three ways to Sunday over the past few days....I can't think strait. I.....can't....might as well just throw my badge in the damn trash and run for the hills because everything I've come to care about is about to be destroyed and I have no way or no idea of how to stop it!
Scene: Judy takes a moment to look at Nick, then sighs and gives a slight smile.
Judy: Do you know what my Dad would say if he were here Nick?
Nick: Get away from that fox Judy, he's unstable.
Scene: Nick grabs his joke can of fox spray.
Nick: Give me a good blast.
Judy: Nick? My Dad would say....when life gives you the squeeze, you need a hug and right now you need a serious hug. Better yet? You need some expert stress relief. Stand up?
Nick: What?
Scene: Judy grabs Nick's hands.
Judy: I said....stand up.
Scene: Nick stands up.
Judy: Now take your clothes off.
Nick: What?
Judy: I Didn't rabbit stutter Nick....take the clothes off....
Scene: Judy walks to the bathroom and comes out with a towel.
Judy: Nick? Your clothes aren't off?
Nick: Carrots? I'm not in the mood for any "interspecies relations" right now, certainly not right now especilly....
Scene: Judy snatches Nick's shirt and just pulls it off.
Nick: What are you doing?!
Judy: Do you want me to get rough with you? Clothes off!
Nick: Well.....rough might be fun.
Scene: Judy pulls her fox taiser.
Nick: All right! Sheesh! Demanding aren't we?
Scene: Nick throws his pants and wraps the towel around his waist.
Judy: Now.....lay down on the floor.
Scene: Nick lays down on his stomach as Judy pulls the thick sock pads off her rabbit feet.
Nick: What.....are you plotting?
Scene: Judy flexes and moves her feet around.
Judy: I'm going to introduce you to an old family remedy for stress and tight muscles called "The Irish Jack Rabbit Stomp" I used to do it when my father threw his back out working the planting fields on the farm.
Nick: You're......going......to......
Judy: Yeah....I'm going to use you for a dance floor. Trust me, when I get done with this? You'll have to be poured into a glass to get you up. But first?
Scene: Judy walks to Nick's liquier case, grabs a bottle of old "CroMolly Sheep Skin" and pours a little in a glass....
Judy: You need some good old medication.
Scene: Judy helps Nick to swallow the glass of booze then walks to the radio to find some music. She finds a rolling beat of music on an Irish music station.
Judy: Perfect.
Scene: Judy walks up to Nick, skips onto his back and begins to set herself into the mood as the music begins to stir up. She has her arms stretched out to the sides, her fists clenched, a big grin on her face, her eyes closed and her arms are moving up and down with the music.
(Music: The Irish Rovers "Finnigan's Wake")
Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin Street
A gentle Irishman, mighty odd
He'd a beautiful brogue so rich and sweet
And to rise in the world he carried a hod
You see he'd a sort of the tipp' lin' way
With the love of the liquor, poor Tim was born
And to help him on with his work each day
He'd a drop of the craythur every morn
Whack fol the da, now, dance to your partner
Welt the floor your trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I tell you
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake
One mornin' Tim was rather full
His head felt heavy, which made him shake
He fell from the ladder and he broke his skull
And they carried him home his corpse to wake
They rolled him up in a nice clean sheet
And laid him out upon the bed
With a gallon of whiskey at his feet
And a barrel of porter at his head
Whack fol the da, now, dance to your partner
Welt the floor your trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I tell you
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake
His friends assembled at the wake
And Mrs. Finnegan called for lunch
First they brought in tay and cake
Then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch
Biddy O'Brien began to cry
"Such a nice clean corpse did you ever see?
Tim Mavourneen why did you die?"
"Arrah hold your gob" said Paddy McGee
Whack fol the da, now, dance to your partner
Welt the floor your trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I tell you
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake
Then Maggie O'Connor took up the job
"O Biddy, " says she "you're wrong I'm sure"
Biddy gave her a belt in the gob
And left her sprawling on the floor
Then the war did soon engage
It was woman to woman and man to man
Shillelagh law was all the rage
And a row and a ruction soon began
Then Mickey Maloney raised his head
When a bucket of whiskey flew at him
It missed and falling on the bed
The liquor scattered over Tim
Tim revives, see how he rises
Timothy rising from the bed
Said "Whirl your whiskey around like blazes
Thundering Jesus, do you think I'm dead?"
Whack fol the da, now, dance to your partner
Welt the floor your trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I tell you
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake
Scene: As the singing begins, Judy is off Irish Jig dancing all over Nick's back.
Nick: Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
Judy: Relax and breath Nick!
Nick: Easy for you too say Hopps! You're the one dancing your size ten cloud hoppers on my back!
Judy: You should know better than to insult me!
Nick:Owwwwwwwww! Ouch! Ouch! Are you trying to kill me Carrots!
Judy:It'll feel better soon, trust me!
Scene: The camera is rolling around and over Nick and Judy as she dances and works her feet thumping and twisting around Nick's back. At one point, Judy is dancing with Nick's bushy tail and soon the poor stressed out fox is looking loose as taffy, his tongue sticking out from his mouth and his face a look of relaxed happiness.
Judy: Wooo Wooo! Yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaa! Nick? You alright?
Nick: Mmmmmmmm........
Judy: I thought so.
Scene: Judy dances over Nick's shoulders and slowly rubs his head during a slow pause in the beat. When it picks up again, she's off with the final flourish. It's a rabbit River Dance with Judy dawning an Irish Skally Cap and a traditional Irish pipe in her mouth.
Author's comment: You can't have cops without something Irish in the story.
Scene: The music finishes and Judy hops off Nick's back and stoops down as she stands aside him...
Judy: Nick?
Scene: Nick is looking content with a smile on his face as he's passed out and sleeping. Judy gets him into his bed and doesn't say anything as she gives him a kiss and pets his head before leaving the bedroom and flipping the light out.
Time: Hours later.....9pm.
Scene: Judy is sleeping in a recliner when Nick comes out of his bed room and shakes her...
Nick: Carrots? Carrots!
Judy: Huh? Nick! Get some clothes on!
Scene: Nick snatches a paper doily off the nearby coffee table.
Nick: I don't know exactly what you did Fluff? But wow! I mean....ugh! We gotta get cracking on this like right now before I forget it!
Scene: Nick grabs Judy by a hand and pulls her along into the kitchen.
Nick: Hear me out ok?
Judy: I'd rather not stand here and look at your furry naked butt.
Nick: Stop drooling over my tail and look at this eraser board?
Scene: Nick points out what he's written....
Nick: The Kinnisons? Rare. The train conductor? Rare. Mister Apple Groves? Rare. The Polar Bears who work for Mister Big? Rare. Guess who else is Rare?
Judy: You....in clothes?
Scene: Nick smirks.
Nick: No....Bugsy Moran...One of only two existing Southern Welsh March Hares in all Zootopia. Our suspect is targeting extremely rare animals in Zootopia. If it has anything to do with Bugsy or Mister Big or not? We don't know for certain.
Scene: Nick grabs his cell phone.
Nick: Here's how we can find out.
Scene: Judy looks at the phone.
Judy: Seriously?
Nick: She's super rare as in she's the only one of her kind and she's coming to Zootopia tomorrow morning. We...you and I...have to get my crazy scheme ready for lift up by 8am which means? We got tons of phone calls to do and some people to see like......
Scene: Nick pulls out a black note book and gives half to Judy.
Nick: Start calling off this part of the book and I'll tell you my plan as we go. Wait? I forgot....your plan...."snick snick"......"kiss"......Oh you're
such a smart little bunny.....With such magical feet.
Scene: Judy looks at her feet and contorts her face....
Judy: I'm seriously in the wrong line of work.
