Judy Hopps: [Judy rings Manchas's doorbell] Mr. Manchas? Judy Hopps, ZPD. We just want to know what happened to Emmitt Otterton.

Mr. Manchas: [Manchas slightly opens his door] You... should be asking... what happened to me.

Nick Wilde: Whoa! Uh, a teensy otter did... that?

Judy Hopps: [whispers] What happened?

Mr. Manchas: He... was an animal!

Mr. Manchas: [flashback to Manchas's limo] Down... on all fours... he was a savage!

Mr. Manchas: [Emmitt growls and attacks Manchas inside the limo; Manchas escapes the limo, gasping in fear; the flashback ends] There was no warning, he just kept yelling about the Night Howlers. Over and over, the Night Howlers!

Nick Wilde: So... you know... about the Night Howlers, too? Good, good, good. Because the Night Howlers are exactly what we are here to talk about. Right?

Judy Hopps: Yup. So, uh... so you just open the door... and tell us what you know... and we will tell you what we know... okay?

Mr. Manchas: Okay.

[Manchas closes his door]

Judy Hopps: [to Nick] Clever fox.

Judy Hopps: [Manchas re-opens his door, making struggling groans; Judy and Nick enter his apartment] Mr. Manchas?

Nick Wilde: Buddy?

Judy Hopps: Are you... okay?

[Manchas is prowling about his apartment on all four paws, growling]

Judy Hopps: Run, run!

[Judy and Nick leave, with Manchas chasing after them]

Jerry Jumbeaux Jr.: Listen, I don't know what you're doing skulking around during daylight hours, but I don't want any trouble in here, so hit the road.

Nick Wilde: I'm not looking for any trouble either, sir. I simply want to buy a Jumbo Pop... for my little boy. You want the red or the blue, pal?

[Finnick points at the red Jumbo Pop]

Judy Hopps: Aw, I'm such a...

Jerry Jumbeaux Jr.: Oh come on, kid. Back up. Listen buddy, what, there aren't any fox ice cream joints in your part of town?

Nick Wilde: Uh, no no, there are, there are. It's just, my boy, this goofy little stinker, he loves all things elephant, wants to be one when he grows up.

[Finnick squeaks]

Nick Wilde: Is that adorable?

Judy Hopps: Oh.

Nick Wilde: Who the heck am I to crush his little dreams, huh, right?

Jerry Jumbeaux Jr.: Look, you probably can't read, fox, but the sign says "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone." So beat it!

Elephant patron: You're holding up the line.

[Finnick cries and sniffles]

Judy Hopps: Hello? Excuse me.

Jerry Jumbeaux Jr.: Hey, you're gonna have to wait your turn like everyone else, meter maid.

Judy Hopps: Actually, I'm an officer. Just had a quick question: Are your customers aware they're getting snot and mucus with their cookies and cream?

[Two elephants spit out the ice cream they were just eating]

Jerry Jumbeaux Jr.: What are you talking about?

Judy Hopps: Well, I don't want to cause you any trouble, but I believe scooping ice cream with an ungloved trunk is a Class 3 health code violation... which is kind of a big deal, heh.

[the other employee drops the scoop of ice cream]

Judy Hopps: Of course, I could let you off with a warning, if you were to glove those trunks, and, I don't know... finish selling this nice dad and his son a... what was it?

Nick Wilde: A Jumbo Pop, please.

Judy Hopps: A Jumbo Pop.

[Finnick squeaks with relief]

Jerry Jumbeaux Jr.: [sighs with a groan] $15.

Nick Wilde: Thank you so much, thank you. Oh no, are you kidding me? I don't have my wallet, heh heh. I'd lose my head if it weren't attached to my neck.

Finnick: That's the truth.

Nick Wilde: Oh boy, I'm sorry, pal, got to be about the worst birthday ever. Please don't be mad at me. Thanks anyway.

Judy Hopps: [Judy puts money on the counter, buying a Jumbo Pop for Nick and Finnick] Keep the change.
