Nick feels he has satisfied his obligation to Judy by helping her find a tip about the limo that picked up Otteron at the Mystic Oasis, however Judy presses Nick to help her run a license plate which frustrates Nick so that he again makes sure to be a drag on her investigation by taking her to the DMV where his friend, a sloth, works and enjoys Judy's mounting frustration at Flash's unhurried pace. So while he "helps" by telling Judy that the last place he saw Otterton was at the Mystic Oasis, he neglects to warn her that it's a nudist retreat and takes full enjoyment at her discomfort. Nick respects that Judy out-hustled him but is still quite annoyed and although he tags along with Judy, he is determined to make his "assistance" as uncomfortable as possible. However, the next day Judy cleverly pulls a fast one on Nick by getting him to confess to unreported taxable income and is able to blackmail him into helping her with the Otterton investigation. When Judy discovers the scam, Nick easily deflects each charge she brings up to try and arrest him securing his feeling that she is nothing more that a "dumb bunny" meter maid. In their first encounter, Nick takes Judy as an idealistic but naïve officer who easily falls for his "Finnick is my son" hustle and he plays upon her good nature to have her pay for the Jumbo-Pop. Although they share mutual respect, they still partake in rounds of playful banter, innocently echoing their former rivalry. The two are seen spending time with one another, both during work, as in the scene where Judy and Nick are looking for the street racer, and after hours, in the ending Gazelle concert scene. Judy is able to fully admit this to Nick after she, herself, had performed acts of prejudice earlier in the film, being more concerned with proving her care for him than labeling herself progressive, exemplifying the strength of their relationship.īy the epilogue, Judy and Nick's relationship is healthier and stronger than ever. Her friendship with Nick is responsible for opening Judy's eyes to reality, showing that the world is not a perfect place where everyone gets along, and that prejudice is something that affects everyone, sometimes in unexpected ways, making it all the more important to call out bigotry and make real effort to right the wrongs that it causes. Once Nick explains his history and the reasoning behind his own bitterness to Judy, her views and opinions on the fox change drastically, and the two start to form a meaningful relationship built on mutual trust and understanding. This is repaid once Nick, after witnessing the bigotry Judy faces at the hands of her "peers", stands up for the rabbit and becomes a willing accomplice in her goal to not only find Otterton, but prove herself to Chief Bogo. She also unabashedly commends the fox when his own intelligence greatly assists their case, giving credit where it is due in spite of everything. She takes pleasure in getting her revenge by tricking him and simultaneously blackmailing him into aiding her in the Emmitt Otterton case, showing the two are bitter enemies at the start.ĭespite her annoyance with his cynicism and wise-cracks, Judy saves Nick's life during their first adventure, and when this is brought up by Nick himself, she simply reasons it to be part of her job as an officer showing that, despite their unfavorable history at the time, she is above treating him recklessly. Judy's Impression of Nick Īfter discovering Nick's reputation as a con artist, having been a pawn in one of his schemes, Judy grows a dislike towards him, and his bitter attitude towards the world and herself. It's important to discuss.” ― Josie Trinidad This article is about Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde's relationship.
