NICK WILDE & JUDY HOPPS ZOOTOPIA 2 (2025) “I don't care that we're different. You know? What I care about... is you. I care about you. Okay? And I didn't say it. I should've said it, but I didn't, because… Well… 'cause I am an emotionally insecure source of your discomfort, who is not good at expressing his feelings. Probably because I've been on my own my whole life. It's not an excuse, it's just… It's why instead of telling you that you're the best thing that ever happened to me, I make jokes about your ears, and I tell you that you try too hard when, you know, the truth is I just don't want you to get hurt, because… Because no one else in the world matters more to me than you do.”

"Where did you get it, anyway?" I asked.

"It was my aunt's," she said. "But I think it's been in the family a long time."

"It's a funny choice, a mockingjay," I said. "I mean, because of what happened in the rebellion. With the jabberjays backfiring on the Capitol and all."

...........

"But mockingjays were never a weapon," said Madge. "They're just songbirds. Right?"

"Yeah, I guess so," I said. But it's not true. A mockingbird is just a songbird. A mockingjay is a creature the Capitol never intended to exist. They hadn't counted on the highly controlled jabberjay having the brains to adapt to the wild, to pass on its genetic code, to thrive in a new form. They hadn't anticipated its will to live.

Catching Fire, Chapter 7
