You never let them see that they get to you. So, things do get to you? I mean, not anymore, but I was small and emotionally unbalanced like you once. Our heart. No, it's true. I think I was eight or maybe nine and all I wanted to do was join the Junior Ranger Scouts. So, my mom scraped together enough money to buy me a brand new uniform because by God I was gonna fit in. Even if I was the only predator in the troop, the only fox. Okay, Nick. I was gonna be part of a pack. Ready for initiation? Yeah. Pretty much born ready. I was so proud. Okay, now raise your right paw and deliver the oath. I, Nicholas Wilde, promise to be brave, loyal, helpful and trustworthy. Even though you're a fox. What? No! No! What are you doing rolling inside? No! Please tell me whether I do wrong or not. If you thought we would ever trust a fox without a muzzle, you're even dower than you look. Are you gonna cry? I learned two things that day. One, I was never gonna let anyone see that they got to me. And two? If the world's only gonna see a fox as shifty and untrustworthy, there's no point in trying to be anything else. Nick, you are so much more than that. Boy, that traffic down there. How about we go out to check and traffic central? Shark! How the things looking on the jam cams! Nick, I'm glad you told me. The jam cams. Seriously? It's okay. There are traffic cameras everywhere, all over the canopy. Whatever happened to that jaguar. The traffic cams were gutted! Bingo! Pretty sneaky, slick. However, if you didn't have access to the system before, I doubt Chief Buffalo Bud is gonna let you into it now. No. But I have a friend at City Hall who might. Sir, if we could just review these very important... Sir? I'm so sorry, sir! Okay, I heard you, Bellweather. Just take care of it. Please. And clear my afternoon. I'm going out. Oh no, but sir, you do have a meeting with her. It's engraving. Sir, I can just do... Oh, my gosh. Assistant Mayor, Bellweather, we need your help. We just need to get into the traffic cam database.
