**Title:** The Wilde Doppelganger **FADE IN:** EXT. ZOOTOPIA CENTRAL SQUARE - DAY **JUDY HOPPS,** a spirited rabbit officer, is patrolling the bustling square with **NICK WILDE,** the charming fox and her partner. They bicker like an old married couple. JUDY: What are the odds we catch another donut thief today? NICK: What are the odds you'll let me enjoy a donut in peace? Suddenly, they both FREEZE, eyes widening. Across the square is an identical NICK WILDE, snacking on a donut and eyeing a jewelry store. They lock eyes, and JUDY's jaw drops. **INTRODUCE: IMPOSTOR NICK WILDE,** a dapper fox who is Nick's doppelganger. DOUBLE NICK: (waves nonchalantly) How's it going? Name's Nick. Nick Wilde. NICK: (wary) You've got to be kidding me... JUDY: (pointing) Nick, do you have a twin brother or something? NICK: No, but I think I have a twin headache now. The two foxes CIRCLE each other while JUDY observes, amused. **CUT TO:** INT. ZPD INTERROGATION ROOM - DAY JUDY interviews IMPOSTOR NICK. They sit across from one another. JUDY: So, Mr. Wilde, or should I say, 'the other Mr. Wilde,' tell us about yourself. DOUBLE NICK: Well, like the other charming rascal, I too enjoy the finer things in life. Jazz, fast cars, and a darn good hustle. JUDY: (frowning) And where were you at the time of the jewelry store robbery last Tuesday? DOUBLE NICK: Feeding pigeons near City Hall with... (pointing to NICK) him! NICK: (entering, frustrated) Can confirm, unfortunately. We exchanged awkward looks and breadcrumbs. **CUT TO:** EXT. ZOOTOWN - DAY JUDY and NICK escort DOUBLE NICK through the city but are constantly stopped by neighbors and friends greeting the wrong Nick. FLASH, the sloth, approaches. FLASH: Nick, my man! Your prank at the DMV, hilarious! But... why would you ticket your own car? DOUBLE NICK: (winks at JUDY and NICK) I'm unpredictable like that. Right, partner? JUDY: (barely containing laughter) Oh, yes, just a regular joker. **CUT TO:** INT. ZPD PRECINCT - DAY The trio meet **CHIEF BOGO,** the buffalo chief of police. He's HOLDING two fine-printed files, squinting at them. BOGO: (to IMPOSTOR NICK) So you're claiming that your life just... coincidentally mirrors Officer Wilde's? DOUBLE NICK: (gleeful) Yep! Even the part where my mother sold pawpsicles. Must be fate! NICK: (disgruntled) You're telling me there's another 'Wilde' out there that makes the same dashing mistakes I do? JUDY: (giggling) Oh, we're taking full advantage of this! **CUT TO:** EXT. ZOOTOPIA OPERA HOUSE - NIGHT JUDY uses DOUBLE NICK as bait for a sting operation on a notorious crime boss, **MR. BIG.** They're all dressed to the nines. JUDY: (to DOUBLE NICK) Just stay put and act like you're cutting a shady deal. DOUBLE NICK: (eating a shrimp) And if things go south? NICK: (grumbling) We'll jump in and save your tail. It's what we do. Double Nick play-acts a deal. MR. BIG approaches, furrowing his brow at the familiar fox. MR. BIG: Nick Wilde, you've got some nerve! DOUBLE NICK: (inhales sharply) The name's... Wilde. Nick Wilde. Judy and real Nick watch from the sidelines. They SNICKER. JUDY: (whispering) He's pretty good. NICK: (whispering) Yeah, it's like looking into a very handsome mirror. A BEAT. JUDY: (whispering) Don't push it. The real Nick SMIRKS, moving in for the arrest as DOUBLE NICK winks at them from across the room. **FADE TO BLACK.** **THE END.**
