[English]

[music]

[music] Breathe it in.

Now, if any reptile would [music] know

the secret of that book and why the

snake wants it, [screaming]

it's my old lizard friend, Jesus. Why

would a lizard hide here?

Well, when Zootopia was founded, the

whole neighborhood got cut off from the

rest of the town. Kind of on their own

here. Yeah, it's probably why reptiles

[music] like it. They can just do their

thing. Plus, it's the only place in town

you can get away with wearing a shirt

and no pants.

>> Love and tour time with wood chuckles.

Great call.

>> We need her.

>> Oh, yeah. Like a hole in the head. Bad

timing.

>> Okay. To get to Jesus's hideout, you got

to take a ferry. Just let me handle the

locals. Water folk tend to be a little

standoffish around Landesies.

>> Well, I've been hustling the streets

since I was 12. Think I can handle a

juggling seal.

>> Oh, sea lion. He's not from around here.

>> But coin's a coin.

>> Oh, no. Change is a choking hazard.

>> Well, honest mistake. [laughter]

>> DO NOT DO THAT.

>> Let's let Nibbles handle this. Thank

you, Judith. Conversing with these

beautiful sea creatures is like talking

to anyone a little different. Just takes

open and respectful communication.

[bell]

>> Hey Bub. Hey B. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

>> Hey. Hey. Hey. Bubby. Bub.

>> Hey Bub. Hey. Hey. Bub.

>> Hey Bub.

>> Cus. Yep.

>> And now we leave town.

>> Thank you [music] for this.

>> Happy anniversary. Oh, it's your

anniversary.

>> This is the night. It's a beautiful

night and we call [singing] it Bell.

[music]

[snorts]

How are we going to find them now?

Thanks, Seal. [screaming]

>> Just a little farther. Hey Jesus, and

all the answers you'll ever need are

right here at the end of this very

scary, dark hallway.

>> Boy, this is so much better than sitting

on a beach on Outback Island sipping

pina koalas. H we are not skipping town

when there is an innocent snake out

there who needs us.

>> He's got help. His motorcycle buddy.

>> You are acting weird. What is your

problem?

>> Well, A, you railroaded me. And B, if

you must know, I have an aversion to

reptiles. [laughter]

>> What?

>> Oh, is my discomfort hilarious to you?

No, you're I'm sorry. You're right. We

are partners and whenever I'm

uncomfortable, you are always very

considerate of my feelings.

>> Look how snake skin

>> I'm saying. I'm slipping. Hold the rail.

Hold the rail. Hold it. Hold it. Hold

it. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Never

pull up. Never pull up on these ears.

>> I think the real mystery is how you two

ever solved anything. [laughter]

Anywh who, let's see what Jesus has to

say about your journal. Oh, and if he

offers you food, accept.

Declining is a sign of disrespect to all

of them.

>> All of them.

Order up.

>> Hey, another drink.

[music]

>> So warm.

>> Whoops.

No.

Keep it.

Hey S,

allow me to introduce my friends. This

is Judith and Nicholas. They are wanted

fugitives investigating a snake mystery

and try not to get murdered. May we sit?

>> Oh, okay.

>> Oh, I'm good. But these guys look

hungry.

Thank you for meeting with us. We

believe snakes were framed for something

in this journal. Perhaps pertaining to

>> eat first, talk second.

>> Oh.

Ah,

[laughter]

it

Rub it.

>> HEY GUYS, THEY ATE IT.

Look at their faces. I don't need crubs.

ARMANO, GET ME A SCONE. [laughter]

OKAY. OKAY.

H

mental cover.

>> And what does that mean?

>> It means

it's fancy.

It also means the secret you're looking

for is probably right on the cover.

Somehow Vipers can see things in the

metal, even under the paint.

>> This is Ebenezer Linksley's original

journal for the weather walls. Why would

he hide a secret for a snake?

>> I don't know, but it must have been big

cuz a tortoise died for it.

>> I am guessing that it was a slow death.

H [groaning]

>> the fanging didn't just change how folk

saw snakes. No mammals trusted any

reptile after that.

That's why we all left. And that's when

the Lynxley's expanded Tundra Town the

first time.

And it's happening again.

The expansion is going here.

Marsh Market will be buried in snow.

We'll all get pushed out.

Those lynxes will get more land and

there's no way to stop them.

>> What if the secret hidden in here could?

Then I would say holding it puts the two

of you in grave danger.

They tracked you. [music]

Oops.

This is me, baby.

>> Follow me. Come on.

>> Why are you helping us?

>> You two saved the city once. I reckon

you [music] can save it again. And when

you do, maybe everyone will see we ain't

that different.

[laughter]

Key Grammar Structures

• Now, if any reptile would know the secret of that book and why the snake wants it,

  ➔ Conditional Clause (Type 2) - 'would' + infinitive

  ➔ This sentence uses a hypothetical situation. If *any* reptile possessed the knowledge, they *would* know. The 'would' indicates a non-factual, imagined scenario. The phrase 'if any reptile' introduces the condition.

• Well, when Zootopia was founded, the whole neighborhood got cut off from the rest of the town.

  ➔ Past Perfect Passive Voice - 'was founded', 'got cut off'

  ➔ The sentence describes a past event ('Zootopia was founded') and its consequence ('the neighborhood got cut off'). The passive voice emphasizes the action happening *to* the neighborhood, rather than who performed the action of cutting it off.

• Well, I've been hustling the streets since I was 12.

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous - 'I've been hustling'

  ➔ This tense emphasizes that the action of 'hustling' started in the past ('since I was 12') and continues up to the present moment. It highlights the duration of the activity.

• Oh, sea lion. He's not from around here.

  ➔ Pronoun clarification/correction & Simple Present

  ➔ The speaker corrects a misidentification. Someone initially thought the animal was a seal, but the speaker clarifies it's a sea lion. The second sentence uses the simple present to state a fact about the animal's origin.
