[The scene changes to the inside of an apartment, the door swings open, and Jungkook is being shown to his room by an elderly armadillo named Dharma Armadillo.]

Dharma Armadillo: And welcome to the Grand Pangolin Arms luxury apartments with charm. Complementary de-lousing once a month...Don't lose your key [gives his the key and leaves]

Jungkook: Thank you. [sees Bucky and Pronk Oryx-Antlerson walking past him] Oh, hi! I'm Jungkook, your new neighbour.

Bucky Oryx-Antlerson: [grumpily] Yeah? Well, we're loud.

Pronk Oryx-Antlerson: [grumpily] Don't expect us to apologize for it.

[Their door slams; Jungkook looks around the room]

Jungkook: Greasy walls... [puts his suitcase on the floor and presses down on the bed] Rickety bed... [Bucky and Pronk are heard next door saying "Shut up!" to each other, two pictures on Jungkook's wall move up and down as the two yell at each other] Crazy neighbours... [flops on the bed with a huge smile] I love it!!

[The alarm goes off at 5:30; Jungkook turns it off, gets in his uniform, polishes his badge, unlocks his door and grabs his key. He looks at the fox repellent.]

Jungkook: Eh... [Jungkook leaves the room. A few seconds later, he goes back in and grabs the repellent.]

[The next scene shows Zootopia Police Department. Inside, Officer Fangmeyer, a tiger, takes in a wolf with a muzzle.]

Muzzled wolf: Come on! He bared his teeth first!

[Officer Jung Hoseok, a cheetah, is seen behind the radio dispatcher's desk, eating a hamburger with Sprite.]

Jung Hoseok: Mm-mm-mmm! [Jungkook walks up to the desk.]

Jungkook: Excuse me!

Hoseok: [looking around in surprise] Hm?

Jungkook: Hi!

Hoseok: O.M. Goodness. [puts down his burger on a plate, clearly surprised and excited] They really did hire a bunny. [Laughs] What?! Heh, I gotta tell you, you are even cuter than I thought you'd be!

Jungkook : [blushes] Thank you

Jung Hoseok: Me, Jung Hoseok, the guy everyone thinks is just an Extrovert, sprite-loving cop.

Jungkook: [giggles] I'm Jeon Jungkook nice to meet you too [laughs nervously] I should get to roll call, so which way do I-

Jung Hoseok: [points] Oh, the chief's cabinet is over there to the left.

Jungkook: Great. Thank you! [Jungkook walks off to the chief's cabinet as the other officers watch him in amusement.]

Hoseok: Aww! That poor little bunny's gonna get eaten alive.

[Jungkook enters the room and sees a bunch of officers, most of the predator kind, conversing. He sees a lion and a polar bear arm wrestling. The polar bear pins the lion's arm down with a huge thud, surprising Jungkook and causing laughter from the other officers. He walks to a chair and sat. He looks at Officer McHorn, a rhino.]

Jungkook: [cheerfully] Hey! Officer Jeon. You ready to make the world a better place?

[Jungkook holds out his clenched paw for a fist bump. Officer McHorn snorts, rolls his eyes, and uses his fist to push Jungkook's fist. He laughs half-heartedly.]

Officer Higgins: Atten-hut!

[As Chief Yoongi, the Tiger chief of police enters, the other, larger officers bang their fists on the desks.]

Chief Yoongi: Alright. Alright! Everybody sit. I've got three items on the docket. First... we need to acknowledge the elephant in the room. [turns to an elephant officer] Francine [they look at Francine in mild suspense] - happy birthday.

[The suspense turns into excitement; officers around Francine get involved in a tussle]

Jungkook : [applauds] Oh, oh...

Chief Yoongi: Number two; there are some new recruits with us I should introduce, but I'm not going to, because I don't care.

[The officers' snigger; Jungkook grins.]

Chief Yoongi: Finally; we have fourteen missing mammal cases - all predators - from a giant polar bear to a teensy little otter, and City Hall is right up my tail to find them! This is priority number one. [Higgins gives Chief Yoongi the files; Yoongi takes out glasses and starts handing them out to the assigned officers] Assignments: Officers Grizzoli, Fangmeyer, and Delgato; your teams take missing mammals from the Rainforest District. [Delgato takes the file from Grizzoli as the team leaves] Officers McHorn, Rhinowitz, Wolfard; your teams take Sahara Square. [McHorn takes the file and his team leaves] Officers Higgins, Snarlov, Trunkaby: Tundratown. [Trunkaby takes the file and the team leaves] And finally our first bunny: Officer Jeon... Jungkook anxiously awaits his assignment; Chief Yoongi sighs, giving a blank stare] parking duty. Dismissed. [Jungkook shows signs of confusion.]

Jungkook: Parking duty? [gets Chief Yoongi's attention, who was leaving the room] Chief? Chief Min? [Chief Yoongi puts on his glasses and looks down at Jungkook] Sir, you said there were fourteen missing mammal cases.

Chief Yoongi: Yes?

Jungkook: So I can handle one. You probably Lt, but I was top of my class at the academy.

Chief Yoongi: Didn't forget. Just don't care.

Jungkook: Sir, I'm not just some token bunny.

Chief Yoongi: Well then, writing one hundred tickets a day should be easy. [Leaves room; Jungkook seems stunned, he taps his foot angrily]

Jungkook: A hundred tickets, I'm not gonna write a hundred tickets. I'm gonna write two-hundred tickets! That too before noon!
