Finnick then declares Nick to be a cop, gives him the ZPD sticker, and leaves the scene in laughter. Finnick breaks into uproarious laughter at Nick's humiliation, before commending Judy on her cunning.

Judy, needing Nick to help her solve the case, hustles the latter into confessing his crime of felony tax evasion, forcing him to either help or face five years of jail time. As the two-exchange banter, Finnick awakens and eavesdrop on their conversation. During his nap, Judy Hopps returns and requests information from Nick for a case. The next day, Finnick and Nick reunite for another "father and son" scam Finnick falls asleep in his false stroller while travelling, which Nick covers to prevent anyone from noticing the former's adult-sized snoring. After Finnick drives off (while blasting rap music) Nick is left to deal with an infuriated Judy. He then reveals his true appearance and voice as he and Nick bid farewell until the next day. With the workday complete, Finnick is paid his share, and he discards his elephant costume and pacifier before entering his van in swift silence. Back in Savanna Central, it is revealed that Nick and Finnick were creating " pawpsicles" to sell to lemmings, while Finnick collects their discarded sticks, which are later sold as lumber to construction mice, finally proving their entire situation was a scam. Suspicious, Judy follows the duo to Tundratown, where Finnick is inserting his elephant suit's footprints into the snow, while Nick fills said prints with the Jumbo juices. The two then return to the van, but instead of Nick ("the parent") driving, it's Finnick who's at the wheel. During her shift, she spots Finnick exiting from a van and excitedly rushes to greet him, only to pause upon seeing him hold a jar steadily as Nick fills it with the juices of the melted Jumbo-pop. Nick and Finnick then depart the scene, leaving Judy to her duties as a meter maid. Outside of the café, Judy encourages Finnick to follow his "dream" to become an elephant, giving him a ZPD sticker on his elephant suit as a gift. Jerry begrudgingly complies, but Nick seems to have left his wallet home, apologizing to Finnick for "ruining his birthday." As the two take their leave, Finnick sadly reaches for the ice pop, prompting Judy to pay for it herself.

Out of sympathy, Judy confronts Jerry, threatening to close his establishment due to health code violations should he refuse to serve Nick and Finnick. Judy is notably touched by this story, though Jerry is unfazed, causing Finnick to throw a mild tantrum. Nick explains that his "son" would like a Jumbo-pop, claiming that Finnick loves all things elephants and hopes to be one when he grows up. Finnick looks to Judy and the two exchange gazes, but the fennec fox ignores her beyond that. She prepares to confront him with her fox repellent, only to pause when she spots Finnick, who Nick claims to be his son. She finds Jerry Jumbeaux Jr. refusing to serve Nick and believes this to be due to the latter violating a law. In during which, Nick was unknowingly spotted by Judy Hopps who, believing him to be plotting, followed Nick into café. This is Finnick's only known act of kindness and indicates that he does have some amount of care for both Nick and Judy.įinnick is first seen carrying out a money-making hustle with Nick at Jumbeaux's Café.

He subsequently showed her sympathy by answering her pleas and helping her find Nick, who she had evidently developed a friendship with since their last encounter. He appears to have a particular soft spot for Judy as near the climax of the film, when visited at his van, Finnick was initially hostile upon answering, only to immediately soften at the sight of Judy. For all of his gruffness, Finnick does have a heart.
