Horton Hears A Who! Page #5

Synopsis: One day, Horton the elephant hears a cry from help coming from a speck of dust. Even though he can't see anyone on the speck, he decides to help it. As it turns out, the speck of dust is home to the Whos, who live in their city of Whoville. Horton agrees to help protect the Whos and their home, but this gives him nothing but torment from his neighbors, who refuse to believe that anything could survive on the speck. Still, Horton stands by the motto that, "After all, a person is a person, no matter how small."

The Mayor is just being a moron.

No wait.

Whoville is in terrible danger.

Everyone needs get down to the

underground storage area immediately.

Time time.

Let's do this democratically.

Who wants the joy and glory

and festivity of the Who-centennial

to proceed as planned?

- Yeah!!!

- Yeah!!!

And who, like the Mayor,

thinks it would be better

to spend the Who-centennial

in an underground storage area?

Yeah!!!

Wait! You got to listen to me.

Our whole world could explode.

Much more quickly.

And our world wouldn't be that noise.

The people have spoken Mr. Mayor.

You're finished.

No one believes you.

No one supports you.

- Horton believes me.

- Horton?

Who's Horton?

Horton is a giant elephant in the sky.

Don't bother look. He is invisible.

And he is the one risking his life

to get Whoville which by the way

is a speck on a clover just safety.

I can prove it.

Horton's voice comes out of this horn.

Horton!

I have all the Whos gathered in town square.

Let them know you there.

Gee.

It's a kind of high pressure situation then.

Wow. I'm really run a blank here.

I know.

Horton?

Horton, We're waiting.

Time to show everyone

that you exist and...

By extension what a none boob I am.

Wait!

Everyone look at the wind.

What do you think that means?

It means, Um, it means...

obviously, uh...

Let's the Kite Flying Race begins!

What a perron on you Horton! Ha Ha Ha!

Woo, brain freeze!

Give Me Back

- My Speck!

- Not this time, guy.

I'm so sorry that I let you down, but...

and get some where safe.

But clover by clover by clover he found

But the one that he sought for

was just not around.

Mayor?

Hellow?

And by noon poor Horton

more dead and alive,

Had picked, searched,

and filed up 9005.

Hellow.

Sorry to bother you.

Nobody.

Knock knock.

This is the way you take.

Whos there?

If there were any Whos there,

You get it! Whos there.

I can't give up have them with you.

All day he looked.

Looked on and on.

Till his hope was almost gone.

No. No. No. Please No!

Citizens of Whoville!

I'd like you to meet our friend Horton.

He's going to help us.

He-e-v-ham I've got this.

This is the chairman.

Idiot!! Go finish this town.

Is that understood? Finished.

Huh-uh I'm just joking.

Good one.

Horton, this is my wife Sally.

my husband isn't in crazy.

Hooray!

And... off you my daughters.

- Haley, Holy, Hooly, Hilder and Heddy.

- Hi!!

And here is Miss. Yelp, my royal assitant.

- And here's Dr. Larue.

- You saved us.

And Bert from accounting.

And Mrs. McQuilligan.

And Mr. Farfoogan

from the Cloogan Farfoogans.

And the oldman in bathtub.

Let's not overwhelm the poor fella.

He's never gonna remember

all these names.

Whow. I'll try my best.

Sally.

Chairman.

Haley, Hooly, Holy, Hilder, Heddy.

Miss. Yelp, Dr. Larue,

Bert from accounting,

Mrs. McQuilligany,

Mr. Farfoogan of the Cloogan Farfoogans.

And wan't there an old guy in a shower.

- Um, bathtub.

- Oh, Yeah!

We're all here, Horton.

And, We ALL believe in you.

Wow! That's awesome.

And it's reponsibility I do not take lightly.

I promise you a future that

it's safe, sound, and stable.

We will create a world where every Who

is undoubt with 3 indelible rights

To be determined that a later date.

And we will put us back on Mountain Nool

before the end of this a decade.

Oh!

This, this is the elephant in crazy.

Oh my goodness.

I could tell anyone and it's to the kangaroo.

Quick to they find out of them.

Hoho, you should've been seeing me.

I really read the elephant habit.

I chase him like doorman and then

I break him into million little elephant pieces.

It was thing of beauty,

Really my best work.

Classic Vlad.

- And the colver?

- Clover is finished.

No vain million years Horton finds it.

Believe my beak.

Clover is gone forever.

I just saw Horton.

And he is still talking to that clover.

Idiot!

Whoa, come on.

Hang you, Bro. It's me you're

talking to. We have history.

Come on. Let's don't forget

I did this for Free.

What is happening to the jungle of Nool?

There once was a time

when people were people.

And specks were specks.

All I say it you can't see it, hear it,

or feel it it doesn't exist.

Our way of life is under attack.

And who's leading that attack?

Horton!!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Wait a minute!

This is Horton we're talking about

you'll know about him.

He wouldn't hurt a fly.

Except for that fly city he sat on.

He didn't that on purpose.

- Shut up, mouse.

- Oh, Yeah. That's weired.

I feel my brain is burning.

I got to go.

Are we going to let troublemakers

like Horton poison the minds of children?

Not the children!!

When Horton tells our children

about worlds beyond the jungle,

it makes them question authority.

Which leads to the fires,

which leads to shocking!!

Yeah!! Horton must pay!!

Eat that speck!!

We have to do something!

- For the children!

- For the children!

Are we going to let him get away with this?

No!!!

Morton! I told you 100%!

Horton.

- Morton, pick up your feet, Gee.

- It's not me.

Oh, Hoho. I see. It's an angry mob.

Sorry Morton.

I thought it's you who's making all the...

But it's...

Hold on.

Run, Horton!!

There he is!!

Let's grab him!

Let's take him!

Stop!

Hey, fellas.

Good to see ya.

All at once.

You're look really great as herd.

Horton, Horton, Horton look at that mess

you created for yourself.

All this holible lure over us

is silly little flower.

It's a speck.

Right.

I mean a silly really all this talk of

roping you and caging you and well

we don't need to go into the details.

The point is this angry mob

of all a trouble you're in.

It can all go away.

- Really?

- Of course.

All you have to do is admit to everyone

that there are no little people

living on that speck.

That you're wrong and I was right.

You do that,

and things can go the right

back to the way they were.

But, if you don't,

You're going to have to pay the price.

So I just have to say it isn't true?

Go ahead! Rope me! Cage me!

Do whatever you want!

But there are people on this speck.

And they have Mayor.

Who has 96 daughters
