Horton Hears A Who! Page #2

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."

Look, over there!

There, all better.

Can I please have whophone, daddy?

Everyone else in my class has one.

Oh, really? Everyone?

- Aw! I will think about it.

- Daddy, look! Daddy look!

Toos!

It's "th" sweetheart.

It's "Tooth"

In Whoville tradition unlike yours or mine

Mayor's oldest is the next Mayor of line.

And who was the oldest lead and stand tall?

It was JoJo, his son,

the smallest who all.

So, JoJo, what's what's shaking?

What's happening?

What's the world?

Now to you or to me, it's finally clear

that JoJo did not want his father's career.

But the Mayor pressed forward

completely illuded.

And JoJo just sat there in silence and lude it.

Oh, JoJo!

- Hey! Why this he get more time?

- That's not fair!

Son! Hey!

And why didn't he speak?

Well I think the leg was

frightened if he did,

he might let down his dad.

You know what's awesome?

This is awesome!

Just look at the men and the women

hanging on these walls.

You, my boy, are part of family legacy

that spans centuries

You know what?

Your grandfather was Mayor of Whoville.

And, your great grandmother, that's right.

All the way down to your

Great

Great

Great

Great

Not so great

Great, Great

Great, Great, Great

Great, Great, Great

Great~!

Grandfather!

Some day I hope to join them.

Be one of the Grates.

I tell you JoJo there is nothing like being Mayor.

I get to sign resolutions,

approve ordinances, submit budgets.

And in the edible parade

I'm the one city noun top of the giant people.

Some day

That can be you too, JoJo.

Some day you'll be the one

wearing the Mayor crest.

You just...

You just need to...

You know what I mean?

O.K. Good chat!

I'm glad that we had this talk

That I'm continuing now by myself.

Good.

Oh! There. There are to become fit.

Nothing wrong with this Morton.

Nothing wrong with this.

Just you and me in the speck.

Shouldn't a breeze.

We're club. We're group.

We can take a vote on issues.

We can be a secret to society

- to control pirate's power in the world.

- Horton?

And no one else can join

Unless they wear funny hats.

Listen, Horton!

The chair reconize it's brother Morton.

I am really happy

you found this speck in all.

But you might wanna

think about keeping it to yourself.

Um, what, what?

Are you talking to what clover.

That doesn't look good.

You know what doesn't look good?

You, talking about the speck

like the speck isn't even there.

Speck never said nothing bad about you.

But hey!

Good luck with your illusional superiority.

You know the speck can think

anything you want about me you to speak.

Wow!

I see what's going on here.

Morton, no matter how tight
