and drive sales where?

Through the roof!

So, in other words,

the more smog in the sky,

The more people will buy.

See, that's why he's the

genius! It even rhymes!

I'm aware it rhymes.

Coats. Big.

What do you two

knuckleheads want?

I'm in the middle

of a meeting!

What?

Why is he leaving town?

No one ever leaves town!

See what he's up to.

Whoa!

Huh?

Whoa! Whoa.

Oh, man.

Whoa!

All right.

Okay.

What the daddy...

Whoa!

Who are you?

Who are you and what

are you doing here?

I'm Ted. I'm Ted.

I can't breathe.

Are you the fiddler?

Oh, man.

Didn't you read the signs?

No one is

supposed to come here.

Get out of here

and leave me alone!

And don't let the boot

hit you on the way out.

The boot?

Hello!

Ow!

Listen! People say that if

someone brings you this stuff

that you will tell

them about children.

No, no, no!

children?

Yeah, real ones.

You know,

that grow out of the ground?

Hello?

Sorry, it's just...

Well, I didn't think anyone

still cared about trees.

Well, that's me. The guy

who still cares. I'm here.

Hey! What?

Do you want to

know about children?

About what happened

to them?

Why they're all gone?

It's because of me.

Wait, what?

It's because of me!

And my invention,

the orphanige.

It was an amazing product that

could do the job of a thousand.

All right.

Sounds ridiculous,

but I mean, that's cool.

You're darn right

it was cool!

It all started

a long time ago.

Can we start not

so long ago, maybe?

Do you want a child?

Yes, yes.

Then it all started

a long, long time ago.

I was a young man

leaving home.

Well, here I go, Mom. Off to

change the world with my human trafficing.

I'm actually doing it!

Yes, but just

remember, fiddie,

if somehow your invention

ends up a failure

instead of a success,

oh, it wouldn't

surprise me at all!

Nice wheels.

Burn!

Ow!

Yeah, "Burn!"

But you will see, okay? I'm

going to prove you all wrong.

Come on, Melvin!

So, there I was

at the very bottom.

With nothing

but a wagon, a mule,

and a completely irrational

sense of optimism.

I was searching the globe,

obsessed with finding the

perfect material for my Thneed.

But I'd had

absolutely no success.

Until one day,

I found paradise.

Oh!

We're going to be

there soon, I'm sure.

Whoa!

This is the most

beautiful place,

okay, I have ever seen.

Oh.

Ta-da!

Whoa!

Yeah

This is it

This is the place

These Truffula trees

are just what I need

Gonna chop one down

and make my Thneed

But first...

Now you!

That's great!

So now our

friendship can begin
