town here, Ted.

Lots of fun stuff to occupy

your short attention span.

Why, I can't

think of any reason

you would ever want to

go outside of town again.

Ever.

Okay! Good talk.

Really good talk.

Oh, no.

Look out!

Hey, man? You know, you need

to change that door bell.

Oh, you missed me.

What?

You're already back. Clearly,

you missed me a little. Right?

No, I didn't. I'm just here

to hear the end of the story.

Why are you so interested

in trees anyway?

Why aren't you

like other kids,

break dancing and

wearing bell-bottoms,

and playing

the Donkey Kongs?

Yeah, right, right.

I don't know.

Uh, I just thought it would be

kind of cool to have one, you know?

Huh?

It's a girl, isn't it?

What? No!

Really? Because when a guy

does something stupid once,

well, that's because

he's a guy.

But if he does

the same stupid thing twice,

it's usually to

impress some girl.

Hey, she is not some girl!

She's a woman,

in high school.

And she loves trees.

And I'm going to get her one.

Aw!

How nice to see someone so

undeterred by things like reality.

Thank you.

All right,

but where did we leave off?

Now that's a Thneed.

Nothing unmanly

about knitting. No, sir.

Look at that...

Oh!

Who taught you guys

how to steal a bed?

Shh!

Okay, nice and easy.

Nice work, you guys. Couldn't

have done it without you.

You got to be kidding me.

Can he swim?

Of course he can't swim!

Hang on, Pipsqueak!

I'm coming to get you!

Hey, you fishies!

Stop that bed!

Whoo! Whoo!

Jump, jump!

Come on, get up there.

Come on.

Go, go! A little bit

more! A little bit more!

Now what?

Mmm-mmm.

Get up there.

Okay, Pipsqueak,

give me your hand.

Come on,

reach out for the Lorax.

Where did you go?

Bar-ba-loots.

Oh, that's bad.

Hey, Beanpole, wake up!

What's happening?

Where am I?

Hey! We got trouble,

and it's coming up fast!

Whoo!

We're in a river!

Whew!

Oh, no.

Just do something!

Help is on the way!

No, no!

Just a minute!

Oh, no!

Wake up! Wake up!

Yuck!

Clear!

Ah!

I was heading

into the light,

and you pulled me

right back and here I am!

You saved my life!

Yeah, I know. Well, no,

it's not that big a deal.

It is a big deal!

Look, I almost went over

that waterfall! Wait...

On my bed. How did my

bed get in the river?

Uh... About that...

Actually... I put your bed in the water.

I didn't

mean you any harm.

I just wanted to

calmly float you away.

Look, everyone here

needs the trees

and you're

chopping them down!

So, we've got

a big problem.

All right, look.

I hereby swear that I will
