Sour Kangaroo: [Horton suggested that he'd be able to get someone to believe him] You could do nothing of the sort, you won’t breathe a word of this lie to anybody else, especially the children, I don’t need you to poison their mind with nonsense. Our community has standards, Horton, if you want to remain a part of it, I recommend you follow them, and have a nice day.

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-greeeaat...grandfather. Someday, I hope to join them, and be one of the greats.

Horton the Elephant: [chuckles, whimpers; sobbing, babbling] Knock-knock. This is where you'd say "who's there" if there were any Whos there! Get it? "Who's there!" Heheh!
