  Kangaroo : Horton!

  Horton : Well you did.

• Morton : Horton, the kangaroo has sent Vlad!

  Horton : Vlad? Vlad, Vlad... I know two Vlads. There's the bad Vlad... And then there's bunny Vlad, the one that makes cookies!

  Horton : Yeah, good call.

• Horton : [in imitation of cheaply dubbed anime]  I'll make monkeys out of these monkeys!

• Horton : There's a tiny person on that speck that needs my help!

• Horton : [thanking people]  And Morton, for being the only one who stood by me. Well not right by me; he hid in the bushes sending me good thoughts. He's small.

  Morton : Dude, you are a warrior poet.

• The Mayor of Who-ville : Listen, Horton, I've gotta go. Apparently there's a problem with a giant meatball.

  Horton : You just take care of that meatball sir and leave the freaking out to me.

• Horton : Ahaha! To the top of Mount Nool, as fast as lightning, away I go!

• Horton : [looking down the canyon]  It's just a straight plummet to certain death.

• Horton : All right, I gotta get this speck up to the top of Mount Nool A.S.A.P, whatever that means, probably 'act swiftly, awesome pachyderm'! I mean, how hard can that be?

• Horton : This looks kinda... precarious. Well nothing to worry, obviously when they build a bridge like this they take into account that elephants will be crossing here.

• Horton : I will make monkeys of these monkeys, for it is their destiny!

• Horton : I have to think light. I'm light as a feather. I am light as a feather.

  [a feather lands on the bridge and the plank gives way] 

  Horton : Heavy feather.

• Horton : [In a deep voice as he's hit with a Wickersham banana bomb]  Whoa! I can feel the diplomatic processes beginning to break down!

• Horton : [over intercom]  Is everything okay down there?

  The Mayor of Who-ville : [in shock]  Uh... I don't know. You tell me. You're the one holding the speck.

• [Horton is being roped while the people of WhoVille make noise to be heard] 

  Horton : Listen, *please*! It's the most beautiful thing ever!

  Yummo Wickersham : I don't hear nothin'.

• Horton : Alright, I need to get this clover to the top of Mount Nool A.S.A.P.whatever that means. Probably, Act Swiftly, Awesome Pachyderm.

  [He sees a rope bridge over a deadly chasam] 

  Horton : . It's a sheer drop to certain death.

• Horton : We're a club. We're a group. We can take a vote on the issues. We can be a secret society, and no one else can join, unless they wear a funny hat!
