- The Mayor of Who-ville: Horton is a giant elephant in the sky!
- [Everyone looks up]
- The Mayor of Who-ville: . Don't bother looking, he's invisible.
- Councilman: This is the chairman...
- Horton: Idiot! You're finished in this town! Is that understood? Finished! You Boob!
- [brief pause while the chairman splutters]
- Horton: I'm just joking.
- Councilman: Eh heh, good one.
- The Mayor of Who-ville: Horton, I'd like you to meet my wife, Sally.
- Sally O'Malley: You exist! This means my husband isn't crazy. Hooray!
- The Mayor of Who-ville: And these are some of my daughters, Hildy, Helga, Hula, Heidi, and Hedy.
- Hedy, Heidi, Hildy, Helga: Hi!
- The Mayor of Who-ville: And this is Miss Yelp, my loyal assistant. And this is Dr. Larue.
- Dr. Mary Lou Larue: You saved us!
- The Mayor of Who-ville: And Burt from Accounting, and Mrs. McGillicuddy. And Mr. FarFloogin of the Cloogin FarFloogins. And the old man in the bathtub.
- Sally O'Malley: Honey, let's not overwhelm the poor guy, he's never gonna remember all these names.
- Horton: Well, I'll try my best: Sally, Chairman, Hildy, Helga, Hula, Heidi, and Hedy. Miss Yelp. Dr. Larue, Burt from accounting, Mrs. McGillicuddy, Mr. FarFloogin of the Cloogin FarFloogins. And wasn't there an old guy in a shower?
- The Mayor of Who-ville: Mmm, Bathtub.
- Horton: [a bit mad he didn't remember the name] Oh, Yeah!
- 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: [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.
