MARSHAL
This is the case of the People versus Horton the Elephant. Judge Yertle the Turtle presiding. The defendant is charged with talking to a speck, disturbing the peace and loitering... on an egg.
HORTON
Your honor, this clover is Exhibit A.
They’re Whos here smaller than the eyes can see
It’s true sir! He’s a Who and so is she.
(HORTON shows JUDGE YERTLE the clover. JUDGE YERTLE stares at it as the crowd anxiously awaits a verdict.)
Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor! Oh, please, Mr. Mayor!
You’ve got to prove now that you really are there!
(The JUNGLE CITIZENS all lean in to “listen” to the clover. No sound is heard.)
JUDGE YERTLE
Based on the evidence, I have no choice but to order the defendant, Horton the Elephant, remanded to the Nool Asylum for the criminally insane. And as for the dust speck... it will boil in a hot steaming kettle of beezlenut oil.
HORTON, MR. MAYOR, MRS. MAYOR
JoJo, think of something!
(All freeze except the CATS and JOJO.)
CATS
Now just for a moment, young JoJo looked grim.
The fate of the Whos rested squarely on him!
But then came a Think: A peculiar new word.
The kind of a word no one ever had heard!
(Time is suspended for a moment as JOJO clears his throat and opens his mouth.)
JOJO
Yopp!
