• [repeated line] 

  Horton : A person's a person, no matter how small.

• [while Horton's clover is being carried away by Quizmo McKwoff] 

  Horton : Dr. Hoovey? Quick, Doctor! / Fasten your seat belt! Tie yourself down! / Batten your hatches! Sandbag the whole town!

  Dr. Hoovey : Batten our hatches? I don't understand! / What is a seat belt? We're fresh out of sand.

• Tho Whos : [singing to Dr. Hoovey, who they now believe after they have been dropped from the sky]  Just tell us what we have to do! / Just tell us and we'll follow you! / We'll save this town, we'll save this world! / Just tell us what we have to do!

  Dr. Hoovey : [spoken]  What to do? / I wish I knew!

• Horton : [after attempting to get the Whos to make themselves heard, which fails]  Uh, you should've heard *that*, just as clear as a bell. / Everything is going to be... perfectly swell.

  Jane Kangaroo : Hmph, I heard nothing, and *you* didn't either, / And as for my prodigy, *he* didn't...

  Junior Kangaroo : ...Neither!

• Jane Kangaroo : Hmph!

  Narrator : It was Jane Kangaroo, and the small kangaroo in her pouch said:

  Junior Kangaroo : Hmph, too!

• Horton : [after he rescues the dust speck]  There. Whoever you are, all your troubles are over. I'll-I'll put you down safe on this comfortable clover.

• Horton : But, this is incredible. What are you, anyhow?

  Dr. Hoovey : Not what, sir. I'm a Who.

  Horton : A Who? You're a Who?

  Dr. Hoovey : Yes, a Who. Uh, W-H-O. Who. I live here in Who-ville.
