Save me! Save me!
Ow! Help! Help!
Help me! Help me, hurry!
Thank you! So much! Oh, thank you so very much!
We all thank you, Horton the Elephant.
You saved us!
Thank you! So much! So very much!
- Who are you? - Thank you so much!
Who are you?
Us?
We are the nation of "somebodies".
For every one of us is a somebody.
Whoever he or she is.
A colossal thank you.
We all thank you, Horton the Elephant.
You saved us!
I will not leave you now, my friends.
I will carry you and keep you safe.
He's talking to himself.
Strange.
Oh, my little ones, oh, my poor things, my pretty little things.
Defenceless folk...
Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid, my little ones.
My kind, good, funny, awkward...
Don't be afraid.
Uh-huh... oh...
Don't be afraid! You don't have to worry!
I won't leave you!
You're perfectly safe!
A mad elephant!
He's crazy! He's protecting a bit of fluff!
Deranged!
Calls himself cultured! An intellectual! - Quiet....
Quiet! Careful!
Careful!
Don't hit the bit of fluff!
There's a whole world in it.
A whole world!
Ha ha ha! A whole world!
Oh!
A whole world! Heh heh heh heh!
A whole world!
Don't do that!
Don't do that! There's...
Who's in there?
Stop! Stop!
Stop! Where are you going?
Care... careful, please!
Don't drop it! I'm scared! I'm scared!
I'm scared to think someone might fall
from that height! Stop!
Enough! Enough!
Where are you going? Where are you going?
Stop!
My friends...
Where are you?
Are you here?
My friends!
Call out to me!
My friends...
Where are you?
I want to help you.
My friends.
We are here! We are here!
Here! - My friends!
We're here!
Here we are!
Are you alive?
We're well! We're unhurt!
Unfortunately, we have a bit of a mess here.
We're starting an emergency repair of the city.
The "somebody" people ask you, honourable Horton...
Carry us with you, please!
My friends...
I can't just leave you.
I will carry you...
And keep you safe!
Dear neighbour!
Wake up!
Come to your senses!
Otherwise, we'll have to take drastic measures.
Oh! Let's boil the bit of fluff in peanut butter!
Let's save our dear elephant!
Let's boil some fluff!
In peanut butter?
And save the elephant!
But there's someone in there!
Shame on you! You'll hear them yourselves now!
Hey! "Somebody" people!
You're in trouble! Scream! Yell! Bang!
Don't give up, guys! Shout louder!
Louder! Come on!
Louder!
Stop!
Don't eat it...
Do you hear that?
There's someone there! Do you hear that?
We are "somebodies"!
From now on, I'm taking you under my protection too!
We are "somebodies"!
[THE END] We are "somebodies"!
