Vlad Vladikoff What a burn on you, Horton! Ha, Ha!
Vlad Vladikoff Oh man, that is nice touch. I'm a mess of this, right? Emotional! Here come the water slide. [crying]
Vlad Vladikoff Whoa! Come on, I'm your bro. It's me you're talking to. We have history! Come on, let's not forget, I did this for free.
Vlad Vladikoff You should've been seeing me. I really let elephant have it. I chase him, i torment him. And then I break him into million little elephant pieces. It was thing of beauty, really. My best work. Classic Vlad.
Scenes with Vlad Vladikoff
6 scenesHeey, JoJo. Wooooow, lotta liquid. Loottta liquid. Just the person I wanted to see. Yeah, I realize that we have not been seeing eye-to-eye lately, and most of it is my fault. It's true. You know what I've been trying to do? I've been trying to impose my vision of your future on you. Let me make this perfectly clear. JoJo... you can be whatever kind of Mayor you wanna be. Hands on, strong and silent, outspoken, it's up to you. Well, good. I feel so much better. I am expecting big things from you, young man. Big things! Alright. Good night. Good stop! Good talk.
Then, JoJo snuck out, feeling lonely and sad,
and tragically misunderstood by his Dad. And where was he going at such a late hour?
Up to Whoville's abandoned star study tower.
A place where the boy felt contented and free.
A place he could be what he wanted to be
(JoJo enters the abandoned observatory) And what was inside there, I'd say if I could. But up above, the Kangaroo was up to no good.
No, Rudy. Stay in your room.
But Mom...
Stay inside. ahem... Mr. Vladikoff? (gets jumpscared by vulture-like monster and yelps.)
Vlad Vladikoff Eating. Go.
Yes, I realize you're busy. But I need your help. It's Horton. He's become obsessed with a clover. And he actually thinks there are little people on it. I want that clover destroyed!
Vlad Vladikoff Sure, what a big deal this is… for you, bro.
I'd do it myself, but being a lady, I prefer not getting my hands dirty. But I hear you have no problem with that.
Vlad Vladikoff No. No problem. Easy peasy. But... I will only do this for a price. In exchange for a brand new pair of- No... this. Little Kangaroo.
Mom?!
Quiet, Rudy. Mommy's thinking it over. (to Vlad) Huh... well thaaanks, but on second thought, I think I'm going to have the Wickersham Brothers take care of this for me.
Vlad Vladikoff Yeah, of course, Wickersham. I mean they're-they're classy operation, y'know they did- WAIT, NO! YOU CAN'T GO WITH WICKERSHAM!
No no, no no, the Wickershams would be perfect for this job.
Vlad Vladikoff But... they're monkeys! Is not scary!
Uhh, thanks anyway. Maybe next time.
Vlad Vladikoff Wait! Here is what I will do to precious clover. I will take it, I will crush it… …And I will devour it. (He begins to choke on a bone he swallowed) Bigger than it look! One second! (retch) Holy moly! (He manages to cough it up and pull it out.) Then I will regurgitate it… …And then, I will devour it second time! So… two times devoured!
Sounds nice... But I think I'll talk to the Wickershams.
Vlad Vladikoff Here is best part. I do all... (mispronounced) g-g-gratis. That's free, bro. What do you think? (He nods excitedly, knowing he wants the deal)
Deal.
Vlad Vladikoff YES! SCORE! Thanking you! You won't regret! (He flies away laughing, forgetting to flap and falls for a moment, before getting back up with a cackle.)
(Back to Horton as he is sleeping alone with the clover and he feels cold so he warm himself. Fade to black.)
(He saw Vlad who is attempting to get rid of the clover, thus led to a big chase)
Bad Vlad. Bad Vlad. BAD VLAADD!!!
(Back at Who-ville, The Mayor's office starts sliding from left to right. Back at the Nool, Horton starts hiding behind a tree and starts to breathes)
That is definitely not a bunny. (He turns around to see any signs of Vlad, but to no appearance, then breathes as relief) Lost him. Meant to lose him, and I lost him.
(It was fine until Vlad came back, and Horton screams as Vlad's about to kill the clover, with his razor sharp claws. Horton dodges and Vlad has his claws stuck to a tree, struggling to get off and saw Horton running away)
Vlad Vladikoff This tree for real, come on!
Hang on, Whoville! This is gonna get rough!
(He falls down as we cut to Who-ville which the office then slides to the left, with the Mayor landed on the Chairman's portraits, then slides back as he grabs from the exit and dodges everything from his office, including his desk, and Finwick's bowl, which landed on his crotch, with another object on the fishbowl, which Finwick dodges. Back at Nool.)
Vlad Vladikoff Now you're going to get it. Get ready for the best.
Leave me alone!
Vlad Vladikoff (He enters the Bamboo forest to avoid him and Vlad enters as well, with one of the bamboo being hit on him and trapped)
No! Horton!
(As Horton exits the Bamboo forest, he looks to see any sightings of Vlad, but to no appearance again and Horton breathes as relieve again)
I just know he's gonna jump out somewhere.
Vlad Vladikoff Hello.
(Horton screams as he saw Vlad, still here, and back up slowly till he reaches a branch and keeps backing up until he trip and grabs the branch with his nose. Back at Who-ville, the residents notice the weird shaking before it slides back to the left. We then see the Mayor rolling around through the podium and later got banged by a chair, a refrigerator, and a table, which causes him to scream in pain before he saw the same stapler and staples him again in the forehead, to which he screams in at the top of his lungs. Back at Who-ville...)
Vlad Vladikoff Chess mate. Now it's time for me to take clover and (baby-voice) crush all the little people on it...
Sorry. This is where we get off.
Vlad Vladikoff (Horton let go of the branch and it launches at Vlad, who is landed on a big rock)
Ow, in the my beak!
(He moves like a domino and falls to the trees)
Cool line. Usually I can't think of those things til later.
Vlad Vladikoff (Back at Horton chases Vlad at a grey, cracked desert, until he got hit by a wall and looks up)
What a burn on you, Horton! Ha, Ha!
(Horton climbs the wall and reaches the top. He grabs on a plant to pull his feet up. He falls forward, puts the plant down and runs through the dirt path in determination. While running, he noticed Vlad's black feather on the branch, grabbing it before glaring at it angrily. He charged through the snow, another feather falling, which he catches up, glancing at it before looking up. He saw the vulture before charging through the snow, he smokes snow air through his trunk like a train and jumps over a gap before landing in the snow, swimming through it and out)
Woo, brain freeze!
(Horton reaches to the top of the mountain, without snow, and rushes to Vlad)
Give me back my speck. (Horton jumps and tries to grab it. But Vlad quickly dodges)
Vlad Vladikoff Not this time guy.
(Horton falls and screams as he landed through snow, later runs through it and chases Vlad.) (Back at Who-ville)
I'm so sorry that I let you down, but... this... this is bigger than me. Get the family together and get somewhere safe.
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: I will! I believe you.
Vlad Vladikoff (Horton starts running fast, more angrier as he yells at Vlad stares waiting for the moment)
I've got you now, elephant.
No! No! NO! (Vlad he drops the speck, much to Horton's horror, as it shows that it will be dropped at a million specks) Oh, no. (Horton covers his eyes as the speck is about to be dropped, and cuts to Who-Ville being jumped harder)
Vlad Vladikoff YEAH!!!
(Vlad laughs evilly as his mission completed. As the screen fades to black)
(as John F. Kennedy's voice)
And, uh, we will, uh, put us back on Mount Nool before the end of this, uh, decade.
(Just as Horton arriving to Mount Nool, Mrs. Quilligan, who is lying on a tree, noticed Horton's speck is still alive. Shocked, she flies in panic, although her wings are disproportionately small for her body.)
Mrs. Quilligan
(rapidly)
Oh! This-this Elephant, he's crazy. Oh my goodness! I gotta tell everybody. I need to get to the Kangaroo. Whoo! Wait til they find out about...
Vlad Vladikoff Oh! You should've been seeing me. I really let elephant have it. I chase him, i torment him. And then I break him into million little elephant pieces. (Rudy gasps in shocked, hearing about it) It was thing of beauty, really. My best work. Classic Vlad.
And the clover?
Vlad Vladikoff Clover is finished. No way in million years Horton find it. Read my beak: Clover is gone forever.
Mrs. Quilligan
(Mrs. Quilligan lands and fell off, Vlad laughs as he sees her)
I just saw Horton and he is still talking to that CLOVER!
(Sour looks at Vlad, who chuckles nervously, in anger, thinking he was lying to her)
Idiot! (storms off)
Vlad Vladikoff Whoa! Come on, I'm your bro! It's me you're talking to! We have history! Come on, let's not forget, I did this for free!
(she wipes through large leaves)
What is happening to the Jungle of Nool? (she jumps towards the animals in the clearing) There once was a time when people were people, (Tommy, his father Willie, and another cow-bear standing next to them look at Sour in surprise with other animals), and specks were specks. (three Zatz-Its look on her, and these on left slowly shakes his head yes) Well I say if you can't see it, hear it, or feel it (jumps onto the central rock), it doesn't exist. Our way of life is under attack. And who's leading that attack? (turns gently, then turns abruptly and raises their hands in a gesture of haunting) Horton!!
(The animals gasp in shocked and horror, then Morton arrived, interrupting the speech)
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a minute! This is Horton we're talking about, you know about him. He wouldn't hurt a fly. Except for that fly city he sat on. But he didn't do that on purpose.
Oh, yeah. That's weird. My brownies are burning. I got to go. (He runs off quickly)
Are we going to let troublemakers like Horton (grabs Rudy as an example) poison the minds of our children?!
Not the children!!
(The Wickershams arrives to all the animals hear Sour's speech too)
When Horton tells our children about worlds beyond the jungle, he makes them question the authority. Which leads to defiance, which leads to ANARCHY!!!
Yeah!! Horton must pay!!
Mrs. Glummox
It's that speck!
Willie Cow-Bear
Now, we have to do something!
Mrs. Quilligan
For the children!
For the children!
ARE WE GOING TO LET HIM GET AWAY WITH THIS??!!
Various Residents
NO!!!
I hear it! I hear it! They are there!
(The crowd looks at Rudy as roping and caging stops)
And that "Yopp!", that one small extra "Yopp!" put it over.
Wickersham 1
(as the Wickershams let Horton out of the cage)
I hear it.
Wickersham 2
Me too.
Wickersham 3
So do I.
(Sour looks at son)
Rudy. (She tries to give Rudy the clover) Give me that! Come, Ru...
(Rudy jumps out of mother's pouch, away from his mother.) (smiling nervously)
Rudy, get back in the pouch, now.
Uh, Wickershams! Get that clover!
(Rudy stops in front of the Wickersham Brothers. They let him pass while glancing at the Rudy's mother) (shocked)
Well...A..Anybody take it from him.
(The crowd all glances and growls of the Sour. Yawling Yak, Deer-whose-horns-are-connected-from-one-to-the-other and Cow-Bear looking at her with angry. Sour sighs in humiliation. Her son approaches Horton and gives him his clover)
Obnoxious Who
YEAH!!! (Tries to high five somebody, but one Who high fives him)
Well done, son.
Who
Alright, Mayor!
JoJo McDodd
Dad, you're one of the Greats!
(Back at the Jungle of Nool)
Wow! Easy, everyone. Easy! (looks down) Oh hi, Vlad. (The animals gasp in shock, knowing. But, out of nowhere, it's actually a bunny named Vlad. He holding the cookies, the one Horton was confused about earlier, and wants him to have one) Well, I shouldn't. But...
(He takes a cookie, but when he starts to eat it. But Sour, she defeated. He later shows up to her and wants her to have a cookie. Sour then smiles and uses his umbrella at the speck, knowing to let go of her past)
Vlad Vladikoff Oh man, that is nice touch. I'm a mess of this, right? Emotional! Here come the water slide. (starts to cry)
Wow. (chuckles) There are so many people to thank. The good people of Nool who put me on a cage and poke me with sticks...
That was me!
My buddy, Morton, for being the only who stood by me. Well, not right by me. He's hidden in the bushes sending me good thoughts. He's small.
Dude, you are a warrior poet.
And most of all, I'd like to thank to the Mayor of Whoville. Who believed me from the beginning.
Oh, Horton, we're going to miss you.
JoJo McDodd
What are we gonna do without you, Horton?
Ah, don't worry. I'll always be around. (sings to the lyrics of "I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore" by REO Speedwagon) (He holds Willie Cow-Bear in a dancing gesture, stroking his head) And even as I wander, (he puts her arms around him and Mrs. Quilligan) I'll keep you in sight.
(sings)
You're a candle in the window.
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: (sings) On a cool dark winter's night.
Beautiful metaphor.
Horton and Mayor
(singing)
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might.
Whoo, little too high for me.
(sings) Baby, (He, Sour Kangaroo and Mrs. Quilligan go in the direction of snapping their fingers)
I can't fight this feeling any more.
(Katie then starts flying out of existence) (sings)
And if I have to crawl upon the floor.
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: (sings) Crawl upon the floor.
Vlad Vladikoff (sings)
Come crashing through your door.
Whos
(sings)
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.
JoJo McDodd
(sings)
I can't fight this feeling anymore (Cut back to the Jungle of Nool, where Horton, along with Rudy's mother, who is holding an umbrella over the clover, are walking towards Mount Nool to set up Who-ville, with the other animals following them. The camera zooms out.)
And so, all ended well for those, Horton and Whos.
And for all in the jungle, even Kangaroos.
So let that be a lesson to one and to all.
A person's a person...
(As it zooms out, turns out that the Jungle of Nool, like Who-ville, is a tiny speck (and only one of many) in spacewith.)... no matter how small.
(Katie still flying out of existence, ending the film)
Vlad Vladikoff (In the international credits, the song still plays, but in a different version) (sings)
And I can't fight this feeling anymore. Yeah, I like-like this, faster, more up-tempo.
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: (sings) I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
Mayor the Mouse
That's a metaphor!
Vlad Vladikoff (sings)
And throw away the oars.
Another metaphor!
Vlad Vladikoff (sings)
By engine.
(makes scatting noises)
Ha-aa-ah!
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: (sings) I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
(sings)
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: Well, you shouldn't be fighting anything, enjoy yourself.
Vlad Vladikoff (sings)
And break down your stupid door.
Crashing through your door.
Vlad Vladikoff (sings)
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore on an empty stomach.
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: (sings) I can't fight this feeling...
(Yummo makes monkey noises) Sally and Sour Kangaroo: (sings) I can't fight this feeling anymore.
(As the song ends, Mayor holds down the final note and Horton makes more noises, then laughs)
Sorry, just faking words.
