Mayor Ned McDodd

[after being called a "boob" by the Chairman]

He has the nerve to call somebody a boob? I would never call somebody a boob. He's a boob. Look at you. Yuck! Look at your face...and I bet you don't look so good with a stapler in your head! [throws a stapler at a painting of the Chairman, which bounces off and hits him in the face, leaving a staple implanted on his forehead, causing him to scream in pain]

Sour Kangaroo If you can't see, hear or feel something, it doesn't exist. And believing in "tiny, imaginary people" is just not something we do.[takes her son's clover he was examining after hearing Horton] Or tolerate here in the Jungle of Nool. Sour Kangaroo You could do nothing of the sort, you won’t breathe a word of this lie to anybody else, especially the children, I don’t need you to poison their mind with nonsense. Our community has standards, Horton, if you want to remain a part of it, I recommend you follow them, and have a nice day. Sour Kangaroo Horton is a menace, he has those children using their imaginations, it's sick.
