“Alright...! Heeey, JoJo, I need your help. Can you help me? Okay...” – Mayor Ned McDodd, Horton Hears a Who! ... Movie Quotes Database

(The Mayor runs home from the dentist with his numb arm flailing behind him. He enters and closes the door on his arm, struggling to pull it out, before noticing JoJo holding a pile of various objects.)
Mayor Ned McDodd: Alright...! Heeey, JoJo, I need your help. Can you help me? Okay, great! Okay, first! I need you to go to the girl's room! (His numb arm rubberbands back at him and slaps him in the face.) Ahh! Take down Hannah's china doll collection, and then- stop looking at my arm. Put away Holly's light bulb collection, and then- you know what? Just take care of anything that might break or shatter! Okay, take a good long look. (grabs his numb arm and starts shaking at it) Got it? Thanks JoJo! (He runs up the stairs, and starts shouting some gibberish nonsense as he shakes his arm, before throwing it against the wall, where he screams in pain. But in realization, his arm is no longer numb and works perfectly again. He goes to his room and grabs some stuff from his room) Here. I'll take that, and- whoa. Yah! (He starts putting his stuff to the top of his room)
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: Hi! You're home late!
Mayor Ned McDodd: Oh, sorry Hon, I was just... having some dental work done. On my... arm.
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: So, what was that- Ned! What are you doing?
Mayor Ned McDodd: Wha- What do you mean?
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: Well, I'm no detective, Ned, but you are hanging from the chandelier.
Mayor Ned McDodd: I just thought it might look better somewhere it can't fall on us and crush us in our sleep. (The chandelier starts falling down as he screams until it closely hits the ground, with him chuckles nervously)
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: What is going on?
(He starts getting out of the chandelier)
Mayor Ned McDodd: ... Hey, Hon... Did you ever get the feeling that you were being watched?
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: Um... yeah. Sure. I suppose.
Mayor Ned McDodd: And then you get the feeling that maybe that thing watching you is, aaauuuhh- a giant elephant!
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: Um...
Mayor Ned McDodd: And- You know how you get that weird feeling that your world is actually a tiny speck? And that elephant... that I talked about earlier, is carrying it around on a flower. And you realize that if you tell anybody, they'd think you were crazy. But you still feel the responsibility to keep everyone safe... You know that feeling?
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: Um... you know, I'm gonna have to say no... do you know that feeling?
Mayor Ned McDodd: ... dah! Pfft, hohohoho, no! (yawn) Wow, I am beat. Time to hit the hay, I guess.
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: Sweetheart, I know you're under a lot of stress. And if you're seeing elephants and flowers, then fine. Just don't tell anyone else that story, okay? And remember, it's not the end of the world.
Mayor Ned McDodd: The end of the world...?
(Back at the jungle)
Horton the Elephant: Horton to Mayor. Horton to Mayor. Come in Mayor, over.
(Back at Who-ville, the Mayor is at the rooftop, carrying the horn up high)
Mayor Ned McDodd: Horton? I get terrible reception here.
Horton: HOW ABOUT THIS?! IF I GET UP REAL CLOSE, CAN YOU READ ME?!
Mayor Ned McDodd: (screams while falling off the roof) Yep! Roger that! Are we at that safe place yet?
Horton the Elephant: Almost. I'm pretty sure the worst part's over. This is your elephant speaking. Just sit back, enjoy the ride, and we'll have you to Mount Nool in no time.
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: (off-screen) No, you can't have ice cream for breakfast.
McDodd Sisters: (off-screen) Pleeaase?
Horton the Elephant: Who's that? Is there someone else there?
Mayor Ned McDodd: Well, that's my wife and kids.
Horton the Elephant: You have a family...
Mayor Ned McDodd: I do indeed. (reveals his wallet and shows a really long pictures of his children) A beautiful wife, 96 daughters, and 1 son. (shows a picture of Jojo through his wallet)
Horton the Elephant: Hohohoho! Busy guy, haha.
Mayor Ned McDodd: And we all share one bathroom. You know how that is.
Horton the Elephant: Yeah! Don't I know it, heh. (whispered; to himself) Bathroom?
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: Ned?
Mayor Ned McDodd: Ahh- What?
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: Sweetheart, you know you're on the roof, right?
McDodd Sisters: (off-screen) Please, Mom.
Sally O'Malley-McDodd: (to her daughter) What's that? No, you need to go to bed, Daddy's having a breakdown. (to the Mayor) Ned? What are you up to now?
Mayor Ned McDodd: I was just about to put the kids to bed when I got off the roof. And I- That's the- That's what happened, right.
(Girls Bedroom)
Helga McDodd: Daddy?
Mayor Ned McDodd: Yes?
Helga McDodd: Can I have a glass of water?
Mayor Ned McDodd: Of course.
McDodd Sisters: Good Night. Me too! Me three! Me four! Me five! Me nine! Me twenty-eight! (And so on.)
Mayor Ned McDodd: Okaay.
