Horton: Alright, I need to get this clover to the top of Mount Nool A.S.A.P.whatever that means. Probably, Act Swiftly, Awesome Pachyderm.
[He sees a rope bridge over a deadly chasam]
Horton: . It's a sheer drop to certain death.
Horton: There's a tiny person on that speck that needs my help!
Horton: I will make monkeys of these monkeys, for it is their destiny!
