Hildy Quotes in Horton Hears a Who! (2008)

Councilman: This is the chairman...

Horton: Idiot! You're finished in this town! Is that understood? Finished! You Boob!

[brief pause while the chairman splutters]

Horton: I'm just joking.

Councilman: Eh heh, good one.

The Mayor of Who-ville: Horton, I'd like you to meet my wife, Sally.

Sally O'Malley: You exist! This means my husband isn't crazy. Hooray!

The Mayor of Who-ville: And these are some of my daughters, Hildy, Helga, Hula, Heidi, and Hedy.

Hedy, Heidi, Hildy, Helga: Hi!

The Mayor of Who-ville: And this is Miss Yelp, my loyal assistant. And this is Dr. Larue.

Dr. Mary Lou Larue: You saved us!

The Mayor of Who-ville: And Burt from Accounting, and Mrs. McGillicuddy. And Mr. FarFloogin of the Cloogin FarFloogins. And the old man in the bathtub.

Sally O'Malley: Honey, let's not overwhelm the poor guy, he's never gonna remember all these names.

Horton: Well, I'll try my best: Sally, Chairman, Hildy, Helga, Hula, Heidi, and Hedy. Miss Yelp. Dr. Larue, Burt from accounting, Mrs. McGillicuddy, Mr. FarFloogin of the Cloogin FarFloogins. And wasn't there an old guy in a shower?

The Mayor of Who-ville: Mmm, Bathtub.

Horton: [a bit mad he didn't remember the name] Oh, Yeah!

Hildy: [singing] Butterfly mornings / And wildflower afternoons.

Hildy: You've been awful nice to me, Hogue. Never bothered you none what I am?

Cable Hogue: Hell no, it never bothered me. I enjoyed it. Now, what the hell are you? Human being. Try the best you can. We all got our own ways of living.

Hildy: And loving?

Cable Hogue: Gets mighty lonesome without it.

Cable Hogue: Josh, it's about time you earned your keep. Preach me a funeral sermon.

Hildy: Oh, for heaven's sake!

Cable Hogue: A good one. Don't make me out no saint but don't put me down to deep.

Reverend Joshua Sloan: You mean now?

Cable Hogue: Yeah. It's not knowing what they're going to say about you, that's all. Now all my life, I've been scared of this living. Now... got to do the other. Now come on now! I can't wait all day. I ain't got any time.

Hildy: [Talking about going to San Francisco] When I do, I'm gonna be the ladyest damn lady you saw.
