Ben 10 meets the Lorax/Transcript

Opening
Lorax: Hello, everybody. Thanks for coming. (reads the note) I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. And I'd like to say a few words, if you please. Regarding the story that you're about to see. It actually happened. Just take it from me. But there's more to this story than what's on the page, so please pay attention while I set the stage.

(Curtain opens to Thneedville.)

Lorax: [v.o.] We open in Thneedville, a city they say that was plastic and fake, and they liked it that way! A town without nature, not one living tree. So, what happened to them? Cue the music! Let's see.

Bee: Buzz. Buzz.

In Thneedville,

it's a brand new dawn

With brand new cars

and houses and lawns

Here in

Got-all-that-we-need-ville

In Thneedville,

we manufacture our trees

Each one is made

in factories

And uses 96 batteries

In Thneedville,

the air's not so clean

So we buy it fresh

It comes out this machine!

In Satisfaction's-

guaranteed-ville

In Thneedville,

we don't want to know

Where the smog and trash

and chemicals go

I just went swimming,

and now I glow

In Thneedville,

we have fun year round

We surf and snowboard

right in town

We thank the Lord

for all we've got

Including this

brand new parking lot!

Parking lot!

Oh, look,

it's Aloysius O'Hare

Aloysius O'Hare

The man who found

a way to sell air

And became a zillionaire

Hip-hip-hooray!

In Thneedville,

we love living this way

It's like living in paradise

It's perfect!

And that's how it will stay

Oh, yeah!

Here in

Love-the-life-we-lead-ville

Destined-to-succeed-ville

We-are-all-agreed-ville

We love it here in...

Thneedville!

Yes!

Oh, hi, Ted.

Oh, hey, Audrey. Hi.

Did your ball land

in my backyard again?

What? No.

A model airplane,

this time.

Hey, do you want to

see something cool?

Come on.

Whoa!

Did you...

Did you paint this?

Do you like it?

What?

Are you kidding?

This is amazing!

What are those?

Those are trees.

Real ones.

They used to grow

all around here.

And people said that

the touch of their tufts

was softer than

anything, even silk.

And they smelled

like butterfly milk!

Wow! What does

that even mean?

I know, right?

Oh, yeah.

What I want more than anything

in the whole world is to see

a real living tree

growing in my backyard.

So if, say... I'm just

thinking out loud here.

If a guy somehow

got you one...

I'd probably

marry him on the spot.

I bet that sounds crazy.

Does that sound crazy?

No! Not crazy.

Not crazy at all.
