“I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. I speak for the trees for the trees have no tongues.”
“I have spent my career as a prosecutor. I've only had one client in my entire life, and that has been the people.”
“I am the Lorax! I speak for the trees, Which you seem to be chopping as fast as you please; But I also speak for the brown Barbaloots, Who frolicked and played in their Barbaloot suits, Happily eating Truffula fruits. Now, since you've chopped the trees to the ground There's not enough Truffula fruit to go 'round! And my poor Barbaloots are all feeling the crummies Because they have gas, and no food, in their tummies.”
