JoJo and Horton the elephant take turns saying they're alone in the universe, each imagining strange places and yearning to be believed. They promise to be each other's friend, trading visions of flight and freedom in a whimsical, wistful exchange set to repetitive, song-like dialogue.
I'm alone in the universe, so alone in the universe. I found magic, but they won't see it. They all call me a lunatic. Okay, call me a lunatic. If I stand on my own, so be it. 'Cause I have wings, I can fly around the moon and far beyond the sky. One day soon, I know there you'll be. One small voice in the universe, one true friend in the universe. Who be you?
Believes in me. I'm alone in the universe, so alone in the universe. My own planets and stars are lonely.
Alone in the universe.
No one notices anything. Not one person is listening. They don't have any way of knowing.
Nobody knows that I have wings.
I am a genie.
I can fly.
I can fly high and far beyond the sky. One day soon, you will hear my plea. One small voice in the universe. One true friend in the universe. Please believe in me.
Hello? Hello?
Hello?
Who's there?
It's me, JoJo, the mayor's son.
I'm Horton, the elephant.
Are you real, or are you a very large stink?
Oh, I'm real, all right. If I was stink, that would mean—
In my thinks, I imagine a lot of strange things. I go to strange places as if I had wings. I love good thinking.
Well, for me, that goes double.
Sometimes my thinks will get me in trouble.
When you think, do you dream?
Bright colors.
Me too. I go to strange places, like, like Solus Saloon.
What do you think? Do you think he flies to the stars?
Little friend, no one else could have things such as ours. Yes, I have wings. I have wings to take you high and far and far beyond the sky. You called my name and you set me free. One small voice in the universe.
One true friend in the universe who believes in me.
Good night, Cho-Cho.
Good night, Horton. See you in Saw Saloon.
