is there anything to eat to keep you alive? It's probably not gonna be easy to get food, so do you have rations saved up?

Do you think i wasn't thinking about it?

and the only thing i found was AHG....forget it

but....I also have this

my last marshmallow

[bankrupt-ler]

I know the whole situation around you is quite stressful, so let me ask a question on another topic. at all interviews and in various places, you appear in your iconic suit, so… Mr. Once-ler, do you have any other clothes in your wardrobe? something just as stylish? a hundred of the same green suits huh?

HEY! THEY SAID NO ONE WOULD COME HERE ANYMORE! although wait, yes.... yes i am gonna to answer that

well, i would show you the hundreds of suits i had many of them were simply EXTRAVAGANT!...just that all this forced me to get rid of them and now i only have hundreds of these green suits left...

i must admit, it's too iconic to only have 1 or 2 replicas of it... right?

[bankrupt-ler]

Ahem, this question is a bit personal, but did you have a girlfriend or partner?

(sorry)

we're getting personal huh

and no, i didn't have it

[bankrupt-ler]

why is your hat kinda hot thoo

....

[bankrupt-ler]

Hi, Mr. Onceler, i know how hard it can be to go through this, are You handling this situation with someone? or are You... all alone?

i would like to say...you know people are still with me but now it's obvious that's not the case

[bankrupt-ler]

Hey Mr.Onceler.

Do you know anyone named Norma?

mmmmm.....norma??? norma???

Oh,If you are referring to Norma W., yes...I heard about her and a LOT She was one of the main journalists who talked about me..... and it wasn't in a good way.

[bankrupt-ler]

Everything is lost now, Onceler, he can't do anything but look for hours and hours at what used to be the valley...

"uh?"

"Could you say open the door? I-"

"I forgot it"

"now I go" I forgot....I forgot that now no one answers the doors, I forgot that I no longer have assistants

He takes his glasses and walks towards the reception

"Now I open the door for you...you can come in"

.....

"Mr.Once-ler" the voice of an old man is heard, followed by whispers

"w-what are you doing here? You told me that there was nothing to do to save this, I don't want any problems"

"We come to do business...."Mr Once-ler""

"what?" Onceler pauses in confusion, takes a step back but avoids appearing weaker than he is now "I already told you, I-I have nothing to offer you."

The man looks at Once-ler in disbelief...he pauses a few times and then someone else speaks

"According to your economists and accountants...You still have some money saved, right?"

Onceler....tries to talk, but can't say much...After a few seconds a woman starts talking

"You owe us a lot Once-ler... a lot, you have tarnished your reputation... and you have left us almost bankrupt... at least you were the one who put the most money into this, so Yes...we come to ask you to pay us 20% of the damages"

onceler freezes for a moment

"I-DON'T-HAVE-ANY- MONEY! and what i have won't cover your stupid 20%"

The old man takes a step towards Onceler,the others remain silent, while some continue whispering among themselves

He extends one of his hands to put it on Onceler's shoulder, and in a calm tone he speaks

"Listen Onceler...we are business people, you more than anyone know how all this works, your lawyers and people won't help you this time, so..."

He pauses to squeeze Onceler's shoulder and look him in the eyes

"Give us the damn money, and we'll get out of here...we'll forget what you did, we'll make people forget, take it as a new beginning, will you? We worked these years together....you know we will accomplish this"

Onceler looks down to see the hand on his shoulder and then look into the man's eyes...those people worked for him for years, now everyone betrays him, everyone is saving themselves except him,but....he had another option?....he looks down again to make his last move.

[bankrupt-ler]

Are you having a bun in your oven?

ooo- okay....I think there were too many questions for today...I'm just going to go get some air-

[bankrupt-ler]

Mr. Onceler! Some people have been talking about the Lorax, do You mind clarifying to us what happened to him?

I think...I think that's the only thing I don't want to talk about right now....

[bankrupt-ler]

Dear, Mr. Onceler,

Great idea. Maybe with the money you made from selling the thneeds, you could cultivate the field you destroyed.

It's-it's a good idea but

i would do it if only I had some seeds

[bankrupt-ler]

What about the lorax, has he been annoying lately?

I wish....

i wish

[bankrupt-ler]

do you like beans

I used to like them but I ate them VERY daily at home so...I stopped liking them

[bankrupt-ler]

Is your hat alive?

Why....why are you guys so interested in my hat?

uhmmmm

[bankrupt-ler]

Mr onceler! This might have already been asked but how has your staff handled/ reacted to the bankruptcy?? And how do you think this will change Greenville, especially the people?

It's funny that they always ask me and I have to explain it...they just WOOP!! and they stopped helping me

so whoop deep op! I'll still be here

and I don't know... I don't know what will happen to the people of Greenville-Thneedville....i just hope they can live well- I'm sorry

[bankrupt-ler]

Did you have in mind that you would change the world in this way? destroying the ecosystem and all that :p



No, it was never my intention to do all this I didn't even think that I would end up changing the world in this way

I was so excited to continue filling the world with thneeds that I forgot what I was destroying...

[bankrupt-ler]

HII ONCELER!!! could I perhaps have a teensy weensy smooch?? 🤭🤭

you know what? Here, I'll give it to you, I don't need it anymore...iI don't care what you do with it, just...

[bankrupt-ler]

Hey oncie, uh, i just wanted to say that you have us, there is a lot of people, like me, that we love you, we can help you if you want :)

.....thanks
