Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas

The Grinch: [after Max scared off some teen Whos] Well done, Max! Serves them right, those yuletide-loving, sickly-sweet, nog-sucking cheer mongers! [angrily picks up an onion] I really don't like 'em. Mm-mm. No, I don't. [hungrily eats the onion] <big>MAX!</big> [Max whimpers] Get my cloak! [Max runs back inside] I've been much too tolerant of these Who-venile delinquents, and their innocent, victim-less pranks. [rubs his pits with the onion] So they wanna get to know me, do they? [angrily throws away the onion] They want to spend a little quality time with the Grinch. [turns to the camera] I guess I could use a little... social interaction. [shows off a sinister-looking smile; the scene fades to Whoville with a view of Max and the Grinch's feet] Whoville Bike Men: Merry Christmas! Grinch: Oh, yeah. You bet, and ho, ho, ho, and... stuff. [The bikers fall down, blocking traffic.] Oh, my. Someone has vandalized that vehicle. You see, Max? The city is a dangerous place. Narrator: The Gri

Cindy Lou Who: But, Dad, I just don't understand something. Why won't anyone talk about the Grinch? Lou Lou Who: [puts stuff inside] You kids and the Grinch. You see, Cindy, the Grinch is a Who who...well, is actually not a Who. He's-- He's more of a-- Cindy: A what? Lou: Exactly, honey. And he's a What who... doesn't like Christmas. Take a look at his mailbox, sweetie. Not a single Christmas card in or out...ever. Cindy: But why? Lou: Well— Post Office Person 1: Lou, where's my mail? Post Office Person 2: Lou, I got the wrong mail here! Post Office Person 3: Lou, I got the wrong mail! Lou: Uh, I'll be right there. Whoop! Post Office Person 4: We got a problem! Lou: Alright. Uh, we'll straighten this out. Grinch: [at the back room of the post office with Max by the sorting machine; laughing with glee] It'll take them years to sort this out. This is his and now it's yours, and this is hers and now it's his! [laughs schemingly] And for the rest of you... [turns around by the sorting mach

Grinch: Well... Cindy: Help! Grinch: ...that worked out nicely. Cindy: Help! [big stamp stamps fragile on present; muffled] Help me! Somebody! Grinch: [to Max] Max, let's go. Our work here is finished. Sheesh! Cindy: Help me! Please! Help! Grinch: [sees Max biting his own cloak] That is not a chew toy! Stop it, Max! Get that out of your mouth! You have no idea where it's been! Cindy: Help! Grinch: [scowls; annoyed] Ohhh... Bleeding hearts of the world, UNITE! Cindy: Help! Help! Grinch: [saves Cindy] There! [grumbles] There. [angrily takes back his goofy mask] Give me that! DON'T YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE THINGS THAT DON'T BELONG TO YOU? WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU, YOU SOME KIND OF WILD ANIMAL?

Grinch: [catapults the red "Hazardous Waste" bag at the picture of Augustus] Oooh! Sweet. [singing] ♪ Be it ever so...heinous, there's no place like home. ♪ [He goes down the elevator] 1st floor, factory rejects. Those Whos are hard to frazzle, Max. But we did our worst, and that's all that matters. [referring to Cindy Lou] At least I scared the bejeebles outta that little girl in the post office. She'll be scarred for life if you're lucky. [He walks behind the wardrobe, humming a tune] Aaah! <big>DAAAAA-AAA-AAAAAAAAAAH!!!</big> [He creeps out from behind the wardrobe, refers to Cindy Lou again] Funny she didn't rat on us though. Must be afraid of reprisals. [He sees the tiny red heart beating on his X-ray] Yes! Down a size and <big>½</big> [breaks the fourth wall; to the audience watching] And this time, I'll keep it off. [He frowns and walks out of frame; to Max, shaking hands quickly] Get the stick, Max! Get the stick! [He throws his hand towards Max's direction; Max barks and runs
