Max, what is this depressing bean? [Max barks] No, no, no. That's impossible. We can't be out of food. [looks through his kitchen and finds that he's run out of food and drinks] Wha... Where's my personal reserve of moose juice? And goose juice? My emergency stash of Who Hash? And my secret slew of frozen Beezle-Nut stew? [sighs] I specifically bought enough food to last until January. How much emotional eating have I been doing?

Dialogue

Oh! Thanks, mister. [The Grinch puts the carrot on a snowman's face, but pushes the head off] Hey! [The Grinch drops the carrot in kid's hand and walks off with Max] You're a mean one, mister. [The Grinch throws the snowball at him, making him muffled scream.]

Grinch: [picks up a pickle jar and pulls a pickle out of the lid, and spits it out] What's this? Who Lady: Excuse me, are you getting that? I need it for my Christmas stuffing. Grinch: Mmm... no.

Cindy-Lou Who: You alright, Mom? Donna: Me? Oh, yes. Never better. Ah. What did you put down here anyway, a roller skate? Cindy-Lou: No. Just better. Mrs. Wilbur and I made cookies. Donna: Ah, that explains it. Come have some eggs. Cindy-Lou: I can't. I gotta go mail something. But I made the beds and put away the twins' toys. Donna: Thanks, sweetheart. You didn't have to do that. Cindy-Lou: I don't mind.

Dialogue

Donna: Wait, where are you going, again? Cindy-Lou: I told you, to mail a letter. Donna: OK, but just come here first and get your breakfast. Cindy-Lou: Mom, I gotta go. Cindy-Lou: Alright... Donna: [Donna gives her a kiss on her cheek] Okay. Now you can go.

Dialogue

Grinch: ARRGH!! What is wrong with you?! Didn't you see me? I mean, if that was a sled, I-I, well I'd be dead! [takes the tube off his torso] Cindy-Lou: I'm sorry for bumping into you, but this is really important. Have you seen my letter? Grinch: [groans] And that right there, Max, is the true nature of the Who child. Just right to, "Me, me, me. My letter. Me, me, me." Cindy-Lou: No! You don't understand. This isn't just a letter. This is the letter. Grinch: [sarcastically; turns to face her] Oh, really? Let me guess: small child, December 20th, rapidly searching for a REALLY IMPORTANT lost letter? Might it be your list of demands to Santa? Cindy-Lou: They're not demands! It's more like a wish. And what I'm wishing for is really, really important. Grinch: Well then, why send a letter? I mean, if it's really that important, you should just ask him face-to-face. [mockingly] Oh, but that's right! No one's ever seen him! My bad. [turns to leave] C'mon, Max. Let's get out of here. Cindy-Lo

Dialogue

Grinch: [mourning by his organ] Why... for 53 years, I've put up with it... now. I must stop this Christmas from coming. But how? Narrator: Then he got an idea. An awful idea. The Grinch got a wonderful, awful idea. Grinch: [smiling evilly] I know just what to do. I'm going to steal their Christmas! [lightning strikes] ALL the trimmings, ALL the trappings, ALL their gifts and garlands! When they wake up and see it's gone, then all their joy and happiness will be gone as well! So, prepare yourself, Max! For tomorrow, WE BEGIN! [echoes as lightning strikes again]

Dialogue

Today was great! We did mean things and we did them in style. Max, you know the rules. You sleep in your bed, and I sleep in-- Oh, no, no, not you, too. I don't believe this. Max, did you teach him puppy eyes? [more whining; he sighs and gives in] Fine. This one time.

Dialogue

And now, the question we have all been waiting for: How will I steal Christmas? Well, prepare to have your little doggy mind blown. Boop! [tilts the green blackboard] TA-DA! [chuckles] That's right! I become... Santa Claus! [Max grunts confusedly] But instead of giving all the joy and happiness, I'll take it away! If he can deliver Christmas to the whole world in one night, then I can certainly steal it from little old Whoville. I mean, come on. What's Santa has that I don't? [Max barks; frowns] That's hurtful.

Dialogue

Cindy-Lou: [thinking the Grinch is actually Santa] Wow. I can't believe it's really you. Grinch: Uh... yeah. Cindy-Lou: I'm so sorry about the trap and everything, but I really need-- [sees the tree shoved halfway into the chimney] Hey! Why are you taking our Christmas tree? Grinch: [does a spit-take in shock, worried that his cover is about to be blown] Well, uh, one of the lights wasn't working, so I thought I'd take it back to the workshop and see if I could fix it. Cindy-Lou: I didn't know you did that. Grinch: [chuckles] Yeah. Sure. Now, why don't you go back upstairs to bed, and then when you wake up, the tree will be fixed, and your presents will be waiting under it. Cindy-Lou: Wait. You don't understand. I don't want presents. Grinch: Of course you do. Everyone wants presents. Cindy-Lou: No, no, really, I don't. I want you to help my mom. Grinch: [flabbergasted] Y-Your mom? Cindy-Lou: Yeah. She works so hard and is always doing stuff for other people. And I just want her to be

Grinch: Well, everyone, I just wanted to say that I've spend my entire life hating Christmas and everything about it, but then I see it wasn't Christmas I hated. It was being alone. but I'm not alone anymore. And I have all of you to thank for it, especially this little girl right here. Ma'am, your daughter's kindness changed my life. Donna: That's my little girl. Bricklebaum: Oh, that was beautiful! That's my best friend. Cindy-Lou: Merry Christmas, Mr. Grinch. Grinch: Merry Christmas, Cindy-Lou. Narrator: And the Grinch raised his glass and led the Whos in a toast. Grinch: [gratefully raises his glass] To kindness and love, the things we need most.
