Partager la citation sur facebook [After Martha says that her gifts from Mayor May Who are dazzling and The Grinch angrily scratched her new car from Mayor May Who] Of course, they are. That's what it's all about, isn't it? [Laughing]That's what it's always been about! Gifts. Gifts. Gifts, gifts, gifts, gifts, gifts, gifts! Do you know what happens to your gifts? They all come to me. In your garbage. You see what I'm saying? In your garbage! I could hang myself with all the bad Christmas neckties I found at the dump! And the avarice! The avarice never ends! "I want golf clubs! I want diamonds! I want a pony so I can ride it twice, get bored, and sell it to make glue!" Look, I don't wanna make waves, but this whole Christmas season is stupid, stupid, stupid! [looks up to and advances towards Martha May Whovier] There is, however... one... teeny-tiny... Christmas tradition... I find... quite... meaningful. [snatches up a sprig of mistletoe from Martha] Mistletoe. Now, pucker up and KISS IT, Whoville! Boi-i-i-i-i-i-ing! [puts a bit of mistletoe over his butt, and then waggles it; later shaves off the Mayor's hair with the same razor he gave the Grinch to tease him] Uh, oh. Somebody's... fabulous! [kisses the Mayor]

They'll bang on tong-tinglers, blow their foo-flounders, they'll crash on jang-jinglers, and bounce on boing-bounders! [Narrator: Then Who's young and old will sit down to a feast, and they'll feast and they'll feast.] [while jumping angrily] And they'll feast, feast, feast, feast!

Partager la citation sur facebook [first words of the movie] Inside a snowflake, like the one on your sleeve, there happened a story you must see to believe.
Way up in the mountains, in the high range of Pontoos, lay the small town of Whoville: The Home of the Whos.
Ask any Who, and they'll have this to say, "There is no place like Whoville around Christmas Day."
Every window was flocked, every lamppost was dressed and the Whoville band marched in their Christmasy best.
Arbor Day was fine and Easter was pleasant and every St. Fizzin's day, they ate a Fizz pheasant, but every Who knew, from their 12 toes to their snout they loved Christmas the most, without a single Who doubt.

Partager la citation sur facebook Yes, every Who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot… but the Grinch, who lived just north of Whoville… did not.

Partager la citation sur facebook The Grinch hated Christmas. The whole Christmas season.
Now, please, don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
It could be that his head wasn't screwed on just right.
Or it could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all… may have been that his heart was 2 sizes too small.

Partager la citation sur facebook Sweet little Cindy didn't know what to do.
In her head, bum-tumbled a conflict or 2 - "If the Grinch was so bad, then why did he save me? Maybe he wasn't so bad Maybe. Just maybe."

Partager la citation sur facebook Cindy Lou had some questions in her curious heart. Why did the Grinch hate Christmas? Where did it all start? With her dad's blabbacorder, she wouldn't give an inch. [Cindy Lou Who: In your own words, please tell me everything you know about the Grinch.]

Partager la citation sur facebook So whatever the reason, his heart or his shoes, he stood outside his cave, hating the Whos. [Grinch: ...Alphabetically. [points to name] Aardvarkian Abakenezer Who, I... HATE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!!! Aaron B. Benson Who, I hate you. Hate, hate, hate. Hate, hate, hate. Double hate. [sees a name (maybe Mayor Augustus May Who) in the phonebook; venomously] LOATHE ENTIRELY! [hears music playing in Whoville] Nutcrackers. It's their Whobilation.] He snarled with a sneer. [Grinch: Tomorrow is Christmas. It's practically here. MAX! Fetch me my sedative! Now to take care of those pesky memories. (Hits himself with a hammer, knocking himself out cold)]

Partager la citation sur facebook The whipperwinds whipped high above the Who town.
A trip or a slip, you'd slide all the way down, but this girl had a mission.
She knew what to do. She'd invite the Grinch herself, that brave Cindy Lou.

Partager la citation sur facebook [Clock Operator: Only 4 hours till Christmas!] Yes, the Grinch knew tomorrow all the Who girls and boys would wake bright and early and rush for their toys. [Grinch: And then, oh, the noise! Oh, the noise, noise, noise, noise! They'll bang on tong-tinglers They'll blow their floo-flounders. They'll crash on Jang-jinglers and bounce on boing-bounders!] Then Whos young and old would sit down to a feast. and they'll feast, and they'll feast. [Grinch: And they'll feast, feast, feast, feast! They'll eat their Who-pudding and rare Who roast beast, which is something I just cannot stand in the least. Oh, no. I'M SPEAKING IN RHY-YME! AAAHHHH! BLAST YOU, WHOS! [sobs]] And the more the Grinch thought of what Christmas would bring, the more the Grinch thought [Grinch: I must stop this whole thing. Why for year after year, I've put up with it now. I must stop this Christmas from coming! But how? I mean, in what way?]

Partager la citation sur facebook [Grinch: [pulls Max out of snow, not noticing the snow beard] If you're not going to help me, then you might as well… [stops; notices the snow beard on Max]] Then he got an idea; An awful idea. The Grinch got a wonderful, awful idea. [Grinch: I know... just what to do. [cut to red fabric being cut by the Grinch]] The Grinch laughed in his throat… [Grinch: Ha.] And he made a quick Santy Claus hat and a coat. [crunch; Grinch shouts in shock, and sees his fingers sewn on the red fabric and faints.] And he chuckled and clucked at this great Grinchy trick. [Grinch: With this coat and this hat, I'll look just like Saint Nick! Ho, ho, ho!]

Partager la citation sur facebook [Santa Claus: Ho-ho-ho!] [Grinch: Fat boy should be finishing up anytime now. Talk about a recluse. He only comes out once a year, and he never catches any flak for it! Probably lives up there to avoid the taxes.] [Santa Claus: [flying with his reindeer] Merry Christmas!] [Grinch: Oopsie. Forgot about the reindeer.] Did that stop the old Grinch? No. The Grinch simply said: [Grinch: If I can't find a reindeer, I'll make one instead. [reaches for Max, who whimpers and runs away.] Oh, Ma-a-a-a-a-AXXXX!] So he called his dog Max. Then he took some red thread… and tied a big horn... on top of his head.

Partager la citation sur facebook All their windows were dark, quiet snow filled the air. All the Whos were all dreaming sweet dreams without care when he came to the first little house on the square. [Grinch: Welcome to Whoville, Max!]

Partager la citation sur facebook [Grinch: [arrives on the roof with Max] C'mon, Max. It's our first stop!] The old Grinchy Claus hissed, and he climbed to the roof, empty bags in his fist. [the Grinch prepares to go down the chimney with rope on his feet] He'd slide down the chimney, a rather tight pinch. But if Santa could do it, then so could the Grinch. [Grinch: [imitating sports announcer] He's planning a double-twisting interrupted by forward-flying 2 1/2 with a combo tuck and pike… High degree of difficulty. [jumps high in the air as bungee jumping while vocalizing] Whoo! [leans closer to the chimney] LAA-LAAA-LAAAAAAAA!!! [lands in the chimney upside down, and gets stuck since he gained a couple of pounds from the Whobilation]] He got stuck only once... for a moment or 2. [Grinch: Blasted water weight. Goes right to my hips. [struggles his arms to free himself as he slides down and lands and hits his head by the fireplace] Ow! Gee! [looks at the view of the living room]] Then he stuck his head out of the fireplace flue... [Grinch: [to the narrator; breaking the 4th wall again] Shh. A little more stealth, please.] [whispering] ...Where the little Who stockings are all hung in a row. [Grinch: These stockings...] [normal voice] He grinned. [Grinch: ...Are the first thing(s) to go. [picks out a jar of moths] Okay, fellas. Chow time. [frees the moths, sticks his head back up just as the moths eat the stockings]]

Partager la citation sur facebook Then he slunk to the icebox. [Grinch: [hugs the fridge into place.] Slunk. [opens up the fridge]] He eyed the Whos feast. He took the Who pudding! [The Grinch throws a plate of Who pudding away] He took... the Roast Beast! [Grinch: [imitating football player] HIKE! [tosses the Roast Beast in a football hike position, and messes everything up the fridge]] He cleaned out the icebox as quick as a flash. Why, that Grinch… he even took their last can of Who Hash. [The Grinch opens up the cupboard to reveal the last can of Who Hash inside in it just as Cindy opens the door.] Then he stuffed all the food up the chimney with glee. [Grinch: And now...] Grinned The Grinch. [Grinch: [snatches the tree] ...I'll stuff up the tree! [walks to the fireplace with the Christmas tree] And the Grinch grabbed the tree as he started to shove... when he heard a small sound like the coo of a dove. [Cindy Lou Who: Excuse me.] [the Grinch stops, and hides behind the tree] The Grinch had been caught by this tiny Who daughter who'd got out of bed for a cup of cold water. [Cindy Lou Who: Santa Claus? What are you doing with our tree?] But, you know, that old Grinch was so smart and so slick... [Grinch coughs] ...He thought up a lie, and he thought it up quick. [Grinch: [imitating Santa] Why, my sweet little tot.] The fake Santa Claus lied. [Grinch: There's a light on this tree...that won't light on one side. So I'm taking it home to my workshop, my dear. [laughs, and Cindy giggles] I'll fix it up there, and I'll bring it back here.] [Cindy Lou Who: Santa, what's Christmas really about?] [Grinch: Vengeance! Er, I mean... presents... I suppose.] [Cindy Lou Who: I was afraid of that.] And his fib fooled the child. Then he patted her head, and he got her a drink and he sent her to bed.

Partager la citation sur facebook And when Cindy Lou went up with her cup... [Grinch: Nice kid. Bad judge of character.] ...He went to the chimney and stuffed the tree up. [the Grinch stuffed the tree up the Chimney, grabs the Christmas lights, and goes up the chimney] And the last thing he took was the log for their fire. On their walls, he left nothing but some hooks and some wire. And the one speck of food that he'd left in the house, was a crumb that was even too small for a mouse. Then he slithered and slunk with a smile most unpleasant, around each Who home, and he took every present.

Up the side of Mt. Crumpit.
He rode with his load to the tip-top to dump it.

Partager la citation sur facebook [Grinch: Oh, the wailing and the gnashing of teeth. The bellowing of the bitterly bummed out! It'll be like music to my ears! [strains harder, and stops to hear faint singing] Then the Grinch heard a sound rising over the snow. It started in low. Then it started to grow. [Grinch: Huh? Huh?] But the sound wasn't sad. Why this sounded merry. But it was merry. Very. Every Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small... were singing without any presents at all. He hadn't stopped Christmas from coming. It came. [Grinch: Somehow or other, it came just the same!] [Cindy Lou Who: Mr. Grinch?] And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling. [Grinch: How could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags!] And he puzzled and puzzled, 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something...he hadn't before. [Grinch: Maybe...Christmas...] He thought... [Grinch: ...Doesn't... come from a store. Maybe Christmas… perhaps… [warmly] ...Means a little bit more. [gets a sudden thump in his chest] Max! Help me! I'm... feeling! [wheezes, and sees his small heart growing]] And what happened then? Well, in Whoville they say that the Grinch's small heart... grew 3 sizes... that day.

Partager la citation sur facebook [last lines] So he brought back the toys and the food for the feast.
And he, he himself, the Grinch, carved the roast beast.

[Narrator: But you know, that old Grinch was so smart and so slick… [Grinch coughs] ...He thought up a lie, and he thought it up quick.] [Grinch: [imitating Santa] Why-hy-hyy, my sweet little tot!] [Narrator: The fake Santa Claus lied.] [Grinch: There's a light on this tree that won't... light on one side, so I'm taking it home to my w-wo-orkshop, my dear. [laughs and Cindy giggles] I'll fix it up there… and I'll bring it... back here.] Santa, what's Christmas really about? [Grinch: [pops out through the tree, startling Cindy] Vengeance! Er, I mean… presents... I suppose.] I was afraid of that. [Narrator: And his fib fooled the child. Then he patted her head, and he got her a drink and he sent her to bed.] Santa? [Grinch: [sharply] What?!] Don't forget the Grinch. I know he's mean, and hairy and scary... His hands might be cold and clammy. But I think he's actually... sweet. [Grinch: "Sweet"!? You think he's sweet?] Merry Christmas, Santa.

Partager la citation sur facebook The Grinch: [after Max scared off some teen Whos] Well done, Max! Serves them right, those yuletide-loving... sickly-sweet, nog-sucking cheer mongers! [picks up an onion] I really don't like 'em. Mm-mm. No, I don't. [eats the onion] MAX! [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? [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!
The 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 Grinch hated Christmas. The whole Christmas season.
Who Officer: Top of the day.
Mr. Grinch: Flatfoot.
Narrator: Now, please, don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
Grinch: [gives two Who girls a bandsaw] Hey, kids. Here's a present for ya. Be sure to run real fast with it now. All right, come on. Double time. Let's go! Move, move, move, move, move!
Narrator: It could be that his head wasn't screwed on just right. Or it could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. But I think that the most likely reason of all...
Who: Merry Christmas!
Grinch: Is it?
Narrator: ...May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.
Whoville Hat Salesman: Hey, stranger! Won't let you go until you buy a chapeau! [The Grinch pulls off his mask, loudly belches, blows odor on him, making him fall. The Grinch pulls his mask back on, and laughs evilly.]

Post Office Person 4: We got a problem!
Lou: All right. Uh, we'll straighten 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 machine, then starts throwing everyone's mail in the wrong boxes] ...Jury duty, Jury duty, Jury duty, blackmail, pink slip, chain letter, eviction notice, Jury duty!

Lou: Come on, let's go home.
Narrator: "Maybe. Just maybe."

I can't cancel that again. "7:00; Wrestle with myself loathing…" I'm booked! Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9:00, I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness. But what would I wear?! [goes to kitchen, and grab tablecloth, without disturbing items, but returns and knocks off the stuff from the table; poses in the mirror as Max barks] It's not a dress, it's a kilt!

[Max pulls the rope, sending the Grinch falling through the garbage chute towards Whoville] Maybe I should flip a coin! [screams as the picture spins rapidly from him and stops to Cindy-Lou Who]
Augustus May Who: Well, I-I guess the award goes to the, the runner up.
Whobriss: That's right. A man for whom Christmas comes, not once a year, but every minute of every day. A handsome, noble man. A man who's had his tonsils removed twice.
Augustus May Who: [chuckles] That's an interesting story. You see, what happened was--

Partager la citation sur facebook Grinch: [to Whos] Boo. [the crowd screams in horror] Hmm. Hot crowd, hot crowd. I believe I'm here to... [licks chops] ...accept an award of some kind. And... the child... mentioned a check?
Cindy: No, I didn't.
Grinch: Alright, then. Give me the award. COME ON! WHILE I'M YOUNG!
Augustus: Don't you worry, Mr. Holiday Cheermeister, you'll get your award. But first, a little family reunion. They nursed you, they clothed you. Here they are, your old biddies!
Grinch: Are you two still living?

Partager la citation sur facebook Santa Claus: [heartly] Ho-ho-ho!
Grinch: Fatboy should be finishing up anytime now. Talk about a recluse. He only comes out once a year, and he never catches any flak for it! Probably lives up there to avoid the taxes.
Santa: [flying with his reindeer, lead by Rudolph] Merry Christmas!
Grinch: Oopsie. Forgot about the reindeer. (All I need is a reindeer.)
Narrator: (The Grinch looked around,
but since reindeer are scarce, there was none to be found.)
Did that stop the old Grinch? No. The Grinch simply said...
Grinch: If I can't find a reindeer, I'll make one instead. [reaches for Max, who whimpers and runs away] Oh, Maaaaaa-AAAAAAX!!
Narrator: So he called his dog Max.
Then he took some red thread… and tied a big horn... on top of his head.
[The Grinch dresses Max with reindeer antlers and a red nose as Rudolph. He claps his hands, makes a gleeful noise and puts on a director's cap, mimicking Ron Howard, the director.]
Grinch: [to Max as Rudolph] Alright, you're a reindeer. Here's your motivation: Your name is Rudolph, you're a freak with the red nose and nobody likes you. Then one day, Santa picks you and you save Christmas. [Max stares at him blankly] No, forget that part. We'll improvise, just keep kind of loosy-goosy. You hate Christmas, you're gonna steal it! Saving Christmas was a lousy ending. Way too commercial. [sits down on director's chair and holds up megaphone; amplified] ACTION! [Max pops off the red nose; jumps out of seat, ecstatic] BRILLIANT!! You reject your own nose because it represents the glitter of Commercialism! Why didn't I think of it?! Cut, print, check the gate, moving on.

Narrator: ...The old Grinchy Claus hissed, and he climbed to the roof, empty bags in his fist. [the Grinch prepares to go down the chimney with rope on his feet]
He'd slide down the chimney, a rather tight pinch
but if Santa could do it, then so could the Grinch.
Grinch: [imitating sports announcer] He's planning a double-twisting interrupted by forward-flying 2-and-a-half with a combo tuck and pike. High degree of difficulty. [jumps high in the air as bungee jumping while vocalizing] Whoo! [leans closer to the chimney] ♪ LAA-LAAA-LAAAAAAA!! ♪ [lands in the chimney upside down, and gets stuck since he gained a couple of pounds from the Whobilation]
Narrator: He got stuck only once... for a moment or 2.
Grinch: Blasted water weight. Goes right to my hips. [struggles his arms to free himself as he slides down and lands and hits his head by the fireplace] Ow! Gee! [looks at the view of the living room]
Narrator: Then he stuck his head out of the fireplace flue...
Grinch: [to the narrator; breaking the 4th wall again] Shh! A little more stealth, please.
Narrator: [quietly] ...Where the little Who stockings are all hung in a row.
Grinch: (That's better. Anyways...) These stockings...
Narrator: [normal voice] He grinned.
Grinch: ...Are the first thing(s) to go. [picks out a jar of moths] Okay, fellas. Chow time. [frees the moths, sticks his head back up just as the moths eat the stockings. Then, the Grinch lowers a hose, and sucks everything into his bag, as he laughs evilly]
Narrator: Then he slunk to the icebox. [The Grinch hugs the fridge into place.]
Grinch: Slunk. [opens up the fridge] Eee.
Narrator: He eyed the Whos' feast.
He took the Who-Pudding. [The Grinch throws a plate of Who pudding away.]
He took... the Roast Beast.
Grinch: [imitating football quarterback] HIKE! [tosses the Roast Beast in a football hike position]
Narrator: [as the Grinch messes everything up the fridge] He cleaned out that icebox as quick as a flash.
Why, that Grinch, he even took their last can of Who-Hash. [The Grinch opens up the cupboard to reveal a last can of Who-Hash inside in it just as Cindy opens her bedroom door.]
Then he stuffed all the food up the chimney with glee.
Grinch: And now...
Narrator: Grinned The Grinch.
Grinch: [snatches the tree] ...I'll stuff up the tree.
Narrator: And the Grinch grabbed the tree, and he started to shove!
When he heard a small sound like the coo of a dove.
Cindy: Excuse me.
Grinch: Eee! [stops and hides behind the tree]
Narrator: The Grinch had been caught by this tiny Who daughter
who'd got out of bed for a cup of cold water.
Cindy: Santa Claus, what are you doing with our tree?
Narrator: But you know, that old Grinch was so smart and so slick...
[Grinch coughs]
...he thought up a lie, and he thought it up quick.
Grinch: [imitating Santa] Why-hy-hyy, my sweet little tot...
Narrator: The fake Santa Claus lied.
Grinch: ...There's a light on this tree that won't... light on one side, so I'm taking it home to my w-wo-orkshop, my dear. [laughs and Cindy giggles]
I'll fix it up there… and I'll bring it... back here.
Cindy: Santa, what's Christmas really about?
Grinch: [pops out through the tree, startling Cindy] Vengeance! Er, I mean... presents... I suppose.
Cindy: Hmm. I was afraid of that.
Narrator: And his fib fooled the child.
Then he patted her head, and he got her a drink and he sent her to bed.
Cindy: Santa?
Grinch: [sharply] What?!
Cindy: Don't forget the Grinch. I know he's mean and hairy and smelly. His hands might be cold and clammy… but I think he's actually kinda... sweet.
Grinch: "Sweet"?! You think he's sweet?
Cindy: (Mm-hm.) Merry Christmas, Santa.
[Grinch flinches, covers his ears and groans, but Cindy Lou goes back to bed.]
Narrator: And when Cindy Lou went up with her cup...
Grinch: Nice kid. Bad judge of character. (Now... where was I? Oh, yeah. Back to work.)
Narrator: ...he went to the chimney and stuffed the tree up. [the Grinch stuffs the tree up the Chimney, grabs the Christmas lights and goes up the chimney] (Then he went up the chimney himself, the old liar.)
And the last thing he took was the log for their fire.
On their walls, he left nothing but some hooks and some wire.
And the one speck of food that he'd left in the house was a crumb, that was even too small for a mouse.
Then he slithered and slunk with a smile most unpleasant, around each Who home, and he took every present.
Grinch: [uses a saw to cut a hole with a Christmas tree on top of it, and it falls down as the he emerges from the hole] Clearance sale. Everything must go. [sucks up Christmas stuff even the cat on a chair, and takes it out.] What... now? [a cat attacks his face]
[The scene cuts to the Grinch snatching the ring in a box away from Martha, then forms an oval on the window with hands pressed by the glass while sucking on it. He opens the bedroom door to the Mayor of Whoville, and chortles in amusement, but quickly covers his mouth as Augustus talks in his sleep]
Augustus: Martha, have you ever kissed a man who lost his tonsils twice?
Grinch: [imitating Martha May Whovier] No, silly. [picks up Max] But it's an experience that I've always longed for. Kiss me, you fool! [This makes Max's grow big eyes, making the Mayor holding up bright teeth as the Grinch puts a hook on the bottom of the bed.]

Partager la citation sur facebook Grinch: [noticing the sleigh had ran out of gas because the bag is full; Max barks] Hmm. What are you laughing at... Rudolph? [later on Mt. Crumpit] It's all you, Maxie!
Narrator: 3,000 feet up.
Up the side of Mt. Crumpit.
He rode with his load to the tip-top to dump it.
Grinch: Okay, whoa! WHOOOAA!! [gets off the sleigh] We... DID IIIIIIIIITTTTTTT!!! [chanting] We did it, we did it! That wasn't so bad, was it, Max? [Max now whimpers once again] (Anywho... This year, they'll find out that no Christmas will be coming.) They'll be waking up now. [spots at the bottom of the edge view of Whoville] And I know just what they'll do.
All those Whos down in Whoville, will all cry... [The Whos were now singing "Boo Hoo" sober about stolen Christmas]
Officer Houlihan: What an embarrassment! I've been robbed! [heads inside the police car, making the Mayor's bed come loose]
Mayor May Who: Whoa! Whoa! [the bed stops]
Office Houlihan [gasps] Mayor May Who? Oh, dearest me!
Mayor May Who: Well... I wonder who could have done this. [Ones of the Whos help the Mayor put a robe on. He puts the robe on] tell you people one thing: Invite the Grinch, destroy Christmas [starts pounding the bed] INVITE THE GRINCH, DESTROY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!! But, did anyone listen to me?
Who #1: I did.
Who #2: No.
Mayor May Who: You chose to listen -- to a little not-to-be-taken-seriously girl, who hasn't even grown into her nose yet. [looks at Cindy Lou Who] Cindy, I hope you're very proud of what you've done.

Partager la citation sur facebook Grinch: Now, for the final note in my symphony of downright nasty not-niceness. The crescendo of my odious opus! [starts pushing the sled] Oh, the wailing and the gnashing of teeth. The bellowing of the bitterly bummed out! It'll be like music to my ears! [strains harder, and stops to hear faint singing] (Hmm...?)
Narrator: Then the Grinch heard a sound rising over the snow.
It started in low.
Then it started to grow.
Grinch: Huh? What? (They're singing... happily? But... but I don't understand.)
Narrator: But the sound wasn't sad.
Why, this sounded merry...but it was merry. Very.
Every Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small was singing without any presents at all.
He hadn't stopped Christmas from coming.
It came.
Grinch: Somehow or other, it came just the same!
Cindy: [looking up at the Grinch's sled] Mr. Grinch!
Narrator: And the Grinch, with his Grinch feet ice-cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling.
Grinch: How could it be so?
It came without ribbons.
It came without tags.
It came without packages, boxes or bags!
Narrator: And he puzzled and puzzled, 'till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch... thought of something... he hadn't before.
Grinch: Maybe... Christmas...
Narrator: He thought.
Grinch: ...Doesn't... come from a store.
Maybe Christmas… perhaps… means a little bit more. [gets a sudden thump in his chest] Max, help me! I'm... feeling! [wheezes, and sees his small heart growing]
Narrator: And what happened then?
Well, in Whoville they say
That the Grinch's small heart... grew 3 sizes... that day.
Grinch: [puts his hand by his body, sits up, begins crying, and bawls] What's happening to me? [stops crying, and notices the sun rising] I'm all... toasty inside. [feels a tear] And I'm leaking. Oh, Max. I love ya!

Partager la citation sur facebook Grinch: [to Augustus May Who] No hard feelings. [Augustus gives the Grinch his hand to shake, but the Grinch pulls the Mayor's hand, and roars with laughter] Cheer up, dude. It's Christmas.

Narrator: So, he brought back the toys, and the food for the feast.
And he– he himself, the Grinch– carved the Roast Beast.
Grinch: Yeah. [everyone cheers] There's nothing like the Holidays. Who wants the gizzard?!
Who: I do.
Grinch: Too late! That'll be mine.
