How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) Edit

A car would have paid for itself by now!

A fant for your aunt and a fandpa for your cousin Leon.

A handsome, noble man.

A little more stealth, please.

A man who has had his tonsils removed twice!

A trip or a slip you'd slide all the way down.

A winner.

Aardvarkian Abakenezer Who...

Aaron B. Benson Who, I hate you.

Accept an award of some kind.

Action!

Actually, not a Who. He's more of a...

Air bag is a little slow.

All right, fine.

All right, I'll go.

All right, that's enough. Knock it off. Beat it!

All right, we'll straighten this out.

All right, you heard the man:

All right, your turn! Go on!

All right!

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right. I'll swing by for a minute, allow them to envy me...

All right. I've made my decision!

All the Whos were all dreaming sweet dreams without care...

All their windows were dark. Quiet snow filled the air.

All those Whos...

All will be singing

Almost lost my cool there.

Along with a lifetime supply of happiness, you'll also receive this:

Alphabetically.

Although I hardly remember him. I didn't have time to socialize.

Am I just eating because I'm bored?

An awful idea.

And

And a snoozlephone for your brother Stu, a muncle for your uncle...

And carols ringing in my ear

And Cindy? Could you be Mommy's little helper...

And every Saint Fizzin's day, they ate a Fizz pheasant.

And for the rest of you:

And he chuckled and clucked...

And he climbed to the roof, empty bags in his fist.

And he made a quick Santy Claus hat and a coat.

And he puzzled and puzzled...

And he sent her to bed.

And he took some red thread...

And he, he himself, the Grinch...

And he's a What who doesn't like Christmas.

And his fib fooled the child.

And I believe that soul is the Grinch.

And I care!

And I know just what they'll do.

And I'll bring it back here.

And I'm leaking.

And I'm...

And if the truth be told, he...

And if you're the Whos I hope you are, you will too.

And me. She's been trying to tell me.

And now it's time for the moment we've all been waiting for.

And now, I have a little something for the love of my life.

And now, the nominations...

And now...

And only comes down when he's hungry for the taste of...

And rare Who roast beast!

And she happens to be right, by the way.

And she'll see me.

And that was the last time we ever saw him.

And that's the people who keep

And the avarice.

And The Book of Who says, very clearly:

And the child mentioned a check.

And the green.

And the Grinch grabbed the tree, and he started to shove...

And the Grinch, with his Grinch feet ice cold in the snow...

And the last thing he took was the log for their fire.

And the more the Grinch thought of what Christmas would bring...

And the one speck of food that he'd left in the house...

And the Whoville band marched in their Christmas y best.

And their innocent, victimless pranks.

And then, the noise!

And they'll feast and they'll feast.

And they'll feast, feast, feast, feast!

And this time, I'll keep it off.

And tied a big horn on top of his head.

And unscrew the bulb there from the refrigerator?

And we raised him like any other Who child:

And what happened then...

And when Cindy Lou went up with her cup...

And when he doesn't, the Mayor will wear the crown.

And with every Christmas wish

And your foot.

And, for the next five minutes only, 99 percent off!

And...

Another minute closer to Christmas!

Another unmistakable sign of the heebie jeebies!

Any calls?

Arbor Day was fine, and Easter was pleasant...

Are the first thing to go.

Are you all right?

Are you having a holly, jolly...

Are you kiddin'?

Are you sure? Because I thought I heard someone mention a check.

Are you two still living?

Aren't you gonna cuff me?

Around each Who home, and he took every present.

As always, we start with our Cheermeister.

As you judge the Who pudding cook off!

Ask any Who, and they'll have this to say:

At least I scared the bejeebles out of that little girl at the post office.

At least it's only once a year

At this great Grinchy trick.

Augustus...

Award?

Awful idea.

Baby Who girls and tiny Who fellas...

Bad judge of character.

Be sure to run real fast with it. Come on. Double time. Move.

Because it isn't about the gifts or the contests or the fancy lights.

Because it represents the glitter of commercialism!

Before I kill again!

Bells will be ringing

Besides, it looks like everything is all here and accounted for.

Betty!

Betty!

Betty! Sweetie!

Betty?

Blackmail. Pink slip. Chain letter. Eviction notice.

Blast this Christmas music.

Blast you Whos!

Blasted water weight! Goes right to my hips.

Bleeding hearts of the world, unite!

Boy, nothing beats Christmas, right?

Brilliant!

Bundled up against the cold

Burn, baby! Burn!

But did anyone listen to me?

But every minute of every day.

But every Who knew, from their twelve toes to their snout...

But first, a little family reunion.

But I am telling you...

But I think he's actually kind of sweet.

But I think that the most likely reason of all...

But I'll be fashionably late.

But if Santa could do it, then so could the Grinch.

But it was merry.

But it was the Grinch!

But it's a green Christmas anyway

But it's an experience that I've always longed for.

But maybe if you reunite with the Whos and be a part of Christmas...

But my heart belongs to...

But that's what these tests are for!

But the book does say:

But the Grinch, who lived just north of Whoville...

But the sound wasn't sad.

But there's something I just cannot stand in the least.

But this girl had a mission. She knew what to do.

But we did our worst. And that's all that matters.

But what if it's a cruel prank? What if it's a cash bar?

But what would I wear?

But why?

But you and your family...

But you've convinced me.

But, Dad...

But, you know what?

But, you know, that old Grinch was so smart and so slick...

By the way, these lights match your outfit perfectly.

Calling all units. Calling all units.

Can I use your finger for a second?

Can we just get back to Christmas...

Can't you feel it?

Carved the roast beast.

Chair of Cheer?

Changes too

Cheer up, dude. It's Christmas.

Christmas conga!

Christmas Day

Christmas Day is in our grasp

Christmas is here

Christmas is here

Christmas tradition...

Christmas?

Christmas...

Cindy Lou had some questions in her curious heart.

Cindy Lou!

Cindy Lou? Honey?

Cindy, I hope you're very proud...

Cindy!

Cindy?

Cindy?

Clearance sale.

Come on, come on!

Come on, come on!

Come on, hurry up, Slowpoke.

Come on, Max. It's our first stop.

Come on, while I'm young!

Come to think of it

Congratulations, Mr. Grinch!

Cream of wheat

Cut, print, check the gate. Moving on.

Dad!

Dad! It was amazing!

Daddy!

Dah who doraze, welcome all Whos

Danger! Danger!

Definitely not!

Denial is to be expected in the face of pure evil.

Destroy Christmas!

Destroy Christmas.

Did I have a crush on the Grinch?

Did not.

Did someone just say, "Grinch"?

Did that stop the old Grinch?

Did you hear something?

Disappointed.

Do I hear a nomination?

Do it for me, Stu.

Do you remember

Do you want a Christmas cookie?

Do you want to hold this Santa plate?

Does that mean Christmas

Doesn't come from a store.

Doesn't this seem like a bit much?

Doesn't this seem superfluous?

Don't forget, tomorrow is our big Christmas gift exchange.

Don't they know I'm up here all alone

Don't touch me there!

Don't you know you shouldn't take things that don't belong to you?

Don't you worry, Mr. Holiday Cheermeister, you'll get your award.

Double hate.

Doubt?

Down a size and a half!

Down in Whoville...

Drift from the sky in their own pumbersellas.

Each shop window displays a Christmas scene

Even if I wanted to go, my schedule wouldn't allow it.

Even if we're horribly mangled...

Even now the terror is welling up inside you.

Evening, folks. Mind if I ride along?

Ever!

Every Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small...

Every window was flocked, every lamppost was dressed...

Every year Martha May Whovier has the best lights.

Everyone bring a special gift for a special someone.

Everything must go.

Everywhere

Excellent year.

Excuse me, old timer.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Fah who foraze

Fah who foraze, dah who doraze

Fah who foraze, dah who doraze

Fah who ray moo ya who hee haw

Far

Fat boy should be finishing up anytime now.

Feast, feast, feast, feast

Feeling!

Feels...

Fetch me my sedative.

Fills each and every heart

Fine.

First floor, factory rejects.

First, you'll put your taste buds to the test...

Fleas before beauty. Thank you.

For Present Pass it on!

For some reason, when he came home that day...

For that Who among us who best typifies...

For that Who among us who best typifies...

Forgot about the reindeer.

From The Book of Who.

Fruitcake, tra la la!

Fudge Judge.

Funny she didn't rat on us, though.

Gaze into the face of fear!

Generously provided by the taxpayers of Whoville!

Gesundheit.

Get my cloak!

Get on it, girls. All the good mistletoe's at the top.

Get out of here!

Get that out of your mouth! You have no idea where it's been!

Get the stick, Max. Get the stick!

Gifts, gifts, gifts.

Gifts!

Gifts.

Give me a break.

Go on, touch it. Touch the door.

Go right back to sleep.

Good night, Betty.

Good thing we have a spare.

Good times.

Good, I'm so glad you're home.

Good.

Goody. Another load coming down.

Grab a handful of popcorn shrimp, and blow out of there.

Grab an end.

Grew three sizes that day.

Grinch less?

Grinch...

Grinned the Grinch...

Grow up!

Had my fingers crossed.

Hairy?

Halt!

Has everyone given their gifts?

Hate you!

Hate, hate, hate. Hate, hate, hate.

Hating the Whos.

Have you ever kissed a man who lost his tonsils twice?

He came the way all Who babies come.

He cleaned out that icebox as quick as a flash.

He didn't show?

He eyed the Whos' feast. He took the Who pudding.

He got stuck only once, for a moment or two.

He had hair. Not pleasant.

He had no sense of color coordination.

He hadn't before.

He hadn't stopped Christmas from coming.

He isn't here.

He liked Martha.

He looks just like your boss.

He made it!

He only comes out once a year, and he never catches any flak for it!

He really got into the Christmas spirit for the first time.

He rode with his load to the tiptop to dump it.

He said he was sorry.

He shed.

He snarled with a sneer.

He stood outside his cave...

He thought up a lie, and he thought it up quick.

He thought...

He took the roast beast.

He was a wonderful...

He won!

He'd slide down the chimney. A rather tight pinch.

He's number one in the sack race run!

He's planning a double twisting interrupted forward flying 2 and a half...

Heads up, Whoville!

Hello, little girl. Are you here to read to us?

Hello, Martha.

Hello, Mayor May Who, sir.

Hello, Myrna. Merry Christmas, Fred. Excuse me.

Hello!

Hello! Hello!

Hello?

Hello?

Hello...

Help me out here, people.

Help me!

Help me!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Here goes nothin', hot dog!

Here they are...

Here's a present for you.

Hey, honey, our baby is here!

Hi, Mr. Grinch!

High degree of difficulty.

Hike!

His first words!

His hands might be cold and clammy.

Ho, ho, ho, and stuff.

Hold still!

Honey! Hi!

Honey! Hi!

Honey.

Hot crowd. Hot crowd.

How about a nice hat?

How are you?

How could it be so?

How dare they?

How dare you enter...

How I hate their happy noise

How I wish that this would go away

Howdy?

Hurry up, we're gonna be late. Come on.

Hurry! Here he comes!

I am so proud of you.

I asked for three quarters, not five eighths.

I beat you.

I believe I'm here to...

I came to see you. No one should be alone on Christmas.

I can feel it, Lou. This is the year.

I can't do that!

I could hang myself with all the bad Christmas neckties I found at the dump!

I could hardly bear it.

I did it!

I didn't ask you that.

I don't know if it's that adorable twinkle in your eye...

I don't know why I ever leave this place.

I don't know. It's some kind of soap.

I don't know. It's some kind of soap.

I don't like discussing this Grinch so very close to Christmas, but...

I don't need anything more for Christmas than this right here, my family.

I don't need to remind you that this Christmas...

I don't think so.

I feel you, Christmas

I find...

I got you, Cindy Lou!

I guess I could use a little...

I guess the award goes to...

I guess.

I hate Christmas!

I hate Christmas! I hate it!

I hear you know some things about the Grinch.

I hope I get another invite soon.

I just don't understand something.

I just love the colors.

I just wanted everybody to be together for Christmas.

I know he's mean and hairy and smelly.

I know I've found you

I know just what to do.

I know you hate Christmas, but what if it's all just a misunderstanding?

I know.

I like it.

I love you!

I mean, in what way?

I mean...

I merely noticed that you were improperly packaged, my dear.

I merely noticed that you were improperly packaged, my dear.

I must stop this Christmas from coming! But how?

I must stop this whole thing.

I nominate the Grinch!

I quite enjoyed that.

I really don't like them.

I said, there's no check. And now it's time...

I suppose.

I think I've found you

I think they were up on the mountain...

I tried to take him under my wing.

I want you all to look your best tomorrow.

I was afraid of that.

I was far too busy with my...

I won't be able to hear it!

I wonder who could have done this.

I...

I...

I'd better slow this buggy down!

I'd blow every fuse if I tried to keep up with you, Martha May!

I'll fix it up there...

I'll hunt you down and gut you like a fish!

I'll make one instead.

I'll stuff up the tree.

I'll tell you, Max...

I'm a psycho!

I'm afraid I do have something for you!

I'm all...

I'm an idiot!

I'm booked.

I'm glad he took our presents.

I'm going to throw up, and then I'm gonna die!

I'm going, and that's that.

I'm gonna beat that prim, perfect little prissy...

I'm hurt, and I don't hurt easily.

I'm hurt, Lou.

I'm not ready. It's too much, too soon!

I'm not scared.

I'm not talking to you anymore. In fact, I'm going to whisper.

I'm not talking to you anymore. In fact, I'm going to whisper.

I'm not the same one

I'm number one!

I'm rearranging

I'm smarter.

I'm so...

I'm sorry to disappoint you, Martha, baby, but the G train has left the station.

I'm sorry, your session is over.

I'm speaking in rhyme!

I'm the Grinch that stole Christmas.

I'm...

I've been much too tolerant of these Whovenile delinquents...

I've been thinking about the Whobilation and I may do something drastic.

I've got a lawyer.

I've got all the company I need right here.

If I bumped the loathing to 9:00, I'd have time to lay in bed...

If I can't find a reindeer...

If I can't find something nice to wear, I'm not going!

If she isn't, I am.

If there is love

If you agree to be my wife...

If you care

If you utter so much as one syllable...

If you'd like to fax me, press the star key.

If you're not going to help me...

In her head, bum tumbled a conflict or two.

In my cave up in the hills

In your garbage!

In your heart and your mind

In your own words, please tell me everything you know about the Grinch.

Inside a snowflake, like the one on your sleeve...

Invite the Grinch...

Invite the Grinch...

Inviting me down there on such short notice.

Is my sub zero chillibrator running?

Is that all you got?

Is that all you got? Come on.

Is that what I'm hearing?

Is that what you think I was doing?

Is that why you have

Isn't this antique darling?

Isn't this the chandelier from the dining room?

It came without packages, boxes or bags!

It came without ribbons!

It came without tags!

It came.

It could be that his head wasn't screwed on just right.

It shouldn't! It couldn't! It mustn't! It wouldn't!

It started in low. Then it started to grow.

It was a horrible day when they were so cruel to him.

It was Christmas Eve, and a strange wind blew that night.

It was Christmas Eve, and a strange wind blew that night.

It was morning before anybody realized that he was out there!

It was, and he came after...

It'll be like music to my ears!

It'll take them years to sort this out.

It's a lonely Christmas Eve

It's a new car!

It's all for the cause, dear.

It's all you, Maxie!

It's amazing what these Whos just throw away.

It's because I'm green, isn't it?

It's fantastic!

It's gonna blow!

It's handcrafted and almost 100 years old.

It's in here!

It's joyful and triumphant.

It's just toys, right?

It's just, I look around at you and Mom and everyone getting all kerbobbled.

It's not a dress, it's a kilt!

It's Santa!

It's that time of year.

It's their Whobilation.

It's time for our Holiday Cheermeister of the Year Award!

Jeez. I'm really impressed!

Jury duty!

Jury duty! Jury duty! Jury duty!

Just keep it kind of loosey goosey.

Kids today.

Kiss me, you fool!

Last one to the top is a stinky old Grinch!

Lay the small town of Whoville:

Let me go

Let me quote a verse...

Let's go home.

Let's go.

Light on one side.

Lines wherever gifts are sold

Little girl.

Loathe entirely!

Look at that hack job!

Look at that hack job!

Look at the time. I really should be getting back.

Look, I don't want to make waves, but this whole Christmas season is...

Look, I just found the cutest light for my Christmas display.

Look...

Lost my place, but it's...

Lost my place, but it's...

Lou, where's my mail?

Lou! Got the wrong mail here.

Lou! I got the wrong mail!

Lou?

Lou.

Made it myself.

Makin' it

Marks the one thousandth Whobilation.

Martha May will be there.

Martha May...

Martha was my girlfriend.

Martha?

Martha...

Mature... exactly... what I say...

Max, let's go.

Max, pick out a bow.

Max!

Max!

Max! Grab a bag.

May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.

Maybe Christmas...

Maybe I should flip a coin!

Maybe if you hear the truth, you'll understand why...

Maybe you need a time out.

Maybe. Just maybe.

Maybe...

Mayor May Who? Oh, dear.

Me, I'm stuck here with my

Means a little bit more.

Merry Christmas, August May Who!

Merry Christmas, Martha May.

Merry Christmas, Mo. Heck of a rush.

Merry Christmas, Mr. Grinch.

Merry Christmas, Santa.

Merry Christmas, you hunk of burnin' Who!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Thank you for shopping Farfingle's!

Merry Christmas...

Mind if I wet my whistle?

Mistletoe.

Mommy!

Mr. Grinch, I came to invite you...

Mr. Grinch!

Mr. Grinch?

Mr. Grinch?

Mr. Grinch?

Mr. Grinch...

Mr. Grinch...

Must be afraid of reprisals.

Must drown them out!

My baby!

My name is Cindy Lou Who.

My sweet little tot.

My world is changing

My, I've never seen so many beautiful Christmas lights, Betty Lou!

My, my, my.

Near

Nice kid.

No child can beat the Grinch!

No hard feelings?

No lights on in the house. Your mom must be shopping.

No, forget that part. We'll improvise.

No, I don't.

No, it does.

No, mine's the best!

No, not wrecked, pulverized Christmas.

No, silly!

No, sir, the boys didn't see any Grinch.

No!

No!

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. I can't do it, honestly.

No. The sleigh. The presents.

No. Yes. No. Yes. No!

Noise, noise, noise

Not a single Christmas card, in or out.

Not now, not then, not ever again!

Not right.

Not this year.

Not working!

Now and forever

Now for the final note in my symphony...

Now scoot over! It's my turn to drive!

Now to take care of those pesky memories.

Now you're doomed!

Now, class, is everyone almost finished?

Now, get ready for the boom!

Now, I ask you: Does that sound like our holiday cheermeister?

Now, Lou, please tell me that your boys...

Now, please, don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.

Now, pucker up and kiss it, Whoville!

Now, that's holiday.

Number one! I'm number one!

Nutcrackers?

Odd. Better check the outgoing.

Of course not.

Of course they are.

Of course, when I say "we," I mean "you."

Of downright nasty not niceness!

Of what you've done.

Oh, Martha! Oh, Christmas!

Oh, Max!

Oh, Max.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, well.

Oh, well.

Oh, well.

Okay, fellas. Show time.

Okay.

On calm nights...

On their walls he left nothing but some hooks and some wire.

On this lonely Christmas Eve

On, Crasher! On, Thrasher!

On, Vomit and Blitzkrieg!

One and all!

One man's toxic sludge is another man's potpourri.

One step at a time.

One teeny tiny...

Only four hours till Christmas!

Oopsie.

Or it could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.

Or that nonconformist streak...

Our work here is finished.

Out of date.

Out of the way, slow mo!

Out of the way!

Out of the way! I have no insurance!

Perfect parcels tied with perfect bows

Perfect!

Perhaps...

Play, monkey! Play!

Playing with matches, or defacing public property, or...

Please become Mrs. Augustus May Who.

Please help!

Please make another appointment with the receptionist on the way out.

Please take the bag off.

Please, Mr. Grinch.

Please, please. You have to accept the award.

Presents...

Probably because he's embarrassed by that hideodorous gift.

Probably lives up there to avoid the taxes.

Provoking the one creature within a billion bilometers of here...

Put him in the Chair of Cheer!

Put it in. Bring it on!

Put me down! I mean it!

Put me in a choke hold? Blind me with pepper spray?

Put the book down.

Put your back into it!

Quite meaningful.

Right.

Rose. The sweater. The sweater, Rose.

Rudolph?

Run for your life...

Run for your lives!

Sale on Aisle 3!

Santa Claus? What are you doing with our tree?

Santa, bye bye!

Santa, what's Christmas really about?

Santa?

Santa.

Saving Christmas was a lousy ending. Way too commercial.

Saving you?

See what the time's done

Serves them right, those Yuletide loving...

She will?

She'd invite the Grinch herself, that brave Cindy Lou.

She'll be on me like fleegle flies on a flat faced floogle horse.

She'll be scarred for life, if we're lucky.

She's my child.

She's right!

Sickly sweet, nog sucking cheer mongers!

Sicko!

Slunk?

So desensitized by movies and television.

So he brought back the toys and the food for the feast.

So he called his dog Max...

So I'm taking it home to my workshop, my dear.

So long as we have hands to clasp

So that by the time my voice reverberates off the walls and gets back to me...

So that's how it works.

So, they want to get to know me, do they?

So, we just need... Cindy?

So, whatever the reason, his heart or his shoes...
