Clock Operator: Only 4 hours till Christmas!
Narrator: Yes, the Grinch knew.Tomorrow all the Who girls and boys would wake bright and early and rush for their toys.
Grinch: And then, all the noise!All 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!
Narrator: 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 rhyme! Aah! [drops to his knees] BLAST YOU, WHOS! [sobs]
Narrator: 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? [gasps] I mean, "In what way?". [gags, disgusted; as he goes inside his cave, he sees Max dancing right behind the doghouse; to Max, snickering] Are you having a holly... jolly... Christmas? [record needle scratches] WRONG-O! [throws Max and his doghouse out. He peers over the edge at the dog-shaped hole in the snow as Max whimpers] Hmph! [jumps to the hole, and picks up Max, who is covered in snow] If you're not going to help me, then you might as well– [sees snow covering Max's face, looking like Santa Claus' white beard]
Narrator: Then he got an idea; an awful idea. The Grinch got a wonderful... awful idea.
Grinch: I know... just what to do. [smiles sneakily and points his pointer finger up with a "Ding!" sound effect; the scene cuts to the Grinch cutting a coat-shaped hole in the red fabric, and sewing the fabric]
Narrator: The Grinch laughed in his throat...
Grinch: Ha!
Narrator: ...and he made a quick Santy Claus hat and a coat.
[loud crunch]
Grinch: [alarmed] Oh-ho-ho! [sees his fingers sewn to the red fabric later]
Narrator: And he chuckled and clucked... [the Grinch faints in shock and pain] ...at this great Grinchy trick.
Grinch: [admires himself in the mirror, dressed in the finished outfit] With this coat and this hat, I'll look just like Saint Nick! Ho, ho, ho! [singing] ♪ You're a mean one… Mr. Grinch! ♪♪ You really are a heel. ♪
Jim Carrey: ♪ You're as cuddly as a cactus, and as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch! ♪You're a bad banana with a... ♪ greasy black peel! ♪ [scene cuts to the Grinch riding ziplines] ♪ Just face the music, you're a monster, Mr. Grinch. ♪Yes, you are!
Grinch: [singing] ♪ Your heart's an empty hoooooooole! ♪
Jim: ♪ Your brain is full of spiders and you got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch. ♪Mmm…♪ I wouldn't touch you with a… 39 1/2 foot pooooooooole! ♪
[Max brings the Grinch a "5/8" spanner]
Grinch: I asked for 3/4, not 5/8. Stay focused! [The Grinch brings the 5/8 spanner back to Max.]
Carrey: You know if you asked every Who's Who of Whoville…♪ No one would deny it. ♪ [holds note as Max presses the button, making the Grinch launch faster, until it hits the "HIT HERE" sign, making Jim Carrey cough]
Grinch: Ow. [lifts his head up after a dummy crash test] Airbag's a little slow. [Airbags come out] But that's what these tests are for! [Max barks, and the Grinch lets his head drop back down] ♪ You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch. You have termites in your smile. ♪
Carrey: ♪ You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch. ♪
Grunch: ♪ Given the choice between you, I'd take the... seasick crocodile! ♪ [holds note while spinning around but yells and holds his mouth as he grunts.]
