Quotes from the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
 0
All the Whos down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot, But the Grinch, who lived just north of Whoville, did not. The Grinch hated Christmas ó the whole Christmas season. Oh, please don't ask why, no one quite knows the reason. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. Or maybe his head wasn't screwed on just right. But I think that the best reason of all May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.

The nerve of those Whos. Inviting me down there ó and on such short notice. Even if I wanted to go, my schedule wouldn't allow it. 4:00, wallow in self pity; 4:30, stare into the abyss; 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one. 5:30, Jazzercize. 6:30, dinner with me. I can't cancel that again. 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing ó I'm booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to nine, 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?
The Grinch


One man's toxic waste is another man's potpourri.
The Grinch


I don't know, it's some kind of soup.

And they'll feast, feast, feast, feast. They'll eat their Who-Pudding and rare Who-Roast Beast. But there's something I just cannot stand in leastÖ Oh no. I'm speaking in rhyme!
The Grinch


Year after year, I've put up with it now I must stop Christmas from coming But how? I mean-in what way?
The Grinch


The Whos, young and old, would sit down to a Feast, and they will feast, and they will feast.
Narrator


Jury duty, jury duty, jury duty, blackmail, pink slip, chain letter, eviction notice, blackmail, jury duty...
The Grinch


Then he got an idea. An awful idea. The Grinch had a wonderful, awful idea.
