Meeting Cindy Lou Who/The Grinch

Lou Lou Who: (takes out a list) We got a snoozlephone for your brother Drew and a snoozlephone for your brother Stu. A "muncle" for your uncle, a "fant" for your aunt, and a "fandpa" for your cousin Leon.

-

Winnie the Pooh: Uh, pardon us, miss?

Cindy Lou Who: Hmm? Oh, hello there. Where'd you all come from?

Winnie the Pooh: Well, this is Piglet, Tigger, and Rabbit, and Eeyore.

Eeyore: Thanks for noticing.

Winnie the Pooh: And I'm Winnie the Pooh, but you can call me Pooh for short.

Brock: My name's Brock and I'm a Pokemon breeder.

Misty: And I'm Misty. My specialty is water Pokemon.

Togepi: Togi.

Ash Ketchum: My name's Ash Ketchum and I'm trying to be a Pokemon breeder.

Pikachu: Pika.

Ash Ketchum: Oh yeah. And this is Pikachu.

Pikachu: Pikachu.

-

Cindy Lou Who: My name is Cindy Lou Who.

-

Narrator: Yes, every Who down in Whoville, liked Christmas a lot. But the Grinch, who lived just North of Whoville...

(The scene cuts to inside a cave, showing a periscope and a hairy green hand holds one of the handles to look through the periscope.)

Narrator: ...did not.

-

The Grinch: Well done, Max.

(The scene cuts to the Grinch looking through rotten produce.)

The Grinch: Serves them right, those yuletide-loving sickly-sweet nog-sucking cheer mongers. (picks up an onion) I really don't like them. Mm-mm. No, I don't. (eats the onion) MAX!!!

(Max whines.)

The Grinch: Get my cloak.

The Grinch arrives in Whoville/Chaos and encounter at the post office

Drew Lou Who: Dad!

(They turned to see Stu and Drew running towards them, covered in snow.)

Stu Lou Who: Dad!

The Cat in the Hat: Who are they?

Cindy Lou Who: That's my brothers, Stu and Drew.

Lou Lou Who: What happened to you?

Stu Lou Who: It was the Grinch!

(Hearing the Grinch's name caused everyone to gasp, tires screeching, and music stopping.)

Whos: The Grinch?

The Grinch: What do you want?! I mean, (high voice) Grinch? Oh no! (ducks down)

Olaf: Who's the Grinch?

Mayor Augustus May Who: Did someone just say, "Grinch"?

Lou Lou Who: Hello, Mayor May Who, sir.

-

Cindy Lou Who: Dad, there's one thing I just don't understand. Why won't anyone talk about the Grinch?

Elsa: Yeah, who is he?

Lou Lou Who: You kids and the Grinch. You see, kids, the Grinch is a Who who... no he's not really a Who, he's more of a...

Cindy Lou Who: A what?

Lou Lou Who: Exactly, honey. And he's a What who doesn't like Christmas. Take a look at his mailbox, kids.

(Shows the Grinch's mailbox, which is empty.)

The Cat in the Hat: It's empty.

Lou Lou Who: Yep. Not a single Christmas card. In or out ever.

-

The Grinch: (laughs menacingly) It'll take them years to sort this out. (mixes up various letters) This is his and now it's yours. And this his hers and now it's his. (laughs) And for the rest of you... (starts throwing letters in the mailboxes) Jury duty, jury duty, jury duty, blackmail, pink slip, chain letter, eviction notice, jury duty (continues throwing letters) Eeee!

(The scene cuts back to Lou giving Cindy some letters.)

Lou Lou Who: Would you mind helping me take this to the back room?

???: We'll go with her.

Lou Lou Who: Thanks, fellas. Hey, be careful of the sorting machine.

???: Okay.

(Cindy, Pooh Bear, Ash, The Cat in the Hat and the heroes enter the back room where sirens were heard, and a conveyer belt was sorting packages. As Cindy drops off the letters, she and the heroes hear something like something fell on the floor.)

Olaf: What was that?

(They turned to see the Grinch's Who mask on the floor.)

The Cat in the Hat: What is it?

Terk: It looks like a mask.

Pumbaa: Someone must've dropped it. We better hold onto it until we find its owner.

Cindy Lou Who: You're right, Pumbaa.

(As Cindy picks up the mask, the camera shows the Grinch and Max clinging onto the wall under the ceiling as Cindy and the heroes were about to leave.)

The Grinch: Whew.

(Max sneezes.)

The Grinch: Gesundheit (wide-eyed) Ooh.

Tantor: Did you guys hear that?

???: (gasps, seeing the Grinch) Look!

(They turned to see the Grinch and Max on the wall as Cindy screamed and the Grinch screamed back. Cindy screams again as the Grinch screams back again and the heroes scream in fright. The Grinch jumps down and snarls as Cindy and the heroes were now shocked, seeing him up close.)

Olaf: Is that who or what I think it is.

Terk: I think so.

Cindy Lou Who: You're the- the- the-

The Grinch: (mockingly) The- the- the... THE GRINCH!!!

(Cindy screams and moves back scared and she falls into the sorting machine.)

The Grinch: (wide-eyed) Well, (smirks) that worked out nicely.

(The camera shows inside the sorting machine, where it shows a large stamp stamping packages.)

Cindy Lou Who: Help me! Somebody!

Timon: That wasn't nice, scaring her like that.

Pumbaa: Now she's in the sorting machine about to get stamped. She's only a child.

The Grinch: You think I care? (to Max) Max, let's go. Our work here is finished.

(As the Grinch was about to leave, he winces in pain as Max was biting onto his rear.)

The Grinch: That is not a chew toy! (tries to get Max off of him) Stop it, Max! Get that out of your mouth! You have no idea where it's been.

Cindy Lou Who: (screams)

The Grinch: Hmm?

(Whistle blows.)

Cindy Lou Who: Help!

Olaf: Max wants you to pull Cindy out of the sorting machine.

The Cat in the Hat: It's either that or he's gonna continue biting you.

The Grinch: (groans) Bleeding hearts of the world unite!

(Cindy continues shouting for help as the Grinch moves the heroes out of his way and goes towards the machine and pulls her out.)

The Grinch: There. (snatches the mask) Give me that! Don't you know you're supposed to take things that belong to you? What's the matter with you? You some kind of wild animal?! Huh?!

Cindy Lou Who: Uh-uh.

Tigger: Hey, wait a minute. You dropped that mask, and we were just holding onto it until we found its owner, but we already did. You happy now?

Rabbit: I don't think he is. He's ungrateful.

The Cat in the Hat: You probably disguised yourself as a Who to cause havoc.

Ronald McDonald: Wait till the authorities hear about this.

The Grinch: You didn't see anything. (to Max) Let's go.

Cindy Lou Who: Thanks for saving me.

(The Grinch comes to a halt, screeches his fingers on the glass and turning to Cindy with a sinister grin.)

The Grinch: Saving you? Is that what you think I was doing?

Cindy Lou Who: Uh-huh.

Misty: (in Karen's voice) We saw you pull her out of the sorting machine to avoid getting crushed. (to the heroes) Didn't we?

The Cat in the Hat Uh-huh. We sure did.

Misty: (to the Grinch) See?

The Grinch: (waving his finger) Wrong-o.

(He goes near Cindy with some wrapping paper.)

The Grinch: I merely noticed that you were improperly packaged, my dear. (begins wrapping her very fast) Hold still! (stops wrapping, to Max) Max pick out a bow!

(Max barks as the Grinch continues wrapping.)

The Grinch: (stops wrapping, to Cindy Lou) Can I use your finger for a second? (continues wrapping)

Cindy Lou Who: Hello! Hello!

(As the Grinch puts his mask back on, it smacks him.)

The Grinch: Ow.

Where are you Christmas/The Grinch's cave

(Back at Mount Crumpit, The Grinch opens the door and he and Max go inside as the door closes and the Grinch turns on a light.)

The Grinch: (sighs) Ahh.

(He puts a bag of hazardous waste onto a catapult he invented himself and pulls the lever and catapult launched the bag, and it hits a poster of Mayor May Who.)

The Grinch: Oooh! Sweet.

(The bag then goes through a tube connected to the Grinch's furnace and he hangs his cloak on a pair of antlers.)

The Grinch: (singing) Be it ever so heinous. There's no place like home. (heads to a lift and goes down) First floor, factory rejects. Those Whos are hard to frazzle, Max. But we did our worst, and that's all that matters. At least I scared the bejeebles out of that little girl and her friends at the post office. They'll be scarred for life if we're lucky.

-

The Grinch: I'll tell you, Max. I don't know why I ever leave this place. I've got all the company I need right here. (shouts) Hello!

The Grinch's Echo: Hello!

The Grinch: How are you?

The Grinch's Echo: How are you?

The Grinch: I asked you first.

The Grinch's Echo: I asked you first.

The Grinch: Oh, that's really mature saying exactly what I say.

The Grinch's Echo: Oh, that's really mature saying exactly what I say.

(The Grinch pauses until...)

The Grinch: I'm an idiot!

The Grinch's Echo: You're an idiot!

The Grinch: (whispering) All right fine. I'm not talking to you anymore. In fact, I'm going to whisper so that by the time my voice reverberates off the walls and gets back to me, I won't be able to hear it.

The Grinch's Echo: You're an idiot!

The Grinch: (takes another green glass bottle breaks it and eats the broken pieces) Am I just eating because I'm bored?. (Flicks an extra piece to the side and lays down on his side in his chair)

The Grinch's backstory/Cindy and the heroes nominate the Grinch

Narrator: So, whatever the reason, his heart or his shoes. He stood outside his cave, hating the Whos.

The Grinch: (takes out a book) Alphabetically. (points to a name in the book) Aardvarkian Abakeneezer Who, I... HATE YOU!!!

(His shouting caused a flock of birds to fly.)

The Grinch: Aaron B. Benson Who, I hate you. (points to various names) Hate, hate, hate. Hate, hate, hate. Double hate. (growls) Loathe entirely.

(Then he hears cheerful music down in Whoville.)

The Grinch: Nutcrackers! (closes the book) It's their Whobilation

Narrator: He snarled with a sneer.

The Grinch: (gasps) Tomorrow is Christmas. It's practically here. (throws the book and goes back in his cave) Max, fetch me my sedative!

(He closes the door as the scene cuts to him inside holding a mallet.)

The Grinch: Now to take care of those pesky memories. (knocks himself out with the mallet)

(The scene then cuts to Whoville, where the Who's are getting ready for the Whobilation.)

Whos: (singing) Whobilation plentiful with candy, cakes, and pies

I can't wait to get there and eat some google fries

Whobilation, Whobilation, uhh!

-

Mayor Augustus May Who: Do I hear a nomination.

Cindy Lou Who: We nominate the Grinch!

-

Mayor Agustus May Who: If you people want to waste a perfectly good nomination, it's up to you. (laughing) But I am telling you, the Grinch will never come down.

Whobris: And when he doesn't, the mayor will wear the crown.

Mayor Agustus May Who: Well... more or less.

Inviting the Grinch

The Grinch: Hello... children. (dramatically) How dare you enter the Grinch's lair!

-

Cindy Lou Who: (takes off her earmuffs) Mr. Grinch, my name is Cindy Lou Who.

Winnie the Pooh: This is Piglet, Tigger, and Rabbit, and Eeyore.

Eeyore: Thanks for noticing.

-

Winnie the Pooh: And I'm Winnie the Pooh, but you can call me Pooh for short.

Olaf: You may not know us, but we barely met at the post office yesterday.

The Grinch: You see? Even now the terror is dwelling up inside you.

Cindy Lou Who: We're not scared.

-

Cindy Lou Who: I don't think so.

The Cat in the Hat: Yeah, that's not gonna work on us.

The Grinch: Doubt? Another unmistakable sign of the heebie-jeebies! Now you're doomed!

-

The Grinch: (looks at the camera) Kids today. So desensitized by movies and television. (turns back to Cindy Lou and the heroes) WHAT DO YOU WANT?!?!

(The heroes flinch at the Grinch's shouting.)

Timon: Oww! My ears are ringing.

Cindy Lou Who: Mr. Grinch, (takes out an invitation) we came to invite you to be Holiday Cheermeister.

The Grinch: Uh, Holiday Whobie What-y?

Cindy Lou Who: (giggles) Cheermeister.

The Grinch: (looks at the invitation) Huh. Cheermeister celebrate with friends. (points at the invitation, laughing) That's a good one.

(He walks off as Cindy and the heroes follow him.)

Olaf: Mr. Grinch, you have to hear us out.

Cindy Lou Who: We know you hate Christmas. But what if it's all just a misunderstanding?

The Grinch: Don't care.

Cindy Lou Who: I mean, I myself am having some yuletide doubts.

The Grinch: (fake snores)

Cindy Lou Who: But maybe if you can reunite with the Whos and be a part of Christmas...

The Grinch: (mockingly) Maybe if you can reunite with the Whos and be a part of Christmas. (normal voice) Grow up!

Cindy Lou Who: Then maybe it'll be alright for us, too.

The Grinch: I'm sorry, your session is over. Please make another appointment with the receptionist on the way out.

-

The Grinch: Who knows? This Whobilation could change my entire outlook on life!

Cindy Lou Who: (smiles) Really?

???: It can?

The Grinch: (frowns) No.

(He pulls a rope, sending Cindy Lou and the heroes down the chute.)

-

(The heroes and Cindy Lou Who come out of the garbage chute and land in the snow.)

Winnie the Pooh: That was so much fun!

Tigger: Hoo-hoo! Let's do that again!

Lou Lou Who: There you are, kids!

Heroes: Mr. Who!

Lou Lou Who: You can make snow angels later.

???: We weren't making snow angels.

???: And we weren't playing in the snow either it was landing.

Lou Lou Who: Can't it wait? We can't be late for the Whobilation.

The Grinch finds something to wear/Whobilation/The Grinch makes it

The Grinch: It's not a dress, it's a kilt! (takes of the cloth) Sicko!

(Max whines.)

The Grinch: (goes through various outfits) Stupid, ugly, out of date. This is ridiculous. If I can't find something nice to wear, I'm not going.

(Just then, he hears yodeling outside his cave and gave a menacing smile as the scene shows a yodeler in lederhosen, yodeling. Then the Grinch, off-screen, uses a cane to pull him by the neck and then the scene cuts to the Grinch wearing his lederhosen. He admires the lederhosen until...)

The Grinch: That's it, I'm not going.

-

-

-

Cindy Lou Who: No, I didn't.

The Grinch: Alright, then give me the award. (shouts) COME ON!!! WHILE I'M YOUNG!!!

Mayor Agustus May Who: Don't you worry, Mr. Holiday Cheermeister, you'll get your award. But first a little family reunion.

The Grinch: Hmm?

Mayor Augustus May Who: They nursed you.

-

Elder Who: Put him in the Chair of Cheer!

The Grinch: The Chair of Cheer? What's the Chair of Cheer? (to Cindy Lou and the heroes) You didn't tell me about the Chair of Cheer.

The Cat in the Hat: Nobody told us about the Chair of Cheer.

Cindy Lou Who: (pleadingly) Please, Mr. Grinch. Please.

-

Mayor Augustus May Who: Fudge Judge

-

The Grinch: Is that all you got?

The Grinch: Pucker up and kiss it whoville

The Grinch: Somebody's fabulous

Standing up to Mayor May Who

Whobris: I did.

Mayor Augustus May Who: No, you choose to listen to a little not to be taken seriously little girl who, hasn't grown her nose yet and her meddling friends. Cindy, I hope you're very proud of what you've done.

(The heroes are deeply outraged over the mayor's false accusation against Cindy.)

The Cat in the Hat: That's not true!

Tantor: Yeah, Cindy has done nothing of the sort!

Timon: This is preposterous!

Pumbaa: That's right, you self-centered jerk, you don't have anything to prove that Cindy stole Christmas!

-

Lou Lou Who: (gets in front of Cindy and the heroes) If she isn't, I am.

(The mayor and the Whos gasp in shock.)

Lou Lou Who: I'm glad he took our presents. Well, I'm glad.

Mayor Augustus May Who: He's glad. You're glad. You're glad everything is... is gone. You're glad that the Grinch virtually wrecked-- No, no, not "wrecked". Pulverized Christmas. Is that what I'm hearing from you, Lou?

Mayor Augustus May Who:

Gloria: Well I’m sorry, Mr. Mayor, but the Grinch’s problem is you!

Mayor Augustus May Who: Excuse me?

Simba: You are the reason the Grinch hated Christmas so much!

Lou Lou Who: You can't hurt Christmas, Mr. Mayor. It's not about the gifts, or the contests, or the fancy lights. That's what Cindy's been trying to tell everyone. And me. She's been trying to tell me.

Mayor Augustus May Who: What is wrong with you? This is a child.

Lou Lou Who: She's my child, sir.
