Grinch:
[trying to drown out the Whos' singing, turns on a mechanical monkey that plays cymbals] Play, monkey! Play! Play, play, play! [rides a jackhammer while vocalizing; he soon wipes out] OWWIEE!!

Cindy:
[knocks on the door] Mr. Grinch? [knocks on the door again] Mr. Grinch! [opens Max's doggie door] Hello? [crawls into the Grinch's cave; she finds him standing with his head in the path of the monkey's cymbals, yelling gibberish each time they hit his head. Taps his shoulder] Excuse me?

Grinch:
Hmm? [sticks his head out and grabs the monkey's cymbals; the monkey short-circuits and it's motor slowly powers down; turns slowly to Cindy with a furious look as the monkey's motor stops] Hello... little girl. [angrily] HOW DARE YOU ENTER THE GRINCH'S LAIR?! THE IMPUDENCE! THE AUDACITY! THE UNMITIGATED GALL! You've called down the thunder. Now, get ready... FOR THE BOOOOOOM! Gaze into the face... of fear. BOOGA-BOOGA!

Cindy:
[calmly] Mr. Grinch, my name is Cindy Lou Who.

Grinch:
[thinking he's scaring Cindy] You see? Even now the terror is welling up inside you!

Cindy:
I'm not scared.

Grinch:
Denial is to be expected in the face of pure evil. [makes psychotic growling noises]

Cindy:
I don't think so!

Grinch:
Doubt!? Another unmistakable sign of the heebie-jeebies! Now, you're doomed. [jumps out of frame, then jumps back in wearing a white t-shirt and making animalistic noises, ripping the shirt apart] RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, BEFORE I KILL AGAIN! [howls] I'm a psycho. [growls, puts shirt in his mouth, spits it out, jumps around Cindy Lou frantically] Danger, danger! [repeatedly growls, but suddenly stops as he is out of breath]

Cindy:
Um... maybe you need a time-out. [giggles after the Grinch looks dumbfounded]

Grinch:
[aside, to the camera; breaking the 4th wall again] Kids today. So desensitized by movies and television. (Anyways…) [to Cindy] WHAT DO YOU WANT?! [echoes]

Cindy:
Mr. Grinch, I came to invite you... to be Holiday Cheermeister.

Grinch:
Uh... "Holiday whobie whatie"?

Cindy:
Cheermeister.

Grinch:
Huh? "(Cordially invites you to be Holiday) Cheermeister (at the Whobilation 1,000 Celebration). Celebrate (and dine) with friends." [laughing] AAHH!! That's a good one. [wheezes]
