Grinch
Oooh! Sweet. ♪ Be it ever so...heinous, there's no place like home. ♪ 1st 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 outta that little girl in the post office. She'll be scarred for life if you're lucky. Aaah! DAAAAA-AAA-AAAAAAAAAAH!!! Funny she didn't rat on us though. Must be afraid of reprisals. Yes! Down a size and ½ And this time, I'll keep it off. Get the stick, Max! Get the stick! There's no stick. I'm smarter. Any calls?
[catapults the red "Hazardous Waste" bag at the picture of Augustus; singing; He goes down the elevator; referring to Cindy Lou; He walks behind the wardrobe, humming a tune; He creeps out from behind the wardrobe, refers to Cindy Lou again; He sees the tiny red heart beating on his X-ray; breaks the fourth wall; to the audience watching; He frowns and walks out of frame; to Max, shaking hands quickly; He throws his hand towards Max's direction; Max barks and runs in that direction, while the Grinch chortles to himself; He takes a running leap onto his bed; He turns his phone on]

Cindy Lou Who Searches for Christmas Meaning
Cindy Lou Who
♪ Where are you, Christmas, why can't I find you? Why have you gone away? My world is changing, I'm rearranging. Does that mean Christmas changes, too? ♪♪ Where are you, Christmas? Do you remember the girl you used to know? You and I we're so carefree, now, nothing's easy. Did Christmas change or just me? ♪
