[male narrator]
It sure was
a beautiful morning.

The sun came up glowing
and glitzeling.

And when the dawn broke

all the witzel birds woke.

The witzel birds
all woke up witzeling.

[birds chirping]

[music continues]

[dramatic music]

[male narrator]
An unusually beautiful
morning it was.

Even the Grinch
woke up witzeling.

[whistles]

His dog, Max, was amazed!

He stared up from the floor.

A witzeling Grinch?

Never happened before.

Never before had this nasty,
old guy

left out of his bed
with a smile in his eye

and witzeling, "Hello,"
to the birds in the sky.

[whistling]

Unbelievable!

This was gooder than good.

This was grander than grand.

There was peace in his heart.

There'd be peace in the land.

And a very good morning to you,
Mr. Grinch.

Oh, it is, is it?

Well, i-it seems so, sort of.

I see nothing
to witzel about.

You must be out of your head,
no doubt.

I think the time has come
for thee

to repeat the Grinch's oath
with me.

[both]
A Grinch is unhelpful

unfriendly, unkind.

With ungracious thoughts..

...in an unhealthy mind.

A Grinch is uncheerful

uncouth and unclean.

'Now, say this together!'

[both]
I'm frightfully mean!

My eyes are both shifty.

My fingers are thrifty.

My mouth will not smile.

Not half of an inch.

I'm a Grinch.

I am a Grinch.

I'm a Grinch!

That's my boy!

Now, go out and prove it.

[whimpering]

[The Grinch]
Prove it. Prove it.

Prove it.

Prove it.

And a witzel to you.

You get this crate
out of my way.

I am tremendously
so, so sorry, mister..

Whatever your name is.

I do seem to be blockerizing

and obstructivating
your mobility.

Obstructivating
my mobility willity.

However, Mr. Hosts,
if you would be so kind

as to hold my hot dog..

'That's a good fellow.'

I will de-blockorize and
de-obstructivate this roadway

allowing you to sally forth
on your merry, merry way.

I deeply deplore
any incovenience-alities

that I may
have caused you, mister..

[The Grinch]
Having problems,
Mr. Cat in the Hat?

Come inside.

I have something to show you.

This, sir, is my Acoustical

Anti-Audial Bleeper.

Otherwise known
as my Vacu-Sound Sweeper.

That?

That's the darn thing

that makes the sound
sound stupid?

It sucks out of the air
every noise

every sound

and gargles the sound waves

for 50 miles 'round!

'Nifty little contraption,
isn't it?'

It's implausible,
it's impossible

it's unreasonable
and unlawsible.

Such things never happen
in the middle of the day.

'And if they do, I ignore them'

and they're bound
to go away..

'Oh, no, Maxie-Waxie.'

No hidey-widey
from Grinchy-Winchy.

That cat!

That beezleberry cat!

I snurgled his sound.

'Now I'll even do more.'

Take this up to my shop
on the 39th floor.

That cat's gonna suffer
like never before!

'A lighthouse makes light.'

So, just for a lark

I built me a dark-house.

A dark-house makes dark.

I just push a button
up here in this place..

'...and you can't see your

Huh? What? What..

I can't see my mitten

[snarls]

How you doing, kitty-kitty?

Are you feeling pretty good

Mr. Cat in the Hoot?

Besides being boss of your ears

and your sound

I can make gloom

for a hundred miles 'round.

Ooh! That Grinch!

That Grinch!

That psychopathic Grinch!

Why is a Grinch?

What makes him tick?

Why is his Grinch brain
sick, sick, sick?

Oh, boy, if I had
a psychiatrist couch

I'd find out what's wrong

with that Grinchy Grouch.

That's a lot of rot.

Is there something
in your family tree

that causes Grinch delinquency?

Absolutely not!

Absotively, posolutely

that's a lot of rot.

Hm, one of the most difficult

'I'm gonna have to make
a house call.'

[laughs]
That darkness is getting
quite dull

don't you think?

Let's liven things up

'with some persimmon pink.'

[instrumental music]

boing.

Phew!

May I suggest
this sizzling chef's special?

- But I'm not hungry.
- An excellent choice!

[indistinct chatter]

[instrumental music]

Here you are, sir.

The delicious
sizzling chef's special.

[inhales deeply]

Watch this, I'll give him

a double gagtical
flomax deluxe.

[beeping]

'Oh, what a super-dupe
flomax deluxe.'

Ah!

[music continues]

That Grinch, that Grinch.

He has smuggled our light.

He's guzzled our sound.

He's bamboozled our lives.

And a way must be found
to cease him

from schploting
his evil around.

[dramatic music]

That Grinch. That Grinch.

Deep inside
his freaky freakness

there must be a soft spot.

[blows]

There must be a weakness.

Despite the grim fact that
he's depraved and deranged

I will find that soft spot.

That Grinch can be changed.

He hates cows.

He hates cats.

He hates frogs,
he hates doves.

Is there no one, no one?

Nobody he loves?

Absolutely not!

That's a lot of rot!

[whooshing]

Rowdy-doe! I've got it!

I've got it,
I've got the Grinch

psychological-ized.

You, you, you and you

follow me, men and madam.

We're going to un-Grinch
The Grinch.

There, there, son.

Everything's

Ma-mama?

[sniffles]

Yes, son.

Now, be a good boy

and clean up your room.

[The Grinch]
Yes, mama.

[sniffles]

Hand me a wrench, Max.

We've got work to do.

[male narrator]
Once again,
it was a beautiful morning.

Once again,
the sun came up glitzeling

and the witzel birds
once more were witzeling.

This was gooder than good.

This was grander than grand.

There was peace in his heart.

There'd be peace in the land.

And a very good morning to you,
Mr. Grinch.

Oh, it is, is it?

I think the time has come
for thee

to repeat The Grinch's oath..
