SCENE 1

NARRATOR “Within a snowflake, like this one you see falling, years ago a story occurred that
has to be seen to be believed. At the top of some mountains of the Cordillera de con quién,
Villaquién appears, the town where the who live. Ask any who and they will tell you the truth,
there is no place like Whoville when Christmas approaches. Every decorated window, every
decorated lamppost and the dancers of Villaquién, dance decorated. (Inhabitants singing)

Jingle Bell Rock (1st and 2nd)

While they dance, the whole town doing Christmas shopping. GIRL 1:

GIRL 2: GIRL 3:

Quick or are you afraid of the Grinch?

Nope.

They say that he lives in a huge cave. That he only comes down when he wants to eat whose
meat.

The Grinch comes out with a huge mask and scares them. They run away.

LO:

Cindy? Cindy Lou? (She finds her behind a large mountain of gifts) Ah, Cindy Lou.

CINDY LOU: Don’t you think that’s too much, dad?

LOU: That’s what Christmas is all about. Don’t you notice? One minute less for Christmas.

Purchases are accelerated, thank you, wish Merry Christmas. They all leave the scene. Some
girls run up the mountain.
SCENE 2

NARRATOR Yes. Everyone in Whoville loved Christmas, but the Grinch who lived north of town
hated it.

THE GRINCH:

(He mocks them) I can’t stand them! Those enjoy-Christmas, punch-swallowers, merchants of
joy. I can’t with them. I don’t swallow them. I’ve been too soft on those juvenile delinquents
and their innocent victimless pranks. What do you want to meet me with, huh? Do you want to
spend more time with your friend the

Grinch? I will dedicate a while to… social relations.

(Smiles and leaves. Already in Whoville)

SCENE 3

ATTENDEE:

THE GRINCH:

NARRATOR: The Grinch hated Christmas and its festive atmosphere, but he didn’t

Ask why, no one knows why.

The grinch stops some girls (1 and 2) and gives them a saw.

THE GRINCH: A present for you, now start running. Go Go.

Maybe his head was screwed up wrong, maybe his shoe was pinching and he had a
Ingrown toenail. But I think the most likely reason for his bad mood is that the

Heart that he had, was two sizes smaller. (Ambient music)

LO:

There’s nothing like Christmas, huh?

CINDY LOU: I guess.

LO:

Do you suppose? Hihihi…

CINDY LOU: Everybody, you and mom, it’s like they’re dying.

Doesn’t that seem superfluous to you?

Girls 1, 2 and 3 arrive screaming.

LO:

What’s wrong with them?

GIRL 2:

WHOVILLE:

THE GRINCH:
MAYOR:

The Grinch appeared to us.

(They ask concerned) The Grinch? The Grinch? (The Grinch

Turn around).

What do they want? I mean… The Grinch, oh no!

Did someone say, Grinch?

Merry Christmas!

Yes Yes. Sure… Very colorful. (He wears a robe and a mask)

Hello sir mayor.

MAYOR:

Lou (waves him over) It is well known that in

These festivities we celebrate the first millennium of Jubilee

Whoville

ASSISTANT: Our most important party.

MAYOR:

And the book of Who says it with absolute clarity. All who,
Whatever the age of he knows that the Jubilee Who is time to

Honor the truth. So Lou please tell me those girls

They have not been to Mount Crumpit where the only being dwells

That in a radius of 1000 kilometers, he hates Christmas.

GIRLS: But is that… (Lou runs to cover their mouths)

LOU: No, no, no. The girls haven’t seen the Grinch. Sure that

They were walking on the mountain, playing with matches,

They lit public property or something.

MAYOR: Oh, well. That’s a relief. Folks, I’ve already figured it out. Does not occur

Nothing with any Grinch. (The Grinch throws a blowgun at the

Mayor and leaves)

Lou and Cindy remain.

SCENE 4

CINDY:

But I don’t get it. Why no one in town wants to talk about the Grinch.
LO:

CINDY:

LO:

CINDY:

GRINCH:

CINDY:

And give it the same. Look, the Grinch is a who to who. (laughs)

Well, he’s actually not a who. He is more of a…

A what?

Exactly, he is a what. A who, who hates Christmas. Daughter, wait for me

Here, I must find your mother.

Yes. (When she sees the Grinch she drops all the gifts he brought

In the hands and shouts) Aaaaah! You are the, the…

(Mocking) He, he… (In a loud voice) The Grinch.

(While he collects the gifts) Help, help. Someone to me

Help. (The Grinch is helping him grab the gifts)


GRINCH:

(She takes the mask) Give me that. What have they not told you that the

Things that do not belong to one are not touched, what is wrong with you. You’re a

Wild animal?!

Cindy shakes her head. The Grinch comes out.

CINDY:

Thanks for helping

GRINCH:

LO:

CINDY:

LO:

CINDY:

LO:

CINDY:

LO:
(Grunts) Help you? Is that what you think I did? Not only

I wanted to give your parents a bigger and better wrapped gift.

(He approaches with a gift wrap, wraps it and leaves)

(Arrives) Cindy?

Dad dad!

That wow! Cindy?

It’s an amazing thing dad.

Were you practicing to wrap the presents later? Darling,

I feel very proud.

Well…

That’s how the holidays are.

NARRATOR: Precious Cindy, what to do she did not know, in her head a confused confusion
was growing. If the Grinch is so bad, why was my savior? It may not be

So bad…

LO:

(Finishes unwrapping it) Let's go home. (exit)

NARRATOR: Maybe, maybe. (Christmas music)

They turn on all the lights. They sing and dance (3rd and 4th WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIME-
DEMI LOVATO)
SCENE 5

LO:

Betty dear. I'm so full.

BETTY:

LO:

Come on Lou, one more. I feel it, this year when everyone

Ask who has baked the most delicious pie in

Whoville, they will all shout, Mrs. Betty Lou Who.

Honey… (Continues eating in spite of her) BETTY:

All these years Martha Who is the best, well not this year.

I'm going to beat that conceited and cretin...

MARTHA:

BETTY:

MARTHA:

(Enters) Betty! Hello.

Martha!

I have brought you my latest creation, a blackberry pie with

Cheese, vanilla extract with a little cinnamon. Hmm..

Lou approaches with the scent.

BETTY:

Weren't you already very full?

(The telephone rings)

LO:

THE GRINCH:

LO:

I answer… (On the phone) Say…

(From the other phone) Is your refrigerator working?

What if my refrigerator is working? Yes…

THE GRINCH: Well, run away, he's escaping. (laughs funny)

They leave the scene. Cindy alone singing.

MARTHA:
I'm going dear, I'll leave it there. The contest hasn't started yet.

I have the opportunity to experiment with new creations.

Bye.

BETTY:

LO:

BETTY:

(angrily screams) You can't support me even once.

But Darling…

But darling, but darling… Arrggg…

SCENE 6

The Grinch comes to his cave.

THE GRINCH:

I put the pointy buns on that brat from the post office. Luckily, she will live in fear for life.
(Grunts) Strange that she hasn't ratted me out, maybe she's afraid of retaliation.

(Looks at the x-ray of her heart) Great, I've lost weight.

A size and a half. And this time I'll stay like this. (Check your

answering machine) calls? (A voice-over is heard: “No.

She has messages.”) How strange! I'll check my message. (A voice is heard in off "as you
pronounce

Even if it's a single syllable I'm going to go for you and I'll gut you like

To a fish. If you want to send me a fax press start” The

Tone. He nods) That's right. (She starts to take off her shoes.

While humming. Eat a bottle) I don't even know why I'm leaving

This cave because all the company I want is here

(Tries the echo and it repeats everything he hears) Hello! HELLO,

HI HI. How are you! HOW'S UP, HOW'S UP, HOW'S UP. I do

I have said before! BEFORE, BEFORE, BEFORE. how childish you repeat

Everything I say! EVERYTHING I SAY, SAY, SAY.

(Think and try) I'm a fool! YOU ARE A FOOL, A

FOOL, A FOOL. (She gets angry) You wanted it, I won't continue

Talking to you, what's more, I'll speak very softly so that

When the voice bounces off the wall and then comes back to me or
I'm not even able to hear it. YOU ARE A FOOL, YOU ARE A

FOOL, YOU'RE A FOOL! (Continues eating) Yes, as it is.

Because I get bored. (sad music, he leans back in the chair and

Try to sleep)

SCENE 7

Cindy Lou arrives at a house and plays.

OLD WOMAN 1:

CINDY:

Who would she be? Hello little girl, have you come to read us something?

No. I read that you know something about the Grinch.

Why was the Grinch the enemy of Christmas? Cindy Lou was asking and no one

She could answer clearly, that's why she gave herself the task of not resting, until

Find the truth.

CINDY:

OLD WOMAN 2:

I want you to tell me everything you know about the Grinch. I know them

I beg. Where did he come from?

Where he came from! Where all the children come from who. In the

Quiet nights those who newborns descend from heaven

In their own cribs with umbrellas.

As she narrates, the scene takes place in another area of the stage.

CINDY:

Oh, that's how they're born!

OLD WOMAN 1: It was Christmas Eve and that night a wind was blowing.

Weird. We were having our annual Christmas gathering. Until the next morning no one had
noticed that he was there,

Poor. But we saw right away that it was special.

OLD WOMAN 2:

It was a…whatever…wonderful. And we raised him like

Any other child who.

Cindy goes to Martha to ask her about the Grinch.


MARTHA MAY: The Grinch had no idea how to combine colors.

Although I sometimes helped him, he didn't have much time to do

Social life, he was very busy. What if she was in love with him?

Grinch (Laughs falsely) Of course not.

CINDY:

I have not asked him that.

MARTHA MAY: Oh, excuse me.

At school the Grinch with a group of children.

TEACHER: Tomorrow will be the exchange of Christmas gifts. they must bring

A special gift, for a special person.

MARTITA:

MAYOR:

You know, Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I love

The colors. Red, (caresses him) and green.

To tell the truth, he liked Martha. Martha was my girlfriend. not me

He likes to talk about the Grinch when Christmas is so close but

Maybe if I tell you the truth, you'll understand why.

I tried to be his protector.AUGUSTITO: You have nothing to do with her. You are 8 years old
and it comes out

Beard. (The rest of the group laughs)

MAYOR:

(The story continues) She had hair. Frightening. He was falling. Gave

Disgust.

At the end he hears the voice of the teacher “Everyone must come very handsome” and his

Comrade the Mayor “You are 8 years old and you grow a beard.” Depressed, he tries to shave.

TEACHER:

They are all ready? (All answer yes)

GRINCH KID: Not me. (She comes out with a bag on her head) Merry Christmas Martha

May. (Everyone laughs, Martha approaches) TEACHER:

Why are you wearing a bag on your head?


MAYOR KID: Because she’s embarrassed to deliver such a dreadful gift.

TEACHER:

Grinch please take off your bag. (Puts a book before

Do it) Put the book away. (He sees his face full of cuts)

MAYOR KID: Look what a mess. (Everyone starts laughing, even the teacher.

Except Martha. The angry Grinch throws the gift at the

The rest. He picks up the pine tree growling) PAUSE

MAYOR:

ATTENDEE:

MARTHA MAY:

How awful!

What fury!

What muscles! It was a horrible day. They were very cruel to him.

I could barely bear it. That was the last time we saw him.

STORYTELLER

The Grinch just hung out in his cave, hating everyone, for whatever reason.

Outside.

THE GRINCH: Let’s see, I’m going to go in alphabetical order. (From a directory

Telephone) Aaron Acevedo Who, I hate you. (Shouting at the four

Winds) Armando Armendariz Who, I hate you. (In a sweet voice.

After pointing at the directory) I hate you, I hate you, I hate you,

I hate… Augusto Almost Who I HATE YOU INFINITELY!

(Listen in the distance Nutcracker! It is the jubilation who!

NARRATOR: He said with a sneer.

THE GRINCH: Tomorrow is Christmas. (growls and reaches for a mallet) Oh mallet

Powerful, take care of those memories. (He hits himself on the head.

And he falls unconscious)

SCENE 9
In Villaquién everyone celebrating. CINDY:

Daddy I’ve been thinking about the glee who, and I might do

Something drastic.

LO:

CINDY:

BETTY:

MAYOR:

CINDY:

Well well. Ask your mother.

Where she went?

(She comes screaming from afar) Honey, honey. Look look. Other

Pay, you have to try it.

Today we will announce the candidates of who is best

It represents the qualities of who he is and who will be ours.

Cheerful teacher. I have heard a name.

I propose the Grinch!

They all turn astonished.

EVERYBODY:

The Grinch? The Grinch?

MAYOR:

LO:

MAYOR:

Go, go, go. You certainly have an altruistic daughter Lou.

(Shy) Thank you.

Cindy, I’ll read you a few verses from the Who’s book. (they pass him the

Book) Thank you. The term Grinchenio applies to everyone who

Christmas spirit is sparse and small, do you think it is the

A suitable example to be our cheerful teacher?

CINDY:

That verse is true, sir, but Whose book says this

Also. “No matter how different a who may seem, you will be received
Always with joy and for the better.”

Everyone murmurs in favor.

MAYOR:

Okay, yes. But the book says that (hesitating, leafing through the entire

Book without finding anything) “The Grinch will never have a prize

Access because many times things do not have what

Appropriate…

CINDY:

MAYOR:

CINDY:

That does not come, he is making it up.

Nerd. Of course it’s coming.

On which page? MAYOR:

CINDY:

Eh, I don’t see the point but, here it says it.

What the book does say is “The cheerful teacher is deserving of

A toast and a pat behind and it will be from the soul that needs it

Plus”. And it seems to me that that soul is the Grinch, and if everyone

They are as who as I suppose, they will think like me.

Everyone claps happily.

MAYOR:

They can waste a candidacy, it is their decision but they have

What to take into account that the Grinch will never appear.

ASSISTANT: And if so, the mayor must be rewarded.

MAYOR:

Eh, yes more or less. VIDEO 8

Everyone celebrates, while the Grinch sleeps he realices that he is also singing

Christmas carols and he wakes up very upset.

SCENE 10

THE GRINCH: Damn the Christmas carols. Cursed be the bliss and the rejoicing.

I have to drown out the noise. (He starts to make noise) No!
Works!

Enter (5th and 6th Everyday is a holiday)

STORYTELLER

Strong winds were buffeting the village of Whoville, one slight slip and you would fall for

The embankment. But that girl was brave and stubborn, she would convince the Grinch, she
wouldn’t

There was no doubt.

CINDY:

THE GRINCH:

(Knocks on the door) Mr. Grinch. Mr. Grinch! Hello. (Enters

Sneaking up. He finds it) Excuse me.

(Mysterious) Hello, little girl, how dare you enter the

Grinch’s Lair. What audacity, what impudence! What a tremendous

Impudence! You’ve summoned thunder and you can be ready now

For the boom. I am fear in person. Boo!

CINDY:

Mr. Grinch, my name is Cindy Lou Who.

THE GRINCH: Yes, terror walking slowly inside you.

CINDY:

I’m not afraid.

THE GRINCH: It is common for you to hide it when you are in the presence of evil

(she makes gestures and noises to scare her, but he doesn’t succeed) CINDY:

I think not.

THE GRINCH: Doubts? Another unmistakable sign of wanting

You no longer have a way out. Better get safe before I kill another

Time! (howls) I’m a psychopath, danger, danger. (Tired)

CINDY:

THE GRINCH:
CINDY:

Em, you should get some rest. (He stares at her and she

Laugh)

(To the public) TV and Facebook have numbed them. (To her,

Shouting) What do you want?

Mr. Grinch, I want you to agree to be our merry teacher of

Christmas.

THE GRINCH: Ah… happy, what of what?

CINDY:

THE GRINCH:

For that adorable sparkle in your eyes or for that nonconformist vein

That she reminds me of when I was young and less hairy, but

You’ve convinced me. And who knows? This jubilation Who could

Change my attitude towards life!

CINDY:

THE GRINCH: Just look at this little girl. Come to my house, invite me to

Come down and tell me so late. Even if I wanted to go, my schedule didn’t

I would allow it. (Checks the agenda) From two to four, two hours

For self-pity, from four to six-thirty leave your mind blank. At 7 find the solution to hunger in
the world and

Keep quiet At 8 my dance therapy class, I can’t


Cancel it again. At 9 deal with my self loathing. Although yes

I leave my mind blank for only an hour, instead of two and a half

I would have time to lie down on the bed, stare at the

Roof and go crazy. But what am I going to wear? (Remove the

Sheet off the floor and puts it on her skirt) this is not a suit it’s a

Skirt. Ugly, ugly, old-fashioned, this is ridiculous, if not

I find nothing pretty, I’m not going! (He listens to a singer outside.

He remains pensive. He kidnaps him) Model. Done, I’m not going.

SCENE 11

At the jubilation party who.

MAYOR:

The time has come to deliver the prize to our joyful

(everyone murmurs) Oh, who knew?


THE GRINCH: Okay, I’ll stay a while, I’ll let them envy me.

I take two canapés and go. (Repents) And if it was a

Bad joke? What if I have to pay for the drink? How I know

Dare! Okay, I’ll go, but I’ll be late like brides. Nope,

Yes, no, yes… No way, it’s already decided. I’m going to go there and not

There is more talk. I think I’ll change my clothes. (slips)

MAYOR:

Then the prize will correspond to the second candidate.

ASSISTANT: That’s right, someone for whom Christmas doesn’t come once a year.

But every minute of every day, attractive, and that they operated on him

Tonsils twice.

MAYOR:

CINDY:

BETTY:

THE GRINCH:

It is an interesting story. (Martha and Cindy disagree


Agreement) You see, what happened was that (The Grinch arrives)

Yes it came!

Honey, come here.

Suspense) Boo! (Everyone screams in fright) Oops! What a party, what

Party. I think I have come to accept an insignificant prize

And the girl, she told me about a check.

CINDY:

The thing about the check is not true! THE GRINCH: Well, give me the prize. What are you
waiting for?

MAYOR:

Don’t worry, Mr. Merry Christmas Teacher,

Endearing. They fed you, they clothed you, and here they are… Your

Grannies!

OLD WOMEN:
THE GRINCH:

OLD WOMEN:

MAYOR:

With permission, with permission. Thank you very much.

Are they still alive?

Our little one! (Everyone wants to touch him and make affection, he

He resists but ends up on the ground. They put a Christmas sweater on him)

And now merry teacher, the Christmas chair.

THE GRINCH: Which chair? (To Cindy) You didn’t tell me about any chairs.

CINDY:

Please, Mr. Grinch, please.

THE GRINCH:

MAYOR:

Nerd. Leave me, I’m not ready. There are too many things.

Put me down, I’m serious. They will pay dearly.


Now your taste buds will decide whose pudding is better.

Whose.

Everyone gives him pudding, but he doesn’t want it.

MAYOR:

MAYOR:

The Christmas conga!

Choose the pie.

They take him in the chair celebrating. The Grinch is getting used to it. They make a race

And he wins. Everyone celebrates.

THE GRINCH: Yes, I’m number 1, I’m number 1. I beat them, ha ha.

They take photos of him, they take photos with him.

MAYOR:

And finally the moment we have all been waiting for has arrived. (The

Grinch hugs the mayor)

THE GRINCH: Ah yes, my prize. (He whispers to her) And the check.

MAYOR:
There is no check. THE GRINCH:

MAYOR:

Sure? Because I heard someone said something about a check.

There is no check. Well, the time has come to pass the

Gift.

The assistant gives the Grinch a present, opens it, and it’s a razor.

MAYOR:

What better gift than a good shave! (everyone laughs

Except Martha and Cindy)

The Grinch turns on the razor very sad.

MAYOR:

What times, what times! And now I have a small present

For the love of my life. Martha May (kneels) I ask you to

Become Mrs. Augusto Almost Who. (showing a

Huge diamond. Everyone mutters)


MARTHA:

MAYOR:

August.

If you agree to be my wife, in addition to a life full of

Happiness, you will receive the following: an aaaaaaaaaaacar, VIDEO 9

Latest model, generous contribution from taxpayers of

Whoville, what do you decide. You have 20 seconds from now.

(contest music)

MARTHA:

THE GRINCH:

Well I. These gifts are so beautiful…

Of course they are, after all, that’s what it’s all about. Must

Recognize that that’s what it’s all about after all. Gifts, gifts.

Right, right, right? And what happens to them afterwards?

They all come to me, in their trash. They understand what I say.

Do you understand what I say? In your trash! Might even

Hang myself with the horrible ties I found in the

Dump. And greed… greed knows no bounds. I wish one

Diamond, golf clubs, I a pony to ride it and since I

I’ve got bored I’ll sell it to be torn to pieces and in the end

Everything ends in THE GARBAGE! Seriously, I don’t mean to offend you.

But this whole Christmas season is silly, silly, silly. (You

Razor the mayor’s head. She chases them

Everyone causing terror) It’s because I’m green, right! (She does
Explode all of Whoville)

All the villagers, passing the smoke.

MAYOR:

Lou! I am hurt, and a lot. It’s not easy what I’m going to say, but

You and your family have let me down. We can recover the

Christmas and celebrate it as it should be, without the Grinch. (To all) Happy

Christmas! (Everyone answers) CINDY:

I just wanted everyone to be united on the day of

Christmas.

SCENE 12

THE GRINCH:

ATTENDEE:

(In his cave) I had a great time, I hope they invite me on

The next year. (Listens to the Christmas carols again) Thunder and

Lightning bolts. They are soulless.

Yes, that every kid in Whoville knew the Grinch, tomorrow to open their presents

I would get up early. PAUSE

THE GRINCH:

What agony! Noise, noise, noise. Christmas carols, bells,

Happiness.

NARRATOR: Those who are big and small will feel honored and

They will eat, and they will eat…

THE GRINCH: And they will eat, they will eat, they will eat… They will have frutier. And the

Traditional turkey. And that’s something I’ve never put up with, I add.

Oh no, I’m speaking rhyming. (Cries) Damn who!

NARRATOR: And the more the Grinch thought about what Christmas would bring,

More thought the Grinch …

THE GRINCH: I’ll end the festivity. Cause year after year I’ve put up with it

With aplomb, I must prevent this Christmas from arriving, because how…
I say, in what way?

NARRATOR: Then he had an idea, a terrifying idea…

THE GRINCH: Yes, sir. I already know what I will do.

NARRATOR: With a cruel laugh, the Grinch made himself a coat and a hat.

From Santa Claus, and he chuckled, the great Grinchoso deceit of him.

THE GRINCH: This suit and this hat give me the Christmas touch. (Sings) PLAY

Al Grinch, they destroy Christmas! If they invite the Grinch, they destroy

Christmas!! But did anyone want to listen to me?

Unconscious. Cindy, I hope you are very proud of what

You’ve done.

She makes you happy. Are you glad they took everything from us? Tea

Glad the Grinch practically smashed, no, no

Shattered, pulverized Christmas. Is that what you mean?

Lord, Christmas does not spoil because what matters are not

Gifts, in contest or decorations. That’s what Cindy

She was trying to tell everyone, and me, especially me.

But what’s wrong with you? She is a girl.

She is my girl and it turns out that she is absolutely right.

Oh!

At Christmas I only need just what I have here. To my family.

Merry Christmas to all!

What I needed to see.

Cindy travels to the Grinch’s mountain.

CINDY:

Mr. Grinch, Mr. Grinch. THE GRINCH: And now I will put the final note to my symphony for
revenge EN

Greater hate, the hate that runs throughout my body. (Pushes the

Costal and suddenly Christmas carols are heard) PLAY

STORYTELLER

The Grinch heard the sound rising above the snow, first softly and less and less.

Mild. The sound was not sad, on the contrary, very happy, what if it was happy. Much.

All the people of Villaquién hand in hand sang, there was no gift, that’s what

It mattered. (Throws a tantrum) The Grinch did not avoid Christmas, because it came
suddenly…

THE GRINCH: In the end it had to come anyway. Play

NARRATOR: And the Grinch’s green feet frozen by the cold snow standing

He pondered, and pondered. PAUSE

THE GRINCH: I don’t understand. He arrives without gifts, he arrives without cards, he arrives
without
Wrappers, bags, or suitcases. Play

NARRATOR: And he pondered and pondered, until the pondering hurt. Then he

Something happened that you didn’t think of before PAUSE

THE GRINCH:

Maybe Christmas is not bought in stores. Maybe the

Christmas, perhaps, means something else. (screams in pain)

Help me, I’m… feeling. (Heart begins to beat)

Play

NARRATOR: So what happened, in Villaquién it was said that the little

Heart of the Grinch, he grew 3 sizes, that day. PAUSE

The Grinch begins to cry.

THE GRINCH: I don’t know what’s happening to me. (The sun rises) I sit down, squishy

Inside. (She wipes away a tear) And I have leaks.

You discovered me agent. I did. I am the Grinch who stole Christmas and I’m… sorry. (The
policeman does nothing) And the handcuffs? Is he not going to hang me or throw itchy
powder?

You heard it, agent just confessed. I would give him the pica pica.
Yes, I heard you right, Mr. Mayor. He has said, that he is sorry. It also seems that everything is
here and that nothing is missing. (Everyone is moved) Please help me, Martha!

Here I am Augusto Almost Who, I’m afraid I’ve found something for you. (hands the ring back
to him) I’ll give it back to you. I’m sorry but my heart belongs (looking at the Grinch) to
another.

THE GRINCH: Me? Me? (Screams with excitement) I have a girlfriend, I have a girlfriend. (To
the mayor) No hard feelings, huh. (He laughs in his face) Joy, it’s Christmas.
