The Grinch

A2-B1
The Grinch is an unpleasant

"Who-hating" grouch with a
wicked temper, sour attitude,
depressed judgment, and a heart
about two sizes too small (the
only exception to this is the end
of How the Grinch Stole
Christmas!, where he becomes
whole-hearted and loving), and
is always out to ruin something.
This dog knows how to make a perfect cup of

coffee (even if his owner can’t appreciate it).
Max helps convince the Grinch to do the right
thing not only for all the people in Whoville,
but also with Fred the Reindeer. And by
always standing at his owner’s side, it is his
friendship that keeps the Grinch from
becoming a bad guy completely.
Max is The Grinch's dog

reserve of moose juice? And goose juice? My emergency stash of Who Hash? And my
secret slew of frozen Beezle-Nut stew? (SIGHS) I specifically bought enough food to last
until January. How much emotional eating have I been doing? (CHOMPING) (WHINES)
No, I won't. I will not. I am not going to Who-ville during... (HACKING) Christmas!
(GASPS) Ugh! (WHINES) Fine. But I'm gonna despise every second of it. - (WIND
WHOOSHING)
- (SIGHS) Come on, Max.
NARRATOR:Yes, the Grinch hated Christmas, the whole Christmas season. Now, please

- It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right.

sizes too small. (HEART BEATING)
GRINCH: Now, remember, Max, this is the time of year when the Whos are at their most
deceptive. You have my full permission to attack anyone who so much as says one kind
word to us. Okay, let's go. (LIVELY CHATTER)
MAN: Good to see you. How's work?
WOMAN: Hi. Merry Christmas.
DONNA: Wait, wait, wait! Hold the bus! - Wait, stop. Oh! - Whoa! - Coming through. -
Hey! Wait! Wait! Sam! Hold the bus! - Oh! - (BRAKES HISSING) - Whoa! - (CRASHES) -

(SIGHS) They've still got you on the night shift, huh? Sure do.

- All right, now that that's over, back to the task at hand. Whoo. It's a little crisp. Oh, it's

the mother lode. We'll have reindeer to pull our... Huh? Well, Santa had eight. He looks like
he ate the other seven. Watch and learn, Max. All right.Stop, stop. Onward, my furry friends.
