Grinch: [as Max sneezes] Gesundheit.
[Max growls; this causes Cindy Lou to see the Grinch and Max, and she screams, and the Grinch screams back; drops down to the ground and snorts.]
Cindy: You're the, the, the, the…
Grinch: [imitating Cindy] "The, the, the, the…" [normal voice; loudly] THE GRINCH!
Cindy: Aah! [falls down a mail shaft] Help!
Grinch: Well...
Cindy: Help!
Grinch: ...That worked out nicely.
Cindy: Help! [big stamp stamps fragile on present; muffled] Help me! Somebody!
Grinch: [to Max] Max, let's go. Our work here is finished. [chomps] Sheesh!
Cindy: Help me! Please! Help!
Grinch: [sees Max biting his own cloak] That is not a chew toy! Stop it, Max! Get that out of your mouth! You have no idea where it's been!
[Cindy screams, and a whistle blows]
Cindy: Help!
Grinch: [scowls; annoyed] Ohhh... Bleeding hearts of the world, UNITE!
Cindy: Help! Help!
Grinch: [saves Cindy] There. [takes back his goofy mask] Give me that! DON'T YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE THINGS THAT DON'T BELONG TO YOU?! WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU, YOU SOME KIND OF WILD ANIMAL?! HUH?!
Cindy: [shaking her head] Uh-uh.
Grinch: [to Max] Let's go. [heads to the exit]
Cindy: Thanks for saving me.
Grinch: [screeches to a stop, fingers scrape against glass, turns around angrily] Saving you? Is that what you think I was doing?
Cindy: [nods] Uh-huh.
Grinch: [wags finger] Wrong-o. [grabs wrapping paper] I merely noticed that you were improperly packaged, my dear! [begins wrapping Cindy Lou wildly in wrapping paper] DRAT! Hold still! [stops wrapping, to Max] Max, pick out a bow! [resumes wrapping Cindy Lou in wrapping paper, stops] Can I use your finger for a second?
Cindy: Hello? Hello!
Grinch: [puts on his mask] Ow.
Lou Lou Who: [enters back room] Cindy?
Cindy: Dad. [Lou sees her covered in gift wrapping that the Grinch wrapped her up with earlier] Daddy! Daddy!
Lou Lou Who: What the hey? Honey? Cindy?
Cindy: [removes gift wrapping] Dad, it was amazing!
Lou: You've been practicing your Christmas wrapping. Honey, I'm so proud of you.
Cindy: Uh… Oh. Well…
Lou: Now that's holiday!
Narrator: Sweet little Cindy didn't know what to do. In her head bum-tumbled a conflict or two; "If the Grinch was so bad, then why did he save me? Maybe he wasn't so bad."
Lou: Come on, let's go home.
Narrator: "Maybe. Just maybe."
