"Every Who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot, but the Grinch... who lived just north of Whoville... did not. The Grinch hated Christmas — the whole Christmas season. Oh, please don't ask why, no one quite knows the reason. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right. But I think that the most likely reason of all... may have been that his heart was two sizes too small."
"And what happened then? Well, in Who-ville they say... that the Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day! And then... the true meaning of Christmas came through, and the Grinch found the strength of ten grinches... plus two."
"[last lines] Welcome, Christmas, bring your cheer. Cheer to all Whos far and near. Christmas Day is in our grasp, so long as we have hands to clasp. Christmas Day will always be just as long as we have we. Welcome, Christmas. While we stand. Heart to heart… and hand in hand."
"You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch. You really are a heel. You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch! You're a bad banana with a... greasy black peel!"
"You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch. You're a nasty wasty skunk. Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch! The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote "Stink, stank, stunk!""

"All right, I need to get this speck up to the top of Mount Nool A.S.A.P., whatever that means. Probably "act swiftly awesome pachyderm"! I mean, how hard can that be? [sees a loose rope bridge over a deadly chasm] It's a sheer plummet to certain death."

[cut to featured photos of his ancestors, including one at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden Buffalo, which he calls "not-so-great", with the last one depicting a cave Who] ...Great-great-great-great...not-so-great...great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-greeeaat...grandfather. Someday, I hope to join them, and be one of the greats."
"[after being called a "boob" by the Chairman] He has the nerve to call somebody a boob? I would never call somebody a boob. He's a boob. Look at you. Yuck!

[throws a stapler at a painting of the Chairman, which bounces off and hits him in the face, leaving a staple implanted on his forehead, causing him to scream in pain]"

"[first lines; narrating] Have you ever felt like you were a little bit different, like you had something unique to offer the world if you could just get people to see it? Then you know exactly how it felt... to be me."
"[narrating] I wanted to run away that day...but you can't run away from your own feet."
"From that moment on, I was determined to invent something great."
"[narrating] My dream was to help my hometown, a tiny island hidden under the "A" in "Atlantic", called Swallow Falls. We were famous for sardines until the day the Baby Brent Sardine Cannery closed for good right after everyone in the world realized that sardines are super gross. Soon, all of us were stuck eating the sardines that no one else wanted. Poached, fried, boiled, dried, candied, and juiced. Life became gray and flavorless. But when all seemed lost, I stared at defeat and found hope. My name is Flint Lockwood. And I was about to invent a machine that turns water into food."
"Everyone is going to love this."
"[narrating] It had been almost 10 years since Mom died. And Dad still didn't understand me like she did."
"[running up to the power station] This is a great idea."
"[seeing everyone crossly chewing him out while trapped in the giant fish bowl after destroying Sardine Land; defeated] Ay, Papi."
"[demonstrating to Sam Sparks about how the FLDSMDFR works] Water goes in the top, and food comes out the bottom."
"[Sam: Jell-O's my favorite!] You never made a request, so... I made one for you."
"[while playing a Jell-O piano] Everything's made of Jell-O! This piano, those sconces, that ghetto blaster, that Jell-O, that aquarium, that Venus de Milo with your face on it next to a Michelangelo's David that also has your face."
"[to Tim, about wanting to turn off his invention; coldly] It's making everybody happy! Everybody except you. When are you going to accept that this is who I am instead of trying to get me to work in some boring tackle shop?"
"[seeing big hot dogs all around] These are big hot dogs."
"[explaining to Mayor Shelbourne about the food being over-mutated] This is the molecular structure of a hot dog that fell last week. And this is the molecular structure of a hot dog that fell today. The machine uses microwave radiation to mutate the genetic recipe of the food. The more we ask it to make, the more clouds it takes in, the more radiation it emits, the more these food molecules could over-mutate. I think that's why the food is getting bigger."
"[seeing a spaghetti tornado] Mamma mia."
"For the first time in my life, everybody loves something that I've done."
"I've gotta stop the machine! Everyone's in danger because of me!"
"I tried to help everybody, but instead I ruined everything. I'm just a piece of junk. So I threw myself away...Along with all these dumb inventions. [holds up his Spray-On-Shoes spray can to Tim] This is junk. [then holds up his Hair Un-Balder] This is junk. [points to himself] This is junk."
"Mom was wrong about me. I'm not an inventor. I should've just quit when you said."
"[as Tim holds up his lab coat he lost from the spaghetti tornado] My coat."
"Come on, Steve. We've got a diem to carpe!"
"When it rains, you put on a coat...of Spray-On Shoes!"
"What is the number one problem facing our community today? Untied shoelaces. Which is why I've invented a lace-less alternative foot covering. Spray-On-Shoes!"
"I don't understand fishing metaphors!"
"Everyone just thinks I'm a weirdo."
"A professional-grade lab coat. Just like the real guys wear! [tries it on] It fits perfect!"
"Can you believe it, Manny? Temporary professional meteorologist. Whoo!"
"[looks closely at Flint's shoes] What is going on with your feet? (Flint: Spray-On-Shoes. They don't come off.)"
"Thanks, Patrick. Okay, everyone, you're not going to believe this one, but I'm standing in the middle of a burger rain. You may have seen a meteor shower, but you have never seen a shower "meatier" than this. For a town stuck eating sardines, this is totally manna from heaven."
"[surprised while entering Flint's lab] Wow, you seriously spend a lot of time alone."
"Well, those cheeseburgers were only the beginning, because a breakfast system is on its way to Swallow Falls. My forecast? Sunny side up."
"Now that's what I call, poultry in motion."
"Leftovers? Not a problem with Flint Lockwood's latest invention, the Outtasighter, so named because it catapults uneaten food out of sight, and therefore, out of mind."
"Flint, this is amazing! And designing the ice cream to accumulate into scoops? I don't know how you're gonna top this!"
"I scream, you scream, we all scream for Flint Lockwood's latest tasty town-wide treat, with flurries of frozen fun on what the mayor declared to be an ice cream snow day. He'd also like to invite everyone in the world to catch a cruise liner, and come on down this Saturday for the grand opening of Chew and Swallow, a town that is truly à la mode. With today's scoop for the Weather News Network, I'm Sam Sparks!"
"We are about to be in the epicenter of a perfect food storm. It's going to spread across the globe. I've calculated the Coriolis acceleration of the storm system. First, it'll hit New York, then Paris, then the Jiayuguan Pass in eastern China. And in four hours, the entire northern hemisphere will be one big potluck."
"[upon seeing the meateroid] Water goes in the top, a food hurricane comes out the bottom."
"Where's Flint? [looks outside as the meateroid explodes; despaired, thinking Flint died] NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
"Your son was a great man."
"Hello, Sam Sparks. I’m America!"
"You're under arrest, Flint Lockwood! Thank goodness you only caused minimal damage to Sardine Land."
"Hey! This mess we're in is all our fault. Me, I didn't even protect my own son. Look, I'm as mad at Flint as you are. In fact, when he gets out of that car, I'm gonna slap him in the face! I know Flint Lockwood made the food, but it was made to order, and now it's time for all of us to pay the bill."
"My chest hairs are tingling. Something's wrong."
"[repeated line] Uh-oh!"
"What a freak! He wants to be smart, but that's lame."
"[running while carrying a pair of gold plated ceremonial scissors] I really shouldn't be running with these!"
"[dismayed as Flint and Tim enter The Roofless restaurant] What?! You're letting that guy in?! That guy's a nerd!"
"Glad I'm wearing a diaper."

"If you were asked to choose the most fabulous character in English literature, who would it be? Robin Hood? King Arthur? Becky Sharp? Sherlock Holmes? Oliver Twist, perhaps? Well, any one of them would be an excellent choice. Still, for the most fabulous character of all, I would nominate... a toad - J. Thaddeus Toad, Esq. Have you ever met him? You'll find his story in this delightful little book, "The Wind In the Willows". Toad, you might say, was the one disturbing element: incurable adventurer, mad, reckless, tried everything, positive mania for fads, and he never countered the cost. Had a host affair with friends, of course, but there were only three who had his best interests at heart. One was a badger, MacBadger. Another was a water rat; a bit stuffy, perhaps, but really a fine fellow. And a mole; gentle creature, kind and sympathetic."
