Quote context

[...]

- Christmas day is in our grasp, so long as we have hands to clasp.

- And they'll sing, and they'll sing. And they'll sing. Sing, sing, sing.

- And the more the Grinch thought of this Who-Christmas sing, the more the Grinch thought: -I must stop this whole thing.

- Why, for 53 years, I've put up with it now.

- I must stop Christmas from coming. But how?

- Then he got an idea. An awful idea. The Grinch got a wonderful, awful idea.

- I know just what to do.

- The Grinch laughed in his throat.

- I'll make a quick Santy Claus hat and a coat.

- Then he chuckled and clucked...

- What a great Grinchy trick. With this coat and this hat, I'll look just like Saint Nick.
