The Grinch: The nerve of those Whos. Inviting me down there - and on such short notice. Even if I wanted to go my schedule simply wouldn't allow it. 4:00, wallow in self pity; 4:30, stare into the abyss; 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no-one. 5:30, jazzercize. 6:30, dinner with me. I can't cancel that again. 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing; I'm booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9 I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness. But what would I wear?

Kate: [upon seeing the decorated Christmas tree] Oh my goodness, that is beautiful! Charles Dickens: Isn’t it? The Germans call it a Tannenbaum. It’s a tree for Christmas, a Christmas tree, I suppose. Now the royal family got one, it’ll be all the rage.
