Dr. Seuss on the Loose (1973 TV Movie)

Bob Holt: Sneetches, Sylvester McMonkey McBean

Quotes 

• Narrator : They kept them away. Never let them come near. / And that's how they treated them, year after year. / They got snorted. They got snooted. / Their bottoms got booted, / While the Star-Bellied Sneetches all taunted and hooted...

  Sneetch : They just are not suited!

  Sneetch , Sneetch , Sneetch : No stars upon thars!

• Sneetch Choir : [singing]  Twink, twink, twinkle, twinkle lovely little star...

  Young Sneetch : [singing]  Twink, twink, twinkle, twinkle stupid little star.

  Sneetch Choir : If there's one upon your tummy, that's just yummy; you're a chummy/If there isn't you're a crummy, slummy, gummy, bummy dummy/That applies likewise to your daddy and your mommy/Twink, twink, twinkle, twinkle lovely little star...

  Young Sneetch : Twink, twink, twinkle, twinkle stupid little star!

• Sylvester McMonkey McBean : I've heard of your troubles. I've heard you're unhappy. But I can fix that. I'm the Fix-It-Up Chappie. I've come here to help you. I have what you need. And my prices are low. And I work with great speed. And my work is one hundred per cent guaranteed!

• Narrator : Then, when every last cent of their money was spent, the Fix-It-Up Chappie packed up. And he went. And he laughed as he drove in his car up the beach...

  Sylvester McMonkey McBean : They never will learn. No. You can't teach a Sneetch!

  Narrator : But McBean was quite wrong. I'm quite happy to say that the Sneetches got really quite smart on that day. The day they decided that Sneetches are Sneetches, and no kind of Sneetch is the best on the beaches. That day, all the Sneetches forgot about stars and whether they had one, or not, upon thars.

  Sylvester McMonkey McBean : Thank you.
