  • Mayor : Jack, please, I'm only an elected official here, I can't make decisions by myself!

    Jack Skellington : *No.*

    [the Mayor switches to his upset face]

    Mayor : Oh. How *jolly* our Christmas will be.

  • Sally : I had the most terrible vision.

    Jack Skellington : That's splendid!

    Sally : No - it was about your Christmas. There was smoke... and fire!

    Jack Skellington : That's not *my* Christmas! *My* Christmas is filled with laughter, and joy... and this: my Sandy Claws outfit. I want you to make it.

    Sally : Jack, please listen to me. It's going to be a disaster!

    Jack Skellington : How could it be? Just follow the pattern!

    [holds up design of outfit] 

    Jack Skellington : This part's red, the trim is white...

    Sally : It's a mistake, Jack!

    Jack Skellington : Now don't be modest. Who else is clever enough to make my Sandy Claws outfit?

    Mayor : Next!

    Jack Skellington : I have every confidence in you.

    Sally : But it seems wrong to me. Very wrong.

    Lock , Shock , Barrel : Pile of dust! Pile of dust! Skeleton Jack is a pile of dust!

  • Lock : [of Jack]  There he is!

    Barrel : Alive!

    Shock : Just like we said!

    Mayor : [throws Jack a ladder]  Grab ahold, my boy!

  • [Oogie Boogie is about to send Sally and Santa Claus down the fiery pit] 

    Sally : You wait till Jack hears about this! By the time he's through with you, you'll be lucky if you...

    Mayor : [drives by on megaphone, sadly]  The king of Halloween has been blown to smithereens! Skeleton Jack is now a pile of dust!

    [Sally gasps in shock] 

    Oogie Boogie Man : What's that you were saying about luck, rag doll?
