[singing] And on a dark cold night, under full moonlight, he flies into the fog like a vulture in the sky! [in a deeper tone] And they call him, Sandy... Clawssss...!
No, Zero. Down, boy....My, what a brilliant nose you have. The better to light my way! You're the head of the team, Zero!
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 Skellington: The job I have for you is top secret. It requires skill, craft, cunning, mis— Shock: And we thought you didn't like us, Jack.
Of course, I've been too close to see! The answer's right in front of me!

And sit together, now and forever. For it is plain, as anyone can see. We're simply meant to be.
My dearest friend, if you don't mind...I'd like to join you by your side. Where we can gaze into the stars...
Just because I cannot see it, doesn't mean I can't believe it!
I mean, how do they expect you to get uncrazy if you're asleep all the time?
I couldn't explain why I did the things I did. So I went to this psychiatrist who explained to me I was a woman in a man's body. So Sonny right away wanted to get me money for a sex change operation: but where was he to get that? 2,500 dollars! My God, he's in hock up to his ears already.
He won't listen to anybody. He's been very crazy all summer. Since June he's been trying to kill me.
