“Lock, Barrel, Shock: Jack! Jack! We caught him. [catching themselves] We got him.
Jack Skellington: Perfect! Open it up. Quickly! [opens it up to reveal the Easter bunny] That's not Sandy Claws!
Shock: It isn't?
Barrel: Who is it?
Behemoth: [the Easter bunny hops up a set of steps and up to the Behemoth, sniffing him—he points at it] BUNNY! [it leaps back into the covered tub, terrified]
Jack Skellington: Not Sandy Claws... Take him back!
Lock: We followed your instructions...
Barrel: We went through the door...
Jack Skellington: Which door? There's more than one! Sandy Claws is behind the door shaped like this. [shows Christmas cookie in shape of tree]
Shock: I told you!
Jack Skellington: [Lock and Shock fight, Jack buries his face in his hand and after a moment stretches out his jaw and screams] AURR! [they stop fighting and gasp with Barrel…to the Easter bunny] I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, sir. [to the henchmen] Take him home first. And apologize again. Be careful with Sandy Claws when you fetch him. Treat him nicely.
Barrel: Got it.
Lock: We'll get it right...
Lock, Barrel, Shock: Next time”
