The script to Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas
NARRATOR
'Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems, in a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams. For the story that you are about to be told, took place in the holiday worlds of old. Now, you've probably wondered where holidays come from. If you haven't, I'd say it's time you begun.

Great Halloween everybody.

JACK
Not at all Mayor.
VAMPIRE
You're such a scream, Jack
WITCH
You're a witch's fondest dream!
SMALL
You made walls fall, Jack
WITCH
Walls fall? You made the very mountains crack, Jack
DR. FINKELSTEIN
The deadly nightshade you slipped me wore off, Sally.
SALLY
Let go!
DR. FINKELSTEIN
You're not ready for so much excitement!
SALLY
Yes I am!
DR. FINKELSTEIN
You're coming with me!
SALLY
No I'm not!
[Sally pulls out the thread that's holding her arm on]
DR. FINKELSTEIN
Come back here you foolish oaf! Ow!
CREATURE FROM BLACK LAGOON
Ooo Jack, you make wounds ooze and flesh crawl.
JACK
Thank you, thank you, thank you -- very much
MAYOR
Hold it! We haven't given out the prizes yet! Our first award goes to the vampires for most blood drained in a single evening.
[applause]
MAYOR
A frightening and honorable mention goes to the fabulous Dark Lagoon leeches
SAX PLAYER
Nice work, Bone Daddy.
JACK
Yeah, I guess so. Just like last year and the year before that and the year before that.
[entering graveyard]
Jack's Lament
(Performed by Danny Elfman)
There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best
For my talents are renowned far and wide
When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night
I excel without ever even trying
With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms
I have seen grown men give out a shriek
With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed moan
I have swept the very bravest off their feet
Yet, year after year, it's the same routine
And I grow so weary of the sound of screams
And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King
Have grown so tired of the same old thing
Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones
An emptiness began to grow
There's something out there, far from my home
A longing that I've never known
I'm a master of fright, and a demon of light
And I'll scare you right out of your pants
To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky
And I'm known throughout England and France
And since I am dead, I can take off my head
To recite Shakespearean quotations
No animal nor man can scream like I can
With the fury of my recitations
But who here would ever understand
That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin
Would tire of his crown, if they only understood
He'd give it all up if he only could
Oh, there's an empty place in my bones
That calls out for something unknown
The fame and praise come year after year
Does nothing for these empty tears
[leaving graveyard and entering forest]
SALLY
Jack, I know how you feel.
[Sally gathers herbs]
[back at Dr. Finkelstein's castle]
DR. FINKELSTEIN
Sally, you've come back.
SALLY
I had to.
DR. FINKELSTEIN
For this?
[showing her arm]
SALLY
Yes.
DR. FINKELSTEIN
Shall we then.
That's twice this month you've slipped deadly nightshade into my tea and run off --
SALLY
Three times!
DR. FINKELSTEIN
You're mine you know! I made you with my own hands.
SALLY
You can make other creations. I'm restless, I can't help it.
DR. FINKELSTEIN
It's a phase my dear, it'll pass. We need to be patient that's all.
SALLY
But, I don't want to be patient.
[forest]
ZERO
[barks]
JACK
No Zero, not now. I'm not in the mood.
ZERO

JACK
All right. [giving Zero a rib from himself] Here ya go boy.
[Zero gets rib and shows off his nose]
[Back to Halloween Town]
MAYOR
Morning gents [to the band]
[humming This Is Halloween, walks up to Jack's front door and rings bell]
MAYOR
Jack, you home?
[getting worried, switches face and knocks with desperation then switch back to happy face]
MAYOR
Jack? I've got the plans for next Halloween. I need to go over them with you so we can get started.
MAYOR
(with worried face)
Jack, please, I'm only an elected an official here, I can't make decisions by myself. Jack, answer me!!
[falls down steps]
ACCORDION PLAYER
He's not home.
MAYOR
Where is he?
SAX PLAYER
He hasn't been home all night.
MAYOR
Oooooh
[back to forest]
JACK
(yawning) Where are we? It's someplace new.
ZERO
bark bark
JACK
What is this?
[Jack sees Valentine's tree, shamrock tree, Easter egg tree, turkey tree]
JACK
[gasps]
[sees Christmas tree]
[turns knob and gets sucked in]
ZERO
[barks]
JACK
Whoa!!
What's This?
(Performed by Danny Elfman)
What's this? What's this?
There's color everywhere
What's this?
There's white things in the air
What's this?
I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair
What's this?
What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong
What's this?
There's people singing songs
What's this?
The streets are lined with
Little creatures laughing
Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy?
What is this?
What's this?
There's children throwing snowballs
Instead of throwing heads
They're busy building toys
And absolutely no one's dead
There's frost in every window
Oh, I can't believe my eyes
And in my bones I feel the warmth
That's coming from inside
Oh, look! What's this?
They're hanging mistletoe
They kiss?
Why, that looks so unique
Inspired!
They're gathering around to hear a story
Roasting chestnuts on a fire
What's this?
What's this?
In here they've got a little tree
How queer
And who would ever think?
And why?
They're covering it with tiny little things
They've got electric lights on strings
And there's a smile on everyone
So, now, correct me if I'm wrong
This looks like fun
This looks like fun
Oh, could it be I got my wish?
What's this?
Oh my, what now?
The children are asleep
But look, there's nothing underneath
No ghouls, no witches here to scream or scare them
Or ensnare them, only little cozy things
Secure inside their dreamland
What's this?
The monsters are all missing
And the nightmares can't be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good feeling all around
Instead of screams, I swear
I can hear music in the air
The smell of cakes and pies
Are absolutely everywhere
The sights, the sounds
They're everywhere and all around
I've never felt so good before
This empty place inside of me is filling up
I simply cannot get enough
I want it, oh, I want it
Oh, I want it for my own
I've got to know, I've got to know
What is this place that I have found?
What is this?
Christmas Town? Hmm...
SANDY CLAWS
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
JACK
hmm..
[Halloween Town]
CLOWN
This has never happened before.
WITCH
It's suspicious.
SMALL WITCH
It's peculiar.
VAMPIRES
It's scary.
MAYOR
Stand aside.
WEREWOLF
Grrrr
MAYOR
Coming through. We've got find Jack. There's only 365 days left till next Halloween.
WEREWOLF
364!
MAYOR
Is there anywhere we've forgotten to check?
CLOWN
I looked in every mausoleum.
WITCHES
We opened the sarcophagi.
MR. HYDE
I tromped through the pumpkin patch.
VAMPIRE
I peeked behind the Cyclops's eye. I did! But he wasn't there.
MAYOR
It's time to sound the alarms.
[Dr. Finkelstein's castle]
SALLY
Frog's breath will overpower any odor. Bitter. [coughing] Worm's wart. Where's that worm's wart?
DR. FINKELSTEIN
Sally, that soup ready yet?
SALLY
Coming....lunch
DR. FINKELSTEIN
Ah, what's that? Worm's wart, mmm, and...frog's breath.
SALLY
What's wrong? I-I thought you liked frog's breath.
DR. FINKELSTEIN
Nothing's more suspicious than frog's breath. Until you taste it I won't swallow a spoonful.
SALLY
I'm not hungry... [knocking spoon] Oops!
DR. FINKELSTEIN
You want me to starve. An old man like me who hardly has strength as it is. Me, to whom you owe your very life.
SALLY
Oh don't be silly. [eats soup with trick spoon] Mmmm, see. Scrumptious.
[Dr. Finkelstein eats soup]
[Halloween]
MAYOR
Did anyone think to dredge the lake?
VAMPIRE
Ah, this morning!
ZERO
[barks]
WITCH
Hear that?
SMALL WITCH
What?
WITCH
Shh!
ZERO
[barks]
VAMPIRE
Zero!
[fanfare as Jack and Zero arrive]
CORPSE KID
Jack's back!
MAYOR
Where have you been?
JACK
Call a town meeting and I'll tell everyone all about it.
MAYOR
When?
JACK
Immediately!
MAYOR
[in his mayor truck]
Town meeting, town meeting, town meeting tonight, town meeting tonight
[at meeting]
CLOWN
[giggles as he hits Sally]
JACK
Listen everyone. I want to tell you about Christmas Town.
Town Meeting Song
(Performed by Danny Elfman and Cast)
JACK
There were objects so peculiar
They were not to be believed
All around, things to tantalize my brain
It's a world unlike anything I've ever seen
And as hard as I try
I can't seem to describe
Like a most improbable dream
But you must believe when I tell you this
It's as real as my skull and it does exist
Here, let me show you
This is a thing called a present
The whole thing starts with a box
DEVIL
A box?
Is it steel?
WEREWOLF
Are there locks?
HARLEOUIN DEMON
Is it filled with a pox?
DEVIL, WEREWOLF, HARLEQUIN DEMON
A pox
How delightful, a pox
JACK
If you please
Just a box with bright-colored paper
And the whole thing's topped with a bow
WITCHES
A bow?
But why?
How ugly
What's in it?
What's in it?
JACK
That's the point of the thing, not to know
CLOWN
It's a bat
Will it bend?
CREATURE UNDER THE STAIRS
It's a rat
Will it break?
UNDERSEA GAL
Perhaps it s the head that I found in the lake
JACK
Listen now, you don't understand
That's not the point of Christmas-land
Now, pay attention
We pick up an oversized sock
And hang it like this on the wall
MR. HYDE
Oh, yes! Does it still have a foot?
MEDIUM MR. HYDE
Let me see, let me look
SMALL MR. HYDE
Is it rotted and covered with gook?
JACK
Um, let me explain
There's no foot inside, but there's candy
Or sometimes it's filled with small toys
MUMMY, WINGED DEMON
Small toys
WINGED DEMON
Do they bite?
MUMMY
Do they snap?
WINGED DEMON
Or explode in a sack?
CORPSE KID
Or perhaps they just spring out
And scare girls and boys
MAYOR
What a splendid idea
This Christmas sounds fun
I fully endorse it
Let's try it at once
JACK
Everyone, please now, not so fast
There's something here that you don't quite grasp
Well, I may as well give them what they want
And the best, I must confess, I have saved for the last
For the ruler of this Christmas-land
Is a fearsome king with a deep mighty voice
Least that's what I've come to understand
And I've also heard it told
That he's something to behold
Like a lobster, huge and red
When he sets out to slay with his rain gear on
Carting bulging sacks with his big great arms
That is, so I've heard it said
And on a dark cold night
Under full moonlight
He flies into a fog
Like a vulture in the sky
And they call him... Sandy Claws
Well, at least they're excited
But they don't understand
That special kind of feeling in Christmas-land
Oh, well...
[Jack's house]
JACK
There's got to be a logical way to explain this Christmas thing.
[Dr. Finkelstein's castle]
DR. FINKELSTEIN
You've poisoned me for the last time you wretched girl.
[locks Sally away]
[dingdong]
DR. FINKELSTEIN
Oh my head...the door is open.
JACK
Hello
DR. FINKELSTEIN
Jack Skellington, up here my boy.
JACK
Dr. I need to borrow some equipment.
DR. FINKELSTEIN
Is that so, whatever for?
JACK
I'm conducting a series of experiments.
DR. FINKELSTEIN
How perfectly marvelous. Curiosity killed the cat, you know.
JACK
I know.
DR. FINKELSTEIN
Come on into the lab and we'll get you all fixed up.
SALLY
Hmm. Experiments?
[Jack's house]
JACK
Zero, I'm home.
[Jack examines & experiments with Christmas stuff]
JACK
Interesting reaction....but what does it mean?
[Sally's room]
[after Sally jumps to give Jack his basket...]
DR. FINKELSTEIN
You can come out now if you promise to behave. Sally. Sally. Oooh! Gone again!
[Jack's house]
[Sally gives Jack his basket and sneaks off and picks a flower which catches on fire]
Jack's Obsession
(Performed by Danny Elfman and Cast)
VAMPIRES
Something's up with Jack
Something's up with Jack
Don't know if we're ever going to get him back
WEREWOLF
He's all alone up there
Locked away inside
CORPSE MOTHER
Never says a word
CORRPSE KID
Hope he hasn't died
VAMPIRES, WEREWOLF
Something's up with Jack
Something's up with Jack
JACK
Christmas time is buzzing in my skull
Will it let me be? I cannot tell
There's so many things I cannot grasp
When I think I've got it, and then at last
Through my bony fingers it does slip
Like a snowflake in a fiery grip
Something here I'm not quite getting
Though I try, I keep forgetting
Like a memory long since past
Here in an instant, gone in a flash
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
In these little bric-a-brac
A secret's waiting to be cracked
These dolls and toys confuse me so
Confound it all, I love it though
Simple objects, nothing more
But something's hidden through a door
Though I do not have the key
Something's there I cannot see
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What does it mean?
Hmm...
I've read these Christmas books so many times
I know the stories and I know the rhymes
I know the Christmas carols all by heart
My skull's so full, it's tearing me apart
As often as I've read them, something's wrong
So hard to put my bony finger on
Or perhaps it's really not as deep
As I've been led to think
Am I trying much too hard?
Of course! I've been too close to see
The answer's right in front of me
Right in front of me
It's simple really, very clear
Like music drifting in the air
Invisible, but everywhere
Just because I cannot see it
Doesn't mean I can't believe it
You know, I think this Christmas thing
It's not as tricky as it seems
And why should they have all the fun?
It should belong to anyone
Not anyone, in fact, but me
Why, I could make a Christmas tree
And there's no reason I can find
I couldn't handle Christmas time
I bet I could improve it too
And that's exactly what I'll do
Hee, hee, hee
Eureka!! This year, Christmas will be ours!
MAYOR
Patience, everyone. Jack has a special Job for each of us. Dr. Finkelstein, your Christmas assignment is ready. Dr. Finkelstein to the front of the line.
VAMPIRE
What kind of a noise is that for a baby to make?
JACK
Perhaps it can be improved?
VAMPIRES
No problem!
JACK
I knew it! Dr. thank you for coming. We need some of these.
[showing picture of Santa and sleigh]
DR. FINKELSTEIN
Hmm.. their construction should be exceedingly simple. I think.
MAYOR
How horrible our Christmas will be.
JACK
No--how jolly.
MAYOR
[switches face]
Oh, how jolly our Christmas will be. [gets pelted] What are you doing here?
LOCK

MAYOR
Jack, Jack it's Oogie's boys!
JACK
Ah, Halloween's finest trick or treaters. The job I have for you is top secret. It requires craft, cunning, mischief.
SHOCK
And we thought you didn't like us, Jack.
[giggles]
JACK
Absolutely no one is to know about it. Not a soul. Now--
[whispers to LS&B]
And one more thing -- leave that no account Oogie Boogie out of this!
BARREL
Whatever you say, Jack.
SHOCK
Of course Jack.
LOCK
Wouldn't dream of it Jack.
[all said with their fingers crossed]
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
(Performed by Paul Reubens, Catherine O'Hara, and Danny Elfman)
LOCK, SHOCK, BARREL
Kidnap Mr. Sandy Claws?
LOCK
I wanna do it
BARREL
Let's draw straws
SHOCK
Jack said we should work together
BARREL
Three of a kind
LOCK
Birds of a feather
LOCK, SHOCK, BARREL
Now and forever
Weeee
La, la, la, la, la
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Lock him up real tight!
Throw away the key and then
Turn off all the lights!
SHOCK
First, we're going to set some bait
Inside a nasty trap and wait!
When he comes a-sniffing we will
Snap the trap and close the gate!
LOCK
Wait, I've got a better plan
To catch this big red lobster man!
Let's pop him in a boiling pot
And when he's done we'll butter him up!
LOCK, SHOCK, BARREL
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Throw him in a box!
Bury him for ninety years
Then see if he talks!
SHOCK
Then Mr. Oogie Boogie Man
LOCK, SHOCK, BARREL
Can take the whole thing over then!
He'll be so pleased, I do declare!
That he will cook him rare!
Wheee!
LOCK
I say that we take a cannon
Aim it at his door and then
Knock three times, and when he answers
Sandy Claws will be no more!
SHOCK
You're so stupid! Think now
If we blow him up to smithereens
We may lose some pieces and then
LOCK, SHOCK
Jack will beat us black and green!
LOCK, SHOCK, BARREL
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Tie him in a bag!
Throw him in the ocean then
See if he is sad!
LOCK, SHOCK
Because Mister Oogie Boogie
Is the meanest guy around!
If I were on his Boogie list
I'd get out of town!
BARREL
He'll be so pleased by our success
That he'll reward us too, I bet!
LOCK, SHOCK, BARREL
Perhaps he'll make his special brew
Of snake and spider stew!
We're his little henchmen and
We take our job with pride!
We do our best to please him
And stay on his good side!
SHOCK
I wish my cohorts weren't so dumb!
BARREL
I'm not the dumb one!
LOCK
You're no fun!
SHOCK
Shut up!
LOCK
Make me!
SHOCK
I've got something, listen now
This one is real good, you'll see!
We'll send a present to his door
Upon there'll be a note to read!
Now, in the box we'll wait and hide
Until his curiosity
LOCK, SHOCK, BARREL
Entices him to look inside
And then we'll have him!
One, two, three!
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Beat him with a stick!
Lock him up for ninety years
See what makes him tick!
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Chop him into bits!
Mister Oogie Boogie is
Sure to get his kicks!
Kidnap the Sandy Claws
See what we will see!
Lock him in a cage and then
Throw away the key!
OOGIE BOOGIE
Sandy Claws.. huh? Hahaha
[city hall]
JACK
It goes something like this. [Jingle bells]
How about it? Think you can manage?
PERSON INSIDE BASS
A one, and a two, and a three, and a. . .
[Jingle in a flat key by the band]
MAYOR
Next!
JACK
Fantastic! Now why don't you all practice on that and we'll be in great shape. Sally, I need your help more than anyone's.
SALLY
You certainly do, Jack. I had the most terrible vision.
JACK
That's splendid.
SALLY
No, it was about your Christmas. There was smoke and fire.
JACK
That 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
How could it be--just follow the pattern. This part is red, the trim is white.
SALLY
It's a mistake, Jack.
JACK
Now don't be modest, who else is clever enough to make my Sandy claws outfit.
MAYOR
Next!
JACK
I have every confidence in you.
SALLY
But it seems wrong to me, very wrong.
[to Behemoth]
JACK
This device is called a nutcracker.
LOCK, SHOCK & BARREL
Jack, Jack we caught him we caught him.
JACK
Perfect! Open it up. Quickly!
[opens to reveal the Easter bunny]
JACK
That's not Sandy Claws!
SHOCK
It isn't?
BARREL
Who is it?
BEHEMOTH
Bunny!
JACK
Not Sandy Claws...take him back!
LOCK
We followed your instructions--
BARREL
We went through the door--
JACK
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!
[LS&B start fighting]
JACK
Arr!! [making scary face at LS&B]
JACK
I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, sir. Take him home first and apologize again. Be careful with Sandy Claws when you fetch him. Treat him nicely.
LOCK, SHOCK & BARREL
Got it. We'll get it right next time.
[Dr. Finkelstein's castle]
DR. FINKELSTEIN
You will be a decided improvement over that treacherous Sally.
IGOR
Master, the plans.
DR. FINKELSTEIN
Excellent, Igor.

Isn't that wonderful. It couldn't be more wonderful!
SALLY
But you're the Pumpkin King.
JACK
Not anymore. And I feel so much better now.
SALLY
Jack, I know you think something's missing. But --
[pricks Jack's finger with needle]
JACK
SALLY
Sorry
JACK
You're right, something is missing but what? I've got the beard, the coat, the boots--
LOCK, SHOCK & BARREL
Jack, Jack! This time we bagged him!
LOCK
This time we really did!
BARREL
He sure is big Jack!
SHOCK
And heavy!
SANDY CLAWS
Let me out!
JACK
Sandy Claws in person. What a pleasure to meet you. Why you have hands! You don't have claws at all.
SANDY CLAWS
Where am I?
JACK
Surprised aren't you? I knew you would be. You don't need to have another worry about Christmas this year.
SANDY CLAWS
What?
JACK
Consider this a vacation Sandy, a reward. It's your turn to take it easy.
SANDY CLAWS
But there must be some mistake!
JACK
See that he's comfortable. Just a second fellows. Of course, that's what I'm missing.
SANDY CLAWS
But--
JACK
Thanks! [took Sandy's hat]
SANDY CLAWS
You just can't... Hold on where are we going now?
JACK
Ho ho ho
SALLY
This is worse than I thought, much worse. I know...
SANDY CLAWS
Me? On vacation on Christmas eve?
BARREL
Where are we taking him?
SALLY
Where?
LOCK
To Oogie Boogie, of course. There isn't anywhere in the whole world more comfortable than that and Jack said to make him comfortable. Didn't he?
SHOCK & BARREL
Yes he did.
SANDY CLAWS
Haven't you heard of peace on earth and good will toward men?
LOCK, SHOCK & BARREL
No!
[Dr. Finkelstein's castle]
[getting fog juice]
SALLY
This'll stop Jack.
[working on new creation to replace Sally]
DR. FINKELSTEIN
What a joy to think of all we'll have in common. We'll have conversations worth having.
[Treehouse]
LOCK, SHOCK & BARREL
[laughing]
SANDY CLAWS
Don't do this. Naughty children never get any presents.
SHOCK
I think he might be too big.
LOCK
No he's not. If he can go down a chimney, he can fit down here!
[in Oogie's lair]
Oogie Boogie's Song
(Performed by Ken Page and Ed lvory)
OOGIE BOOGIE
Well, well, well!
What have we here?
Sandy Claws, huh?
Ooh! I'm really scared!
So you're the one
Everybody's talkin' about!
Ha, ha, ha!
You're jokin'! You're jokin'!
I can't believe my eyes!
You're jokin' me! You gotta be!
This can't be the right guy!
He's ancient! He's ugly!
I don't know which is worse!
I might just split a seam now
If I don't die laughin' first!
Mister Oogie Boogie says
There's trouble close at hand!
You'd better pay attention now
'Cause I'm the Boogie Man!
And if you aren't shakin'
There's something very wrong!
'Cause this may be the last time
You hear the Boogie song!
Whoa oh!
THREE SKELETONS
Whoa oh!
OOGIE BOOGIE
Whoa oh!
TWO SKELETONS
Whoa oh!
OOGIE BOOGIE
Whoa oh!
THREE BATS
Whoa oh!
TOGETHER
I'm (he's) the Oogie Boogie Man!
SANTA
Release me now or you must face
The dire consequences!
The children are expecting me
So please, come to your senses!
OOGIE BOOGIE
Ha! You're jokin'! You're jokin'!
I can't believe my ears!
Would someone shut this fella up?
I'm drownin' in my tears!
It's funny! I'm laughin'!
You really are too much!
And now, with your permission
I'm going to do my stuff!
SANTA
What are you going to do?
OOGIE BOOGIE
I'm gonna do the best I can!
Whoooah
The sound of rolling dice
To me is music in the air!
'Cause I'm a gamblin' Boogie Man
Although I don't play fair!
It's much more fun, I must confess
With lives on the line!
Not mine, of course, but yours, old boy!
Now that'd be just fine!
SANTA
Release me fast or you will have to
Answer for this heinous act!
OOGIE BOOGIE
Oh, brother, you're somethin'!
You put me in a spin!
You aren't comprehending
The position that you're in!
It's hopeless! You're finished!
You haven't got a prayer!
'Cause I'm Mister Oogie Boogie
And you ain't goin' nowhere!
[LS&B laughing]
[back to Halloween Town]
[Sally pouring fog juice into fountain]
[Jack appears from coffin and there's applause]
MAYOR
Think of us as you soar triumphantly through the sky outshining every star. Your silhouette a dark blot on the moon, you who are our pride, you who are our glory, you who have frightened billions into an early grave.
[the fog starts to get worse]
MAYOR
You who have eh, devastated the souls of the living...
JACK
Oh no! We can't take off in this! The reindeer can't see an inch in front of their noses.
SALLY
Whew!
VAMPIRE
This fog's as thick as, as...
CYCLOPS
Jelly brains
VAMPIRE
Thicker!
JACK
There go all of my hope, my precious plans, my glorious dreams.
CORPSE KID
[crying] There goes Christmas.
ZERO
[barks]
JACK
No Zero, down boy. My what a brilliant nose you have. The better to light my way! To the head of the team, Zero! We're off!
SALLY
Wait Jack, no!
[Jack is off!]
[cheers]
JACK
Ho ho ha ha ha
SALLY
Good bye Jack, my dearest Jack. Oh how I hope my premonition is wrong.
Sally's Song
(Performed by Catherine O'Hara)
I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be
What will become of my dear friend?
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may it doesn't last
And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one
[Jack playing Sandy]
JACK
Ho ho ho ho ho ho he he he
[lands loudly & wakes up little kid]
KID
Santa!
[sees Jack]
[gasps] Santa?
JACK
Merry Christmas! And what is your name?
KID
Uh uh
JACK
That's all right. I have a special present for you anyway. There you go sonny. Hohohohehehe
[goes back up chimney]
MOTHER
And what did Santa bring you honey?
[pulls out shrunken head]
[mother and father scream]
JACK
Merry Christmas!
