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] 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.”
