Barrel Quotes in The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

Santa: Haven't you heard of peace on earth and goodwill toward men?

Lock, Shock, Barrel: NO!

Jack Skellington: And one more thing...

[stops Barrel from leaving]

Jack Skellington: 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.

[a view from behind reveals their fingers are crossed]

Lock, Barrel, Shock: Jack! Jack! We caught him.

[catching themselves]

Lock, Barrel, Shock: We *got* him.

Jack Skellington: Perfect! Open it up. Quickly!

[opens it up to reveal the Easter bunny]

Jack Skellington: 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 Behemouth, 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]

Jack Skellington: [to the Easter bunny] I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, sir.

[to the henchmen]

Jack Skellington: 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.

Santa: [from in the bag] Me on vacation? On Christmas Eve?

Barrel: Where are we taking him?

Shock: Where?

Lock: To Oogie Boogie, of course. There's no where in the whole world more comfortable than *that*. And Jack *said* to make him comfortable, didn't he?

Barrel, Shock: Yes, he did.

Sally: [examining Jack in his newly-finished Santa suit] You don't look like yourself, Jack. Not at all.

Jack Skellington: Isn't that wonderful? It couldn't be more wonderful!

Sally: [holds up the clipboard sketch of him] But you're the Pumpkin King!

Jack Skellington: Not anymore!

[breks it over his knee]

Jack Skellington: I feel SO much better now!

Sally: [pulling a loose thread from his cuff] Jack, I know you think something's missing, but -

[accidentally catches his finger]

Jack Skellington: [lightly] Ow.

Sally: Sorry.

Jack Skellington: You're right. Something *is* missing. But what? I've got the beard... the coat... the boots... the belt...

Jack Skellington, Lock, Barrel: [come in] Jack! Jack! This time we found him!

Jack Skellington: This time we really did.

Lock: He sure is big, Jack!

Barrel: And heavy!

Santa: [bursting out the bag] Let me out!

[the Halloween citizens gasp in awe]

Jack Skellington: Sandy Claws - in person. What a pleasure to meet you.

[prepares to shake but then looks down when their HANDS touch]

Jack Skellington: Wh - ! Why, you have *hands*! You don't have claws at all!

Jack Skellington: [dazed] Where am I?

Jack Skellington: Consider this a vacation, Santy. A reward. It's your turn to take it easy.

Santa: B-But there must be some mistake!

Jack Skellington: See that he's comfortable... Just a second, fellas! Of *course*! *That's* what I'm missing!

[takes Santa's hat]

Santa: B-But...

Jack Skellington: Thanks.

Santa: Hang on - you just can't -

[has the bag thrown over him again]

Santa: Hold on! Where are we going now?

[the henchmen leave with him]

Jack Skellington: Ho, ho, *ho*! No...

[monotone]

Jack Skellington: Ho, ho, ho. Ho...

Sally: This is worse than I thought. Much worse. I know!

[leaves to get fog juice]

Lock, Shock, Barrel: [singing] Kidnap the Sandy Claws, / beat him with a stick, / lock him up for ninety years, / see what makes him tick.

Shock: [singing] 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!

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!

Mayor: The King of Halloween has been blown to smithereens! Skeleton Jack is now a pile of dust!

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!
