[Singing]
And since I am dead, I can take off my head, to recite Shakespearean quotations / No animal or man can SCREAM like I can, with the fury of my recitations!

The Nightmare Before Christmas quotes
Page 1 of 4[Singing]
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?
[Singing]
There's children throwing snowballs / instead of throwing heads / they're busy building toys / and absolutely no one's dead!
[Singing]
You know, I think this Christmas thing / Is 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!
Eureka! This year Christmas will be ours!
[Singing]
I sense there's something in the wind/ that feels like tragedy at hand./ And though I'd like to stand by him/ can't shake this feeling that I have.
[singing]
And will we ever / End up together? / No, I think not / It's never to become / For I am not the one.
[To his new creation]
You will be a decided improvement over that treacherous Sally. We'll have conversations worth having.
It's Oogie's turn to Boogie now!
No, how JOLLY!
Ohhh... [depressed] How jolly our Christmas will be...
I had the most terrible vision.
That's splendid!
No - it was about your Christmas. There was smoke, and fire...
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.
Jack, please listen to me. It's going to be a disaster!
How could it be? Just follow the pattern! This part's red, the trim is white...
It's a mistake, Jack!
Now, don't be modest. Who else is clever enough to make my Sandy Claws outfit?
Haven't you heard of peace on Earth, and goodwill toward men?
Lock, Shock, Barrel
NO!
No he's not. If he can fit down a chimney, he can fit down here.
