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.
[They cross their fingers behind their backs.]
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 think he might be too big!
Lock
No he's not. If he can fit down a chimney, he can fit down here.
The job I have for you is top secret, it requires craft, cunning, mischief...
Shock
And we thought you didn't like us, Jack. [she, Lock and Barrel giggle at this]
Absolutely no one is to know about it, not a soul! Now, and one more thing, leave that no-account Oogie Boogie OUT OF THIS! [whispers for a time]
Barrel
Whatever you say, Jack.
Shock
Of course, Jack.
Lock
Wouldn't dream of it, Jack.
[The trio giggle again, and reveal that they have all crossed their fingers]
This device is called a nutcracker.
Jack! Jack! We got him! We got him! [they appear with a full sack]
Perfect! Open it up, quickly! [they open the sack and the Easter Bunny leaps out] That's not Sandy Claws.
Shock
It isn't?
Barrel
Who is it?
A BUNNY!
NOT Sandy Claws! Take him back!
Lock
We followed your instructions.
Barrel
We went through the door.
Which door?! There's more than one! Sandy Claws is behind the door shaped like THIS! [holds up a Christmas tree shaped cookie]
Shock
I told you!
I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, sir. [to Lock, Shock and Barrel] Take him home first, and apologize again! Be careful with Sandy Claws when you fetch him. Treat him nicely!
Lock
Got it!
Shock
We'll get it right...
...Next time!
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!
