Jack

And one more thing... leave that no-account Oogie Boogie out of this!

Barrel

Whatever you say, Jack.

Of course, Jack.

Wouldn't dream of it, Jack.
[They cross their fingers behind their backs.]

[singing]

I wish my cohorts weren't so dumb.

Barrel
[singing]

I'm not the dumb one.

[singing]

You're no fun!

[singing]

Shut up!

[singing]

Make me!

Jack

The job I have for you is top secret, it requires craft, cunning, mischief...

And we thought you didn't like us, Jack. [she, Lock and Barrel giggle at this]

Jack

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.

Of course, Jack.

Wouldn't dream of it, Jack.
[The trio giggle again, and reveal that they have all crossed their fingers]

Jack
[shows a nutcracker to Behemoth]

This device is called a nutcracker.

Lock, Shock and Barrel

Jack! Jack! We got him! We got him! [they appear with a full sack]

Jack

Perfect! Open it up, quickly! [they open the sack and the Easter Bunny leaps out] That's not Sandy Claws.

It isn't?

Barrel

Who is it?

Behemoth
[The Easter Bunny hops around the room and sniffs curiously at Behemoth] [freaking out]

A BUNNY!

Jack
[The Easter Bunny is terrified, and leaps back into the bag he was kidnapped in]

NOT Sandy Claws! Take him back!

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! [holds up a Christmas tree shaped cookie]

[Barrel and Shock look at Lock who looks awkward for a second] [strangling Lock]

I told you!

Jack
[The trio fight in anger; an annoyed Jack roars, and makes a monstrous face, which instantly stops Lock, Shock and Barrel's fight, freezing them on the spot] [to the Easter Bunny who still scared and in the bag]

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!

Got it!

We'll get it right...

Lock, Shock and Barrel

...Next time!
