(the sun rises as a skeletal rooster crows)

* '''Vampire Brothers:''' Something's up with Jack Something's up with Jack Don't know if we're ever going to get him back
* Werewolf: He's all alone up there Locked away inside
* Corpse Mom: Never says a word
* Corpse Kid: Hope he hasn't died
* '''CITIZENS OF HALLOWEEN:''' Something's up with Jack Something's up with Jack

(inside his house, Jack paces while Pooh and Pals sit there)

* '''JACK:''' (singing) Christmas time is buzzing in my skull Will it let me be? I cannot tell There's so many things I cannot grasp When I think I've got it, and then at last Through my bony fingers it does slip Like a snowflake in a fiery grip Something here I'm not quite getting Though I try, I keep forgetting Like a memory long since past Here in an instant, gone in a flash What does it mean? What does it mean? In these little bric-a-brac A secret's waiting to be cracked These dolls and toys confuse me so Confound it all, I love it though Simple objects, nothing more But something's hidden through a door Though I do not have the key Something's there I cannot see What does it mean? What does it mean? What does it mean? Hmm... 
* Winnie the Pooh: (wakes up as doll lands on him)
* '''JACK:''' (singing) I've read these Christmas books so many times I know the stories and I know the rhymes I know the Christmas carols all by heart My skull's so full, it's tearing me apart As often as I've read them, something's wrong So hard to put my bony finger on Or perhaps it's really not as deep As I've been led to think Am I trying much too hard? Of course! I've been too close to see The answer's right in front of me Right in front of me It's simple really, very clear Like music drifting in the air Invisible, but everywhere Just because I cannot see it Doesn't mean I can't believe it You know, I think this Christmas thing It's 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 Hee,hee,hee (opens the window) Eureka!!  This year, Christmas will be ours!
* '''CITIZENS OF HALLOWEEN:''' (cheering)

(at City Hall)

* '''MAYOR:''' Patience, everyone.  Jack has a special Job for each of us. Dr. Finkelstein, your Christmas assignment is ready. 

(Sally hides as Dr. Finkelstein arrives)

* '''MAYOR:''' Dr. Finkelstein to the front of the line.

(inside the Vampire Brothers hold a baby doll that coos)

* '''VAMPIRE:''' What kind of a noise is that for a baby to make?
* '''JACK:''' Perhaps it can be improved?
* '''VAMPIRES:''' No problem!
* '''JACK:''' I knew it! (Dr. Finkelstein arrives) Doctor. thank you for coming. We need some of these. [showing picture of Santa and sleigh, points to reindeer]
* '''DR. FINKELSTEIN:''' Hmm.. their construction should be exceedingly simple. I think.
* '''MAYOR:''' How horrible our Christmas will be.
* '''JACK:''' No--how jolly.
* '''MAYOR:''' [switches face] Oh, how jolly our Xmas will be. [gets pelted]  What are you doing here?
* '''LOCK:''' Jack sent for us.
* '''SHOCK:''' Specifically. 
* '''BARREL:''' By name.
* '''LOCK:''' (to Pooh and Pals) Hello there.

* '''BARREL:''' The Chosen Ones.
* Tigger: Yeah. Who are you?
* '''LOCK:''' Lock.
* '''SHOCK:''' Shock.
* '''BARREL:''' Barrel. (lick lollipop) 
* '''MAYOR:''' Jack, Jack! It's Oogie's boys!
* '''JACK:''' Ah, Halloween's finest trick or treaters. The job I have for you is top secret. It requires craft, cunning, mischief.
* '''SHOCK:''' And we thought you didn't like us, Jack. [giggles with the others]
* '''JACK:''' Absolutely no one is to know about it. Not a soul. (to Pooh and Pals) Excuse us, my friends.
* Rabbit: Oh. Of course.
* '''JACK:''' (to Pooh and Pals)  Thanks. Now-- [whispers to LS&B] And one more thing -- leave that no account Oogie Boogie out of this! And don't tell him about my friends!
* '''BARREL:''' Whatever you say, Jack.
* '''SHOCK:''' Of course Jack.
* '''LOCK:''' Wouldn't dream of it Jack.

[all said with their fingers crossed]

* Winnie the Pooh: Excuse me, Jack. But, who is Oogie Boogie?
* Jack: Have I got a story to tell you, my friends.
