"To Oogie Boogie, of course." "There isn't anywhere in the whole world more comfortable than that." " And Jack said to make him comfortable, didn't he?" " Yes, he did." "Haven't you heard of peace on earth and goodwill toward men?" "No!" "Ah!" "This'll stop Jack." "What a joy to think of all we'll have in common." "We'll have conversations worth having!"
