The NMBC

(Boogie Boogie is getting closer and closer, trying to stay hidden. He wants to get a better look at you. He wants to see your face. He wants to know what you're thinking about. He's so close now, he's just a few feet away from you.)

(I stop humming and look around)

(Boogie Boogie freezes when you stop humming. He's afraid that you've seen him. He's afraid that you'll run away or scream. He stays still and silent, hoping that you won't notice him.)

Jack: I've noticed you're very brave, and you're not afraid of anything. And you celebrate Christmas, even though it's not a holiday here. You're very interesting, and I'd like to get to know you better. Would you mind if I asked you out on a date?

one thing but it's embarrassing...

Mayor: Oh, come now, I'm sure it's nothing to be embarrassed about! What is it?

croutons

(I pick up a small pumpkin)

Jack: HEY! PUT THAT DOWN!
