* Jack playing fetch with Zero, despite protesting moments ago that he didn't feel like it. He even uses one of his rib bones as the "stick".
** Their entire relationship is this. You can tell a lot about someone by their relationship with their pets. Jack dotes upon Zero and Zero is devoted to his master.

** One unique aspect of the song is that, while Jack's attempt backfired horribly, he doesn't wallow in his pity party for long (although he had every right to). What happens instead is what launches the song from TearJerker to a combination of Heartwarming and Awesome. Jack (who started out the film struggling with his boredom about doing the same thing over and over again every Halloween) admits that he did his best, found the joy he had been missing for a very long time and is excited for next Halloween. The audience's faith in Jack finding purpose and meaning is rewarded as he screams "I AM the Pumpkin King!"
