CURLY: And I can build it! SALLY: Just wonderin' Sheriff … I mean, we always had good Christmas celebrations afore. But now that other people are in town, we didn't need to change things. Cain't we just be ourselves? SHERIFF: She's got a point, fellers! CURLY: Sally, I know you're the Chairman of the Incarnation Christmas Committee, but let me explain. These people are used to bigger things than we got! We don't want to seem small and get laughed at.
