Home Alone Page #2

Synopsis: It is Christmas time and the McCallister family is preparing for a vacation in Paris, France. But the youngest in the family named Kevin got into a scuffle with his older brother Buzz and was sent to his room which is on the third floor of his house. Then, the next morning, while the rest of the family was in a rush to make it to the airport on time, they completely forgot about Kevin who now has the house all to himself. Being home alone was fun for Kevin, having a pizza all to himself, jumping on his parents' bed, and making a mess. Then, Kevin discovers about two burglars, Harry and Marv, about to rob his house on Christmas Eve. Kevin acts quickly by wiring his own house with makeshift booby traps to stop the burglars and to bring them to justice.

Did anyone order me a plain cheese?

Yeah. But if you want any...

...somebody's gonna have to barf it up

because it's gone.

Fuller! Go easy on the Pepsi.

Kev! Kev, get a plate.

- Passports!

- Watch it!

No, no. Get these passports

out of here.

Are you okay, honey? Come here.

Are you all right?

What is the matter with you?

He started it!

He ate my pizza on purpose.

He knows I hate sausage and olives...

Look what you did, you little jerk!

Get upstairs now.

Why?

You're such a disease.

- Shut up!

- Kevin, upstairs!

- Say good night, Kevin.

- "Good night, Kevin."

Why do I get treated like scum?

I'm sorry. This house is just crazy.

We've got all these extra kids

running around.

My brother's in from Ohio.

It's nuts.

How come you didn't bring

more cheese pizzas?

Nice tip. Thanks.

Having a reunion?

My husband's brother transferred

to Paris. His kids are still here.

He missed the family,

so he invited us to Paris...

...so we'll be together.

You're taking a trip to Paris?

Yes, we leave tomorrow morning.

Excellent. Excellent.

If you'll excuse me, this one's

a little out of sorts.

Don't worry about me.

I spoke to your husband.

And don't worry about your home.

It's in good hands.

There are 15 people, and only you

have to make trouble.

I'm getting dumped on.

You're the only one acting up.

Now get upstairs.

I am upstairs, dummy!

The third floor?

- Go.

- It's scary up there.

Fuller'll be up in a little while.

I don't want to sleep with Fuller.

He wets the bed.

He'll pee all over me. I know it.

We'll put him somewhere else.

I'm sorry.

It's too late. Get upstairs.

Everyone in this family hates me!

Then ask Santa for a new family.

I don't want a new family. I don't

want any family. Families suck!

Stay up there. I don't want

to see you again tonight.

I don't want to see you

for the rest of my life.

I don't want to see

anybody else either.

I hope you don't mean that.

You'd feel pretty sad if you woke up

and didn't have a family.

No, I wouldn't.

Then say it again.

Maybe it'll happen.

I hope I never see any

of you jerks again!

I wish they would all just disappear.

- Where are they?

- I don't know. She said 8 sharp.

Peter!

We slept in!

Hi, I'm Mitch Murphy.

I live across the street.

You guys going out of town?

We're going to Florida.

Well, first we're going to Missouri

to pick up my grandma.

You know the McCallisters

are going to France?

Do you know if it's cold?

- Do these vans get good mileage?

- Kid, I don't know. Hit the road!

Do a head count.

Get everyone in the vans.

Where are the passports?

I put them in the microwave to dry.

How fast does this go?

Does it have automatic transmission?
