Home Alone Page #5

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.

Hey, I'm not afraid anymore!

I said, I'm not afraid anymore!

Do you hear me?

I'm not afraid anymore.

Village police department.

I'm calling from Paris.

I have a son who's home alone.

I'd like somebody to go there. Tell

him that we're coming home to get him.

Okay, let me connect you

with Family Crisis Intervention.

Hold on.

Larry, can you pick up?

There's some hyper lady on hold.

- What line, Rose?

- Two.

Family Crisis Intervention,

Sergeant Balzac.

I'm calling from Paris.

I have a son who's home alone.

Has the child been involved in

violence with a drunk family member?

No!

Has he been involved

in a household accident?

I don't know. I hope not.

Has the child ingested any poison

or is an object lodged in his throat?

No, he's home alone! I'd like

somebody to go over to the house...

...and see if he's all right.

You want us to go to your house,

just to check on him.

Yes!

Let me connect you to the police.

They just transferred me.

- Rose!

- Yeah.

- Hyper.

- Hang on.

- Hold on, please.

- No, please don't hang up. Please!

Any luck?

- I couldn't get anybody.

- Leslie?

Nothing but a bunch

of answering machines.

Somebody pick up. Pick up!

Oh, hi, ma'am. It's you again.

Look, I'm calling from Paris.

I have a son who's home alone, and l...

We'll send a policeman over

to your house to check on your son.

There's nobody home.

The house looks secure.

Tell them to count their kids again.

You can't bump somebody or ask or...?

There's no way I can do that.

Isn't there a way

if you ask somebody?

If you said it's an emergency...

I cannot ask them.

She's sending a policeman

over to the house.

Well, that's a relief.

Everything here is booked.

Nothing to Chicago?

There's nothing to Chicago,

New York, Nashville.

- What about a private plane?

- Sorry. We don't do that.

The only thing is a booking

for us on Friday morning.

Friday morn... That's two days away.

The kids are exhausted and so are you.

There's nothing we can do here.

I say we go over to Rob's, and that

way we can call the police again.

I'm not leaving here unless

it's on an airplane.

Madame, we are doing

everything we can.

If you want to stay at the airport,

maybe we can get you on standby.

It is a possibility

that a seat will open up.

- Is that okay?

- Yes. I'll wait.

I'll miss you, honey.

Don't you get lost.

Goodbye.

I took a shower, washing every

body part with actual soap.

Including all my major crevices...

...between my toes

and in my belly button...

...which I never did before

but enjoyed.

I washed my hair with adult formula

shampoo and used creme rinse.

I can't find my toothbrush,

so I'll pick one up today.
