- [ People Chattering ]
- [ Phone Ringing ]
- [ Man ] Answer the phone.
- [ Woman ] Where's my suitcase?
[ Girl ] I'm going downstairs.
Who stole my hair dryer?
- Miss. Young lady. Excuse me. Girls.
- [ Chattering ]
- Hey, hey, little boy.
- [ Shouting ]
- Excuse me, girls. Girls.
- Take the witches!
Hey. Hey, big fella.
Excuse me.
- Come help me make up
these beds in the living room!
- Excuse me. Ma'am!
- Hi. Hey, son! Son!
- Who stole my book bag?
Big fella! Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
Little guy. Little guy!
Pete's brother and his family
are here. Oh, it's crazy.
- [ Woman ] Trish is going to Montreal.
- Montreal?
- Uh-huh.
- That's right. Her family's there.
- And we're off.
- When do you leave?
- Tomorrow.
- You're not ready, are you?
Mom! Uncle Frank won't let me
watch the movie, but the big kids can.
- Why can't I?
- Kevin, I'm on the phone.
When do you come back?
Not till then?
It's not even rated "R."
He's just being a jerk.
Kevin, if Uncle Frank says no...
then it must be really bad.
No, we're not bringing the dog.
We're putting him--
Hey, hey, hey! Get off.
Kevin, out of the room.
Hang up the phone and make me,
why don't ya?
- Oh, this kid.
- Kate, did you by any chance
pick up a voltage adaptor thing?
I didn't have time to do that.
How am I supposed
to shave in France?
- Grow a goatee.
- Dad, nobody'll let me do anything.
I've got something
for you to do.
Pick up those Micro Machines
that are all over in there.
Aunt Leslie stepped on one
and almost broke her neck.
- He was in the garage again
playing with the glue gun.
- Didn't we talk about that?
Did I burn down the joint?
I don't think so.
I was making ornaments
out of fishhooks.
My new fishhooks?
I can't make ornaments out of the old ones,
with dry worm guts stuck on 'em.
- Peter.
- Come on, Kevin. Out.
Peter, Kate, do you guys
have a voltage adaptor?
- Here! Here's a voltage adaptor.
- Oh, you're getting heavy.
Go pack your suitcase.
Pack my suitcase?
- Do you know where the shampoo is, Fuller?
- I don't live here.
A house with this many people,
there's no shampoo?
- Are your parents home?
- Yeah, but they don't live here.
- Tracy, did you order the pizza?
- Buzz did.
- Excuse me, miss. Are your parents here?
- My parents live in Paris. Sorry.
- Hi!
- Hi!
- Are your parents home?
- Yeah.
- Do they live here?
- No.
No. Why should they? All kids, no parents.
Probably a fancy orphanage.
I don't know how to pack a suitcase.
I've never done this once in my whole life.
- Tough.
- That's what Megan said.
- What did I say?
- You told Kevin, "tough."
The dope was whining about a suitcase.
What am I supposed to do?
Shake his hand and say,
"Congratulations, you're an idiot"?
- I'm not an idiot!
- Oh, really? You're completely helpless!
- Everyone has to do everything for you.
- She's right, Kev.
Excuse me, puke-breath. I'm a lot smaller
than you. I don't know how to pack a suitcase.
- I hope you didn't just pack crap,Jeff.
- Shut up, Linnie.
Do you know what
I should pack?
Buzz told you, cheek-face.
Toilet paper and water.
Listen, Kev, what are
you so worried about?
You know mom's gonna pack
your stuff anyway.
You're what the French call
les incompetents.
- What?
- Bombs away!
[ Banging Loudly ]
P.S. You have to sleep
on the hide-a-bed with Fuller.
If he has something to drink,
he's gonna wet the bed.
This house is so full of people,
it makes me sick!
When I grow up and get married,
I'm livin' alone!
Did you hear me?
I'm livin' alone!
I'm livin'alone!
Who's gonna feed your spider
while we're gone?
He just ate a whole load of mice guts.
He should be good for a couple weeks.
Is it true that French babes
don't shave their pits?
Some don't.
But they got nude beaches.
Not in the winter.
## [ Tape Playing, Rewinding ]
- Buzz?
- Don't you know how to knock, phlegm-***?
Can I sleep in your room?
I don't want to sleep with Fuller.
If he has something to drink,
he'll wet the bed.
I wouldn't let you sleep in my room
if you were growing on my ***.
[ Object Clattering ]
Check it out.
Old man Marley.
Who is he?
[ Buzz ] You ever heard
of the South Bend Shovel Slayer!
- [ Boy ] No.
- That's him.
Back in '58, he murdered his whole family
and half the people on his block...
with a snow shovel.
Been hiding out
in this neighborhood ever since.
Well, if he's the Shovel Slayer,
how come the cops don't arrest him?
Not enough evidence to convict.
They never found the bodies.
But everyone around here
knows he did it.
Now it'll just be a matter of time
before he does it again.
What's he doin' now?
He walks up and down
the streets every night...
salting the sidewalks.
Maybe he's just trying to be nice.
No way.
See that garbage can full of salt?
That's where he keeps his victims.
The salt turns the bodies...
into mummies.
- Wow.
- Mummies.
- [ Gasps ]
- Look out!
[ Tires Screeching ]
[ Grunting ]
[ Policeman ]
How you kids doin', huh? Good?
Lot of action
around here today, huh?
Goin' on vacation?
Where you goin'?
Do you hear me or what?
Goin'on a trip?
Where you goin', kid?
- [ Knocking ]
- [ Grunts ]
Okay, that's 122.50.
Not for me, kid.
I don't live here.
- Oh. You just around for the holidays?
- I guess you could say that.
- Hey, pizza's here!
- Here you go. That's 122.50.
It's my brother's house.
He'll take care of it.
- [ Chattering ]
- Hey, listen, uh--
- Hi.
- Hi. Are you Mr. McCallister?
- Yeah.
- The Mr. McCallister who lives here?
- Yes.
- Oh, good, 'cause somebody owes me 122.50.
- I'd like a word with you, sir.
- Am I under arrest or something?
No, no. It's Christmastime. There's always
a lot of burglaries around the holidays.
We're checking the neighborhood to see
if everyone's taking the proper precautions.
Oh, yeah. Well, we have automatic timers
for our lights, locks for our doors.
That's about as well
as anybody can do these days.
- You get some eggnog?
- Come on, Dad.
- Let's eat.
- Come on.
- Eggnog? Listen, are you gonna be leaving, uh--
- Pizza! Pizza!
- Pizza!
- [ Sighs ]
[ Woman ] Grab yourself a napkin.
You're gonna have to pour your own drinks.
Does Santa Claus have
to go through customs?
- What time do we have to go to bed?
- Early.
We're leaving the house
at 8:00 a.m. on the button.
I hope you're all drinking milk.
I want to get rid of it. Hey! Don't you dare.
- Honey, the pizza boy needs $122.50, plus a tip.
- For pizza?
[ Frank ]
Ten pizzas times 12 bucks.
- Frank, you've got money. Come on.
- Traveler's checks.
Forget it, Frank.
We have cash.
[ Peter ] You've probably got
traveler's checks that don't work in France.
Did anyone order me
a plain cheese?
Oh, yeah, we did.
But if you want any...
somebody's gonna have
to barf it all up, 'cause it's gone.
[ Leslie ]
Fuller! Go easy on the Pepsi.
Kev! Kevin, get a plate.
[ Grunting ]
[ Imitates Retching ]
[ Screaming ]
- [ All Shouting ]
- Wow!
The passports! Watch it!
- [ Shouting Continues ]
- [ Frank ] Help me out here!
Let's get these passports
out of here.
- [ Kate ] Kevin, get off ofhim!
- [ Kevin ] You moron!
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 and--
Look what you did,
you little jerk!
- Kevin, get upstairs right now.
- Why?
- Kevin, you're such a disease.
- Shut up.
- Kevin, upstairs!
- Say good night, Kevin.
- Good night, Kevin.
- [ Megan ] Now what's for dinner?
Why do I always get treated
like ***?
Oh, I'm sorry.
This house is just crazy.
We've got all these
extra kids running around.
My brother-in-law drove in
from Ohio today. It's just nuts.
How come you didn't
bring more cheese pizzas?
Nice tip. Thanks a lot.
- Thanks.
- Having a reunion or something?
My husband's brother transferred
to Paris last summer...
and his kids are still going to school here,
and I guess he missed the whole family.
He's giving us this trip to Paris
so we can be together.
- You're taking a trip to Paris?
- Yes, we hope to leave tomorrow morning.
Excellent. Excellent.
If you'll excuse me, this one's
out of sorts. I'll be right back.
Don't worry about me.
I spoke to your husband already.
And don't worry
about your home.
It's in good hands.
There are 15 people in this house.
You're the only one that has to make trouble.
- I'm the only one 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.
- Don't be silly. Fuller will be up in a little while.
I don't want to sleep with Fuller.
You know about him. He wets the bed.
He'll pee all over me.
I know it.
Fine. We'll put him
somewhere else.
I'm sorry.
It's too late.
Get upstairs.
Everyone in this family hates me.
Then maybe you should 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 for the rest of the night.
I don't want to see you
for the rest of my life.
And 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
tomorrow morning and you 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.
[ Thinking ]
I wish they would all just disappear.
[ Window Shutters Rattling ]
[ Beeps ]
[ Knocking ]
- Where are they?
- I don't know. She said 8:00 sharp.
[ Doorbell Ringing ]
Peter!
[ Both ]
We slept in!
[ All Chattering ]
Hi. I'm Mitch Murphy.
I live across the street.
You guys going out of town?
We're going to Orlando, Florida.
Well, actually, first we're going to Missouri
to pick up my grandma.
Do you know the McCallisters
are going to France?
Do you know if it's cold there?
Do these vans get good gas mileage?
Gee, kid, I don't know.
Hit the road.
[ Chattering Continues ]
Heather, do a head count.
Make sure everyone's in the vans.
Where are the passports
and tickets?
I put 'em in the microwave
to dry 'em off.
How fast does this thing go?
Does it have automatic transmission?
Does it have four-wheel drive?
Look, I told you before, kid,
don't bother me. Now beat it.
[ Chattering Continues ]
[ Heather]
Come on. Hurry up.
- Line up in front off the van.
- Did you take my batteries?
- [ Heather ] Line up and shut up!
- Wow!
Shut up.
I gotta take a head count.
- One, two, three, four, five--
- Eleven, 92, 12.
Buzz, don't be a moron.
Six, seven, eight...
nine, 10, 11.
Okay. Half in this van, half in this van.
Come on. Let's go.
- [ Chattering ]
- Have a good trip.
Bring me back something French.
There's no way on earth we're gonna
make this plane. It leaves in 45 minutes.
- Think positive, Frank.
- You be positive. I'll be realistic.
- Ma'am? Ma'am?
- What?
I wanted to let you know
your power's fixed.
Phone lines are a mess. Gonna take
Ma Bell a couple of days to patch 'em up.
- Especially around the holidays.
- Okay, thanks.
- Heather! Did you count heads?
- Eleven, including me.
Five boys, six girls, four parents,
two drivers and a partridge in a pear tree.
##[ Rock And Roll ]

##[ Singing Continues ]
This way!
- Hold the plane!
- [ Kate ] Did we miss the flight?
- No, you just made it.
- [ All Cheering ]
- Single seats only in coach. Take whatever's free.
- Thank you.
- I get a window seat!
- [ Chattering ]
[ Peter ]
You kids are in coach. We're up here.
Here are your seats. Five "A"and "B"
and four "A"and "B. "
- I'll take your coats.
- Thank you.
Fasten your seat belts, please.
- Champagne, please. It's free, isn't it?
- Oh, yes.
- We made it.
- Do you believe it?
Hope we didn't forget anything.
What are you doing
out of costume?
Now get back and get dressed.
I'm terribly sorry.
I thought you were our Santa Claus.
[ Man ]
Your Santa Claus is intoxicated.
- [ Woman ] Oh, no.
- Yes.
It's disgraceful!
How can you allow a man--
[ Man #2 Singing Drunkenly ]
[ Woman ] What do you mean by drinking?
You know it's not allowed!
[ Man #2 ] But it's cold.
A man's gotta do something to keep warm.
[ Man ]
I ought to take this cane and--
[ Woman ]
Julia, get some black coffee and plenty of it.
[ Man #2 ]
Black with a little cream.
- [ Shuts TV Off]
- Mom?
Thank you.
- That's real crystal. It's real.
- Yeah. So?
- Put 'em in your purse. Put 'em! Put 'em!
- I can't do that.
Put them in your purse!
Uh, yeah, yeah, fill it up, fill it up.
Fill it up, please.
Thank you.
Don't you feel like a heel flying first class
with the kids back in coach?
No, the kids are fine.
Only flying I ever did as a kid was in the family
station wagon, and it wasn't to France.
We used to have to go over
to Aunt Laura and Uncle Arthur's house.
- The kids are okay.
They're having the time of their lives.
- Yeah.
Hello?
Mom?
Dad?
Mom? Dad?
Where are you guys?
Buzz?
Buzz?
Buzz?
Megan?
Hello? Hello?
Rod? Uncle Frank?
Uncle Frank, is this a joke?
Megan? Linnie?
Is this a joke?
[ Growling ]
[ Gasps ]
It's only my imagination.
Only my imagination.
The cars are still here.
They didn't go to the airport.
I made my family disappear.
Kevin, you're completely helpless.
You know, Kevin, you're what
the French call les incompetents.
Kevin, I'm going to feed you
to my tarantula.
Kevin, you are such a disease.
There are 15 people
in this house...
and you're the only one
who has to make trouble.
Look what you did,
you little jerk.
I made my family disappear.
##[ Rock And Roll ]
I'm free! Free! Free!
[ Shouting ]
[ Screaming ]
Wow!
No clothes on anybody.
Sickening!
Cool! Firecrackers!
I'll save these for later.
Buzz, I'm going through
all your private stuff!
You better come out
and pound me!
Buzz, your girlfriend!
Woof!
[ Glass Shatters ]
Who is it?
It's me, Snakes.
I got the stuff.
Leave it on the doorstep
and get the hell out of here.
[ Snakes ] All right,Johnny.
But what about my money?
- [Johnny ] What money?
- Acey said you had some dough for me.
Is that a fact?
How much do I owe you?
Acey said 10%.
Too bad Acey ain't
in charge no more.
- [ Snakes ] What do you mean?
- Guys, I'm eating junk and watching rubbish!
You better come out
and stop me!
[Johnny ]
He'll call you when he gets out.
Hey.
I tell you what I'm gonna
give you, Snakes.
I'm gonna give you
to the count of 10...
to get your ugly,yellow...
no-good keister off my property...
before I pump your guts
full of lead.
All right,Johnny, I'm sorry.
I'm goin'.
One, two, ten!
[Johnny Laughing ]
[ Gunfire Resumes ]
Keep the change,
ya filthy animal.
Mom!
What's the matter?
Honey?
- I have a terrible feeling.
- About what?
That we didn't do something.
Oh, no, you feel that way
because we left in such a hurry.
- We took care of everything. Believe me, we did.
- Did I turn off the coffee?
No. I did.
Did you lock up?
Yeah.
Did you close the garage?
That's it. I forgot to close
the garage. That's it.
No, that's not it.
What else could we be forgetting?
Kevin!
Whoa!
Whoa! Whoa!
[ Grunts ]
The captain's doing all he can.
Your phones are still out of order.
We'll call as soon as we land, Kate.
I'm sure everything's okay.
It's horrible. Horrible.
Just horrible.
How could we do this?
We forgot him.
We didn't forget him.
We just... miscounted.
What kind of mother am I?
If it makes you feel any better,
I forgot my reading glasses.
[ Policeman ]
Five families gone on one block alone.
- They all told me from their own mouths.
- [ Man Chuckles ]
It's almost too easy.
Check it out. All the houses
with nobody home...
have automatic timers
on their lights.
But I got it all figured out.
Watch this.
Number 664 will be going on...
right about... now.
- Oh.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Number 672...
right... now.
-[ Man Chuckles ]
- Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
671 ... now.
And that's the one, Marvin.
That's the silver tuna.
Oh, it's very "G."
Very "G," huh?
It's loaded.
It's got lots of topflight goods.
- Stereos, VCR's.
- Toys.
Probably lookin' at some very fine jewelry.
Possible cash hoard.
Odd marketable securities.
Who knows?
It's a gem.
Grab your crowbar.
Crowbars up.
## [ Man Singing ]
- [ Van Doors Close ]
- [ Gasps ]
[ Gasps ]
- Which way?
- We'll go around back
to the basement. Follow me.
I thought you said
they were gone.
- They were supposed to leave this morning.
- Let's get out of here.

[ Woman Speaking French
Over P.A.]
- We have to use the phone, please.
- [ Speaking French ]
It's an emergency.
We really have to make a call.
- Please! Our brother's home alone.
- [ French ]
- Give us the phone!
- Thank you. I'm sorry. Thank you.
Peter, I'm gonna call the police.
Why don't you book us a flight home.
Get some change out of here.
Call everybody you know. Oh. Leslie.
Here's my address book. You and Frank
call everybody who lives on our street.
- Maybe somebody can help us.
- [ Man Speaking French ]
Hello? Hello? Hello?
She'll have to call you back.
This is ridiculous. Only a wimp
would be hiding under a bed.
And I can't be a wimp.
I'm the man of the house.
Hey! I'm not afraid anymore!
I said,
I'm not afraid anymore!
Do you hear me?
I'm not afraid anymore!

[ Phone Ringing ]
Village Police Department.
Hi. Look, I'm calling from Paris.
I have a son who's home alone.
Our phones are out of order,
so I'd like somebody to go to our house...
and tell him we're
coming home to get him.
Let me connect you with
Family Crisis Intervention.
- It's not a family crisis.
- Hold on.
Larry, can you pick up? There's some lady
on hold, sounds kind of hyper.
- What line, Rose?
- Uh, two.
Family Crisis Intervention.
Sergeant Balzak.
I am calling from Paris.
I have a son who's home alone.
Has the child been involved
in a violent altercation...
with a drunken and/or mentally ill
member of his immediate family?
- No.
- Has he been involved in a household accident?
I don't know. I don't--
I hope not.
Has the child ingested any poison...
and/or any other object that has become
lodged in his throat?
No, he's just home alone! I would like
somebody to go over to the house...
and see that he's all right,
just to check on him.
You want us to go to your house
just to check on him?
- Yes!
- Let me connect you
with the police department.
- They just transferred me to you.
- Rose?
- Yeah?
- Hyper on two. Hold on, please.
No, please don't hang up.
Please, don't--Any luck?
No. We couldn't get anybody.
- [ Kate ] Leslie?
- I'm sorry, Kate. Nothing but
a bunch of answering machines.
Somebody pick up.
Pick up!
- Hi, ma'am. It's you again.
- Yeah, hi. Look.
I'm calling from Paris.
I have a son who's home alone, and I--
Okay, okay. We'll send a policeman
over to your house to check on your son.
[ Knocking ]
- [ Knocking ]
- [ Gasps ]
[ Knocking ]
There's no one home.
The house looks secure.
- Tell 'em to count their kids again.
- [ Man ] Ten-four.
I can't believe you can't
bump somebody or ask somebody--
I'm sorry, but there's
no way I can do that.
Isn't there a way
if you ask somebody?
- If you explained this is an emergency.
- I wish I could--
They're sending a policeman over
to the house to check on Kevin.
- That's a relief. Everything here is booked.
- There's nothing to Chicago?
There's nothing to Chicago, New York,
Nashville. You name it. Everything's gone.
- What about a private plane?
- No, I'm sorry. We don't do that.
The only thing they have is a booking
for all of us on Friday morning.
Friday morning?
That's two days away.
Look, honey, the kids are exhausted.
You are exhausted.
There's absolutely nothing more
we can do in this airport.
I say we go to Rob's, we can call the police,
and they can get back to us.
Kevin is home all by himself.
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 a standby.
It is a possibility
that a seat will open up.
- Is that okay?
- Yes. I'll wait.
##[ Man Singing ]
- Bye. I'll miss you.
- Bye.
- Find Kevin.
- ##[ Singing Continues ]
Don't you get lost.
[ Chuckles ]
Good-bye.
[ Frank ]
Good-bye, Kate.
##[ Singing Continues ]
##[ Ends ]
I took a shower, washing
every body part with actual soap...
including all my major crevices, including
in between my toes and in my belly button...
which I never did before,
but sort of enjoyed.
I washed my hair
with adult-formula shampoo...
and used cream rinse
for that just-washed shine.
I can't seem to find my toothbrush,
so I'll pick one up when I go out today.
Other than that,
I'm in good shape.
[ Screaming ]
[ Screaming Continues ]
Whoa!
[ Moans ]
All right!
Buzz's life savings.
I thought the Murphys
went to Florida.
[ Loud Clattering ]
You know, you're one of the great
cat burglars of the world, Marv.
- You think you could keep it down
a little in there?
- [ Phone Ringing ]
Hi,you've reached the Murphys. Please
leave a message after you hear the beep.
Chuck, this is Peter McCallister again,
and we're still in Paris at my brother's apartment.
Let me give you the number here, okay?
The country code is 3-3.
The area code is 1-4.
- And the number is 694-8764.
- Hey, Harry?
- Yeah?
- House we were at last night,
was that the McCallisters?
- Yeah.
- Call me in Paris.
You're right. They're gone.
- I knew they were.
- Silver tuna tonight.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Harry ]
Wow.
How may I help you?
Is this toothbrush approved
by the American Dental Association?
Well, I don't know.
- It doesn't say, hon.
- Can you please find out?
- Herb!
- Yeah?
I've got a question here
about a toothbrush.
Do you know, is this toothbrush approved
by the American Dental Association?
I don't know.
[ Boots Squeaking ]
[ Gasps ]
-Just tell him that--
- Oh, hon, you pay for that here.
Why don't you just
tell him it's approved?
[ Woman ] Wait, son,you have to pay
for that toothbrush. Son?
Son! Hey!
Jimmy! Stop that boy!
Hey! Hey!
Shoplifter!
[ Gasps ]
Hey! Hey, kid!
Come back here!
- [ Women Gasping ]
- [ Woman ] Watch it!
Come back here!
Stop it, will ya!
Come here!
Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa! Whoa!
[ Grunts, Groans ]
Yeehaw!
I'm a criminal.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Chuckles ]
What's so funny?
What's so funny?
What are you laughin'at?
You did it again, didn't you?
You left the water runnin', didn't you?
What's wrong with you?
I told you not to do it.
Harry, it's our calling card.
- Calling card.
- All the great ones leave their mark.
We're the "Wet Bandits."
You're sick, you know that?
You're really sick.
- I'm not sick.

I told you something's wrong. I knew

Never mind. Forget it.

Kevin's at home.

- So?
- You're not at all worried about Kevin?
Why should I be?
He's acted like a jerk too many times,
and this time he caught it in the butt.
But he's so little and helpless.
Don't you think he's flipped out?

You're not worried that something

No. For three reasons.

- In Chicago?
- No. Sheboygan. Very big in Sheboygan.
I'm sorry. Did you say
you could help me?
Anyway, I'm rambling on here.

Our flight was canceled,
so we gotta drive.
So, uh, see the guy in the yellow jacket
over there by the Budget sign?
He's gonna rent us a nice big, uh, van,
and we're gonna drive to Milwaukee.
I heard you had some problems here, uh, gettin'
to Chicago to see your kid or somethin'?
Uh, my son. He--
We left and he's there.
Aw, geez. If you have to get
to Chicago, we'll gladly drive you.
It's on the way to Milwaukee.
- You'd give me a ride?
- Sure we will. Why not,you know?
- You gotta get home and see your kid.

You gotta be kiddin'.
You wanna come back tonight?
- Uh-huh.
- Even with the kid here?
- Uh-huh.
- I don't think that's a good idea.
That house is the only reason we started
workin' this block in the first place.
Ever since I laid eyes
on that house, I wanted it.
So let's take it
one step at a time, okay?
We'll unload the van. We'll get a bite
to eat. We'll come back about 9:00.
- 9:00.
- This way it's dark then.
Yeah. Kids are scared
of the dark.
You're afraid of the dark too, Marv.

Can I talk to you for a minute?
If you make it quick. Santa's got
a little get-together he's late for.
Okay. I know you're not
the real Santa Claus.
What makes you say that?
Just out of curiosity.
I'm old enough
to know how it works.
- All right.
- But I also know that you work for him.
- And I'd like you to give him a message.
- Shoot.
I'm Kevin McCallister,
671 Lincoln Boulevard.
- Do you need the phone number?
- No, that's all right.
Okay.
This is extremely important.
Would you please tell him that, instead of
presents this year, I just want my family back.
No toys. Nothing but Peter,
Kate, Buzz, Megan, Linnie and Jeff.
And my aunt and my cousins.
And, if he has time,
my Uncle Frank. Okay?
Okay. I'll see what I can do.
- Thanks.
- Wait. Hold on a second.

##[ Choir, Indistinct ]
I've been kind of a pain lately.
I said some things
I shouldn't have.
I really haven't been
too good this year.
- Yeah.
- I'm kind of upset about it...
because I really like my family.
Even though sometimes
I say I don't.
Sometimes I even think I don't.
Do you get that?
I think so. How you feel about
your family is a complicated thing.
Especially with an older brother.
Deep down you always love 'em,
but you can forget that you love 'em.
And you can hurt them,
and they can hurt you.
And that's not just
because you're young.
You want to know the real reason
that I'm here right now?
Sure.
I came to hear my granddaughter sing,
and I can't come and hear her tonight.
- You have plans?
- No. I'm not welcome.
- At church?
- Oh, you're always welcome at church.
I'm not welcome with my son.
Years back, before you and
your family moved on the block...
I had an argument with my son.
- How old is he?
- Oh, he's grown up.
We lost our tempers...
and I said I didn't care
to see him anymore.
He said the same, and we haven't
spoken to each other since.
If you miss him,
why don't you call him?
I'm afraid if I call him,
he won't talk to me.
How do you know?
I don't know.
I'm just afraid he won't.
No offense, but aren't you
a little old to be afraid?
You can be a little old
for a lot of things.
You're never too old
to be afraid.
That's true. I've always
been afraid of our basement.
It's dark, there's weird stuff
down there, and it smells funny.
That sort of thing.
It's bothered me for years.
Basements are like that.
Then I made myself go down there
to do some laundry...
and I found out
it's not so bad.
All this time
I've been worrying about it...
but if you turn on the lights,
it's no big deal.
- What's your point?
- My point is you should call your son.
What if he won't talk to me?
At least you'll know.
Then you could stop worrying about it...
and you won't have to be
afraid anymore.
I don't care how mad I was,
I'd talk to my dad...
especially around the holidays.
[ Sighs ]
I don't know.
Just give it a shot.
For your granddaughter anyway.
I'm sure she misses you...
and the presents.
I send her a check.
I wish my grandparents sent that.
They always send me clothes.
Last year I got a sweater
with a big bird knitted on it.
- Oh, that's nice.
- Not for a guy in the second grade.
You can get beat up
for wearing something like that.
- Oh?
- Yeah.
I have a friend who got nailed 'cause there
was a rumor he wore dinosaur pajamas.
You'd better run along home
where you belong.
You think about what I said.

But he's okay. You know, they get over it.
Kids are resilient like that.
- Maybe we shouldn't talk about this.
- Well, you brought it up.
- I was just trying to cheer you up.
- Well, I'm sorry I did.
Mom?
Mom?

Kevin? Kevin!
[ Sighs ]
Merry Christmas, sweetheart.
Oh, Kevin, I'm so sorry.
[ Sighs, Crying ]
Where is everybody else?
Oh, baby, they couldn't come.
They wanted to so much, but--
I didn't fall asleep in the back of the cab
and drool all over you, did I?
- I don't drool.
- You guys, would you shut up!
Come on, you guys, it's Christmas.
Kevin! Kevin, Kevin, my boy!
- Oh, my God!
- Kevin, how are ya?
- Merry Christmas.
- Hi, Mom.
Good to see you. Ah, you're all right.
I love you. You okay?
- Yeah.
- Hey, Kev.
It's pretty cool that
you didn't burn the place down.
- [ Chattering Continues ]
- Thanks, Buzz.
Wait a minute.
How did you guys get home?
Oh, we took the morning flight. Remember?
The one you didn't want to wait for.
Oh, no. [ Laughs ]
Oh, thank you.
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
- Someone has to find an open store.
We don't have milk.
- I went shopping yesterday.
You? Shopping?
I got some milk, eggs
and fabric softener.
- What?
- No kiddin'?
What a funny guy. What else did
you do while we were away?
Just hung around.
[ All Laughing ]
You guys,
put the stuff upstairs.
You went shopping? He doesn't know how
to tie his shoe, and he's going shopping?
- [ Kate ] Buzz, forget it.
- This is not the Kevin I knew.
Honey, what's this?
[ Buzz ]
Kevin! What did you do to my room?
