Kevin McCallister : I wish my grandparents did that. They always send me clothes. Last year I got a sweater with a big bird knitted on it.
Marley : That's nice.
Kevin McCallister : Not for a guy in the second grade. You can get beat up for wearing something like that. Yeah, I had a friend who got nailed because there was a rumor he wore dinosaur pajamas.
-
Kevin McCallister : Hey, I'm not afraid any more! I said I'm not afraid any more! Do you hear me? I'm not afraid any more!
[Old Man Marley approaches Kevin and stares at him - Kevin runs back inside, screaming like a maniac]

Kevin McCallister : Everyone in this family *hates* me!
Kate McCallister : Then maybe you should ask Santa for a new family.

Kate McCallister : Then say it again. Maybe it will happen.
Kevin McCallister : I hope that I never see any of you jerks again!

Marv : I'm not going out the window!
Harry : What're you scared, Marv? Are you afraid? C'mon, get out here.
Marv : [Marv follows Harry and they start across the rope] Ohhh, let's go back. Let's go back, Harry!

Harry : [knocks on the back door] Merry Christmas, little fella. We know that you're in there, and that you're all alone.
Marv : Yeah, come on, kid, open up. It's Santy Claus... and his elf!
Harry : [snickers] We're not gonna hurt you.
Marv : Oh no, no, we got some nice presents for you.
[Below their heads, Kevin slowly pushes the barrel of the air rifle through the doggie door and takes aim at Harry's groin]
Harry : Be a good little fella now, and open the door.
[PING!]
Harry : [high-pitched] AAAAAAHHHHHHHHOOOO...
[Cursing fluently under his breath, he hops around holding his crotch, and falls to his knees]
Marv : What?
[Harry falls down, still groaning and cursing]
Marv : What? What happened?
Harry : Get the little...!
[Marv goes back and sticks his head through the dog door... and sees Kevin laying on his belly on the floor, aiming the air rifle right between his eyes. Marv smiles lamely]

Kevin McCallister : Just hung around.

Gangster 'Johnny' : Who is it?
Pizza Boy : It's Little Nero's, sir. I have your pizza.
Gangster 'Johnny' : Leave it on the doorstep and get the hell outta here.
Pizza Boy : Okay.
[leaves the pizza on the doormat]
Pizza Boy : But what about the money?
Gangster 'Johnny' : What money?
Pizza Boy : [matter-of-factly but sarcastically] Well, you'll have to pay for your pizza, sir.
Gangster 'Johnny' : Is that a fact. How much do I owe ya?
Pizza Boy : Uh. That'll be $11.80, sir.
[Kevin drops the money from the dog door]
Gangster 'Johnny' : Keep the change, ya filthy animal.
Pizza Boy : Cheapskate.
[starts to leave, but is stopped by Johnny's next line]
Gangster 'Johnny' : Hey, I'm gonna give you to the count of ten, to get your ugly, yella, no-good keister off my property, before I pump your guts full of lead! 1, 2, 10!

Linnie McCallister : Listen, Kevin, what are you so worried about? You know Mom's gonna pack your stuff anyway. You're what the French call "les incompetents".
Kevin McCallister : What?
-
Kevin McCallister : [to Santa's helper] This is extremely important. Will you please tell Santa 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?
-
Kevin McCallister : You guys give up? Or are you thirsty for more?
-
Kevin McCallister : Is this toothbrush approved by the American Dental Association?
Clerk : Well, I don't know. It doesn't say, hon.
Kevin McCallister : Well, could you please find out?
-
Kevin McCallister : 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.
-
Kate McCallister : [about Kevin] He was in the garage again playing with the glue gun.
Peter McCallister : Didn't we talk about that?
Kevin McCallister : Did I burn down the joint? I don't think so. I was making ornaments out of fish hooks.
Peter McCallister : My NEW fish hooks?
Kevin McCallister : I can't make ornaments out of the old ones, with dry worm guts stuck on them.
-
Kate McCallister : [while on the phone, Kevin jumps onto the bed] No, we're not bringing the dog. We took him to the kennel... Hey, hey! Get off. Kevin, out of the room!
Kevin McCallister : Hang up the phone and make me, why don't you?
-
Kate McCallister : There are 15 people in this house, you're the only one who has to make trouble.

Kevin McCallister : I *am* upstairs, dummy.

-
Kevin McCallister : Mom, Uncle Frank won't let me watch the movie, but the big kids can. Why can't I?
Kate McCallister : Kevin, I'm on the phone.
Kevin McCallister : It's not even rated R. He's just being a jerk.
Kate McCallister : Kevin, if Uncle Frank says no, then it must be really bad.
-
Kevin McCallister : Santa, hold on. Can I talk to you for a second?
Santa Claus : Yes, but make it quick. Santa's got a little get together he's late for.
Kevin McCallister : Okay. I know you're not the real Santa Claus.
Santa Claus : [his beard is pulled down, revealing his real face] What makes you say that? Er, just out of curiosity.
-
Rod McCallister : [watching Old Man Marley] What's he doing now?
Buzz McCallister : He walks up and down the streets every night, salting the sidewalks.
Rod McCallister : Maybe he's just trying to be nice.
Buzz McCallister : No way. See that garbage can full of salt? That's where he keeps his victims. The salt turns the bodies... into mummies.
Rod McCallister : Whoa.
Kevin McCallister : Mummies?
[Marley looks up at the boys]
Rod McCallister : Look out!
[they close the drapes and run]
-
Kevin McCallister : [behind the dining room door] Oh no, I'm really scared!

Kevin McCallister : OK, come and get me!

Harry : [Harry, disguised as a cop greets Peter who's just come down the stairs] Are you Mr McCallister?
Peter McCallister : Yeah.
Harry : The Mr McCallister who lives here?
Peter McCallister : Yes.
Pizza Boy : [chiming in] Oh good, because someone owes me $122.50.
Harry : I'd like a word with you, Sir.
Peter McCallister : Am I under arrest or something like that?
Harry : No, no, no, no, no. It's Christmastime. There's always a lot of burglaries around the holidays. So we're just checking the neighbourhood to see if everyone's taking the proper precautions. That's all.
Peter McCallister : Oh, well we have automatic timers for our lights. Locks for our doors. That's about as good as you can get these days. Did you get some egg nog or something like that?
Buzz McCallister : [comes down the stairs] Come on, Dad. Let's eat.
Harry : Egg... egg nog?
[Peter goes off with Buzz]
Harry : Hey, listen will you be leaving... er?
[trailing off]
Kevin McCallister : [Kevin charges down the stairs] Pizza! Pizza! Pizza!

Kate McCallister : Merry Christmas, sweetheart.
[he's warily suspicious of her]
Kate McCallister : Oh, Kevin, I'm so sorry.
Kevin McCallister : [hugging her] Where's everybody else?
Kate McCallister : Oh, baby, they couldn't come. They wanted to so much, but...
[to their surprise, the front door opens and the other kids come in, arguing]
Peter McCallister : Come on, you guys, it's Christmas.
-
Kevin McCallister : The third floor?
Kate McCallister : Go.
Kevin McCallister : It's scary up there.
Kate McCallister : Don't be silly; Fuller will be up in a little while.
Kevin McCallister : I don't wanna sleep with Fuller. You know about him, he wets the bed. He'll pee all over me, I know it.
Kate McCallister : [looking disgusted] Fine, we'll put him somewhere else.

Buzz McCallister : Hey, Kev. It's pretty cool you didn't burn the place down.
Kevin McCallister : Thanks, Buzz.
-
Kevin McCallister : I don't know how to pack a suit case. I've never done this once in my whole life.
Jeff McCallister : Tough.
Kevin McCallister : That's what Megan said.
Megan McCallister : What did I say?
Jeff McCallister : You told Kevin "tough".
Megan McCallister : The dope was whining about a suit case. What was I supposed to do? Shake his hand and say, "Congratulations, you're an idiot"?
-
Kevin McCallister : [after unintentionally stealing a toothbrush] I'm a criminal...
-
Furnace : Ha, ha, ha. Hello, Kevin. Ha, ha, ha.
Kevin McCallister : Shut up.

Leslie McCallister : Peter, Kate, do you guys have a voltage adapter?
Peter McCallister : [hands her Kevin] Here, here's a voltage adapter.

Kevin McCallister : [stares in horror] *Pack* my *suitcase*?
-
Kevin McCallister : Buzz?
Buzz McCallister : Don't you know how to knock, phlegm-wad?
-
Kate McCallister : [Walking up the stairs to the 2nd floor] There are 15 people in this house and you're the only one, who has to make trouble.
Kevin McCallister : I'm the only one getting dumped on.
Kate McCallister : You're the only one acting up. Now, get upstairs.
Kevin McCallister : I am upstairs, dummy.
[She opens the door to the 3rd floor attic]
Kevin McCallister : The third floor?
Kate McCallister : Go.
Kevin McCallister : It's scary up there.
Kate McCallister : Don't be silly. Fuller'll be up in a little while.
Kevin McCallister : I don't wanna sleep with Fuller. You know about him, he wets the bed. He'll pee all over me, I know it.
Kate McCallister : [Looks disgusted] Fine. We'll put him somewhere else.
Kevin McCallister : I'm sorry.
Kate McCallister : It's too late. Get upstairs.
Kevin McCallister : [He walks half-way up, stops, and turns to face her] Everyone in this family hates me.
Kate McCallister : Then, maybe you should ask Santa for a new family.
Kevin McCallister : I don't want a new family, I don't want any family. Families suck.
Kate McCallister : Just stay up there. I don't want to see you again for the rest of the night.
Kevin McCallister : I don't want to see you again for the rest of my whole life and I don't want to see anybody else, either.
Kate McCallister : [Softly, in shock] 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.
Kevin McCallister : No, I wouldn't.
Kate McCallister : Then, say it again. Maybe it'll happen.
Kevin McCallister : I hope that I never see any of you jerks again.
[Turns around, walks the rest of the way up, as Kate closes the door behind him]
Kevin McCallister : [Thinking to himself as he lays down on the pull-out sofa] I wish they would all just disappear.

[Kevin is decorating his Christmas tree; Harry pears through the window behind him; Kevin's face looks shocked as he notices Harry's face reflected in one of the red baubles]
Kevin McCallister : Dad! Can you come here and help me?
Harry : [smiles and taps Marv's shoulder; whispering] Remember that kid we saw the other day?
[Marv nods]
Harry : He lives here.
Marv : Well, if the kid's here, the parent's gotta be.
Harry : [shakes his head] He's home alone.
-
Kevin McCallister : 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.
Marley : Yeah.
Kevin McCallister : 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?
Marley : I think so. How you feel about your family is a complicated thing.
Kevin McCallister : Especially with an older brother.
Marley : Deep down, you always love 'em. But you can forget that you love them. 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 why I'm here right now?
Kevin McCallister : Sure.
Marley : I came to hear my granddaughter sing. I can't come and hear her tonight.
Kevin McCallister : You have plans?
Marley : No... I'm not welcome.
Kevin McCallister : [confused] At church?
Marley : 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.
Kevin McCallister : How old is he?
Marley : 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.
Kevin McCallister : If you miss him, why don't you call him?
Marley : I'm afraid if I call him, he won't talk to me.
Kevin McCallister : How do you know?
Marley : I don't know. I'm just afraid he won't.
Kevin McCallister : No offense, but... aren't you a little old to be afraid?
Marley : You can be a little old for a lot of things, but you're never too old to be afraid.
Kevin McCallister : 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.
Marley : Basements are like that.
Kevin McCallister : 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.
Marley : What's your point?
Kevin McCallister : My point is, you should call your son.
Marley : What if he won't talk to me?
Kevin McCallister : 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.
-
Kevin McCallister : I'm old enough to know how it works.
Santa Claus : Right.
Kevin McCallister : But I also know that you work for him. And I like you to give him a message.
Santa Claus : Shoot.
Kevin McCallister : I'm Kevin McCallister, 671 Lincoln Blvd. Do you need the phone number?
Santa Claus : No, that's all right.
Kevin McCallister : 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?
Santa Claus : Okay. I'll see what I can do.
Kevin McCallister : Thanks.
Santa Claus : Wait, hold on a sec. My elf took the last of the candy canes home to her boyfriend.
Kevin McCallister : That's all right.
Santa Claus : No, don't be silly. Santa's got a little something. Here, hold your little paw there.
[gives tic-tacs to Kevin]
Santa Claus : Here you go. Don't spoil your dinner.
Kevin McCallister : I won't. Thanks.
[then walks away]
Santa Claus : [as he gets in his car and starts it, the engine is not working] Son of a-!
