Home Alone Page #6

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.

They get over it.

Kids are resilient like that.

We shouldn't talk about this.

I was just trying to cheer you up.

I'm sorry I did.

Mom?

Mom?

Kevin!

Merry Christmas, sweetheart.

Oh, Kevin, I'm so sorry.

Where's everybody else?

Oh, baby, they couldn't come.

They wanted to so much...

I didn't fall asleep in the back

and drool all over you, did I?

- You do drool!

- Shut up!

Kevin, my boy. How are you?

You're all right.

I love you. You okay?

It's cool that you didn't

burn the place down.

Thanks, Buzz.

Wait a minute.

How'd you guys get home?

On the morning flight you didn't

want to wait for.

- Oh, no. Oh! Thank you.

- Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Someone has to find an open store.

I went shopping yesterday.

You, shopping?

I got some milk, eggs

and fabric softener.

- What?

- No kidding?

What a funny guy.

What else did you do

while we were away?

Just hung around.

Bring your stuff upstairs.

He went shopping? He doesn't know how

to tie his shoe. He's going shopping?

Honey, what's this?

Kevin! What did you do

to my room?
