KATE:
It's Brooke's.

Give this to Brooke, this to Kevin.

- Give this... Give this to Kevin.

- Give this to Kevin.

Give this to Kevin.

- Kevin.

- Kevin.

- Give this to Kevin.

- Give this to Kevin.

- Give this to Kevin.

- Kevin.

- Give this to Kevin.

- Here you go, Kevin.

- Kevin's not here.

- Kevin's not here.

- Kevin's not here.

- Kevin's not here.

- Kevin's not here.

- Kevin's not here.

- Kevin's not here.

- Kevin's not here.

Kevin's not here.

Kevin's not here.

What!

Kevin!

(GASPS)

Excuse me, this is an emergency!

Yes, sir?

What city is that?

That's New York.

Yikes, I did it again!

Something wrong, sir?

I'll be fine.

Oh, no. My family's in Florida

and I'm in New York.

My family's in Florida?

I'm in...

...New York?

Wow.

What's the child's name?

- Kevin.

- K-E-V-l-N.

When did you see him last?

Curbside check-in?

No, I saw him at the door.

He was with us in the terminal.

Most people get separated at security.

Did everyone get through security?

I don't know. Peter...

We were in a hurry.

We ran all the way to the gate.

When did you notice he was missing?

When we picked up our baggage here.

- Has the boy ever run away from home?

- No.

Has he ever been in a situation

on his own?

As a matter of fact,

this has happened before.

KATE:
It's becoming a McCallister

family travel tradition.

Funnily enough,

we never lose our luggage.

(KNOCKING)

He was left at home,

by accident, last year.

That's what my wife meant calling it

a McCallister family travel tradition.

We'll call Chicago and...

...notify them of the situation.

The odds are that's where he is.

Thanks.

Very unlikely he'd be anywhere else.

(HORN HONKS)

DRIVER:

Watch out, kid!

WORKER:

Yo, where's your manifest?

Here we are, Marv, New York City.

The land of opportunity.

Smell that?

Yeah.

Know what that is?

- Fish.

- It's freedom.

No, it's fish.

- It's freedom and it's money.

- Okay, okay.

It's freedom.

Come on, let's go before

someone sees us.

And it's fish.

Yes, one quick score.

We get ourselves

some phony passports...

...and we hightail it

to some foreign country.

Arizona?

That's very smart, Marv.

You bust out of jail to rob 14 cents

from a Santy Claus?

Every bit helps.

Mesides, now we got our new nickname.

We're the Sticky Mandits!

Real cute.

Very cute.

"The Plaza Hotel. New York's most

exciting hotel experience."

Sick!

What's the matter?

Thought I saw something.

(SPEAKS IN FRENCH)

Serves you right! Come on, let's go.

I think she likes me.

Ahh.

Excuse me, where's the lobby?

- Down the hall and to the left.

- Thanks.

Wow.

ANNOUNCER ON RECORDER: Guests of

the new Celebrity Ding-Dang-Dong...

... stay at the world-renowned

Plaza Hotel:

New York's most exciting

hotel experience.

For reservations, call toll-free...

... 1-800-759-3000.

I'll do just that.

KEVIN:
Howdy-do. This is Peter

McCallister. The father.

I'd like a hotel room.

With an extra-large bed, a TV...

...and one of those little

refrigerators with a key.

Credit card? You got it.

Plaza Reservations, may I help you?

KEVIN ON RECORDER IN SLOW SPEED:

Howdy-do. This is Peter McCallister.

The father.

WOMAN:
Yes, sir.

- I'd like a hotel room.

WOMAN:
Yes.

- With an extra-large bed, a TV...

... and one of those little

refrigerators with a key.

You'll need a major credit card.

Credit card? You got it.

WOMAN:

Thank you. Enjoy your stay.

CONCIERGE:
Yes, two at eight, Henri.

Mr. Yamamoto.

Hold on a second.

I'll call you back.

Hi.

Can I help you?

Reservation for McCallister.

A reservation for yourself?

My feet are hardly touching the ground.

I can barely see over the counter.

How can I make a reservation

for a room?

Think about it:
A kid going into

a hotel making a reservation?

I don't think so.

I'm confused.

I'm traveling with my dad.

He's on business. He's at a meeting.

I hate meetings. I'm not allowed

to go in, only to sit in the lobby.

That's boring.

So my dad dropped me off.

Gave me his credit card and said

to have check-in...

...let me in the room

so I won't get into mischief.

Ma'am, sometimes I do

get into mischief.

We all do.

Merry Christmas.

No sign of him.

We'll need to be in touch.

You have hotel rooms?

- Yeah.

- Do you have a recent photo of him?

I have one in my wallet.

I don't have my wallet.

My wallet's in my bag.

Kevin was looking in my bag at

the airport. He has my wallet.

- Did you have credit cards?

- Credit cards, money...

We'll notify the credit card

companies.

If your son has the cards, we can get

a location on him when he uses them.

I don't think he knows

how to use a credit card.

Wow! It worked!

- Cedric.

- Yes?

- Don't count your tips in public.

- I'm sorry.

And find out everything you can

about that young fellow.

Front, please!

Enjoy your stay with us.

Don't forget to remind

your dad, when he arrives...

...he must come down and

sign a couple of things.

- Thank you, you've been helpful.

CEDRIC:
May I take your bag?

Up here to your left.

Herbert Hoover

once stayed on this floor.

The vacuum guy?

No, the president.

This is one of our finest suites, sir.

This is great!

Wow! A huge bed just for me!

Luxurious and spacious.

How convenient.

Hey.

Did you want the key in the bag?

Or did you want to hang on to it?

I'll hang on to it.

Everything all right?

- Is the temperature okay?

- It's okay.

- Do you know how the TV works?

- I'm 10 years old. TV's my life.

Well...

I'm sorry.

And there's plenty more

where that came from.

Thank you.

Would you mind if I worked

on my cannonballs?

No.

Thanks.

KEVIN:

Yikes!

This is a vacation.

Hold it right there!

It's me, Johnny.

I knew it was you.

I could smell you getting off

the elevator.

- Two scoops, sir?

- Two? Make it three, I'm not driving.

DAME:
Gardenias, Johnny, your favorite.

- Thank you.

You was here last night too,

wasn't you?

I was singing at the Blue Monkey

last night.

She was not.

She was smooching your brother.

You was here, and you was

smooching with my brother.

-DAME:
That's a dirty lie.

-See?

Don 't give me that.

You been smooching everybody!

Snuffy, Al, Leo,

Little Moe with the gimpy leg,

Cheeks, Boney Bob, Cliff...

I could go on forever, baby.

DAME:
You have me all wrong!

JOHNNY:

All right...

... I believe you.

But my Tommy gun don 't!

Johnny!

You're the only duck in my pond!

Get down on your knees

and tell me you love me.

DAME:

Baby! I'm over the moon for you!

You gotta do better than that!

If my love was an ocean, Lindy'd have

to take two planes to get across it.

Maybe I'm off my hinges,

but I believe you.

That's why I'm gonna let you go.

I'm gonna give you till the count

of three, to get your lousy...

... lying...

... lowdown, four-flushing carcass

out my door!

She's rat bait.

One!

Two!

(JOHNNY LAUGHING MANIACALLY)

Three!

Merry Christmas, you filthy animal.

And a Happy New Year.

Housekeeping.
