Home Alone Part One Funny Senes

Home Alone

• This gem:
• This bit is a great example of how the simplest lines can sometimes be among the funniest:

  Kate: Get upstairs.
  Kevin: I am upstairs, dummy! [they're on the second floor, but Kate was referring to the attic]

• In the beginning, Harry (posing as a cop) is trying to talk to Kevin's parents. Unfortunately, every kid he asks is a visiting cousin, who acts unhelpful. Eventually, Harry gripes, "All kids! No parents! Must be a fancy orphanage!"
• Kevin's scream when he slaps aftershave on his face. Even better when he does it again. You think he'd learn after the first time.
• And this gem from Kate while on the phone in Paris:

  Kate: (angry) "Somebody pick up... PICK UP!"

• Kevin uses Angels with Filthy Souls to pull a prank on the pizza delivery boy:

  Johnny: Who is it?
  Pizza boy: It's Little Nero's sir, I have your pizza.
  Johnny: Leave it on the doorstep and get the hell out of here.
  Pizza boy: Okay. (puts the pizza down) What about the money?
  Johnny: What money?
  Pizza boy: (rolls eyes) Well, you have to pay for your pizza, sir.
  Johnny: Is that a fact? How much do I owe ya?
  (Kevin fast forwards to the right point)
  Pizza boy: That'll be $11.80, sir.
  (Kevin pauses and drops $12 through the dog flap; Kevin then plays the next clip)
  Johnny: Keep the change, you filthy animal.
  Pizza boy: (starts to walk away) Cheapskate.
  (Kevin rewinds a few seconds)
  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 fulla lead! One... two... ten! (cue Johnny using the tommygun. The pizza guy runs to his car with all haste)

  • It's even funnier when you remember Kevin was upset in the first act over Pizza Boy not bringing enough cheese pizzas and realize he most likely gave him a cheapskate tip in petty revenge. Even funnier is how it's not really his fault Kevin's parents didn't order extra cheese pizzas.
• Kevin entering Buzz's room to get his life savings, and the bookcase he is climbing on ends up collapsing under him.
• Harry tells Marv to check the house to see if anybody's there.

  Harry: Go check it out.
  (Marv just sits there. Harry looks at him, waiting. Marv looks back at him)
  Marv: Now?
  Harry: No, tomorrow egghead, NOW! Go ahead! (scoffs) "Now."

  • Kevin does the same gangster movie gag on Harry and Marv, with the addition of firecrackers in a pan to make things a little more believable.
• The traps Kevin set up for Harry and Marv:
  • Kevin shoots Harry's groin. Harry makes a squeaky little scream of pain, followed by a bunch of incomprehensible Angrish. One can only imagine what Joe Pesci would've said if he'd been allowed to swear.
  • Marv then sticks his head through the doggy door to see what just happened and stares right into the barrel of a BB gun. Cue "Oh, Crap!" Smile plus a Delayed Reaction after he gets shot. Kevin gives a cheery "Hello!" before pulling the trigger.
  • Harry takes one step on the slippery stairs on the front door and slips. Later, he climbs up and trips back down.
  • Marv slipping down the basement stairs the first time ("Ow!"), and then when the crowbar falls and hits him in the head.
  • Marv steps on a nail, and then screams in pain while grabbing his foot. Then he falls off the stairs. And this is after the tar on the steps has removed his socks and shoes.
    • Take note of the fact that when Marv falls backwards, he misses every single stair and lands flat on his back on the floor, but doesn't even react to that because he's too focused on his foot.
  • After burning his hand on the front doorknob, Harry spits on his other hand to check if the back doorknob is safe. Satisfied, he opens the door and gets his head torched. After putting out the fire with snow, he runs back and kicks the door down.
  • Harry vs. the back door blowtorch. And the sound that comes out of his mouth while he just stands there for about five seconds while letting his head get roasted.

    Harry: HEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

  • Marv steps on the ornaments. " I'M GONNA KILL THAT KID!!!! "
• Marv's reaction to suddenly getting a face full of tarantula, which is somewhere in the vicinity of "EEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
  • Followed by several little screams and squeals as he threw the spider at Harry's chest and reaching for his crowbar to smash it with.

  Harry: (waking up) What are you doing, Marv?
  Marv: (whispers) Harry... don't move.
  Harry: Marv?
  Marv: (whispers) Don't! Move. (getting ready to strike)
  Harry: (very worried) Marv, what are you doing? Marv?
  (Marv hits Harry's chest, missing the spider who crawls back to Buzz's room)
  Harry: AAAGH!! Geeez...
  Marv: Did I get him? DID I GET HIM?! Where is it? Where is it?
  Harry: NEVER MIND WHAT YOU GET! (grabs Marv's crowbar and hits him with it) HOW DO YOU LIKE IT, HUH?! YOU JERK!! Get that kid!

• After successfully bluffing his way passed a supermarket cashier, the bottoms of Kevin's grocery bags burst open on his walk home, spilling his groceries onto the pavement. He gives an Aside Glance of exasperation into the camera.
• Kevin having to face his fear of his basement furnace while doing laundry by telling it to "Shut up." And it does.
• The following:

  Marv: Yeah. Kids are scared of the dark.
  Harry: You're afraid of the dark too, Marv. You know you are.
  (Beat)
  Marv: No I'm not!

• Buzz yelling at the end, "KEVIN! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY ROOM?!"
• Buzz implying to Kevin that he ate the last cheese pizza and that if he wants any somebody's gonna have to barf it up. He then tells Kevin to get a plate so he can throw some up for him and Kevin attacks him causing chaos in the kitchen.
• When Kevin finds Santa Claus, Santa's griping about getting a ticket for his car. "What next, rabies shots for the Easter Bunny?"
• Kevin telling Santa he wants his family back for Christmas and names all the family members he wants back finally saying that if Santa has time he'd also like his rude Uncle Frank back as well.
• "Look what you did, you little jerk!"
• Uncle Frank's half-assed attempt of showing sympathy on the plane.

  Uncle Frank: Horrible. Horrible. If it makes you feel any better, I forgot my reading glasses.

  • Followed by his wife, Peter, and Kate's reaction. His wife having a disapproving look.
• Kevin and his mom finish their discussion.
• And this little exchange once the two crooks are inside the house:

  Harry: (seeing Marv in bare feet, his shoes having got stuck in tar in the basement) Why the hell did you take your shoes off?
  Marv: (seeing Harry covered in bits of feathers that got stuck on him) Why the hell are you dressed like a chicken?

• "I don't want a new family! I don't want any family! Families suck!"
• Any scenes involving Harry and Marv.
• Harry and Marv getting hit in the face by paint cans that Kevin sends swinging their way.

  Harry: (ducking) HEADS UP!
  Marv: Huh? (gets walloped with the paint can and falls to the bottom of the steps)
  Harry: Don't worry Marv, I'll get 'em for ya!
  Marv: HARRY! (points)
  (Harry turns around to get whacked with the paint can, and falls down onto a still laid out Marv)
  Harry: (after they resume pursuit) You bomb me with one more can, kid, and I'll snap off your cojones and boil them in motor oil!

• "You guys give up, or are you thirsty for more?" Doubles as a Moment of Awesome. Even better, Macaulay Culkin improvised it!
• Speaking of improv: when Kevin hides in the treehouse, the crooks look out the window, and Marv blurts out "Maybe he committed suicide." Improvised by Daniel Stern.
• After hiding from the Wet Bandits during their first break-in attempt, Kevin decides to be brave and call them out since he's "the man of the house". Oh, he is so Tempting Fate with this one.

  Kevin: Hey! I'm not afraid anymore! I said, I'm not afraid anymore! Do you hear me? I'm not afraid anymore! (Then comes creepy Old Man Marley and his shovel) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! (And the screams continue for a good twenty seconds as he runs into the house, including screaming right into the camera)

• The deleted scenes are outright hilarious but the topping is one of Harry and Marv singing their own rendition of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" while driving, with more appropriate lyrics:

  Both: You better watch out, you better not hide, if your doors are open, we're coming inside, Harry and Marv are coming to town!

  Harry: We know when you're out dancing.

  Marv: We know just what to take.

  Both: We know where all the money's hid, So come on, give us a break! You better watch out, you better not hide, if your doors are open, we're coming inside! Harry and Marv are coming to toooown!

• In one blooper, Macaulay Culkin yells, "Someone's in my house!"
• Another blooper where Joe Pesci forgets who he is.

  Joe: Are you afraid to go out the window, Harry? I'm Harry!

• Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern's interviews for the featurette, in which they're completely unapologetic for their characters' actions:

  Stern: They're a bunch of rich fat cats and we're gonna rip 'em off!

• This exchange when the officer (Harry in disguise) talks to Peter.

  Officer (Harry): Are you Mr. McCallister?
  Peter: Yeah.
  Officer (Harry): The Mr. McCallister who lives here?
  Peter: Yes.
  Pizza boy: Good, because somebody owes me $122.50.

• Fuller and his sister are staring at "Officer" Harry with open mouths.

  Harry: How are you kids doing, good? A lot of action around here today, huh? Going on vacation? Where are you going? (still gawking at him) You hear me or what? Going on a trip? Where are you going, kid?! (a knock on the door) Ha!

• Kevin's mom tries to call the police for help.

  Kate: I'm calling from Paris, I have a son who's home alone—
  Sergeant Balzak: Has the child been involved in a violent altercation with a drunken or mentally ill member of the household?
  Kate: (baffled) No.
  Sergeant Balzak: Has he been involved in a household accident?
  Kate: (worried) I don't know! I'd- I hope not!
  Sergeant Balzak: Has the child ingested poison or any other object that's become lodged in his throat?
  Kate: (aggravated) NO! He's just home alone! I'd like somebody to go over to the house and see if he's all right! Just to check on him!
  Sergeant Balzak: You want us to go to your house, just to check on him.
  Kate: YES!

  • If you look carefully, in his last question, a piece of donut sticks on the phone, and a moment later, it fell off and you can hear it land on his desk.
• A behind-the-scenes example: the crew had a swear jar on set because they didn't want the adult actors swearing in front of the kids. For Joe Pesci, who filmed this alongside his role as Tommy in GoodFellas, it took him all of one day to fill the entire thing.
• Marv tries to pry the basement door open with a crowbar, only to turn the knob and discover it was unlocked the whole time.
• Marv giggles to himself after finishing a robbery, after leaving the "calling card" of leaving the taps running to flood the house, a practice Harry finds weird and unnecessary and has apparently previously scolded him for doing so as they immediately descend into a very petty argument in the van, leading to Harry being so distracted driving he nearly runs over Kevin. Bonus points for this "calling card" meaning the police now know every house the Wet Bandits hit after they're arrested.
• Kevin scares away Marv by playing that same film he used for scaring away the pizza boy, but simply plays it and uses firecrackers to imitate the gunfire. Marv runs to Harry explaining he witnessed a murder (while implying he has actually seen the movie, recognising a voice and the name Snakes), prompting Harry to suggest they stick around so they can give the details to the police. The fact that Marv actually takes a long pause before saying "that's a good idea" really helps sell the scene. It ends with Marv hammily musing "He sounded like a snake".
  • When Marv tells Harry he heard the name Snakes, Harry quickly repeats the name to himself while trying to recall if Snakes is a criminal associate that the two have come across previously.

Home Alone 2

• A trailer for this movie uses a hilariously twisted version of "Deck the Halls", complete with Follow the Bouncing Ball, over some of Harry and Marv's mishaps:

  Deck the halls with Marv and Harry. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)
  Make their Christmas not-so-merry. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)
  Give them bricks, and give them wrenches. (Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la la la!)
  One more Christmas in the trenches. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)

  Toss some paint-cans (sic) down to greet them. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)
  Send the toolbox down to meet them. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)
  Serve them nails for Christmas dinner. (Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la la la!)
  Marv: YEOW!!!!
  Kevin is declared the winner. (Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la la la!)

  
  Harry: May I do the thinking, please?

• The hotel staff chases Kevin into his hotel suite, where Kevin suddenly puts on Angels with Even Filthier Souls and does a much more over the top version of his previous use of the movie on the pizza boy in the first film to slow them down:

  Johnny: Hold it right there!
  Mr. Hector: This is the Concierge, sir!
  Johnny: I knew it was you. I could smell ya getting off the elevator! [...] You was here last night too, wasn't ya? [beat]
  Mr. Hector: ...Yes, sir. I was.
  Johnny: You was here...and you was smoochin' with my brother!
  Mr. Hector (taken aback) I... I'm afraid you're mistaken, sir.
  Johnny: Don't gimme that. You been smoochin' with everybody! Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy leg, Cheeks, Bony Bob, Cliff...
  Security Guard: (everyone looks to this guard, whose nametag just happens to reads "Cliff", he is shocked as everyone else. One of them also has an expression that basically says "Cliff, is it true?" while Cedric shakes his head with a "for shame" expression) No! It's a lie!
  Johnny: I could go on forever, baby.
  Mr. Hector: I'm terribly sorry, sir, but I'm afraid you're mistaken. We're looking for a young man.
  Johnny: All right. I believe you. (Johnny pulls his gun in the film) But my tommygun don't! (everyone is horrified) Get down on your knees and tell me you love me.
  Mr. Hector: (whispers) On your knees. (everyone gets down on their knees) I love you! (Kevin snickers in the other room)
  Johnny: You gotta do better than that!
  Hotel Staff: [in unison] I LOVE YOU!
  Johnny: Maybe I'm off my hinges, but I believe ya. That's why I'm gonna let ya go. I'm gonna give ya 'til the count of three to get your lousy, lyin', low-down, four-flushin' carcass out my door! (the hotel staff scramble out of there as fast as they can) One...
  Mr. Hector: Open the door!
  Johnny: Two... (Begins unloading his tommygun, laughing maniacally. The hotel staff dive for cover out in the hall) Three! (Kevin lip syncs Johnny's words as he ducks into the stairwell) Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal! (Johnny shoots another burst. Kevin pokes his head out on cue) And a Happy New Year. (one last shot)
  Mr. Hector: (as he and the staff begin crawling away as the hotel guests peek out) Stay in your rooms! This is an emergency! There's an insane guest with a gun!

  • Earlier, when Kevin watches the movie the first time.

    Johnny: You was here last night too, wasn't ya?
    Gardenias: I was singing at the Blue Monkey last night.
    Kevin: She was not! She was smooching with your brother.
    Johnny: You was here... and you was smoochin' with my brother!
    Kevin: See?

• "SUCK BRICK, KID!" Marv's one-liner to Kevin once he has a brick in hand, clearly said in response to having suffered four thrown bricks to the face in less than two minutes from Kevin throwing said bricks from a three story rooftop. Even more hilarious is that on the final one Marv sees Kevin winding up and starts incoherently babbling while he tries to warn Harry. Despite being the one to see it coming and Harry looking away, he still winds up getting hit.
  • Making it funnier is that Kevin simply takes a step to the left and Marv completely misses.
• First time Kevin gets caught by Harry and Marv, they reach an intersection in the street, with an attractive lady in front of them. Upon confirming he's not being watched, Kevin pinches her in the bum. Said lady happens to have had an interaction with Marv earlier and thinking he did it, she punches Marv right in the face, catching Harry fully off-guard.

  Kevin: He did it! (Points at Harry)
  Harry: Did what? (Gets decked by her anyway)
  Kevin: (Big grin on his face) Thanks!

• The exchange with Mr. Hector the concierge (played by Tim Curry of course) and Kevin operating the shower. Kevin has rigged up the inflatable Bozo to silhouette behind the shower curtain, making it out to be his dad. He's playing the recording of Uncle Frank singing "Cool Jerk" by the Capitols on the Talkboy that he recorded near the beginning of the film. The concierge walks in and is standing in disbelief when Kevin turns the inflated Bozo and this exchange, complete with gestures, occurs:

  Recorded Uncle Frank: GET OUT OF HERE YOU NOSY LITTLE PERVERT, OR I'M GOING TO SLAP YOU SILLY!
  Mr. Hector: (some sort of anguished cry) (runs out of the bathroom)
  Recorded Uncle Frank: Oh, we're cooking, Frankie!
  Mr Hector: (hits and knocks over endtable) Oof! (places endtable upright and limps out of the room)

  • This becomes especially funny when you consider one of Tim Curry's earlier roles...
  • Speaking of that scene, Kevin got the recording while his Uncle Frank was in the shower, while getting his tie.

    Kevin: My tie's in the bathroom. I can't go in there, 'cause Uncle Frank's taking a shower. He says if I walked in there and saw him naked, I'll grow up never feeling like a real man.
    (His parents stare at him in confusion)
    Kevin: Whatever that means.
    Peter: I'm sure he was just teasing. You just run in there, get your tie, get out, and don't look at... anything.

• When Harry and Marv first spot Kevin and surprise him on a crowded New York street. Kevin's initial response? To scream as loudly as possible. They responde by looking around awkwardly. And Kevin just stands there a few seconds.
  • When he's in the clutches of Harry and Marv in public, how does he escape? Take a giant squeeze out of the ass of the lady in front of him (who happened to be the same woman who slapped Marv after he tried to flirt with her earlier in the film) and pass it off as his captors doing it; she punches them both out and he escapes. Even funnier is he thanks her afterward, and she in turn gives him a nod and happy "Hmph".
• Kate and Peter explaining to Airport Security in Florida that yes, they have in fact lost Kevin once before. Which leads to this wonderfully awkward attempt at humor from Peter:

  Peter: Funnily enough, we never lose our luggage!

  • And then he and Kate start giggling nervously and knock on wood while the officer very uncomfortably stares at them. This becomes even more funny when you remember the officer from the first movie that spoke with Kevin's parents being completely unconcerned.
• "That was the sound of a tool chest falling down the stairs."
• Marv falls into the basement through a huge hole Kevin cut in the floor. He stands up and wrenches his back so that he's staring straight up, and declares "Wow, what a hole!"
  • And before that he had to suffer a gauntlet of pain just to get up the front steps and into the door, starting with being pelted by bricks, followed by repeatedly getting shot in the butt by a staple gun, groin, and nose. After having enough and kicking the doors open he proudly shouts:

  Marv: Harry! I've reached the top! [takes one step forward, falling into the massive hole down to the basement.]

• Kevin throwing down bricks at the bandits, every single one hitting Marv on the spot. Bonus points for the first brick, which sends Marv stumbling to the ground making a sound something like "Eeuurraaaghh!" Summed up by Honest Actions as follows:
• Marv's unexpected encounter with an electrified sink. Cue frantic screaming that gradually increases in pitch the longer it goes on, and his brief transformation into a screaming skeleton. Röntgen would not approve.
• Marv tries to leave the basement by way of a conveniently placed rope going up several floors. He tugs on it to see if it's stable; it seems to be, so he takes his first jump up...and pulls a massive bag of cement mix off the edge of the top floor. Marv ends up looking like a Death Metal version of Ronald McDonald afterwards.

  Marv: Uh-oh...
  (the bag hits him, flooring him; when he gets up, his hair is puffed up and his face is all white)
  Marv: I'm gonna murder that kid. [beat] ACHOO! *coughs*

• Near the end of the movie we have this gem between Kevin's mom and one of the hotel employees

  Kate: "What kind of hotel allows a child to check in alone?"
  Hotel Employee: "The boy had a very convincing story."
  Kate: (angrily) "What kind of idiots do you have working here?"
  Hotel Employee: (proudly) "The finest in New York."

• The bag exchange:

  Peter: (picks up Kevin's bag) That's Kevin, give this to Kevin.
  Kate: Give this— (Uncle Frank gestures "Not me!", so Kate turns to Aunt Leslie instead) Give this to Kevin.
  Aunt Leslie: (rolls her eyes) Give this to Kevin.
  Tracy: Give this to Kevin.
  Linnie: Kevin.
  Buzz: [without even taking the bag so it goes directly from Linnie to Rod] Give this to Kevin.
  Rod: Give this to Kevin.
  Sondra: Give this to Kevin.
  Megan: Give this to Kevin.
  Jeff: Give this to Kevin.
  Brooke: Give this to Kevin.
  Fuller: Here you go, Kevin. (turns and is shocked to see an elderly couple looking quizzically at him, then gives bag back) Kevin's not here.
  Brooke: Kevin's not here.
  Jeff: Kevin's not here.
  Megan: Kevin's not here.
  Sondra: Kevin's not here.
  Rod: Kevin's not here.
  Linnie: Kevin's not here.
  Tracy: Kevin's not here.
  Aunt Leslie: Kevin's not here.
  Kate: Kevin's not here.
  Peter: (double-takes) WHAT?!
  Kate: (laughs for a few seconds before...) KEVIN!!!! (faints)

• Harry unknowingly lights his own head on fire with a light cord that Kevin has rigged up to a blowtorch. He inexplicably starts casually walking around the room — despite being able to tell Kevin's not there — for a few seconds, and doesn't realize what has happened to his head until he glimpses at the mirror. ^note Perhaps the blowtorch that burned his head in the first movie damaged the nerves in that part of his head or, since the blowtorch's flames were a lot smoother, his hat stopped him from feeling the fire. He panics and after realizing that the sink faucets don't work because the plumbing is busted, he notices water in the toilet. Instead of simply taking his hat off and throwing it in or just dunking his head in the water, he does a perfect handstand on the rim of the toilet and lowers himself in, not knowing that the liquid in the toilet has been replaced with paint thinner. The result is an explosion that blows out the entire first floor of the house but miraculously Harry survives with only a singed scalp and some soot on his face and teeth.
  • The fact Harry actually checked to see if every light was a trap except the one that was.
• Marv and Harry's Bad "Bad Acting" as they try to fake Kevin out by pretending to get hit with the paint cans, having anticipated that he would try this, while Harry counts them off ("OW! Right in the SCHNOZZ!"). Sadly, they fail to anticipate the lead sewer pipe that knocks them down a moment later:

  Marv: [as the pipe comes swinging their way] Oops.
  (the pipe slams in their faces, knocking them down the stairs, into the hole in the floor and onto the basement where they lie)
  Marv: That's... three.
  (Kevin cuts the string holding the pipe, causing it to roll down the stairs)
  Harry: No...
  (the pipe hits them again)
  Marv: That's... four!

  It also helps that before Kevin catches them off-guard, they're clearly enjoying themselves as they put up their act, along with the fact that Marv seems clueless as to what Harry's getting at until the first paint can comes down.

• The ham-tastic way in which Marv delivered this response, suddenly straightening up, thrusting out his chest and putting his hands on his hips.

  Kevin: You guys giving up? Have you had enough pain?
  Marv: NEVAH!

  • It cannot be overstated how much Daniel Stern hams it up in this movie.
• At the end, Kevin is in Central Park wishing the pigeon lady a Merry Christmas, while Buzz gets Kevin's room service bill at the hotel room. Buzz holds in a shit-eating grin while looking at it.

  Buzz: Merry Christmas, indeed. Oh, da-ad...
  (cut to outside)
  Peter: KEVIN!!!! YOU SPENT $967 ON ROOM SERVICE???!!!

  • What makes this even funnier is the fact that modern audiences would think that's not terrifyingly much for a kid stuck in a city for a few days, since modern pricing for the hotel Kevin stayed at can run about $600 for a few days. However, adjusting for inflation as of 2021, Kevin spent the 1992 equivalent of more than $2,000 on room service alone.
• When Kate and Peter wake to find that they've overslept. Again.

  Kate and Peter: We did it again! (Aside Glance) Argh!

• Throughout the early parts of the search through the booby trapped house, Harry is doing his damned best to make sure he doesn't fall for any traps again. He fails to do so, obviously, but it's just so hilarious watching him constantly testing doorknobs and checking whether or not anything he touches will set off another trap.
• Admit it, the transition shot from the Grinch's evil smile to Tim Curry pulling one of his own was pretty funny.
  • Even funny is when Tim Curry says his line, the light bulb above him turns on.
• As much of a Jerkass as he is, Buzz's prank during the performance is still pretty hilarious on its own — him holding the glowing (electronic) candles behind Kevin's ears, then pointing them towards his ears like arrows, then finally pretending to drum on his head with them (with very convincing motions and expression at that), all the while almost the entire audience are sent into hysterics.
  • Buzz's ridiculously formal apology afterwards, which the entire family eats up. What really makes it is his line after Kevin rightfully storms off.

  Buzz: (shaking his head with a thoughtful expression) What a troubled young man...

  • "I'm not apologizing to Buzz. I'd rather kiss a toilet seat."
• At the end of the film, before Buzz gives his speech to Kevin, he tries to get everyone's attention by blowing a whistle. Instead, he blows a raspberry.
• When Kevin photographs the bandits outside the toy store: "Hey guys! Smile!" — and Marv does!
• This exchange:

  Frank: You better not wreck this trip, you little sourpuss. Your dad's paid good money for it.
  Kevin: Oh, wouldn't want to spoil your fun, Mr. Cheapskate.

  • Which is made even funnier by both his and Fuller's reactions.
• Meta: "Home Alone in 5 Seconds".
• This bit, after Harry lays out the robbery plan:

  Harry: Yep, there's nobody dumb enough to knock off a toy store on Christmas Eve.
  Marv: Oh yes there is... (points and himself and Harry)

• Uncle Frank, to Fuller, who's drinking a soda: "Hey, easy on the fluids, pal. The rubber sheets are packed." He then takes the Coke and begins drinking it himself.
• Marv's girly scream when he's attacked by the pigeons.
• As Kate is deciding to look for Kevin herself:

  Kate: The way I'm feeling, no mugger or murderer would dare mess with me!
  Mr. Hector: Madam, there are hundreds of parasites out there, armed to the teeth— (gets slapped across the face by Kate's glove) Do bundle up; it's awfully cold outside. (Lip quivering as he looks like he's struggling not to cry)

• After arriving in New York fresh from a jailbreak, Marv immediately commits the dastardly crime of… snatching at a bucket full of change from a charity Santa Claus in passing.

  Harry: That's real smart, Marv. You bust out of jail to rob 14¢ from a Santee Claus?

  • Marv also announces from the change sticking to his taped hand that their new nickname is "The Sticky Bandits!". Harry looks supremely unimpressed and merely says, "Real cute."
  • At the end, when Harry and Marv are arrested again, Marv wants it known to the press that their new name is the Sticky Bandits:

  Marv: That's "sticky". S, T, uh...
  Harry: I.
  Marv: I...

• Kevin manages to leave evidence for the cops before he runs off into the night; his Polaroids of Harry and Marv stealing the cash, and a tape recording when they'd captured him earlier simply labelled "Bad Guys Saying They'll Kill Me."
• As they were being arrested, one of the officers mentioned that the inmates have already exchanged gifts.

  Marv:: We missed the presents?

• Kevin's plan to expose Harry's and Marv's plan to the police is made easy because Marv openly tells them.

  Marv: He made us hide out in the store so we could steal all the kiddies' charity money.
  Harry: (kicks Marv) Shut up, Marv! You got the right to remain silent, you know.
  Marv: He's a little cranky. We just broke out of prison a few days ago.
  Harry: (kicks him again) SHUT UP, Marv! Jeez!
  Cop: (disgusted) Get 'em outta here.

• Harry and Marv hide out in Mr. Duncan's toy store, in doll houses. They poke their heads out of the windows to discuss their plan to rob the place and have to stay completely still when customers walk past.

  Marv: Hey, nice house! But there's no bathroom in it!

  • Later in the scene, when Kevin takes their picture as they're grabbing the loot, Harry runs out of the store and jumps on a board- Marv inadvertently hops on the other end, sending Harry airborne and landing on the top of a car. Even better, Marv complains as he's helping Harry up: "I twisted my ankle on that board there."

Home Alone 3

• Alex is in the bathroom when he realizes he has chicken pox and screams. In her bedroom, Molly calls out, "Alex slammed the toilet seat on his thing again!" Which Jack, on the phone downstairs, then gives as an excuse to hang up. If you listen closely, it sounds like the person he's talking to even lets out a noise of sympathy.
• After Alex's first call, the police arrive at the Stephens' house, yelling out "Freeze!" A dog then pauses in mid-step.
• Alice's pants ripping and the exchange that follows.

  Alice: I need assistance. I'm exposed.
  Beaupre: Maintain your position. Do not, I repeat, do not draw attention to yourself.

• Unger and Jernigan getting shocked by cutting live wires and sitting on an electrified chair respectively. Before cutting the wire, Unger says this.
• Unger sees Jernigan sitting on a broken toilet.

  Unger: Are you almost done in there?
  Jernigan: Don't... start with me.
  Unger: I'll wait.

• Alice sees Doris running up Jernigan's pant leg. She misses with her club, giving Jernigan an Instant Soprano scream. And then there's what he says after that.

  Jernigan: You smacked my winkie!
  Alice: Well, if you changed your shorts once in a while, maybe you wouldn't have RATS in your pants!

• In Mrs. Hess's garage, Beaupre confronts Alex about the chip, but his plan goes awry when he finds out that he accidentally grabbed a dart gun instead of his real one:

  Alex: That doesn't belong to you either.
  Beaupre: What?
  Alex: That's not your gun.
  Beaupre: (fires dart gun)
  Alex: This is your gun. (points painted bubble gun at Beaupre)
  Beaupre: (backs away cautiously as Alex points painted bubble gun at him)
  Alex: AH!
  Beaupre: (screams and runs away in fear)
  Alex: Gotcha! (fires bubble gun)

• When the police arrive during the climax to find Unger and Jernigan in the swimming pool:
• The final shots of the movie reveal that all four villains contracted chicken pox from Alex.
• Just the fact that the bad guys are supposed to be highly trained spies. So watching them fall for Alex's traps is absolutely hilarious.

Home Sweet Home Alone

• After Max's mom calls the Winnetka police department about Max being left home alone and it gets radioed to the officers on duty, an annoyed Buzz tells his colleagues about the events of the first two films and explains that Kevin has made it a yearly tradition to make a prank call to the police claiming a child has been left home alone just to mess with him.
