Struggles with Packing a Suitcase
Kevin
I don't know how to pack a suitcase. I've never done it once in my whole life!
Jeff
Tough.
Kevin
That's what Megan said.
Megan
What did I say?
Jeff
You told Kevin "Tough".
Megan
The dope was whining about a suitcase. What was I supposed to do, shake his hand and say, "Congratulations, you're an idiot"?
Kevin
I'm not an idiot!
Megan
Oh, really? You're completely helpless! Everyone has to do everything for you.
Jeff
She's right, Kev.
Kevin
Excuse me, puke-breath, I'm a lot smaller than you! I don't know how to pack a suitcase!
Linnie
Hey, I hope you didn't just pack crap, Jeff.
Jeff
Shut up, Linnie.
Kevin
You know what I should pack?
Jeff
Buzz told you, cheek-face. Toilet paper and water.
Linnie
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".
Kevin
What?
Jeff
Bombs away!
[throws his bag down the stairs which lands at Harry's feet]
Linnie
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.
Kevin
This house is so full of people, it makes me sick! When I grow up and get married, I'm living alone! Did you hear me? I'm living alone! I'm living alone!
[jumps up and down in frustration as Harry looks up at him]
Rod
Who's gonna feed your spider while we're gone?
[taps on the spider's tank]
Buzz
He just ate a load of mice guts. He should be good for a couple weeks. Is it true French babes don't shave their pits?
Rod
Some don't.
Buzz
But they got nude beaches.
Rod
Not in the winter.
Kevin
Buzz?
Buzz
Don't you know how to knock, phlegm-wad?
Kevin
Can I sleep in your room? I don't wanna sleep with Fuller. If he has something to drink, he'll wet the bed.
Buzz
I wouldn't let you sleep in my room if you were growing on my ass! Check it out. Old man Marley.
Rod
Who's he?
Buzz
You ever heard of the South Bend Shovel Slayer?
Rod
No.
Buzz
That's him. Back in 58, he murdered his whole family and half the people on this block... with a snow shovel. Been hiding out in this neighborhood ever since.
Rod
If he's the shovel slayer, how come the cops don't arrest him?
Buzz
Not enough evidence to convict. They never found the bodies. But everyone around here knows he did it. It'll just be a matter of time... before he does it again.
Rod
What's he doing now?
Buzz
He walks up and down the streets every night... salting the sidewalks.
Rod
Maybe he's just trying to be nice.
Buzz
No way. See that garbage can full of salt? That's where he keeps his victims. The salt turns the bodies into mummies.
Kevin
Mummies!
[whispering]
Buzz
Yeow! Look out!
[as Marley spots them, he quickly closes the curtains]

An Apology for Immature Pranks
Buzz
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'd like to apologize for whatever displeasure I might've caused you.
Kevin
What?
Buzz
My prank was immature and ill-timed.
Frank
Immature or not, it was pretty gol-dern hilarious.
Buzz
I'd also like to apologize to my brother. Kevin, I'm sorry.
Kate
Oh, Buzz, that was very nice. Kevin, do you have something to say?
[the whole family claps their hands and stops, waiting for Kevin to say something]
Buzz
Beat that, you little trout-sniffer.
Kevin
I'm not sorry! I did what I did because Buzz humiliated me! And since he gets away with everything, I let him have it! And since you're all so stupid to believe his lies, I don't care if your idiotic Florida trip gets wrecked or not! Who wants to spend Christmas in a tropical climate anyway?
Kate
Kevin!
Peter
Kevin, you walk out of here, you sleep on the third floor.
Fuller
Yeah, with me.
Kevin
So what else is new?
Frank
You'd better not wreck my trip, you little sourpuss! Your dad's paying good money for it!
Kevin
Oh, I wouldn't want to spoil your fun, Mr. Cheapskate!
Buzz
What a troubled young man.
Kevin
They're all a bunch of jerks.
Kate
Hi. You know, Kevin, the last time we all tried to take a trip, we had a problem that started just like this.
Kevin
Yeah, with me getting dumped on.
Kate
I don't care for your choice of words. That's not what happened last time, and it's not what's happening this time. Buzz apologized to you.
Kevin
Yeah, then he called me a trout-sniffer. He didn't mean what he said. He was just sucking up to you.
Kate
Okay, why don't you just sit up here for a while and think things over? When you're ready to apologize to Buzz and the rest of the family, you can come down.
Kevin
I'm not apologizing to Buzz! I'd rather kiss a toilet seat!
Kate
Then you can stay up here for the rest of the night.
Kevin
Fine. I don't wanna be down there anyway. I can't trust anybody in this family. And do you know what? If I had my own money, I'd go on my own vacation, alone, without any of you guys. And I'd have the most fun in my whole life.
Kate
Well, you got your wish last year. Maybe you'll get it again this year.
Kevin
I hope so!

He ran away from the hotel when they questioned him about the card. He must be so scared, Peter.
Peter
I wonder if he'd know enough to go to my brother's place.
Kate
Aren't they in Paris?
Peter
Maybe they have a house sitter.
Kate
I thought you said they were renovating.

Frustration Over Family Separation
Megan
This is so pointless.
Buzz
What?
Megan
We're here rotting in this apartment, Kevin's at home, Mom's at the airport.
Buzz
So?
Megan
You're not at all worried about Kevin?
Buzz
Why should I be? He's acted like a jerk one too many times, and now he caught it in the butt.
Megan
He's so little and helpless. Don't you think he's flipped out?
Buzz
The trout can use a couple of days in the real world.
Megan
You're not worried that something might happen to him?
Buzz
No, for three reasons: A, I'm not that lucky. Two, we have smoke detectors. And D, we live in the most boring street in the whole United States of America where nothing even remotely dangerous will ever happen. Period.
