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.

Santa Okay, I'll see what I can do.
Kevin Thanks.
Santa Wait. Hold on a second. My elf took the last of the candy canes home to her boyfriend.

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.

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!

Mr. Dewey Welcome to the library, young man. Don't tell me, you're here for a special book.
Richard Tyler Uh, Mister...
Mr. Dewey Stop, stop stop, let me guess. I have a talent for guessing what people need. You're in need of... a fantasy. Brave knights, mythical faeries, ferocious dragons.
[starts speaking magically]
Richard Tyler Look, all I want is...
Mr. Dewey Adventure! Of course, you're a boy who loves adventure, brimming with wicked demons, cutthroat pirates.
[grabbing him and speaking excitedly]
Richard Tyler No, no. That's not it.
Mr. Dewey Horror. Ahh, horror. Evil demons, wretched monsters, haunted houses, graveya-a-rds. Yes, it's horror for you, boy. I'm sure of it. Your library card, please.
[speaking scarily while creeping toward him; back to normal voice]
Richard Tyler Uh, I don't have one.
Mr. Dewey You do now.
[makes a library card appear magically]

Harry We're not gonna hurt you.
Marv No, no. We got some nice presents for you.
Harry Be a good little fella now and open the door. Owww!
[Kevin shoots Harry in the groin; Harry falls to his knees as he mumbles under his breath]
Marv What? What? What? What? What happened?
Harry Get that little----!
Kevin Hello. Yes! Yes!
[shoots Marv in the head; Marv screams in pain]
Marv That little jerk is armed!
Harry That's it! That's it! I'm going in the front! You go down the basement! That smart aleck. Oh, boy. That's it, you little... You little... No, not this time, you little brat. You little creep, where are you?
[Harry gets his hand burnt, screams in agony and then puts his hand in the snow]
Kevin Yes! Yes! Yes!
Harry I'll rip his head off! You're dead, kid. Ahhhhhh! Where are you, you little creep?!
[Harry gets his head blowtorched; He runs out, and puts his head in the snow; kicks the door open]
Marv Harry, I'm coming in!
Kevin Oh, no! I'm very scared!
Harry It's too late for you, kid! We're already in the house! We're gonna get you!
[to Kevin]
Kevin Okay, come and get me!
Harry Why, you...! Now you're dead!
Marv I'm gonna kill that kid!
[climbs in through the window and steps barefoot on the ornaments; screams in pain]
Harry Marv.
Marv Harry?
Harry Why the hell'd you take your shoes off?!
Marv Why the hell are you dressed like a chicken?
Kevin I'm up here, you butt heads! Come and get me! You guys give up, or are you thirsty for more?
[they slip on the toy cars]
Harry Heads up! Don't worry, Marv. I'll get him for you.
[Marv gets whacked by a paint can]
Marv Harry!
[Harry gets whacked by a paint can]
Kevin Yes!
Marv He's only a kid, Harry. We can take him.
Harry Ah, shut up, will you? What is it?
Marv Ooh, you're missing some teeth.
Harry Where? Where? It's my gold tooth. My gold tooth. I'll kill him. I'll kill him! You bomb me with one more can, kid, and I'll snap off your cojones and boil them in motor oil!
Dispatcher 911, what's your emergency?
Kevin Help, my house is being robbed. My address is 656 Lincoln Boulevard. My name is Murphy.
[disguising his voice]
Harry You never know what's up there. There he is!
[trips over the wire]
Marv I gotcha! I got him, Harry. I got him. Harry, get up! Give me a hand! I got him! Harry, help me! Get up! I got him.
[jumps over the wire and grabs Kevin by the ankle as he tries to run into the attic; screams as a tarantula is on his face]
Harry What are you doing, Marv?
Marv Harry, don't move.
Harry Marv?
Marv Don't... move.
Harry Marv, what are you doing? Marv...
[screams in agony from Marv hitting him with the crowbar to try and kill the tarantula]
Marv Did I get him? Did I get him? Where is it? Where is it?
Harry Never mind did you get it! How do you like it, huh?! You jerk! Get that kid! Go on! Get that kid! Where'd he go?
[whacks Marv with the crowbar repeatedly]
Marv Maybe he committed suicide.
Kevin Down here, you big horse's butt! Come and get me before I call the police!
Marv Let's get him!
Harry Wait, wait. That's just what he wants us to do- us to go back downstairs through his fun house so we get all tore up.
Marv He's gonna call the cops!
Harry From a treehouse?! Come on.
Marv Out the window?
Harry Yeah.
Marv I'm not going out the window.
Harry Why, you scared, Marv? Are you afraid? Come on, get out here. Come on. Come on! Keep going. Keep going.
Marv Let's go back, Harry.
Harry Shut up. Shut it, Marv!
Kevin Hey, guys! Check this out.
Harry Go back! Go back. There he goes! There he is! Get out of the way, you dope!
Marv There he is!
Kevin Hey, I'm calling the cops.
Harry Wait, wait, wait, wait. He wants us to follow him. I got a better idea. Come on. Hiya, pal. We outsmarted you this time. Get over here!
Marv What are we gonna do to him, Harry?!
Harry We'll do exactly what he did to us. I'm gonna burn his head with his blowtorch.
Marv Then we can smash his face with an iron!
Harry I'd like to slap him right in the face with a paint can, maybe!
Marv Or shove a nail through his foot!
Harry The first thing I'm gonna do is bite off every one of those little fingers, one at a time.
[Old Man Marley knocks them both down with a shovel]
Old Man Marley Come on, let's get you home.

Unexpected Encounter on Christmas Day
Marley Merry Christmas.
Kevin Huh?
Marley May I sit down? That's my granddaughter up there. The little red-haired girl. She's about your age. You know her?
[Kevin nods]
Kevin No.
Marley You live next to me, don't you?
Kevin Yeah.
Marley You can say hello when you see me. There's a lot of things going around about me, but none of it's true. Okay? You been a good boy this year?
Kevin I think so.
Marley You swear to it?
Kevin No.
Marley I had a feeling. Well, this is the place to be if you're feeling bad about yourself.
Kevin It is?
Marley I think so.
Kevin Are you feeling bad about yourself?
Marley No.
Kevin 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. 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's a complicated thing.
Kevin Especially with an older brother.
Marley Deep down, you always love em. But you can forget that you love em. And you can hurt them and they can hurt you. And that's not just because you're young. You wanna know the real reason I'm here right now?
Kevin Sure.
Marley I came to hear my granddaughter sing. And I can't hear her tonight.
Kevin You have plans?
Marley No. I'm not welcome.
Kevin At church?
Marley 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 How old is he?
Marley 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 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 How do you know?
Marley I don't. I'm just afraid he won't talk to me.
Kevin No offense, but, aren't you a little old to be afraid?
Marley You can be a little old for a lot of things. You're never too old to be afraid.
Kevin That's true. I was 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 I made myself go down to do some laundry... and I found out it's not so bad. I worried about it, but if you turn on the lights, it's no big deal.
Marley What's your point?
Kevin My point is, you should call your son.
Marley What if he won't talk to me?
Kevin At least you'll know. Then you could stop worrying about it. You won't have to be afraid anymore. No matter how mad I was, I'd talk to my dad, especially around the holidays.
Marley I don't know.
Kevin Just give it a shot. For your granddaughter anyway. I'm sure she misses you. And the presents.
Marley I send her a check.
Kevin 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 Oh, that's nice.
Kevin Not for a guy in the second grade. You can get beat up for wearing something like that. I have a friend who got nailed because there was a rumor he wore dinosaur pajamas.
Marley You better run home where you belong. Think about what I said, all right?
Kevin Okay.
Marley It's nice talking to you.
Kevin Nice talking to you. What about you?
Marley Me?
Kevin Yeah, you and your son.
Marley We'll see what happens. Merry Christmas.
Kevin Merry Christmas.

Kerosene and Christmas: An Unexpected Encounter

[on the roof; takes a picture of them]
Marv Let's kill!
Harry Hold on, pea-brain. We got busted last time because we underestimated that little bundle of misery.
Marv This ain't like the last time. This ain't his house. The kid's runnin scared. He ain't got a plan.
Harry May I do the thinking, please? Thank you. Sonny!
[Marv gestures "go ahead"; calls up to Kevin]
Kevin Yes?
Harry Nothing would thrill me more greatly than to shoot you. Knockin off a youngster ain't gonna mean all that much to me. Understand?
Kevin Mmm-hmm.
Harry But since we're in a hurry, I'll make a deal wit'cha. You throw down your camera, and we won't hurt ya. You'll never hear from us again. Okay?
Kevin You promise?
Harry I cross my heart and hope to die.
Kevin Okay!
Harry Okay, kid. Give it to me!
[he and Marv snicker; Kevin throws a brick, hitting Marv on the forehead]
Marv Oh!
[falls down]
Kevin Direct hit!
