[Peter and Kate stare]
Peter I'm sure he was kidding. Just run in there, get your tie, get out, and don't look at anything.

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!

Marv American don't fly to the promised land, little buddy.
[they hustle him away]
Harry Come on. We spent nine months in jail, thinking we had the worst luck in the universe. We were wrong, little buddy.
Marv We busted out of the clink and we're doing fine. We're gonna be doing even better, because we're not robbing houses anymore. Now we're robbing toy stores.
[Harry chuckles]
Marv At midnight tonight, we're hitting Duncan's Toy Chest. Five floors of cash. Then after that, we get a couple of phony passports, then it's off to Rio...
Harry Marv! Marv!
Marv Huh?
Harry You want to shut up?
Marv What's the difference? He's not gonna talk to anybody. Except maybe a fish. Or the undertaker.
Harry Let's just get him to the subway tunnel. I'll feel a lot better once we get him on ice. I've got a gun in my pocket. You open your mouth, and you'll be spitting gum out through your forehead.
[to Kevin]
Marv Well, hello.
[trying to be suave again; she punches him in the face and he falls over]
Kevin He did it!
[indicating Harry]

Kevin Thanks!
Harry Go get him!

Harry What are you doing, flirting?!
Marv Over there!
Boy Don't!
Girl Give it!
Marv Hey, Harry. I got him.
Harry Let me see! That ain't him! Put him down, that ain't him! We should've shot him while we had the chance. I hate pulling a job, knowing that little creep is on the loose.
Marv What else can he do? He's a kid. Kids are helpless.
Harry Not this kid.
Marv But this time he doesn't have a house full of dangerous goodies to get us with. He's in the park. He's all alone. Kids are scared of the park.
Harry Yeah, grown men come in the park and don't ever leave alive. Good luck, little fella.

Marv AAAH!
[pigeon flies out his jacket]

Harry May I do the thinking, please? Thank you. Sonny!
[Marv gestures "go ahead"; calls up to Kevin]

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 Direct hit!
Child Checks Into Hotel Alone
Mr. Hector We'd like to offer you a complimentary suite while you're here. It's a penthouse with a view of the park. I think you'll find it satisfactory. It was recently vacated by the Countess of Worcestershire.
Kate What kind of hotel allows a child to check in alone?
Mrs. Stone The boy had a very convincing story.
Kate What kind of idiots do you have working here?!
Mrs. Stone The finest in New York.
Peter Well, I mean, when you discovered that the credit card was stolen, what...
Mr. Hector I made the discovery.
[proudly]
Kate Why did you let him leave?
Mr. Hector When we attempted to confront him, he ran.
Peter You scared him away!
Kate It's Christmas Eve, and because of you, our child is lost in one of the biggest cities in the world.
Peter Could you take our family and our luggage up to the room, please?
[to Cedric]
Cedric Yes, sir!
Mr. Hector Run along, Cedric.
Peter I'm gonnna go down to the police station. I'm gonna make sure that they're doing everything in their power to find Kevin. I want you to stay here with Frank, Leslie and the kids.
[to Kate]
Kate No! I'm going out to look for him.
Peter What?
Mr. Hector With all due respect, madam, your son is lost in one of the biggest cities in the world.
Peter Could you stay out of this, please?
[to Mr. Hector]
Mr. Hector As you wish.
Peter Thank you. I don't think it's a good idea for you to start running around all over New York City all by yourself.
[to Kate]
Kate I think if our son can do it, I can do it.
Peter Kate, if...
Kate Peter, I'll be fine. The way I'm feeling right now, no mugger or murderer would dare mess with me!
Mr. Hector Madam, there are hundreds of parasites out there, armed to the teeth- Do bundle up. It's awfully cold outside.

[follows Harry]
Harry Yep, one quick score. We get ourselves a couple of phony passports and we hightail it to some foreign country.
Marv Arizona?
[shoves tape-covered hand into a donation kettle to steal some coins]
Harry That's very smart, Marv. You bust out of jail to rob 14 cents from a Santy Claus?
Marv Every little bit helps. Besides, now we got our new nickname. We're the Sticky Bandits!
Harry Real cute. Very cute.
[sarcastically]
Marv Huh?
A Parent's Response to a Missing Child
Kate Do you have kids?
Cop Yes, ma'am.
Kate And what would you do if one of them was missing?
Cop I'd probably be doing the same thing you're doing.
Kate Thank you.
Cop Look, put yourself in your kid's shoes. Where would you go? What would you do?
Kate Me? I'd probably be lying dead in a gutter somewhere. Oh, but not Kevin. No. Kevin is so much stronger and braver than I am. And I know Kevin's fine. I'm sure he is. But he's still all by himself in a big city, and he doesn't deserve that. He deserves to be at home, with his own family, around his Christmas tree. Oh, dear God. I know where he is! I need to get to Rockefeller Center!
[pauses in realization]
Cop Hop in.
Missing Wallet Leads to Child's Disappearance

Cop Did you have credit cards in the wallet?
Peter Credit cards, money...
Cop We'll notify the credit card companies immediately. If your son has the cards, we can get a location on him when and if he uses them.
Kate No, I don't think Kevin knows how to use a credit card.
