and think about what you have,
rather than what you don't have.
Only children don't know
how good they have it.
Life would be perfect if
Buzz and Megan weren't around.
I mean, is it too much to ask for
a family who actually likes me?
I'd run away.
If I knew where to run to.
Hey, I do!
I have an open invitation.
Can't get my seat belt unfastened.
Thanks, Alan.
Thanks.
Oh, what an incredible evening.
And not a bad night's work.
We raised over two million
for those children's charities.
Door, open.
And I am on the verge of signing
two of the biggest clients in Chicago.
That's because you're the best publicist
in the world.
- Doors, close.
- Have I remembered to thank you
for telling everyone that?
Fire, light.
Not tonight you haven't.
Perhaps I ought to
show my appreciation.
Music, on.
Curtains, close.
Aw, nuts. Just when
things were getting good.
- Nice house, huh, pumpkin?
- Sure is, Marv.
You sure you don't wanna rob it?
No. No, I don't wanna rob it.
My robbery days are over. Darling, we're
moving up to the big money. All right?
The easy money.
No middleman.
Pure profit. Strictly
a class operation, huh?
Three words, Vera.
Kid-- na-- pping.
I think that's only one word.
We're gonna wait for
the royals to arrive--
hup, dup, dodey-do--
and then we're gonna kidnap the prince.
"Oh, don't kidnap me. I'm fancy."
You sure we can pull it off?
I mean, without
Harry making the plans?
Look where Harry's plans
kept landing me, huh? In jail.
Well, not this time.
Because this time...
I'm the boss.
Who's the boss?
- You're the boss.
- I love being married. Eh?
- That's my girl.
- Hey!
Oh! Looks like
they got a visitor.
This where you want to go?
Yeah, this is the place. Thank you very much.
Keep the change.
It's all change.
Who are you?
Beg your pardon, ma'am.
Yes, Prescott?
Mr. McCallister has a visitor.
The young man claims to be his son.
Well, send him in.
- Kevin!
- Dad!
Hey! Oh! I thought
you said weren't coming.
Well, I started thinking, hey, it's not fair
if Mom gets all the kids for Christmas.
What's Christmas without kids, right?
Right. Hello, Kevin.
Hi, Natalie. I hope you don't mind me
just dropping in like this...
but my dad did invite me.
- Yes, I know.
- Is the invitation still open?
Of course it is.
Molly, would you come here, please?
I've been looking forward
to spending time with you.
Your dad talks about
you kids a lot.
Buzz is the troublemaker.
I'm the adorable one.
Oh. Ah, Molly.
This is Kevin McCallister, and he's going
to be staying with us for a few days.
Would you make up
the special guest room?
Ah, the special guest room.
Right away, ma'am.
- Oh, and Prescott, give Kevin a house key.
- If you say so, ma' am.
What kind of key is this?
It's a key to the whole house.
This is a smart house, Kevin.
It does whatever you tell it to.
Fire, out.
Curtains, open.
Wow! I think
I'm gonna like it here.
Go ahead. You try.
Door, open.
Wow! This stuff
is so cool.
Oh, my gosh!
Oh, my gosh!
This is such cool stuff!. Ah!
Oh! Look at this game!
This chair's
a remote control chair! Oh!
Oh, yeah!
This is so cool! Oh!
- Think you’ll be comfortable here?
- I'll say!
Thanks, Natalie.
This is gonna be the best Christmas ever!
Lights out, Kev.
Hey, Kevin?
Kevin.
How many times
can I lose this child?
Kevin.
- Hello.
- Kate, I...
wanted to let you know
Kevin just got here.
Oh, thank God...
he got there... safely.
- I was gonna call you, but uh--
- Are you okay?
Yeah. Yes, I'm fine.
Well, thanks for
letting him come.
- Well, thanks for calling.
- Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Good mornin', Kevin.
Good morning.
- Who's there?
- Over here, dear.
Hey. Hi.
Breakfast time.
Anything special you'd like?
Anything?
Anything.
- Wow!
- Sometimes I can't wait for Santa to come...
so I end up doing
some shopping by myself.
- Would you like to open one?
- No, you're gonna spoil him.
Dad, it's her
