INT. KEVIN'S HOUSE

Harry, a thief, is dressed as a policeman. He is trying to get someone's attention, but
no one is listening to him. They are all busy, getting ready for a trip to France.

GIRL
Where's my suitcase? Who took my shirt?

HARRY
Miss. Young lady! Excuse me. Girls! Hey, little fella. Hey! Excuse me, girls. Girls! Hey, big fella!

AUNT LESLIE
Help me make the beds in the living room. Come on down here!

HARRY
Ma'am! Hey, son! Big fella. Hey, little guy! Little guy!

Kevin's mom is talking on the phone.

KEVIN'S MOM
Pete's brother and his family are here.Trish is going to Montreal.
Montreal? Oh, her family's there. Then we're off.When? Tomorrow.
You're not ready, are you?

Kevin comes into the room and talks to his mother.

KEVIN
Uncle Frank won't let me watch the movie...but the big kids can. Why can't I?

Kevin's mom is irritated.

KEVIN'S MOM (TO KEVIN)
I'm on the phone.

KEVIN'S MOM (ON PHONE)
When do you come back? Not till then?

KEVIN
It's not even rated R. He's just being a jerk.

KEVIN'S MOM
Kevin, if Uncle Frank says no...then it must be really bad.
 KEVIN'S MOM
No, we put the dog in the kennel...

Kevin gets on his parents' bed.

KEVIN'S MOM
Hey, get off! Kevin, out of the room.

KEVIN
Hang up the phone and make me, why don't you?

KEVIN'S MOM
This kid.

Kevin's dad comes into the room and talks to Kevin's mom.

KEVIN'S DAD
Did you pick up a voltage adapter thing?

KEVIN'S MOM
No, I didn't have time.

KEVIN'S DAD
Then how do I shave in France?

KEVIN'S MOM
Grow a goatee.

KEVIN
Dad, nobody'll let me do anything.

KEVIN'S DAD
I've got something, pick up those MicroMachines that are all over.
Aunt Leslie almost broke her neck.

KEVIN'S MOM
He was playing with the glue gun again.

KEVIN'S DAD
We talked about that.

KEVIN
Did I burn down the joint? I don't think so.
I made ornaments out of fish hooks.

KEVIN'S DAD
My new fish hooks?

KEVIN
I can't make them out of old ones...with dry worm guts stuck on them.

KEVIN'S MOM
Peter.

KEVIN'S DAD
Come on, Kevin. Out.

Kevin's aunt comes into the room.

AUNT LESLIE
Do you guys have a voltage adapter?

KEVIN'S DAD
Here's a voltage adapter!

Kevin's dad carries Kevin and Kevin leavesthe room with his aunt.

AUNT LESLIE
God, you're getting heavy! Go pack your suitcase.

KEVIN
Pack my suitcase?

Kevin's sister Megan is looking for shampoo.

MEGAN
Where's the shampoo?

FULLER
I don't live here.

MEGAN
This many people here and no shampoo.

Harry tries to get someone's attention again.

HARRY
Are your folks home?

MEGAN (TO HARRY)
They don't live here.

MEGAN (TO TRACY)
Tracy, did you order pizza?

TRACY
Buzz did.

HARRY (TO TRACY)
Excuse me. Are your parents here?

TRACY
My parents live in Paris.

HARRY (TO LINNIE)
Hi!


LINNIE
Hi.

HARRY
Are your parents home?
LINNIE
Yeah.

HARRY
Do they live here?

LINNIE
No.

HARRY
Why should they? All kids, no parents.
Probably a fancy orphanage.

KEVIN
I don't know how to pack a suitcase.
I've never done it once.

JEFF
Tough.

KEVIN
That's what Megan said.

MEGAN
What did I say?

JEFF
You told him "Tough. "

MEGAN
The dope was whining about a suitcase. What was I supposed to say?
"Congratulations, you're an idiot"?

KEVIN
I'm not an idiot!

MEGAN
Really? You're helpless! We have to do everything for you.

JEFF
She's right, Kev.

KEVIN
Excuse me, puke-breath. I'm small. I don't know how to pack.

LINNIE
I hope you didn't just pack crap.

JEFF
Shut up, Linnie.

KEVIN
What should I pack?

JEFF
Buzz told you, cheek-face. Toilet paper and water.

LINNIE
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 throws a suitcase down the stairs.

JEFF
Bombs away!

LINNIE
P.S. You have to sleep on the hide-a-bed with Fuller.If he has something to drink, he'll wet the bed.

Kevin is so angry.

KEVIN
This house is so full of people it makes me sick!
When I grow up and get married, I'm living alone!

He is jumping up and down and Harry is standing nearby.

KEVIN
Did you hear me? I'm living alone! I'm living alone!

INT. BUZZ'S ROOM

ROD
Who's gonna feed your spider?

BUZZ
He just ate a load of mice guts. He'll 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 comes in Buzz's room.

KEVIN
Buzz?

BUZZ
Don't you know how to knock, phlegm-wad?

KEVIN
Can I sleep here? I don't want to sleep with Fuller.
If he drinks, 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.

They go by the window and look at an old man

ROD
Who's he?

BUZZ
You ever heard of the South Bend Shovel Slayer?

ROD
No.

BUZZ
That's him. In '58 he murdered his family
and half the people on his 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.
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?

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.

ROD
Wow. Mummies!

The old man looks at them...

ROD
Look out!

The pizza delivery man comes to Kevin's house by car.
And  the policeman(Harry) is talking to the children.

HARRY
How you kids doing? Good? Lot of action around here today, huh?
Going on vacation? Where you going?

The children watch Harry but their faces look expressionless.

HARRY
You hear me, or what? Going on a trip? Where you going, kid?

The delivery man knocks on the door and comes in.

DELIVERY MAN
Okay, that's $ 122.50.

HARRY
Not from me, kid. I don't live here.

DELIVERY MAN
You just around for the holidays?

HARRY
You could say that.

The pizza delivery boy arrives.  He hands the pizzas to Uncle Frank.

DELIVERY BOY
Pizza's here! There you go. That's $ 122.50.

UNCLE FRANK
It's my brother's house. He'll get it.

HARRY
Hey, listen...
KEVIN'S DAD
Hi.

HARRY
Hi.

HARRY
Are you Mr. McCallister?

KEVIN'S DAD
Yeah.

HARRY
The Mr. McCallister who lives here?

KEVIN'S DAD
Yes.

DELIVERY BOY
Because somebody owes me $ 122.50.
HARRY
I'd like a word with you.

KEVIN'S DAD
Am I under arrest or something?

HARRY
No. There's always a lot of burglaries around the holidays.
We're checking the neighborhood to see if the proper precautions are taken.

KEVIN'S DAD
Oh, well...We have automatic timers for our lights, locks for our doors.
That's about as well as anybody can do.

KEVIN'S MOM
Did you get some eggnog?

UNCLE FRANK
Let's eat. Come on.

AUNT LESLIE
Eggnog?

KIDS
Pizza!

HARRY
Are you gonna be leaving...?
KEVIN'S MOM
Grab a napkin and pour your own drinks.

BUZZ
Does Santa go through customs?

LINNIE
What time do we have to go to bed?

KEVIN'S MOM
Early. We're leaving at 8 a. m. On the button. I hope you're all drinking milk.
I want to get rid of it.

KEVIN'S DAD
Pizza boy needs $ 122.50.

KEVIN'S MOM
For pizza?

KEVIN'S DAD
Ten pizzas times 12 bucks.

INT. KITCHEN: NIGHT

As Kevin enters, everyone is already eating.

AUNT LESLIE
You've got money.

UNCLE FRANK
Traveler's checks.

KEVIN'S MOM
Forget it, Frank. We have cash.

KEVIN'S DAD
You probably got the checks
that don't work in France.

KEVIN
Did anyone order me a plain cheese?

BUZZ
Yeah. But if you want any...somebody's gonna have to barf it up
because it's gone.

Fuller is drinking a lot of Pepsi.

AUNT LESLIE
Fuller! Go easy on the Pepsi.

Fuller smiles at Kevin.  Kevin gets angry and pushes Buzz.
He makes a mess and everyone is angry at him.  The passports
get wet.

BUZZ
Kev! Kev, get a plate.

KEVIN'S DAD
Passports!

UNCLE FRANK
Watch it!

KEVIN'S DAD
No, no. Get these passports out of here.

JEFF
You moron!

AUNT LESLIE
Are you okay, honey? Come here. Are you all right?

KEVIN'S MOM
What is the matter?

KEVIN
He started it! He ate my pizza on purpose.
He knows I hate sausage and olives...

UNCLE FRANK
Look what you did, you little jerk!

KEVIN'S MOM
Get upstairs now.

KEVIN
Why?

JEFF
You're such a disease.

KEVIN
Shut up!

KEVIN'S MOM
Kevin, upstairs!

KEVIN'S MOM
Say good night, Kevin.

KEVIN
Good night, Kevin.

Kevin leaves the room.

KEVIN
Why do I get treated like scum?

Kevin's mom pays the pizza delivery boy.

KEVIN'S MOM
I'm sorry. This house is just crazy.
We've got all these extra kids running around.
My brother's in from Ohio. It's nuts.

KEVIN
How come you didn't bring more cheese pizzas?

PIZZA DELIVERY BOY
Nice tip. Thanks.

KEVIN'S MOM
Thanks.

HARRY
Having a reunion?

KEVIN'S MOM
My husband's brother transferred
to Paris. His kids are still here.

Harry smiles and shows a gold tooth.

KEVIN'S MOM
"He missed the family, so he invited us to Paris
...so we'll be together."

HARRY
You're taking a trip to Paris?

KEVIN'S MOM
Yes, we leave tomorrow morning.

HARRY
Excellent. Excellent.

KEVIN'S MOM
If you'll excuse me, this one's a little out of sorts.

HARRY
Don't worry about me. I spoke to your husband.
And don't worry about your home. It's in good hands.

Harry smiles and leaves.  Kevin's mom scolds him.

KEVIN'S MOM
15 people in this house, and only you have to make trouble.

KEVIN
I'm getting dumped on.

Kevin's mom leads Kevin upstairs.

KEVIN'S MOM
You're the only one acting up. Now get upstairs.

KEVIN
I am upstairs, dummy!

Kevin's mom opens the door to the attic.  Kevin goes upstairs.

KEVIN
The third floor?

KEVIN'S MOM
Go.

KEVIN
It's scary up there.

KEVIN'S MOM
Fuller'll be up in a while.

KEVIN
I don't want to sleep with Fuller. He wets the bed.
He'll pee all over me. I know it.

KEVIN'S MOM
We'll put him somewhere else.

KEVIN
I'm sorry.

KEVIN'S MOM
It's too late. Get upstairs.

KEVIN
Everyone in this family hates me!

KEVIN'S MOM
Then ask Santa for a new family.

KEVIN
I don't want a new family. I don't want any family. Families suck!

KEVIN'S MOM
Stay up there. I don't want to see you again tonight.

KEVIN
I don't want to see you for the rest of my life.
I don't want to see anybody else either.

KEVIN'S MOM
I hope you don't mean that. You'd feel pretty sad if you woke up
and didn't have a family.

KEVIN
No, I wouldn't.

KEVIN'S MOM
Then say it again. Maybe it'll happen.

KEVIN
I hope I never see any of you jerks again!

KEVIN
I wish they would all just disappear.

At night, wind blows through the trees in front of Kevin's house.
A tree branch breaks and falls on some power lines, causing an
electrical blackout. The lights go out in Kevin's house.

EXT. KEVIN'S HOUSE: DAY
A man is knocking on the front door.
Two airport express vans are parked in
front of the house.

DRIVER1
Where are they?

DRIVER2
I don't know. She said 8.

INT. BEDROOM: DAY
Because of the power stoppage, Kevin's family oversleeps.
Kevin's mom is in a panic.

KEVIN'S MOM
Peter! We slept in!

KEVIN'S DAD
We slept in!

EXT. KEVIN'S HOUSE: DAY
A boy walks towards the van from across the street.

MITCH
Hi, I'm Mitch Murphy. I live across the street.
You guys going out of town? We're going to Florida.
Well, first we're going to Missouri to pick up my grandma.
You know the McCallisters are going to France?
Do you know if it's cold? Do these vans get good mileage?

DRIVER
Kid, I don't know. Hit the road!

INT. KEVIN'S HOUSE: DAY
Kevin's mom speaks to Heather.

KEVIN'S MOM
Do a head count. Get everyone in the vans.

KEVIN'S MOM
Where are the passports?

KEVIN'S DAD
I put them in the microwave to dry.

EXT. FRONT OF KEVIN'S HOUSE: DAY
Mitch is sitting in a van next to a driver.

MITCH
How fast does this go?
Does it have automatic transmission?
Does it have 4-wheel drive?

DRIVER
Look, I told you before, kid.
Don't bother me. Now, beat it!

HEATHER
Line up in front of the van. Line up and shut up!

Mitch is inside one of the vans.
He opens up one of the traveling cases, takes out a
camera, and takes a photo of the inside of the van.

MITCH
Wow!

HEATHER
Shut up! I gotta take a head count. One, two, three...

BUZZ
Eleven, 92, 12...

Heather counts Mitch.

HEATHER
Buzz, don't be a moron. Six, seven, eight...nine, 10, 11.
Okay, half in this van, half in this one. Let's go.

MITCH
Have a good trip. Bring me back something French.

UNCLE FRANK
There's no way we'll make this plane. It leaves in 45 minutes.

KEVIN'S DAD
Think positive!

UNCLE FRANK
You be positive. I'll be realistic.

A MAN
Ma'am. Ma'am. Excuse me, your power is fixed but the phones are a mess.
It'll take a couple of days to fix. Especially around the holidays.

KEVIN'S MOM (TO A MAN)
Thanks.

KEVIN'S MOM (TO HEATHER)
Did you count heads?

HEATHER
Eleven, including me. Five boys, six girls, two drivers and a partridge
in a pear tree.

INT. AIRPORT TERMINAL
The family is running.

KEVIN'S DAD
Hold the plane!

KEVIN'S MOM
Did we miss it?

AIRPORT STAFF
You just made it.

KEVIN'S FAMILY
Yay!

KEVIN'S　MOM
Single seats only in coach. Take whatever's free.

CHILDREN
I get a window seat!

KEVIN'S　MOM
Kids are in coach, we're front.
Seats Four A and B.Four A and B.

CABIN ATTENDANT
I'll take your coats. Fasten your seat belts.

KEVIN'S　MOM
Champagne, please.

UNCLE FRANK
It's free, isn't it?

CABIN ATTENDANT
Oh, yes.

KEVIN'S　DAD
We made it.

KEVIN'S　MOM
Do you believe it? Hope we didn't forget anything.
What are you doing out of costume?

INT.KEVIN'S HOUSE
Kevin wakes up and the airplane takes off.  Kevin comes downstairs.

KEVIN
Mom?

INT. AIRPLANE
Uncle Frank is looking at the champagne glasses.

UNCLE　FRANK
That's real. It's real crystal.

AUNT　LESLIE
Yeah, so?

UNCLE　FRANK
Put them in your purse.

AUNT　LESLIE
Frank, I can't do that.

UNCLE　FRANK
Just... Put them in your purse! Yeah. Fill it up. Fill it up.
Fill it up, please. Thank you.

KEVIN'S　MOM
Don't you feel like a heel, flying first class with the kids in coach?

KEVIN'S　DAD
No. The kids are fine. The only time I ever flew as a kid was in the station wagon, not to France.
We had to go to Aunt Laura and Uncle Arthur's. Kids are okay.  They're having the time of their lives.

INT. KEVIN'S HOUSE
Kevin is walking around looking for everyone.

KEVIN
Hello? Mom? Dad? Where are you guys? Buzz?
Megan?Hello?

Hello? Rod? Uncle Frank? Uncle Frank, is this a joke?
Megan? Linnie? Is this a joke?

Kevin goes downstairs.  He imagines the furnace is a monster.

KEVIN
It's only my imagination. Only my imagination.

EXT. KEVIN'S HOUSE
Kevin goes outside and checks the cars in the garage.

KEVIN
The cars are still here. They didn't go to the airport!

INT. KEVIN'S HOUSE
Kevin thinks for a moment.

KEVIN
I made my family disappear.

Then Kevin remembers everything his family told him.

MEGAN
You're completely helpless.

LINNIE
You know, Kevin, you're what the French call les incompetents.

BUZZ
Kevin, I'm going to feed you to my tarantula.

JEFF
Kevin, you are such a disease.

KEVIN'S MOM
Fifteen people, and you're the only one who has to make trouble.

UNCLE FRANK
Look what you did, you little jerk!

KEVIN
I made my family disappear.

Kevin celebrates.  He runs around the house, very happy.

KEVIN
I'm free! Woo-hoo! Wow!

INT. BUZZ'S ROOM
Kevin is looking through Buzz's magazines.

KEVIN
No clothes on anybody. Sickening!

He finds firecrackers in Buzz's closet.

KEVIN
Cool! Firecrackers! I'll save these for later.

Kevin calls out to the empty house.

KEVIN
Buzz, I'm going through all your private stuff.
You better come out and pound me!

Kevin looks at a picture of Buzz's girlfriend.

KEVIN
Buzz, your girlfriend! Woof!

INT. LIVING ROOM
Kevin is watching a gangster movie on TV and eating ice cream.

JOHNNY
Who is it?

SNAKES
It's me. Snakes. I got the stuff.

JOHNNY
Leave it on the doorstep and get the hell out.

SNAKES
All right, Johnny, but what about my money?

JOHNNY
What money?

SNAKES
A. C. Said you had some dough for me.

JOHNNY
Is that a fact? How much do I owe you?

SNAKES
A. C. Said ten percent.

JOHNNY
Too bad A. C. Ain't in charge no more.

Kevin calls out to the empty house.

KEVIN
Guys, I'm eating junk and watching rubbish!
You better come out and stop me!

JOHNNY
He'll call you when he gets out. I'll tell you what I'll give you.
I'm gonna give you to the count of ten...to get your ugly, yellow...
no-good keister off my property...before I pump your guts full of lead.

SNAKES
All right, I'm sorry. I'm going.

JOHNNY
One, two... ten.

Johnny shoots Snakes with a machine gun.

JOHNNY
Keep the change, you filthy animal.

Kevin covers his eyes.

KEVIN
Mom!

INT. AIRPLANE
Kevin's mom and dad are talking.

KEVIN'S MOM
What's the matter? Honey?

KEVIN'S DAD
I have a terrible feeling.

KEVIN'S MOM
About what?

KEVIN'S DAD
That we didn't do something.

KEVIN'S MOM
You feel that way because we left in a hurry. We took care of everything.

KEVIN'S DAD
Did I turn off the coffee?

KEVIN'S MOM
No. I did.

KEVIN'S DAD
Did you lock up?

KEVIN'S MOM
Yeah.

KEVIN'S DAD
Did you close the garage?

KEVIN'S MOM
That's it.

KEVIN'S DAD
I forgot to close the garage. That's it.

KEVIN'S MOM
No, that's not it. What else could we forget?

Kevin's mom opens her eyes wide.

KEVIN'S MOM
Kevin!

INT. KEVIN'S HOUSE
Kevin is having fun sledding down the stairs.

KEVIN
Whoa! Oof!

INT. AIRPLANE
The cabin attendant is trying to console Kevin's parents.

CABIN ATTENDANT
The captain's doing all he can. Your phones are out of order.

KEVIN'S DAD
We'll call when we land.

CABIN ATTENDANT
I'm sure it's okay.

UNCLE FRANK
Horrible. Horrible. Just horrible.

KEVIN'S MOM
How could we do this? We forgot him.

KEVIN'S DAD
We didn't forget him, we just miscounted.

KEVIN'S MOM
What kind of mother am I?

UNCLE FRANK
If it makes you feel any better, I forgot my reading glasses.

Everyone stares at Uncle Frank in disbelief.

INT. VAN
Harry and Marv are planning their burglaries.  They are looking at the street with pleasure.

HARRY
Five families gone on one block alone. They all told me
from their own mouths. It's almost too easy.

Harry begins pointing at houses.

HARRY
Check it out: All the houses with nobody home...have automatic timers on their lights. But I got
it all figured out. Watch this. Number 664 will be going on right about...now.

The lights come on.  Marv laughs.

HARRY
Wait, wait, wait. Number 672...

HARRY
...right now.
The lights come on again.

HARRY
Wait a minute...now. And that's the one, Marvin. That's the silver tuna.

MARV
It's very G.

HARRY
Very G, huh? It's loaded. It's got lots of top-flight goods. Stereos, VCRs...

MARV
Toys?

HARRY
Probably looking at some very fine jewelry. Possible cash horde.
Odd marketable securities. Who knows? It's a gem. Grab your crowbar.

MARV
Crowbars up.

Harry and Marv touch crowbars, and smile.

INT. LIVING ROOM
Kevin is watching a cartoon on TV.

CARTOON
You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch
You're the king
Of sinful sots
Your heart's a dead tomato
Blotched with moldy purple spots,
Mr. Grinch
You're a three-decker

EXT. KEVIN'S HOUSE
Harry and Marv are getting ready to break into the house.

MARV
Which way?

HARRY
We'll go around back, down the basement.

They see the lights on.

MARV
You said they were gone.

HARRY
They were gonna leave today. Let's get out of here.

INT. AIRPORT
Kevin's parents are trying to use a public phone.  Someone else is using it.

KEVIN'S MOM
We have to use the phone, please. It's an emergency. We really have to make a call.

LINNIE
Please! Our brother's home alone.

KEVIN'S MOM
Give us the phone!

Kevin's mom takes the phone by force.

KEVIN'S MOM
I'm sorry. Thank you.

Kevin's mom talks to Kevin's dad.

KEVIN'S MOM (TO KEVIN'S DAD)
I'm calling the police. Book us a flight home. Get change out of here.

KEVIN'S MOM (TO AUNT LESLIE)
Call everybody you know. Here's my address book. You and Frank
call everyone on our street. Maybe somebody can help us.

KEVIN'S MOM (ON PHONE)
Hello? Hello? Oh, she'll have to call you back.

Questions
1.  Why is Harry dressed as a policeman?
2.  Why does Kevin's family leave without him?
3.  What is Kevin's reaction to his family's disappearance?
