  • I took a shower, washing every body part with actual soap, including all my major crevices, including in between my toes and in my belly button, which I never did before but sort of enjoyed. I washed my hair with adult-formula shampoo and used cream rinse for that just-washed shine. I can't seem to find my toothbrush, so I'll pick one up when I go out today. Other than that, I'm in good shape. [applies aftershave; pretends to scream]
  • This is my house! I have to defend it!
  • I made my family disappear.
  • I hope that I never see any of you jerks again!
  • Did anyone order me plain cheese?
  • You guys give up? Or ya thirsty for more?
  • Hello. My house is being robbed. My
    address is   Lincoln Boulevard. My name's Murphy.

Dialogue

edit
Kate: There are 15 people in this house. You're the only one who has to make trouble.
Kevin: I'm the only one getting dumped on.
Kate: You're the only one actin' up. Now, get upstairs.
Kevin: I am upstairs, dummy. The third floor?
Kate: Go.
Kevin: It's scary up there.
Kate: Don't be silly. Fuller will be up in a little while.
Kevin: I don't wanna sleep with Fuller. You know about him. He wets the bed. He'll pee all over me. I know it!
Kate: Fine. We'll put him somewhere else.
Kevin: I'm sorry.
Kate: It's too late. Get upstairs.
Kevin: Everyone in this family hates me.
Kate: Then maybe you should ask Santa for a new family.
Kevin: I don't want a new family. I don't want any family. Families suck!
Kate: Just stay up there. I don't wanna see you again for the rest of the night.
Kevin: I don't wanna see you again for the rest of my whole life. And I don't wanna see anybody else, either.
Kate: [hurt] I hope you don't mean that. You'd feel pretty sad if you woke up tomorrow morning and you didn't have a family.
Kevin: No, I wouldn't.
Kate: Then say it again. Maybe it'll happen.
Kevin: I hope that I never see any of you jerks again! [runs upstairs in a huff, and Kate closes the door]
[tree branch breaks, power lines and alarm clock resetting]

Kevin: I made my family disappear! [has a flashback to what his family told him the night before]
Megan: Kevin, you're completely helpless.
Linnie: You know, Kevin, you're what the French call les incompétents.
Buzz: Kevin, I'm going to feed you to my tarantula.
Jeff: Kevin, you are such a disease!
Kate: There are 15 people in this house, and you're the only one who has to make trouble.
Frank: Look what you did, you little jerk!
Kevin: [smiles] I made my family disappear.

Frank: There's no way on Earth we're gonna make this plane. It leaves in   minutes.

Johnny: Is that a fact? How much do I owe you?
Snakes: Acey said 10%.
Johnny: Too bad Acey ain't in charge no more.
Snakes: What do you mean?

Harry: [to Kevin] It's too late for you, kid! We're already in the house! I'm gonna get you!

Harry: Hiya, pal. We outsmarted you this time. Get over here!
Marv: What are we gonna do him, Harry?!
Harry: We'll do exactly what we 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]
