  • 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!

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. In his room, Kevin lies in his bed and thinks for a moment.] (in his head) I wish they would all just disappear…
