Kate McCallister: He was in the garage again playing with the glue gun.
Peter McCallister: Didn't we talk about that?
Kevin: Did I burn down the joint? I don't think so. I was making ornaments out of fish-hooks.
Peter McCallister: My new fish-hooks?
Kevin: I can't make ornaments out of the old ones, with dry worm guts stuck on them.
Kevin: This house is so full of people it makes me sick. When I grow up and get married, I'm living alone. DID YOU HEAR ME? I'M LIVING ALONE!!!
Buzz: You ever hear of the South Bend Shovel Slayer?" asks Buzz.
Cousin: No.
Buzz: That's him. Back in'58 he murdered his whole family and half the people on the block with the snow shovel. Been hiding out in this neighborhood ever since.
Cousin: Well, 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, but everyone around here knows he did it. And it will just be a matter of time before he does it again.
Cousin: What's he doing now?
Buzz: He walks up and down the street every night salting the sidewalks.
Cousin: Maybe he's trying to be nice.
Buzz: No way. See that garbage can filled with salt. that's where he keeps his victims. The salt turns the bodies into mummies.
Kate McCallister: There are fifteen people in this house. You're the only one who has to make trouble.
Kevin: I'm the only one getting dumped on.
Kate McCallister: You're the only one acting up. Now get upstairs.
Kevin: I am upstairs, dummy. (Kay opens the door to the attic.) The third floor?
Kate McCallister: Go!
Kevin: It's scary up there.
Kate McCallister: Don't be silly. Fuller will be up there in a little while.
