History Awesome / HomeAlone

* '''Kevin:''' You guys give up, or you thirsty for ''more''? Macaulay Culkin improvised that line.

* The massed McAllisters making their flight to France.

* Kevin using the "Angels with Filthy Souls" movie to scare the pizza delivery boy.
** And later when he does the same to Marv, only this time he adds firecrackers to make the gunshots seem more real.

* Kevin's traps, ''all'' of them. Adding to awesomeness is the "Setting the Trap" song, which makes it sound like Kevin is setting up for a Christmas-themed war.
** The segue into the "Setting the Trap" music from the church choir singing "Carol of the Bells".
** Kevin manages to set them all up in the span of ''less than an hour'' which includes rushing back home from church and even having enough time to cook dinner for himself.

* Harry's [[GroinAttack crotch]], Marv's face, meet BB gun.
* '''Kevin:''' You guys give up, or you thirsty for ''more''?
** Better: Macaulay Culkin improvised that line.
* Old Man Marley [[BigDamnHeroes comes to Kevin's rescue]] ''literally'' JustInTime and hits Marv and Harry with a shovel.

-->'''Kate:''' The way I'm feeling right now, [[MamaBear no mugger or murderer would ''dare'' mess with me]]!

* Old Man Marley [[BigDamnHeroes comes to Kevin's rescue]] literally ''JustInTime'' and hits Marv and Harry with a shovel.

* The first hint that Kevin is growing up is his demonstrating getting over his fear of the basement by simply snapping "[[ShutUpHannibal Shut up!]]" at the previously scary furnace.

* The first hint that Kevin is growing up is his demonstrating getting over his fear of the basement by simply snapping "[[ShutUpHannibal Shut up!]]" at the previously scary heating grill.

* '''Kevin:''' You guys give up? Or are you thirsty for ''more''?

* Kevin's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to his whole family, topping it off by [[ShutUpHannibal calling his uncle Frank a cheapskate]]. What makes this even better is the look his parents exchange after he leaves--it's less one of anger or indignance and more "How did he ''peg'' him so well?!" Not to mention Fuller and ''Frank himself'' being just as stunned. It's even more satisfying in light of the events from the first movie. Frank called Kevin a "little jerk" during the pizza scene which [[StunnedSilence stopped him]] from explaining to his mother his side of the story. [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty Kevin finally got back at him for that]].

* Kevin scaring the Concierge out of his suite by using his uncle's singing and his inflatable Bozo the Clown pool toy.

* The entire premise of the trap sequence wasn't just to save himself or to save his family, but to literally save Christmas for New York City and the homeless children.

* The pigeon lady pulls off an awesome BigDamnHeroes moment by distracting Marv and Harry from shooting Kevin and then throwing pigeon food on them.

* Kate figuring out that Kevin is at Rockefeller Center, home of a huge Christmas tree. Their subsequent reunion is a cross between awesome and heartwarming.

* Alex taking out all four of the baddies through a series of [[BatmanGambit Batman Gambits]] and XanatosSpeedChess, with only objects lying around his house, his pet rat, and his brother's talking parrot. By the time the police arrive, three out of four of the spies have been caught in his traps, with the leader being caught by the parrot a bit later. No matter what you think of this movie, there's no denying Alex is one Badass kid.

--> '''Kevin''': I'm not sorry! I did what I did because Buzz humiliated me. And since he gets away with everything, I let him have it. And since you're all so ''stupid'' to believe his lies, I don't care if your idiotic Florida trip gets wrenched or not! Who wants to spend Christmas in a tropical climate anyway? ''(He begins to walk out of the room)''

--> '''Peter''': Kevin, you walk out of here, you sleep on the third floor.

--> '''Uncle Frank''': You better not wreck my trip you little sourpuss. Your dad's paying good money for it.
--> '''Kevin''': [[SarcasmMode Oh, I wouldn't wanna ruin your fun, Mr. Cheapskate]]. ''(Kevin walks out of the room; cue MassOhCrap from Frank, Fuller, Kate and Peter.''
* Kevin scaring the Concierge out of his suite by using his Uncle Frank's singing and his inflatable Bozo the Clown pool toy.

* Kevin's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to his whole family.

** He tops it off by [[ShutUpHannibal telling off Uncle Frank]], calling him a cheapskate.

--> ''Cue MassOhCrap from the four aformentioned characters.''

* Kevin using the "Angels with Filthy Souls" movie to scare the pizza delivery boy.
** And later when he does the same to Marv, only this time he adds firecrackers to make the gunshots real.
* Kevin staging a huge Christmas party with mannequins and a Michael Jordan cutout to deter Harry and Marv. Complete with "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" by Brenda Lee.
* Harry's [[GroinAttack crotch]], Marv's face, meet BB gun.
* Old Man Marley [[BigDamnHeroes comes to Kevin's rescue]] literally ''JustInTime'' and hits Marv and Harry with a shovel.
** To the Wet Bandits' credit, they themselves pull off an impressive moment by managing to ''outsmart Kevin.''

* Again, the traps. "Setting the Trap" returns as well.
* The pigeon lady pulls off an awesome BigDamnHeroes moment by distracting Marv and Harry from shooting Kevin and then throwing pigeon food on them.
* Kevin's mom slapping the Concierge.
* Previously, when Peter suggests that Kate stay at the hotel, she tells him she is willing to search the streets of New York for Kevin.
-->'''Kate:''' The way I'm feeling right now, no mugger or murderer would ''dare'' mess with me!

* When Harry and Marv are arrested and make fools of themselves in front of the cops, the head officer says in an annoyed, "I don't have time for this" tone, "Get 'em outta here."
* The entire premise of the trap sequence wasn't just to save himself or to save his family, but to literally save Christmas for New York City and the homeless children.
-->'''Kevin:''' You can mess with a lot of things, but [[ThisIsUnforgivable you can't mess with kids at Christmas]]!
** It also comes with another brilliant musical segue, this time from the touching and tear-jerky "Christmas Star" to the good old "Setting the Traps".
** Even better, Kevin's plan to expose Harry and Marv is beautiful in its simplicity. When they break into the Duncan's Toy Store to rob the donation boxes, Kevin gets their attention and snaps a polaroid of them in the act. He then hurls a rock with a note through the window to activate the security alarm to distract the thieves so they'll leave the cash alone (Mr. Duncan and the cops later confirm the cash is safe). When the police finally catch them, Kevin made sure to leave a tape he recorded with his Talkboy of the thieves confessing not only of their plan to rob the toy store, but murder Kevin when they're done. In short, Kevin presented an orgy of evidence for the cops and ran off into the night to find his family. MagnificentBastard much?

* Marv gets one when Kevin tauntingly asks them if they have given up/had enough pain. He yells 'NEVER!' defiantly.

--> '''Kevin''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, I wouldn't wanna ruin your fun, Mr. Cheapskate]]. ''(Kevin walks out of the room)''
