Home Alone Abandonment Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Home Alone.

Quote #1

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! I'm living alone!

Kevin gets his wish sooner than he expects…but he discovers that solitude isn't the bliss he expects it to be. Although he has freedom, he needs people to share his life with.

Quote #2

KATE: How could we do this? We forgot him.

PETER: We didn't forget him. We just miscounted.

KATE: What kind of mother am I?

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

Uncle Frank takes forgetting Kevin pretty easily—he's laid-back about it. It shows that he's kind of a jerk, comparing a kid to a pair of reading glasses.

Quote #3

MEGAN: You're not at all worried that something might happen to Kevin?

BUZZ: No, for three reasons: A, I'm not that lucky. Two, we use smoke detectors and D, we live on the most boring street in the whole United States of America, where nothing even remotely dangerous will ever happen. Period.

Buzz acts like he doesn't care about Kevin...but maybe behind his idiotic justification for his lack of worry, there's a hint that he really does care, and he's just trying to cover it up? Maybe?
