I don't know how to pack a suitcase. I've never done it once in my whole life!

Jeff

Tough.

That's what Megan said.

What did I say?

Jeff

You told Kevin "Tough".

The dope was whining about a suitcase. What was I supposed to do, shake his hand and say, "Congratulations, you're an idiot"?

I'm not an idiot!

Oh, really? You're completely helpless! Everyone has to do everything for you.

Jeff

She's right, Kev.

Excuse me, puke-breath, I'm a lot smaller than you! I don't know how to pack a suitcase!

Linnie

Hey, I hope you didn't just pack crap, Jeff.

Jeff

Shut up, Linnie.

You know what I should pack?

Jeff

Buzz told you, cheek-face. Toilet paper and water.

Linnie

Listen, Kev, what are you so worried about? You know Mom's gonna pack your stuff anyway. You're what the French call "les incompetents".

What?

Jeff
[throws his bag down the stairs which lands at Harry's feet]

Bombs away!

Linnie

P.S. You have to sleep on the hide-a-bed with Fuller. If he has something to drink, he's gonna wet the bed.

This house is so full of people, it made me sick! When I grow up and get married, I am living alone! [jumps up and down in frustration as Harry looks up at him] Did you hear me? I am living alone! I am living alone!

Rod
[taps on the spider's tank]

Who's gonna feed your spider while we're gone?

He just ate a load of mice guts. He should be good for a couple weeks. Is it true French babes don't shave their pits?

Rod

Some don't.

But they got nude beaches.

Rod

Not in the winter.

Buzz?

Don't you know how to knock, phlegm-wad?

Can I sleep in your room? I don't wanna sleep with Fuller. If he has something to drink, he'll wet the bed.

I wouldn't let you sleep in my room if you were growing on my (deleted)! Check it out. Old man Marley.

Rod

Who's he?

You ever heard of the South Bend Shovel Slayer?

Rod

No.

That's him. Back in '58, he murdered his whole family and half the people on this block... with a snow shovel. Been hiding out in this neighborhood ever since.

Rod

If he's the shovel slayer, how come the cops don't arrest him?

Not enough evidence to convict. They never found the bodies. But everyone around here knows he did it. It'll just be a matter of time... before he does it again.

Rod

What's he doing now?

He walks up and down the streets every night... salting the sidewalks.

Rod

Maybe he's just trying to be nice.

No way. See that garbage can full of salt? That's where he keeps his victims. The salt turns the bodies into mummies.

[whispering]

Mummies!

[as Marley spots them, he quickly closes the curtains]

Yeow! Look out!

[to Kevin]

What is the matter with you?!

He started it! He ate my pizza on purpose! He knows I'd hate sausage, and olives, and onions, and...

Uncle Frank
[cutting him off]

Look what you did, you little jerk!

[Everyone goes quiet, looking at Kevin]

Kevin, get upstairs right now.

Why?

Jeff

Kevin, you're such a disease.

Shut up!

Kevin, upstairs!

Say good night, Kevin.

[sarcastically]

"Good night, Kevin". Why do I always get treated like scum?

[to Pizza Boy]

Oh, I am sorry. This house is just crazy. We've got all these extra kids running around. My brother-in-law drove in from Ohio today. It's just nuts.

How come you didn't bring any more cheese pizzas?

Pizza Boy

Nice tip. Thanks a lot.

Thanks.

Having a reunion or something?

My husband's brother transferred to Paris last year. His kids are still there. He missed the family, so he invited us to Paris so we can be together.

You're taking a trip to Paris?

Yes, we hope to leave tomorrow morning.

Excellent, excellent.

If you'll excuse me, this one's a little out of sorts. I'll be right back.

Don't worry about me. I spoke to your husband already. And don't worry about your home. It's in good hands.

[escorting Kevin to the attic after he caused trouble in the kitchen]

There are 15 people in this house. You're the only one who has to make trouble.

I'm the only one getting dumped on.

You're the only one actin' up. Now, get upstairs.

I am upstairs, dummy. Third floor?

Go there.

It's scary up there.

Don't be silly. Fuller will be up in a little while.

I don't wanna sleep with Fuller. You know about him. He wets the bed. He'll pee all over me. I know it!

Fine. We'll put him someplace else.

I'm sorry.

It's a tad late. So, get upstairs.

Everyone in this family hates me.

Then, maybe you should ask Santa for a new family.

I don't want a new family! I don't want any family! Families suck!

Just stay up there. I don't wanna see you again for the rest of the night.

I don't wanna see you again for the rest of my whole life. And I don't wanna see anybody else, either.

[feeling 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.

No, I wouldn't.

Then, say it again. Maybe it'll happen.

I hope that I never see any of you jerks again! [runs upstairs in a huff, and Kate closes the door]

Suit yourself.

I made my family disappear! [has a flashback to what his family told him the night before]

Kevin, you're completely helpless.

Linnie

You know, Kevin, you're what the French call "les incompetents."

Kevin, I'm going to feed you to my tarantula.

Jeff

Kevin, you are such a disease!

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!

[smiles, to himself]

I made my family disappear.
