It’s such a memorable scene! The way Kevin uses that movie to outsmart the burglars is both hilarious and clever. Do you enjoy any other Christmas movies, or is "Home Alone" your top choice?
Sure! In that scene, Kevin answers the door and is startled by the pizza delivery guy. Here’s a little recreation of the dialogue:
Pizza Delivery Guy: knocks "Pizza's here!"
Kevin: peeks through the door "Who are you?"
Pizza Delivery Guy: "I'm the pizza guy! You ordered a large pizza?"
Kevin: "I didn't order any pizza."
Pizza Delivery Guy: "Well, you gotta pay for it then."
Kevin: "I don't have any money!"
Pizza Delivery Guy: becoming suspicious "What do you mean you don’t have any money?"
Kevin: "I’m not gonna open the door!"
Pizza Delivery Guy: "Come on, kid, I can’t leave without payment!"
Kevin: grinning while holding a fake gun and using a toy gun sound effect "Okay, you asked for it. Keep the change, ya filthy animal!"
That scene perfectly captures Kevin's mischievous spirit! It’s both funny and a little intense. What else do you like about that moment?
That's right! Kevin cleverly uses a scene from a fictional gangster film to intimidate the pizza delivery guy. He plays the audio from the movie, which makes it sound like there are adults in the house, and the lines add to the confusion and fear for the pizza guy.
Here’s how it goes down:
Kevin sets up the scenario by playing the movie clip loudly:
Movie Clip Voice: “Look what you did, you little jerk!”
While the guy outside hears the sounds, Kevin speaks back:
Kevin: "Keep the change, ya filthy animal!"
The delivery guy, hearing the commotion and the authoritative voice from the movie, gets spooked and leaves. It’s such a clever and resourceful way for Kevin to keep himself safe!
It really showcases his ingenuity, doesn't it? Do you like that aspect of his character—how he thinks on his feet?
You're absolutely right! It's the combination of the audio effects from the movie and the sound of the toy gun that really freaks out the pizza delivery guy. Kevin effectively uses the gun sound, along with the intimidating lines from the movie, to create the illusion that he’s not alone and that he has something to defend himself with.
That moment perfectly highlights Kevin's cleverness and quick thinking, turning a scary situation into one where he feels in control. Thanks for pointing that out! It’s such an iconic scene. What else do you love about Kevin’s antics in "Home Alone"?
