( Christmas Memories of 1992 kids ) Home Alone 2 Walking In The Street Blonde Woman Scene
2Plot
The McCallister family is busy packing up and planning to spend Christmas in Miami. The evening before departure, they all gather at Kate and Peter's, who are now living in Winnetka, Illinois. Kevin views Florida as contradictory to Christmas, due to its tropical climate and lack of Christmas trees.
At a school Christmas pageant, during Kevin's solo, Buzz, who is also part of the choir, provokes and embarrasses him. An enraged Kevin retaliates by pushing him, which causes the entire choir to fall, ruining the pageant.
Back at home, Buzz makes a false apology to Kevin, which the family accepts, though Kevin refuses to apologize for his retaliatory stunt and berates his family for believing Buzz's lies and for wanting to spend Christmas in Florida. Kevin storms off to the attic, wishing to have his own vacation alone.
The next morning, the family oversleeps and rushes to the airport as they did the previous year. Kevin is with them this time, but he becomes separated from them while carrying Peter's bag and accidentally boards a flight to NYC. Upon arrival, Kevin decides to tour the city and encounters a homeless woman tending to pigeons in Central Park, who scares him off. Kevin uses Peter's credit card to check in at the Plaza Hotel, not knowing that the Wet Bandits (now the Sticky Bandits) have also reached the city after escaping from prison.
On Christmas Eve, Kevin visits a toy store whose kind owner, Mr. Duncan, plans to donate the day's sale proceeds to a children's hospital. After Kevin makes a donation, Mr. Duncan gives him a pair of ceramic turtledoves in thanks, instructing him to give one to another person as a gesture of eternal friendship.
After encountering the Wet Bandits outside the toy store, Kevin evades them and the concierge at the Plaza, Mr. Hector, confronts Kevin about his use of Peter's credit card, now reported as stolen. Kevin flees the hotel but is caught by the duo. Marv mentions his and Harry's plan to rob the toy store before Kevin escapes by tricking a female passerby into punching the men.
Earlier, upon landing in Miami, the McCallister family discover that Kevin is missing and file a report with the Miami Police Department. After the police trace Peter's credit card, the family immediately flies to New York. Meanwhile, Kevin goes to his uncle Rob's Upper West Side townhouse, only to find it vacant and undergoing renovations.
In Central Park, Kevin again encounters and eventually befriends the pigeon lady, who takes him to Carnegie Hall. After she explains how her life collapsed when her love left her, Kevin encourages her to trust people again. Upon considering her recommendation to perform a good deed to make up for his misdeeds and, after recalling Mr. Duncan and the Sticky Bandits' plans, Kevin decides to prevent the toy store robbery.
After rigging the townhouse with booby traps, Kevin catches the Sticky Bandits in the process of robbing the store, takes their picture and breaks the front window to set off the alarm. Kevin then lures the Sticky Bandits to the townhouse where they repeatedly injure themselves in the traps; escaping the townhouse, he calls the police from a pay phone to alert them to the pair's presence and flees toward Central Park.
The Sticky Bandits catch Kevin after he slips on ice and prepare to shoot him, but the pigeon lady shows up and throws a bucket of birdseed onto them, attracting a massive flock of pigeons and incapacitating the pair until the police arrive to arrest them. Kevin slips away, leaving photographic and tape-recorded evidence against the duo, and Mr. Duncan recovers all the donation money, finding a note from Kevin explaining the incident. The McCallister family arrives in New York, and Kate, remembering Kevin's fondness for Christmas trees, finds him making a wish at the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, and they reunite.
On Christmas morning, a truckload of free gifts arrives at the McCallisters' hotel room, sent from a grateful Mr. Duncan for foiling the robbery. Kevin reconciles with his family and gives one of his turtledoves to the pigeon lady, cementing their friendship, before Peter yells at him from the hotel room for amassing a $967 room service bill.
