Gus Polinski Quotes in Home Alone (1990)

Kate McCallister: Have you ever gone on vacation and left your child home?

Gus Polinski: No, no. But I did leave one at a funeral parlor once.

[Off Kate's look]

Gus Polinski: Yeah, it was awful. The wife was distraught and we left the little tyke there in the funeral parlor all day. All day. You know, we went back at night and apparently he had been alone all day with the corpse. He was okay though, after two, three weeks he came around and started talking again...

Kate McCallister: Maybe we shouldn't talk about this.

Gus Polinski: Well, you brought it up.

Kate McCallister: I'm sorry I did.
