(Tim Curry is a national treasure and I have found no one who disagrees with me. Like CinemaSins said: "We don't care if he's English. We're claiming him.")

----With Kevin and Buzz----

"The Plaza Hotel. New York's most exciting hotel experience."

Kevin looked at Buzz, who was staring at the hotel.

'Alright. But how are we gonna pay?'

Kevin reached in his dad's backpack and pulled out the envolope that held his cash and card.

'Ah. Got it.'

Kevin saw a pigeon fly by and he turned around. An old lady with pigeons on her arms and shoulders turned and looked at Kevin, her gaze meeting his in an uncanny way. Kevin freaked out.

"Sick..."

Kevin then dashed towards the hotel, confusing Buzz.

'Hey! Kevin! Wait up!'

Buzz ran after Kevin, not ever noticing the pigeon lady behind them.

--------

Kevin and Buzz both started walking again and ended up in a small crowd trying to cross the street. They both crossed when everyone else did, both holding hands in order not to get separated, which would be the worst case scenario in a place like New York where it's all unfamiliar. Kevin accidentally bumped someone's shoulder, but he didn't bother looking back.

?: What's the matter?

??: Thought I saw someone.

The man bumped into a lady and he eyed her up and down as she glared daggers at him.

?: Pardonnez moi, mon cherie.

The lady shook her head before slapping him. The other dude punched his shoulder.

??: Serves you right! Come on, let's go.

He walked off as the guy touched his cheek with a blush.

?: I think she likes me...

He then followed behind his partner in crime.

----With Kevin and Buzz----

As the boys entered the hotel, then looked around in awe at how fancy everything was. Fancy chandeliers, lights, doors, walls, everything was admirable. Buzz stopped a man, who turned out the be Donald Trump, to ask for directions.

'Hey. Sir. Where's the lobby?'

DT: Down the hall to the left.

'Thanks.'

Kevin and Buzz both walked down the the lobby. Kevin stopped Buzz, took out his Talkboy, and raised it for him to hear.

TB: Guest of the celebrity Ding-Dang-Dong, stay at the world renown Plaza Hotel! New York's most exciting hotel experience. For reservations, call toll free, 1-800-759-3000.

Buzz and Kevin smirked as they went over to a telephone booth. Buzz took Kevin's Talkboy from him and started recording himself speak.

'Howdy do. This is Peter McCallister. The father. I'd like a hotel room, please. With a extra large bed, a tv, and one of the little refrigerators you have to open with a key.... Credit card? You got it.'

Kevin dialed the number and handed the phone to Buzz.

Caller Lady: Plaza Hotel Reservations, how may I help you?

TB, slowed down to sound believable: Howdy do. This is Peter McCallister. The father.

CL: Yes sir.

TB: I'd like a hotel room, please.
