  • Home Alone 3 has bad guys who are supposed to be highly trained spies. Watching them fall for Alex's traps is absolutely hilarious.
  • Alex is in the bathroom when he realizes he has chicken pox and screams. In her bedroom, Molly calls out, "Alex slammed the toilet seat on his thing again!" Jack, on the phone downstairs, gives this as an excuse to hang up. If you listen closely, it sounds like the person he's talking to lets out a noise of sympathy.
  • After Alex's first call, the police arrive at the Stephens' house, yelling out "Freeze!" Their dog then pauses in mid-step.
  • Alice's pants ripping and the exchange that follows.
    Alice: I need assistance. I'm exposed.
    Jernigan: Maintain your position. Do not, I repeat, do not draw attention to yourself.
  • Jernigan hitting Unger with their minivan. Then later, they have this exchange while reflecting on it.
    Unger: I can't tell you how much I appreciate you hitting me with the minivan.
    Jernigan: Never let your emotions get the best of you. You weren't paying attention. You should have been more vigilant.
    Unger: You should've taken driver's ed. I'm gonna have bad knees when I'm old, and I'll have Burton Jernigan to thank.
  • Unger and Jernigan getting shocked by cutting live wires and sitting on an electrified chair respectively (and simultaneously). Before cutting the wire, Unger says this.
    Unger: It's been a long time since I was a kid. You forget how incredibly stupid they are.
  • Alice assessing the results of Beaupre and Unger getting clobbered by a trunk of books, followed by weights.
    Alice: You got hit with a book?
    Unger: Books. Plural. A trunk full of books. Then, a set of weights. I got hit twice, you dumb broad.
    Alice: Excuse me, Mr. Unger. I didn't get taken down by an infant.
  • Alice tripping two wires releasing flowerpots while going around the side of Alex's house. The first hits her on the head, the second on her face. Bonus points for the little gasp she makes right before she is hit by the second one.
  • Unger getting his shoes stuck in two wheeled Mega Bloks buckets filled with adhesive. This leads to him helplessly rolling down hallways and falling down the basement stairs. When he lands in the basement, he gets his fingers caught in a mousetrap. He then accidentally shoots his gun towards the sewer pipe which unloads on him.
  • Unger sees Jernigan sitting on a broken toilet.
    Unger: Are you almost done in there?
    Jernigan: Don't... start with me.
    Unger: I'll wait.
  • Alice sees Doris running up Jernigan's pant leg. She misses with her club, giving Jernigan an Instant Soprano scream. And then there's what he says after that.
    Jernigan: You smacked my winkie!
    Alice: Well, if you changed your shorts once in a while, maybe you wouldn't have RATS in your pants!
  • In Mrs. Hess's garage, Beaupre confronts Alex about the chip, but his plan goes awry when he finds out that he accidentally grabbed a dart gun instead of his real one:
    Alex: That doesn't belong to you either.
    Beaupre: What?
    Alex: That's not your gun.
    Beaupre: (fires dart gun)
    Alex: This is your gun. (points painted bubble gun at Beaupre)
    Beaupre: (backs away cautiously as Alex points painted bubble gun at him)
    Alex: AH!
    Beaupre: (screams and runs away in fear)
    Alex: Gotcha! (fires bubble gun)
  • When the police arrive during the climax to find Unger and Jernigan trapped in the frozen-over swimming pool:
    Police officer: Freeze!
    Unger: You gotta be kidding me.
  • Beaupre hides out in an igloo packed with explosives. Alex's pet parrot shows up to light them, and Beaupre thinks he can use a cracker to convince the parrot otherwise. But he doesn't realize this parrot has higher standards than your average parrot, as demonstrated earlier. "Double or nothin'!" And Beaupre only has ONE cracker on him.
  • The final shots of the movie reveal that all four villains contracted chicken pox from Alex.
