Alvin And The Chipmunks Page #4

Synopsis: In a tree farm, three musically inclined chipmunks, Alvin, Simon and Theodore, find their tree cut down and sent to Los Angeles. Once there, they meet the frustrated songwriter David Seville, and despite a poor house wrecking first impression, they impress him with their singing talent. Seeing the opportunity for success, both human and chipmunks make a pact for them to sing his songs. While that ambition proves a frustrating struggle with the difficult trio, the dream does come true after all. However, that success presents its own trials as their unscrupulous record executive, Ian Hawke, plans to break up this family to exploit the boys. Can Dave and the Chipmunks discover what they really value amid the superficial glamor around them?

We're selling millions of this thing.

It's voice activated, say something to it.

Hello ugly little Alvin doll

That looks like nothing Alvin

See, you loved it

It's Spanish.

You know, that's just weird.

Dave. We've got to expand the munks' fan base

I mean, forget about the music. The music is

not a means to the big money.

I am talking about clothing line,

Cologne, Chipmunk winecoolers ...

Ian, but they're just kids.

-- No, they're rats.

And they can make us both so much money

if just let me work with them.

I can't hear you.

The music is too loud.

Don't go against me on this, Dave.

I never lose.

Did anyone try the chocolate meatballs?

Probably take a sugar

Shock, but it is worth it.

What a sweet..sweet meat.

Hey, Alster, love the song, bro.

Up tops!

-- What's up, fella?

So.. i see you enjoy my

little present i put up for you guys

What am I talking about?

You probably eat like this all the time

Well, Dave says he

does not want to spoil us

Dude, you're a rock star

You're supposed to be spoiled.

I mean. You should be driving limousine.

and private plane.

And you should be going to

party like this every night

Really? Because Dave says

That we need our sleep.

Look Alvin,

This is hard to say, but ...

I mean, I got to be upfront about it

Dave's holding you back.

I can be making you twenty large a day..

Is that a lot?

-- Yes.

And there is another thing.

I'm not gonna tell.Ok i will tell you. Behind your back ...

Dave calls you ... The Rats.

Rats?

Whatever right?

Don't let it bother you.

Me, I consider you boys family.If there's anything

you need, anything at all, you gave your Uncle Ian a call, alright?

Alright

-- Ciao.

Come on man, you drive like my grandmother.

Get a wheelchair.

Move over side.

Hey guys, look at me.

Up up and away.

I can't help you, Simon.

I'm about to take the lead here.

Hey guys, I have an idea

For a new song.

Hey Dave. -- What is going on in here?

I thought, i told you guys to clean up.

Who's that?

-- Uncle Ian hired us a housekeeper.

She's also a masseuse

Come on, move over Road Hog.

Driving or parking, friend.

You're getting me slowly.

-- Where you get that game?

From Uncle Ian. Move it or lose it!

Get some training wheels buddy.

You know what.

That's enough.

What are you doing?

I was about to beat my high score.

Too bad

Where is Theodore?

Spit it out!

-- No way.

Jett Records.

That's it. Meeting now.

Everyone on the couch.

Could you give us a minute?

Guys look,

it's hard I know...

Three months ago you were hanging out on a tree

Somewhere and now you're ...

Major rock stars.

Okay, whatever. My point is just because you're...

-- Major rock stars.

Well, uncle Ian said we

should always be happy

You know what?

He's not your uncle.

He also said that we should be making

$20 a day

Well, guess what? You're making

way more than that ...

And because I care,

I putting all away for you.

Just like storing nuts for the winter.

Winters are for losers.

And shouldn't we have a say in

how to build our investment portfolios?

Where is all this coming from?

You guys are just kids.

Kids, Dave, or rats?

What?

Uncle Ian says that

we're like his Family

if you love Uncle Ian so much,

and you don't think i'm watching out for you

Why don't you live with Uncle Ian?

Are you still mad at us?

Dear fellas.

I'm sorry but...

You should go back

to your real home in the forest.

I told you Dave, I never lose.

Boys welcome to your new home.

Oh yeah, that is home.

Can we play with all this stuff?

-- Sure, why not?

It's your home.

-- What are the rules around here?

I do have one rule.

That there are no rules.

Cool!

Four degrees to the left.

Six degrees to the right.

Fire!

Prepare to taste the fury of my vengeance

Don't make me laugh

You kungfu is not match for my arrows

Okay, Simon, that's enough

I finish with them

Hey, give me that!

-- Let go, Alvin.

Oh, come on

You had a chance

-- Who says that you even get your turn?

Give me that!

You got your chance
