Alvin And The Chipmunks Page #5

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?

They're just kids

-- Wait, Dave ... I ...

Ian?

-- I can ... You ..

Ian, was that Dave?

Yes..yes it was and he wants me to let you know

that he's doin' great and he's happy

He's realy..really happy.

Is he coming to the show?

You know what, I've sent him tickets..

And here's the thing..he sent them back.

Yeah, i know. I guess..he's busy, you know..

got better things to do.

Hey, come on, what's with the long furry faces?

We're gonna have fun, we're gonna have big show,

you know. I tell you what..

You guys like deep tissue massage?

Alright, i know a guy.

Let me call my guy.

I'll get on that.

Hey, Captain, come here.

Listen, Dave Seville ...

Learn the name, look for the face.

If he shows tomorrow night

he doesn't get anywhere near my chipmunks, you got it?

-Got it.

Uncle Ian?

-- What!

What are you doing here?

Can I sleep with you?

I had a nightmare.

You had a nightmare?

I had a nightmare too.

In my nightmare

I had to put together 37 dates in 42 days..

..in sixteen different countries and...

..i had to coordinate 121 different radio print interviews

in five different languages.

But you know what, Theo, the only different is..

in my nightmare, when i open my eyes, it doesn't end.

So..is that no?

Guys, I want to go home.

What do you mean?

You are home.

No, I mean home..home

You know, with Dave.

But Theodore, come on, wake up and smell the coffee..

Dave..doesn't even want us.

He doesn't care enough to come to our show.

Too tired to rock? The Chipmunks might be.

The rumours of exhaustion and voice strainer..

..swirling around the singing sensation

Is it because of

toaster waffle overload?

or a rigorous tour schedule?

It's hard to say

But manager producer, Ian Hawke..

..has ensured Fox that the trio..

..will make their first stop tonight on their highly anticipated world tour ...

..at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles.

That's it.

You three sound

like bed guarding nails.

Well?

I can give you lot of fancy terms

but, the bottom line..

..they're exhausted.

-- Okay, well, give them a shoot or something..

..a cream or a pill or something.

I've invested everything i have on this guy.

They need a long rest.

A long rest?

Are you..Okay. Yeah, a long rest. Right.

Right, yeah. I'm not a doctor

So, i'll get them get rest.

Okay, thank you so much, doctor.

I'll take care of it, doctor

Thank you so much.

I will..i appreciated

Hey, hey, doc, Chipmunk doll, get it.

Knock, knock.

So..listen guys,

I just talk to the doctor..

..and..I don't feel right about sending you guys out like this

So you gonna cancel the show?

No, no,

then i have give out refunds.

No, what i am talking about is having you guys..LIPSYNC!

Isn't that like cheating?

No, it's not like cheating.

Cheating is wrong.

This is more like helping.

All the superstars do it.

You just have to make sure that you mouth the words exactly like we were recorded them

Otherwise people will know.

That we're cheating.

No!

Guys, what other choice do we have?

--Yeah...See!? That's why he's the one with the letter.

Alright, guys. Tighten up.

And remember, mouth the words and..

..no one will know

Love you.

Oh, come on. You gotta have one more ticket.

-- Sorry.

Take it, Simon.

You love it? You love it?

--Chipmunk fever.

That's it baby...

No, there is no Dave Seville on this list.

You know what, that's fine.

I'm the editor of the a...L.A Music Journal.

No! No! I don't think so.

-- It's okay, he's with me.

He's my assistant.

Thanks, Claire.

-- What is going on, Dave? What are you..

I gotta get my boys back but..

..Ian's trying to keep me out.

Your boys?

-- I know that probably sounds weird.

It's a good word though.

Because after all I did..mess up everything,

including with you ... -- Dave, your boys.

We should go.

-- Right.

If you gonna do something, do it fast.

Here. You're press, remember.

Thanks.

What's going on, pal?

-- I am a photographer. I have a press pass.

He's here.

-- It's Dave.

What are you doing?

-- I'm sending a messages to our dear old uncle Ian.

Sounds like a plan to me.

-- Me too!

Come on, guys.

Hey, Ian ...

Kiss my furry cheeks.

Keep it.

Top of the mornin' to you.

Get off my drums.

Are you ready to rock?

Turn it up, girls.

Come on guys, we're going home.

Move! Move!

Let's go.

Get them!

-- Look out!

Hi!

Inny, minny, mighty..

Listen chipmunks because you are so..

..Yippie ki yay, mama cita

Watch your knees.

Sorry.

-- Come on, big fella.

Little bit closer.

Come on.

Right there, perfect.

He'll be back in the morning.

Guys.

-- Dave!

You're not going anywhere.

What are you doing?

-- Put us down.

Let me loose. You guys better study your french..

..because you're going to Paris, tonight.

I just had my tail done.

No, wait.

-- Here, take this. Put it with my stuff.

Let us out of here.

Ian, they don't want this anymore.

Just let them go.

But the guy just left.

You should have said something about 5 seconds ago.

Come back.

Ian, they need a real life.

Not all of this.

Besides, they just ruined the concert.

When they get out, no one will come see them.

Dave, they're chipmunks who talk.

People will come.

Guys, with me.

You never take us alive..

-- They just did take us alive, Alvin.

It's a figure of speech, Simon.

Instead of critizing me, why not use your big brain to think of a way out?

Go.

Come on.

Step on it, Dave, you're losing him.

How do you guys...

-- We're talking Chipmunks, Dave.

We can get out earlier.

Not even hard to do.

You came back for us.

Of course I came back.

We're a family

Holy nuts.

-- What?

Am i going crazy or did he just say, family?

I know it.

But I really missed you, guys.

I missed you too, Dave.

Me too. So did Alvin.

He is just too cool to admit it.

Yeah, too macho...

Miss..ed you too.

Sorry, I had something stuck in my throat.

I just said, i missed you too.

Whatever. Who are you guys to judge me?

You know what.

I missed my friend Dave.

I'll scream it from the rooftops.

I'm not afraid. I'm not ashamed.

That's right. I love you, Dave.

Come here.

Dave?

- Yes, Alvin?

Now, can i steer?

Please.

I've always want to work the windshield wiper.

-- And I like to beat the horn.

Have at it, fellas.

I'm a good beeper.

-- Save some horn for the rest of us

Come on Dave, go faster.

-- Not with you steering.

Dave, you drive like a sleepy old..

-- Okay, Alvin. That's enough.

Enough of what? Of being awesome?

-- Alvin, i said that's enough.

Hey, If you guys behave,

maybe I'll let you call me uncle Ian again

Deal?

Nooooo!

Hey.

- Come on in.

Hello Claire.

- Hello Balerinna.

Hi guys.

- I hope you like toaster waffles.

And for us, classy chipmunks..

Not gonna say it.

Good Grief.

You're still not gonna say it?

- Nope.

I'm gonna say it.

Alvin!!!!
