Look fellas,
Let's make sure we understand each other here...
I'm not your ...
You know ...
Your dad or anything. Right?
But you're like a dad.
Well, not really.
I mean, we're friends.
For sure.
I write your music,
you know, manage your career...
Make a sweaters.
- Feed us.
Let us sleep in your bed
when we have nightmares.
That's what friends do.
So.. who wants to open their presents?
Is that kind of question?
- We do
Me.Me.Me.
- Present. Present. Present
I can't wait to open
my first ... envelope.
Their saving bond.
- Cool.
You know, In 7 years
you gonna get to buy yourself something really nice.
You... maybe have any
that you bought 7 years ago?
Alvin, manners.
Thank you, Dave
- Yeah. Thanks, Dave.
Who wants presents?
--- Wow
Cool.
Hey. There is plenty more will come from.
Bring them all in, Fellas.
-- Oh, Yeah
Jackpot.
- What are you doing?
Taking care my boys Dave.
- Oh yeah, that's what Im talking about.
Weird, what happened to your presents, guys?
Which one is for me?
-- That big one is for me, I think.
with what did you get them?
Saving bonds.
-- Great, just what every kid dreams of.
You're in luck,
Because your Uncle Ian came through.
Cool.
-- Uncle Ian?
Is this for me?
No for Simon. For Theodore.
And for Alvin.
Thank you Santa.
-- This is for you.
You like French horns, right?
You are welcome
Guess what guys. Uncle Ian is
gonna have big launch party for the new CD
That's right. Press, paparazzi,
Hollywood hot shots...
The whole nine yards
- Super cool.
Dave, you got 1 week
to write me a new hit single.
Alright, some fucking fresh, ok?
Peace, we out.
Bye Uncle Ian.
- Merry Christmas.
Now it really is Christmas
Mayday!
Mayday!
Alright, Settle in. Settle in.
Thank you for coming.
This is a very special night.
Tonight
Here we are Jett Records. We pride of ourselves.
So. We are gonna bring tomorrow's music, today
Oh.. Guess what?
I did it again.
Ladies and gentleman.
Here to sing their new hit single...
Give it up
For Alvin, Simon and Theodore.
Thank you.
Mine if I grab a few pics?
Claire. Not at all. Fire away.
Great. I got a new assignment.
I am covering your rise to fame .
This is Alvin, Simon and Theodore.
- Hello, Hi Claire.
You're hot.
- Forget you guys haven't officially met.
I'm sorry about that night,
I really thought, that you... - I was insane?.
I totally understand it. Talking Chipmunks
it is a lot to take in over dinner.
But, look at you now.
you got your career, promising future..
Kids, you're like a family.
-- Don't say family in front of Dave ...
It gives him gas.
Like clear the room gas.
It does not!
-- He doesn't want a family.
Why don't you guys go and play
Or raid the dessert table or something.
Don't take it personally, you guys
Some people don't know a good thing
when they've got it
Right, Dave?
No, thanks, big guy
But you are not good at this.
What do you think of this?
What's that?
-- It's Alvin.
That's nothing look like Alvin.
-- It's a prototype.
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
-- This is mine.
Scram
-- I want it
Why didn't the airbags deploy?
-- Theodore, don't go into the light
Let's do it again
-- Awesome
Playing hard?
-- oh..yes
Good. Because tomorrow
You start working hard
Coast to coast,
In five days
Well..Dave said that touring is no life for a kid
For normal kid
You guys are superstars
Which reminds me
Simon let's get rid of this..boring glasses
And try on these super cool in the now glasses
Oh my god.. -- This would be great,
if i can see out of them
Your eyes will adjust
Come on, boys
Let's hit the road
Come on.
Big love to the camera
Alvin, big smile.
Theodore, chin up.
That's it, look tough
There you go. Come on, get it there
Give me some booty
Spank him! There you go
If the Chipmunk likes Crunchy Nibbles,
your pet will love them
Cut!
Here we are
Hold it
There's no button i can push that
wakes up them up long enough to sing the right notes
-- Are you kidding, there are 5000 buttons here.
Alright guys, guest what your uncle Ian brought you?
Coffee.
I love toffe
-- No, it's coffee, Theodore, coffee ...
It's a super cool
Energy health drink.
With whipped cream and caramel and two humps of chocolate.
Enjoy.
That ought to keep them awake
Stop! Come guys
We need more energy
We need more dry eyes
We need more...you know..WOW!
We're the Chipmunk, for crying out loud
-- This is absurd
I feel a verklede monkey. -- And to be honest
, The new songs don't really sound like us
You know what I think, i think the new direction is perfect
It's all about today edge
Dave always said that was all about the music
No you know what,
Dave is not here.
It's me
It's fun uncle Ian.
What? What are you gonna say?
What's your name?
Taffy? What kind of name is Taffy?
What do you do?
Choreography
-- I don't know what "choreography" is. What it's that?
It's dance
-- Is it dancing?
Well, next time say i'm the dance..
Yes, hello?
Who? Dave Seville.
Name rings a bell,
a dead broken bell
Just let me talk to the guys
-- I don't think that such a good idea, Dave.
My boys are sting a little bit from you
kicking them out of the door
That's not what happen
-- Denial.
So, what's this i hear about European tour?

No, twelve actually if we getting China

Twelve?
Look.. i just wanted to say hi, see how they're doing..
-- They're doing great
They love and life, they livin' large.
Face it, Dave, they moved on.
They're now happy.
-- Ian, I want to talk to them.
Put them on the phone.
-- I don't that think that's gonna happen, Dave ...
Because we got a big world tour we're gonna start tomorrow,
And this guys don't need the extra pressure.
We'll send you a postcard.
-- Ian, you can't do this
They're not ready for something like that
They're just kids
I'm gonna see them
-- 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!!!!
