[♪♪♪]

[grunting]
Oh...

[chipmunks arguing]
Huh?

[ALVIN] Enough of the two of you!
[SIMON] They stink!

[ALVIN]
But those aren't even my socks!

Oh, really, because
there's an A on them.

So who else
could they belong to?

I don't know! What about Albert
or Alphonse or A-melio?

Who's A-melio?

Someone who has stinky socks
just like Alvin's!

What's going on?

Okay, Dave, Dave,
could you hold on a sec?

We're kind of
in the middle of something.

Look, I'm tired of breaking up
fights between you three.

This is the third time
this week!

Three times this week?
Oh!

That's kind of
an exaggeration, Dave.

What about the fight over
the basketball?

What about the remote control
plane that flew out the window?

What about the--
What is that smell?

[sniffs]

Ugh!

[muttering indistinctly]

Dave, I was thinking.

There is a very simple way
to stop us from fighting.

Please tell me.
The old barter system.

You give me my own room
and I give you peace

and... wait, I can't even
hear it... quiet.

Well, that's
an interesting idea, Alvin.

But why shouldn't Simon or
Theodore have their own room?

A, it's my idea, B, it wasn't
Simon or Theodore's idea,

and C, I am the most mature.

[choking]
Mature?

Thank you, Simon.
Uh, you're not needed here.

This is between Dave and me.
The two adults.

So where was I? Oh, oh, yes,
yes. My own room.

So, Dave. I think
if I had my own room,

it would be a win-win
for everyone.

What do you guys think?

Theodore and I would love
not to deal with stinky socks.

You got that right.

Okay, Alvin,
I'll tell you what.

You show me you're mature
and responsible enough

to have your own room,
and I'll consider it.

Excellent!
Because there's nothing more

that I want than to be...

alone!

[ALVIN] Alrighty, Dave,
I'm going to do my homework

right after I play outside!

Oh, really, really Alvin?
You know,

because a mature person
doesn't put off till later

what they can do right now.

Heh, I knew that, Simon. I was
just testing to see if you did.

Pa-chow!
Bam!

Hello? I, Mr. Mature,
am trying

to figure out
a math problem here.

So if you two kids
could just run along

and play your infancy games
elsewhere,

that-that would be great.

Well, Mr. Grownup,

the correct word is
"infantile." Not "infancy."

Well, you're
absolutely correct.

Congratulations by the way.
You just passed my second test.

[in unison]
Hey!

Ah, ah, ah, Dave.
You just settle back.

I've got it handled.

Hey!

[singsongy] Oh! Rub-a-dub-a-dubbie,
squeaky, squeaky clean!

[vacuum whirring]

Wait, wait Theodore,
I'll do that!

[sighs] Just cleaning up
after the kiddies.

[singsongy] Swish and wipe and mop
it up, boy I want my room--

Haaaa!

[squeaks]

[♪♪♪]

Alvin, why don't you go out
and play. It's a beautiful day.

Gosh, thanks, thanks Dave,

but you know, I'm captivated
by the, uh,

letter M in the encyclopedia.

This Methuselah guy!
Oh! What a character!

Oh.

[plays mellow melody]

Huh, Dave?
Hum. Sorry Dave!

Interrupting all your busy
working

and, you know, that type
of adult business, but um...

It has been a week,
and, you know, I was, um--

Oh right. Well, you know what?
You've done a great job and--

So, yeah, a deal's a deal.
So where's my new room gonna be?

Your-your office?
The-the music room?

I-I couldn't possibly
take over your bedroom,

unless of course you insist.

[door creaks]

The basement?

I'm sorry Alvin. It's the only
spare room in the house.

So maybe you should just go back
to your room and--

Are you kidding, Dave?
I love it!

I can see it all right now--
Got a vision of, like,

the coolest bachelor pad
imaginable.

My bed goes there. over there,
a giant flat screen.

It's gonna be amazing!

And some giant Tiki statues
in the corner,

cool hammock being swung
from the rafters,

maybe a great sofa and Jacuzzi
over on the side.

my own Bro Zone.
Welcome to the...

[howls]

...wolf den!

Oh...

Boy, I'd be scared
down there all alone.

Maybe we should tell Alvin
to come back?

Are you kidding Theodore?

We just got rid of
Mr. Stinky Socks!

And you heard him,
it's a win-win.

Besides, he doesn't miss us
one bit.

[ALVIN]
Well, hello, boys!

Just came in to get some of
my stuff for my own room...

My bachelor pad.

Anyway, um, I've really
gotta thank you, Simon.

Oh, really, Alvin?
And why is that?

Well, if you hadn't been
such a stink-weed

about a few little socks,

I never would've had my own
rockin' k*ller wolf pad.

Oh! Well, then,
I'm glad I put up a stink.

So I guess
everybody's happy!

Oh, we're happy. Couldn't
be happier! Right, Theodore?

[sighs]
Yeah.

I mean, we have
this whole room to ourselves.

So we can totally
rearrange it!

I think we should move that
shelf over there. And...

and some more new posters
on the wall.

Then, when Alvin gets his bed
out of here,

we'll get ourselves
a nice big comfy couch.

What do you say about that?
Fine.

I'll clear out
as soon as possible.

Oh, oh, Theodore,
and if he gets too annoying,

you can always bunk
with me.

He's already got a bunk mate!

Simon, do we have to move
his bed right now?

No, no, we don't,
Theodore.

You know what, let's just
leave his bed alone for now.

Well, Alvin, old buddy,
you are king of your own castle!

Well, ha, ha,
this is it, Dave.

My very first night
in my very own room!

Pretty exciting, huh?

I'll help you move all
your things tomorrow, okay?

Okey-dokey.

Night, Alvin.
[ALVIN] Night, Dave!

[light switch clicks,
door creaks shut]

[sighs] Yup, it is really
nice and quiet down here.

[creaks, water dripping]

Really, really quiet.

[♪♪♪]

[ALVIN] Boy, it is great
to be together again, guys.

I'll admit it,
I have missed you guys.

So did you guys miss me too?

[as Theodore]
Oh! We sure did, Alvin!

[as Simon] Oh! I was so stupid,
Alvin! I'm so sorry.

Can you ever forgive me?

[as self]
Aw, fellas, don't be too hard
on yourself.

Of course I can forgive you!
You know why?

I'm the mature one.

Okay, this is super awkward.

Oh, hey, hey! Brittany.
I was just,

you know, practicing
a new ventriloquist act! See!

So, Alvin, this is the
coolest room in the universe.

Wow, I wish we could have
a place like this.

It's, you know,
just-just a start,

but, uh,
pretty-pretty great, huh?

[uncomfortably] Yeah, heh, heh.
Wow. We were totally fooled.

[uncomfortably] Oh, that was--
That was you talking? Great job.

Miss those two guys? Huh,
don't make me laugh! Ha!

I told you yesterday,
I don't regret a thing.

Really?

Miss Alvin? h*!
That's-that's a good one.

I finally feel as if
I've got my own life back.

Ha, ha, that performance
was pathetic.

Shall we try again?

[sighs]
Oh, all right.

I miss him so much that I
carry around one of his socks.

Helps me think of him
all day! See!

[retches]

So clearly they all miss
each other.

Ugh, but they're too proud
to admit it.

Huh! Typical boys!
Such a foolish species.

So how do we get them
back together?

Well, let them keep
their pride.

I think I know
just the way.

Oh, that would make so much
difference. Hang it up.

You really think so?
Absolutely.

You know, I was wrong about
this place. You are so lucky.

I am?
Yeah.

To think,
if Dave hadn't thought

you were mature enough
to live on your own,

he never would
have given you this room.

That was some pretty fancy
footwork, my friend.

Well, heh, heh,
when I want something,

I usually find a way
to get it.

Yeah, but Alvin,
be careful.

Because Dave might move
you back with your brothers

if you suddenly became, like,
immature again, right?

Yeah, he would.

Wait a minute, that's right.
He would.

And that would be terrible,
because, well,

you'd have to say goodbye
to all this.

[washing machine rumbling]

[loud music playing
in distance]

What is th...?

[loud music continues playing]

Alvin, turn that music down!

Sorry, sorry Dave.
Can't hear a word you're saying!

Music's too loud.

What is all this mess?
Wh-- Stop bouncing!

But Dave, this gives me energy
so I can stay up all night!

Enough! Go back to your room.

Clearly, you're not mature
enough to live on your own.

But Dave, that's so unfair!

Okay, I'll go. But Simon
and Theodore won't be happy.

Okay guys, look,
Alvin's moving back in,

and I don't wanna hear
any complaints.

Do I make myself clear?
[SIMON] Yes.

Hey-hey, Alvin.
Hey.

Hey! Hi!

We, we left your bed alone.
See?

Just...just the way
you like it!

Thanks.

Um, but watch the
stinky sock stuff, okay?

Sure. No-no problem.

Hey, who opened this?

It's my game.
I get to play it first!

Oh, oh, so you got
the invisible dibsies?

I don't see your name
on it!

Oh well, Mr. I'm so
scientific and smart.

Maybe if you had your glasses
on, you'd see my name.

Remember? The one with the A,

the one that was on
the stinky socks?

[SIMON] Mr. Mature, I can see...
[THEODORE] I am so tired...

[arguing continues]
Yep.

everything is back to normal.

Well, it looks like
our week-long rain

will be over soon.
According to the SuperAccu

Weather Meteorological
Prognostication Center,

the storm will be over
in 37 seconds.

Thirty-seven seconds?
Come on.

How can they be that precise?

Help.
Theodore, what is it?

Alvin's making me a li'l doggie.

What?
[ALVIN] Yee-haw.

Git along, little doggie.

I'm not playing.

W-What? Simon.

Did you not just see
the same movie I saw?

Yes.
Like the coolest western ever?

Yes.

And did the cowboys
round up little doggies?

Yes. But I'm not playing
"cowboy roundup"

just because I saw
a cool western.

And I'm certainly not
a little doggie.

That sounds just like something
a little doggie would say.

Yee-haw.

Now, where's that other
little doggie?

I don't want to be
a li'l doggie.

Well, get your bike
and round up Alvin.

Alvin.

This little doggie
can't be no cowpoke.

He ain't got no giddy-up.

Where's your bike, Theodore?

Why he done left it out
in the rain.

I-I did not.

Y-You didn't? Hmm.
Maybe that was me.

You left my bike
out in the rain?

Guys, look.
The storm has passed.

Forty-two seconds.

I knew they were guessing.

[all gasp]

M-Melvin?

You named your bike
Melvin?

Yeah.

Don't worry,
Melvin's fine.

We can buff that
right out.

Oops.

Alvin, you're gonna replace
Theodore's bike.

Understood?

All right.

[knocking on door]

Oh, hello, Alvin. Leonardo.

Huh?
Hey, Mrs. Croner,

I was wondering if you have
any work you need done.

I want to earn money
to buy a new bike

for my poor little brother,
Theodore.

I-I mean, Leonardo.
W-What?

Well, that's very sweet of you.

What happened to his old one?

Oh, I left it out
in the rain.

What an idiotic thing to do.

You're horrible. Horrible!

Great. Now what?

Oh. Not a problem.

She's got a terrible memory.

Oh, hello, Alvin.
And little Crawford.

Hey, Mrs. Croner,
I was wondering

if you have
any work you need done.

I need to earn a little money
to buy a new bike

for my brother, Crawdad.
Crawdad?

Simon left his old one
out in the rain.

That Simon
is a horrible brother.

Of course I'll help you.

[♪♪♪]

Uh, well,
I could get a lot more done

if you didn't have me
using a toy lawn mower.

I'm afraid that's all I have.

I always use these.

Thanks.

Finished painting the house.

Good work, Alvin.

Finished putting the new
transmission in your car.

Very good. And now for your pay.

Oh, there it is, one shiny dime.

Ten cents?
I know. I know.

But you did such a great job.

Now, don't spend it all
in one place.

No, no, I'll save every penny.

All ten of them.

So? C-Can we get my new bike?

Oh, you betcha,
we just need to find a place

that sells bikes for ten cents.
[sighs]

Now, Theodore, don't worry,
don't worry.

I'll replace your
bike...somehow.

Speaking of somehow.

"First Annual Shopping Cart
Roundup."

"Whoever rounds up the most
shopping carts from this store

and brings them in will wins
a bike of their choice."

Oh, that's perfect.

I can win the bike, sell it,

and make enough money
to buy Theodore a new bike.

Or you could just give Theodore
the prize bike.

Yes, I guess we could.
Point is, buckaroo,

we got our work
cut out for us.

Let's get along Hopalong Simon
and Calamity Ted.

What do we call you?

Around these parts,
I'm known as The Chipmunk Kid.

I am not going to be
called some stupid cowboy name.

Stupid cow--? Uh, well.

For an ol' cowpoke named
Hopalong, you're...

mighty feisty.

Hey, hey, hey. What do you think
you're doing, Derek?

I'm going to win a mountain
bike, that's what.

No, you're not.
Yeah, I am.

You guys
don't stand a chance.

No way he's beating us.

Calamity, Hopalong,
are you with me?

With ya.
With ya.

But don't call me that.

[♪♪♪]

Well, boys, best we get moving.

We're burning daylight.
Right, Calamity Ted?

Yup, got that right.

Hopalong?
Ugh. Don't call me that.

Now, when you spot a cart,
remember,

you gotta sneak up on 'em
real quiet like

or you'll spook 'em and--

There's one.

Out of my way!
I saw it first.

No, I saw it first.

Don't call me Hopalong!

[all yelling]

We can just
buff that out, right?

No.
Now, listen up, cowpokes,

if we're gonna win
and if I'm ever to ride again,

we gots to work as a team.

Just what
this old cowpoke needs,

a nice mug of camp coffee.

Ugh.

You call that a mug
of camp coffee?

No, actually I don't.

I call that a disgusting dirty
old soup can

that was lying on the ground
when we got here.

Whatever.
We've got things to do.

Let's go, Calamity.
Hopalong.

H-He just won't listen,
he keeps calling me Hopalong.

But we can't leave now.

What-- What about Li'l Wobbler?

Um, Li'l Wobbler?

He's got a bum foot,
poor little fella.

He can't keep up with
the rest of the herd.

And yes,
I have named all the carts.

That one there is Wheels,
that one there is Dusty,

that over there is Carty, and
that one is Baby Carty. And--

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
we get it, Theodore.

And they all remind me
of Melvin.

Oh, cheer up, Theodore.

Pretty soon, you'll be riding
home on your brand new Melvin.

I don't know about you guys,

but I could a little rest
before we get these carts

back to the store.

Good idea.
Good idea.

[playing softly]

[snoring]

Theodore. Simon. Wake up!

It's Hopalong, you varmint.

Our herd of carts,
it's gone!

Rustlers.
We've been rustlified.

And I know who did it.

Oh, please don't let it
be clowns.

It wasn't clowns, Theodore,
it was Derek.

I know, if we get
to the highest point in town

we might be able
to spot him.

But what about Li'l Wobbler?

[ALVIN]
Bring him.

[♪♪♪]

I see them. I see our herd.

Uh, Alvin...
H-Hold on, Simon.

They're just down there.
A-Alvin--

J-Just wait a second.

I'm trying to map out the
quickest route to get there--

Alvin!

[all screaming]

[SIMON]
Look out!

[woman screaming]

Hang in there, Li'l Wobbler!

There.
There's Derek with our carts.

This ends now.

Let me tell you something,
Derek.

Where we come from, stealin' a
man's cart is against the law.

What are you complaining about?

I left you that one over there.

Come on, Derek, those are
our carts and you know it.

I don't care.
When have I ever cared?

Put your hands above your head.
What?

That's right.
And back away from the carts

real nice and slow.

You see that road ahead?
Now run like the dickens,

'fore I do something
I be regrettin'.

No, no, don't--
Don't be regrettin'.

I'm going.

Oh, Mrs. Croner,
how can we ever thank you?

Well, to be honest, I...

I wasn't sure whose side
I was going to be on.

You weren't sure whose side
you were on?

That's right. Until he spoke
about abandoning that old cart.

Everyone thinks
just because you get old,

and a little rickety, you have
nothing to contribute.

Fools and dillywags. Oh, dear.

Look at that poor little fella.

There, there now. All better.

Go. Be free, little cart.

[ALL]
Aww.

[horn honking]
[crashing]

Oh, no.
Li'l Wobbler!

Now, now, don't worry,
Ferdinand. I'll... I'll fix him.

How'd you learn
to do all this?

I used to help my father
in his workshop during the w*r.

Which w*r?

Oh, the supermarket wars,
back in '72.

Oh, thank you, Mrs. Croner.

You're very welcome, Gilmore.

Hey, Alvin's back.

Where's the new bike?

Right here. Um, turns out we
didn't read the fine print.

B-But don't worry, Theodore.

I-I'll make it up to you.

That's right, get a move on,
little doggie.

Yes, sir. Oh.
