[THEODORE] Ugh, do we have
to go to Miss Croner's house?

Don't be a baby, Theodore.

But she scares me.

Ugh! The wind scares you.

And yes, it's the only
house on the block

that has the same lip to ledge
as the championship skate park.

Oh, what does that mean?

You shall see.

The important thing is
that I practice for

the skate championship
morning, noon and night.

But we're supposed
to go out tonight. Remember?

Ugh, that's in an hour.

Now, observe.

This is the lip to ledge.

Whoa!

[gasp]

Oh, dear!

Oh, don't worry.
Ugh, I'm okay.

Oh, no!

My roses!

Why, you evil, no good,
oversized squirrel!

Evil squirrel?
Ouch!

Now, get!

I don't want to see you
near my precious roses,

do you hear me?

Stay away.

Okay, okay!

[screams]

[♪♪♪]

[door opens]

Oh good, you guys are here.
Come on, boys.

[Man on radio]: The reward
for last week's diamond robbery

is up to $10,000--

Wait, wait. Turn it back on.

Our neighbor, Miss Croner,
is the diamond thief.

I just know it.

Oh, she's a kind,
harmless, elderly woman

who just wants
to be left alone.

Oh, kind and harmless, huh?

Dave, this woman
destroyed my leg

with a mere glare.

And by "her glare,"
he means his skateboard.

Ugh! Whatever.

I'm telling you,
something shady's going on.

We're gonna be late
for our dinner reservation.

Come on, guys.
All right, fine, fine!

Leave me. But I can't believe
you don't trust me enough

to leave me alone
for a few hours.

Alvin, trust is earned.

Right now,
you're stuck in bed

with a wounded leg
and your poor judgment.

We'll be back soon.

Oh, snap.

That was a hit-and-run insult.

You're a hit-and-run insult.

Now help me downstairs

so I can play my video games.

Uh! Yeah, right.

I'm in charge, Alvin,
and I'm watching my shows.

[fake crying]
But I'm injured.

Aw, I'm sowwy...

But no.

Alvin, Can I try
a new healing technique?

Gee, I don't know.

Relax.

Close your eyes.

Where's your mind taking you?

To Miss Croner's house,

where she's counting
all her stolen gems.

Stop!
He needs his rest.

[♪♪♪]

Um, Eleanor,
it's an injured leg,

not pneumonia.

Aw...
Hush, child, hush, okay?

You're just delusional.

Child?
Rest up.

I don't wanna hear
another word from this room.

But--
Not a word.

You got it?

[♪♪♪]

[gasps]

I-I'm afraid to ask.

But was he any trouble?

Yeah. He's Alvin.

And just so you know,
he was getting

a little cranky-pants, so,
um, I put him to bed early.

I don't know if you took
astronomy, Alvin,

but the sky is up.

Shh. I've been watching
Miss Croner.

She's been digging up
her flowers all night.

Why would she do that
if she wasn't hiding something?

Well, why would you
spend all night

watching an elderly woman
plant flowers?

Come on, Theodore, let's enter
the mystery of oral hygiene.

Huh?
Let's brush our teeth.

[♪♪♪]

[gasps]
Wake up, you guys.

Whoa!

Simon? Simon.

He can't hear you.

He's wearing his

I-can't-hear-Alvin headphones.

Whatever.

But there's something shiny

in Miss Croner's garden.

I need you to go over there

and see what it is.

I-I wouldn't ask you,
except...

it's for the good of humanity.

Oh, not humanity again.

Ha, ha! Bingo!

[♪♪♪]

ALVIN [over walkie-talkie]
Little acorn, come in, little acorn.

You are approaching the tree.

What tree?

[ALVIN]
I'm talking in code, Theodore.

We went over this.

Tree stands for rose bushes.
Remember?

Oh! Is this it?

[ALVIN]
No, that's a sprinkler.

Oh! What about this?

[ALVIN]
Theodore, come on.

It's another sprinkler!

The real mystery is why
she has so many sprinklers.

[MISS CRONER]
Who's out there?

Where are my glasses?

[ALVIN] Little acorn,
she's like a T. rex.

Just keep still,
and she won't see you.

She's heading to our house!

[ALVIN]
Okay, I'll distract her.

You gotta go inside
and see what she's hiding.

What? No! Please!

Fine, fine.

We'll play
Rock-Paper-Scissors for it.

Three...two...one.
What've you got?

Paper.

Yeah, I got scissors.

So, I win.

In you go.

Aw, shucks.

[doorbell rings]

[yawns]

Good morning, Miss Croner.

This is not a good morning.

Your pest was in my garden.

No, no, Miss Croner.

I promise you,

[yawning] My pest has been
upstairs all morning.

Simon,
Miss Croner is downstairs.

You need to distract her.

What? No.

Simon, please.

You love talking about
ancient civilizations,

and she's ancient.

Well, I guess,
I'll go then.

Oh, oh, Miss Croner,
I have someone

who's dying to meet you.

[screams]

[♪♪♪]

Ha-ha-ha-ha.
Well, hello there.

Were you in my garden?

I assure you, madam,
I was nowhere near your garden.

Plus, I prefer playing
my mandolin to

[loudly] snooping around
in someone else's business.

Oh! You play the mandolin?

[in normal voice]
Well, I certainly enjoy it.

[groans, then laughs]

Sometimes it has
a mind of its own.

[plays mandolin]

Alvin, there's nothing here.

[meows]

Except a lot of cats.

[ALVIN] Well, have you
checked the basement?

Is "basement" code for
"come back home"?

[ALVIN] No, "basement"
means "basement,"

and every criminal
hides things where?

In their basement.
[cat meows]

Oh, please, no.

[ALVIN] Well, should we play
Rock-Paper-Scissors?

No. I always lose.

[clatter]

What happened to
the merry mandolin?

You were supposed
to stall her.

Alvin, I've got blisters
on my fingers.

THEODORE [over walkie-talkie]
Big acorn, I-I think I found something.

Don't touch that, Theodore.

It's poison.

Get out of there now.

I repeat, little acorn,
leave now.

[Theodore screams]

[static, beeping]
Theodore! Oh, no!

[tires screech]

[♪♪♪]

[screams]

[screams, grunts]

[gasping]

No!

Don't drink it, Theodore!
It's poison!

Uh? No. It's not. It's tea.

Miss Croner was
just telling me about--

Her diamond smuggling?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Well, I bet
your flowers know.

I bet your flowers
know plenty.

No! Stop!

Stop!

What are you doing, Alvin?

Finding out what
this woman's hiding.

Oh, please, Alvin.

Huh, wait.
I see something.

Okay, that's enough.

Oh, stop! Please!

I'm cheating!

You see, my roses win
first place every year,

but this year, they looked
a bit...oh, funky, so I...

Well, I... I used some...

some special growth soil
that the judges frown upon.

[sobbing]

Well, it's sort of a crime.

[doorbell rings]

I just want to apologize
for ruining your roses.

And for thinking
you were a jewel thief.

[sighs]

Well, it takes a gentlemen
to apologize,

so...I forgive you.

Oh, and I found this
in your garden,

That's the ruby
from my mother's wedding ring.

I thought I'd lost it forever.

Oh, thank you.

Hey, what are you doing
right now?

[SIMON]
Theodore. Theodore. Please.

Now you're gonna have to
trust me on this.

There's no such thing
as singing unicorns.

Then-- Then why did Brittany
say there were?

Oh-oh, I did it.

I really did it.

H-Hello?

Aren't you guys going to ask
what the miracle-working,

phenomenally-talented
brother of yours did?

I'm sure you'll tell us.

All right, all right,
you talked me into it.

Take a look.

I can't believe it..

I thought you'd be happy.

These are tickets to the soccer
final this Saturday.

They're impossible to get.
How did you do it?

Well,

let's just say I have friends
in very high places.

Yeah, you're 12 inches tall,
that isn't hard.

That's so funny, coming from
a shrimp c*ck with glasses.

However,
there is a major problem.

What problem?

It's sort of
our anniversary.

I met the chipmunks seven
years ago this Saturday.

It can't be. Not this Saturday.

Please, please, tell me
it's another Saturday.

[SIMON & THEODORE] Uh...
All right, all right.

Well, maybe Dave will forget.

There's no way
they'll forget.

They--
They absolutely love it.

Well, I'll just explain
the situation to Dave.

Julie, thank you so much.

I'm so sorry it didn't work out.

Dave. There's this
amazing thing Saturday.

I just--
I know. I know. It's family day.

You didn't think
I was gonna forget, did you?

No. Forget? Oh. Of course not.
No. No.

Nothing more important
than family, right?

Right. Took the words
right out of my mouth.

Oh.

Couldn't tell him,
huh?

He seemed so happy.

I just couldn't do it.

Why do I have such a big,
caring heart?

[coughing]

What?

Oh, I choked on something.

It must have been
the caring heart part.

[THEODORE]
You're going to have fun, Alvin.

Like every year.
You'll see.

Alvin, all you have to do is
stop thinking about soccer.

Stop thinking about soccer?

Oh.
Excellent.

So you won't be
needing this.

Simon.

It's like the whole school
is infected with a...

soccer mania.

All right, well,
just stick it out, big fella,

'cause just one more hour
and we're home.

Fifty-two, 53, 54--

Hey!

Hey.
Give me that back.

Derek, Derek.

School is a place of learning.

It's not a place for shenanigans
like this.

Give me my ball.

[yells]

I have no choice but to give you
detention this Saturday.

No long faces.
You'll be out before the game.

Oh, you are the greatest.

See you Saturday.

Hold on, Alvin.
This Saturday?

Yep. From 10 till noon.

Just breaks my heart.

Oh, right,
that big caring heart yours.

But you'll miss
the family outing.

I know.
It's a terrible, terrible break.

H-Hold on a second, Alvin.

You're going to use detention
to get out of family day

and then sneak off like a little
snake to the game afterwards?

What? Ugh. That's so...

I'm offended.

Alvin,
I know what you're doing

and I'm not going to let you
get away with it.

Look, I'm sure I don't know
what you're talking about,

but if I did,
let me remind you

that we have a brotherly pact,

which means no telling
on each other, ever.

So even if you did have
something to tell,

which you don't, but if you did,
you couldn't.

Right?

Brother?

[groaning]

Dave, I, um...

I don't even--

How can I say this? Well, no.

I can't. I just can't.
Never mind.

Alvin? What's wrong?

I really messed things up.

I have to miss family day.
Why?

I have detention.

I just hate it, but, you know,
like you always say,

I have to accept responsibility
for my actions.

[slurping]

I'm proud of you, Alvin.

But we don't want to miss
family day.

Let me see what I can do.

What? Dave, who are you calling?

Don't worry, Alvin,
I'll figure this out.

Hi, yes. Um, I'd like to speak
to the principle please.

No! You can't solve
all my problems.

It's time I take responsibility

a-and learn to deal
with my own actions.

Not as helpful
since Dave's on his cell phone.

Hey, Alvin, great news.

The principle agreed to push
detention back a week.

Super.

[both slurping]

[DAVE] Hey, guys, come on, hurry up.
You know what day it is.

[SIMON & THEODORE]
Family day!

Yay!
Whoo-hoo!

Soccer game day. Whoo-hoo.

[DAVE] A-Alvin?
[gasps]

[♪♪♪]

Alvin? Are you okay?

Aw, Dave,
I think I've got a cold.

[sneezes]

Well, you definitely have
a temperature.

Guess you'll do family day
without me, huh?

Maybe we should stay here
with you?

No! I couldn't stand ruining
this special day for you guys.

D-Don't even worry about me.

I'll be fi-- Fi--

[sneezes]

That's really thoughtful, Alvin,

but I'm gonna ask Julie
to check in on you.

I don't want
to get her sick too.

Don't worry, Dave. I'll be fine.

Have-- Have fun without me...

[coughing]
Take pictures.

Then it'll just be
like I'm there.

But you're not.

Theodore,
what's wrong?

We've been sworn
to secrecy.

Because our brotherly bond
won't let us tell you

that Alvin is acting sick
to miss family day

and go to the soccer final
instead.

That sneak.

Well,
we'll see about that.

[♪♪♪]

[kisses]

Ah!

Your brothers might have sworn
not to tell on you,

but nothing is stopping us.

Brittany, Brittany,
I lied to Dave.

I pretended I had a cold.
I feel fine!

Can you not see the desperation
on my face, Brittany?

Look into my eyes and have pity.

Oh, huh,
let me think about it.

Hold him, girls, while I tell
Dave what Alvin is up to.

Any funny business

and this goes to shreds.

No, not the ticket!

Not the ticket! Please!

Sunscreen, tennis racket,
beach ba*ls--

So it feels like he's with us.

Excuse me, um, Dave,

I have something really
important to tell you.

What is it?

Well, it's about Alvin,
and the truth is...

Well, I...

You okay, Brittany?

Uh, uh, I just wanted to say,

that family day won't be
the same without Alvin.

Oh, I couldn't tell Dave.

The truth
would have crushed him.

So you might as well let him go.

Oh, Brittany, thank you so much,
thank you.

[kissing]

Stop it.

As you wish.
Now if you'll excuse me,

I have a match to get to.

Hasta la vista.

[crowd cheering]

Come on, celebrate.
Grab a flag.

You here alone?

Yep.

[♪♪♪]

[cheering]

Oh.

Here. Um, you keep it.

I've got somewhere
better to go.

[horns honking]

Ugh. At this rate,
we'll never get to the lake.

[Alvin groans]

Alvin? What are you doing here?

Are you okay?

I'm fine, Dave.
It's just that, well...

I haven't been totally honest
with you.

Totally honest?

All right, all right,
I'm not sick.

I only pretended to be
so I could go to the game.

But once I got there
I realized

my family was more important.

Wow.

Anyway, so here I am.

I'm glad to hear it, Alvin.

And since we're being honest,
I never believed you were sick.

What?
Well, the truth is,

I wanted to go the game too

when Julie offered me
the tickets.

Julie's got tickets? When were
you going to tell me this?

What are we waiting for?
Can we all go together? Now?

Oh, spare me the boo-hoo eyes,
Alvin.

What do you say, Theodore?

Hmm. Okay.

But you have to watch five
talking Teddy shows with me.

Five?
Well, that's my deal,

take it or leave it.

Deal.

That was the most
awesome game ever.

Today, the game.
Next Saturday, family day.

Oh, yes!
It's a win-win for everyone.

Except for you.
What?

You've got detention
next Saturday.

No. No.

I can't believe it!
