[ALVIN] Ice cream! Soft serve ice cream!
Chocolate chip ice cream!

[timer buzzes]
Chocolate-

And, time!
Oh!

The answer is
salted caramel ice cream.

That's ridic--
Who wrote this?

I wrote it. Because it
was on my mind.

I'm up. Let me show you
how it's done.

[MISS CRONER]
Cat!

Yes! Wait, who said that?

[MISS CRONER]
Mr. Whiskers!

Aah. That's Miss Croner.

Oh, my darling
cat is gone!

I'm sorry,
but how do you know?

I mean, don't you have
like dozens of cats?

Oh, but none are
like Mr. Whiskers.

Oh, please,
if Dave went

screaming around
the neighborhood

every time
I took a walk,

he'd never
get anything done.

Aah!
You don't understand.

Mr. Whiskers
is a special cat.

He has travelled the world
during his nine lives.

Bringing good fortune
wherever he went.

But whenever he
would leave a town,

kabam, kablooey!
[all gasping]

A curse would
befall the village.

Well, this is more like
a suburban neighborhood

than a village, so--

Same thing!
Same curse.

You better find him.

All right, well, thank you
so much, Miss Croner.

We've got to go
back inside now.

We're, you know, finishing up
that-- That thing?

Remember, guys?
That-- That thing?

Oh, yeah, right!
That, uh, that thing.

Huh? Oh, I mean,
yeah, right. That thing.

[BRITTANY] That thing.
[SIMON] Right.

Yeah, that-- That thing.

[door shuts]
Oh, you guys.

I feel bad.
Should we help her look?

And join the nut squad?
Are you kidding?

The only thing that's
cursed is poor Miss Croner!

She definitely
needs to learn

better social skills.

You're sure
there's no curse, right?

Oh, Theodore.
What do you think?

Oh, the crazy kitty cat
curse is gonna get us.

Ooh.

[screams]

Is everyone
all right?

No!

There's a cat curse, Dave!

Uh, a what?

Mr. Whiskers
has gone missing

and now the whole
village is cursed!

Theodore, there's
no such thing as--

[cracks]
Aah! My back!

Uh-oh.

The cat curse
has started already!

You okay, Dave?

Oh, yeah. No, no.
I'm fine.

I'm just
gonna walk it off.

Check the circuit breaker.

No! Don't leave us!

We'll--
We'll come with you!

[crickets chirping
and owl hoots]

[♪♪♪]

The cat curse!

Okay. What is this?

[toy squeaks]
Alvin, did you do this?

Are you kidding?

Why would I stick a cat toy
in the electrical box?

Well, what would this
be doing in here?

Cat curse.

I have had it to here
with the kitty cat curse.

I don't know. I don't care.
I'm going to bed.

Hello! What about
the curse?

Oh, don't worry, Theo.

We'll look for Mr. Whiskers
in the morning, okay?

If we're not
goners by then.

[gasps]

Hello?

Where is everyone?

[growling]
My food!

Theodore! What are you--?
It's no use.

[growling]

The cat curse
has gotten to him.

Simon. Please explain
what's going on here.

Turns out Miss Croner was right.

As soon as Mr. Whiskers left...

How did she put it?

Kabam, kablooey,
the entire village was lost.

[banging at door]

Just as I feared.

Another curse
of epic proportion!

Grab onto something, man!

[meowing]

[screams and gasps]

Cat curse!

[grunting]

Dave! We have got to look
for Mr. Whiskers. Now!

Right now!

[engine sputtering]

Aah, I hate
this old clunker.

Can't we get
a newer, hotter car?

It's a classic.

[engine continues sputtering]

That's strange. Betsy hasn't had
a problem in years.

[gasps]

Cat curse!
Cat curse!

Oh, no, no!
Cat curse!

Oh! This can't be.
Can it?

[Miss Croner coughing]

Oh, what is--
That was-- She was...

[♪♪♪]

Okay so, focus.

I've created a list
of everybody's job, okay?

Do we all know
what we're doing? Yes?

Um, hold on,
just a minute, guys.

Um, quick question.

Under Jeanette, it says,
"Talk to the cats."

Um, Jeanette, when did
this start happening?

Oh, I've been a cat
whisperer for, like, years.

Uh-huh.
Yeah.

If only we could
get more people

to help find
Mr. Whiskers.

Oh. They will for a reward.

I'm gonna offer Dave's car.

What?

[hoots]
[barks]

How about knowing
you did a good deed?

Hey, Miss Croner,
how's it going?

I'll bet there's a lot
of people helping, huh?

No! Course not.

A bunch of fools trying
to get a free car.

I'm sorry, wha-- What?

Fr-- Free car?

[♪♪♪]

Hey, Dave.

What are you guys doing?

Nothing, nothing, Dave.
Not a thing.

They used me
as cat bait, Dave.

We'll talk
about it later.

All good things.
Good, good things!

[door shuts]

Alvin!

Here, kitty,
kitty, kitty!

Any luck, Miss Croner?

No! This is hopeless.

I'm going home.

Wait! That's Mr. Whiskers'
paw prints!

Really?
You can tell that?

'Cause there have
been a lot of cats here.

Are you saying
I don't know my own cat?

His paw prints look
like a four leaf clover.

See?

Mm-hm. He's close.

Very close.

He's up in that tree!

Look, he's built
himself a cat mansion!

Uh, no.
That's our home.

Miss Croner, why don't you
go home for the night?

And I promise we'll look again
in the morning.

Oh. I'm worried the curse

will be permanent by then.

[all gasp]

But that's
up to you.

Sleep well,
children.

Can we have a sleepover
with you guys?

[♪♪♪]

[owl hooting
and crickets chirping]

[animal howls]

[creaking]

[all scream]

What was that?

[cat moans]

It's under the bed!

It sounds scared.

I'm not falling
for that old trick.

No, no. That is
Scary Movie 101.

Never look under the bed!

[cat moans again]

[ALL]
Jeanette, no!

[giggling]
Well, hello there!

[meows]

Guys, Mr. Whiskers
had kittens.

Man, I didn't even think
that was possible.

Um, I'm pretty sure
it's Miss Whiskers.

Uh. Yeah, yeah.
Oh, I see.

She says she didn't want
her children to live

at Miss Croner's
with all those other cats,

because babies need
special attention.

But what do we do?

Miss Croner loves
Mr. Whiskers.

Uh, sorry, Miss Whiskers.

[purring]

Okay, so basically,
here's the deal.

Miss Whiskers wants
to stay with us--

Only until we can
find proper homes

for each of her babies.

And then, Miss Whiskers has
agreed to come back home.

Oh, fine. Fine.
[meows]

Oh, oh, wait, sorry,
there are more conditions.

She wants a better
brand of cat food.

And she will not share
the bed with Shirley.

She's, um,
she's a bed-wetter.

[meowing]

Ah, Miss Whiskers, no.

She won't
agree to that.

You gotta dial it back.
[meows]

So, what do you say? Deal?

Yes, yes, deal.

[door slams]

I'm sorry.
How about a thank you?

Thank you.

Oh, come here,
my little Miss Whiskers.

[meowing]

Wait! What about the curse?

Is-- Is it over?

The curse? Oh, oh.

I made that up to get you
to find my cat.

Okay, well, good day.

[door slams]

Look, look. I found
your Mr., uh, Fiskers.

Now hand over the car.

Sir, I don't even know
what you're talking about.

Hey, what kind
of horsepower

are we dealing with, huh?
Zero!

It's not available.

Come on!
I got this flyer.

[whistling]

Alvin!

[banging on door]

Open the door,
Miss Croner!

It's me,
your old pal, Alvin!

I don't even mind
bunking with Shirley!

Please! Let me in!

[sneezes]

Okay, so, let me just
get this straight, guys.

Alvin, I'm signing you up

for soccer practice
at 3 tomorrow.

No, no, Dave.

You're signing me up
for soccer at 3.

Alvin's at 5
for football.

Right, right, and Theodore's
got karate at 4?

I do?

Come on, guys,

someone's got karate, right?

[sneezes]

Well, Alvin
wants us to take karate,

but I want
a meditation class.

But you said
we had to pick.

Yeah, 'cause you don't
want to drive all over town.

Even though
every other parent

in the world
seems to be able to.

Wait, where am I going now?

You don't know?

Don't tell him!
Don't tell him!

Give me a break, guys.

I'm not feeling well,

and there's already
so much to remember--

My play rehearsal,
remember?

[groans]

Oh, no!

[tires screech]

Oh, Theodore. We almost
didn't have to go.

Mr. Humble, it was so
kind of you to stop by.

Why, thank you, dear.

[kisses]

I hope... I, um.

I Hope...

Dave, you're supposed
to cue me. Dave?

[snoring]
Ha-ha-ha-ha. Excuse me, David?

Is he boring you?

Huh?

Uh, what's my line?

Oh, uh. It's, uh...

[cell phone rings]

It's the appliance company.

I have to take this.

[dramatically]
It's the appliance company.

I have to take this.

[in normal voice]
Wait! Hey, hey. No, no.

That's not right.

Tomorrow at 3?
How's 1?

No, I can't do 3.

No, no, no.
That won't work at--

Look, I'm really--
[line disconnects]

Hello? Hello?

[groans]

You're being very rude.

I'm a bit overwhelmed,
ma'am.

Oh, you're overwhelmed!

Oh, can I get something sir?

Guess what?
I have twins!

Yes, but I'm...

[snoring]

[ALVIN]
D-Dave?

Dave? Hello?

Anybody home? Dave?

[groans]

Oh, good, you're up.

Well, just wanted to say

you should probably
get some rest.

You're sick.

I know that, Alvin.

I feel sick.

That's what I just said.

Anyway, the doctor said,

stay in bed
for the next week.

And not to worry
your little head,

I'll take over dad duty.

What? No, Alvin.

Call Miss Miller.

You got it.

Nighty-night.

[phone rings]

Hello?

Hey, Miss Miller!

Dave wanted to make sure
that I gave you a call.

So anyway,
great talkin' to you.

[phone beeps off]

Huh?

Okay, Dave,
I called Miss Miller.

What was that
about?

Well, boys, looks like

I'm your new dad.

Huh?
Dave's gone?

No, no, Theodore.
He's just sick.

Oh, there's no way
I'm letting you parent us.

Plus, you have no idea
how hard parenting is.

Well if it's so hard,

Dave shouldn't have
invited three overactive

chipmunks into his home.

He didn't.

We showed up on his doorstep

and wouldn't leave
until he took us in, remember?

Whatever.

The point is,
I'd be a great dad.

And I'll tell you one thing,

I won't be whining
all the time like Dave.

You'd be a worse parent
than a wolf spider.

And they eat their young.
What?

Oh, yeah? Well, would you like
to make a little wager?

I say I can be
an awesome parent for a week.

No, no, no.
A successful parent.

There's a difference.

And if I win,
we take the meditation class.

Oh, fine! But if you lose...

Hi-yah!

[yells]

h*, h*. Deal.

Oh, Daddy?
What's for breakfast?

Well, glad you asked,
little boy.

A balanced breakfast
of apple pie and popcorn!

Oh, boy!

[sighs]

Should we wash our plates?

Nah, that's what
ants are for.

And how, might I ask,
are we getting to school?

[♪♪♪]

This is humiliating.

[school bell rings]

And we're late.

All right, Nervous Nelly,
not to worry.

I have got this
handled.

"Please excuse Simon
for being late.

He was busy being
a full-time dweebus."

I'll use it.

[♪♪♪]

I don't think I'm ready
for my test tomorrow.

Don't even worry about it,
Theodore.

You're not going
to school tomorrow.

You and dear old dad

are going to that new water park
that just opened.

Oh, boy! Thanks, Alvin!

What kind of dad are you?

I'm the fun dad.

No, Theodore.

In case you haven't noticed,

I'm pretty busy here.

Oh, sorry.

But I'm also supposed to have
a costume for the play.

What? No, no, Theodore.

Come on! It's a stupid play.

But--
Theodore.

Wouldn't you rather play,
than be in a play?

No. Not really.

That's my boy.

Glad you understand.

Well, yes I did.

Pretty good dad, huh?

Well, no, Alvin.
You see, you see...

being a good parent
is about much more

than just
your own selfish needs.

It's about helping
your child grow.

[stuttering] And...here's
an idea, try listening to them!

Oh, sorry,
I wasn't listening.

Look at Theodore.

Look how sad Theodore is.

Well, a good parent
teaches their kids

that life is full
of disappointments.

[chanting]
Om

You've lost this bet
my friend

Om

You're not the judge.

All right then
let's get a jury of our peers

You choose three
and I'll choose three

Oh, fine!

So, members of the jury,

after hearing as well
as seeing all the evidence,

please raise your hand
if you think

Alvin is a competent parent.

[gasps]

What?
You guys were handpicked.

[whispers]
And I paid you.

Fine, we'll give you
your money back.

[whispers]
You're a terrible parent.

[♪♪♪]

Ugh. Cereal again?

Can't Miss Miller make soup?

Oh, well, she's not very good

in the kitchen, Dave.

Dave's still sick.

Simon, you gotta give me
one more chance, please.

I just know I can
turn this around.

I've seen
the errors of my ways

And believe me,
if I can't do it,

I'll take meditation classes
every weekend

for the rest of my life.

Alvin, is this because
you can't stand losing a bet?

Yes. But also,
I wanna prove I can do this.

All right.
I'll give you one last chance.

Tomorrow at 3?

No, no, that won't work.

How's today at 1?

No, I just told you,
I can't do 3.

No. Now, listen here, I--

Thespians?
Gather around.

This is our last dress rehearsal
before the play tomorrow,

and I'm not joking,
I want to see you sparkle.

Mr. Charles.

I'm sorry,
but he can't be in the play.

He's missed
too many rehearsals.

But I know all my lines.

I'm sorry, but I won't budge.

Mr. Charles, wait!
Please!

Theodore's been dying
to be part of this play

ever since he got the part.
Look at him.

He is perfect,

and he's worked
his behind off.

Don't penalize him
just because I-- I mean Dave,

was too selfish
to bring him to rehearsals.

[dramatically]
Remember, thy sins of the father

are not those of the child.

Oh! Spoken like
a true man of the theater.

All right, he's in.
Zack, you're out.

Praise the day.

Where are you going?

I've got to meet
the appliance man,

pick up the dry cleaning,

clean the house,
and make dinner!

[♪♪♪]

What in the world
happened here?

And where's Miss Miller?

I was an idiot!

I thought I could do it,

but this parenting job is...

[sobbing] I don't want
to do it anymore, Dave!

I'll help you, Alvin.

[exhausted breaths]

Wow, Alvin,
you did it!

Looks like you win.

I'm so humbled.

[chuckling]
Well, thank you, Simon.

I accept your defeat.

And let me just say that

I think there's an important
lesson here for all of us.

And when I say all of us,
I mean you.

That I, Alvin,
can do pretty much

anything I set my mind to.

Good news, Alvin.
I fixed the leak.

Heh, heh, heh.
Yes, teamwork!

That's the name
of the game.

Dave, um,
Alvin's gonna need a yoga mat.

Om.

Om... my gosh.

I hate this.
