[Alvin] You want me to find out
if he likes you?

Amber, how am I supposed to do that?

Alvin, you're not talking
to a friend are you?

Yes, ma'am. We're very happy
with our service.

-All right. Goodbye.
-[Amber] Alvin, what...

Goodbye!

Dave, when did you just sneak in here?

I just got a call from Miss Smith.

She said you're not
paying attention in class!

-Since when is that news?
-And, Simon,

she said you're falling asleep in class.

-Why are you so tired?
-Dave, look, OK?

Simon and I have
a lot of responsibilities

outside the house.
You wouldn't know this,

but when you're popular, like I am...

Thank you, Alvin.

Simon, why are you
falling asleep in class?

Oh, well, I signed up to volunteer

for this after-school
programme and, you know,

it, uh, well, it's taking a lot
more of my time than I expected.

OK, look, I admire that,

but you've got
your mid-term exams this week,

and I don't want you boys doing anything

that compromises
your grades or your health.

-Is...is that clear?
-[Alvin and Simon] Yes, Dave.

[door bell rings]

Mr Seville, let me be the first
to congratulate you.

Your neighbours have nominated you
for the Good Samaritan Award

-of our district!
-Oh, that's very kind.

No, it is you who are kind, Mr Seville.

You are a model citizen

who's always ready to lend a helping hand

and it has not gone unnoticed.

I'm very flattered.

I just need you to fill out
a few questionnaires

before the interview next week.

Whoa!
Oh, this is gonna keep me busy.

Tha... thank you, Miss Warren.

There. All finished.

[Miss Croner] Crawford, get over here!

I'm going out of town and
I need you to watch my house.

Make sure no one comes snooping around.

And make sure the cats
are fed twice a day.

Oh, and... and Shirley
needs her medication.

-[Theodore] Shirley?
-[Miss Croner] My oldest cat!

Two drops in her left eye.

Also, the rose bushes.

Well... well, the instructions
are on the refrigerator.

You can enter the house
through the kitty door.

-But...
-I must be on my way. Goodbye.

[Theodore]
Miss Croner is going out of town

and... and she wants me
to look after everything.

But, oh, it's so much work and...

So... Oh, Dave!
Miss Croner, she wants...

[Alvin] Ahem!

-[whistling]
-Uh, so...

That... that happened.

-What happened?
-This... this girl, um...

She was... she was lost.

But, uh, but then, this big lizard...

-What? Big lizard?
-He meant Miss Croner.

We call her the big lizard.

Have you ever seen that thing
she does with her tongue?

Anyway, um, she came by and said hello.

Yeah, right before she said goodbye.

-She... she went out of town.
-OK. Well, look,

you guys should get back
to your homework.

Give me a break this week, all right?

Something just came up
that I need to focus on.

Theodore!
Dave just had a total meltdown

-about us helping other people!
-What?

Yeah, said we're not allowed
to do anything for anybody!

But... What...
what if I found a little kitten?

Theodore, you're not paying attention.

Dave said, "No helping anybody
under any circumstances!"

OK, hold on, hold on.
Dave definitely didn't say that.

But taking care of Miss Croner's
cats and laundry

and, well, rose bushes,
that'll definitely set him off.

Thought we were raised
to be kind and helpful.

Not this week.

[alarm]

[Theodore] Oh, I gotta feed the cats
and give Shirley her drops.

[Alvin] Theodore, you can't
let Dave see you leave!

Oh, right.

[Dave] Yes, uh, yes, Miss Smith.

I told them they're
not allowed to do anything

for anyone this week.

Yes. No, you have my word,
Miss Smith.

"Feed cats, water rose bushes,

clean kitty litter,
bring in the mail..."

[Chipmunk song playing]

-That was really rough.
-[Dave] Fellas! Dinner!

[gasps] What are you gonna
say to Dave?

I don't know.

Theodore, what happened?

I... uh, I fell.

-Where?
-Where?

Uh, outside.

Uh, outside on... on the sidewalk.

What were you doing outside?

You were supposed to be doing
your homework!

-Oh, yeah... I...
-It's a very simple explanation!

You know, he was outside

because his homework
flew out the window!

How'd you get all the scratches?

[Theodore] Uh... I, uh, I fell.

I fell and... and then...

And then, you know, rolled into
the neighbour's rose bushes.

-Rolled?
-Yeah.

I... I rolled into a rose bush.

Yes! As one does, when they fall.

Maybe you've never fallen,
but that's what happens.

Oh, well, OK.

-Um, are you all right?
-Yeah. I'm fine.

Falling on the sidewalk?

Theodore, you have
got to think before you speak!

-What are you doing?
-I have to keep an eye

on Miss Croner's house

and, you know, make sure
no one comes snooping around.

Uh, I have got to give Shirley
her drops again.

-[miaows]
-[Theodore] OK, now, Miss Shirley,

you're making this a lot harder
than it has to be.

Now... now just hold still.

No, Shirley, wait!

[screams]

Ow! Shirley's a jerk!

-[all] Aaah!
-Boy, you guys are jumpy.

[gasps] Theodore, what happened?

Oh, I... I fell again?

On the sidewalk?

And, uh, rolled into another rose bush.

Well, try and stay off
the sidewalk, Theodore.

It's obviously very dangerous.

OK, Theodore, we've gotta
figure out a way to help you.

Thank you.

[Simon]
All right, I think I have everything.

Now we just need to set the traps.

If anyone comes snooping around
Miss Croner's house,

they will be very sorry.

Come on, let's go.

OK, the sensors are on, so be careful.

Alvin, don't go any closer!

I have camouflaged traps
all over the ground.

[Simon] OK, one trap goes here,
and another one here.

OK, I've got a couple more things to do,

so you guys stay here.

I'll be right back.

"In a thousand words or more,

list the benefits of helping others."

Does... does this thing ever end?

OK, time for bed.

Huh? Oh, no!
Miss Croner's out of town!

[Simon] All set.

Let's go!

Hello? Hello?

OK, I'm... I'm out here.

-[alarm]
-Aaah!

[Theodore] I slept really good
last night. Thanks, guys.

Oh, you're welcome. It was silly
of you to stay up all night.

I mean, the chances of a burglar...

Oh, wait. What?

Simon, don't tell the police it's us!

We can't let Dave know we're involved.

Uh, yes, I'd like to report
a burglary at 705, Liberty Lane.

[Alvin] OK, Dave, we're ready for school!

-Da... Da... Dave?
-[Simon] Oh, he's been working so hard.

Let him sleep. You know,
we'll just walk to school.

[sirens]

You're telling me,
so I can get this straight,

you were being a good Samaritan?

Figured you'd catch the thief
all by yourself?

I just thought I could scare them away.

Oh, OK, because you're such
an intimidating figure, right?

Did it ever occur to you
to call the police?

I thought I'd check it out first.

OK, stay here, OK?
I'm gonna check around the house.

Watch how it's done!

-[alarm]
-Aaah!

Well, see ya.

I have to feed the cats and...
and put Shirley's eye drops in.

Oh, not to worry,
I took care of that last night.

Miaow!

Uh, I'm thinkin' out loud,

maybe this just stays between you and me.

Oh, I'm good with that.

So, you fell on the sidewalk

and... and rolled into a rose bush?

[Dave] Yup.

-[door bell and phone ring]
-Guys, get the door, will ya?

Hello?

Hello, darling boy. Can you
could help us and fetch...

No! No, sorry.

Dave says we're not allowed
to help anybody.

-Excuse me?
-Oh, hey, guys!

Theodore, Miss Croner just called

and wants to thank you for something.

-Another good Samaritan.
-But why?

'Cause... 'cause I didn't do anything!

I wouldn't help her
even if she really needed it!

-I... I promise, Dave!
-Well, that's not very nice!

Oh, Dave, make up your mind!

First you tell us
we're not to help a little baby

even if it's crying in an alley,

or a little kitten
that's lost its mother!

I never said that!

What do you have against helping people?

[Dave] I just meant for this week!

Wait! Don't you want the questionnaire?

Alvin!

[Alvin] Cool, wasn't it? Wait!

[inhales]
Oh! Do you guys smell that?

Yeah, where's it coming from?

Hey, what...
what happened to Theodore?

[panting]

Oh, OK. Mystery solved.

-Alvin, can... can I borrow $4?
-[Alvin] What?

I'm saving up
for my new video game!

OK, OK, so that's a "no".

Uh, Simon, can I borrow $4?

Uh, well, you still owe me eight.

And you owe me 12.

Uh, 306.

Ugh! You spent
all that money on cupcakes!

Theodore, you are addicted!

Oh, really, Alvin?

It's no different
than you and your video games!

Oh, please.
It's totally different.

You know why, Theodore?
I am not addicted to video games!

Ugh! Not... not addicted?
h*, h*! That's a laugh.

Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah?
What about you? Huh?

How long do you think you'd last
without all your, you know,

that... that sciency stuff?

[robotic] My name is Simon.
I must fill my brainal cavity

with useless information.

Gigabytes, Ethernet,
router, glorbodex...

Uh, Alvin, Alvin, first of all,

glorbodex isn't even a thing,
OK? Doesn't exist!

-And second of all...
-Oh, wait, wait!

I have an idea!

How would all of you like to get
exactly what you want?

Jeanette, what are you talking about?

Well, I'm just thinking
this might be

the perfect project
for my psychology class.

Meet me in the school basement
tomorrow morning at ten.

[Jeanette] OK, guys, here are the rules.

Each of you has your own room
with the item you most desire.

To get those items,
you must go three hours

without touching any part of it.

Also, you must not tell anyone
this is a test, OK?

If you break either of these
rules, you don't get the items.

-Any questions?
-Three hours? You're kidding!

Come on, is that all?
I thought this was gonna be hard!

It is hard!
I... I haven't eaten since breakfast!

Ugh! Theodore,
that was 15 minutes ago.

-I know!
-[Jeanette] Ready?

On your mark, get set, go!

Oh, come on! You really thought
this was gonna tempt me?

Oh, please. What is it,
you know, a video game?

Ooh! Oh, look, I don't know
what to do. I'm so tempted!

Ooh, a Mach4 gaming system.

OK, OK, I'll give it to you.
That's... that's pretty cool.

So, what's the game?

Mega-Ultra Dungeon Master 6

with... with the new
tri-blade sorcery sword?

[gasps]

I can't breathe.

[Simon] It... it can't be!
I heard about it,

but I thought
it was just a myth!

The anti-grav hoverboard!

No way!
"Some assembly required".

Oh! Oh!
My three favourite words.

Without touching any part of it...
any part of it.

Oh!

Oh, I knew it.

Triple supreme cupcakes and...

[gasps] Hold on.

It's not triple supreme.

It's...

quad supreme!

Oh, I didn't even think
that was possible!

Why? Why couldn't it have been
Brussels sprouts?

[Brittany] h*, h*!
Now this is entertainment!

♪ Yeah ♪

♪ I can't sit still ♪

♪ I can't slow down ♪

♪ I need something to do right now ♪

No, no, no! Don't touch it, Simon!
Don't touch it!

Hey, girls, how ya doin'?

[chuckles] You probably
thought that your tactics

were gonna make me cave, right?
You know, El Crumble, you know,

you know, knock old Alvin down!
He'll never make it!

Well, guess what?
I'll never give in!

And, all I have to do, you know,
is make it for another...

Wait. That can't be...
Two hours and 55 minutes?

You mean I've only
been in here five minutes?

No!

[Theodore] Now, Clarence,
that wasn't a very nice thing to say

to... to Little Taffy.

You... you should apologise.

Um, hey,

has anyone actually, like, gone
insane from this test before?

Yeah, I don't know.

It's, um, it's a little more
intense than I imagined.

I think it's time to raise
the temptation level!

Oh...

-[Alvin] Who are you?
-I'm... I'm Jackson.

Some people out there told me
there was a video game

-I could try out in here.
-A game? A game?

Kid, kid, OK, I mean,
I know you're young,

but that's like saying
the Grand Canyon is a ditch!

All right? Now listen to me now!

OK? Because what you are standing
in the presence of

is Mega-Ultra Dungeon Master 6 with a...

Wow! Look at that guy!

He... he's got a sword!

Yes, he has a sword!
OK, all right,

you know, but what
sets this apart is that...

-Don't... don't touch that!
-Wow! This is so cool!

Argh!

How do ya do?
Ha, ha! I'm Marvin Bumpkis

and I understand
you need a little help

putting some sort of hovery
thing-a-ma-jiggy together.

Are... are you kidding me?

Well, you just look ravishing,
Miss Ginger.

Absolutely scrumptious.

What... what's that?

Oh, that's so sweet
of you to say.

No. No. You can't go through
the Plains of Nebo!

How many times
must I tell you that?

Ooh, ooh!
Seems I've gotten myself

into a little bit of a bind here.

Oof! Get this off!

I said triangle! Press triangle!

That's, you know, the three
pointy... No, no, that's star!

OK, OK, look, look! Do you
even know what a triangle is?

Star! Star! Star!

Wait a minute.
Where are the wheels?

There are no wheels!

It's a hoverboard!
That's the whole point!

Guys, this is great!

Should we increase it
to temptation level 3?

I don't know.
This is so brutal.

I'm not sure they can handle it.

Well, there's only
one way to find out!

-[door buzzes open]
-No! I didn't touch it!

Wait. Who are you?

Brittany told us that
we could eat these cupcakes,

but we had to come in here
and eat them.

That's just cruel!

[laughter]

[Alvin] Wait, wait, wait... Bocarter?
What are you doing here?

Brittany said you wanted to challenge me.

I told her playing against you
is never a challenge.

²She said I should tell you that.

Oh, she did, did she?

-Here you go.
-No. No. No, no, no.

Keep it away from me.
Keep it away!

Ha! Seriously?
You don't want to play me?

I've never seen you turn down
a challenge. Afraid you'll lose?

[Jackson]
You're not chicken, are you, Alvin?

Don't... don't come any closer!
Get that thing away from me!

OK, now, now, just click
the anti-gravity converter

onto the back connector.

There we go. No, no, no, no,
the back connector! OK?

That's the front. The back would
be the opposite. OK, here, look.

Just, here, here,
take a peek at the picture.

-See? See? Like the picture!
-Oh. Okey-dokey.

OK, now,
all we have to do is press start

and... and we can see
what this thing can do!

-[phone rings]
-Go for Marvin, Geeks-R-Us.

OK. I see.

-I'll be right back.
-OK, OK, OK,

but, you know, just press start!
OK? Just... before you go.

Hold on! Hold on! Press start!

Come back! Just press start! Please!

Would you like to try some of mine?

No, no.

I... I just want to watch you eat.

Here.

No! No! No!

Chicken! Bock-bock-bock!

No...

Yes! Yes!
OK, yes, give it to me!

[alarm]

[robotic voice] You have failed.

[chuckles]

Oh, Bocarter, you are history!

[alarm]

[robotic voice] You have failed.

I gotta... Don't do it, Simon.

Ah! I can't help it!

[alarm]

[robotic voice] You have failed.

Oh, I can't believe it.

How much time did we have left?

Five minutes.

[Brittany chuckles]
You waited all that time

and you just couldn't wait
another five minutes?

-Like you'd do any better.
-Oh, please!

Of course I would!

And you know why, Alvin?

I have self-control.

[Jeanette] Well, funny, funny,
because, um, actually,

I had a room set up for you,
just, you know,

in case one of the boys
changed their mind.

Really? Well, what is it?

[gasps]

[alarm]

[robotic voice] You have failed.

OK, so it was harder than I thought.
