Now, Mr Seville, why don't you
tell me why you're here?

It really started
this morning, when...

[alarm goes off]

What's on the agenda today,
Alecia?

You have a meeting at 9am with
the president of United Records.

[Alvin] Oh, Dave! Check it out!

I call it terrible tower
of tyres! It's a blast!

Alvin!

You mean you yelled at him?

Well, um... yes, yes.
But...

Mr Seville, I must say
I'm quite disappointed.

There is enough research

on the effects
of yelling at children.

Yelling can have the effect

of causing confidence problems
in children.

I'm sorry.
Did I say something funny?

No. It's just that...

Well, I don't think confidence
is one of Alvin's problems.

Really? And are you an expert?

h*, h*! Yes! I am awesome!

Yes! Oh, I can't be stopped!

And that's why I'm the most
amazing person in the world!

-Yeah.
-Hmm.

So, what happened
after you yelled at Alvin this morning?

Well, um, the boys got together

and I guess they decided
to have a little intervention.

Oh, I see. So, all your boys
think you need to stop yelling.

No, no.
I'm pretty sure it's just Alvin.

And why do you say that?

[party horn]

Happy Birthday, Dave!

Where's the cake?
Why do I not see any cake?

-Well, because it's not...
-Thank you for joining us.

We have gathered here
for an intervention.

What? You said
we were having a meeting

to discuss upgrading
the family computer.

Yeah, and you told me
there was gonna be a cake!

Those were just lies
to get you here. Now, shush!

Alvin.
Intervention for what?

Dave, your yelling!

It's really gotten
out of control.

-Am I right, guys?
-I don't think so.

No, I don't think that either.

I would, though, I would like
to know where the cake is.

Oh, come on. Yelling?
I don't yell that much.

Ugh! Yeah, you do.

Uh... can someone tell me
where the cake is?

Where's the cake?

You said
there was gonna be a cake!

That's why I came down! [sobs]

Is that correct, Mr Seville?
All you do is yell?

What? No. You know, I mean,
there are times when I do.

[Chipmunk song playing]

Alvin!

Well, I can see
where one might make that case.

Mr Seville, in a well-run home,

there is never a reason
to yell at children.

Doctor, with all due respect,

you don't know Alvin.

Oh, believe me,
the child is not the problem.

I'll come to your home
and see your parenting style

in order to correct it.

To see Alvin in action.

Oh, Alvin in action? Oh, well...
I would love that.

Oh! Thank you, Doctor,
for meeting with us!

You're the one who'll help Dave
stop yelling?

Yes. That is correct.

Well, Dave... um...

this might be good time
to tell you I failed my math test.

What?

I mean, well, you know,
that's... that's too bad.

At least you studied hard
and tried your very best.

Oh, Dave, I... I can't lie.

[sighs]
I forgot all about the test,

so I spent last night playing
Mega Marauders on my phone.

Mega Mar...?

Well, oh, so,
boys being boys. Yes, I...

Dr Sharpe,
I am so glad you're here!

Alvin...

Freeze, mister!

How often have I told you not
to leave your things where...?

Dave, where? Where?
Where shouldn't I leave my stuff?

I'm not a mind-reader!

Please! Just tell me!
I just want to please you!

Oh, oh, nothing.
You know, nothing. Just forget it.

Oh, come on! No milk, again?

Oh, there it is.

Oh, what? Oh, yuk!
Theodore, did you do this?

No, Dave. I didn't have
cereal this morning.

I had doughnuts and toast
and chocolate-covered raisins,

'cause, you know,
hashtag Health Food.

Oh, Alvin left the milk out last night.

And an omelette,
but just a little one.

Alvin!

How many times
have I told you...?

Sorry, Dave.
What were you saying?

Oh, um... nothing.

Oh! Oh, yeah, yeah!
And a croissant!

And I put...
I put a little jelly in it.

I can't believe I almost
forgot the croissant!

Oh, that was pretty much
the best part!

h*, h*! Gangway! Coming through!

What the...?

OK. So, yes,
we could be upset about that,

or just totally turn it on its head

and look at it as an opportunity
to get a new phone.

Bam! Rethinking!

Alv...!

But... but did you see
what he did?

He knows he's not supposed
to skateboard in the house!

Why, this is just a little boy
being a boy.

You're just a little boy
being a boy, aren't you?

Yes! Yes! Exactly!
I'm just a little boy being a boy.

Dr Sharpe, I think you're getting
the wrong impression.

-You don't understand!
-I understand completely.

-Goodbye. Thank you.
-No! But... but... Doctor!

Mr Seville!
Please stop yelling!

I will be in touch shortly
to give you my full report.

Now, goodbye!
I don't know what to do...

Dave, have you seen my ska...?
Oh! There it is!

OK, Alvin.
I'll be having lunch inside

for the next 30 minutes or so.

Don't try to jump over the wet cement
with your skateboard,

or write in it,
or touch it at all.

[snapping sound]

Oh! Now, look at this.

If that's not an accident
waiting to happen!

Somebody could take this
and jump over this wet cement.

This could be very dangerous.

A drone?

"Dear Alvin, this is my drone.

Please don't create
an indoor obstacle course

like you did last time,
when you shredded the drapes

and blah, blah, blah, blah,
broke the TV, blah, blah, blah,

Your brother, Simon."

Well, I wouldn't want to do
anything to upset my brother!

So, I'd better not touch it,

because I always respect
my brother's things.

Hey, Dave.
Have you seen my soccer cleats?

Yeah. I think
they're down in the basement,

by, um... Simon's new project.

OK. Thank you.

You're welcome.

h*, h*! Boy!

This is so cool!

Yes!

I knew Alvin
couldn't resist messing...

[high-pitched laser sound]

[screams] Aaah!

[Dave] You see?

There! There! I'm not crazy!

Look at what he did!
He cut the house in half!

Ugh! Please! An honest mistake.
Could have happened to anyone.

You could have taken off a leg!

One. Two.
Dave, you still have both legs, OK?

So, what's the big deal?
I mean, if I'll be getting in trouble

for all the things
I could have done, I mean...

Mr Seville, I just want to make sure
that I understand.

You set out traps for your own son
to motivate him to misbehave

in order to justify
yelling at him?

No! Well, well, yes,
but not the...

Yes! That's exactly what he did!
He trapped me!

No! No, no, no!
This is getting completely out of...

It was not what... Yes, OK.

Did I go a little too far? Yes.

But it was only because I wanted you
to know that I'm not crazy.

Mr Seville,
may I speak to you in the hall, please?

Ooh!

We'll be right outside, dear.
You be a good little boy, OK?

Yes. I'll stay right here
and be a good little boy.

Mr Seville, in all my years
of family therapy, I have never...

[crash]

Uh... this came off?

No. No. We were... No.
But... no,

we were outside
for only a couple of seconds!

How is this possible?

Well, you know,
it's just a boy being a boy.

Alvin!

-Ooh, she was mad!
-Oh, yeah.

You know, if anyone is gonna
yell at me, I want it to be you.

Aw, thanks, Alvin.

[crash]

Alvin!

Quick, run, Dave. Dave, run, run!
Get to the car!

[school bell rings]

So why do we study history?

-Alvin?
-To fall asleep?

[laughter]

Simon, help me out here.

Do I disturb?

Actually, yes, we're...

I have an exciting announcement
to make.

You, dear students,
are about to make history.

Not more history!

OK, don't interrupt me.
I have this whole speech memorised

and I do not want
to lose momentum.

Where was I? Ahem!

We are... Are you ready? Yes?

Making a time capsule!

Excuse me, sir,
what's a time capsule?

First, you will all find

and bring meaningful
objects to school.

Then, we will dig a hole.
Dig a hole...

Oh, no. He's miming.
This is so awkward to watch.

...and place all our artefacts
into a special box,

which will replace the old one.

But I thought they weren't supposed
to open that

for... for 100 years!

Well, I guess they couldn't wait.

So, anyway, all your artefacts
are due in two days!

Cheerio!

Theodore. Theodore.
Check it out.

Miss Smith
is actually wringing her hands.

No, I think she's just miming.

Oh, guys,

I just can't decide
which would be more me.

This photo or this one?

Yeah, uh...

the last thing people want to see
in 100 years is your face.

Oh, really?
What are you putting in?

That's exactly what someone
wants to see 100 years from now.

-Your dirty laundry.
-This isn't laundry!

-These are the latest fashions!
-Uh, excuse me!

-Is that my shirt?
-Well, you can't expect me

to give away mine.

I'm putting in
my favourite muffins!

No, no, Theodore.
You can't put food in. OK?

It'll go rotten.

Oh! OK.

Well, then I guess
I have to eat these.

Too bad.

OK, guys, almost dinner time.
Hey, what's going on?

We're collecting things
for a new time capsule.

That's great! I remember,
they did one a while ago.

We know, Dave.
They're digging it up.

What? It was supposed
to be sealed for 100 years!

Well, I guess
they changed their mind.

The ceremony is tomorrow.

I'm going to put in
my favourite cereal!

Theodore, listen to me now.
There's no food. OK?

What are you not understanding
about this?

What? Not... not even cereal?

It's... it's already stale!

-You seem worried, Dave.
-Me? No. I'm not worried.

You know, I'm just, you know...

excited for you guys.
You know. That... that's all.

All right, well,
um... have... have fun.

Did you see that?
Dave is acting super weird.

Alvin, you always think
Dave's acting weird.

Yeah, well, especially
when he's acting super weird.

But I'm not being...
what's that word you used, Simon?

-Delusional.
-Right. Right.

Well, I'm not that! OK?

Dave was really freaked out
when he heard about the time capsule,

just like Miss Smith.

But why would they care
about an old time capsule?

That's exactly
what I intend to find out.

Ugh! Do it in the morning.
Please!

-Aaah! Alvin!
-h*, h*! Why so jumpy, Dave?

Afraid of being... found out?

What? Wait. Alvin. Found out?
No. And I'm not jumpy.

If you say so, Seville.

Uh, Alvin. That's my juice.

Well, it's very simple, Seville.
Come clean

and I'll give you back your juice.
And your oatmeal.

I don't know what you're up to,

but I'm not in the mood for it.

OK. So, that's how
you want to play it, OK.

I get ya.
Pretending what's going on

isn't really what's going on.
Uh-huh. Well, I'm onto ya, OK?

-Put it in your pipe, Seville.
-Stop calling me Seville.

Now, what's all this about?

This is about your interest
in the time capsule!

Come on, what are you hiding?

I mean that... Oh, OK.
I've got a conference call.

And so, for tomorrow,
I want you to think about

why the author wrote this story.

[school bell rings]

Alvin, what are you staring at?

Oh! Nothing!
Nothing, Miss Smith.

Just thinking about
that time capsule.

-What about it?
-Oh, I'm just excited,

it's being opened early.
Aren't you?

Me? Oh. Um.
Well, I haven't, uh...

I haven't given it much thought,
to be honest.

-Really?
-Really.

You seemed to care
the other day.

Alvin, unless you want an F,
I'd stop talking right now

and get to your next class.

All right, fine. I'm going.

-What's that?
-None of your business!

Now, go!

We have to move quickly.

[Alvin] Guess who has proof?

And you didn't think
I could get any.

Proof of what, Alvin?

Proof that something
in that time capsule

really bothers Miss Smith.

Oh! This could be big.

I mean huge! I'm talking global.

-There's no conspiracy here.
-Oh, yeah?

Then why did I see this map
on Miss Smith's desk?

Here is where
the time capsule is buried!

And there's something in it
she wants.

Oh. OK, I'm impressed.
You copied that from memory?

Yes, I did, Simon. Because
I have a mind like a steel trap!

It's a shame you never applied
that talent to your homework.

Uh, thank you, Dad.

Anyway, I heard Miss Smith
talking on the phone.

Now you're eavesdropping?

Can I help it if she's speaking loudly
as I'm outside... listening?

Anyway, the point is,
she's planning something soon,

maybe even tonight!

She said on the phone,
and I quote,

"We have to move quickly."

Who was she talking to?

Well, I don't know.
But this I do know.

Whatever it is,
it is going down tonight.

[Chipmunk song playing]

Alvin, get down here. We're not
gonna do all the work for you.

Someone has to hold the light.

Isn't that
what our headlights are for?

Yes, it is, Theodore.
Alvin. Come on down.

All right.

What's this?

Simon! That's it!
You found the time capsule!

Oh! Oh! That's fantastic!

Almost there.

We have to open it.
Theodore, why don't you do it?

Wait. What? Why me?

Theodore, come on.
Because if we get caught,

you won't be
in as much trouble as I will.

-Aaah!
-Hand it over.

-That's ours.
-Aaah!

Dave? Miss Smith?
What are you guys doing here?

h*, h*! I knew it!
This really is a conspiracy.

Who else is in on it?
The Principal? The Mayor?

-The shifty-eyed janitor?
-There's no conspiracy, OK?

Would you please just
hand over the time capsule.

Oh, I'd rather destroy
this time capsule

than see the two of you
tried for high treason!

Run, Theodore! Save Dave!

-Get back here!
-Oh. OK.

Give me that!

Stay where you are!
Stay where you are!

If you take one more step,
I toss it!

Oh, just relax, Alvin.

I guess we'd better
tell them the truth.

It's less damaging
than whatever his brain can cook up.

You're right. Look, let's just
sit down for a minute, OK?

It's not serious.
It's just kind of embarrassing.

So, you see, we just didn't want
it opened because it's private.

I wrote
all these romantic letters.

"Age doesn't matter.
What's a few years

when our hearts are peers

and love will steer us together
forever."

-Lame.
-I was ten!

Oh, OK, well... not bad.

What did Miss Smith say
when she read the poem?

Never gonna happen!

Guys, we didn't want you
to be embarrassed.

Um... Miss Smith,
what happened to you?

Oh! Not, I mean,
not that you're not, you know,

just, you know,
that you just look different.

Really different.

But, you know,
once you close your eyes and squint

and what not, you know,
I can see a slight resemblance.

[both] Alvin!

Oh, Cheesy! What is that smell?

-Uh... cheese?
-You can't put food in there.

I tried. It'll go rotten.

Oh, no, this is different.
It's cheese.

I'm very confused.

OK, everyone, gather around!

Let us open
the old time capsule!

-Oh, behold! A cassette tape!
-Huh? A what?

A jazzercize head band?

-[farting] What?
-[laughter]

No. No. That was not me, OK?
I'm not going down for this.

It says right here, Farty Putty.
Look! All right, let's move on.

Ooh, what do we have here?
It's a photo of a couple.

Oh! Oh... OK!

[burps]

Miss Smith, thank you
for keeping that secret.

-No problem.
-And since we're friends now...

No. We're not friends.

Well, no. I mean,
since we could have been family,

maybe, you could give me
an easy pass this semester.

You know,
it could be our secret.

Like yours and Dave's.
Come on, whaddaya say, Mom?

What? Did you just...?
What did you call me?

-Mommy.
-No!

Don't you ever call me that again!
I'm not family!

I know Dave was 10.
But if you'd given him a chance...

Alvin!
