Welcome
to the Ring of Destruction

for the inaugural match
of Mega Bounce Battle,

where the only rule is...

Ha, ha! There are no rules!

-What?
-What about biting?

-Is biting allowed?
-No. Of course not.

You said there were no...

OK, Theodore. Fine. OK?

No rules, except for biting.

-What about headlocks?
-Of course! Anything goes!

Except biting.

Yes, except biting!

Oh, well, um... you know,

since we're doing
that concert tomorrow night,

we don't want to damage
our vocal cords.

OK, that's true.
Didn't think of that.

OK. No rules,

except for no biting
and no headlocks!

What?

[yawns] What about eye poking?

No, no, absolutely not.

My favourite show,
Trash Can Wars, is on tonight

so I'm definitely
gonna need my eyes.

OK. That's good. You know,

always nice to have
such a clear purpose for your eyes.

Oh! Oh! What about leg sweeps?

Theodore, come on!
Our soccer tournament's coming up.

-Oh, that's a good point.
-Oh, oh, question.

Um, leg sweep more of a Judo
or Karate move?

Well, it doesn't really belong
under the ill*gal Martial Arts section.

Put it under sub-section IV
of Lower Extremities.

OK. Got it.

-Oh! Oh! Pulling hair?
-Theodore, no.

-Foot stomping?
-No.

What about, um... licking?

[both] No!

That's it, OK? I don't want
to hear any more about this!

It's time to play!

We now begin
the Mega Bounce Battle,

where the only rule is...

there are no rules!

Yeah. Except all the ones
in Simon's notebook.

Yes, OK, except for those
in Simon's notebook.

OK, now, come on.
On your mark! Get set! And...

OK, guys! Time to come in!

Dave! Please! We're right
in the middle of something here!

Yeah! It's called
Mega Bounce Battle.

A battle
where there are no rules,

except those in Simon's notebook.

Guys, no.
No. It sounds too dangerous.

Aw, sh**t!

Guys? Hold on! Hold on!

Where are you going?

What do you mean?
Dave just said he didn't want us to play.

Yes, OK, yes. But... um...

Guys, guys, wait right here, OK?

Let me just go talk to him, OK?
I'll be right back.

Alvin, gotta run some errands.
But I'll be back soon.

Dave, Dave, um, about Mega...
you know, Fluffy Funtime...

You mean Mega Bounce Battle,
"where there are no rules"?

Yes! But, except for those
in Simon's notebook!

Alvin, you can't just rename it
and think that makes it safer.

It's too dangerous.

End of discussion.

And we need to get you
some clothes for the concert,

-so be ready when I get back.
-Yeah, yeah. Whatever.

Oh! Dave! Dave!
Thank you! Thank you!

You're the best!

-What did he say?
-Oh, well, he agreed

we could play one round
of Mega Bounce Battle.

Really?
He seemed so against it before.

I know, right?

Must have just worn him down
with my incredible charm.

All right!
Everyone, take your positions!

Welcome
to the Ring of Destruction

for the inaugural match
of Mega Bounce Battle,

where the only rule is...
there are no rules!

Yeah. Except those...

Except those in the notebook! OK?

Now, on your mark!
Get set! Go!

Thimon! Ith he alive?

-Lemme...lemme...
-Alvin, please just stop it!

Theo! Come back to uth!

-Hi.
-Oh! Oh, thank goodness!

Oh, boy, we are tho buthded!

So busted?
Why are we so busted?

Well, technically,

Dave didn't thay
we could play Mega Bounthe Battle.

Although, technically,
he could have

and I juth didn't hear it.

OK. Um, Alvin...

We juth have to plan together

-and...
-Um, no, no. Not that.

I'm pretty sure you lost something.

Hold on, hold on.
Maybe it's not that noticeable.

Let me just take a look.

-Aaah! Aaah!
-What? Ith it... ith it bad?

Oh! Oh, no, no.
You know, hardly noticeable at all.

Oh, yeah. We are tho buthded!

[Simon] Dave is gonna flip
when he sees my glasses!

Thimon, juth wear
your replacement pair.

You mean the pair you broke

when you dressed up
as a nerd on Halloween?

-Oh... Oh, boy.
-Oh, thath's right. Good timth.

-What am I gonna do?
-He probably won't even notith.

Of course he's gonna notice!

I've got one lens in one
and the other's gone!

Alvin, what did you just do?

Thimon, now he won't be able
to tell the differenth,

OK? You're welcome.

Great idea, Alvin.
Now I can't see at all!

Oh, right. Thorry.

Guys! I... I have a problem.

[sigh of relief]
I thought my arms got shorter.

But... but I guess
my sleeves got longer.

You sure you're OK, Theodore?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fline.

-Fline?
-What? Did I say fline?

[laughs] No.

What I meant to say
was I'm fline.

We're all fine. All we have to do
ith thtay away from Dave

for a couple dayth and,
you know, at thome point,

you tell him
that you broke your glatheth

and the day after that,
I tell him I lotht my tooth

playing thoccer or thomething.

[Dave] I'm home! Come on! We'll go
get some clothes for the concert!

We're all just fline.

Sorry it took so long
for me to get home.

Where is Humpty?
And what did he do with his Dumpty?

And... and who's this bloke?

Um, Theodore? Why are you talking
with a British accent?

I'm not. I don't even know
how to talk with a British accent.

Um, Dave, Dave.
Um, it's a little tight.

He'th over there!

-What do you think of these?
-Good.

Good? That's it?

I can't remember the last time
you had a one-word opinion.

-Yeah.
-Are you feeling OK?

Mmm-hmm.

OK. Weird.

So, is the big, nice man
gonna pay for all of this?

I don't know, Alvin.
Are you sure he looks OK?

And don't tell me he's "fline".

Thimon, he probably just needs
a good night sleep.

[Chipmunk song playing]

[cheering]

-Guys, ready?
-All set, Dave!

Alvin, are you smiling?
What happened to your lisp?

-Temporary tooth replacement.
-Oh, really? With what?

A Thiclet.

All right,
it's not the best solution,

but all I have to do

is stay away from songs
with a lot of "S"s.

Wow! This... this is neat!

Who... who's playing?

Oh, boy.

-Are you kidding? We are!
-Oh!

Well,
I guess we should get ready.

Theodore, what are you doing?
You play the drums!

Oh! Right, right.

Which ones are the drums again?

Wow!

Aaah!

-OK, I'm ready!
-Simon! Turn around!

And, Theodore, get up!

All right!
Ready, governor!

[man] Ladies and gentlemen...
The Chipmunks!

One! Two!

One, two, three, four!

-Ow!
-Oops! Sorry!

Um, I'd like to apologise
for my brother...

Aaah!

Um, thorry, thorry.
While my brother lookth for...

Found one!

Tho, while Theodore
lookth for hith other thtick,

doeth anyone have any requesth?

-"Sweet Sassy Sally"!
-Awethome.

Oh! Found the other one!

Alvin, what's going on?

Oh, no! I unplugged the cord!

Aaah!

Alvin! Look out!

-[Alvin and Simon] Whoa!
-[Theodore] Aaah!

You mean all this happened
because of Mega Bounce Battle?

It was an accident!

OK, we're getting rid of the trampoline
as soon as we get home.

But, first,
you're going to the dentist

and I'm taking you
to the eye doctor and you...

Mister!
I keep telling you, I'm fline!

Wow! Did anyone
just see that elephant?

OK, change of plans.

First thing we do is get
Theodore to the hospital.

It's so nice
to be able to see again.

I... I still can't believe
I was talking with a British accent.

I didn't even know
I knew a different language.

Guys! Guys!
I just made up a brand new game

that's gonna be way cooler
than Mega Bounce Battle!

Here, take these sticks
to the treehouse.

Oh! What's it called?

I call it High-flying,
Death-defying Mega Duel.

Oh, well, that sounds safe.

I know! I'll be right back!

I'm gonna go get us
some blindfolds!

What did you call it?

Oh, um, well,

this game... it's called, um,
uh, you know...

smaller Mega,
not like a huge mega,

like Gentle Duel...
of... of Love.

-Give me the sticks, guys.
-Run!

-Give me the sticks!
-Run, guys! Run!

[Theodore] Newspaper!

Get your school newspaper!

Can... can I interest you in...?

OK. Uh...

Interesting things
going on in our school!

Read about it here!

Theodore, I don't see anyone
with the school newspaper!

Yeah, I... I don't think
they want to read the paper.

But I was thinking
maybe I could write an article about...

The students aren't even reading
the articles we have now.

I can't be bringing on
another writer.

-Oh! Paper?
-You'll never guess what Jessie told me.

Wait. You know?
Can you believe it?

OK, cool, cool.

Well, uh...
come back if you want some news!

-Ooh! I'll take one.
-Oh! OK, thanks!

See? Everybody loves the news.

Hey!
A lot of work went into that.

Oh, really?
'Cause it tastes delicious!

It should be, because it's made
from recycled toilet paper,

but it's also
very rude of you to...

[laughter]

[snoring]

We gotta get really serious,

because if kids don't start
reading the paper,

we're gonna get shut down.

We need articles, OK?
Interesting articles!

Frozen-food reviews!
Elf spottings!

Best home remedies for eczema!

Why is everyone
looking at me like that?

OK, never mind.
That was gold, but whatever.

Come on, people!
Interesting ideas! OK? Let's hear 'em!

No such thing as a bad idea...
except Cheesy's.

How about a section
on the nice things

people are doing for each other
around the school?

Theodore, you're not supposed
to talk! You're an intern.

-Oh, OK. That's not very nice.
-[school bell rings]

I need stories, guys!
Interesting stories!

[dispirited] Get your newspaper.
Step right up.

-Thanks! Can I take two?
-Sure.

Wait! Wait! Are you gonna
use that for spitballs?

No way. I'm gonna read it.
My friend just wants one too.

-Get your...
-[girl] There it is.

-Step right...
-[boy] I'll take one.

-Newspapers...
-[other boy] I want one.

Theodore.
Theodore, we gotta talk.

I know! I need more newspapers!

No, I know that!
Everyone's freaking out!

I came here to apologise.

You wrote a great article

and I'm glad you didn't use
your name, just the initials.

Nice touch.
Just keep it mysterious.

Thank you. Um... but, sorry,
what are we talking about?

My... my article?

OK. You want to call it a column?
Fine. Just keep it coming.

OK, listen to this,

"Derek, who is usually
the wedgie-giver,

is spotted getting
a taste of his own medicine!"

[laughter]

Kevin! Kevin!
I didn't write that!

That's good. You don't want
people to know it's you. I get it.

Say it again, but louder.

Who did this?

I don't know, but... I mean...
it wasn't Theodore!

What? Why would you say that?

Yeah, why would you say that?

All right, class,
put the papers away.

I can see you're all fascinated
with Derek's wedgie,

but it's time to start class.
That means you too, Derek.

-This isn't over.
-Are you sure? Maybe it can be?

I mean, it feels over to me.

[snoring]

Oh! We're a newspaper,
not a gossip rag!

Yeah, but we finally have readers!
Hundreds of them!

I totally agree with Simon.
We're better than this.

I told you, if we don't get the readers,
the school won't fund the paper.

Now go out there and give them
more stories like Theodore wrote!

Then I quit. I don't want to be part
of a newspaper

-that embarrasses people.
-I quit too.

Well, I don't care.
I've got the best reporter in the school.

I... I just want to go on record
and say

I didn't write this
and I didn't take any photos.

Theodore, I totally believe you

and I'm gonna find out
who did do all this.

And I will also find out
who did all this!

We are in this together!

Ugh! Cheesy.
Sorry. It's not personal. I just...

-I don't work with a partner.
-Well, I don't either,

but here we are, partners.
So, tough break on us.

Ugh! Whatever!

Theodore, put the cookie down.

I know you need pictures
for a new article

and I've got some great ideas!

Alvin, are you sure
this is a good deed?

'Cause, uh... it doesn't look
very heroic on camera.

Theodore! Theodore! No!
Don't take the picture yet!

I'm supposed to be rescuing
the cat from the tree,

but I gotta get up there first
and this cat is not cooperating!

Ow! Ow! Hey!

Hey! Cat!

you can't leave me here!

-Oh! I'm getting great shots!
-No!

I don't want pictures of this!

[gasps] You little creep!

I knew you took
that picture of me!

No! No! Derek, I promise!

This isn't what it looks like!

-Aaah!
-Get back here! Come here!

Hey, guys! Wait!

Will someone please call
the fire department? Help!

I love the picture of Alvin
being saved by the cat!

But I like what you submitted
last night even better.

Wait. What stuff?

-[gasps]
-h*, h*!

Annie is gonna freak
when she sees it.

-[farting]
-[Eleanor] Ew!

Cheesy, oh, my gosh!

Oh, hi there.

What are you doing in here?

Kevin, you'd love it!
We're spying on everyone

to figure out
who wrote the articles.

Cheesy!

I can't tell Kevin?
Why, is he a suspect?

Find out who's what?

Unbelievable!

This is why I work alone,
by the way.

Wait, Eleanor, I don't know
why I said that! I got nervous!

Oh, that was weird!

Anyway, Theodore,
keep up the embarrassing shots.

No, I keep telling you, Kevin!

I'm only going to take
nice pictures!

Oh. Right. Right.
"Nice pictures". Got it.

[Chipmunk song playing]

[gasps]

Eleanor! Check it out!
Look what I found.

Pretty weird, huh?

No, Cheesy! Stop!
Look at this!

It's the same initials
as the articles' writer.

So? That means... like... what?

Really, Cheesy?

OK, so, if we can find
the owner of this briefcase,

we can find out
who wrote the articles!

And the bagel and the paperclip
tie into this... how?

Cheesy,
I can't with you right now.

Aaah!

[panting]

Where... where can I hide?

I found him! He's in here!

OK, where is he?

Paperclip guy?
I've been trying to figure it out.

-Eleanor's not helping at all.
-No! We mean Theodore!

He's hiding in the corner
like a little punk!

We see you!

Back off, Derek!

Those aren't mine!

Yeah, right!

How stupid do you think we are?

Who else do they belong to?

Me!

Oh! So this is your bagel!

Oh, boy!

False alarm. It's my bagel.

I wrote the articles
and I don't regret it for a second!

What? Why?

Because you're all
a bunch of bully brats,

and you need to know
how it feels

to be on the other side
for a change!

Yeah, but, I mean,
why'd you try to blame it on Theodore?

I wasn't trying
to blame it on anyone.

I didn't even try to hide it!

I even put my initials
under every photo. TS!

Timothy Sutter!

I've been teaching here
for 42 years

and not one student
knows my name?

Well, I'm sick of it!

And I wanted to teach you all
a lesson!

[teacher] All right, go on,
get out of here.

We make such a good team.

First, we solve
this newspaper thing.

Then we solve the bagel thing.
That's two cases in a day.

Those are pretty good odds.

Oh! You're k*lling me, Cheesy!

I never meant for you
to get blamed for this.

You're one of the sweet ones.

Oh! I think I just got
my first news story!

There you go! Here's one!

-[general clamour]
-[boy] I'll take two!

Theodore, your idea for
the apology issue is a big hit!

Everyone is reading it!

"Dear Millie, I'm sorry
I made fun of your hair last year.

I was jealous because it looked
really cool on you

and I could never
pull that off." Annie.

"Dude. Sorry. From Derek."

Wow! That's really big of him.
Do you think he meant me?

I wrote apologies to everyone.

I mean, I was no better
than the mean kids I was exposing.

I just feel terrible, really bad.

Any apologies from you?

No. I don't have anything
to apologise for.

Oh!
What do you have to apolog...?

For starters,
you could apologise to me

for breaking the lock
on my private lab.

My gosh! How long
are you holding onto that?

It was this morning!

Hey! That could be a story!
"When Siblings Fight!"

Oh, no, no, no.
That's not... that's not news.

They do this all the time.

OK, look! If we're looking
for someone to apologise,

you should be apologizing to me
for keeping me up all night

while you practised
that boring speech of yours

-for the science conference!
-You'd not understand
