Dialogue

[First lines]

Alvin, Simon, Theodore: [a capella, singing Bad Day by Daniel Powter] ♪Where is the moment we needed the most/You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost/They tell me your blue skies fade to gray/They tell me your passion is gone away/And I do not need no carrying on/Cause you had a bad day/You're taking one down/You sing a sad song just to turn it around/You say you don't know/You tell me do not lie/You work at a smile and you go for a ride/You had a bad day/You have seen what you like/And how does it feel for one more time/You had a bad day/You had a bad day/♪

Alvin: [pushing the last of the acorns into the tree] It is going, it is going. [gets sucked in and falls out with all of the acorns]

Simon: And it's gone.

Alvin: [from inside the tree] Whatever!

Theodore: Maybe we should take a break. [an acorn hits him on the head] Ouch!

Alvin: [pops out] That's it! I cannot take this anymore! I cannot! I give up! I am sick of struggling for survival, competing with gophers and earthworms and that loser sparrow who always takes my nuts! And I am especially sick of this [jumps on the branch three times] stupid, STUPID TREE!

[They hear a buzzing noise]

Simon: Whoa! What's happening?!

Theodore: Guys! I think he made it angry!

[The tree falls down with the screaming chipmunks in it]

But I am your friend, so I am going to tell you that there is no sense in writing songs that no one is ever, *ever* going to sing.

Ian Hawke: Let's talk about your song, Dave.

Dave: Well, as crazy as it sounds, the original inspiration came to me-

Ian: The song sucks, Dave.

Dave: What?

Ian: Your song? It is awful. I hate it. Yeah, I mean, who is going to sing it? Justin? Fergie? Not a chance. I need something new; I need something fresh!

Dave: That is new!

Ian: The next big thing. Dave, we go way back, all right? And we have both come a long way since college. You, not so much. I wanted to like that song, but you heard it. (Not that good.) If I was not your friend, I would say "Dave, you go right back out of this office and you keep writing music. You'll get there someday." But I am your friend, so I am going to tell you that there is no sense in writing songs that no one is ever, ever going to sing.

Dave: [Defeated] Ever?

Dave: [starts to regain consciousness after the Chipmunks knocked him out] I must be hearing things. [wakes and sees the Chipmunks staring at him] Whoa, this is trippy.

Theodore: Sir, are-are you all right?

Dave: Aah! Get back! Squirrels can't talk!

Alvin: Whoa, wap-ap-ap-oh. Watch it, genius. We are Chipmunks. Chip-munks!

Dave: Chipmunks can't talk either! [turns on lights]

Simon: Well, our lips are moving, and words are coming out.

Dave: This isn't happening. [closes his eyes, talking to himself] I am not talking to chipmunks. I am not talking to chipmunks.

Alvin: So, how is that working for you, Dave?

Dave: Uh, h-how do you know my name?

Alvin: I will take that one. We read your mail. By accident.

Simon: You really ought to pay that utility bill, Dave. You ever hear of a credit rating?

Theodore: [turns on the food processor] What's this thing?

Dave: Hey, hey...hey, hey, turn that off!

Alvin: [turns off the food processor] Sorry.

Simon: [rubs Theodore's head] He fell out of the tree at birth.

Dave: C-Can all animals talk?

Simon: Well, fish do have this type of sign language.

Alvin: Hey Dave, do all humans have houses that smell like sweatsocks? [singing while squirting soap out of the soap dispenser] ♪Dave likes to wear, dirty underwear, with little hairs...♪

Simon: We're getting off on the wrong foot. Allow us to introduce ourselves. Hello. I'm Simon. The smart one. He's Alvin.

Alvin: The awesomest one.

Theodore: And I'm Theodore.

Dave: Oh, nice to meet you. Now get out of my house!

Theodore: But...we talk.

Dave: Which only makes me want you out of my house that much more. It's creepy. Unnatural. Somewhat evil.

Alvin: [to Simon] I kinda liked him better when he was unconscious.

Dave: [puts a mixing bowl over them] Gotcha!

Alvin: Hey!

[Dave laughs]

Dave: Alright, here's the deal; you guys sing my songs, you get to sleep here.

Alvin: [thinks about it] No. Wait! Is breakfast included?

Dave: [thinks about it] I can live with that.

Simon: What about TV privileges?

Dave: [thinks about it] Okay, but not after seven.

Theodore: Eight.

Dave: Done. [the Chipmunks high-fived each other] Don't tell you're animal friends, cause I don't wanna come home and find a bunch of rabbits and skunks on my couch.

Simon: Filthy creatures, Dave. Never associate with them.

Theodore: Yeah, you're our only friend.

Dave: No, no, no, no, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Let's just start with me being your songwriter.

Dave: [Enthusiastic] I've got something for you. It's your next big thing. [Presents a Christmas-themed box]

Ian: Dave...

Dave: Don't say anything. [Opens the box, revealing the Chipmunks]

Ian: What the...? Dave, don't do this to yourself, man.

Dave: They sing! [The Chipmunks, seemingly scared, do not sing]

Ian: No, they don't.

Dave: They do, just give me a second! Come on, guys. ♪Want a plane that loops the loop, Me I want a Hula-Hoop♪ [Ian looks at him oddly, Dave nervously laughs]

Ian: You know Dave, some people might say it's kind of weird that a grown man would want a Hula-Hoop. And others would say "You know what's weirder than that? A grown man bringing another grown man a big box with a bunch of chipmunks in it who not only speak English but can sing."

Dave: They do sing, we've been practicing all morning!

Ian: [Sarcastically] Oh, you've been practicing, I never realized. Okay, well. [Waits for them to sing, Dave impatiently gestures] Yeah. Okay no. Dave I'm going to... pretend that I have a lunch to go to. Oops, I have a lunch to go to. [Leaves]

Alvin: We're not performing monkeys, Dave! Why do we have to sing for that guy, anyway?

Dave: Well, how's this? Pretend I need the money, and I hate my job, and you're staying at my place, so you owe me.

Theodore: We're sorry, Dave.

Dave: Yeah, that helps. [sighs] Never mind, I'm late for work.

Theodore: Ooh-ooh-ooh, Can we go with you?

Dave: What? So that you can mess that up, too? Uh-uh. You're going home.

Alvin: Can I stand in your lap and steer?

Theodore: Ooh-ooh-ooh, can we at least beep the horn? Never mind.

Dave: [nervous chuckle, delivers a presentation at his marketing job] Why don't we, er, come over here and look at the sales projections? You know, when I first saw these numbers, I thought, there's just no way. But then I looked again. [flips the front board down to the first board with "Size of Theodore's butt" written overtop, and is shocked]

Amy: "The size of Theodore's butt"?

Dave: Yeah. Well, wh-why don't we come back to that. Anyway, 10 years ago, the market share for healthy food snacks was imperceptible among six-to-12-year-olds. [flips next board with "How smart Simon thinks he is" written overtop]

Ted: "How smart Simon thinks he is".

Gail: [snarky] Yeah, as opposed to how smart he actually is.

Amy: Who's Simon?

Dave: I didn't...

Gail: Just move along.

Dave: [flips the next board with "How much Alvin smells" written overtop; realizing that he's about to be fired] You know what? I-I think I'll just clean out my office.

Gail: Sounds good.

[Dave arrives home, while Simon and Theodore are watching SpongeBob SquarePants on TV.]

Dave: [shows his presentation board] Uh, guys? What's this about?

Simon: Obviously, Theodore's butt.

Theodore: W-We told you we colored.

Dave: On my presentation boards?! You got me fired!

Theodore: Oh. We didn't know. [Dave turns off the TV] We're sorry, Dave.

Dave: Oh, you're sorry? That's fantastic! "Sorry" doesn't get my job back, now, does it, Theodore? [sees his clothes laid on kitchen floor] Why are my clothes all over the place?

Simon: We used them to mop up the water. Good idea, right?

Dave: [notices a tiny pellet] Oh, my God, Theodore, did you just-?

Theodore: Um... Um...

Simon: [picks up Theodore's pellet] It's a raisin, Dave.

Dave: Prove it.

Simon: [puts it in his mouth] Mmm-mmm.

Dave: Okay, you got me. Look, I wanna talk to all you guys. Where's Alvin? [heads off toward the kitchen, Simon quickly spits out his pellet] Alvin?

Simon: [sternly; to Theodore] You owe me big-time!

Dave: Alvin?

[Dave opens one of the cabinet doors to finds him, but hears Alvin singing The Pussycat Doll's "Don't Cha" in the dishwasher.]

Alvin: [singing] ♪ Yeah! Yeah! Come on! Come on! Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me? Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me... ♪ [Dave opens the dishwasher, Alvin screams.]There's this new thing: it's called "knocking".

Dave: Get out!

Alvin: Uh, I'm waiting for the rinse cycle.

Dave: [pulls Alvin out of the dishwasher] Out!

Alvin: Whoa, whoa! I'm taking a shower here!

Dave: You know, if I made a list of my worst days ever... Guess what? Today would be at the top of the list.

Alvin: And it's still early.

Dave: Clam it, sudsy!

[Simon and Theodore enters the kitchen.]

Dave: [sighs] Okay. Guys, let me just put it to you like this, okay? I have no job, no career, my house is always a mess, thank you very much...

Claire: [voice only] Hi, Dave, it's Claire Wilson calling. And why did I just say my last name? That was weird. Uhm, I guess I'm just a little nervous about coming over for dinner.

Dave: [realizing] Dinner!

Claire: [voice only] So, yeah, I'm gonna hang up now. I'll be there at 7. Okay, bye.

Dave: That's half an hour!

Theodore: Who's Claire?

Simon: Claire is Dave's mate, ooh-la-la.

Dave: She is not my mate. She's my... ex-mate. Okay, this is great. [scrambles to clean the house]

Theodore: How do you think it's going?

Alvin : [Watching Dave and Claire on a date] Dave is terrible! They're not even sniffing each other! [leaves the room]

Simon: Alvin! Dave said that-

Alvin: Dave needs a little help from.. the Love doctor.

Theo: And his assistant-

Simon: [pulls Theodore back in] Get back here.

Claire: You know this is nice. Just two friends having dinner hanging out, no pressure, nothing weird. [Alvin plays a romance song]

Dave: Um my my stereo does that all the time, it's like it has a mind of its own. You were saying?

Claire: Oh nothing I was just a little nervous about coming over here I wasn't sure if you thought that this was a date or something.

Dave: A date? No. [Alvin turns down the light] Um, the the wiring in my unit is shot.

Claire: You should get an electrician to fix that

Dave: [loud enough in hopes the Chipmunks hear] I don't need anyone to fix anything for me.

Claire: O-kay! [Alvin turns on the fire]

Dave: Could you excuse me for a moment? I'm-I'm going to go check the fuse box.

Alvin: [taunting Dave] ♪Bow Chicka Wow Wow Chicka Wow Wow♪

Claire: [turns back] What-

Dave: [tries to avoid her looking by hugging her] Claire.

Claire: Dave Dave, what are you doing?

Alvin: Tell she completes you, it works. [Dave attempts to convince him it's ok] You got it Dave!

Claire: Dave. Dave, let go.

Dave: I'm sorry. Claire, it's just... I lost my job Claire, and I guess I just needed a hug.

Claire: Well why didn't you just say so? Tell me what happened.

Dave: Well, this is going to sound really strange.

Claire: No games, no fooling around.

Dave: The truth?

Claire: Please I'm begging you.

Dave: My life is being sabotaged by talking chipmunks..

Claire: [In disbelief] You know what? [leaves]

Dave: I'm not crazy I swear.

Claire: You haven't changed at all.

Dave: Wait Claire don't go, I- I can explain...

Dave: [in his head as he's writing an attempt letter] Dear fellas. I'm sorry, but this isn't really working out. I don't know what made me think I can handle you guys when I can barely manage my own life. You should go back to your real home in the forest. It's what's best for all of us. I'm sorry it has to be this way, but}}- [crumbles the paper and throws it on the floor]

[The Chipmunks rang the doorbell at Ian's mansion]

Ian: [glances outside his mansion] Hello?...Hello? [the Chipmunsk sneak into Ian's mansion; Ian sees no one's here] Kids. [closes the door and heads back to the stairs, but is startled by the Chimpunks' singing]

Alvin, Simon, and Theodore: [a capella as they appear in front of Ian] ♪Christmas, Christmas time is here / Time for toys and time for cheer / We can hardly stand the wait / Please Christmas, don't be late!♪

Ian: [amazed with a smile] Welcome to Jett Records.

Dave: [Sees his cart filled with boxes of waffles] Guys, what's all this?

Chipmunks: Toaster Waffles!

Dave: [puts all the boxes of waffles back in the freezer] You know, I can't afford all these toaster waffles.

Simon and Theodore: Aww!

Alvin: What?

Dave: Well, in case you didn't notice, I don't have a job anymore. [his song plays over the loudspeaker at the store] My song?

Alvin: All right!

Simon and Theodore: Yeah!

Dave: [Gets a call from Ian] Hello?

Ian: Hey, Dave! Hey, how's my favorite song-writer?

Dave: Ian?

Ian: Tell me you've heard the song.

Dave: Yeah, I'm- I'm- I'm listening to it right now, but I mean how did you- when did-?

Ian: Speed of business, baby. That's how we do it. That's how I roll. [Laughs] I got a friend in satellite radio, put it in immediate rotation. And, that video of your little guys? 10 million hits already on YouYube! [Makes noises happily] It's crazy! I gotta go. Hey, put some clothes on those guys, though. It's kind of embarrasing.

Alvin: We owed you, Dave.

Theodore: [taps Dave's hand] Dave? [jumps up onto the bed] Are you awake?

Dave: [waking up] I am now.

Theodore: I had a nightmare. Can... I sleep with you?

Dave: Umm...

Theodore: You won't even know I'm here.

Dave: Okay, sure, but stay on that side of the bed.

Theodore: Oh, oh, oh, okay. [goes to the other side, but then snuggles up with Dave]

Dave: [annoyed] That's not the other side, Theodore. [then gives in with a sigh]

Dave: [opening the Chipmunks' presents on Christmas morning] Oh nicely done, Theodore. [reading Theodore's letter] "To Dav". Let's see, it says, "Merry Christmas, love Theodore. [sees the drawing as having spiky green "hair"] And it's got a picture of, uh, pineapples?

Theodore: Those aren't pineapples. That's our family.

Dave: [seemingly uncomfortable] Uh, look, fellas let's, make sure we understand each other. I'm not your... [sees the Chipmunks looking at Dave admiringly] you know, your dad or anything, right?

Dave: But... you're like a dad.

Dave: Well, not really. I mean, we're friends, for sure. I write your music, you know, manage your career...

Simon: Make us sweaters...

Alvin: Feed us...

Dave: That's... what friends do. [the Chipmunks look at Dave]

Ian: Come on, Dave, Dave, Dave. We've got to expand the Munks' fan base. I mean, forget about the music. The music is but a means to the big money, okay? I'm talking about our own fur clothing line, cologne. Chipmunk Heat, something like that. Chipmunk wine coolers. I mean-

Dave: They're just kids.

Ian: No, they’re rats, and they could be making us both so much money if you just let me work with them.

Dave: [leaves] I can't hear you, the music's too loud.

Ian: [As Dave walks away] Don’t go against me on this, Dave. I never lose.

[Ian walks to the Chipmunks]

Ian: Hey, Alvster. Love the song, bro. Up top.

Alvin: What's up, player?

Ian: So I see you're enjoying my little spread that I've put out for you guys. What am I talking about? You probably eat like this all the time.

Alvin: Well, Dave says that he doesn't wanna spoil us.

Ian: Dude, you're a rock star. You're supposed to be spoiled. I mean, you should be riding in limousines and private planes, and you should be going to parties like this every night.

Alvin: Really? 'Cause Dave says we need our sleep.

Ian: Look, Alvin, this is hard to say but, I mean, I gotta be upfront about it. Dave's holding you back. You know, I could be making you 20 large a day.

Alvin: Is that a lot?

Ian: Yes. Another thing...I'm not gonna tell you. Okay, I will tell you. Look, behind your backs, Dave calls you... the rats.

[Both Theodore and Simon look up in shock from eating, Alvin seems hurt]

Alvin: Rats?

Ian: Yeah, whatever, right? I know. Well, don't let it bother you. I mean, me? I consider you boys family. And if there's anything you need, anything at all, give your Uncle Ian a call, all right?

Alvin: Oh, right.

Ian: Ciao.

Alvin: [while playing Project Gotham Racing 3 with Xbox 360 wireless racing wheel] Come on, move over, road hog! Drive it or park it, pal! Get in the slow lane!

Dave: Where did you get that game?

Alvin: Uh, Uncle Ian. Move it or lose it! Get some training wheels, buddy!

Dave: Okay, you know what? That's enough! [turns off the TV]

Alvin: What are you doing?! I was about to beat my high score!

Dave: Too bad. Where's Theodore? [sees Theodore eating chocolate, walks to him] Spit it out.

Theodore: Mm-mmm.

Dave: Spit it out.

Theodore: No!

Dave: [looks at card included in Theodore's gift basket saying "Enjoy! - Uncle Ian"] "Jett Records." Okay, that's it. Meeting. Now. Everyone on the couch. [to the housekeeper] Could you give us a minute? [the housekeeper leaves] Guys, look, it's hard. I know. 3 months ago, you were hanging out in a tree somewhere and now you're-

Alvin: [blows the balloon, low pitched voice] Major rock stars.

Dave: Okay, whatever. My point is, just because you're-

Alvin: [blows the balloon again, low pitched voice] Major rock stars.

Dave: [throws the balloon away] Doesn't mean you can have or do whatever you want!

Simon: Well, Uncle Ian says we should always be happy.

Dave: Okay, you know what? He's not your uncle!

Alvin: He also, David, said that we should be making $20 a day.

Dave: Well, guess what? You're making way more than that. And because I care, I'm putting it all away for you. Just like storing nuts for the winter.

Alvin: Oh, winter's for losers.

Simon: Yeah, and shouldn't we have a say in how to build our investment portfolio?

Dave: Where is all this coming from? You guys are just kids.

Alvin: Kids, Dave, or rats?

Dave: [shocked] What?!

Theodore: Well, Uncle Ian says we're like his family.

Dave: [angrily] Oh, yeah?! Well, if you love Uncle Ian so much and you don't think I'm watching out for you, WHY DON'T YOU GO LIVE WITH UNCLE IAN?!

[The chipmunks are shocked and hurt by Dave's words, as the door slam shut is heard]

Simon: [reading the attempt letter written months ago by Dave] “Dear fellas. I'm sorry, but... [mutters] You should go back to your real home in the forest.”

Alvin: I guess he really does want us to go.

[The Chipmunks' belongings are loaded into Ian's car, Dave watches defeatedly]

Ian: [Rolls window down] I told you, Dave. I never lose. [Rolls window up and drives away]

Ian: We're the Chipmunks, for crying out loud!

Alvin: This is absurd. I feel like P. Diddy with fur.

Simon: And to be honest, the new songs don't really... sound like... us.

Ian: Well, you know what I think? I think the new direction is perfect, you know? It's all about today's edge.

Theodore: Dave always said it was all about the music.

Ian: [mocking] Dave always said it was all- You know what? DAVE-DAVE-DAVE-DAVE-Dave is not here! Okay? It's me! It's fun Uncle Ian! All right? Okay? [The Chipmunks are visibly disappointed]

Ian: [On the phone with Dave] Yel-low? Who? Dave Seville... name rings a bell.... a dead, broken bell.

Dave: Just let me talk to the guys.

Ian: Oh I don't think that's such a good idea, Dave. The boys are still stinging a little bit from you kicking them out the door.

Dave: That's not what happened.

Ian: ♪De-ni-al.♪

Dave: So, what's this I hear about a European tour? You're taking them away for six months?

Ian: Uhh, no, 12 actually, if we can get China to go Chipmunk.

Dave: Twelve? Look, I just wanted to say hi, see how they're doing.

Ian: They're doing great. [laughs] They're loving life. Living large... face it, Dave. They've moved on. They're happy now.

Dave: Look, Ian, I want to talk to them. Put them on the phone.

Ian: Yeah, I don't think that gonna happen, Dave, because we've got a world tour, gonna start tomorrow, and these guys don't need the extra pressure, okay? We'll send you a postcard.

Dave: Ian, you can't do this. They're not ready for something like that, they're just kids. I'm gonna see them...

[Ian pretends the signal does not work and the call ends]

Alvin: Ian... was that... Dave?

Ian: [Intentionally leaves out what Dave said] Uhh... yes, yes it was and um, he just wanted me to let you know that he's doing great and he's happy. He's really really happy. So, all right...[leaves]

Theodore: And, is he coming to the show?

Ian: ... You know what? I sent him tickets. And here's the thing, he sent them back! [The Chipmunks become further disappointed] Yeah, I know. I uh... guess he's busy, you know. Got better things to do.

Theodore: [climbs on Ian's bed] Uncle Ian?

Ian: [wakes up with a start] W... What are you doing here?

Theodore: Can I sleep with you? I had a nightmare.

Ian: [sarcastically] Ohhhh... you had a nightmare? I had a nightmare too. I-in my nightmare, um, I had to put together 37 dates in 42 days, in 16 different countries. And, and, I had to coordinate 121 different radio and print interviews in five different languages. [picks up Theodore] But you know what, Theo? The only difference is, in my nightmare, [talks at his face] when I open my eyes, it doesn't end!

Theodore: So... is that a no? [Ian throws him out the door in the next shot] Whoa! [lands on the floor] Oh... ooh... [gets up and walks back to his room]

Theodore: Guys, I wanna go home.

Simon: What do you mean? You are home.

Theodore: No. I mean home home, you know, with Dave.

Alvin: But Theodore, wake up and smell the toffee. Dave... doesn't even... want us. He doesn't even care to come to our show.

[Dave makes it to the show while running from security led by Ian; the Chipmunks have sabotaged the show]

Dave: Guys.

Chipmunks: Dave!

[Security detains Dave and Ian stops the Chipmunks]

Dave: What are you doing?

Alvin: Put us down

Simon: Let me go..

Theodore: Hey!

Ian: You better study your French, because we’re going to Paris tonight, okay?

Alvin: I just had my tail re-done!

Dave: No, wait!

Ian: [To security] Take that, put it with my stuff.

Alvin: Let us out of here! Let us out of here!

Dave: No… what? Ian, they don't want this anymore. Just let them go!

Ian: [Pretends to be oblivious] But… the guy just left. You should have said something about five seconds ago. [Laughs] Come back.

David Seville: Ian, they need a real life, not all of this! Besides, they just ruined the concert. Word will get out. No one will come to see them.

Ian: Dave, they're chipmunks that talk. People will come.

Ian: [To driver] Go, go go. Go.

Dave: [In pursuit of Ian] Come on…

[Unbeknowest to Dave, the Chipmunks appear in his car]

Alvin: Step on it, Dave! You're losing him!

[Dave realizes and hits the breaks]

Dave: [Smiling, surprised] H-h- how did you guys…?

Simon: We are talking chipmunks, Dave. We can get out of a cat carrier. Not even… hard to do.

Theodore: You came back for us!

Dave: Well… of course I came back. We’re a family.

[Chipmunks gasp]

Alvin: Ho-ly nuts!

Dave: [Confused] What?

Alvin: Uh, am I going crazy? Or did he just say, "family"?

Dave: [Giving in] I know, but… [Lost for words]... I really missed you guys.

Theodore: I missed you too, Dave. [He hugs Dave]

Simon: Me too. So did Alvin, he's just… too cool to admit it.

Theodore: Yeah, too macho. [Everyone looks at Alvin]

Alvin: [Close to tears, pretending to cough] Missed you- too. [Fake coughs] Sorry, I had some sentimentality stuck in my throat. [Clears throat] I just said, uh, I missed you too. [Tries to seem dismissive, clears up throat] Whatever. Who are you guys to judge me? Okay, you know what? I miss my friend Dave, okay? [Everyone becomes shocked] I'll scream it from the rooftops. And I'm not afraid, I'm not ashamed! That's right! [Smiles] I love you, Dave!

Dave: [Seemingly reluctant, smiles] Come here.

Alvin: Uhm, Dave?

Dave: Yes, Alvin?

Alvin: [Enthusiastic] Now can I steer? [Dave is seemingly annoyed] Oh please please please!

Simon: I always wanted to work the windshield wipers.

Theodore: Oh, and I'd like to beep the horn!

Dave: Have at it, fellas!

Theodore: I'm a good beeper.

Simon: Save some horn for the rest of us, man.

Alvin: Come on, Dave, drive faster!

Dave: [chuckle] Not with you steering!

Alvin: Dave, you drive like a sleepy old bear!

Dave: Okay Alvin, that's enough.

Alvin: Enough of what? Of being awesome?

Dave: Alvin, I said that's enough.

Alvin: Hey look Dave, no paws! Whoooooooo, hooooooo!

Ian: [In his car, believing he still has the Chipmunks] Hey, if you guys behave, maybe I'll let you call me "Uncle Ian" again. Deal?

[A Chipmunk dolls speaks a foreign language, a Simon doll speaks French; Ian picks up an Alvin doll]

Alvin doll: Hola, me llamo Alvin, y yo quiero una Hula-Hoop. (Translation: Hi, I'm Alvin, and I want a hula-hoop.)

Ian: [looks to the carrier, realizes the Chipmunks are gone] ¡Madre de Dios! (Translation: Mother of God.) NO...!

Alvin: [trying to uncork a bottle] Stupid... cork... doesn't... [the cork comes loose and goes flying] Whoa!

[The cork breaks a glass cabinet, causing it to pour champagne out of broken bottles] Yikes! [chuckles nervously] Oops.

[Claire looks at Dave]

Dave: [smiles casually] I'm not gonna say it.

Alvin: [shocked] Uh-oh!

Simon: [disappointed] Good grief.

[The champagne drops on the ground]

Claire: Are you still not gonna say it?

Dave: Nope. [the champagne touches an outlet which spews sparks and smoke, startling him and Claire and causing a power outage in the house] I'm gonna say it.ALVINNN!!!

Alvin: Okay!

[Last lines]

Ian: [trying to get squirrels to sing] Okay, guys. Come on. Let's try it again. Here we go... and sing. Come on. Sing for your Uncle Ian. Come on, sing. Why won't you sing? I said sing. Sing! [stops playing the piano and leaned his head against the keys, sobbing]
