Alvin And The Chipmunks Page #2

Synopsis: In a tree farm, three musically inclined chipmunks, Alvin, Simon and Theodore, find their tree cut down and sent to Los Angeles. Once there, they meet the frustrated songwriter David Seville, and despite a poor house wrecking first impression, they impress him with their singing talent. Seeing the opportunity for success, both human and chipmunks make a pact for them to sing his songs. While that ambition proves a frustrating struggle with the difficult trio, the dream does come true after all. However, that success presents its own trials as their unscrupulous record executive, Ian Hawke, plans to break up this family to exploit the boys. Can Dave and the Chipmunks discover what they really value amid the superficial glamor around them?

Have you ever written a song before?

Yep.

Is that you music stuff, outside?

Yep.

Oh no.

- Hurry back.

So fellas...

All we gotta do is..

find the right song... rehearse

Hey, Dave.

- Simon?

My bad.

- This is my sheets music.

This is not a hula-hoop,

It's a towel rack.

Killjoy.

- Are you guys always like this ?

We are kids, Dave.

Where are your parents?

When you are a Chipmunk,

your parents take care you for a week ...

and then they take off.

Our parents were hippies, they left early to join a commune.

Help!

Crazy Robot.

Help! He's after me

He is after me.

- Hey, hey, be careful with that

Sorry.

It is collectable.

I got it for Christmas last year.

Christmas!

We love Christmas.

Even though we

never actually celebrate it.

But we want to.

Yeah, you can never go wrong with Christmas.

Maybe we can

celebrate it with you

Yeah.. maybe

Look, I had a long and weird day.

So, off to bed

Come on.

We'll start work tomorrow.

I want your bright

eyed, bushy tail by 8.

My tail isn't bushy till 9

Not my problem.

Go to sleep

I hope Christmas came fast.

Me too

Hula-hoop.

Here's trouble.

Fire in the hole!!!!

What are you guys doing?

Nothing..

What are you doing?

Stay back, Dave.

It's gonna blow.

I got it guys.

Come to papa.

Hey.

Where did it go?

Simon, It's landed right in front of you.

You didn't see it?

How many fingers am I holding up?

- 4.

No no no. 8?

Counting your thumbs.

Wait

- Hang on a second.

My answer is 6.

Try these.

How is that?

Someone trashed your house.

Well, it was clean when

I went to bed last night.

Well. We came in for a while.

But then we got hungry

What we call it?

Actually I wanna play you something.

I wrote a song for

you guys to sing ...

We put a few toaster

waffles aside for winter.

And we're not sharing.

Guys, we're gonna have food all winter...

if you start storing, it's gonna get gross...

..and we're gonna have rotten...

Bad...

You know, non-talking rotten around here.

Let's go.

Get to work

Alright you Chipmunks,

Ready to sing your song?

I'll say we are.

- Yeah, let's start singing now.

Ready, Simon?

- Ok.

Ready, Theodore?

- Ok.

Alvin?

This hamster wheel's fun

- Alvin!

Ok.

What?

Dave Seville's in the lobby.

He said he won't leave without seeing you.

That loser again?

I got something for you.

It's your next big thing.

Don't say anything.

What?

Dave, don't do this to yourself.

- They sing.

Nope, they dont.

- They do, just give me a second.

Come on, guys.

You know Dave...

You know some people might say kinda

weird that a grown man would want a hula-hoop...

and others would say, you know

what's weirder than that...
