[ELEANOR]
Okay. Sponge?

Trash Can?
[JEANETTE] Got it!

Ooh! I just love
a good spring cleaning.

Are you ready?

Yeah. Ready to call
a cleaning service.

Here, start with this box.

Oh, look, that's when
we lived with The Chipmunks.

Oh. Before this was our tree.

Oh. And to think
we almost lost her.

Hey, hey, that's mine.

So much for my secret
hiding place.

Okay, now, take your vitamins.

Now, where were we? Ah, here.

Even though the tree had no
blossoms, it was very loved.

[blows whistle]
Huh? Whoa!

Uh, oh. It's--
It's Mr. Crabby Face.

[grunts]

What?

If he sees her,
he's gonna freak.

Hey, Mister Crab Apple.

I keep telling you, it's Crable.
Crable!

Right, right. Cragle, got it.

Um, could you come over here?

I've got a letter
that came for you.

This letter isn't for me.
Can't you read?

What? Let me see that.

All right, mister.

This is addressed
to David Seville.

What are you doing with it?

[groans]

Guys,
I think Mr. Crab Apple

is deliberately
hurting the tree.

I saw him pour something on it.

That would explain
why the flowers look so sick.

Oh, man. This has conspiracy
written all over it.

Come on. We need to do
a little undercover work.

[♪♪♪]

Mr. Crab Apple is leaving.

I repeat,
Crab Apple is on the move.

Can you hear me?

I repeat. Can you hear me?

We can hear you, Alvin.

We don't need the walkie-talkies
when we're in the same room.

k*ll Joy, Simon. Come over.

Do you read me?

k*ll Joy, do you read me?

Yes. Yes. Sir.

Over. Roger. Whatever.

We read you.
All right, good.

k*ll Joy,
look through your binoculars

and you'll see Mr. Crab Apple.

I don't need the binoculars.
He's right there.

Simon,
what fun is investigating

if you don't use
any of the gadgets?

Please, make this fun for once.

Do you read me? k*ll Joy.

Do you read me?

Oh. Oh, yes. Thank goodness
I have the binoculars.

I can see him now.
He's getting in his car.

Sorry.
I can't hear you.

Repeat. Please repeat.

I said,
he's getting in his car. Roger.

All right.
PBB, he's getting in his car.

Do you read me?

I am not doing this
unless you call me

by my proper undercover name.

Oh, all right.

Pink Beautiful Blossom.
Do you read me?

Yes, now I read you.

We'll meet in designated area
in one minute.

Over and out.

Simon, hurry.
We've got to suit up.

Suit up?
What are you talking about?

What am I talking about?
Only that we need Hazmat suits

if we're gonna be interacting
with tree flu

and coodie cold
whatchamacallits.

They're pathogens, Alvin, okay.

And I don't have
any Hazmat suits.

All right.
Well, let's see what you got.

This is not your best work.
I'll tell ya that.

Shh.

[DAVE]
You guys going far?

No.
No.

Just-- Just outside, Dave.

Okay...

What are you wearing?

Special agent stuff.
Don't worry about it.

Now, come on, guys.
Let's do this.

[♪♪♪]

Pretty Daisy, get me forensics
on all these tools.

Pink Beautiful Blossom.

It's not hard.

This is the bottle
I saw him using.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Hey!
[all scream]

I caught them snooping
in my yard.

Wouldn't have caught us,
if someone had appointed

a lookout man. Hello?

Well, I can't think
of everything.

That's pretty basic.
Not the point.

You were all wrong
to be snooping around

in Mr. Crabbies yar--
Uh, Crable's yard.

I promise, Mr. Crabbie, uh,
Crable, it won't happen again.

I-I-I'm sorry, but why do you
want to hurt the tree?

What are you implying,
young lady?

Well, I think it's pretty clear
you don't like the tree.

You're making it sick.

So what? That tree has given me
nothing but headaches

and these kids
are the last straw.

I'm chopping it down.

He's always wanted
to chop down that tree.

Well, he'd need permission
to do that.

Yeah, but if he makes it sick
he'll get permission.

[♪♪♪]

Where did we leave off?

Oh, I know, so then one day
a little girl climbed a tree...

[MAN] Oh, yes, I can see
it does look like it's infected.

Well,
what are you gonna do about it?

You're the department expert.
It could infect the other trees.

I want it chopped down.

Hey, you don't need to yell.
Okay, I'm right here.

I'll test it immediately.

[BRITTANY]
Come on, Jeanette!

Dave's taking us to breakfast.

[♪♪♪]

You want me to stay?

Okay.

Brit, I'm not coming.
The tree wants me to stay.

What?

Oh, you know, nothing,
nothing unusual,

you know, just, you know,
the tree asked her to stay.

Go without me.

Oh, Jeanette.
Please come down.

No. I--
Guys, I'm not gonna leave.

In fact, I'll--
I'll live here if I have to.

[MAN] Um, young girl--
Chipmunk, I mean.

You have to come down
from that tree,

you're not allowed
to be up there.

Oh. No. Um, sorry.

I'm living here now.

That's ridiculous.

She has no water,
no electricity, no nothing.

[JEANETTE]
Sir.

Please retest the tree and--

And if it's still sick,
I'll leave.

Waste of time, but fine.

Oh, boy. She's gonna need
a few basic necessities,

if she's gonna have any chance
of calling this home.

All right.
Get me some hammers and nails.

We have no time to waste.

Oh, it's beautiful.

A real masterpiece.

Just one of my many talents.

Huh. Um, yeah, um,

let's just call it
a work in progress.

[siren wails]

Is there a chipmunk
in this tree?

Officer,
what's going on?

Uh, here's what's going on, bub.
She's trespassing.

I got a warrant that says so.
Boom. That's the law.

Miss, you are going to
have to come down now.

I will only repeat this
a few more times.

Excuse me, officer. But, um,
as I'm sure you're aware,

according to the town by-laws
any tree providing a habitat

shall remain untouched.

Really? I didn't know--
I didn't read that... part.

You see.

Oh, it does say so.

It doesn't matter.
It's infected.

We're chopping it down
tomorrow.

But you agreed to another test.

And officer, we should have
the results by now.

Stall him.
What? Me?

Alvin,
look at his walkie-talkie.

Cool walkie-talkie.

Could I see it?
No.

Please?
No.

Why not?

Because it's not a toy.

Look at mine.
Mine's not a toy either.

Yeah, that is a toy.

All right, all right. But...
Would you like to try mine?

No.
Why not?

Please hurry.
I'm almost there.

My bicycle broke down a bit ago
but I fixed the chain

and I'm peddling
as fast as I can.

[horn honking]
Hey, watch it buddy!

I've gotta go.

Okay, I let you hold it.

Now you gotta give it back.

Can I say something?
No.

Please.
I said no!

I'm not gonna keep saying it.

Does he ever stop?

Nope.

Got it. Got it here.

[coughs]

Look,
this tree was tested yesterday

and as you can see,
it's quite healthy.

What?
Yeah,

your chemicals were replaced
with apple juice.

You promised they would stop
messing with my stuff.

It wasn't us.
It was me.

Well,
my work here is done.

What?
What? Don't you what me.

You are facing quite a fine.
Did you know

poisoning a landmark tree
is against the law.

[ALVIN] One-Alvin-Twelve.
Last chance, mister!

Walkie-talkie now.
Hand it over.

Could I just say "what's up"
to the other officers?

[ALL]
Alvin!

Hey, whatever happened
to Mister Crable?

Well, he hated trees so much,
he moved to the desert.

[WOMAN]
Hello?

I'm from the home
beautification awards

and I'd love to take a picture
of your treehouse

for our latest issue.

Would that be all right?

[ALL]
Absolutely.

[DAVE]
Simon's gonna be ecstatic.

Going to the Science Institute's
like a dream come true.

Of course, no more concerts.

His brothers'll understand.

What?

Thank you, Ohio!

Aloha.

Vive la France.

Simon. News. Bad.

Family. None!

Okay. Slow down, Yodster.

Take a deep breath
and start over.

[speaking rapidly
and indistinctly]

Well.

Simon is not going to
a Science Institute, Theodore.

How do you know?

Well,
the great Alvini knows all.

Theodore is right, Alvin.

Simon is leaving.

I didn't know that.

I thought the great Alvini
knows all.

Simon just didn't know
how to tell you.

It's really no big deal,
guys.

We can call each other, e-mail,
video chat.

It'll be like I'm right here.

Except you're not.

Simon can't leave.

W-What will I do?

[MISS SMITH]
Aw, goodness.

With Simon gone, your grades
have plummeted, Theodore.

I'm afraid we'll have to
kick you out of school

and you'll become
a homeless delinquent

and spend the rest
of your life in jail.

Oh.

Life without Simon.

Oh, I wish I could
take this baby for a spin

before Dave wakes up.

What do you think, Simon? Simon?

Simon's gone.

Oh, oh, that's right.

There's no one to talk
any sense into me.

See ya later.

You know, Theodore,
maybe Simon leaving

isn't such a bad thing.

I mean, you know, change can--
Can be good.

So what's the emergency?

Simon's going away
for a long time,

and Alvin doesn't think
it's so bad.

How could you say that?

Oh, Theodore.

I can't even imagine
a life without Simon.

♪ I am the queen
Yes, queen of the world ♪

♪ And I like it, like it
Like it like that ♪

♪ I am the queen, yes
Yes, your queen, yes ♪

♪ Oh, oh, oh ♪

[crowd cheering]

You know, Theodore,
maybe it's...

It's not such a disaster.

Why are you changing your mind?

Oh, why? Um...

Because... Um...

Oh, oh. Uh, well,

because if Simon wants to go
to boarding school,

we should be supportive.

Hold on, sister.

[ANNOUNCER] Let's welcome
the Chipettes and those two other boys

whose name I forget.

The only reason
you're saying that

is because there'll be
more girls than boys.

Oh. So not true, Alvin.

Really?
Except the, um,

the more girls part.

Oh, I am on to you.

You want the spotlight
all to yourself.

Yeah. Don't you?
Not the point.

The point is we need
to stop Simon from leaving.

The Chipmunks wouldn't be
the same without Simon.

But then again, you know,
change is good.

Ugh. Okay. What do we do?

Okay, troops,
that's it in a nutshell.

Any questions on Operation
Saving Simon?

Bear Claw, what's your question?

Well,
can't we just say to Simon,

"Please don't leave.
We'll miss you too much?"

No. Now, here's the beauty
of the plan.

Simon can't go anywhere
if we take his clothes,

eliminate all means
of transportation

and any communication.

Now, Whispering Flower,
are you good to go?

Yes, pigeon one-- I mean, hawk,
para-- Parakeet. Um--

Eagle one, Jeanette.

How many times do we have to
go over this?

Simon, can you help me
with this crossword?

Sure, what have you got?

Okay,
let's see.

[♪♪♪]

Highest peak? Seven letters.

Oh, please. Everest.

You're the best.

Well...

[ALVIN]
This one I particularly love,

because Simon can't leave
if Dave can't drive him.

You'll be able to fix that,
right?

Good-- Good point.
Didn't think of that.

Oh, really? I thought the great
Alvini knows all.

Oh. Why is everyone throwing
that back in my face?

Phase one of Saving Simon
is now complete.

Great work, Falcon Eye
and Princess Pea.

My code name is Princess "B"

as in Beautiful Brittany.

Roger that, Princess Pea.

Now,
despite all our precautions,

we intercepted this transmission
just moments ago.

Oh. What is it?
It's a letter.

Apparently, in olden times,

people used them before
e-mailing and texting.

We know that.
What does it say?

Oh. Well. A school counselor
is coming today for

a final interview with Simon.
[gasps]

Now I don't have to
impress on you

that if Simon passes
this interview,

we've lost him forever.

What do we do?

We step up to the plate
with a bat I call courage

and we don't back down no matter
what they throw at us.

We stare fear in the eyes
until it blinks.

We forge ahead
despite the danger.

We climb the mountain
and we climb it again.

We hold tight
and we never let go.

Now, who's with me?

Hello? Troops?

It is lonely at the top.

Boy, Dave,
if I don't pass this interview,

I don't go to the academy.

Oh, Simon,
you're gonna do great.

Besides, what can go wrong?

[phone rings]
Hello?

Hello.
This is the principal.

I'm sorry.
This is the principal.

I was hoping you could
come to the school

to discuss Alvin's grades.

But it's Saturday.

Education never sleeps,
Mr. Seville.

Are you a good parent
or not?

Okay,
I'll be right over.

Sorry, Simon.
An emergency just came up.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Old Man Smithers
has flown the coop.

Are we good to go, team?

How can Dave drive away
if we sabotaged his car?

[Dave yells]

Oh. The great Alvini
is never worried.

[grunting]

[♪♪♪]

Simon! Can you help me?

[SIMON]
What is it, Theodore?

I-I need your help with, um...
some...

um, stuff.

[SIMON]
Sure. I'll be right up.

So what can I help you with--?
Jeanette?

What are you doing here?

Saving you.
Oh, I need those.

Oh, no.
What is that in your closet?

What? What's going on?

Jeanette.

[doorbell rings]
Oh, hello, young lady.

I'm here to see Simon Seville.

Hi. We've been expecting you.

Please come in.

Oh, Simon,
the counselor is here.

Well, hello, Simon.

It's so nice
to finally meet you.

Yo, yo, yo, my bro.

Yeah, yo, park it, homie.

[SIMON]
What's going on, Jeanette?

I am not allowed to talk to you.
Strict orders from Alvin--

Uh-uh, I mean, pelican two,
I mean one.

No. Magpie. No, no, crow.

All right. Look, um, how's this?

You don't have to say a word,

but if I guess,
then would you let me go?

Oh, man.

Uh...o-okay.

So are you ready?

Born ready, sass-a-frass.

[belches]

Oh, good heavens.

Uh, well, okay.

What scientist
do you admire most?

I know that. I know it.

Okay. Got it. Lady Gaga.

Well, she's a singer.

Ah. And you call yourself
a science counselor?

Dude,
what's up with the tie?

A little cliché for a scientist,
don't ya think?

Let's loosen it up.

Now that says "hipster."

Just one final touch.

Bam.
That's what I'm talking about.

Ah. This is not me.

Yeah. That's the point.

[SIMON] Who was that, Jeanette?
I can't say.

Please don't tell me it was
the science counselor?

Oh, oh, you got it. Bravo.

Bravo, Simon.
Let me out!

I don't know how I could have
been so wrong about you, Simon.

You will never be invited
back to our academy.

Ever. Never!

Oh, no. That's awful.

Okay, well, bye-bye.

We did it!
We saved Simon.

Hello. Hello.

There you are.

Where's the camp counselor?

Did you say camp counselor?

Yes, I did. I wanted to go
to science camp this summer.

Just for the summer?

The great Alvini
doesn't know squat.

Alvin.

[giggles]

Okay, now.
No peeking, no peeking.

And peek.

[♪♪♪]

[electricity crackling]

Welcome to the Seville
Science Camp.

Wow.

After we ruined your summer
it was the least we could do.

Okay.
Who knows what happened here?

No, no, can't say as I do, Dave.

The great Alvini knows nothing.

Drawing a complete blank.

Alvin!
