[Brittany] Can you imagine this

with, like, a little sparkly belt?

[gasps] How cute is this?

Oh, oh, and look!

[Brittany] Oh, pretty!

It's just a little too long.

3,021, 3,022...

Theodore, that's a freckle, not a hair.

What?

Aw, sh**t. Now I'm confused.

I guess I'll start all over again.

One, two, three...

Oh, I have never been so bored
in my entire life!

Yeah, Brittany. I thought you said
we were going to a museum.

This is a museum.
The clothes and shoes museum.

They told me
we were going to the candy store.

Yeah, well, technically,
this is candy, Theodore.

Eye candy!

Yeah, OK, but I'm pretty sure
you guys lied to us.

Oh, how cute would this be
with a little bow on the back?

Or maybe adding some scalloped lace
to the bottom?

[italian accent] Well, you have
a lot to say about my clothes.

[Brittany]
Oh, hi. Yeah, uh... Sorry, I...

Don't apologise, darlink,
fashion sense is a gift.

You know, I could use
a creative assistant like you.

Perhaps you'd like to try creating
some of your own designs for my store.

Oh, my gosh! Seriously?

I'll have a car pick you up tomorrow

and we'll get right to work.

[Alvin] Oh, well, Britt,

while you're doodling, I'm winning!

[Jeanette] Oh! Oh!
This is so exciting, Britt!

Imagine your designs

on the cover of a magazine
some day!

[gasps] I just had a great idea!

What if you end up dressing
movie stars for the red carpet?

Eleanor, look no further!
What about dressing me?

I'd be a perfect model!

Maybe I'm a little short. OK.

But, I've got the charisma,
the animal magnetism. Plus...

I've got some pretty cool ideas
for a guy's line of clothes!

Ugh! Alvin, why do you suddenly
want to be a model?

Because models
are the centre of attention!

They're in the spotlight!
And I love the spotlight!

Yeah, you look just like a supermodel.

Please be quiet.
I'm trying to work!

-[honking]
-It's here!

Wow! Look at that fancy car!

Tinted windows!

Oh! I wonder if they have a touch-screen
entertainment centre in there.

Aah!

So, I say to Marina,
"Girl, you don't have to send a car!"

And she's, like, "Darlink,

nothing but the best
for my star protégée."

Yeah, that conversation
never happened.

Oh, it's such a beautiful day
for a drive, isn't it?

So, um, have you driven
many fashion personalities?

[grunts]

I imagine we designers can be
demanding passengers, huh?

[grunts]

Oh! Ha, ha! We're already here!

Wait. What are we doing here?

Pick up coffee.

Oh, that is so thoughtful!
But I don't drink coffee.

It's for her.

Extra shot macchiato,
exactly half an inch of foam.

She'll measure,
so make sure it's half an inch.

Ah, good, my coffee.

Good morning, Marina!
Oh, I'm so excited!

So, I brought you
some of my designs and...

Oh, I really hope you like them.

You foolish girl,
this coffee is not sweet enough!

I wanted six sweeteners!

Oh! I... I'm sorry. I had no idea.

Your driver didn't tell me!

And, by the way, he's not
the friendliest guy I've ever met.

Quiet. An apprentice
should be seen and not heard.

Now I'm going to lunch
with Daniela Wintooth,

the editor-in-chief
of Runway Dazzle magazine.

I'll be back in three hours.

That should give you enough time
to clean the floor,

and then you can clean
the rest of the store.

Oh, oh... OK.

Uh, and then maybe when you get back
we can look at my designs?

-[groans]
-[shop bell rings]

Marina, is that you?

h*, h*! Don't mind me.
I'm just walking around town.

You know, running a few errands.

Struttin' my stuff in, like,
a totally modelling kind of way.

Ugh! Where's Marina?

She's not here.

Oh, man!

And even if she were,
you can't model for us, Alvin.

OK. I don't want to hear
from the hired help, OK?

You're just the cleaner.

You can't tell me
if I can model or not.

Actually, Alvin,
I'm a fashion collaborator.

Uh-huh. Yeah.

'Cause it looked like
you were cleaning the floor.

No! Is that what you thought?

I was distressing this piece of cloth
for a jacket I'm designing.

Right...

-And these are my real legs.
-Get out of here.

You're... you're distracting
my creative process.

Again!

[Chipmunk song playing]

Oh, not a moment too soon.
I'm so tired.

I was at a fashion party all night.

No. You're not getting this coffee
until you listen to me!

I didn't come here
to be your errand girl.

You have exactly one minute.

OK. So, I've been working
on a new concept,

and, well, it's not
your typical fashion trend.

See, you have one look

that works for all body shapes and sizes.

Tall, short, round, and skinny.

What?

First rule, never stray from a trend.

If seven billion people
are wearing it, they are right.

Now, you go home for a few days
and don't come back

until you think about your place
in this company.

I'll tell you one thing,
it's not as a designer.

Oh, yeah?

Well... well... I...

I... I think...

your accent is fake!

-[baby crying on TV]
-Alvin! Come here!

It's your favourite commercial!

The one with the weird-looking baby!

Not now, Theodore.
I'm very busy making fashion magic.

See? This is a pair of pants
made entirely of pockets.

So, you've got chocolate? Bam!
Chocolate pocket.

You want gum? Gum pockets!

Caramel! Toffee! Bam! Bam!
Each in their own pocket!

h*, h*! How cool is that?

Oh! I want a pair!

Oh, but that's not even the best.

Take a look at this baby!

It's a hoodie with a soundproof hood,

so you can snore in class
and no one will hear you!

And look, look, look at this!

This is a new colour I've just invented.

It looks green.

No, Theodore. It's not green.

It's "grance".

Say it with me, "grance,"
not green, "grance".

Uh, g... grance.

-Roll the tongue.
-Ggghhrance.

-No. Roll the tongue.
-Ggghhrance.

-Roll it!
-Gghhr-gghhr-ghhrr.

All right. Stop.
I can't listen to it any more.

You know, let's just call it green.

Hey, you're home early!

Does... does Rodentia love your ideas?

Yeah. Yeah, she does.

She said maybe we'll even get a spread

in Runway magazine next spring.

[gasps] That's amazing!

[sobs]

Or not. Uh...
Are we not happy about this?

No! No, we're really... really happy.

It's just a... well, you know,
a lot of pressure.

I... I don't really want to talk about it.

[sobs]

Morning, Britt.

Are you going to work in your pyjamas?

Oh, I love that style, personally,

because I feel like it says,
"I'm cute, but I'm not trying too hard."

Yeah. No, no.

See?
I'm just working from, uh... home today,

because, you know, Marina is
so excited by what I'm creating,

she didn't want me
to have any, uh, you know,

distractions at the shop.

Wow! That's amazing!

[gasps] Oh, no!
I think I left my designs at the shop!

I'll be right back!

Interesting.

You see,
this is a whole new concept.

I didn't want to follow
typical fashion trends.

So boring!

Now, with just one look, you can
dress all body types and sizes!

Well, it's about time
someone bucked the trends.

Count us in!

Ahem!

You are a thief!
Those are... those are my designs!

Uh, maybe they are similar, yes.

Uh, no! They're mine!

They even have my logo
at the bottom.

OK, OK, OK. What can I say?
You caught me red-handed.

But what else can I do?

This is my store, my business,
my name on the big sign outside.

I can't let some little schoolgirl
show me up!

OK, well... uh... I quit

and I'm never working for you again!

Excuse me.

Brittany, wait!

I would chase after you
if I could run in these heels!

Oh, I'm so excited you're starting
your own fashion line!

What should the name be?

I was thinking "Sweet Enough".

h*, h*! Speaking of sweet,
check this out.

Alvin, if you keep walking that way,

you're gonna need a hip replacement.

There's no need to be jealous
just because I got a job.

Uh-huh.
A job doing what exactly?

Driving people crazy?

Uh, no.

Marina Rodentia asked me
to be her new collaborator,

designing men's clothes...
and modelling.

So, it looks like you were wrong
about my modelling career, Britt.

[honking]

That must be my private car.

-Enjoy! Enjoy!
-OK.

Don't forget,
she wants half an inch of foam.

Wait. Wait. Hold on... What?

Never mind, you'll figure it out.

Thank you, Miss Hanson, for that, uh...

that, um...

enlightening report on,
uh... uh... tapeworms.

And now here is Mr Seville
to talk about the music industry!

Don't say anything lame!

Uh... S... S'up, kids?

Oh...

So, you're probably wondering what I do.

Well, I write songs and I have
to say it's pretty hard work.

Probably easier to rob a bank.

No, no. That's inappropriate.

Oh. I just meant it's hard work,

but really satisfying and...

and, well,
you don't get thrown in jail for...

-David!
-Anyway...

A lot of people ask me
if I start with the lyrics first

or the melody and...

[snoring]

Oh, this is humiliating.

Would you just do something?

[Simon] Why me?

[Miss Smith] Huh?

Freeze! Down on the ground!

Aaah!

You're under arrest!

Ha, ha! Just kidding, everyone.

But if this were a real arrest,

it would've gone down
just the way you saw it.

I'm Cheesy's Dad,
and I work for the F... B... I.

-[students] Wow!
-[embarrassed laugh]

Who wants an autograph?

[students] I do!

OK, well, just... just getting back
to my... my presentation,

you know, songwriting and...

You lost them, David!

Well, does anyone have any questions?

[Theodore] Oh, Dave? I have a question.

h*, h*! Fire away, Theodore.

Do... do you have a pen?

I... I really want his autograph!

Oh. Sure. Here.

[Simon] I'm pretty sure

that was a military-grade
smoke generator he set off.

h*, h*, h*!

And I kept the pull-ring!

And what about those moves?

He had Dave on the ground
and helpless as a little kitten

in, you know, like four seconds!

h*, h*, Dave,
was that awesome or what?

Awesome.

They probably have
the coolest tech lab in the world!

Yeah, remember what Cheesy's dad
said in class though, right?

"Stay alert, be observant,
and trust no one."

Oh, I can't wait to go over
Cheesy's house tonight,

and hear some more cool stories!

Guys, I thought we were
gonna have game night tonight.

I spent a fortune one these...

video games.

Oh, great.

[TV] No! Behind you! Look out!

It's... it's...

...and the string of night-time
bank robberies in the region.

So far the FBI has made no headway

in discovering the identity
of the thieves.

Not so hot after all, huh,
Mr Cheesy's Dad?

Citizens with any information
about this plateless blue car

can contact the FBI hotline.

...then our Private Eye kit
is just for you.

Solve mysteries and catch the baddies!

Ultra-high-tech surveillance material,

batteries not included,

can be found
at these local department stores.

[Simon] Where's Dave?

He's outside and...

and he's acting very weird.

What's he doing?
And why is he dressed all in black?

[Theodore]
And... and wearing night goggles?

Ow!

Guys, guys,
remember how Cheesy's dad said

you gotta be on the lookout
for strange behaviour?

"Stay alert, be observant, trust no one."

Alvin, we are not going to spy on Dave.

He probably has a very good reason
for sneaking around.

So you admit he's sneaking around!

-I did not say that!
-h*, h*! Yes you did!

-Didn't he, Theodore?
-Yeah, yeah, you did, Simon.

You said "sneaking around".

Simon, Dave is acting weird.
Come on, we gotta be vigilant!

I mean, if we don't stay
on top of this, who will?

We have to get involved!
Come on!

Oh...

[Chipmunk song playing]

There's no way
to sugar-coat this, guys.

Dave has gone dark.

Very dark.

Alvin, I'm sure
there's a perfectly clear explanation.

I... I just can't think of one yet.

Well, we'd better face the facts, guys.

I mean, come on, it all adds up!

Dave, our Dave, is the robber
we heard about on the news!

That's absurd!

Oh, oh, really? Uh-huh?

He told the whole class

that robbing a bank
was easier than song writing!

"Trust no one!"
Remember? That's what Dirk said.

And Dave said he spent a fortune
on our video games, OK?

A fortune!
Where'd he get a fortune?

From robbing banks!

Uh, Alvin. Three video games
do not warrant a bank robbery.

OK, granted.
But did you ever think of this?

He's probably planning
to give us more stuff! OK?

Which requires robbing more banks!

Oh... Well, you know.
Now that I think of it...

maybe we just, you know,

wait until he gives us the new...

Alvin, Dave is not a bank robber!

No, no, of... of course not.

Except... maybe.

Guys, there's only one way to find out.

Catch him in the act!

Or not.

Guys! He's... he's on the move!

I can't believe it.

He's actually creeping.

That's all the evidence we need.
Come on, guys.

Everyone knows only robbers creep!

Creepy.

See? He's going to rob the bank!

I knew it!
But you gotta hand it to him,

being a songwriter
is a pretty good cover.

We can't let him do this!

You're right!

[Dave] Ugh!

-Don't do it, Dave!
-Don't do what?

[Theodore] We... we know
you're the bank robber, Dave.

-Bank robber?
-[Alvin] Dave! Dave!

We don't need video games!

Well, you know,

I mean we do, but...
but don't sacrifice yourself for it!

Theodore, let go.
I'm not a bank robber!

[alarm]

Hey, wait! That's not you!

I know that's not me!

That's what I've been trying to tell you!

I'm trying to catch him!

Then what are we waiting for?

The police?

He's getting away!

Let's get him!

No! You guys stay here!
This could be dangerous!

[Dirk] Freeze!

Well, well, well.

If it isn't mister songwriter,
David Seville.

Oh, I... I can explain.

Tell it to the judge, Seville.

You're making a mistake.

...and I'm telling you,
you're facing 20 to life,

so just cooperate and confess.

But I'm innocent!
I was trying to catch the real thief.

Oh, really?
I never heard that excuse before.

Good one, Seville.

-[knocking]
-Yes?

You got the wrong man.

Dave didn't do this.

You boys need to stay
in the waiting room!

[Alvin] Oh, all right.

-[knocking]
-Yes?

Excuse me,
but how do you explain the fact

that Dave had nothing on him?

No money, no nothing?

Well, I'm sure he's hidden it
somewhere. Now get out!

-[knocking]
-What?

Excuse me,
but did... did you find anything?

He hid it really well.
Now get out!

-[knocking]
-I said, "Get out!"

Excuse me, sir!
Sir, we've caught the culprit.

Dirk! Go back to your day job in IT.

This man is no more
a burglar than I am!

Yeah, but I caught him
at the scene of the crime!

Ever heard of surveillance tapes?

It's all there in black and white.

This man is innocent.

Dressed strangely,

but innocent.

[together] IT?

[embarrassed laugh]

[Dirk] I'm so sorry

for accusing you.

[sobs]
I... I just want to be a field agent

and I was hoping
this would be my big break.

And I just wanted to impress my kid,

because he thinks I'm a loser!

Yes, yes, yes. I... I know.

Thanks. Thanks for being
so understanding.

[Dave] Of course. Of course.

Now, you know,
I've gathered a lot of clues.

No, no, no, no,
I don't want to hear it.

-La, la, la, la!
-No, no. I'm telling you.

I know where the robber's
gonna strike next.

You do?

So, if he sticks to his pattern,
this is the next bank.

Well, then we gotta
call someone! Wait! No!

There's no time to call anyone!

We have to go!
We gotta catch this guy!

Let's follow 'em!

If he gets on that bike, it's over!

[Simon] Theodore, throw me your rope!

Ow!

Congratulations, Seville.
You'd make a fine agent.

Oh, thank you, sir,
but it... it wasn't me.

Your colleague here did all the footwork.

Well, well.

We'll have to see
about that promotion, then, won't we?

Thank you.

[Dave] Come on guys, lights out.

I... I hope you go back
to songwriting, Dave.

Ugh! Are you kidding?

Dave should totally quit
the music business

and start a detective agency!

Come on, guys,
Dave could do the research,

Simon could be, you know,
in charge of all the IT stuff,

Theodore could cook
and make sure we have a good full meal

to go out there and do our work,
and I'd do the undercover stuff.

The really dangerous stuff!

[Dave] Alvin...

Dave and the Chipmunks,
Private Eyes, Ears and Tails!

Or... or we could call ourselves
the Singing Detectives!

We could solve crimes,

then churn out hits
with songs about our cases!

-Guys, you can get...
-[in unison] Alvin!
