[loud, upbeat music]

[mouths the words of the song]

Theodore!

[shouting] Theodore!

AAAH!

-[music stops]
-I have got some bad news.

I lost a bet with Bocarter
and I've gotta babysit his brother.

Ooh! These are really good.

Oh, well, I'm sorry
you have to babysit Neville,

but I'm... I'm sure
he's not that bad.

Oh, he... he's a little monster!

But I'm not gonna babysit him.

-You are.
-Wait, wait. what?

Oh, come on. Don't tell me
you don't remember.

We had that bet and you said,
"Alvin, please.

If I lose, I'll do whatever
you want for an entire day!"

No.

Well, anyway, that's what you said
and it was a great bet,

and you lost.
So, well, there you have it.

I'm cashing in.
You're gonna watch Neville.

Oh, no! When?

In, like, 30 minutes.

What?
Alvin, I had plans today. I...

Theodore, stop being so selfish!

I'm an incredibly busy guy,
with a very demanding schedule.

Oh, gee...

[rings door bell]

You're late.

Yeah. Well, you know,

I didn't know I was gonna be babysitting.
I actually...

I don't care
to hear about your excuses.

Now, come inside.

My parents put me in charge of my brother
for the day,

as if I don't have anything
better to do on a Saturday.

Now, you need to know,
my brother is a brat,

but my parents think he's perfect.

If something happens
and he complains to them,

-they'll have our heads.
-But not... not really, right?

I'm gonna go out and enjoy the day.
So, don't call me with any problems.

Just make it work
and do whatever he wants.

He and I have an understanding

that you'll be his new friend

as long as he tells our parents
I spent the day with him

and as long as he's happy
by the end of the day.

You do this
and I'll consider Alvin and I even.

All right. Are you ready?

-Well, I really don't know.
-Good!

-Oh. Well... I...
-So, Neville, dear brother,

look at me. Thank you.

I'm going to leave you
with your new best friend, Theodore.

Remember what we said
about Mummy and Daddy?

I was with you all day, right?

That's right. I got it,
so you can leave now! Goodbye!

-Oh! Hey!
-Aaah!

Would you like
to play a game with me?

Uh, yeah. Sure. Um...

What game do you want to play?

Surrender, Monster!

Hey! Uh, can you just...

OK. Stop!

Bam! Bam! Bam! Then surrender!

Yeah! OK! OK!
I surrender! I surrender!

Liar!

OK. OK.
Can we play a different game?

OK! Let's play Miss Potter!

Uh...
Is it like, um... this game?

No, it's very different.

You'll be Miss Potter,
the town baker.

OK, I... I can do that.

Hello, sir, would you like
some homemade bread or cookies?

No! I'm arresting you, Miss Potter!

You've been a very bad girl
and you've poisoned the villagers,

and now you must pay
for what you've done!

No! No! Not this again!

Bad, bad, bad, Potter!

Stop!

I don't want to play
these games any more!

[sobs]

I want my mummy!

Oh! No, no!
Don't do that! Don't cry!

I'll do whatever you want!

-OK, then. Come on.
-Aaah!

I wish Alvin weren't so busy.

[slurps]

I hate to interrupt
what looks like some very deep reading,

but aren't you supposed to be
watching Neville today?

Not to worry.
I got Theodore to handle it.

So you manipulated him
to do your dirty work again?

Simon, you don't have to put
a negative spin on it, OK?

Theodore loves kids.

And I enabled him to do
what he loves doing most.

[groans] Unbelievable.

[slurps]

Neville, tell me the truth.
OK?

Your parents really said
you could paint your room

any colour you want?

I told you, they said,
"Neville, this is your room.

If you want polka dots in your room,
that's your decision.

If you want dinosaurs,
that's up to you. If you want..."

OK, OK.

What do you want?

I want everything!

Everything. OK...

[Chipmunk song playing]

What's this?

It's a pirate hat, silly.

No. Yours is a pirate hat.

[shouting] Yours is a pirate hat!

Oh, fine.
So, what are we doing?

We're going to find a buried treasure.

Oh! OK!

I don't think we're supposed
to be in your parents' room.

No, it's fine. We're pirates.

Yeah, I know, but, still,
I... I think they'll be upset.

Come on.
We're going to steal the treasure,

because we're pirates.

And then we put
all the treasure back. Right?

Come on,
you have to dance like me!

No. I... I don't want to.

-Do it!
-[sighs]

Why... why are we moving
like this?

So the cameras don't see us.
But you're doing it wrong.

What? We're on camera?

No. Just you.

Because you're doing it wrong,
like I said.

Wait. What?

[Bo opens the front door] Hello?

Bo!

We had the best time!

We played pirates

and Theodore stole Mommy's treasure.

Oops!

I accidentally told him.

I didn't do that!
He's... he's lying!

Um, do you want to explain

why you're dancing
in my mother's hat?

Oh... oh, it's...
well, because, uh...

Oh, I just...
I just want to go home!

You're not going anywhere
till I get the jewels!

I told you! I don't have them!
Neville took them!

I did not!

Look, I won't call the police,
because then I'd get in trouble.

But when Alvin told me
he could trick you into watching Neville,

he left out the part
where you were a jewel thief!

I'll let you go,
just tell me where the jewellery is.

I... I told you, I don't know!

-[father] Boys?
-Coming, Daddy!

We have to go down for dinner.
But you're not going anywhere

until you give me back the jewellery.
You got that?

Bye, Theodore!
See you after supper, OK?

Neville,
you gotta tell him the truth!

Now you can stay with me forever.

No! Don't! No!
Neville, what are you doing?

We don't have a key for that!

Then he'll just have
to stay with us forever and ever.

[father] Boys!

Let's go, Neville.

And remember, if anyone asks,
I've been with you all day.

[robot voice] No movement detected.

Energy-conservation mode
initiated.

Huh?

Hello.
I've brought you some food.

Neville, please let me...

You're my best friend
and best friends share their food.

Yeah. Well, best friends also
make sure the other is happy.

And... and right now
you're making me very unhappy.

Well, now you're making me sad!
I'm gonna tell my mummy on you!

Fine. Tell her. I don't care!

You're being a very bad friend,
Neville.

-No!
-Uh-huh!

-No, I'm not!
-Yes, you are!

-No!
-Yes!

Well, what if... what if
I tell my brother the truth?

That would be good.
That would be good.

[sniffling] OK, well...
then will you stay forever?

No, but I'll bring you
a new friend to play with.

Oh, is he fun?

Well, he's, um... He's fun...
like, uh... like you're fun!

Oh! This is great news!

OK, I'll be right back!

Look here!
I found Mummy's treasure.

Good job, Neville!
Where did he hide them?

Oh. Um, well... um...
I accidentally hided them

under my pillow...
And then I accidentally forgot.

Neville, are you joking?

Can you get me out of here,
now?

Ugh! We lost the keys!

Oh, well...
I accidentally founded the keys too.

Sorry, Theodore. Neville,
say you're sorry to Theodore.

So, you promise you'll bring me
a friend who's fun like me?

He'll be here tonight!

Oh, goody!

-Hello?
-Hey, Alvin!

There's a party at Bocarter's house.
Are you coming?

A party? I'll be right over!

[rings door bell]

Wait. Where's the party?

This is the party!

It's just you and me!
You're my new best friend!

Wait, wait, wait.

Hold on!
Neville. Let go of my leg now.

Now. Neville, let go of my leg!

OK! Thanks, Theodore!

Theodore, wait!

OK, have fun!

[father speaking angrily]
Bocarter Beauregard Humphrey!

You let your brother
paint his room?

[Bo] You should have been
watching him!

No, you should have been
watching him!

Stop! You're not doing it right.

Will you get off of my back!

Or what?

Or what? Here's or what?

-And here's some more or what?
-How dare you?

[squabble]

[Alvin] You don't even know
what you're doing!

-[Bo] Gloves are off, buddy!
-Take that!

Hey, guys!
Dinner's on the tab...

-Theodore...
-Huh?

Can we wait to eat
until everyone is served, please?

Oh, yeah, yeah, OK.

-Help yourselves, girls.
-Thanks!

Alvin! Come on down for din...

Oh! Oh, hey, Kevin.
What are you doing here?

Oh, I'm assisting Alvin
on a day-to-day basis.

Wait. What?

Well, OK, so, like,

I really wanna get
into the music business

and Alvin said if I become
his personal assistant,

I'll learn all there is to know.
You know, from the inside.

Oh, did he? Did he?

OK, well, um, if it wouldn't be
too much trouble,

I'd like to make an appointment
to call him down for dinner.

Oh, well,
I know he can't see you now.

Kevin, I was joking.

Oh...
I'll call him right away, sir.

Alvin!

Guys, why don't you start eating?
I'll be right back.

Kevin, are you gonna sit down?

Nope. Gotta stay on my toes.

OK... Hey, Alvin.
Would you mind passing the pepper?

Uh, Kevin, Kevin?
Could you handle that, please?

Absolutely.

It's right in front of you, Alvin.

Excuse me.

Pardon my reach.

Almost...

There you go.

Kevin, Kevin,
hand me a roll, huh?

I got it.

-Kevin, you should have caught that.
-Yeah, next time, sir.

How do you know
they'll be a next...?

Sorry. Sorry.
I should have had that.

-Throw another one!
-Kevin, stop.

Please. One more. I've got this.

Got it!

See, Alvin? I got it.

Alvin, what are you doing
on the floor? Get up.

Oh!

Here, let me help you.

So, you're interested
in the music business, huh?

Yes, absolutely, Mr Seville!

I want to be a DJ, and that's
why I jumped at the chance

to train as production assistant

to a music-industry celebrity
like Alvin.

Oh, I see.

And what exactly
have you been learning to do?

I mean,
besides carry his school bag,

fold his T-shirts
and catch a roll?

Britt, I wouldn't expect you
to understand

the complexities of a mentorship.
There's a lot that goes into it.

Yep. Pretty complex.

Kevin, you got to make it faster
if I'm gonna make it there.

Sorry, sir.

He doesn't like me to be late.

-Yeah, OK, OK.
-Now, chop, chop!

Is this fast enough?

Poor Kevin.

[Kevin] Hey, Alvin. Do you think

I can show you some of my songs soon?

Kevin, all in good time, OK?

But right now,
let's focus on the task at hand.

Oh, absolutely!

Hey, Simon.

Have you seen Alvin
teach Kevin anything?

Like what?
How to style his hair?

Right. I... I didn't think so.

[Chipmunk song playing]

[DJ sounds]

Oh! Sorry for the noise,
Mr Seville.

He's really good.

Oh, Kevin, I just came down
to tell you I really like you music.

Oh, thank you!

[Alvin] Kevin! Come on! I'm sweating!

Oh, sh**t! Coming!

[Kevin] OK, all cosy?

You know,
I thought maybe tomorrow

I could play you my tape.

Ugh! Kevin,
it's been a long day, all right?

Yeah. Yeah.
I understand. Good night.

Kevin, I'm ready for breakfast.

Kevin? Kevin!

Kevin!

[Simon] Someone's in here!

[music playing]

Kevin, this is another
really great song!

Thank you!

Kevin! There you are!

Hello? Hello?

Oh, hey, Alvin.

What are you two doing
that's so important,

that you can't answer your boss?

Dave's listening to my songs!

I told you I'd get around to that.

Alvin, I think it'll be better
if I mentor Kevin from now on.

I don't think he should spend
his time doing your chores.

Kevin, is that how you feel?

Well, yeah.

I mean, you know, I trust him.

Oh. Uh-huh. OK.

I see how it is.

Well, that's fine!

Totally fine!

I'm really excited to show you
the studio I use.

Yeah. I can't wait!

If I'm not interrupting you two too much,

could someone
please pass the potatoes?

And Thursday I'll set up
a meeting at Galaxy Records.

Seriously?

Pass the potatoes!

OK... here you go, Alvin.

[Dave] So I'd just roll off a little bass,

which I think
gives a little better sound.

Oh, that's good!

You know, there's a singer
that I think should hear this.

Kevin, I love your music.
I just love it!

Wow! Thank you! That means
so much coming from you!

And, Kevin,
if you keep your grades up,

you might get a scholarship
to a music academy!

Oh, my grades aren't a problem.
I'm a straight-A student.

Oh, that's great, Kevin!

Oh, I can't believe it!

Alvin,

are you OK?

I've been betrayed!

Betrayed by my father
and my best friend!

-No!
-Oh, calm down.

Kevin's not your best friend.

I can't expect you
to understand, Simon.

Dave and I share a special bond.
I'm his favourite child.

So, being betrayed by him is...
Oh! It's too much!

-Just too much!
-Favourite child?

How did he betray you?

He stole my assistant!

Oh! You mean your best friend?

Yes, yes, yes.

What does Dave
even like about him anyway?

Well, he's talented,
his music is great,

he's well organised,
and he schedules everything.

Oh, I'm feeling better now.
Thank you.

h*, h*! Kevin left his computer.

He thinks he's so talented
and organised.

Well, I'll show him!

I'll swap this here.
Move this over there.

Change this to that,
and put this thing over here.

Ugh! Does anyone know
where Dave and Kevin are?

Dave left an hour ago.
I can't believe Kevin

is gonna get a chance
to meet with Galaxy Records!

Wait. Wait. Wait. What?

Yeah. It's his dream come true.

Wait.
When did they say that?

The other night, at dinner, when you were
obsessed with the potatoes?

Oh, no!

I changed everything
in his computer.

-Changed?
-I moved everything around!

Like what?

I don't even know.
I was blind with jealousy!

Oh, jeez,
I don't know where he is.

This isn't like him.

You know,
let me just give him a call.

No, no, no, no!
I gotta call Kevin!

So, this has been
a passion of mine

since I was seven years old I started...

[phone rings]

Hello? Oh, hey, Dave.

What? No, no, no!
My calendar says 10:30!

Oh, I'm so sorry!
I don't know what happened!

I'm on my way!

Answer! Answer! Answer!

[panting]

I'm so sorry! I...

Oh, no! Oh, no!

Oh, man...

Sorry! Sorry, guys! Sorry!

[music starts]

Wait. Sorry.
This isn't the right song.

Wait!

What?

No! Oh, this sounds terri...

Kevin,
I think we've seen enough, OK?

Just cut the sound.

I'm so sorry about all this.

It's OK.
But look, I've got another meeting.

So, uh, Dave,
let's catch up soon, huh?

Kevin, come on.
I'll take you home.

So, that's what I did.

Do you think I'm a bad person,
Dave?

No, but I think
you did a bad thing

and, you know, obviously,

you have to try
and make it right and...

-Alvin?
-I'm on it!

What's taking so long?
They've been in there for an hour!

-Thank you so much.
-You're right, Dave.

He's good.
I'm gonna give him an internship.

Internship?
Oh, you must be joking.

No. I was thinking more
of an executive vice-president.

-Alvin...
-Give me your best offer

-and we'll negotiate.
-No. Please.

-Kevin, I know what I'm doing.
-Alvin! Stop!

Would you please
leave this to me?

Best offers
are never best offers.

-I need to protect my client.
-Alvin!
