not me.
I know what we should do.
- Chipmunks! Chipmunks!
- Chipmunks! Chipmunks!
- Chipmunks! Chipmunks! Chipmunks!
- Chipmunks! Chipmunks! Chipmunks!
Hi, everyone.
Our brother Alvin couldn't be here today.
The thing is,
we've never performed without Alvin.
And we're not starting now.
You can't have only two little pigs.
You can't have only two musketeers.
So, you know
you can't have only two Chipmunks.
Thank you.
I'll take you home.
Hear that, girls?
That is the sound of success.
I realize how devastated
you Chipmunk fans must be.
So, I guess that means that the Chipettes
- will be representing West Eastman...
- Come on, girls.
Let's take a victory lap.
Hey, come on, guys. Let's go.
- Brit, we have to.
- Let's go.
Yeah! Let them know!
Thank you. Thanks.
Life is good.
Especially when you're not a loser.
Hey, guys! I'm here!
Guys?
Great.
They're gone, Alvin.
They're never gonna forgive me.
You know, Alvin, Ian was right.
You don't care about anyone but yourself.
And by the way,
I never wanted to win this way.
Simon? Theodore?
Simon, are you awake?
Theo?
Theo!
Theodore? Theodore?
Theodore, I don't blame you
for being mad...
"I ran away from home.
"Don't look for me at the zoo,
'cause I'm not there. "
Oh, no, Theodore.
Hello? Meerkatfamily?
Oh, brother.
Is anyone home?
My name is Theodore.
I'd like to be in yourfamily.
Maybe they're hiding.
Don't be afraid!
You are not a meerkat.
Toby, you take the lions,
the tigers and the bears.
Simon and I will take the butterfly room.
Nice eagle.
- Theo!
- Don't move, Theodore!
No problem there.
Hang in there! Hang in there, little guy!
We're gonna get you out of there!
Okay, okay, we need a plan.
We need a carefully executed plan.
Or you could just run in there
like a maniac.
- Theo, watch out!
- Hi, I'm Theodore.
Hey, birdie! Over here! Are you hungry?
'Cause this "A" stands for "appetizer"!
Let's all just relax
and we'll talk this out. Okay?
Look, I get why you want Theodore. I do.
But, I'm sorry, I can't let that happen.
He's my brother. Not that he'd know that,
because I've been such a big jerk lately.
If anyone deserves to be eaten, it's me.
Not literally!
I got you, Alvin!
Move it!
- Theo.
- Help!
Guys, it's a wedge-tail eagle.
Their only mortal enemy
is the pygmy elephant.
Luckily, I speak a little pachyderm.
I think it's working!
Or not!
Guys, that was huge.
He's right.
So, are we back to one for all
and three for one?
Come on, Simon. Hug it out.
You know I'm sorry, Si.
Si? Don't make me have to kiss you!
Because I'll do it. I don't care.
Here come the lips.
Make-out train is leaving the station.
- Think I'll take that hug.
- Guys.
Interested? Call Ian Hawke. 310-555-5309.
Deloris,
get me that Ian Hawke on the phone.
- There you are...
- Hi.
...my sweet little moneymakers.
Do you remember when I told you
that I would make you all big stars?
- Yeah.
- Well,
guess who's opening up for Britney
Spears at the Staples Center tonight?
- Yeah!
- Pinch me. Am I dreaming? Oh, my gosh.
Wait, tonight?
We'll miss the school contest.
That is correct.
You will miss the school contest.
You're so smart.
I can never get anything past you.
It was never about
that stupid school contest.
It was always about
making Brittany a star.
That's what you wanted, right?
- Well, yeah.
- Well, tonight's your big chance.
It's all about you, Brittany.
What about Jeanette and Eleanor?
Yeah, well, they can sing backup.
I got them some stuff, too.
Hey!
But we're her sisters.
And the three of us sing together
or not at all.
Okay, fine. All I really need is the B-girl.
Ian, I won't do it without them.
Okay. Fine, fine. Let's move on to plan B.
- Okay! Who likes barbecue?
- Barbecue?
Because I know this awesome little
barbecue restaurant in the Valley
that makes the best roasted chipmunk.
