gone. Not gone, guys. He's...
He's not dead. He's very much alive.
He's completely coming back.
I'm just gonna be in his room,
keeping his bed warm.
I'm gonna be doing my thing,
you'll be doing your thing.
You're not even gonna know I'm there.
We're supposed to know you're there.
That's... That's the whole idea.
Yeah. Yeah! Oh, yeah. Absolutely.
Yeah, you'll know that I'm there.
I'm just saying, I'm not gonna be,
like, "I know everything"
and, "You do this, and you do that,"
like my dad.
All right! Let's do this.
Oh, boy.
Theodore, we're gonna be just fine.
The important thing is we're all still alive.
Maybe my get well card
will help Dave get homefaster.
It needs just a touch more glitter.
Yep, that should do it. Who's hungry?
- Me, me! Me! Me!
- Let's eat.
Simon?
It's a food ghost town in here. Alvin?
Holla! The Cheese Balls
are in the hizzouse!
Well you can tell
by the way I use my walk
I'm a Cheese Balls man
No time to talk
Whether you're a brother
or whether you're a mother
You gotta love Cheese Balls
Gotta love Cheese Balls
Get in my belly
Cheese Balls, get in there
Stayin' a live
Bingo! Dinner, she's a-served.
- Yay! All right!
- Hey! What're you doing in here?
- Cheese Ball?
- Dude, let's go! Come on!
Tom-bo, hey, hey,
give me a second, real quick.
Alvin, I really, really need
to focus right now
because I am one knockout away
from a heavyweight title.
Can we play as well?
You know,
I don't wanna hurt your feelings,
but I also don't wanna see
anybody get hurt,
and there are gonna be
fists of fury a-flying.
We can play Monopoly.
We play Monopoly with Dave all the time.
Do you? That sounds fun,
and we should do that sometime,
but right now I gotta get back
to floating like a butterfly
and stinging like a bee. So...
Hey, Tom-bo, you still there, buddy?
Who needs Toby, Theodore? You got us!
Yeah, who needs Toby?
Boys, right this way.
I'm gonna puke!
Do you know what Dave would say
If he were here right now?
- Alvin!
- Alvin!
Not bad. But I think it needs to come
more from the belly.
- Alvin!
- Alvin!
Phone. Get it together.
Be cool.
- Hello?
- Yes?
- Boys, it's me.
- Dave!
Dave? As in, "Dave"?
Well, I guess
since you answered the phone,
- you haven't burned down the house yet.
- Have a little faith, Dave.
Yeah. Mayday!
- What was that?
- Don't stress him out.
That was Aunt Jackie. Yeah.
She's making us a zesty five-course meal.
Really? Well, can I talk to her?
- She's practicing her pole dancing.
- Pole dancing?
What happened to making dinner?
Guys, what's going on?
- Gotta go, Dave.
- Alvin, I'm not kidding.
- Feel better.
- Alvin!
Yep. Nobody does that better than him.
Toby? Toby, wake up.
Sorry.
No, that's... That's okay. What is it?
I had a nightmare.
The nightmares.
I hate the nightmares. What was it?
I dreamt we didn't have afamily anymore.
Theodore.
Theodore, that couldn't happen.
No, you guys are tight.
Nothing could ever separate you.
Unless, like, an eagle swooped down
from the sky and was like, caw-caw!
- What?
- And grabbed you and...
Which... Which couldn't happen, ever.
So why would you...
Why would you ever think that
that would ever happen?
You know,
'cause the Eagles are in Philadelphia.
No! No!
Sweet dreams.
- Toby! Toby, make it stop!
- What are you doing?
There's something wrong with the clock!
It won't shut up! I can't sleep!
That's the point. It's an alarm clock.
It helps you wake up early in the morning.
- Why would anyone wanna wake up early?
- Well, for school.
- You gotta be there by 8:00.
- In the morning?
Look, I don't like getting up this early
any more than you do.
But we are in this together, Alvin.
Sooner you get to school, sooner I get
to come home and get back to sleep.
You mean,
you don't stay with us at school?
No, no, no, no, no. No, I've done
my time, thank you very much.
