founded upon,
I say let the people vote.
Let them choose!
One person, one vote.
I say, let us vote!
STUDENTS: Let us vote!
Let us vote!
Let us vote!
Let us vote!
Please,
don't be a fascist granny.
Let freedom ring, Doctor.
STUDENTS: Let us vote!
Let us vote!
You make a persuasive case,
Mr. Hawke.
All right, here's what
I'm going to do.
This Friday, each group
will perform one song
in front of the student body.
Yes!
All right!
Whoever gets
the most applause
will represent the school.
What?
Thank you!
Yes!
We did it!
In your face!
Oh, it is on
like Donkey Kong.
NARRATOR ON TV:
The meerkats Huddle together
at the end of a traumatic day
to reaffirm
their family bond.
The Whiskers are gonna
Have to rely on each other
more than ever.
Guys, I am so happy that
Ms. Ortega can rehearse with
us every day after school.
Whoa! Every day?
But Ryan and I have...
Alvin,
stop right there, okay?
We're a team.
We need you.
Would you relax?
We're not gonna lose.
We'll talk about
this in the morning.
Not much to talk about.
I will see you at rehearsal.
Stop hogging.
I'm not hogging.
You might as well be
rooting out truffles in
the French countryside,
because you are,
in fact, hogging!
I'm not!
Are so!
Not! Am not! Not! Not!
So! So! So! So!
Ah, forget it!
I think I'll sleep
in my own bed tonight.
Ditto for me.
I'm so glad I'm
not a meerkat!
SIMON: Oh, really?
Why is that?
Because as cold as I am,
I would never
huddle with you!
Good!
You hear me?
I won't huddle!
Fine!
(WHIMPERS)
Uh, Toby?
Can I sleep with you?
What?
Dave lets me.
My brothers are fighting.
Well... I'm... Okay.
(THEODORE SIGHS)
(FARTING)
THEODORE:
Oh, man! Dutch oven!
Not the Dutch oven!
Anything but the Dutch oven!
Must find fresh air
before it's too late!
(SCREAMS)
It's too late! It burns.
(SCREAMS)
Mama, it burns!
(GASPING)
(WHIMPERING)
Hmm, let's see.
What else am I
in the mood for?
How about a side order
of friendly advice?
Courtesy of me.
No, thanks.
Grapes, please.
Ooh! Oh! Excuse me.
Oh! Um...
(LAUGHING) Yeah, well,
(STAMMERING)
I just wanted to
warn you about lan.
What? You should
be grateful to lan.
He did
everything for you, Alvin,
and you broke his heart.
Hmm. Really?
How do I put this gently?
He's the devil.
He doesn't have a heart.
Oh, and one of
the things he did for us
was put us in a cage.
Alvin,
he would never do that.
Yeah, 'cause you
were there. I forgot.
Brittany,
you'd better watch out.
I don't need advice from you.
But...
But nothing, Alvin.
Lan's taking us
straight to the top!
(SCREAMING)
(ALL LAUGHING)
Got it.
Straight to the top.
Ironic.
Yeah, funny.
(LAUGHING SARCASTICALLY)
(CHIPETTES SINGING
SINGLE LADIES)
We are so going
to destroy those Chipmunks.
I don't wanna
destroy them.
Me, neither.
I just wanna
hang out with them.
All right,
all right, all right.
Hold... All right, look.
You know,
if you feel that way,
maybe we should just
withdraw from the contest.
What?
Then I'll put you
in a FedEx package
and mail you back to
whatever tree you
came from. Sound good?
No.
Okay, then.
Take it from the top.
Let's go!
(MUSIC RESUMES)
All right. Wait. Stop!
Short one in the green dress.
What's your name again?
Eleanor.
Yeah, look,
I'm losing you there,
you know.
Have you always
been that short?
I... I guess.
Well, you got to
work on that. Okay?
All right, let me try
something here.
Brittany.
Here, come up here.
BRITTANY: Uh...
No, you two stay back.
Little further.
Oh, yeah.
Now, that I like.
And it's not just
because Brittany's
more of a mega,
ultra superstar
than you guys.
Good, good.
Okay, you know what?
Let's get a little
more separation.
Brittany, stay there.
Let's get a little more
separation from you guys.
Yeah, let's give her
some room.
Give her some room, guys.
Back.
Okay.
All right, watch me
