Dialogue

 * Dave: Now let's see...Shirts, pants, overcoats, socks...Am I forgetting everything?
 * Alvin: [rushes in] Me! [jumps on Theodore and landed on the suitcase]
 * Dave: Alvin, we've been through this a million times!
 * Alvin: [to Dave] Please, Dave! I need a little culture in my life, the Eiffel Tower, the Sistine Chapel, the Louvre in Rome!
 * Simon: The Louvre is in Paris, Alvin.
 * Alvin: [to Dave] See? I don't even know where the louvre is! Please, [grabs Dave's legs] take me with you, Dave!
 * Dave: Alvin, for the very last time, this is strictly a business trip, it's just not practical. Besides, I've hired someone very good to take care of you while I'm gone.
 * [A car's tire screeches outside, and what sounds like garbage cans crashing are heard; Theodore groans and puts his head in his hand]
 * Simon: Did it have to be Miss Miller, Dave?
 * Dave: Now, come on, fellas, she's a very nice woman.


 * Theodore: Since when does Alvin like playing Around the World in 30 Days?
 * Simon: Since he feels it's as close to a world trip as he'll ever get.


 * [After Alvin loses the Around the World in 30 Days arcade game to Brittany]
 * Brittany: [victoriously] Hooray! I won!
 * Alvin: [jealous] You're lucky this is only a game! You'd never beat me if this was for real!
 * Brittany: [offended] Oh, is that so?!
 * Alvin: Yeah, that so! If I had the money, I'd race you around the world right now!
 * Brittany: Oh, no, you can't!
 * Alvin: I haven't had something special in my life! You never let me win!
 * Claudia: [lightens up as she watches their argument and gets a devious idea] Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
 * Klaus: Oh, don't be ridiculous. It's too dangerous. They're only children.
 * Claudia: Exactly. Who would suspect them?
 * Klaus: No, Claudia, it's out of the question.
 * Claudia: [slams on the table] Listen to me, Klaus! If you think I'm going to let you botch up this deal like you did the last one...
 * Klaus: Must you keep reminding me?! I underestimated Jamal! It won't happen again!
 * Claudia: [strictly] You bet, it won't! We're doing things my way this time!
 * Brittany: Well, unless you inherit a fortune, Alvin, I guess we'll never know.


 * Alvin: Come on, Simon. Help me out.
 * Simon: [firmly] Absolutely not. I refuse to be a part of this deception.
 * Alvin: Okay, Theodore, it's you and me. We just need Dave to say: "Hello, Miss Miller, I want Alvin, Simon, and Theodore, to meet me in Europe. Bye-bye." Is the tape recorder ready?
 * Theodore: [wrapped around in recording tape; nervously] I think so.
 * Simon: I can't believe you'd deceive Miss Miller for a package of Tutti Frutti, Theodore.
 * Theodore: Two packages. [holds them out]
 * Alvin: What could be better? An all-expense-paid trip around the world and a chance at winning $100,000. Besides, we'll be back before Dave gets home.
 * Simon: Do you realize it's 3:00 in the morning where Dave is?
 * Alvin: Exactly. [begins dialing the number] He'll be putty in my hands.


 * Alvin: [grabs the phone and pretends to talk to Dave] Hello? Dave! What a coincidence! We were just talking about you! Sure. Miss Miller, it's Dave. He wants to talk to you.
 * Miss Miller: Hello? [Theodore accidentally presses the "Reverse" button and the message starts playing in reverse] Huh? [rubs her ear]
 * Simon: It's not your hearing aid, Miss Miller.
 * Alvin: [laughs nervously] It's a bad connection. [glares at Simon]
 * [Theodore presses the "Slow" button and the recording starts playing in slow-motion]
 * Dave: [recording in slow-motion] Hello, Miss Miller...
 * [Alvin facepalms]
 * Miss Miller: David, are you drunk?
 * [Theodore presses the "Play" button and faints as the recording plays normally]
 * Dave: [recording] Hello, Miss Miller. I want Alvin, Simon, and Theodore, to meet me in Europe. Bye-bye.
 * [As Alvin grabs the cereal box]
 * Miss Miller: Could you repeat that, David?
 * [Alvin groans and throws the cereal box in frustration, we fade to black; Later, a taxi drops off the Chipmunks at the Furschtein's mansion]
 * Alvin: Klaus and Claudia wanted us here at 2:00. I hope we're not too late.
 * Theodore: Simon, I feel kinda funny about tricking Miss Miller.
 * Simon: It's called, "guilt", Theodore.


 * Jeanette: [to Simon] Simon, which route do you think we should take to Bermuda?
 * Simon: Well, if you insist on going, don't take the east-turning route. I heard on the news that there's a hurricane coming in that direction.
 * Brittany: Thank you for your advice, Simon. [drags Jeanette away] What a liar! He's getting as bad as Alvin.
 * Jeanette: But what if he's telling the truth, Brittany?
 * Brittany: Oh, Jeanette, don't be so naive. He's just saying that because our route is shorter, and he doesn't want us to win.


 * [As the Chipmunks land in Mexico...]
 * Theodore: Isn't Rio beautiful?
 * Simon: We're in Mexico, Theodore.
 * Theodore: Oh! That's what I mean.
 * Simon: Alvin, land the balloon by the fountain. [their balloon instead lands in a tree] Like I said, in the tree. Your first drop-off is the Cluck 'N Taco.
 * Alvin: You mean our first drop-off.
 * Simon: [wisely] I'm only along to see you don't get into too much trouble.
 * Theodore: [sees the restaurant up ahead] Hey, there it is! The Cluck 'N Taco! [runs up to a counter] I'll have two cheese enchiladas with extra sauce, and a tostada grande, oh, and a quesadilla with a side of guacamole, uh, two chile...
 * Simon: [setting him down] They're closed, Theodore.
 * Alvin: [at another counter, where a mechanical sombrero is located] Oh, fellas!
 * Simon: The instructions say to drop the doll under the little sombrero.
 * [Alvin places the Alvin doll under the sombrero which covers it and brings it inside the restaurant; The Chipmunks watch while they wait; The sombrero then returns and uncovers the Brittany doll]
 * Alvin: [grabs the Brittany doll] Well, what do you know? One down, and eleven to go!
 * Theodore: And one quesa... [the window is quickly shut] ...dilla.
 * Simon: Forget it, Theodore.
 * Alvin: [chuckles] And you thought we were gonna have trouble.


 * [The Chipmunks and Chipettes end up meeting each other in Athens, Greece]
 * Alvin: I love Athens. The nightlife, the girls, the excitement.
 * Simon: Alvin, you've never been to Athens.
 * Alvin: Well, it looks like a city I would love.
 * Theodore: [gasps as he spots a nearby food stand and tiptoes over; to the merchant] I'll have a large order of couscous, and two yalanchi donuts. Quickly, please!
 * [Alvin grabs an apple from a fruit stand, but someone else has a grip on it, and gets into a tug-of-war]
 * Brittany: [off-screen] I saw it first!
 * Alvin: [surprised] Brittany?!
 * Brittany: [also surprised] Alvin? What are you doing here?
 * Alvin: We're on our way to Istanbul. What are you doing here?
 * Brittany: We're on our way to Cairo.
 * Simon: Uh, have you guys had any, uh, trouble along the way?
 * Jeanette: Well, there was this guy...
 * Brittany: [covers Jeanette's mouth shut] Uh, we've had nothing but smooth sailing. And you?
 * Simon: Well, actually, I get the feeling...
 * Alvin: [covers Simon's mouth shut] It's been a piece of cake! The only problem we have is crowd control! [finally snatches the apple from Brittany] We're the hottest act in rock-and-roll. But you don't have that problem, do you?
 * Jeanette: No.
 * Brittany: Sure, we do.
 * Alvin: [chuckles] No, you don't.
 * Brittany: [angrily, as Eleanor tries to hold her back] All right, Mr. Popularity, how much you wanna bet we can out-rock-and-roll you?!
 * [Alvin tips his hat as a bet]
 * Simon: [to Jeanette] We've got to keep these two apart.
 * [Alvin and Brittany yank Simon and Jeanette away from each other; Theodore is just about to have his plate of couscous and yalanchi donuts]
 * Alvin: [grabs Theodore and yanks him away] Come on, Theodore!
 * Theodore: But my couscous!


 * Jeanette: What's in the ice chest, Eleanor?
 * Eleanor: Oh, uh, just some cold treats and sandwiches.
 * Brittany: Oh, Elly! How can you think of food at a time like this?!


 * Alvin: What's going on?
 * Simon: Uh, if I'm translating correctly, I think they said that Theodore is their long-lost Prince of Plenty.
 * Alvin: [ecstatically] Prince of Plenty? Now, you're talking.
 * Simon: And the only way for us to live, is to be his slaves.
 * Alvin: [offended] Slaves?! Forget it! [tries to leave, but the natives blocks him with their spears, causing him to lift the chair; nervously to Theodore] Where to, Your Royalness?


 * [Alvin and Simon are collecting mushrooms in a nearby cave for "Prince Theodore"]
 * Alvin: 3:00 in the morning and Prince Theodore has a craving for mushrooms! I hope he chokes on 'em!
 * Simon: Alvin!
 * Alvin: Well, I've HAD IT! [throws down the mushroom plate to the ground in a fit of anger]
 * Simon: [finds a series of Ancient ideograms on the walls] Hey, Alvin, look over here.
 * Alvin: What is it, Simon?
 * Simon: It's ancient writing that says: "Sacrifice the full moon on the Prince of Plenty." That doesn't make any sense. Oh, how silly of me! It's eyes before eats except after teeth. I got it reversed. It says: "Sacrifice the Prince of Plenty on the full moon."
 * [A full moon shines in the sky above them]
 * Alvin and Simon: [gasp in alarm] Oh, no!
 * Simon: They're going to sacrifice Theodore tonight!
 * Alvin: Over my dead body!
 * [The Chipmunks are then seen hanging above a pit of crocodiles while being tied up]
 * Simon: [annoyed] You mean, over our dead bodies.


 * [The Chipmunks and Chipettes arrive at the Los Angeles International Airport and their hot air balloon crashes into a plane's wing while the Furschtein siblings wait on the landing strip for their arrival]
 * Claudia: [sees their balloon] There they are! [the kids crash land on the pavement as she and Klaus walk over to them] Children! Oh, children! Oh, how good to see you, darlings!
 * Alvin: Don't "children" us! [fiercely points the spear at them]
 * Brittany: Yeah, we know all about the diamonds!


 * Claudia: [calling out to the Chipmunks and Chipettes] Oh, wait! I have a message from Miss Miller! [the kids stop, bumping into one another; approaching them] Hand over the dolls, and do as we say if you ever want to see your babysitter again!
 * Alvin: [thinking about it] Hmm.
 * Simon: [angrily] Alvin!


 * [The Furschtein siblings lead the Chipmunks and the Chipettes to their car, where the kids find Mario bounded and gagged]
 * Claudia: I'm sure you know Sophie, but I don't think you've met Mario. He has a tendency to talk too much.
 * Klaus: [shoving Alvin aboard their car] Get in!
 * Alvin: [as his cap is blown off his head by the wind] Hey! My cap!
 * [The cap lands in front of Dave]
 * Dave: [picks up the cap] Hey, this cap look like Alvin's.
 * Alvin: Dave!
 * Dave: [turns around] Huh?
 * Alvin: HELP!
 * [The car speeds off]
 * Dave: Somebody, help! My son's in trouble!
 * Inspector Jamal: Inspector Jamal. [shows Dave his identification card] Let's go.


 * Claudia: In a few minutes, we'll be on our private jet to Costa Rica. [to Klaus] Here's to me. [she and Klaus see Miss Miller approaching them in her convertible and brace themselves for impact]
 * Miss Miller: [alarmed] Oh, good heavens! [swerves out of the way]
 * [The Furschteins' car crashes into a lamppost; Claudia and Klaus are wounded up on the floor, moaning next to Mario]
 * Theodore: You should have been wearing your seat belts.
 * Miss Miller: [sees her car mirror falls off] Huh? [sobs hysterically] MY CAR!!! [angrily storms out of the vehicle] I HOPE YOU HAVE INSURANCE, BUSTER! Huh? [looks the right way to where the villains' wrecked car is] Never in all my life have I seen such reckless driving!
 * Chipmunks: [poking their heads out of the window] Miss Miller?
 * Miss Miller: [gasps in surprise] Boys?
 * [Inspector Jamal and Dave arrive at the wreckage]
 * Dave: [getting out of the car] Kids!
 * Chipmunks and Chipettes: [running out of the car] Dave! You're here! [they all hug Dave]
 * Alvin: Oh, it's so good to see you, Dave! Uh, I think.
 * Inspector Jamal: [spots the groaning Furschtein siblings; smugly] Well, if it isn't my old friends, Klaus and Claudia.
 * Klaus: [disappointed, raises the glass with sarcasm, to his sister] Here's to you, Claudia. [gets cuffed]
 * [Inspector Jamal puts the Furschtein siblings in a police car as they're arrested]
 * Claudia: [sticking out of the car window as one of the officers tangles with a vicious Sophie] If so much as one hair is out of place on my Sophie, you'll live to regret it!
 * Miss Miller: [sobbing] I can understand this deception from Alvin, but not you, Theodore. [continues to sob, and blows her nose on Theodore's cloak with a honking noise]
 * Theodore: [also tearfully] I'm sorry, Miss Miller.


 * [Last lines]
 * Alvin: Hey, what about my $100,000?!
 * Brittany: Your $100,000? We won the race!
 * Alvin: Oh, yeah?
 * Brittany: Yeah.
 * Alvin: Oh, yeah?
 * Dave: [unimpressed] All right, you two. We've got a lot of talking to do. [walks them over to Miss Miller's convertible]
 * Alvin and Brittany: Yes, Dave.
 * Simon: Maybe you should let Dave drive, Miss Miller.
 * Miss Miller: I wouldn't think of it. Besides, driving relaxes me. [as Dave puts Alvin and Brittany both in the backseat with their siblings] Get in, David.
 * [Dave sits in the front seat and they start to drive home]
 * Alvin: [pleading] But, Dave, they promised us $100,000.
 * Dave: Not now, Alvin.
 * Alvin: But, they've got $5,000,000 in diamonds! [leans towards him] Don't we get anything?!
 * Dave: [annoyed] Alvin.
 * Alvin: But, we've just cracked a huge smuggling ring!
 * Miss Miller: [shouts as they drive off down the highway, into the sunset] Shut up, Alvin!
 * Alvin: Okay, okay. We'll give you half.
 * Dave: ALVIN!!! [Fade to black, ending the film.]
