Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Thank you, Doctor, for dropping by tonight.
00:00:21I wish I could tell you that Tommy's going to get well by Christmas, but I can't.
00:00:26To tell you the truth, I've tried everything possible.
00:00:30I know you have, Doctor.
00:00:32I just wish we knew what was wrong with him.
00:00:34Tommy's not even interested in his music anymore.
00:00:37His sister reads to him every night, hoping something would snap him out of it.
00:00:42Where were we, Tommy?
00:00:44Oh, I remember.
00:00:47The handsome prince was searching everywhere for the beautiful maiden.
00:00:56Gee, what a wonderful day!
00:01:06A perfect day for Christmas shopping.
00:01:09Let's go!
00:01:11Hey, wake up! Wake up!
00:01:17Only five more days till Christmas.
00:01:24Let's wake him up with a song.
00:01:27Wake up, Dave!
00:01:29It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
00:01:34Time to get up everywhere you go.
00:01:37Wake up, Dave!
00:01:38Take a look in the five and ten.
00:01:39Glistening once again.
00:01:40With candy chains and silver lanes aglow.
00:01:41Good morning!
00:01:42Theodore!
00:01:43Simon!
00:01:44Alvin!
00:01:45Yes, David, dear!
00:01:46I am fully aware that there are only five more days before Christmas.
00:02:07And three hundred and seventy days until next Christmas!
00:02:13It's a wonderful day!
00:02:16It's the greatest of the year!
00:02:19And furthermore!
00:02:20Time for singing and dancing and dancing!
00:02:26You can't just run in here and wake me up and...
00:02:30Look at all of those presents just waiting!
00:02:35Wait a minute, you guys.
00:02:36There by the tree, we hope...
00:02:40Gee, that sounds pretty.
00:02:43And I hope the rest are for me!
00:02:47Hear those bells that are ringing!
00:02:52Oh, Christmas time is so near!
00:02:56It's a wonderful day!
00:03:00It's the greatest time of the year!
00:03:05Working on Christmas vacation?
00:03:07It's criminal!
00:03:09Aw, come on, you guys.
00:03:11It's only a little recording session.
00:03:13It's work!
00:03:15Maybe I'll even let you play your harmonica, Alvin.
00:03:18My harmonica!
00:03:19My harmonica!
00:03:20My harmonica!
00:03:25You see, Alvin, it's your responsibility to...
00:03:41Right, Dave!
00:03:43Responsibility!
00:03:44We'll share the responsibility!
00:03:47You go on and get the studio ready, and we'll go window shopping!
00:03:52Well, that sounds fair enough.
00:03:54Hey!
00:03:55Don't be late!
00:03:57Let's go!
00:03:59Nah!
00:04:00On a chipmunk skating board, through the crowds we play.
00:04:05Shopping all the way, stockings hung with care.
00:04:09Soon Santa will be here.
00:04:11What fun it is to shop all day when Dave is nowhere near.
00:04:15Oh, Christmas time, Christmas time, Christmas time is here.
00:04:25See? That's your very own twin brother.
00:04:28You're the best harmonicas in the whole world.
00:04:32Oh, Mommy, there it is.
00:04:34The golden echo harmonica.
00:04:38It's the one Tommy wants more than anything in the world.
00:04:42Can't we buy it for Mommy?
00:04:45Oh, it would make him feel so much better.
00:04:47I know, darling. Maybe next year we can afford it.
00:04:51But Tommy will just die if he doesn't get his harmonica.
00:04:55Don't say that, darling.
00:04:56You know how very, very sick Tommy is.
00:05:00We must save everything we can.
00:05:03Just to see that Tommy makes it through Christmas.
00:05:09What does that mean, Mommy?
00:05:11Make it through Christmas.
00:05:13I still don't understand, Mommy.
00:05:15He won't make what through Christmas?
00:05:17Ready, fellas?
00:05:27Ready whenever you are, Dave.
00:05:30Christmas, Christmas, time is near.
00:05:34Time for joy.
00:05:35Hold it, Alvin. You're a little flat.
00:05:37Let's try it again.
00:05:39We've been good.
00:05:41But we did well.
00:05:42I'll tell you what, Dave. Let's take a break.
00:05:51Take a break?
00:05:53Gee, thanks, Dave.
00:05:55Alvin!
00:05:56Mommy, it's Alvin.
00:06:16Tommy, you have a guest.
00:06:20It's probably another doctor.
00:06:22Well, no, I'm not a doctor.
00:06:25I'm a sort of delivery boy.
00:06:29Oh, hi, Alvin.
00:06:30What are you delivering?
00:06:32More medicine?
00:06:34No.
00:06:35You see, Tommy, they had this kind of prize contest
00:06:39down at the department store
00:06:41in the music department.
00:06:44And, uh, somebody put your name in.
00:06:47And, well, anyway, Tommy, you won first prize.
00:06:52And here it is.
00:06:53The Golden Echo Harmonica.
00:06:57The Golden Echo Harmonica.
00:07:03Well, gotta go.
00:07:05Merry Christmas.
00:07:12Mr. Seville, you're running out of studio time.
00:07:15Well, I guess we'll just have to record Alvin later.
00:07:19Ready, fellas?
00:07:20Okay, Dave.
00:07:22One, two, three.
00:07:23One, two, three.
00:07:26Christmas, Christmas, time is near.
00:07:30Time for joy and time for cheer.
00:07:35We've been good, but we can't last.
00:07:40Hurry, Christmas, hurry fast.
00:07:44Want a plane that loops the loop.
00:07:49Me, I want a hula hoop.
00:07:54We can hardly stand the wait.
00:07:58Please, Christmas, don't be late.
00:08:02I'll get it.
00:08:10Hello?
00:08:11Oh, hi, Mr. Berkheimer.
00:08:13No, of course it's not too late to talk business.
00:08:18Oh, yes, I intend to follow through with your suggestion.
00:08:20Boy, Alvin, I can't believe you gave your harmonica away.
00:08:24Me either.
00:08:25But I just knew it would make Tommy feel better.
00:08:28Did you tell Dave?
00:08:29I can't tell Dave.
00:08:31Dave gave me that harmonica.
00:08:34I'll have to save my money and get another one after Christmas.
00:08:38It's all set for Christmas Eve?
00:08:40That's great.
00:08:41It's Carnegie Hall.
00:08:44You guys are going to play there for a sold-out audience.
00:08:48Gee whiz!
00:08:50Fantastic!
00:08:51Oh, boy!
00:08:53You want Alvin to do a harmonica solo?
00:09:00Harmonica?
00:09:01But Alvin gave his harmonica.
00:09:03How about that, Alvin?
00:09:05Wonderful, Dave.
00:09:07Alvin's so excited about it, he can't wait.
00:09:11Yeah, now I can't wait until after Christmas to get that harmonica.
00:09:15I've got to make some money before Christmas.
00:09:18Fast!
00:09:20That's the neighbor's dog.
00:09:22Hey, I've got a great idea.
00:09:26Now, here's what I want you guys to do.
00:09:28Go up to the attic, then get the neighbor's dog.
00:09:33Hurry, hurry, get your picture taken with Santa Claus.
00:09:48Only 25 cents.
00:09:51Everybody ready?
00:09:53Camera's ready and all the reindeer are hooked up.
00:09:56Ready, ready.
00:10:00Oh, boy.
00:10:01Okay, bring on the customers.
00:10:24Okay, shoot.
00:10:26Wait a minute, Sonny.
00:10:42Not so fast.
00:10:45What's going on out there?
00:10:51What's all this?
00:10:52We're helping Alvin make money.
00:10:55Alvin!
00:10:56My name's not Alvin.
00:10:58It's Santa.
00:10:59All right, Santa.
00:11:00I'd like a word with you and your elves.
00:11:03I'm sorry.
00:11:04You'll have to wait in line like everybody else.
00:11:07Now, just a minute.
00:11:09And what's your name, little girl?
00:11:11Cindy Lou.
00:11:13What a nice cat you have, Cindy Lou.
00:11:15Cat?
00:11:16Cat!
00:11:17Cat!
00:11:20Oh, no!
00:11:20Oh, no!
00:11:21Oh, no!
00:11:31Alvin!
00:11:32Yes, Dave?
00:11:33You want a word with us?
00:11:39I'd say it's about time we remember how lucky we all are
00:11:44and think about the real meaning of Christmas.
00:11:47You remember that poem I wrote a few years ago?
00:11:50The Spirit of Christmas?
00:11:52Oh, no, Dave.
00:11:54Not that again.
00:11:56Honest, Dave.
00:11:57We remember it very well.
00:11:59We still don't know what to do about Carnegie Hall.
00:12:03Ahem.
00:12:04To get the Christmas spirit means...
00:12:08To give it.
00:12:09Money.
00:12:10We've got to make more money.
00:12:12You don't make a Christmas list.
00:12:15You build it.
00:12:17Maybe somebody will give you some money.
00:12:20It's what you give to others,
00:12:22your sisters and your brothers,
00:12:25and especially...
00:12:27To those you've never met.
00:12:30I've never met anybody that would give me money.
00:12:33Yes, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas time.
00:12:36A giving, giving, giving time.
00:12:40So let's all give a cheer for...
00:12:44Money!
00:12:45Money?
00:12:46And just what is this talk about money?
00:12:49Well, you see, Dave,
00:12:51Alvin's just got to get some money.
00:12:53I see.
00:12:55And just what does Alvin need money for?
00:12:58Uh, for an operation.
00:13:00Well, actually, Dave,
00:13:01Alvin wants to buy a present.
00:13:04Well, that's different.
00:13:05And who is this present for?
00:13:08It's for himself.
00:13:10For himself?
00:13:12So that's what the spirit of Christmas means to you, Alvin?
00:13:15Buying presents for yourself?
00:13:18But...
00:13:19You better go on up to your room
00:13:20and think about the meaning of Christmas.
00:13:22It means a lot more than making money
00:13:24or buying yourself presents.
00:13:27But, Dave...
00:13:29No buts about it.
00:13:31Get in your room.
00:13:32You should have stuck with my line
00:13:35about the operation.
00:13:37Maybe you should have told him about Tommy.
00:13:41Dave, can I talk to you a minute?
00:13:44There's nothing more to say, Alvin.
00:13:46Are you still mad at me, Dave?
00:13:49No.
00:13:50I'm just very disappointed.
00:13:53Good night.
00:13:53How can you play a harmonica at Carnegie Hall
00:14:02if you don't have a harmonica?
00:14:06So I gotta have money, money, money, money, money!
00:14:20Alvin, I'm very disappointed in you.
00:14:25Very disappointed.
00:14:27You've lost the spirit of Christmas.
00:14:30But, Dave, you don't understand.
00:14:36Did someone knock?
00:14:37Is this the loan department?
00:14:40Loan department?
00:14:41Where?
00:14:41Where?
00:14:42Oh, there you are.
00:14:44So you're the loan department?
00:14:46No.
00:14:47I was hoping you were the loan department
00:14:49because I need a loan.
00:14:52Well, of course you're a loan.
00:14:54There's nobody with you.
00:14:55There's so little time and so much to do
00:14:57like filling that empty little heart of yours
00:15:00with the spirit of Christmas.
00:15:02But I haven't lost the Christmas spirit.
00:15:04I...
00:15:05Well, of course you haven't.
00:15:06I haven't finished inventing it yet.
00:15:10Not the wheel, not the Wild West,
00:15:14not even the baby
00:15:15was as difficult to invent
00:15:17as the spirit of Christmas.
00:15:19But I have begun with Santee Claus.
00:15:23That's Santee for Santee and Claus for Claus.
00:15:26Santee Claus.
00:15:28A kind man with a beard and a hat.
00:15:33One look at Santee
00:15:34and you'll be overflowing with Christmas spirit.
00:15:38Voila!
00:15:41That's Santee Claus?
00:15:43If that isn't Santee Claus,
00:15:45I'll eat that cute, chubby little reindeer over there.
00:15:48There's nothing quite like
00:16:02the exhilaration of Discovery.
00:16:05So far, perfect!
00:16:08You don't understand.
00:16:10I haven't lost the Christmas spirit.
00:16:11I need money to buy an echo harmonica.
00:16:15Money?
00:16:16What is money?
00:16:18You buy things with it,
00:16:19like harmonicas.
00:16:21It sounds like a wonderful invention.
00:16:24Yes!
00:16:25I will have to invent money.
00:16:28It will go perfectly
00:16:29with my last invention,
00:16:31the I-O-U.
00:16:37That's ma for ma
00:16:38and annie for annie.
00:16:40Money.
00:16:41Not money!
00:16:42Money!
00:16:43I need money!
00:16:48Money!
00:16:49Money!
00:16:50Maybe I was a little hard on Alvin.
00:16:53I think I'll tell him that I...
00:16:54Money!
00:16:55I need money!
00:16:57I give up.
00:17:02Before you go to the store
00:17:04to buy the harmonica,
00:17:05I'd like to donate this to the cause.
00:17:08A cookie?
00:17:10A cookie?
00:17:11Oh, I forgot.
00:17:12I used up my allowance
00:17:14buying cookies.
00:17:19Here's the money
00:17:20I was saving
00:17:21for a new book.
00:17:23Gee, thanks, fellas.
00:17:25Good luck, Alvin.
00:17:27He doesn't have enough money
00:17:28to buy that harmonica.
00:17:31Okay, fellas,
00:17:32let's get ready for Carnegie Hall.
00:17:34Where's Alvin?
00:17:36Uh, he's not here right now.
00:17:38That's perfect.
00:17:39Two hours before
00:17:41the Christmas Eve concert
00:17:42and...
00:17:43Hello?
00:17:46No, Alvin's not here,
00:17:47Mrs. Waterford.
00:17:49Alvin's harmonica?
00:17:51It worked wonders for Tommy?
00:17:54That's a miracle!
00:17:56Excuse me a minute,
00:17:57Mrs. Waterford.
00:17:58Well, it's about time
00:18:00you guys told me
00:18:01the whole story.
00:18:02Gee, I sure wish I had enough money
00:18:07to buy that harmonica.
00:18:09Pardon me, young man,
00:18:11but I need help.
00:18:12Me?
00:18:13You need my help?
00:18:15I knew it.
00:18:16I just knew that you would understand.
00:18:18But how can I...
00:18:19But how can I...
00:18:21I thought so.
00:18:23I said to myself,
00:18:24now,
00:18:25there's a young man
00:18:26who wouldn't mind
00:18:27if a lonely old lady
00:18:28who is very,
00:18:30very far away from home
00:18:31bought him
00:18:32a Christmas present.
00:18:34A Christmas present?
00:18:36A harmonica.
00:18:37How would you like
00:18:38an echo harmonica?
00:18:40An echo harmonica?
00:18:42But you don't even know me.
00:18:44No fair changing your mind now.
00:18:47You just wait here
00:18:48and I'll be right back.
00:18:52It can't be.
00:18:54I don't believe it.
00:18:56Yes, young man.
00:18:57One golden echo harmonica.
00:19:00I must be dreaming again.
00:19:02Here you are.
00:19:06I wrapped it myself.
00:19:16Oh.
00:19:19No thanks.
00:19:20Now I won't have it.
00:19:22But maybe you'll play
00:19:24something for me.
00:19:32Only infant so tender and mild
00:19:54Sleep in heavenly peace
00:20:00Sleep in heavenly peace
00:20:06Alvin, I owe you an apology.
00:20:09That was a wonderful thing
00:20:10you did for Tommy.
00:20:12That's okay.
00:20:13Where'd she go?
00:20:14Where did who go?
00:20:16I didn't see any.
00:20:17That nice lady
00:20:18who gave me
00:20:18the harmonica for Christmas.
00:20:21She just disappeared.
00:20:23Dave,

00:20:25We don't want to be late
00:20:27for Carnegie Hall.
00:20:27And we have a surprise
00:20:29for you when we get there,
00:20:31Alvin.

00:21:10Tommy! But how did you...
00:21:22Gee, Alvin, your solo was great.
00:21:26This is the surprise I was telling you about, Alvin.
00:21:30You mean that Tommy is all better?
00:21:32He sure is. We all wanted to surprise you.
00:21:36Tommy, got your echo harmonica with you?
00:21:39Sure do.
00:21:40Well, come on. We've got some celebrating to do.
00:21:45Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to meet a very special friend of mine.
00:21:50He's come a long way to help us celebrate the best Christmas Eve ever.

00:22:14La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
00:22:18Friends and love is what we need.
00:22:22La la la, la la la, la la la, but don't forget your gifts for me.
00:22:30La la la, la la, la la la, la la, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
00:22:52Merry Christmas.
00:23:22Merry Christmas and see how the rest of the world lives.
00:23:25Oh, I don't know. Making children happy is your job. I guess I'm just an old homebody.
00:23:33Merry Christmas and see how the rest of the world lives.
00:23:38Shhh.
00:23:39Oh, baby.
00:23:44Merry Christmas and see how the rest of the world lives.
00:23:48Merry Christmas and see how the rest of the world lives.
00:23:52Merry Christmas and see how the rest of the world lives.

00:24:37We're the Chipmunks

00:25:42G-H-I-P-M-U-N-K-G-U-N-K
00:25:45That was nice of Ms. Brown to give you
00:25:49until Christmas Eve to finish your essay
00:25:50Nice?
00:25:52She's making me do homework
00:25:53over Christmas vacation
00:25:55I can't believe it
00:25:58She gave us the assignment
00:26:01three weeks ago, Alvin
00:26:03Three weeks isn't enough time
00:26:05to write an entire page
00:26:06Not when a person's preoccupied
00:26:09about what they want for Christmas
00:26:11Don't teachers understand about kids and Christmas?
00:26:15What about that oath they take to protect and serve?
00:26:19That's policemen, Alvin, not teachers.
00:26:23Wow!
00:26:26Thanks.
00:26:28I'm going to start my Christmas thinking as soon as we get home.
00:26:33I'm going to start working on Dave's present.
00:26:36And I'm going to make a list of everything I want for Christmas.
00:26:41Look nice, don't they, Ebeneezer?
00:26:52I've been thinking maybe I'd call them Buster and Bob.
00:26:59You're right, Ebeneezer.
00:27:02Giving them names would be mighty silly.
00:27:05I guess I was just trying to make it seem a little less lonely around here.
00:27:12And I have to tell Simon and Theodore what I want for Christmas.
00:27:16And Miss Miller and Brittany and...
00:27:20Hey! Watch where you're going!
00:27:24What a grouch!
00:27:25Doesn't that old guy know anything about Christmas spirit?
00:27:28Speaking of old guys, I'd better send a copy of my Christmas list to Uncle Fred.
00:27:34Uncle Fred?
00:27:36What are you going to get Dave?
00:27:38The perfect gift.
00:27:40A picture of me.
00:27:42Oh, why am I not surprised?
00:27:45An automatic sock sorter.
00:27:54Dave's going to love it.
00:27:55Simon!
00:27:57Just a minute, Dave!
00:27:59Simon, have you seen Alvin?
00:28:02Nope. Sorry, Dave. Haven't seen him.
00:28:06Simon, what are you doing in there?
00:28:08Nothing!
00:28:09Nothing!
00:28:09Theodore!
00:28:23You can't! Come in, Dave!
00:28:26Have you seen Alvin?
00:28:28No, Dave. I've been in here all morning.
00:28:33What you baking?
00:28:34Nothing!
00:28:35It doesn't smell like nothing.
00:28:37Believe me, it's nothing.
00:28:40Except your Christmas present.
00:28:45And then I want a Mighty Mike race car set.
00:28:48The one on page 12 of the Acne toy catalog.
00:28:52And then I want...
00:28:54Alvin!
00:28:56Whoa!
00:29:00Every year, Christmas gets a little more dangerous around here.
00:29:05And a bunch of new video games, and...
00:29:09Alvin!
00:29:10What is this?
00:29:12My Christmas list.
00:29:14And skates, and...
00:29:16Alvin, you're late for your paper route.
00:29:19Dave, I can't leave now.
00:29:21I'm only halfway through my list.
00:29:23Alvin!
00:29:24Okay, I'll ask Simon to do it for me.
00:29:28Alvin, it's your paper route.
00:29:31You do it.
00:29:32People are waiting for their papers.
00:29:34But what about me?
00:29:36And what I need?
00:29:37Alvin!
00:29:39Okay, okay.
00:29:40But I'll have to hurry.
00:29:41If I don't finish my list,
00:29:43and get it in the mail by five,
00:29:45Grandma and Grandpa won't have it in time
00:29:47to go shopping for my present.
00:29:49Come back here!
00:30:18Sorry, but I'm in a...
00:30:22Hurry.
00:30:24I want my paper!
00:30:26There, good as new.
00:30:34Nope.
00:30:35I want a dry one.
00:30:37Come on, be a sport.
00:30:39That's my last one.
00:30:41Have that paper here by sundown,
00:30:44or I'm going straight to your father.
00:30:47Oh, no!
00:30:48Look what time it is!
00:30:49Sold out!
00:31:02Got it!
00:31:04Oh, no!
00:31:20It's too late to mail my Christmas list
00:31:23to Grandma and Grandpa!
00:31:26Grandpa and Grandma Saville,
00:31:29two of my major suppliers.
00:31:32Suppliers?
00:31:34Of Christmas presents!
00:31:35Now I'm going to miss out
00:31:37on some really great gifts,
00:31:40and it's all Mr. Carol's fault.
00:31:42Alvin, there's more to Christmas
00:31:44than just getting presents.
00:31:45The holidays are a time of sharing,
00:31:48of giving to others.
00:31:50A time for sharing good food!
00:31:52And good company.
00:31:54Right.
00:31:54Maybe singing some Christmas carols
00:31:57would cheer you up, Alvin.
00:31:58Thanks anyway, Theodore.
00:32:00I think I'll just go upstairs
00:32:02and lie in the dark.
00:32:07Maybe I could call Grandma and Grandpa
00:32:09and give them my list over the phone.
00:32:12Tomorrow's Christmas Eve.
00:32:13They still have time to...
00:32:15Christmas Eve!
00:32:17My essay on the true meaning of Christmas
00:32:20is due tomorrow!
00:32:21The true meaning of Christmas
00:32:30is...
00:32:32is...
00:32:33My mind's a blank.
00:32:46Maybe I'll write about
00:32:48what the true meaning of Christmas isn't.
00:32:50My neighbor, Mr. Carol,
00:32:53doesn't have a clue
00:32:55about the true meaning of Christmas.
00:33:09Hey!
00:33:09What's going on?
00:33:13I'm the spirit of Christmas past!
00:33:17Dave?
00:33:18And I thought I was having a rough night.
00:33:21I've come to show you Christmas
00:33:24as it should be.
00:33:26I knew it wasn't for a fashion show.
00:33:29Alvin!
00:33:30You've got the wrong guy!
00:33:32Mr. Carol's the one
00:33:33who doesn't know what Christmas is about!
00:33:35It's time for us to begin our journey.
00:33:40Look, I'm busy right now.
00:33:42Okay?
00:33:44Alvin!
00:33:44Look down there.
00:33:56Do you recognize that house?
00:33:59Of course I do!
00:34:02This is the house we lived in
00:34:04when we were little!
00:34:05I remember that Christmas.
00:34:10We were so poor,
00:34:11we couldn't afford to get you
00:34:13really great presents.
00:34:15Alvin,
00:34:16that's not true.
00:34:18They were wonderful presents.
00:34:21Look!
00:34:23An eraser,
00:34:25and a pencil,
00:34:26and a piece of paper!
00:34:28These are great!
00:34:31Thanks, fellas!
00:34:33We wanted them to be nicer, Dave,
00:34:35but they're all we could afford.
00:34:38I hope you can use them
00:34:39for, um,
00:34:41well,
00:34:42something.
00:34:43I'm going to use them right now.
00:34:44No.
00:34:56No.
00:34:57No.
00:35:02There!
00:35:05That's it!
00:35:06Christmas,
00:35:13Christmas,
00:35:14Christmas time is near.
00:35:17Time for joy,
00:35:19and time for cheer.
00:35:21We've been good,
00:35:23but we can't last.
00:35:26Hurry,
00:35:27Christmas,
00:35:29hurry,
00:35:30fast.
00:35:31Want a plane
00:35:33that loops
00:35:34the loop?
00:35:36Me,
00:35:37I want
00:35:38a hula hoop.
00:35:41We can hardly
00:35:43stand the ways.
00:35:45Please,
00:35:45Christmas,
00:35:47don't be late.
00:35:49Want a plane
00:36:11that loops
00:36:13the loop?
00:36:14Me,
00:36:15I want

00:36:21stand the ways.
00:36:24Please,
00:36:24Christmas,
00:36:25don't be late.
00:36:29That was a great Christmas.
00:36:31That was the night
00:36:32I wrote
00:36:33the Christmas song.
00:36:36It was inspired
00:36:37by the gifts
00:36:38you boys gave me.
00:36:39But they weren't
00:36:41expensive
00:36:42or fancy.
00:36:43No,
00:36:44but they came
00:36:45right from your hearts.
00:36:47Well,
00:36:49our time here
00:36:51is up.
00:36:52But I don't
00:36:52want to go.
00:36:53They're having
00:36:54so much fun.
00:36:55It's time
00:36:56for the spirit
00:36:57of Christmas present

00:37:41I'm the spirit
00:37:43of Christmas present.
00:37:45I don't deliver
00:37:46Christmas presents.
00:37:48Then what's in the sack?
00:37:50A vision of Christmas
00:37:51as it is today.
00:37:53Take a peek.
00:37:56Merry Christmas,
00:37:57boys.
00:38:00Christmas!
00:38:01Yahoo!
00:38:02Alvin,
00:38:03have you delivered
00:38:04your papers yet?
00:38:05In a minute,
00:38:06Dave.
00:38:06I just want to see
00:38:07how many of these
00:38:09are for me.
00:38:10This one
00:38:11and this one
00:38:12and here's another one
00:38:14and here's one
00:38:15and this one
00:38:16and another one
00:38:23and another one
00:38:25all for me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
00:38:31Wow.
00:38:32Look at all those presents.
00:38:34I'm going to go help me open them.
00:38:36No, no, no.
00:38:38That's against the rule.
00:38:39You can't do that.
00:38:43Hey, what's this?
00:38:45It's that old grouch,
00:38:47Mr. Carol.
00:38:48There you go, Ebenezer.
00:38:50You're right in the spirit of things.
00:38:53Now, close your eyes.
00:38:56I've got a surprise for you.
00:38:59It's time for you
00:39:00to open your present.
00:39:02I'm glad you like it.
00:39:13Don't worry about me, Ebenezer.
00:39:16My present should be waiting for me
00:39:18on the front porch by now.
00:39:21I don't know what I'd do
00:39:22without that newspaper.
00:39:25It's like having a whole bunch of visitors
00:39:27every single day
00:39:29telling me
00:39:30telling me
00:39:30all about their troubles
00:39:32and their joys.
00:39:34The games they've won
00:39:35and the fights they've lost.
00:39:39Yes, sir.
00:39:40That old paper's come to mean the world to me.
00:39:44Oh.
00:39:45Well,
00:39:47I guess it only stands to reason
00:39:49it's Christmas.
00:39:50I expect Alivin's
00:39:53busy with more important things.
00:39:56So that's why Mr. Carol's
00:39:59so fussy about getting his paper.
00:40:01I never thought about a newspaper
00:40:03being somebody's whole world.
00:40:06You and the paper
00:40:07are about the only visitors
00:40:09he ever gets.
00:40:10Gee,
00:40:11I'm starting to see
00:40:12what Dave meant
00:40:13about the importance of giving.
00:40:15Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
00:40:17Here, I don't want to talk
00:40:21about Christmas anymore.
00:40:23Sorry,
00:40:24but you must still be visited
00:40:26by one more spirit.
00:40:36Ta-da!
00:40:37I am the spirit
00:40:39of Christmas yet to come.
00:40:41I'm here to show you
00:40:42visions of your future.
00:40:44Thanks anyway,
00:40:46but I'm busy.
00:40:48I have an essay to write.
00:40:50And if I don't get it finished,
00:40:52I'm gonna flunk English.
00:40:54You've been talking
00:40:54about yourself for hours.
00:40:57You must be exhausted.
00:40:59Allow me to talk
00:41:01about you for a while.
00:41:03To show you
00:41:04the you
00:41:05you may soon become.
00:41:08La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:41:11I did it.
00:41:12I got all my
00:41:14Christmas shopping done.
00:41:15Alvin,
00:41:16are you all right?
00:41:19I'm exhausted.
00:41:20It's a jungle out there.
00:41:22Here,
00:41:23have some eggnog, Alvin.
00:41:25I made it just for you.
00:41:27As a Christmas present.
00:41:29Gee, thanks.
00:41:30Hope you don't mind
00:41:31that I didn't get you a present.
00:41:34But everything I saw
00:41:36was something I wanted.
00:41:38Oh, that's okay, Alvin.
00:41:39The thing I'm looking forward
00:41:41to most
00:41:41is having Christmas dinner
00:41:43with the family.
00:41:44Christmas dinner?
00:41:45How's that coming along?
00:41:47It's all done.
00:41:50We'll eat
00:41:51as soon as Dave and Simon
00:41:53get back from the airport
00:41:54with Grandma and Grandpa
00:41:56Savelle.
00:41:57You did a great job, Theodore.
00:41:59You made all my favorites.
00:42:01Not a pretty picture,
00:42:17is it?
00:42:18Well,
00:42:18it's not like I ate everything.
00:42:21I left a whole bowl
00:42:22of Brussels sprouts.
00:42:24Big deal, Alvin.
00:42:25You hate Brussels sprouts.
00:42:27Okay, okay.
00:42:29So what?
00:42:31This is so what?
00:42:37Theodore!
00:42:39Alvin!
00:42:40Grandma and Grandpa are here!
00:42:43Yee-haw!
00:42:44Grandma!
00:42:45Grandpa!
00:42:48What did you get me?
00:42:50Whoa!
00:42:51Whoa!
00:42:52Whoa!
00:42:55Anyone care for
00:42:56crackers and water?
00:42:59It's all we had left
00:43:00after Alvin finished eating.
00:43:03Every gift under the tree
00:43:05is for me!
00:43:06Yes, Alvin.
00:43:08We knew you'd want it that way.
00:43:11Merry Christmas, Alvin.
00:43:14Yeah, right, Grandma.
00:43:16Wait a minute.
00:43:18When did the doctor say
00:43:20you and Grandpa
00:43:20would be okay?
00:43:22In about three or four months,
00:43:24I think.
00:43:25Doc said we should be
00:43:27good as new
00:43:28by the end of April.
00:43:30Excellent!
00:43:31Expect my list
00:43:32for next Christmas,
00:43:33May 1st.
00:43:34That way,
00:43:35the minute you're well,
00:43:36you can start shopping
00:43:37for me!
00:43:39Whoa!
00:43:41Hey!
00:43:41Me!
00:43:42Me!
00:43:43Me!
00:43:43Me!
00:43:44Me!
00:43:45Me!
00:43:46Me!
00:43:47Me!
00:43:51Is that true?
00:43:53Is that how I'm really
00:43:54going to end up?
00:43:56You got it.
00:43:57I'm doomed!
00:43:58As long as you only
00:44:00think of Christmas
00:44:01as a time to get.
00:44:04I'll change.
00:44:05I promise!
00:44:05From now on,
00:44:07I'll think of Christmas
00:44:08as a time to give.
00:44:10I'll change!
00:44:11I'll change!
00:44:12I promise!
00:44:13I'll change!
00:44:17It's morning already.
00:44:20That means
00:44:21it's Christmas Eve.
00:44:23I've got to finish
00:44:23my essay.

00:44:28by Alvin Seville.
00:44:30Last night,
00:44:31I discovered
00:44:33the truth
00:44:34about Christmas.
00:44:35I verified it
00:44:44with a weather service.
00:44:45It's never snowed
00:44:46here before.
00:44:48It's a Christmas

00:45:17And happiness?
00:45:17presents and sweets,
00:45:34decorations and treats,
00:45:35and a star on top of a tree.

00:47:44We're the Chipmunks, guarantee to ride through your day
00:47:50When you feel like a laugh, give us a call, we'll give you our all and dare
00:47:56You feel like a song, tune in to earth and sing right along
00:48:01We're the Chipmunks, kind of stronger than ever before
00:48:07We're the Chipmunks, Albert Simon, we adore
00:48:13I can't believe Dave's car stalled right in front of our school yesterday
00:48:31It was humiliating
00:48:32Well, I'd rather crawl to school
00:48:35Shh, it's Dave
00:48:43Come on, guys, let's go
00:48:45How's the song, Dave?
00:48:47Well, it's finally finished and I've sent everything over to Cy
00:48:50Now let's hurry up or you'll be late for school
00:48:52I'll get the car
00:48:53Oh, I'm too sick for school, Dave
00:48:59Oh
00:49:00Oh, why, I'm burning up with fever
00:49:05Darn, I guess I won't be able to go to school today
00:49:08Yeah, I don't want to go in Dave's car either
00:49:12Hey, Dave, we'll just take our bikes
00:49:22It's too late, Alvin, you wouldn't get there on time
00:49:25Oh
00:49:27Come on, fellas, help me push
00:49:32Oh
00:49:33Merrily
00:49:39She'll see me
00:49:41Hi, Theodore
00:49:43Have you seen Alvin?
00:49:47Oh, hi, Merrily
00:49:49I can't talk now
00:49:50I'm just having my morning workout
00:49:53Pushing cars is the latest craze
00:49:55Really pumps up the old muscles
00:50:00I got the big soccer game tomorrow, you know
00:50:02Everybody in
00:50:04See you later
00:50:11Bye
00:50:12I can't wait for the big game
00:50:20Even though we have to drive in Dave's car
00:50:23Come on, you guys
00:50:24What are we gonna do?
00:50:26Beat him! Beat him! Beat him!
00:50:30Where's our secret weapon?
00:50:32Dave!
00:50:34Really?
00:50:35They didn't like any of my songs?
00:50:38Well, I'm just going through a little dry spell
00:50:41Uh, yeah
00:50:43Okay
00:50:44What's our mission, Dave?
00:50:46Dave?
00:50:48Huh?
00:50:49Oh, yeah
00:50:50Beat him
00:50:51Beat him
00:50:52You don't sound too sure about that, Dave
00:50:55Have you seen my soccer shoes?
00:50:57You're wearing them
00:50:58Ouch
00:50:59I guess I'm a little nervous
00:51:02I've never played soccer before
00:51:04Nothing to it, Dave
00:51:06Just use your head
00:51:07And your feet
00:51:11We'd better get going
00:51:13We don't want to be late for our victory
00:51:15Yeah!
00:51:16We're gonna beat him!
00:51:17Beat him!
00:51:18Beat him!
00:51:20Go and load the car up, fellas
00:51:21I'll be right there
00:51:23Oh, hi, Ralphie
00:51:25How much?
00:51:27But the whole car isn't even worth that
00:51:29I just can't afford to bring it in right now
00:51:32Maybe next month
00:51:34Uh, thanks anyway, Ralphie
00:51:36Dave!
00:51:38Uh, coming!
00:51:39Uh, beat him
00:51:40Uh, beat him
00:51:42The score is tied 2-2
00:51:45With 30 seconds left to play
00:51:46What a cliffhanger!
00:51:51Speedy Saville steals it
00:51:52He passes it to
00:51:54Chubby Saville
00:51:55Who bounces it to Brainy Saville
00:51:57Over to Big Saville
00:51:59Go, Dave!
00:52:01You got it!
00:52:02He's heading for the goal
00:52:05He may score!
00:52:07Go, Dave!
00:52:08Go!
00:52:12Whoa!
00:52:13Oh, my!
00:52:15Armstrong steals the ball
00:52:17And scores the winning goal!
00:52:21Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:52:23We won, Dad!
00:52:24We won!
00:52:25Great play!
00:52:27Thanks, son
00:52:28Are you okay, Dave?
00:52:30Yeah, sure
00:52:32Just a little embarrassed
00:52:34A little embarrassed?
00:52:37I'm humiliated!
00:52:38Uh, I didn't even see what happened
00:52:40Count your blessings, Dave
00:52:42Timmy's dad scored the winning goal
00:52:45Oh, I guess I kind of blew it, huh?
00:52:49Don't worry about it, Dave
00:52:50It's only a game
00:52:51Yeah, Timmy will only be bragging about how his dad won the game for the next 50 years
00:52:57But we'll get over it
00:52:58Someday
00:52:59Hey, come on!
00:53:01I'll treat you all to a fruit smoothie
00:53:03Good game, Dave!
00:53:05You almost had us there!
00:53:07Yeah, almost
00:53:08Well, hopefully your business is going better than your soccer game
00:53:12Well, actually
00:53:14Yeah, we're in a real boom right now ourselves, Dave
00:53:18I'm making more money than I can spend
00:53:20Well, uh...
00:53:23You too, huh?
00:53:24Hey, glad to hear it
00:53:25Ugh!
00:53:26Wow!
00:53:27Look at that car!
00:53:29It's a Lamberari X-12
00:53:31The finest roadster ever built
00:53:35Yeah, and it's all ours
00:53:37Isn't it great, Dave?
00:53:39Yeah, it's...
00:53:41It's beautiful
00:53:42Well, we better get going, fellas
00:53:45We don't want to keep those fruit smoothies waiting
00:53:48Oh
00:53:49So long!
00:53:53What a beautiful car
00:53:55Oh
00:53:58I hope no one sees us
00:54:00This is incredibly embarrassing
00:54:04Hey, Seville, you need some help?
00:54:06No, no
00:54:07It's probably just upset because it didn't get to play in the game
00:54:11It doesn't know how lucky it was
00:54:13I'll be happy to take the boys home for you, Dave
00:54:16Hooray!
00:54:18But, fellas
00:54:19What about our fruit smoothies?
00:54:22That's okay, Dave
00:54:23Oh, brother
00:54:34What a great day
00:54:37Dave, you're back
00:54:40Timmy's car is like driving on air
00:54:42And guess what?
00:54:44Mr. Armstrong said he could drive us to Camp Happy Trails
00:54:49Oh, well, that's nice, but...
00:54:52It's okay, Dave
00:54:52You can drive us if you want
00:54:54We don't mind
00:54:55It's not that, Simon, it's...
00:54:57Which reminds me, Dave
00:54:59Did you send in the papers?
00:55:00We want to make sure Camp Happy Trails knows we're coming
00:55:03Well, I...
00:55:04I can't wait to go
00:55:06The Happy Trails truck wagon is practically world famous
00:55:11Wait a minute, fellas
00:55:13I don't know how to say this, but...
00:55:16I'm afraid I can't afford to send you this year
00:55:19Are you kidding?
00:55:21But, Dave
00:55:22We've been waiting for Camp Happy Trails all year
00:55:25And we did all those extra chores
00:55:28I know, but I expected at least one of my songs to be accepted
00:55:32This isn't happening to me
00:55:35I'm really sorry, fellas
00:55:37I don't believe it
00:55:39It's okay, Dave
00:55:40We understand
00:55:42There's always next year
00:55:44Right, Alvin?
00:55:45But you promised
00:55:46Alvin
00:55:47What?
00:55:48My whole summer is ruined
00:55:50Probably my whole life
00:55:51The Chuck Wagon isn't that great
00:55:58We understand, Dave
00:56:01Really, we do
00:56:02No Camp Happy Trails this year
00:56:09I still can't believe it
00:56:12Alvin
00:56:12No one feels worse about this than Dave
00:56:15Wanna bet?
00:56:16He didn't know that those songs wouldn't sell
00:56:18He's just in a slump
00:56:20What if he doesn't come out of it?
00:56:22We'll have to sell the house
00:56:23Maybe we could live at Timmy's
00:56:25He's got lots of room
00:56:27Dave's too proud for that
00:56:29He wasn't too proud at the soccer game
00:56:31Alvin, come on
00:56:33This is the worst day of my life
00:56:36Oh
00:56:37I embarrass them
00:56:40I ruin their summer
00:56:41I can't write a hit song
00:56:43I can't even afford to get my car fixed
00:56:45Maybe they'd be better off without me
00:56:48You're entering another dimension
00:56:56Huh?
00:56:57One of sight, sound, and of mind
00:57:00So, you think we'd be better off if you never existed
00:57:03Simon?
00:57:06Sort of
00:57:06Dave, this is making me dizzy
00:57:09Dave, can you adjust this thing?
00:57:13Hey, that tickles
00:57:17Seriously, Dave
00:57:19We need to talk about you never existing
00:57:21Let's see if I would have been better off without you
00:57:24Submitted for your approval
00:57:27The No Dave Zone
00:57:29Let's travel back in time
00:57:40To an important moment
00:57:41In my formative youth
00:57:43Remember the big school spelling bee
00:57:46A few years ago?
00:57:48Sure
00:57:48And I was so nervous
00:57:50I couldn't spell anything right
00:57:52Spell principal
00:57:54As in the head of a school
00:57:56Principal
00:57:57P-R-I-N-C-I-P-L-E
00:58:04No, that's the other type of principal
00:58:07Just remember this little trick
00:58:09The principal at school is your pal
00:58:12P-R-I-N-C-I-P-A-L
00:58:16Great!
00:58:17Principal
00:58:18P-R-I-N-C-I-P-A-L
00:58:23You look awfully tired, Simon
00:58:25Are you sure you want to keep going?
00:58:27Absolutely
00:58:28The spelling bee's tomorrow
00:58:30Give me another one
00:58:31Alright
00:58:32Spell Mississippi
00:58:34Mississippi
00:58:35M-I-S-I-P... I never get that one right.
00:58:43Here's a little rhyme that used to help me out.
00:58:46M-I-S-S-I-S-I-P-I
00:58:50M-I-S-S-I-S-I-P-I
00:58:58You've got it!
00:59:00M-I-S-S-I-S-I-P-I
00:59:03M-I-S-S-I-S-I-S-I-P-I
00:59:06After your help, Dave, I felt ready for that spelling bee.
00:59:11All right, number nine.
00:59:15For your last word, please spell the word guide.
00:59:19Uh, uh, guide.
00:59:22G-I-D-E
00:59:26Guide.
00:59:27I'm sorry, that's incorrect.
00:59:31Number ten.
00:59:33For your last word, please spell the word Mississippi.
00:59:42Mississippi.
00:59:43M-I-S-S-I-S-I-S-I-P-I
00:59:48Mississippi.
00:59:49Correct!
00:59:50Yay!
00:59:51Number ten, Simon Seville.
00:59:53Yay, Simon!
00:59:54Simon!
00:59:57You see, everyone treated me like I was smart, so I believed I was smart.
01:00:02Uh, but you were, uh, are.
01:00:05Well, it never happened that way.
01:00:07Uh, what do you mean?
01:00:08You weren't there to help me learn, to give me confidence.
01:00:12I was on my own.
01:00:14And not doing well.
01:00:16Mississippi.
01:00:17Uh, M-I-S-A-S-I-P-I.
01:00:25Wrong.
01:00:27I haven't gotten one word all night.
01:00:29I'm just not smart enough.
01:00:33When the spelling bee came around, I was a nervous wreck.
01:00:38All right, number nine.
01:00:40For your last word, please spell the word guide.
01:00:44Uh, uh, G-I-D-E, guide.
01:00:52I'm sorry, that's incorrect.
01:00:55Number ten, for your last word, please spell the word Mississippi.
01:01:01Oh.
01:01:04Mississippi.
01:01:06M-I-S-A-S-I-P-I.
01:01:11Mississippi.
01:01:12I'm sorry, that's incorrect.
01:01:16I was humiliated.
01:01:17I lost all self-confidence that day.
01:01:21Boy, is he dumb.
01:01:26By the age of 40, I was still in kindergarten.
01:01:30But I don't get it.
01:01:32You were always so smart.
01:01:34Not without your help.
01:01:36Hey, where are you going?
01:01:38Back to school.
01:01:39I never did learn how to spell Mississippi.
01:01:42Hey, Dave.
01:01:46Theodore?
01:01:47Uh, sort of.
01:01:49So, you think I'd be better off if you never existed, huh?
01:01:53Well, I...
01:01:54Come on.
01:01:55Did you say that or didn't you?
01:01:58Yeah, I guess I did, but...
01:02:00Well, let's take a peek.
01:02:03Hey, I'm floating.
01:02:06Remember the time I ran for kindergarten president and nobody voted for me?
01:02:11Sure I do.
01:02:12I felt so alone.
01:02:14I didn't know what to do.
01:02:21Oh.
01:02:22Theodore, what's wrong?
01:02:24Nothing.
01:02:26I know something's wrong, Theodore.
01:02:27You didn't eat your dinner.
01:02:29They don't want me to be kindergarten class president.
01:02:33I didn't even get nominated.
01:02:36Nobody likes me.
01:02:38Well, that doesn't mean nobody likes you.
01:02:41What did you do to get the nomination?
01:02:45Nothing.
01:02:46Did you talk to anyone?
01:02:49No.
01:02:50Why not?
01:02:51I'm too shy.
01:02:54What if they don't like me?
01:02:55You're a very likable person, Theodore.
01:02:59But if you don't introduce yourself, people won't know just how nice you are.
01:03:03You think so?
01:03:05Absolutely.
01:03:07But remember, you have to go out and meet people and talk to them.
01:03:10Give them a chance to get to know you.
01:03:12I'll do it.
01:03:13I'll go right out and meet and talk to a bunch of people and make friends.
01:03:19That's the spirit.
01:03:21But first, I think I'll eat dinner.
01:03:24Because of you, Dave, I learned I had to earn friendships.
01:03:28And with you believing in me, I believed in me, too.
01:03:32Pretty soon, I had friends all around the world.
01:03:35I'd like to introduce the person voted most popular, Theodore Saville.
01:03:43Too bad it never happened that way, Dave.
01:03:46What do you mean?
01:03:48Did you forget already?
01:03:50You thought we'd be better off if you never existed.
01:03:53Without you to give me such great advice and encouragement,
01:03:58I moved to a desert island and became a hermit.
01:04:01You what?
01:04:02I never learned how to get along with people.
01:04:09They didn't like me, and I didn't like them.
01:04:12No, it can't be.
01:04:15I'm afraid it is, Dave.
01:04:22Theodore, Simon, what's happening?
01:04:24What a nightmare.
01:04:26You're not dreaming, Dave.
01:04:30Alvin?
01:04:31So, you think we'd have been better off if you never existed.
01:04:35Well, I...
01:04:36Come with me.
01:04:42Dave, how can I show you the effects of your wish if you won't cooperate?
01:04:47All right, Dave, have it your way.
01:04:57Alvin!
01:05:00Now then, remember that lemonade stand I had when I was a kid?
01:05:03Alvin, this is not funny.
01:05:05That was a big turning point in my life, Dave.
01:05:09Remember what happened?
01:05:15Hey, how's business, Alvin?
01:05:17Not very good, Dave.
01:05:19Nobody wants to buy my lemonade.
01:05:21But you've only got one glass left.
01:05:23I only made one glass.
01:05:25If I made ten glasses and nobody bought them,
01:05:28I'd have to drink them all myself.
01:05:30You need a positive attitude to succeed, Alvin.
01:05:33But nobody even bought this glass.
01:05:35Come over here.
01:05:38Tell me what you see.
01:05:39A lemonade stand.
01:05:41How do you know it's a lemonade stand?
01:05:43There's no sign.
01:05:44If you want to sell lots of lemonade, you have to advertise.
01:05:48Right.
01:05:49I'll call it the lemonade stand of the stars.
01:05:52Hey, that's pretty catchy.
01:05:54Come on, I'll help you make the sign.
01:05:56And I'll make some more lemonade.
01:05:58Get your ice-cold lemonade at the lemonade stand of the stars.
01:06:04Here you go.
01:06:05Take a number.
01:06:06No need to push.
01:06:07Plenty for everyone.
01:06:09The lemonade stand of the stars.
01:06:11Everybody loved it.
01:06:12But that's not the way it happened, Dave.
01:06:14Without you there to help me, my lemonade stand was a failure.
01:06:17And without that first success, I thought I was a failure.
01:06:21And that's exactly what I became.
01:06:26Seville!
01:06:27Did you finish that filing I gave you?
01:06:31Yes, sir.
01:06:31I did.
01:06:32Then how come I couldn't find my sales report?
01:06:36Well, I...
01:06:37You filed it wrong.
01:06:40Here!
01:06:41Yes, I must have filed them wrong.
01:06:43I'm just no good, sir.
01:06:45Get with it, Seville.
01:06:46Or find yourself another job.
01:06:49Yes, sir.
01:06:50Whatever you say, sir.
01:06:52Alvin, that's not like you.
01:06:54Without your help, Dave, I never learned that I could be a success.
01:06:58So there I am.
01:06:59No confidence.
01:07:00No opinion.
01:07:02No future.
01:07:03Just because I wasn't there?
01:07:05I was at the crossroads of life, Dave.
01:07:07And without you, I took a wrong turn.
01:07:10Ha ha ha ha!
01:07:11And you thought the chipmunks would be better off if you never existed.
01:07:14Never existed!
01:07:16Never existed!
01:07:17Never existed!
01:07:17Never existed.
01:07:21Never existed.
01:07:23Am I...
01:07:24I do exist!
01:07:27The boys!
01:07:33Simon!
01:07:34Theodore!
01:07:34Alvin!
01:07:35You're all right!
01:07:37Uh-huh.
01:07:38What's going on, Dave?
01:07:40I just wanted to see if you guys were okay.
01:07:43Yeah, Dave.
01:07:44We're fine.
01:07:44Fellas, I'm sorry for losing the soccer game and embarrassing you and wrecking your summer.
01:07:50We don't care about those things, Dave.
01:07:52Not more than we care about you.
01:07:55Yeah, you're the best dad in the whole world.
01:07:58I'm the richest man in the world.
01:08:00Hey, that gives me an idea for a new song.
01:08:03A really great new song!
01:08:06A really great new song?
01:08:08I haven't seen Dave this excited about a new song in a long time.
01:08:12Camp Happy Trails, here we come!
01:08:14Come on!
01:08:16Come on!
01:08:26Sometimes the glowing gets rough
01:08:28And it seems that dreams aren't enough
01:08:33But there's somebody there to see us who
01:08:39And we're so glad it's you
01:08:42When nothing goes like we planned
01:08:47And our problems get all out of hand
01:08:53There's someone who knows just what to do
01:08:57And we're so glad it's you
01:09:01Without you, we'd never have tried
01:09:08Reaching farther than we could see
01:09:12And you taught us how to do our best
01:09:17And be all we could be
01:09:23We don't always show that we care
01:09:28But you know we'll always be best
01:09:34And for who we love best
01:09:36We'll tell you true
01:09:38We're so glad
01:09:42We're so glad
01:09:46With you
01:09:47You're the greatest, Dave!
01:09:51I love you boys, too
01:10:08You're the greatest, Dave!
01:10:09You're the greatest, Dave!
01:10:10You're the greatest, Dave!
01:10:11You're the greatest, Dave!
