Alvin, I see you got here early and you're rehearsing the band. That's very good. You know I would-...What's that great big expensive orchestra waiting for over there? Oh, boy, I'm sure glad they don't belong to-....Alvin, Alvin, say something, Alvin
[ALVIN]
(spoken)
Everybody ready? Violins, saxophones, trumpets?
[DAVE]
(spoken)
You mean you hired all those musicians?
[ALVIN]
(spoken)
You bet, I did
[DAVE]
(spoken)
You know how much a fifty piece orchestra costs?!
[ALVIN]
(spoken)
Ready, boys?!
[DAVE]
(spoken)
Wait a minute, you don't need a fifty piece orchestra to play for-
(orchestra begins)
[CHIPMUNKS]
Oh, how we love to go for a ride
And see the country far and wide
Look at the snow and the frost
[DAVE]
(spoken)
Will you wait?
[CHIPMUNKS]
We roll the windows up and down
And toot the horn in every town
[ALVIN]
Who cares what the orchestra costs?
[DAVE]
(spoken)
I'll tell you who!
[CHIPMUNKS]
We're happy while we're rolling along
We're singing every goofy song
Boy, what a joy, what fun
Children waving you a big hello
[ALVIN]
Why, you've got friends
You didn't even know
[CHIPMUNKS]
How we love to go for a ride
And see the country far and wide
It's great when you're on the go
[ALVIN]
(spoken)
Let's go!
[DAVE]
(spoken)
Alvin, put that baton down and listen to me. You just cannot go around-.Listen, fifty musicians costs over...;et me see, two thousand times fifty-...Do you realize-?! Alvin, stop leading that expensive orchestra and come over here!
[CHIPMUNKS]
Children waving you a big hello
[ALVIN]
And he's still worrying about the dough
[CHIPMUNKS]
How we love to go for a ride
And see the country far and wide
It's great when you're on the go
[DAVE]
(spoken)
Alvin, will you cut it out?! What do you think we're
Gonna pay this orchestra with chestnuts?! Now listen to-
[ALVIN]
(spoken)
Slow down, buddy
I absolutely cannot understand
A single word you're saying
[DAVE]
(spoken)
You can't understand a word I'm saying?! You can't understand a word I'm saying!!!!????? Simon, Theodore, will you cut out that
Wah, wah, wah and listen to me!!! Orchestra, will you please go home????!!!!!!!! Alvin, stop leading that orchestra!!! Alvin!! Alvin!!!!
