Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman (2000) Movie Script
1
It was Wolfman.
I'm nuts.
I knew it.
Two more Wolfman nightmares.
And Theodore owes
me... a new Bunsen burner.
Wait a minute, guys.
Let's stay up a while and play.
Alvin, it's late.
Okay, I admit it.
I'm freaked out.
It's our new neighbor.
Mr. Talbot?
Exactly.
His dog was howling again.
That always spooks me.
Face it, Alvin.
It's because you watch monster movies late
at night.
Dave, has anyone talked to you about your
dandruff?
I mean it, Alvin.
This is getting way out of hand.
Now, back to sleep, everybody.
You've got school tomorrow.
Oh, yeah.
School.
How am I ever going to get to sleep?
Here, Alvin.
You can sleep with my bunny.
Oh, please.
What do you take me for?
Oh.
Oh.
Wait!
Wake up, Alvin.
Hey, how's the rehearsal coming on the
school play?
What?
Oh, fine.
Dave, I don't feel so good.
I think I've got a fever.
Nice try, Theodore.
Next time, wipe off the oatmeal.
Oh, okay.
Whoa!
Time to go, guys.
Come on.
Here are your lunches.
No tomatoes, right?
Nope.
No tomatoes.
And no avocados.
Right, Dave?
As requested.
Since when don't you like avocados?
Since Nathan's been stealing my lunch.
He hates avocados.
Oh.
Silly me.
You wouldn't want to offend your attacker.
Have a good day, fellas.
Fat chance.
We're going to school.
There's something creepy about that Mr.
Talbot.
I'm sure he says the same thing about you.
No one must learn my horrible secret.
That I, kind, beloved,
Dr. Henry Jekyll, has perfected a
formula which can turn me
into the evil, cruel, Mr. Hyde!
Now.
cut, cut, cut, cut!
Relax, Alvin.
It's all just colored water.
Hmm.
Except for the pink stuff from your
thermos.
Heck, I.
just got it back from lost and found.
Oops.
Alvin, Alvin, please!
The cardinal rule of
the theater is... Anyone?
Hello?
Huh?
Well, then let me tell you!
Always remain in character, okay?
Even when drinking old pink stuff from
your lunchbox!
Yeah, but that stuff... Now
remember, you are an... actor!
Okay.
Now we're gonna take it again,
right?
From the top!
And, Theodore, Teddy, darling,
remember, there are no small parts, okay?
But you must commit child!
Be proud of your Thunder Man!
Let it roar!
Remember what I said, Theodore.
You hurt my ears with that thunder,
and I'm gonna hurt you next time.
Oh.
And from now on, more mayonnaise on my
sandwich.
Oh!
Sorry, Eleanor.
Theodore, don't let Nathan bully you.
It's not like I give him permission.
Ha-ha.
Ow!
Ha!
Ha-ha-ha.
Hello?
What's that supposed to be?
Your, uh, costume.
Oh, no, no, no.
You are so off.
I'm supposed to be a girl named Willa who
cries a lot.
No, uh-uh.
You're a weeping Willow, Britney.
Are you saying I am a tree?
I'm afraid so, Britney.
No!
No!
No!
Oh, Mr. Rochelle!
I've got an idea!
What if, when I'm mixing the potions,
instead of using this stuff, I use these?
It's an official Madame Raya mad scientist
set.
I got it through the mail.
Pretty cool, huh?
Yes.
Yes, cool.
Alvin, answer me this, will you?
Will using these test tubes allow you
to...
to reach deep inside
yourself and find the
humanity within the
mad chipmunk scientist?
I don't know.
But it'll be a lot scarier.
Trust me.
Wait!
You shouldn't mix unknown chemicals.
Excuse me.
But who's the mad scientist around here?
But...
Look out!
That looks like it's coming from the
school.
Oh.
Please don't ring.
Don't ring.
Don't.
Hello?
Principal Milliken.
How nice to hear
you're... It's been what?
Five days since your
last... Was it only yesterday?
Time sure flies when...
Well, of course I'll come right over.
Oh.
Miss Milliken, I am really sorry about
what happened today.
I'm sure it was just an accident.
But if there's anything Alvin or
I can do... Don't worry about it.
The school board passed
a special bond issue
last year just to cover
damages caused by Alvin.
Besides, I'm about to take early
retirement.
Ooh, lucky me!
Alvin will be somebody else's problem.
You're retiring?
Why, you don't look a day over 50.
I'm 31!
Oh.
This is what having Alvin for a student
has done to me.
However, now that you're here,
it's Theodore I'm worried about.
Theodore?
Come with me.
Huh?
Uh-huh.
Cut it out, Nathan!
Let's go!
Hey, hey, hey!
I don't blame you, but Theodore's got to
learn to fight his own battles.
So that's why he doesn't want to come to
school.
Nathan's a bully.
But Theodore won't come to me and
complain, so there's not much I can do.
Careful.
Heh.
You okay, Theodore?
Yeah.
Thanks, Alvin.
Hmm... I will say this for Alvin...
He sticks up for his little brother.
It kinda makes it easier to forgive him
for blowing up the auditorium, doesn't it?
No.
I just feel so sorry for Nathan.
Because I know that he's out there,
and he's just never gonna let us win.
He must come from a very unloving family.
You know, I don't care if he comes from a
pack of angry wolves.
Wolves?
Oh, but Britney... Oh, please.
This compassion you feel for all mankind
is sickening, Jeanette.
I wonder why Nathan picks on you so much,
Theodore.
Beats me.
Maybe he just doesn't like me.
Did you guys hear that?
Hear what?
Someone's behind us.
So what?
It's a public sidewalk.
Maybe it's Nathan.
I don't hear anything.
Alvin, it was just your imagination.
Maybe.
And maybe not.
Gee, it seems a little dark tonight,
doesn't it?
Oh.
It's probably just the fog.
I hate fog.
It's merely condensed water vapor
suspended...
Unlike I care.
It's creepy and it makes my...
It sounded like breathing.
What's that?
Alvin, there's nothing.
Monster!
Hey, guys.
Just in time for... Quiet.
It's out there.
What's out there?
Something big and hairy and hungry.
Like that scene from Invasions of the Pet
People.
Alvin, let go.
I... Can.
I help you?
Mr. Seville, my name is Talbot.
Lawrence Talbot.
I'm your new neighbor.
Mr. Talbot, it's a pleasure to meet you.
Won't you come in?
No, thank you.
Your kids just trampled
all over an irreplaceable
specimen of aconitum
planted in my flower bed.
I'm so sorry.
If there's anything we can possibly do to
make it up...
You can stay away from me and stay off my
property.
Mr. Talbot, there's no need to shout.
The boys were scared by
something they saw, and it... What?
What did they see?
Nothing, really.
Mr. Talbot, are you sure you're all right?
Uh, I'm... I'm sorry.
It's just that the plant was very dear to
me, and...
Someone in this house wakes me up with
their screaming every night.
That's Alvin.
He says your dog wakes him up with a
toweling.
I don't own a dog.
Then what are you doing with all those
bones?
How did you know I had bones?
I didn't, until just now.
Alvin, please.
I'm so sorry, Mr. Talbot.
I have to go.
Please excuse my behavior tonight.
I'm not myself.
Of course.
And please, if...
Your lasagna's burning.
Oh, no.
Dinner.
Good night.
Ahem.
I'm telling you, that guy creeps me out.
How'd he know I was making lasagna?
Well, biddy-bye time.
Alvin!
We need to talk.
You guys want to wait in the den?
Oh.
Do we have a choice?
Nope.
Then we'd love to.
Hello?
David!
Calm down, Miss Miller.
What's wrong with the girls?
Alvin!
Come on.
I've got the remote here.
Oh.
Hey!
Haha!
Yourself!
We'll get back to the wall edge in just a
moment.
Oh, I can't wait to see if the mummy makes
the football team.
Aren't you afraid this'll rot your brain?
Too late.
In addition to being a
fine example of cinematic
art, today's film makes
an important point.
Monsters can pop up anywhere.
College.
The supermarket.
Even your own home.
She's right.
That is why you need Madame Reyes' Monster
Book of Monster Facts.
For only $30.95, you can learn all there
is to know about monsters.
So you can protect yourself.
For instance, did you know that werewolves
are allergic to spandex?
Maybe that's why you've never seen your
mailman wearing bike shorts.
Ha!
Haha!
Bike shorts!
The old lady across the street.
Really dry skin?
Or a mummy?
Now you can tell the difference.
This may be the most important book you
ever buy.
Because I'm telling you.
Monsters are everywhere.
Everywhere.
Everywhere.
Plus, if you order now, I will include
this amulet.
Doesn't do anything, but I got a real good
deal on them from my cousin.
Ooh.
That's pretty.
Just $18.95.
Order today before my overinsured
warehouse has a mysterious fire.
Ooh.
$1.800.
For real.
You must be 18 to call.
But don't worry about it.
We don't ask.
That's $1.800.
Huh?
Hey.
Simon.
That's enough of that.
Oh, yeah?
Don't you get it?
She's right.
There's a monster on our own block.
Oh, please.
Clean your glasses, pal.
Footsteps in the fog.
Howling at night.
Oh, there's a monster around here,
all right.
And you know who I think it is?
Uh-uh.
Mr. Talbot.
Oh, Alvin.
Why don't you guys believe me?
Behold.
What's that?
Mrs. Johnson.
Mr. Haskell.
The milkman.
Father O'Malley.
The lunch lady.
The paper boy.
The... Enough already.
I'm sorry.
Who are these people?
Just a few of the hundreds you've accused
of being a werewolf, mummy, vampire,
or she-wolf.
Just about everyone in town is in here,
Alvin.
Except... Dave.
Dave.
Of course.
No.
I... Dave?
Alvin.
That was Miss Miller.
She has a house full of screaming
Chipettes.
Would you like to tell me why?
Who's in the mood for lasagna?
This monster-mania of yours has gotten
completely out of control.
As of now, your monster days are over.
What?
No movies.
No models.
No Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
You're going cold Turkey.
No!
Sorry.
Sorry, Mr. Rochelle, but Mr. Seville and I
agree that it's for Alvin's own good!
But what about the good of the play?
I mean, Alvin knows Mr. Hyde.
Alvin lives, Mr. Hyde.
Alvin is Mr. Hyde.
Yes, well, that's the whole problem.
Mr. Rochelle, I could do it.
Why, thank you, Nathan.
Miss Milligan, please tell me you have
someone else in mind.
As a matter of fact, yes.
Someone whose self-esteem could use a
little boost.
Bless the Lord with all your heart.
Theodore.
Okay, good.
Um, Theodore, I am going to make you a
star!
Sure you can, Theodore.
I'll help you.
We all will.
But look at all these lines!
That's why Mr. Rochelle is having me play
Dr. Jekyll and you the evil Mr. Hyde.
Uh, Dave, do you...
Well, maybe this will help you get in
touch with that part of yourself.
Come on, Theodore, it'll be easier.
And you're sure Alvin's okay with this?
Let's just say he's doing as well as can
be expected.
All alone.
No friends.
No family.
No monsters.
The walls are closing in on me.
I can't breathe.
I can't.
survive!
Cool.
A candy mint.
Bye, Theodore.
Bye, Eleanor.
Here you go, son.
Thank you.
That's for me.
I'll take it.
Well, it's not monster stuff, is it,
Theodore?
That really hurts.
That book, How to Find
Happiness in a Monster-Free
World, is an important
part of my therapy.
Oh!
Well, okay.
Hook it on, pal.
Time's a-wastin'.
Come to papa.
Ow!
Hey!
This?
Monster check?
Oh, well, that is just fine.
I'm on a monster-free diet, and you have
the nerve!
Spread them!
Hey!
Aren't I entitled to a phone call?
Hmm.
My, my.
I can explain.
Of course you can.
You've left me nothing!
Take off the shoes.
Oh, here.
You forgot a piece of my heart!
Hey!
Uh-huh.
Shh!
Simon!
It's me, Alvin!
Glad to meet you.
Now, may I go back to sleep?
Simon!
Our dear Mr. Talbot is a werewolf!
And I'm not gonna rest till I prove it!
And apparently, neither am I.
Are you in or in?
Given those choices, I'm in.
But on one condition.
If we prove he's not a werewolf,
you give up this whole monster craziness.
Hmm.
Deal.
There's something wicked out there.
We feel it in the air.
It whispers, come and find me if you dare.
We'll keep on searchin'.
Monks on a mission.
Whether by day or moon.
We'll keep on work.
We know we're getting closer.
On searchin'.
Monks on a...
We're monks on a moon.
Monks on a mission.
Simon, it all fits together.
Listen to this.
Even a man who is pure at heart and says
his prayers by night may become a wolf
when the wolfbane blooms and the Autumn
moon is bright.
Your point.
All right.
Let me spell it out for you.
What is it Mr. Talbot has planted in his
hedge and flower beds?
Is that your toughest question?
Specimens of aconitum, of course.
Otherwise known as
monkshood or... Go on.
Say it.
Say it.
Wolfsbane.
Which, as anyone knows, keeps werewolves
away.
Hey fellas, have you guys seen...
Hey, what are you guys up to?
Oh, nothing much.
Just going for a world's record.
Um, yes, that's right.
It's the most consecutive tic-tac-toe
games ending in a draw.
Oh, well, um... Listen,
have you seen Theodore?
Yeah, I think he was in the backyard.
Oh.
Ow!
Thanks.
When we find my glasses, remind me to kill
you.
That's right, my dear.
It is I, Edward High.
Gaze well upon my face.
For it is the face of...
Gaze well upon my face.
For it is the face of...
Gaze well upon my face.
For it is the face of evil.
Theodore.
Are you okay?
Look.
Look,
it's right here.
It says, Many werewolves carry symbols of
wolves.
Do you remember Mr. Talbot's cane?
The one with the wolf's head?
Yes, I do.
He might even have wolf baseball caps,
and little ceramic wolf figurines,
and souvenir wolf jelly jars.
Oh, I'm happy you're amused.
The handle is made of silver.
Why?
Because silver kills werewolves.
What's your theory?
That he plans to club himself to death?
Please,
Alvin, let's face it.
Nothing we found proves that Mr. Talbot is
a werewolf.
Oh, yeah?
What about this?
The Mark of the wolf.
Every werewolf has one.
Theodore.
Just.
surprised me.
I didn't mean to scare you.
I just wanted you to hear how the next
line should be read.
Oh, hurry.
Just think about Mr. Hyde and how he
feels.
Part man, part monster.
Angry at the world.
Different from everyone else.
That sounds like Nathan.
Okay, then.
Think about Nathan.
Say the lines the way you think he would.
Gaze well upon my face, my dear.
For it is the face of evil.
Ha-ha.
Whoa.
I scared myself.
Great job, Theodore.
Oh, hi, Mr. Talbot.
Hello.
Dave, I'm feeling a little bit confident
right now.
So I'm going to hurry and do something.
Okay?
Sounds great, Theodore.
And congratulations.
Oops.
I'll get it.
Thanks.
Hurry.
It's getting dark.
So all we have to do is get a look at
Talbot's paws.
Uh, hands.
And then that's it.
Over.
Finished.
Uh, what did you mean?
I am done with this ridiculous werewolf
hunt.
I have other things to do with my time.
Such as homework, learning my lines for
the play, helping Dave with the attic,
getting... Well, aren't
we the responsible one?
Yes?
Oh, Theodore.
Uh, hi.
I, uh, wanted to give this to you for,
uh, helping me with the play.
Oh, Theodore.
Yeah.
Uh, so, uh...
Alvin?
Simon?
Let me get this straight.
All this from a game of tic-tac-toe?
Well, we're using the European rules.
Gets awfully rough.
Theodore, what's wrong?
What happened to your hand?
I was coming back.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Here, let me see it.
Well, it doesn't look too bad.
Let's go clean it up.
Did you recognize the dog?
No.
Well, don't worry about it.
I'm sure we'll find it.
You're being awfully brave, Theodore.
Thank you.
Here you go, fellas.
Cereal, grapefruit, whole-wheat toast.
Uh, can I have steak?
Mm-hmm.
Medium-rare?
Pretty funny, Theodore.
Raisins and stuff!
Well, yeah, it's just...
Uh-oh, time to go, fellas.
Here you go, Simon.
Alvin, no tomatoes.
And Theodore here...
Steak sandwich?
Theodore, you don't eat meat, remember?
I don't?
No.
Come on, Teddy, old boy.
Race you to school.
Tag!
You're it!
Now you're it!
Is that Theodore?
Must be the mincemeat.
No, I am serious.
He is terrible, I tell you!
He is... he's just terrible!
There is not a scary bone in his body!
You're forgetting.
We're doing this to improve his self
-esteem.
Well, what about my self-esteem,
sister?
My name is on this Turkey, too.
I will be the laughingstock
of the elementary
school theatrical
director's bowling league!
Do you hear me?
Let's watch.
Ah!
Then we'll talk.
Oh, shh!
No one must learn my horrible secret,
that I, kind, beloved Dr. Henry Jekyll,
have perfected a formula which can turn me
into the evil, cruel...
Mr. Hyde!
Oops!
I'm changing!
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
Go!
Henry?
No, my dear.
I am not...
Will, my dear.
You will... gaze upon this face.
For it is a face.
Well, he seems to be shaping up nicely.
Mm-hmm.
Hi, guys!
Albin, you are bending my twigs!
Oh, Theodore!
That was...
Thanks, Eleanor!
Incredible, huh?
I guess so.
I gotta admit, that was a nice move.
Yeah, it was, wasn't it?
It was like that all day!
And.
then, I... Sounds like
you had a great day.
Yeah, I really did.
That's terrific, Theodore.
I'm really proud of you.
Are you ever going to let me get a good
night's sleep?
All right.
Maybe it's not Mr. Talbot.
But there's a werewolf around here
somewhere.
I can feel it!
Albin!
What?
There is no werewolf.
But, Simon, I...
Repeat after me.
There is no...
Underline no... Werewolf.
Say it.
All right.
There is no... That's it.
That's it!
Nice!
Boy, Theodore.
Theodore!
Hey!
That's me!
Is it me?
He's like a puppy.
A werewolf puppy.
A non-housebroken werewolf puppy.
No, no, no, Theodore!
Bad boy!
I hope your mop is handy because it's on
your side of the room.
Sorry, but this is your side of the room.
Observe.
The lava lamp is clearly the dividing
line.
Theodore!
No!
Theodore!
There he is!
What a mess!
Hey, who's out there?
I got a lemon zester here and I'm not
afraid to use it.
Meow!
No!
Easy, Skye!
Easy!
You know, he's actually sort of cute.
Hey, I'll bet this is why he's great at
sports all of a sudden and acting scary.
I wonder what it's going to be like having
a werewolf for a brother.
PIN TO YOU LATELY BUT.
NOT SO SURE WE LIKE IT THAT WE.
WISH WE KNEW WHAT YOU'RE GOING.
More powder, Theodore?
Okay, fashion disaster!
They've got Jeanette doing make-up.
Hurry up, Jeanette!
I have-.
You can't talk to my sister like that!
Theodore?
What?
What's happened to you?
Beats me, but I like it!
...meme, Theodore.
Alright, people!
Center, center!
Center!
Focus!
Before we start the dress rehearsal,
I'd just like to say that in all my time
in the theater... What is it,
going on eight months now?
I don't think I've ever
been involved in a
production that's as
frightening as this one.
He's talking about you.
Now this is our final dress rehearsal.
Our last chance to find the magic.
Okay.
From the top.
Oh, bravo, bravo!
Great job, kids!
I will see you tomorrow night.
Hey!
I am, like, so confused.
Theodore was always the sweet one.
What about me?
You're the smart one.
And me?
You're the other one.
Eleanor!
Walk.
home with me.
Oh, brother.
Theodore!
Theodore!
Drop it!
Great.
Another textbook I have to pay for.
Aw, don't be too hard on him.
He's just a little puppy.
Theodore!
Remember, Alvin.
He's just a puppy.
Maybe we could rent him out to a circus.
I'm game.
Simon, before we do something we regret,
let's seek professional advice.
Alvin, what makes you think she'll be here
this late?
Because she does a midnight movie.
Not tonight, she doesn't.
Let's go.
Hold on a second!
Hey!
Look!
Oh, this is so cool!
Oh, spirits.
Can you hear me?
What do you want?
You okay, kid?
I didn't mean to startle you.
I was just under the table looking for my
keys.
We need to see Madame Raya.
It's an emergency.
Yeah, well, you're lucky you caught me.
You?
You're Madame... Normally, I
would have gone home hours ago.
What do you want?
It's about our brother.
He means uncle.
Did I say brother?
That's the stress talking.
I mean our distant, twice-removed uncle.
We need your advice.
Oh, I've already missed my butt master
class.
Come to my dressing room.
A were-chip monkey's unusual, but not
unheard of.
Of course, it's different from a human
werewolf.
For one thing, your brother,
or your uncle twice-removed,
is already closer to the
primitive animal state.
Simon, do we resent that?
Alvin, please!
So that's why he changes every night,
not just during the full moon.
This is true.
Oh, always when I miss a class,
I pig out instead.
I thought werewolves were mean,
but he acts just like a puppy.
Oh, for now.
But the power of the werewolf is a
terrible thing, and can overcome the
sweetest of creatures, turning them
deadly.
You know, I had a hamster once.
That's actually why we came here.
He's out of control.
Eh, doesn't surprise me.
There's got to be a cure for being a
werewolf, right?
Oh, of course.
For one thing, you can shoot him with a
silver bullet.
Shoot him?
But then, wouldn't he
be, you know... Dead?
Yeah, but he'd be cured.
Isn't there any other way?
Well, you could pop him with something
silver, like a cane.
Told ya.
Um, how hard?
Hard enough to... I got it.
Please don't say it.
All right, yes.
But is there any cure that ends up with
the werewolf alive?
Uh, most people don't want the werewolf
alive.
But this is our baby brother.
I mean, uncle.
Baby uncle.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Very sad.
Okay, well, I gotta go.
Your name?
It's... It's Alvin, yes?
Uh-huh.
Yeah, well, you owe me $13.95 for the
Monster Book of Monster Facts.
Oh, right.
Um, Simon?
Theodore is doomed.
Come on, boys.
Don't look so blue.
I bet you if you pop him
with the silver thing while
he's still a puppy, you won't
have to bop him so hard.
However, you gotta do it before the next
full moon.
The next full moon?
But why?
Well, after that, he'll become a full
-fledged werewolf.
And quite beyond your power to help.
Stages of the moon.
Stages of the moon.
Here we are.
Oh, no.
Simon!
The next full moon is tomorrow!
The same night as the school play!
Did you hear me?
Our little brother's
probably going to turn
into a growling, drooling,
flesh-eating monster!
Hello?
Quit your babbling.
I am trying to study this blood sample of
Theodore's.
Oh, yeah.
Where'd you get it?
From the shirt he was wearing when that
dog bit him.
There's something weird about his blood.
I'd like to compare it to a normal sample.
Here we go.
Mr. Talbot's.
Let me see.
Let me see.
Wonderful, Alvin.
Now you've contaminated the samples.
Well, excuse me for living.
That's odd.
Theodore's blood.
It seemed to... Hey,
Simon, I've got it.
Look!
But, Alvin, I'm right, M.C.
Mr. Talbot.
If only we could get his cane.
Oh, please, Alvin.
He never puts it down.
Who's the dumb brother now?
I can't do it.
But it is for his own good.
No, I can't.
Hey!
What you do that for?
Theodore, please, don't.
Don't, Theodore.
Now,
where is my cane?
Alvin!
Yes, Dave?
And offer to pay for the cane.
Although I still don't
understand why you were using
his cane to defend
yourself from... What was it?
A, um, giant gopher.
And you're sure that's the story you want
to go with?
Why?
Do you have a better one?
Well, I always prefer the truth.
I can't go to Mr. Talbot's, Dave.
Tonight's the school play.
Yeah, that's right.
And I've got the most important part.
Oh, right.
That's probably why they call it Dr.
Jekyll and his Butler.
Okay.
You want the truth?
Oh, I don't know if I can handle the
truth.
Mr. Talbot gives me the creeps.
What if he ripped off his head and there
was an alien underneath?
Or he smiled?
And had these big vampire teeth?
Or... Alvin, please,
please, enough.
Now, since you told me the truth,
you go on ahead.
I'll apologize for you.
And I'll get to the play just as soon as I
can.
Oh, thank you, Dave.
You're a lifesaver.
What an imagination.
Yes?
Oh.
Mr. Seville.
I, uh... I was just going out.
Mr. Talbot, I'm afraid I've got some bad
news.
It seems that Alvin was, uh...
Well...
Perhaps you should come in.
But make it fast.
Buongiorno, studente!
Uh.
-huh.
Oh, gag.
Did you and Alvin switch bodies or
something?
Ha!
He wishes.
Mr. Seville, do you realize that this cane
is a family heirloom?
Well, I'm not surprised.
The workmanship here is really ex...
This candle was made
from the silver bullets
fired at my grandfather
by angry villagers.
Oh!
I mean... That is special.
Um, what, um... What did he do to make
them so angry, if you don't mind my asking?
Not at all.
Perhaps in a few minutes, I'll show you.
But first, suppose you tell me what
happened.
Oh, for the love of... Tell me
that Siegfeld started... Hello?
Ladies and gentlemen,
madames et messieurs,
on behalf of the drama
department of Clyde C.
Crash Cup Elementary, I welcome you to our
little play.
Yes, a packed house.
Hey, bro, the moon's out early tonight.
Out of my way.
Alvin, he's right.
So sit back, relax, and prepare to be
terrified.
As we present... Alvin, we
can't let Theodore out of our sight.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!
All righty.
Giant gophers?
Well, giant is a relative term.
They probably look bigger to a chipmunk
than a big fellow like you.
I can certainly understand your anger.
For the record, though, Alvin is very
sorry.
As a matter of fact, he was too scared to
come over tonight.
But I told him you were a civilized,
reasonable guy.
Of course, I could be wrong.
Now, listen, Talbot.
You're a...
No one must learn my horrible secret that
I, kind, beloved Dr. Henry Jekyll,
have perfected a formula which can turn me
into the evil, cruel...
Mr. Hyde!
I'm changing!
Stay back!
This thing's silver!
I've seen all those movies!
You hate silver!
Ooh!
I've got to get to the school!
And warn the kids!
Say your line!
You know...
You rang, sir.
Oh!
Sir!
Breathe!
What?
You didn't ring?
That does it!
Oh!
We've got to do something!
Stall him!
I've got an idea!
Oh...
Oh, my goodness!
What happened?
I feel as if I've awakened from a dream!
More like a nightmare!
I'm leading him right to the kids!
Boom!
Boom!
But.
that was just the beginning!
Hold on to your hats!
Then I added H2SO4 for body!
Pretty surprising, huh?
Oh, Henry!
I'm here at last!
I, um... missed my bus!
Oh... Just because
Theodore's being a jerk...
Doesn't mean I can let everybody else
down!
The show must go on!
So, I said to myself...
I must go see Henry!
And that handsome Butler of his!
I can't leave him there all
alone with... My twin sister!
Are you doing hair?
Um... Me?
Oh... I just flew in!
From Akron!
Yes, that's it!
I'm a stewardess!
So, I fly free!
By the way... That's not makeup!
Theodore's a werewolf!
And this must be...
Your twin brother!
Who I've heard so much about!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Here I am!
My favorite demand!
Not gonna cut you!
Sure... Hey!awat!
What?
Hey!
I know great Ot !
I'm shaking in my roots!
Oh!
I'm shaking in my roots!
Oh...!
Oh...!
Hey!
What am I doing?
It's only Theodore.
Now listen here, Theodore.
I'm... Oh, boy.
That looks like Talbot's cane.
Mr. Talbot!
I knew it!
Of course!
You're saying that
your formula was oh-so
-powerful it actually
split you into two people.
Bad doggie!
Bad doggie!
Sounds ridiculous, I know.
Yes, yes.
That's right.
And then the tree.
And now...
Why bother?
It's over.
It's so over.
I would eat...
I'll get you another cane.
Wow!
I remember when I first thought of that
formula.
I was on a train.
Did I say train?
I meant cruise.
Yes!
That was the voyage when you brought me
over from Budapest.
I'm such a cute, innocent little twig.
Theodore!
Don't you know me?
Oh, Theodore!
It's beautiful!
Theodore, wait!
I can help you.
Why, it's your twin brother!
Again.
I was wrong.
It was too much trouble.
I can help you.
I see.
Now,
I gotta take you home.
And make sure you come back to me...
Oh, I see.
That's right.
And I'll walk you home.
And I'll pick you up too.
You.
don't remember anything about being a
werewolf?
Uh-uh.
Okay, time out.
I don't understand.
Allow me.
Mr. Talbot bit Theodore and turned him
into a werewolf.
Then, when Theodore bit him back, it
reversed the process and cured them both.
Well, that's clear.
Hey, we're a hit!
And I'm missing all the applause.
Thank you.
Oh, where am I?
The school!
Mr. Talbot!
Oh, no!
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
I hear you.
The whole twin thing, right?
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
What I wanted to do was explore man's
duality, okay?
The good and evil within us all.
Uh-huh.
Oh, those are pigs in a blanket,
aren't they?
Can I please have a couple?
Uh-huh.
Thank you.
Ah!
Oh, here you are at last!
Children!
Children!
I'd like to make an announcement.
Ahem.
Tonight is my last night as your
principal.
Suck-ups.
I'm taking a less stressful
job driving trucks loaded
with Nitroglycerin over rickety
Bridges in South America.
But before I go, I'd like to introduce
your new principal, Mr. Lawrence Talbot.
Ooh.
Hello.
I've already had the pleasure of meeting
some of you.
Oh, my gosh!
There he is!
I've had the opportunity to meet and
become acquainted with many more...
Dave!
No!
Don't hit him, or we'll have detention for
a year!
Get behind me, boys!
That man's a... No!
No, he's not!
But I saw him with my
own... A hundred percent right.
And he was then, but he isn't anymore.
Yeah, but... but he's...
Take a deep breath, Dave.
Theodore took care of it.
Theodore beat up a werewolf?
Uh, he doesn't need to know everything,
does he?
Thank you.
Oh, my pleasure.
I think...
Oh.
Theodore, Theodore, Theodore.
Oh, gosh!
What do I have to do to get some attention
around here?
Grow fangs?
Hmm.
I've got a better idea.
It was Wolfman.
I'm nuts.
I knew it.
Two more Wolfman nightmares.
And Theodore owes
me... a new Bunsen burner.
Wait a minute, guys.
Let's stay up a while and play.
Alvin, it's late.
Okay, I admit it.
I'm freaked out.
It's our new neighbor.
Mr. Talbot?
Exactly.
His dog was howling again.
That always spooks me.
Face it, Alvin.
It's because you watch monster movies late
at night.
Dave, has anyone talked to you about your
dandruff?
I mean it, Alvin.
This is getting way out of hand.
Now, back to sleep, everybody.
You've got school tomorrow.
Oh, yeah.
School.
How am I ever going to get to sleep?
Here, Alvin.
You can sleep with my bunny.
Oh, please.
What do you take me for?
Oh.
Oh.
Wait!
Wake up, Alvin.
Hey, how's the rehearsal coming on the
school play?
What?
Oh, fine.
Dave, I don't feel so good.
I think I've got a fever.
Nice try, Theodore.
Next time, wipe off the oatmeal.
Oh, okay.
Whoa!
Time to go, guys.
Come on.
Here are your lunches.
No tomatoes, right?
Nope.
No tomatoes.
And no avocados.
Right, Dave?
As requested.
Since when don't you like avocados?
Since Nathan's been stealing my lunch.
He hates avocados.
Oh.
Silly me.
You wouldn't want to offend your attacker.
Have a good day, fellas.
Fat chance.
We're going to school.
There's something creepy about that Mr.
Talbot.
I'm sure he says the same thing about you.
No one must learn my horrible secret.
That I, kind, beloved,
Dr. Henry Jekyll, has perfected a
formula which can turn me
into the evil, cruel, Mr. Hyde!
Now.
cut, cut, cut, cut!
Relax, Alvin.
It's all just colored water.
Hmm.
Except for the pink stuff from your
thermos.
Heck, I.
just got it back from lost and found.
Oops.
Alvin, Alvin, please!
The cardinal rule of
the theater is... Anyone?
Hello?
Huh?
Well, then let me tell you!
Always remain in character, okay?
Even when drinking old pink stuff from
your lunchbox!
Yeah, but that stuff... Now
remember, you are an... actor!
Okay.
Now we're gonna take it again,
right?
From the top!
And, Theodore, Teddy, darling,
remember, there are no small parts, okay?
But you must commit child!
Be proud of your Thunder Man!
Let it roar!
Remember what I said, Theodore.
You hurt my ears with that thunder,
and I'm gonna hurt you next time.
Oh.
And from now on, more mayonnaise on my
sandwich.
Oh!
Sorry, Eleanor.
Theodore, don't let Nathan bully you.
It's not like I give him permission.
Ha-ha.
Ow!
Ha!
Ha-ha-ha.
Hello?
What's that supposed to be?
Your, uh, costume.
Oh, no, no, no.
You are so off.
I'm supposed to be a girl named Willa who
cries a lot.
No, uh-uh.
You're a weeping Willow, Britney.
Are you saying I am a tree?
I'm afraid so, Britney.
No!
No!
No!
Oh, Mr. Rochelle!
I've got an idea!
What if, when I'm mixing the potions,
instead of using this stuff, I use these?
It's an official Madame Raya mad scientist
set.
I got it through the mail.
Pretty cool, huh?
Yes.
Yes, cool.
Alvin, answer me this, will you?
Will using these test tubes allow you
to...
to reach deep inside
yourself and find the
humanity within the
mad chipmunk scientist?
I don't know.
But it'll be a lot scarier.
Trust me.
Wait!
You shouldn't mix unknown chemicals.
Excuse me.
But who's the mad scientist around here?
But...
Look out!
That looks like it's coming from the
school.
Oh.
Please don't ring.
Don't ring.
Don't.
Hello?
Principal Milliken.
How nice to hear
you're... It's been what?
Five days since your
last... Was it only yesterday?
Time sure flies when...
Well, of course I'll come right over.
Oh.
Miss Milliken, I am really sorry about
what happened today.
I'm sure it was just an accident.
But if there's anything Alvin or
I can do... Don't worry about it.
The school board passed
a special bond issue
last year just to cover
damages caused by Alvin.
Besides, I'm about to take early
retirement.
Ooh, lucky me!
Alvin will be somebody else's problem.
You're retiring?
Why, you don't look a day over 50.
I'm 31!
Oh.
This is what having Alvin for a student
has done to me.
However, now that you're here,
it's Theodore I'm worried about.
Theodore?
Come with me.
Huh?
Uh-huh.
Cut it out, Nathan!
Let's go!
Hey, hey, hey!
I don't blame you, but Theodore's got to
learn to fight his own battles.
So that's why he doesn't want to come to
school.
Nathan's a bully.
But Theodore won't come to me and
complain, so there's not much I can do.
Careful.
Heh.
You okay, Theodore?
Yeah.
Thanks, Alvin.
Hmm... I will say this for Alvin...
He sticks up for his little brother.
It kinda makes it easier to forgive him
for blowing up the auditorium, doesn't it?
No.
I just feel so sorry for Nathan.
Because I know that he's out there,
and he's just never gonna let us win.
He must come from a very unloving family.
You know, I don't care if he comes from a
pack of angry wolves.
Wolves?
Oh, but Britney... Oh, please.
This compassion you feel for all mankind
is sickening, Jeanette.
I wonder why Nathan picks on you so much,
Theodore.
Beats me.
Maybe he just doesn't like me.
Did you guys hear that?
Hear what?
Someone's behind us.
So what?
It's a public sidewalk.
Maybe it's Nathan.
I don't hear anything.
Alvin, it was just your imagination.
Maybe.
And maybe not.
Gee, it seems a little dark tonight,
doesn't it?
Oh.
It's probably just the fog.
I hate fog.
It's merely condensed water vapor
suspended...
Unlike I care.
It's creepy and it makes my...
It sounded like breathing.
What's that?
Alvin, there's nothing.
Monster!
Hey, guys.
Just in time for... Quiet.
It's out there.
What's out there?
Something big and hairy and hungry.
Like that scene from Invasions of the Pet
People.
Alvin, let go.
I... Can.
I help you?
Mr. Seville, my name is Talbot.
Lawrence Talbot.
I'm your new neighbor.
Mr. Talbot, it's a pleasure to meet you.
Won't you come in?
No, thank you.
Your kids just trampled
all over an irreplaceable
specimen of aconitum
planted in my flower bed.
I'm so sorry.
If there's anything we can possibly do to
make it up...
You can stay away from me and stay off my
property.
Mr. Talbot, there's no need to shout.
The boys were scared by
something they saw, and it... What?
What did they see?
Nothing, really.
Mr. Talbot, are you sure you're all right?
Uh, I'm... I'm sorry.
It's just that the plant was very dear to
me, and...
Someone in this house wakes me up with
their screaming every night.
That's Alvin.
He says your dog wakes him up with a
toweling.
I don't own a dog.
Then what are you doing with all those
bones?
How did you know I had bones?
I didn't, until just now.
Alvin, please.
I'm so sorry, Mr. Talbot.
I have to go.
Please excuse my behavior tonight.
I'm not myself.
Of course.
And please, if...
Your lasagna's burning.
Oh, no.
Dinner.
Good night.
Ahem.
I'm telling you, that guy creeps me out.
How'd he know I was making lasagna?
Well, biddy-bye time.
Alvin!
We need to talk.
You guys want to wait in the den?
Oh.
Do we have a choice?
Nope.
Then we'd love to.
Hello?
David!
Calm down, Miss Miller.
What's wrong with the girls?
Alvin!
Come on.
I've got the remote here.
Oh.
Hey!
Haha!
Yourself!
We'll get back to the wall edge in just a
moment.
Oh, I can't wait to see if the mummy makes
the football team.
Aren't you afraid this'll rot your brain?
Too late.
In addition to being a
fine example of cinematic
art, today's film makes
an important point.
Monsters can pop up anywhere.
College.
The supermarket.
Even your own home.
She's right.
That is why you need Madame Reyes' Monster
Book of Monster Facts.
For only $30.95, you can learn all there
is to know about monsters.
So you can protect yourself.
For instance, did you know that werewolves
are allergic to spandex?
Maybe that's why you've never seen your
mailman wearing bike shorts.
Ha!
Haha!
Bike shorts!
The old lady across the street.
Really dry skin?
Or a mummy?
Now you can tell the difference.
This may be the most important book you
ever buy.
Because I'm telling you.
Monsters are everywhere.
Everywhere.
Everywhere.
Plus, if you order now, I will include
this amulet.
Doesn't do anything, but I got a real good
deal on them from my cousin.
Ooh.
That's pretty.
Just $18.95.
Order today before my overinsured
warehouse has a mysterious fire.
Ooh.
$1.800.
For real.
You must be 18 to call.
But don't worry about it.
We don't ask.
That's $1.800.
Huh?
Hey.
Simon.
That's enough of that.
Oh, yeah?
Don't you get it?
She's right.
There's a monster on our own block.
Oh, please.
Clean your glasses, pal.
Footsteps in the fog.
Howling at night.
Oh, there's a monster around here,
all right.
And you know who I think it is?
Uh-uh.
Mr. Talbot.
Oh, Alvin.
Why don't you guys believe me?
Behold.
What's that?
Mrs. Johnson.
Mr. Haskell.
The milkman.
Father O'Malley.
The lunch lady.
The paper boy.
The... Enough already.
I'm sorry.
Who are these people?
Just a few of the hundreds you've accused
of being a werewolf, mummy, vampire,
or she-wolf.
Just about everyone in town is in here,
Alvin.
Except... Dave.
Dave.
Of course.
No.
I... Dave?
Alvin.
That was Miss Miller.
She has a house full of screaming
Chipettes.
Would you like to tell me why?
Who's in the mood for lasagna?
This monster-mania of yours has gotten
completely out of control.
As of now, your monster days are over.
What?
No movies.
No models.
No Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
You're going cold Turkey.
No!
Sorry.
Sorry, Mr. Rochelle, but Mr. Seville and I
agree that it's for Alvin's own good!
But what about the good of the play?
I mean, Alvin knows Mr. Hyde.
Alvin lives, Mr. Hyde.
Alvin is Mr. Hyde.
Yes, well, that's the whole problem.
Mr. Rochelle, I could do it.
Why, thank you, Nathan.
Miss Milligan, please tell me you have
someone else in mind.
As a matter of fact, yes.
Someone whose self-esteem could use a
little boost.
Bless the Lord with all your heart.
Theodore.
Okay, good.
Um, Theodore, I am going to make you a
star!
Sure you can, Theodore.
I'll help you.
We all will.
But look at all these lines!
That's why Mr. Rochelle is having me play
Dr. Jekyll and you the evil Mr. Hyde.
Uh, Dave, do you...
Well, maybe this will help you get in
touch with that part of yourself.
Come on, Theodore, it'll be easier.
And you're sure Alvin's okay with this?
Let's just say he's doing as well as can
be expected.
All alone.
No friends.
No family.
No monsters.
The walls are closing in on me.
I can't breathe.
I can't.
survive!
Cool.
A candy mint.
Bye, Theodore.
Bye, Eleanor.
Here you go, son.
Thank you.
That's for me.
I'll take it.
Well, it's not monster stuff, is it,
Theodore?
That really hurts.
That book, How to Find
Happiness in a Monster-Free
World, is an important
part of my therapy.
Oh!
Well, okay.
Hook it on, pal.
Time's a-wastin'.
Come to papa.
Ow!
Hey!
This?
Monster check?
Oh, well, that is just fine.
I'm on a monster-free diet, and you have
the nerve!
Spread them!
Hey!
Aren't I entitled to a phone call?
Hmm.
My, my.
I can explain.
Of course you can.
You've left me nothing!
Take off the shoes.
Oh, here.
You forgot a piece of my heart!
Hey!
Uh-huh.
Shh!
Simon!
It's me, Alvin!
Glad to meet you.
Now, may I go back to sleep?
Simon!
Our dear Mr. Talbot is a werewolf!
And I'm not gonna rest till I prove it!
And apparently, neither am I.
Are you in or in?
Given those choices, I'm in.
But on one condition.
If we prove he's not a werewolf,
you give up this whole monster craziness.
Hmm.
Deal.
There's something wicked out there.
We feel it in the air.
It whispers, come and find me if you dare.
We'll keep on searchin'.
Monks on a mission.
Whether by day or moon.
We'll keep on work.
We know we're getting closer.
On searchin'.
Monks on a...
We're monks on a moon.
Monks on a mission.
Simon, it all fits together.
Listen to this.
Even a man who is pure at heart and says
his prayers by night may become a wolf
when the wolfbane blooms and the Autumn
moon is bright.
Your point.
All right.
Let me spell it out for you.
What is it Mr. Talbot has planted in his
hedge and flower beds?
Is that your toughest question?
Specimens of aconitum, of course.
Otherwise known as
monkshood or... Go on.
Say it.
Say it.
Wolfsbane.
Which, as anyone knows, keeps werewolves
away.
Hey fellas, have you guys seen...
Hey, what are you guys up to?
Oh, nothing much.
Just going for a world's record.
Um, yes, that's right.
It's the most consecutive tic-tac-toe
games ending in a draw.
Oh, well, um... Listen,
have you seen Theodore?
Yeah, I think he was in the backyard.
Oh.
Ow!
Thanks.
When we find my glasses, remind me to kill
you.
That's right, my dear.
It is I, Edward High.
Gaze well upon my face.
For it is the face of...
Gaze well upon my face.
For it is the face of...
Gaze well upon my face.
For it is the face of evil.
Theodore.
Are you okay?
Look.
Look,
it's right here.
It says, Many werewolves carry symbols of
wolves.
Do you remember Mr. Talbot's cane?
The one with the wolf's head?
Yes, I do.
He might even have wolf baseball caps,
and little ceramic wolf figurines,
and souvenir wolf jelly jars.
Oh, I'm happy you're amused.
The handle is made of silver.
Why?
Because silver kills werewolves.
What's your theory?
That he plans to club himself to death?
Please,
Alvin, let's face it.
Nothing we found proves that Mr. Talbot is
a werewolf.
Oh, yeah?
What about this?
The Mark of the wolf.
Every werewolf has one.
Theodore.
Just.
surprised me.
I didn't mean to scare you.
I just wanted you to hear how the next
line should be read.
Oh, hurry.
Just think about Mr. Hyde and how he
feels.
Part man, part monster.
Angry at the world.
Different from everyone else.
That sounds like Nathan.
Okay, then.
Think about Nathan.
Say the lines the way you think he would.
Gaze well upon my face, my dear.
For it is the face of evil.
Ha-ha.
Whoa.
I scared myself.
Great job, Theodore.
Oh, hi, Mr. Talbot.
Hello.
Dave, I'm feeling a little bit confident
right now.
So I'm going to hurry and do something.
Okay?
Sounds great, Theodore.
And congratulations.
Oops.
I'll get it.
Thanks.
Hurry.
It's getting dark.
So all we have to do is get a look at
Talbot's paws.
Uh, hands.
And then that's it.
Over.
Finished.
Uh, what did you mean?
I am done with this ridiculous werewolf
hunt.
I have other things to do with my time.
Such as homework, learning my lines for
the play, helping Dave with the attic,
getting... Well, aren't
we the responsible one?
Yes?
Oh, Theodore.
Uh, hi.
I, uh, wanted to give this to you for,
uh, helping me with the play.
Oh, Theodore.
Yeah.
Uh, so, uh...
Alvin?
Simon?
Let me get this straight.
All this from a game of tic-tac-toe?
Well, we're using the European rules.
Gets awfully rough.
Theodore, what's wrong?
What happened to your hand?
I was coming back.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Here, let me see it.
Well, it doesn't look too bad.
Let's go clean it up.
Did you recognize the dog?
No.
Well, don't worry about it.
I'm sure we'll find it.
You're being awfully brave, Theodore.
Thank you.
Here you go, fellas.
Cereal, grapefruit, whole-wheat toast.
Uh, can I have steak?
Mm-hmm.
Medium-rare?
Pretty funny, Theodore.
Raisins and stuff!
Well, yeah, it's just...
Uh-oh, time to go, fellas.
Here you go, Simon.
Alvin, no tomatoes.
And Theodore here...
Steak sandwich?
Theodore, you don't eat meat, remember?
I don't?
No.
Come on, Teddy, old boy.
Race you to school.
Tag!
You're it!
Now you're it!
Is that Theodore?
Must be the mincemeat.
No, I am serious.
He is terrible, I tell you!
He is... he's just terrible!
There is not a scary bone in his body!
You're forgetting.
We're doing this to improve his self
-esteem.
Well, what about my self-esteem,
sister?
My name is on this Turkey, too.
I will be the laughingstock
of the elementary
school theatrical
director's bowling league!
Do you hear me?
Let's watch.
Ah!
Then we'll talk.
Oh, shh!
No one must learn my horrible secret,
that I, kind, beloved Dr. Henry Jekyll,
have perfected a formula which can turn me
into the evil, cruel...
Mr. Hyde!
Oops!
I'm changing!
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
Go!
Henry?
No, my dear.
I am not...
Will, my dear.
You will... gaze upon this face.
For it is a face.
Well, he seems to be shaping up nicely.
Mm-hmm.
Hi, guys!
Albin, you are bending my twigs!
Oh, Theodore!
That was...
Thanks, Eleanor!
Incredible, huh?
I guess so.
I gotta admit, that was a nice move.
Yeah, it was, wasn't it?
It was like that all day!
And.
then, I... Sounds like
you had a great day.
Yeah, I really did.
That's terrific, Theodore.
I'm really proud of you.
Are you ever going to let me get a good
night's sleep?
All right.
Maybe it's not Mr. Talbot.
But there's a werewolf around here
somewhere.
I can feel it!
Albin!
What?
There is no werewolf.
But, Simon, I...
Repeat after me.
There is no...
Underline no... Werewolf.
Say it.
All right.
There is no... That's it.
That's it!
Nice!
Boy, Theodore.
Theodore!
Hey!
That's me!
Is it me?
He's like a puppy.
A werewolf puppy.
A non-housebroken werewolf puppy.
No, no, no, Theodore!
Bad boy!
I hope your mop is handy because it's on
your side of the room.
Sorry, but this is your side of the room.
Observe.
The lava lamp is clearly the dividing
line.
Theodore!
No!
Theodore!
There he is!
What a mess!
Hey, who's out there?
I got a lemon zester here and I'm not
afraid to use it.
Meow!
No!
Easy, Skye!
Easy!
You know, he's actually sort of cute.
Hey, I'll bet this is why he's great at
sports all of a sudden and acting scary.
I wonder what it's going to be like having
a werewolf for a brother.
PIN TO YOU LATELY BUT.
NOT SO SURE WE LIKE IT THAT WE.
WISH WE KNEW WHAT YOU'RE GOING.
More powder, Theodore?
Okay, fashion disaster!
They've got Jeanette doing make-up.
Hurry up, Jeanette!
I have-.
You can't talk to my sister like that!
Theodore?
What?
What's happened to you?
Beats me, but I like it!
...meme, Theodore.
Alright, people!
Center, center!
Center!
Focus!
Before we start the dress rehearsal,
I'd just like to say that in all my time
in the theater... What is it,
going on eight months now?
I don't think I've ever
been involved in a
production that's as
frightening as this one.
He's talking about you.
Now this is our final dress rehearsal.
Our last chance to find the magic.
Okay.
From the top.
Oh, bravo, bravo!
Great job, kids!
I will see you tomorrow night.
Hey!
I am, like, so confused.
Theodore was always the sweet one.
What about me?
You're the smart one.
And me?
You're the other one.
Eleanor!
Walk.
home with me.
Oh, brother.
Theodore!
Theodore!
Drop it!
Great.
Another textbook I have to pay for.
Aw, don't be too hard on him.
He's just a little puppy.
Theodore!
Remember, Alvin.
He's just a puppy.
Maybe we could rent him out to a circus.
I'm game.
Simon, before we do something we regret,
let's seek professional advice.
Alvin, what makes you think she'll be here
this late?
Because she does a midnight movie.
Not tonight, she doesn't.
Let's go.
Hold on a second!
Hey!
Look!
Oh, this is so cool!
Oh, spirits.
Can you hear me?
What do you want?
You okay, kid?
I didn't mean to startle you.
I was just under the table looking for my
keys.
We need to see Madame Raya.
It's an emergency.
Yeah, well, you're lucky you caught me.
You?
You're Madame... Normally, I
would have gone home hours ago.
What do you want?
It's about our brother.
He means uncle.
Did I say brother?
That's the stress talking.
I mean our distant, twice-removed uncle.
We need your advice.
Oh, I've already missed my butt master
class.
Come to my dressing room.
A were-chip monkey's unusual, but not
unheard of.
Of course, it's different from a human
werewolf.
For one thing, your brother,
or your uncle twice-removed,
is already closer to the
primitive animal state.
Simon, do we resent that?
Alvin, please!
So that's why he changes every night,
not just during the full moon.
This is true.
Oh, always when I miss a class,
I pig out instead.
I thought werewolves were mean,
but he acts just like a puppy.
Oh, for now.
But the power of the werewolf is a
terrible thing, and can overcome the
sweetest of creatures, turning them
deadly.
You know, I had a hamster once.
That's actually why we came here.
He's out of control.
Eh, doesn't surprise me.
There's got to be a cure for being a
werewolf, right?
Oh, of course.
For one thing, you can shoot him with a
silver bullet.
Shoot him?
But then, wouldn't he
be, you know... Dead?
Yeah, but he'd be cured.
Isn't there any other way?
Well, you could pop him with something
silver, like a cane.
Told ya.
Um, how hard?
Hard enough to... I got it.
Please don't say it.
All right, yes.
But is there any cure that ends up with
the werewolf alive?
Uh, most people don't want the werewolf
alive.
But this is our baby brother.
I mean, uncle.
Baby uncle.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Very sad.
Okay, well, I gotta go.
Your name?
It's... It's Alvin, yes?
Uh-huh.
Yeah, well, you owe me $13.95 for the
Monster Book of Monster Facts.
Oh, right.
Um, Simon?
Theodore is doomed.
Come on, boys.
Don't look so blue.
I bet you if you pop him
with the silver thing while
he's still a puppy, you won't
have to bop him so hard.
However, you gotta do it before the next
full moon.
The next full moon?
But why?
Well, after that, he'll become a full
-fledged werewolf.
And quite beyond your power to help.
Stages of the moon.
Stages of the moon.
Here we are.
Oh, no.
Simon!
The next full moon is tomorrow!
The same night as the school play!
Did you hear me?
Our little brother's
probably going to turn
into a growling, drooling,
flesh-eating monster!
Hello?
Quit your babbling.
I am trying to study this blood sample of
Theodore's.
Oh, yeah.
Where'd you get it?
From the shirt he was wearing when that
dog bit him.
There's something weird about his blood.
I'd like to compare it to a normal sample.
Here we go.
Mr. Talbot's.
Let me see.
Let me see.
Wonderful, Alvin.
Now you've contaminated the samples.
Well, excuse me for living.
That's odd.
Theodore's blood.
It seemed to... Hey,
Simon, I've got it.
Look!
But, Alvin, I'm right, M.C.
Mr. Talbot.
If only we could get his cane.
Oh, please, Alvin.
He never puts it down.
Who's the dumb brother now?
I can't do it.
But it is for his own good.
No, I can't.
Hey!
What you do that for?
Theodore, please, don't.
Don't, Theodore.
Now,
where is my cane?
Alvin!
Yes, Dave?
And offer to pay for the cane.
Although I still don't
understand why you were using
his cane to defend
yourself from... What was it?
A, um, giant gopher.
And you're sure that's the story you want
to go with?
Why?
Do you have a better one?
Well, I always prefer the truth.
I can't go to Mr. Talbot's, Dave.
Tonight's the school play.
Yeah, that's right.
And I've got the most important part.
Oh, right.
That's probably why they call it Dr.
Jekyll and his Butler.
Okay.
You want the truth?
Oh, I don't know if I can handle the
truth.
Mr. Talbot gives me the creeps.
What if he ripped off his head and there
was an alien underneath?
Or he smiled?
And had these big vampire teeth?
Or... Alvin, please,
please, enough.
Now, since you told me the truth,
you go on ahead.
I'll apologize for you.
And I'll get to the play just as soon as I
can.
Oh, thank you, Dave.
You're a lifesaver.
What an imagination.
Yes?
Oh.
Mr. Seville.
I, uh... I was just going out.
Mr. Talbot, I'm afraid I've got some bad
news.
It seems that Alvin was, uh...
Well...
Perhaps you should come in.
But make it fast.
Buongiorno, studente!
Uh.
-huh.
Oh, gag.
Did you and Alvin switch bodies or
something?
Ha!
He wishes.
Mr. Seville, do you realize that this cane
is a family heirloom?
Well, I'm not surprised.
The workmanship here is really ex...
This candle was made
from the silver bullets
fired at my grandfather
by angry villagers.
Oh!
I mean... That is special.
Um, what, um... What did he do to make
them so angry, if you don't mind my asking?
Not at all.
Perhaps in a few minutes, I'll show you.
But first, suppose you tell me what
happened.
Oh, for the love of... Tell me
that Siegfeld started... Hello?
Ladies and gentlemen,
madames et messieurs,
on behalf of the drama
department of Clyde C.
Crash Cup Elementary, I welcome you to our
little play.
Yes, a packed house.
Hey, bro, the moon's out early tonight.
Out of my way.
Alvin, he's right.
So sit back, relax, and prepare to be
terrified.
As we present... Alvin, we
can't let Theodore out of our sight.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!
All righty.
Giant gophers?
Well, giant is a relative term.
They probably look bigger to a chipmunk
than a big fellow like you.
I can certainly understand your anger.
For the record, though, Alvin is very
sorry.
As a matter of fact, he was too scared to
come over tonight.
But I told him you were a civilized,
reasonable guy.
Of course, I could be wrong.
Now, listen, Talbot.
You're a...
No one must learn my horrible secret that
I, kind, beloved Dr. Henry Jekyll,
have perfected a formula which can turn me
into the evil, cruel...
Mr. Hyde!
I'm changing!
Stay back!
This thing's silver!
I've seen all those movies!
You hate silver!
Ooh!
I've got to get to the school!
And warn the kids!
Say your line!
You know...
You rang, sir.
Oh!
Sir!
Breathe!
What?
You didn't ring?
That does it!
Oh!
We've got to do something!
Stall him!
I've got an idea!
Oh...
Oh, my goodness!
What happened?
I feel as if I've awakened from a dream!
More like a nightmare!
I'm leading him right to the kids!
Boom!
Boom!
But.
that was just the beginning!
Hold on to your hats!
Then I added H2SO4 for body!
Pretty surprising, huh?
Oh, Henry!
I'm here at last!
I, um... missed my bus!
Oh... Just because
Theodore's being a jerk...
Doesn't mean I can let everybody else
down!
The show must go on!
So, I said to myself...
I must go see Henry!
And that handsome Butler of his!
I can't leave him there all
alone with... My twin sister!
Are you doing hair?
Um... Me?
Oh... I just flew in!
From Akron!
Yes, that's it!
I'm a stewardess!
So, I fly free!
By the way... That's not makeup!
Theodore's a werewolf!
And this must be...
Your twin brother!
Who I've heard so much about!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Here I am!
My favorite demand!
Not gonna cut you!
Sure... Hey!awat!
What?
Hey!
I know great Ot !
I'm shaking in my roots!
Oh!
I'm shaking in my roots!
Oh...!
Oh...!
Hey!
What am I doing?
It's only Theodore.
Now listen here, Theodore.
I'm... Oh, boy.
That looks like Talbot's cane.
Mr. Talbot!
I knew it!
Of course!
You're saying that
your formula was oh-so
-powerful it actually
split you into two people.
Bad doggie!
Bad doggie!
Sounds ridiculous, I know.
Yes, yes.
That's right.
And then the tree.
And now...
Why bother?
It's over.
It's so over.
I would eat...
I'll get you another cane.
Wow!
I remember when I first thought of that
formula.
I was on a train.
Did I say train?
I meant cruise.
Yes!
That was the voyage when you brought me
over from Budapest.
I'm such a cute, innocent little twig.
Theodore!
Don't you know me?
Oh, Theodore!
It's beautiful!
Theodore, wait!
I can help you.
Why, it's your twin brother!
Again.
I was wrong.
It was too much trouble.
I can help you.
I see.
Now,
I gotta take you home.
And make sure you come back to me...
Oh, I see.
That's right.
And I'll walk you home.
And I'll pick you up too.
You.
don't remember anything about being a
werewolf?
Uh-uh.
Okay, time out.
I don't understand.
Allow me.
Mr. Talbot bit Theodore and turned him
into a werewolf.
Then, when Theodore bit him back, it
reversed the process and cured them both.
Well, that's clear.
Hey, we're a hit!
And I'm missing all the applause.
Thank you.
Oh, where am I?
The school!
Mr. Talbot!
Oh, no!
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
I hear you.
The whole twin thing, right?
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
What I wanted to do was explore man's
duality, okay?
The good and evil within us all.
Uh-huh.
Oh, those are pigs in a blanket,
aren't they?
Can I please have a couple?
Uh-huh.
Thank you.
Ah!
Oh, here you are at last!
Children!
Children!
I'd like to make an announcement.
Ahem.
Tonight is my last night as your
principal.
Suck-ups.
I'm taking a less stressful
job driving trucks loaded
with Nitroglycerin over rickety
Bridges in South America.
But before I go, I'd like to introduce
your new principal, Mr. Lawrence Talbot.
Ooh.
Hello.
I've already had the pleasure of meeting
some of you.
Oh, my gosh!
There he is!
I've had the opportunity to meet and
become acquainted with many more...
Dave!
No!
Don't hit him, or we'll have detention for
a year!
Get behind me, boys!
That man's a... No!
No, he's not!
But I saw him with my
own... A hundred percent right.
And he was then, but he isn't anymore.
Yeah, but... but he's...
Take a deep breath, Dave.
Theodore took care of it.
Theodore beat up a werewolf?
Uh, he doesn't need to know everything,
does he?
Thank you.
Oh, my pleasure.
I think...
Oh.
Theodore, Theodore, Theodore.
Oh, gosh!
What do I have to do to get some attention
around here?
Grow fangs?
Hmm.
I've got a better idea.
