[looking at a book of wedding cakes]
So this is a very popular cake with many of the fashionable weddings, you know? And this...I just don't do anymore. And this is fabulous.
Oh. Oh, that is incredible! Annie, that's just like the one we saw in the magazine.
Annie Do you like it Dad?
Well, what is that? Is that dollars? $1,200?
Well, Mr. Banks. This is a very reasonable price for a cake of this magnitude.
A cake, Franck, is made of flour and water. My first car didn't cost $1,200.
Well, welcome to the nineties, Mr. Banks!
[voiceover]
Not only did I not understand a syllable this guy was saying, now I had the feeling he was putting me down.
Annie I'm sorry, Dad. But I'm not going to marry Brian.
Okay. Okay. Whatever you want is okay with us.
Annie I feel so awful after everything you guys have done. Now I have to undo it all.
Don't worry about it. These things get canceled all the time. Your mother and I can take care of everything. What happened? Another girl?
Annie Oh, look at your shirt.
Annie No, it wasn't anything like that. It started out as nothing really. He gave me a present. It's our eight month anniversary today and he gave me...just look! He said it was for me. For our apartment. Just look.
Annie Yeah. Exactly. I mean, I didn't want to act thrown or anything, but inside I was. I mean, I thought something for the apartment...maybe a new clock, or a cool phone, or a great art book, or something...but a blender? I mean, what is this? 1958? Give the little wife a blender? I mean, it scared me, you know? In terms of his expectations. I started to freak out and he asked me what was wrong and I asked him what a gift like this is supposed to be telling me and he said nothing and I didn't believe him and we got into this big fight. And he said I was overreacting. And I said why would I overreact? Nobody in my family overreacts. And then, he came up with this totally absurd story, this completely outrageous lie and I'm looking at him and I'm thinking, this man's a liar!
Annie Oh, actually it was something about you.
Annie He said the day that you and Mom went to go visit his folks...this is so ridiculous! He said that you were snooping around his dad's desk and you somehow found his dad's bankbook...Oh no! First he said you broke some mirror in their bathroom. And then you found his dad's bankbook and you somehow threw it in their pool. I mean, it's too ridiculous. The man lies!
Annie Did I wake you?
No, I was up. So what are you doing?
Annie I couldn't sleep. I just kept thinking about how this was my last night in my bed...in my house...kinda like my last night as a kid. I mean, I've lived here since I was five and I feel like I'm supposed to turn in my key tomorrow. It was so strange packing up my room. You know how you have always trained me never to throw anything away. So like I have all these ratty stuffed animals and yearbooks...my old retainer...all my old magic tricks. And I actually packed it all. I just didn't want to let it go. I mean, I know I can't stay, but it's like I don't want to leave.
Well, that's the thing about life...is uh, the surprises. The little things that sneak up on you and grab hold of you. Still happens to me.
Annie [It starts snowing]
Yikes. What is this?
Annie Oh my God. Talk about surprises.
It hasn't snowed in L.A. since I was nine.
Annie Mom's gonna die. What? What is that face?
No. Nothing. I was just thinking.
Annie Oh, this is going to end up costing you more money.
No. How I know I'll remember this moment for the rest of my life.
Guys, last night was one of the best nights of my life.
Even that Suggs guy hung out with us.
Yeah, he's not that bad after all.
Hey! We missed a call from Dave. And a text. 27 of them.
This where they told us to meet them, right?
Well, yelled at us to meet them.
Hopefully they had time to cool off on the plane.
Samantha You know what, Dave? You're an artist, and you're emotional... and you follow your heart, but maybe I should take the lead one this one. You know, we keep a level head. Throw them a little Good Cop. Okay.
Samantha [to Miles and the Chipmunks]
Don't you "Dave, Mom" us. Do you have any idea how terrifying it is... to find out that your children are 2,000 miles away from where they're supposed to be? You are lucky that there are witnesses, [Everyone heard everything] because I am so mad right now... that I could just spit! Right here, on this floor!
Okay, okay, okay, okay. Nice Good Cop.
Dave, I swear, it wasn't as crazy as it looked on TV.
Oh, really? Well, let me just pull up some of Theodore's tweets from last night. "Only one word to describe this night, "Crazy, crazy, crazy,crazy." Or, "if you wanna get crazy, "go to New Orleans. It's the craziest." Or, "In a New Orleans Jazz Parade, "so crazy."
We're really sorry, Dave.
Sorry's not gonna cut it this time, guys. If were up to me, we'd be going home, but I gotta get back to Miami. Do not smile. You guys are grounded in Miami and also when we get back to LA.
[scoffs]
When are we not grounded?
You'll be so old, your fur will be gray.
Samantha Yeah, that goes for your fur too, Miles.
Samantha Well, whatever you have is grounded... for a long time. Let's go.
Huh. They didn't kill us after all
[Dave returns with Samantha]
Oh, Dave, thank goodness.
Hey, guys. This is Samantha. Sam, these are my boys.
Samantha Hi.
[Dave and Samantha look up]
That's Theodore. He might be the smallest, but he's got the biggest heart.
Samantha Hi.
Ooh, we've heard a lot about you. [Samantha comes close to Alvin] Enchant. [kisses Samantha's finger]
Samantha I can tell that you're trouble.
If by "trouble", you mean "irresistible", then guilty as charged.
Alvin, of course, and there's Simon.
Samantha I am. Did Dave mention that?
No, you're wearing a stethoscope.
Samantha [looks at her stethoscope]
Yes, I am. [takes off her Stethoscope] That's embarrassing.
Would it be okay if I tried it?
Samantha Yeah, knock yourself out.
[She gives Simon the stethoscope]
Oh, thank you. [uses a Stethoscope to listen to his heart] Heart rate is smooth and steady, 400 BPM.
Samantha It's so nice to finally meet you guys.
Samantha [sees something wrong with Dave]
Oh, no.
[angrily; offscreen, we cut to outside the saloon in Miami that he and Samantha are dating]
ALVIN!!!!! [echoes, it fades back to New Orleans, where we see the party has already finished, and we see Miles carrying the boys on his back and walking down the street]
