OK, I've put in a new bag and plugged it in.
So all I have to do is...
turn it...
Aaah!
Theodore, you aren't supposed to be vacuuming.
I asked Alvin to do it.
Well, he said he had something
really, really, really important to do.
Wait. Was that three reallys or four?
-Because Alvin said-- -Where is he?
ALVIN: Cheesy, would I lie?
All right, all right... There's no reason to get personal now.
Alvin! Come on, I want you to come up here now
and clean your room like I asked!
Absolutely, and I'll be right there!
Just... just wrapping up this super-important homework call.
The point is, she thinks you're cute.
Give her a call.
Don't worry, I'll put in a good word with the coach.
He and I go way, way back.
Chloe, you know, you just have this "je ne sais quoi".
I believe that's Portuguese.
It'll be mucho fabuloso.
That's Italian!
DAVE: Alvin!
From now on, your phone is under lock and key.
Oh, boy! Dave just took Alvin's phone!
But, Dave, what if there's an emergency
and I'm in the middle of nowhere?
"Oh, thank goodness I have my phone. Let me call Dave.
Oh, wait... I can't! Dave! Dave, I hope you can hear me!"
Ho, ho! He's trying to deflect with fear.
Well, that's a good point, Alvin.
-Maybe you should stay home. -What? No!
OK, look. You've been on your phone way too much lately
-and not doing your chores. -I can explain.
Or your homework.
Well, I can explain that too!
He's about to lie through this teeth.
You'll have to live without your phone for the next week.
Oh, man! Dave is laying down the law!
-A week? -Alvin, when I was your age...
Uh-oh. Dave's talking about his childhood.
-He's done for. -Oh, man.
I didn't have a phone.
And I still saw my friends and had a great time.
-I'm sure you can do the same. -Dave, of course I can.
That's not the question. The question is, do I want to?
You know, I have to say "no"!
Alvin...
All right. All right. Seven days without a phone.
-He's not gonna make it, is he? -Nope!
[school bell rings]
Oh, Alvin, check out this Baby Gaga video.
-It has a trillion views! -Yeah, yeah, well...
Don't tell anyone, but... my dad took my phone away.
What? Your dad took your phone away!
-What? -That's so mean!
-That's so unfair! -I know, right?
Hey, everyone! Look at my new phone!
-Cool! -Wow!
Hello? G-guys?
-Ooh! -Yeah, well, you know what?
I don't need a phone! How about that?
[sighs] My life is over.
Oh, so is mine. You'll get used to it.
Hello? Is anyone there?
I have no phone.
Hey, has anyone heard from Alvin?
Guys, are you going to the party?
-What party? -No, no, he's off the grid.
-What does that mean? -Parties?
I heard Alvin threw his cell phone away.
-He's not going to the parties? -Dave took it from me!
Too bad! He's really missing out.
-I don't want to miss out! -OK. Whoo!
See you guys at the best party ever.
Can anybody hear me?
[sobbing]
-What's wrong, Alvin? -Now that I don't have a phone,
I'm just losing every friend I ever had
and watching my life pass me by!
But I can't take a picture of it, 'cause I don't have a phone!
Oh... there, there.
Maybe... maybe Simon can help?
Really? How could Simon help?
Oh, uh, he has this... um...
-never mind. -Theodore,
-What does Simon have? -Uh... well...
All this time, you had a secret phone?
-Huh? -Here I am,
cut off from the rest of the world,
and my own brother,
sleeping just a few feet away, does nothing?
-Are you finished? -Uh, you know, depends.
Will you hand me the phone?
Hmm... Let me think about that. Nope.
So this is how you're gonna play it?
We both know I'm going to get that phone.
And here's why. One, I'm asking nicely.
Two, I'm your brother.
Reason 179, I need to call my friends!
Oh, fine! I give up!
-What is this? -It's my latest invention.
The nano-phone. But, you know, I haven't tested it completely.
All right. How does it work?
Tap once to get a dial tone,
say the name of the person you want to speak to,
and then tap twice to hang up.
Amber. Amber, it's me, Alvin.
Ho, ho! Guess who's back in the game?
OMG, this is fantastic!
-Are you talking to someone? -Me? Me?
Dave, how can I talk to anybody? I don't have a phone!
Hello? Hey, is anybody there?
I have nothing in my hand. Do you see me with a phone?
No! I can't be talking to anyone, can I?
That's just me now, mumbling to myself.
"Hey, Alvin. Wanna come over?" "Sure, sure. What ya doin'?"
"Oh, nothing. No friends, you know. No cell phone.
How about you?" "Yeah, no. No cell phone. Me either..."
Oh, and then, you know, what about the orang-utan
that plays the flute? How funny was that?
Even better than the goat on the harmonica!
I must've watched that, like, ten times.
-Hey! I was talking to Amber! -She's right over there!
I don't care. I like to call her on my new phone.
We need to talk about homework.
-No! -Yes!
-[static] -Hello? Who... Is that? Huh?
Simon, now look what you've done.
-I'm hearing voices! -Wait. What do you mean?
I'm hearing Miss Smith and the principal talking.
-Is that possible? -No.
You must be picking up their cell phone frequencies.
It must be a glitch. I haven't worked everything out.
Shh, Simon! I'm trying to eavesdrop!
[gasps] Oh, no! That can't be!
-I gotta warn the class! -Alvin?
Warn them about what?
Listen up! Pop quiz in five minutes!
-Oh, no! -Are you kidding?
Simon, this is your best invention yet.
Oh! You are awesome, Alvin!
That's what I've been trying to tell you.
You're my hero.
-OK, gimme the phone. -Hmm. Let me think.
-Nope. -Alvin!
Oh, and Pamela Glockenslocker really thinks you're cute.
Her words, not mine.
Alvin, you can't listen to other people's private conversations!
Alvin? Alvin!

All right. I heard you're getting an A in History,

She's sorry for what she did,
but doesn't know how to tell you.
I heard the coach likes chocolates.
I heard Miss Smith likes fruit cake.
I heard the principal likes kale.
-Where is he? -Let me guess.
You're talking about Alvin. What did he do now?
He told Amber that I had a crush on Jimmy Atwater
and it's so not true!
Well, maybe just a little. OK, OK, I do.
But now everybody knows because of Alvin,
and I'm so embarrassed.
[sobs] But I digress.
The thing that gets me is how did Alvin know?
The only person I told was Nessa and she took an oath of secrecy.
Oh, all right, um, well... I can explain that.
He's doing what? Ho, ho!
So that's why he's suddenly become Mr Popular!
Knowing everything everyone wants to know.
Well, that, you know, is sort of my fault--
No time for that now!
What we have to do is Operation Hang Up!
Ooh, I like the sound of that.
[voices overlapping]
Simon Seville? This is Dr Blenkinsoph
from the CHIP labs.
I'm calling you in regards to your invention, the nano-phone,
which you sent in for testing.
Yes. Thank you, doctor. I was wondering what you found?
Destroy it, Mr Seville. Destroy it now!
Oh, but... but... but why? It's just a phone, doctor.
Ho, ho! If only it were just a phone!
The side effects of that device are catastrophic!
At first, test subjects are excited to eavesdrop
and pry into people's personal conversations.
But quickly symptoms start to emerge.
The subjects begin to grow tired and their eyes grow red.
Suddenly, they start to itch everywhere,
they lose track of time, and start howling,
howling and frothing like a wild beast!
Really? You don't say!
Ho, ho! Oh, I say. I say it's horrible!
But that's not the worst part.
-There's more? -Oh, yes,
it gets much, much worse.
You lose your singing voice forever
and then your head blows off, just like that.
It just explodes!
Do you think he heard, Brittany?
Well, we'll know soon enough.
Aaah!
Dave! Get it out! Get it out!
I'm itching. My eyes, they're red.
Get it out!
What? Get what out?
Dave, am I frothing yet?
Hurry, hurry! Before my head explodes!
I didn't mean to listen.
I was weak. I couldn't resist.
I don't want to be a mindless, red-eyed, frothing wild beast
that can't sing!
It's happening, it's happening. I can feel it happening!
Is this what you're talking about?
Dave, thank you, thank you!
Quick, Dave, we have to destroy it!
Take that! You're not going to hear anything again.
ALVIN: That will be the end of that!
Hey, Alvin, it's been a week. You can have your phone back.
No! Keep that thing away from me!
[doorbell rings]
-Trick or treat! -Nice try, guys.
But you can't trick or treat your own house.
-Why not? -It's in the Halloween bylaws,
-that's why. -Oh,
sounds like someone wants his house egged.
Sounds like someone wants to spend tomorrow cleaning eggs.
Oh, touché. Anyway, let's get to the important stuff.
Look at this haul!
And best of all? No apples!
Aw. I got a rock.
Oh, wait, no. It's a candy bar that fell out of its wrapper.
-Ah... nah, it's a rock. -Dave, it's a new record.
Thanks in large part to Miss Croner.
Oh, don't tell me you took advantage of her again?
Dave, it's not like it's my fault she's got a bad memory.
[doorbell rings]
-Trick or treat! -Why are you at my house?
I have nothing here you could possibly want.
Just the Halloween candy 'cause that's the day it is.
Oh, yes, of course! Why didn't you say so?
Thank you!
And a second helping of trick or treat in three, two, one...
-Trick or treat! -Why are you at my house?
Are you sure she's not tricking you?
Oh, please, Dave!
-Oh, I feel bad. -Yeah,
bad enough not to eat the candy?
No.
TV: It's either me or the werewolves outside who will get you...
-Huh? -[evil laugh on TV].
-Too scary. -Oh, but, Dave! It's Halloween!
And in ancient Greek, Halloween means "scary is good".
No, it doesn't. OK, now, come on. Off to bed.
Oh... We never get to do anything scary.
Theodore, stop worrying. None of us are going to take your candy.
I'm not worried about you guys. I'm worried about...
the Switch Witch!
-The who do what? -You know.
♪ Switch Witch ♪
♪ She's gonna come ♪
♪ She's gonna come for your candy ♪
-I've never heard of it. -The Switch Witch!
She switches all the candy you get for Halloween
with books and fruit!
-What? -Oh, Theodore,
there's no Switch Witch.
Hey! Dave said no candy till morning.
I was merely looking for rocks.
-[gasps] -Yes!
Ho, ho!
Let the great candy trade begin!
What?
ALVIN: Books and fruit?
Guys, someone took all our candy and replaced it with...
We know!
[agitated chatter]
-Order! Order! Order! -Oh!
Listen up, people! All right, now,
obviously, we've all been victims of a terrible crime.
You know, when candy is taken away from you
at just the moment you can taste it in your mouth,
well, it's not a pain any of us will soon forget.
But we must turn our attention to the culprit.
[door knob rattles]
It's the Switch Witch!
Hey, what's going on down here?
Here's a question. What are you eating?
[Gasps] He's eating candy!
Where'd ya get the candy, Dave?
Yeah, 'cause I had candy just like that.
Maybe the Switch Witch has switched with Dave's body.
Guys, stop! OK? This was left over
from the candy I handed out to the trick or treaters.
ALL: [gasp] There's more candy?
-[gasp] -No!
Books and fruit again?
Dave, this is going to go a lot easier for you
if you just tell us the truth.
What did you and the Switch Witch do with our candy?
I don't know what you're talking about. I'll be upstairs.
OK, so, we know for sure there's a Switch Witch.
We just don't know who.
Well, then, there's only one thing we need.
-Epsom salts and sauerkraut? -Uh, no.
Epsom salts and sauerkraut?
Jeanette, name one instance
where those two things would be at all helpful.
Guys, guys, come on, focus!
We need to catch a witch.
And how do we do that? We trap her. With a witch trap!
All right, guys. So, gather everything you think will attract a witch.
That way, we bring the witch to us.

Possible witch approaching.
I... I repeat, possible witch approaching.
Nope. No, that would be Cheesy, Theodore.
I cannot confirm that at this moment.
Theodore, it's definitely Cheesy.
He's approaching the witch trap.
In three, two...
Oh, sweet! Sauerkraut and Epsom salts!
My favourite things! Hey, is this a garage sale?
-Cheesy, get off our lawn! -Well...
can I just take the Epsom salts and sauerkraut?
-Uh... no! -It's not for you!
Argh... OK. Then I guess I'll just take the candy.
Bye, losers!
Oh, shoot! Oh... oh...
All this work and not one witch.
-Looking for witches, are you? -Aaah!
You might want to try checking in on old Miss Miller.
-[gasps] Miss Miller? -Why look so surprised?
In the meanwhile,
I'll help myself to the Epsom salts and sauerkraut.
Hey! Hey, wait a... Hold on a second!
Why do you say Miss Miller?
Why did she say Miss Miller?
♪ Come on to my house, my house ♪
♪ I'm gonna give you candy ♪
-Nah! -Nah!
She's... she's not the Switch Witch.
But why would Miss Croner tell us to look at Miss Miller
when clearly she's not the Switch Witch?
To deflect us.
Yes. Yes, exactly.
We must've been getting too close, and she knew it!
Ho, ho! She's the witch!
We don't have a shred of proof!
-[gasps] It's a sign from Paul Newman. -It's not Paul Newman, Alvin.
It's Isaac Newton.
Whatever.
If she already had the candy, then why would she--
Simon, to throw us off the track.
Do I have to lay everything out for you on a silver platter?
Well, I don't know about the rest of you,
but I, for one, am not going to stand for this.
Brittany, go up there and demand she return our candy.
Uh... no.
All right. Fine. Uh, Theodore, you go get it.
[gasps] No!
All right. Simon, show him how to do it, would you?
Well, Alvin, since you're not going to stand for it,
-you should go. -Oh, fine.
Looks like it's up to me. Again.
[step creaks]
[screams]
Switch Witch, I'm going to come.
I'm going to come for your candy.
[evil cackle]
[gasps] I told you guys she's the Switch Witch.
She's obviously headed to her candy stash. Come on!
Let's follow her.
-Into the woods? -What choice do we have?
Yeah, we've got to get our candy back.
-[owl hoots] -[dog howls]
-[gasp] -Look!
Whoa. OK.
So, I... I'm ready to go home now.
I'm... I'm trying to eat healthier anyway.
I... I don't... I don't even like candy that much.
-Yeah, we're good. -Time to go.
Yeah, yeah, and, you know, candy's really overrated.
All right, guys, let's just get a little backbone here.
If we all go together, as a team, we'll be fine.
Against the Switch Witch? Are you crazy?
Simon, we're on a very slippery slope here, you know?
I mean, one day it's our candy, the next it's our bikes!
I say it ends here!
He's right.
-[gasp] You broke the door! -Put it back!
I'm trying, I'm trying!
[door creaks]
MISS CRONER: Who goes there?
Um... n-nobody.
MISS CRONER: What do you mean, nobody?
Uh... We just w-want our c-c-candy!
Just... just some of it.
Like, uh, maybe half?
Oh, you do, do you?
Aaah!
Well, let me tell you what I have to say to that!
Aaah!
You said you wanted Halloween to be more scary!
-Here you go! -[gasp]
I guess you can't have Halloween without a little candy.
But if you really want a treat, read those books!
-Yeah, yeah. -Totally.
I always wanted to jump into a pile of candy.
No!
Ow...
I'm OK. I was just kidding when I said I didn't love candy!
Oh, I... I love it so much.
Dave, that was the most amazing Halloween trick ever.
Thanks, Alvin.
But, but, Dave, next year, we should, you know amp it up.
I'll help you really scare these guys.
You know, like, scar them for life kind of stuff.
No. No, Alvin. I really don't--
Dave, Dave, trust me. We gotta bring in some crazy clowns
-and then we'll... -Alvin...
Have you ever seen Halloween Horror
or, or... It's Coming For You?
Alvin!
