Brittany
Now we'll never get to perform at the International Music Awards.
Eleanor
I guess now we're the losers.
[makes an 'L' with her fingers, putting it on top of her head, Brittany does the same]
Zoe
Jeanette... I don't know what to say. I guess I was just so obsessed with finding that treasure that I kind of... I lost it. And I'm...I'm really sorry. We both are.
[turns to Jeanette; sighs; holds up Dunlop]
Jeanette
Oh, well, apology accepted. Here... I want you to have this.
[looks at Zoe and smiles awkwardly; grabs the gold bracelet on her head that Simon (as Simone) gave her and holds it out to her]
Zoe
Really? Look, Dunlop, this is a new beginning for both of us.
[gasps; chuckles and grabs the gold bracelet and puts it on Dunlop's "head"; smiles at Jeanette]
Jeanette
I hope you don't mind. Simone... gave it to me.
[shocked but smiles awkwardly at Zoe again; not wanting to seem mean. Simon jumps off and walks up to her. Jeanette smiles nervously at him.; chuckles nervously]
Simon
Oh, n-no, I don't mind. Y-You know, Jeanette, even the most perfect gem cannot compare to your... beauty.
[barely able to make eye contact with her]
Alvin
Um, Dave?
Dave
Yes, Alvin?
Alvin
I just wanted to say, now that we're not all...you know... dead Sorry.... Sorry. Hm? Heh, Sorry I was acting like a child on the ship. And kind of maybe ruined our family vacation.

Sometimes a racehorse needs a little room to run.

Yes. Yeah. I like where your head's at. That is very wise, David.

Sup? What, no love for Uncle Ian?

You put us in cages!

Seriously? Are we still talking about that?! New subject: I saved Dave's life!
Theodore
Okay, but I'll be watching you, mister!
[looks at Ian through the spyglass]

Alvin, you still have that pocketknife I gave you?
[looks up at the sky, then back at Alvin]

Knife? Oh, right! Sorry, I meant to give it back.

Maybe you can use it to signal that helicopter.

What? Hey!

Hey!

We're down here!

Zoe!
Zoe
No, no. Not another step! Don't come any closer!
[holds the rope that's holding Jeanette]
Dave
Are you all right, Jeanette?
Jeanette
I'm pretty freaked out, and those earrings tasted awful! Blegh!
[spits out all the treasure from her mouth]
Alvin
Zoe, you don't have to do this!
Zoe
Oh, I don't? I spent ten years looking for this treasure. It's the whole reason why I came to this stinking island!
Alvin
You mean... you mean you didn't crash-land?
Zoe
They said that I was crazy and they said that this map was a fake! And now the treasure…is MINE!
[pulls out map]
Alvin
RUN!
Dave
Jeanette, come on! Come on! Run!
Zoe
No, you don't!
Alvin
Jeanette!

Oh, no, help!
[panicking]

You're going back in that cave, and you are going to get me more treasure!
[pulling the rope to drag Jeanette to her]
Simon
JEANETTE!
Jeanette
Simone!
Simon
It's Simon!
[adjusting his glasses]
Dave
ALVIIIIIN!
Alvin
Hurry!
[turns to look at Dave, who throws him the aforementioned pocketknife. He jumps after it, catches it with one paw, flips it open and cuts the rope, causing Zoe to fall on her back.]
Dave
Come on, guys, go! Go, go! Come on, come on.

A Moment of Sacrifice and Friendship
Dave
Let go!
Simone
I've been hit!
[falls dramatically]
Theodore
By Dave's necklace?
[tugs the necklace with his paws.]
Simone
Tell Jeanette I will watch over her... with angel wings.
[plays dead]
Theodore
Dave?
[picks up the candy necklace. Dave rolls onto his belly, and the two of them make eye contact; their mouths gradually curl into smiles]
Dave
Ha-ha, Theodore!
[picks up Theodore, overjoyed; Theodore hugs his shoulder]
Simone
Dave? Ha ha! Told you we'd find him!
[climbs a tree]
Dave
Simon!
Simone
It is Simone, but I am often confused for this Simon fellow. Perhaps we look alike?
[leans on the tree's branch]
Dave
Simone?
[confused]
Theodore
Ian!
[sees Ian comes out of the bush]
Ian
Hey, you found the chubby one.
Dave
Don't worry, Theodore. Nothing's gonna happen to you. Is it?
Theodore
What was that?!
[whimpers]
Ian
Uh, that's an active volcano.
Alvin
Okay, Brittany and I will build the deck. Eleanor, you need to start braiding ropes. Jeanette, find as many coconuts and mangoes as you can. Who knows how long we'll be out there.
Dave
What can I do to help?
[walks up behind them]
The Chipettes
Dave!
The Chipettes
You found us! Yay!
Brittany
We missed you so much!
Jeanette
I knew you would find us!
Dave
Eleanor! What happened?
Eleanor
Oh, nothing... just a little... zip-line accident.
Dave
A what?!
Eleanor
I'm fine. It only hurts when I try to explain it.
[picks up the crutch, smiling at Dave awkwardly]
Dave
Okay, you know what? Never mind. The important thing is you guys are safe. Alvin? Everything's gonna be okay. Hey, what is it?
[looks up to see Alvin, who, not looking too happy, can barely look at him. He drops Brittany and Jeanette down carefully and walks over to the barrel that Alvin is standing on.]
Alvin
I thought you'd never find us... that you weren't even looking...
[on the verge of tears]
Dave
Why wouldn't I look for you?
[confused]
Alvin
Because I'm such a pain in the...
Dave
Alvin.
[interrupting him, reassuringly]
Alvin
I know, you don't think I'm a pain.
Dave
No, you're a pain. But I'd come, no matter what.
The Chipettes
*sigh with happiness*
Simone
Arc de Triomphe, mayonnaise, Napoleon...
Ian
Ugh. I get it, Frenchie; you come from a rich history. Well, guess what? We're ALL gonna be history if we don't get out of here.
The Chipettes
Uncle Ian?!
[terrified]
Alvin
What's he doing here?
Dave
It's kind of a long story.
Theodore
Don't worry, he's cool.
Simone
Yes, for a pelican man.
Alvin
Oh yeah, nothing cooler than a grown man in a pelican suit.
Alvin
So, Dave, how are we gonna get out of here?
Dave
I don't know, Alvin, I think you've got this under control.
Alvin
Theodore, you and Eleanor are on rope duty. Dave and Ian, we need oars. Simone, you and Jeanette are in charge of food. And, Zoe...
[smiles]
Zoe
No, I know, I know. I'm gonna go and I'm gonna pack up my balls!
[walks away]
Dave
Who's that?
Alvin
Another long story.

Dave. I'm coming with you.

Absolutely not, it's too dangerous.

Remember I said someday I may need to disobey you? Sorry, Dave, but I gotta disobey you.
Dave
Let's go.
[resignedly]
Zoe
You're not coming up until you have every last bit of that treasure!

Jeanette

[stammering]
Zoe
Well, then I guess you better hurry, huh?
