ALVIN, SIMON, and THEODORE are sitting at the lunch table, looking at the new kid, ELEANOR.
ALVIN
(whispering)
Hey, look at the new girl.
SIMON
(whispering)
Yeah, she's pretty cute.
ALVIN
(loudly)
Hey, new girl! You want to sit with us?
ELEANOR
(startled)
Me?
ALVIN
Yeah, you. Come on, don't be shy.
Eleanor smiles and walks over to the table.
ELEANOR
Thanks.
The Chipmunks and Eleanor eat lunch together, and they quickly become friends.
EXT. SCHOOLYARD - DAY
The Chipmunks and Eleanor are playing basketball in the schoolyard when they are interrupted by a group of older boys.
OLDER BOY
Hey, you little punks! Get out of here! This is our court!
ALVIN
We were here first!
OLDER BOY
Yeah, well, we're bigger!
The older boys start to push the Chipmunks and Eleanor around.
ALVIN
(to Eleanor)
Run!
The Chipmunks and Eleanor run away from the older boys, and they hide in a nearby shed.

The Chipmunks and Eleanor are hiding in the shed, scared.
ALVIN
(whispering)
What are we going to do?
SIMON
(whispering)
I don't know.
ELEANOR
(whispering)
I'm scared.
Suddenly, the door to the shed opens, and a man enters.
MAN
(kindly)
Hello. Can I help you?
The Chipmunks and Eleanor look at each other, and then they look at the man.
ALVIN
(to the man)
We're hiding from some bullies.
MAN
(nodding)
I see. Well, you're safe here. My name is Dave Seville, and I'm a songwriter.
The Chipmunks and Eleanor are surprised.
SIMON
You're Dave Seville? The songwriter?
DAVE
Yes, that's me.
The Chipmunks and Eleanor are excited to meet Dave, and they tell him about their troubles with the older boys.
DAVE
(listening patiently)
I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. But I'm sure we can find a way to solve this problem.
Dave thinks for a moment, and then he has an idea.
DAVE
I know! We'll form a band!
The Chipmunks and Eleanor are excited by Dave's idea.
ALVIN
A band?
DAVE
Yes, a band! You can sing, and I'll write the songs. We can be the biggest band in the world!
The Chipmunks and Eleanor agree to Dave's plan, and they start practicing right away.

(to the Chipmunks and Eleanor)
Okay, guys, let's do this!
