Dave: [searching through his clothes] The taxi's gonna be here any minute, and I'm not even packed! Has anyone seen my tie? Simon: [highlighting the tour book] You're wearing it, Dave.

Alvin: Come on, Simon. Help me out. Simon: [firmly] Absolutely not. I refuse to be a part of this deception. Alvin: Okay, Theodore, it's you and me.

Theodore: [wrapped around in recording tape; nervously] I think so. Simon: I can't believe you'd deceive Miss Miller for a package of Tutti Frutti, Theodore. Theodore: Two packages.

The first one back wins $100,000! Alvin: A hundred... Brittany: Thousand dollars! Jeanette: [walks over to Simon] Simon, which route do you think we should take to Bermuda? Simon: Well, if you insist on going, don't take the east-turning route. [Brittany notices] I heard on the news that there's a hurricane coming in that direction. Brittany: Thank you for your advice, Simon. [drags Jeanette away] What a liar! He's getting as bad as Alvin. Jeanette: But what if he's telling the truth, Brittany?

Simon: [wisely] I'm only along to see you don't get into too much trouble. Theodore: [sees the restaurant up ahead] Hey, there it is! The Cluck 'N Taco! [runs up to a counter] I'll have two cheese enchiladas with extra sauce, and a tostada grande, oh, and a quesadilla with a side of guacamole, uh, two chile... Simon: [setting him down] They're closed, Theodore. Alvin: [at another counter, where a mechanical sombrero is located] Oh, fellas!
