Play Phineas and Ferb Theme Song
The wind blows multiple calendar pages into the air, starting on June 3.
There's 104 days of Summer Vacation
Then School comes along just to end it
Phineas and Ferb sit under a tree in their backyard.
So the annual problem for our generation
Is finding a good way to spend it
Cue montage of the boys doing multiple activities.
Like maybe
First, the boys land on the moon. They jump out of the rocket and float forwards.
Second, Phineas climbs on top of Ferb. They try to fight a mummy.
Third, they climb up a certain French tower.
Building a rocket or fighting a mummy
Or climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Fourth, Ferb removed a tarp to show a weird unicorn-turtle hybrid. Phineas takes a picture of it.
Fifth, the boys force a monkey into the shower. Neither of them enjoy this one.
Discovering something that doesn't exist
Or giving a monkey a shower
Sixth, they surf on a large wave.
Seventh, they create tiny robots.
Eighth, they find Frankenstein's monster. The brain is missing from the head. It doesn't take them that long to find.
Ninth, they find a bird.
Tenth, they fly on a helicopter with a large paintbrush over the city. They covered the city in orange paint.
Eleventh, the boys work on a painting. The painting depicts a red-headed girl with a mustache.
Surfing tidal waves, creating nanobots, or locating Frankenstein's brain
Finding a dodo bird, painting a continent, or driving your sister insane
Turns out, this girl isn't actually a painting, but the boys' sister, Candace. She turns to Phineas angrily.
"Phineas!" she shouts.
The boys do multiple things, all the while their sister watches angrily.
Film a movie.
Build a giant robot dog.
Tamper with a car.
Ride a rollercoaster.
As you can see, there's a whole lot of stuff to do before School starts this fall
Candace talks to a friend on the phone. She doesn't notice the boys carrying a live elephant into the backyard until she hears Phineas call out, "Come on, Perry!" That gets her attention.
Later, she's seen playing "Whack-a-Pest". The pests that pop out are her brothers and their pet platypus.
So stick with us, 'cause Phineas and Ferb are gonna do it all
Afterwards, the boys dance around and play guitar as images of the infinite possibilities flash by.
So stick with us, 'cause Phineas and Ferb are gonna do it all
When the boys are done, they pose. Their sister comes in.
"Mom, Phineas and Ferb are making a title sequence!" she shouts.
The boys stare at her for a second. They then brush it off and resume their poses.
End Intro
104 Days of Summer Vacation
Day 47
Swiss Family Phineas
Phineas was fantasizing himself driving a boat.
"Alright, crew," he said. "Prepare for the hunt of a lifetime. Isabella, raise the jib."
"Aye-aye, captain," Isabella replied as she raised the sail.
"Ahoy, Ferb!" Phineas called Ferb, who was on the upper deck. "Any sign of the great white whale?"
"You better not be talking about me!" a voice yelled.
That snapped Phineas out of her trance.
"Boys, can't you wait until we get the boat in the water?" Linda asked.
Right as she said that, Lawrence got the boat in the water.
"It's not actually called a boat, darling," he corrected as he got on the boat. "It's called a sloop, and when we're at sea, there is no right or left, only port and starboard."
"So, uh, where's the bathroom?" asked Isabella.
"It's not a restroom, it's…"
"A poop deck," Phineas butted in.
"It's actually called the head," said Lawrence. "But 'poop deck' does make a lot more sense."
"Can we just get this over with?" Candace asked. "Jeremy's throwing a romantic soiree at sunset tonight. I'm kinda on a deadline here."
"Don't worry, darling. It's only gonna be a three-hour tour?"
"'A three-hour tour'?"
"You can use the time to soak up the Vitamin D."
"Fine."
Lawrence checked 'Candace Distracted' off the list. He then checked to make sure the kids had their lifejackets on. He then realized something was missing.
"Hey, where's Perry?" he asked.
"Oh, he stayed at home," Phineas replied. "Baljeet's watching him."
Baljeet was watching Perry. He was just standing there and doing nothing.
"Hey Baljeet, whatcha doin?" came a voice.
Baljeet turned and saw Buford arrived with a baseball bat and glove.
"I am watching Perry the Platypus," he replied. "I promised to not take my eyes off of him all day."
"That's lame," Buford remarked.
"He is a platypus. They do not do much."
"Maybe he needs some motivation." Buford held his bat out, threateningly.
Baljeet grabbed Buford's arm. "No! I have given my solemn oath to protect this little monotreme until the Flynn-Fletcher family comes home!"
That's when they both heard a beep.
"What is that noise?" Baljeet asked.
"I don't know," Buford replied. "Maybe a car alarm?"
Unbeknownst to either of them, Perry grabbed a tiny watch and put it in his mouth.
Meanwhile, the ship left the shore. Phineas was standing at the front of the ship with his arms spread out, kinda like he was flying.
"Hey Phineas, whatcha doin?" came Isabella.
"I'm practicing my 'king of the world' pose," Phineas replied. "Hey, check that out."
They both saw Ferb swimming with the dolphins.
Phineas then noticed three flags.
"According to my Fireside Girls manual, each one of those flags has a meaning," Isabella explained. "The blue flag means it's crab season, the yellow flag means hold the mustard, and the last one… I'm actually not sure what that one means."
That's when dark storm clouds covered the sky.
"Oh, here it is," Isabella said as she turned the page. "The red flag with the black box means…"
As if to finish her sentence, there was a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder. Rain started to pour down.
"Get below deck, kids!" Lawrence ordered. "I'll steer us back to shore!"
The kids did as they were told.
Unfortunately the waves had other plans. They directed the ship towards a whirlpool.
"Don't worry, everyone!" Lawrence tried to assure everyone. "I have it all under control!"
Sadly, the ship got caught in the whirlpool.
"Agent P, are you there?" asked Monogram's voice.
Perry thought eating his watch would cover it up, but he was wrong.
"It's coming from his stomach," said Baljeet. "Maybe he's hungry."
Baljeet left to find something to feed Perry.
"Don't worry little duck thing," Buford assured as he hugged Perry. "We'll take good care of you."
Perry was able to stick his tongue out, releasing his watch and revealing himself to Monogram without revealing himself to Buford.
"There you are, Agent P," said Monogram. "I can see you're in a bit of a jam. Can you get us a better view of the situation?"
Perry picked up his watch and stretched it so Monogram could see Buford on screen.
"Looks like we picked a bad day to send all of our agents to sensitivity training," Monogram remarked. "We're all out of options. I was hoping this day would never come, but Carl, this is your big chance."
Play "Carl the Intern"
Carl couldn't describe the excitement he felt when Monogram had him sit in a chair which launched him high into the air.
Carl, he works a camera
Carl, he knows what all those buttons do
Carl, he clears the paper jam
Carl, and he'll pick up the laundry, too
He knows how to format, spell check, and text edit
He's working this job just for college credit
He's Carl the Intern
Carl landed in a big garage. Around him, mechanical arms quickly assembled a fake ice cream truck. Monogram appeared on a little screen.
"Good luck, Carl," was all he said.
Carl
End "Carl the Intern"
Before anyone knew it, the rain finally cleared.
"Well, the ship stayed together, didn't it?" Lawrence sarcastically remarked. "Of course, we'll have to reattach the wheel."
But it was more than the wheel that needed reattaching. The ship was stuck on a rock, and it punctured a big hole.
"Kids, are you alright?" Lawrence asked.
Phineas and Isabella both got up.
"We're fine," Phineas said before realizing, "Hey, where's Ferb?"
He found what looked like Ferb buried head-first in the sand. He pulled his legs, only to find out it was just Ferb's pants.
The real Ferb showed up covering his body in a huge leaf. Phineas handed Ferb his pants, and he quickly put them on.
They then found Candace with her head stuck in a barrel. She quickly pulled it off of herself.
"Ooh, this doesn't look good at all," Lawrence said after inspecting the damage. "Kids, don't come up here, it's far too dangerous. Candace, why don't you look for food while we fix the boat? Kids, you can look for some shelter if you like. We may be here a while."
The moment Candace heard that, she panicked. "A while? You mean we're stranded? That means I won't get to Jeremy's party before the sun sets! We'll be stuck here forever eating bugs and rocks, then I'll have to marry a monkey and have monkey kids, then name them Xavier, Fred, and Amanda!"
"And we'll love them either way. Candace, the sooner we get started, the sooner we all get to go home."
Candace sighed and relented.
With that, the kids walked into the forest.
Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella looked around for anything useful. After a bit, Phineas found an area full of bent trees.
"This spot has potential," he said.
"Great, we can use these to repair the boat," Isabella suggested.
Phineas remembered Candace's hissy fit earlier. He smiled mischievously. "No, I think we can do better."
With that, the trio built a treehouse with the materials they had. They even enlisted the help of nearby crabs and birds.
"Remember, Carl," Monogram reminded. "Nothing distracts kids like ice cream. You need to get rid of those boys so Agent P can do his mission."
"Aye-aye, sir," Carl saluted.
"Both hands on the wheel, Carl."
Carl got his hand back on the wheel. "Sorry."
Baljeet returned empty-handed.
"Sorry, Perry," he apologized. "I could not find the platypus food."
That's when he and Buford heard the ice cream truck. They both ran to get their ice cream, but Baljeet realized he almost forgot Perry. He went back to pick him up.
While the boys were busy ordering their ice cream, neither of them noticed Perry sneak into the truck through a small hatch.
The truck drove away right after the man handed the boys their ice cream.
"Hey, they didn't charge us," Buford remarked. "Rookie mistake."
Baljeet turned only to see Perry was missing.
"Wait, where is Perry?" he asked.
"Glad to have you back, Agent P," said Carl. "You lost some time, but I brought along the escape cone."
Perry got on the escape cone and flew off. Monogram appeared on a tiny screen.
"Agent P, we just received reports that Doofenshmirtz has been buying up all the laundry detergent in the Tri-State Area," he explained. "We want you to find out what he's up to and stop him. You'll need to use your tracking device before your delicious ice cream cone melts."
Right as he said that, the cone melted. Perry started plummeting to the ground. Thankfully, the fake cherry had a parachute.
He landed inside a volcano. Inside the volcano was Doof and a huge pile of laundry.
"Where's Perry the Platypus?" he asked. "He should've been here hours ago."
Perry revealed himself then and there.
"Ah, Perry the Platypus," Doof smiled. "I had a trap for you, but no time. This is a little complicated."
Doof grabbed Perry and had him sit in front of an old movie screen, he didn't even waste time strapping him to the chair.
"Just recently, I learned the meaning of big laundry," he explained. "I am nefariously planning to provide the entire population of the Tri-State Area with free laundry, which will drive all the big laundromats out of business, freeing up prime real estate locations for my newest franchise, the Doofenshmirtz Institute of Evilology, where in only six weeks, students can earn a certificate of mayhem, larceny, or ponzi schemes. I'm here in this volcano on this deserted island 'cause I get all this free monkey labor. I control them all with my Monkey-Enslaveinator Helmet. All I had to do was build one of them because you know, 'monkey see, monkey do'."
Doof got distracted when he noticed a monkey was about to put the red clothes with the white ones.
"Don't do that!" he yelled. "You'll turn the whole batch into a pink mess! Bright colors over there you literal incompetent baboon!" He pointed the monkey in the right direction. "Now, what was I talking about?"
Perry used the same cart of clothes to ram over Doof.
Buford and Baljeet were hanging missing posters for Perry all throughout Danville.
"Why don't we just buy them a new one?" asked Buford.
"You can't just buy a…!" Baljeet was about to yell. "Wait, I think you're onto something."
Candace collected some coconuts.
"We don't need to eat," she complained. "We need to get out of here. I swear, if I don't get to Jeremy's party…"
Before she could finish that thought, a monkey grabbed her and tossed her into the air. She landed in a huge treehouse.
Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella were there.
"So, what do you think of our shelter?" asked Phineas.
Candace took a moment to really process the luxurious treehouse the boys built.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" she yelled. "YOU HAD PARTS, BUT INSTEAD OF USING THEM TO FIX THE BOAT, YOU WASTE THEM ON A TREEHOUSE?!"
"Why should we?" Phineas asked, barely keeping his cool. "Mom and Dad are already working on that. I figured we'd use the time to make this maritime mishap as enjoyable as possible. Come on, let's give you the grand tour."
Phineas led Candace inside the main area.
"Here's our warm and cozy family room, a fully-stocked kitchen, and even indoor plumbing," Phineas showcased.
Candace noticed Ferb was giving a monkey a shower. The very site of it disgusted her.
"Hey, it's in the theme song," Ferb said, clearly just as disgusted as Candace was. "It had to be done."
Candace was beyond furious. "Don't either of you realize that I have a very important party to go to?!"
At this point, Phineas had had enough.
"Ah yes, because all that matters is that Candace goes to some stupid party!" he snapped.
"Hey, it isn't stupid!" Candace argued. "Jeremy's gonna be there!"
"You're just proving my point, Candace! All summer, you've only ever cared about getting what you want, whether it's impressing Jeremy, or getting me and Ferb in trouble for JUST TRYING TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN!"
"Oh, I'm sorry that you're 'fun' is HIGHLY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS!"
"Both of you, BE QUIET!" Ferb suddenly snapped.
That shut both Phineas and Candace up. They turned towards Ferb, who was staring at both of them, angrily. Never had they ever seen him angry before, and this terrified both of them.
"Phineas," Ferb started. "Instead of doing the logical thing and helping Mum and Dad fix the boat, you instead decided it was more important to be spiteful towards Candace, all because of a hissy fit?!"
"Yeah!" Candace butted in.
Ferb turned towards Candace. "But Phineas is right about one thing, Candace! All summer, you only cared about getting what you wanted, and you rarely think about other people!"
Phineas and Candace looked at each other guiltily. They realized that Ferb was right. They were both blinded by selfish desires, and they both made things worse for everyone.
Perry rolled a towel into a whip, and he whipped Doof's butt.
"Ow, that smarts!" he yelled.
Doof tossed one of his shoes at Perry. He missed and hit the monkey wearing the mind-control helmet. The helmet shattered, freeing the monkeys from the brainwashing.
Perry then ziplined down a cord of clothes. When he reached the bottom, he kicked Doof onto a conveyor belt.
The belt carried Doof into a giant washer. The monkeys poured soap into the water, then they hit the start button.
Doof spun in the water at a fast speed.
"Curse you, Perry the Platypus!" he shouted.
The monkeys applied too much soap. The washer overflowed.
Fortunately for Perry, he was able to use an ironing table as a surfboard. He surfed on the wave of pink lava out of the volcano.
Isabella noticed the volcano was about to erupt. She quickly found the others.
"Guys, we gotta go!" she shouted.
The Flynn-Fletcher siblings saw the pink lava flowing out of the volcano.
"Quickly, to the emergency exit!" he shouted.
The quartet ran to the emergency exit. They went down this water slide and landed in a small pool.
They quickly swam out of the pool and ran back to the beach.
Lawrence just finished fixing the boat.
"Nice job, hon," said Linda. "But how are we gonna get the boat off the rock?"
That's when the kids arrived.
"Dad, we gotta get out of here!" Candace yelled.
Everyone got on the boat. Luckily for them, the pink lava got them off the rock. They were now on their way home.
Buford and Baljeet finished making a fake replica of Perry. It wasn't that convincing.
"It's no use," said Baljeet. "We have to tell them the truth!"
That's when the Flynn-Fletcher family returned home.
The moment Candace got out of the car, she ran off screaming, "Hold on Jeremy, I'm coming!"
"Baljeet, you will not believe what we did today," said Phineas.
"There's something I have to tell you first," said Baljeet.
Before he could say anything, though, Perry passed by.
"Oh, there you are, Perry," Phineas said before noticing the fake Perry. "Aw, you made him a little friend. I knew we could count on you, Baljeet."
Baljeet just passed out.
A.N.
Now this was a chapter I didn't think I'd enjoy writing as much as I did.
I initially only went with this episode because it had Carl's theme song, which is heavily underrated if you ask me.
The only real change was a last minute idea. Phineas and Candace's argument, and Ferb getting between them. While they both may have realized their respective mistakes at the moment, this isn't gonna resolve the tension.
I know people out there find it annoying when characters repeat mistakes, but those people fail to understand that it's in human nature to repeat mistakes. I should know that, because I have done that before, and I still do it to this day.
That's all I have to say. Thanks for reading.
