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 63
Escape from Phineas Tower
Phineas and Ferb were visiting Lawrence at his antique store.
"Nice to see you boys down here at the shop," said Lawrence.
One thing in particular caught Phineas' eye. It looked like an ancient vault of sorts.
"What's that thing?" Phineas asked.
"This?" Lawrence replied. "It's an escape chamber from an old Vaudeville show. In the old days, men would go into this thing and pretend to be locked inside, then they'd 'escape', to the amazement of the crowd."
To prove his point, he locked himself in the vault and tried to get out. It wasn't working as well as he hoped.
"You need help, Dad?" Phineas asked.
"No, no," Lawrence assured. "I just need to…"
The door opened to reveal not only Lawrence, but also Ferb.
Phineas turned to where he thought Ferb was. Ferb wasn't there.
How did he…? Phineas asked himself.
"Well, I have bottle cops to polish," Lawrence said, walking away.
"Dude, I know what we're gonna do today," Phineas told Ferb.
Candace was asleep on a hammock in the backyard.
Linda put a sticky note on her head telling her she was leaving, but Candace didn't notice.
Phineas, Ferb, and an entire construction force came in with loud vehicles, but that didn't deter Candace.
But despite all of that, there was one thing Candace noticed. "Where's Perry?"
Perry was in Phineas and Ferb's room.
He put on his hat, then grabbed a box.
He jumped into the box, and landed in his lair.
On screen, Carl was sitting at a table wearing nice clothes and looking through a menu. Monogram was acting like a waiter.
Then he noticed Perry. The screen zoomed in so it only showed Monogram's face.
"As you may know, this is International Good Manners Day," he explained. "Perhaps, not ironically, Doofenshmirtz has decided to create a device that causes rampant rudeness. Take care of it if you please."
Perry left to do his mission.
"I think he calls it 'the Rudeinator'," Carl theorized.
"What does that make you?" Monogram asked. "Nostradomus?"
Isabella, Buford, Baljeet, and Django all gathered at the Flynn-Fletcher backyard.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls," Phineas presented. "My brother and I are here today to give you a thrilling display of escapement arts as we attempt to extricate ourselves from this…" He gestured to what he and Ferb just built. "The most complicated trap ever devised by man or child. A computer-controlled tower so fiendishly clever that its blueprints had to be viewed in a smoked mirror to avoid driving its creators insane."
"Wow, he's selling it hard," Isabella remarked.
"But if you designed the tower," said Baljeet. "Will you not know every way to get out?"
"We programmed the computer to learn as we go," Phineas explained. "So it's conceivable we could be trapped in there forever. Coming with?"
"Yes!" Isabella and Django said in unison.
"No!" Baljeet said at the same time.
"It sounds ill-advised," said Buford.
"That's okay," Phineas assured. "You two can stay out here and be the cheering section with Candace."
He gestured to Candace, who was still asleep.
"But what if you do not come out?" asked Baljeet.
"If we aren't out in fifteen minutes, you can smash the machine and rescue us, just like the old days."
"Sounds like a party," Buford smiled, bringing out a mallet.
Phineas turned to Ferb. "Ferb, start the timer please."
Ferb pulled the lever, starting the timer.
Buford and Baljeet synchronized the timer to their watches.
With that, Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, and Django got on the lift which would bring them to the start.
"Women and children and the faint of heart may wish to leave now," Phineas said like it was a Vaudeville show. "So we bid you adieu, and we'll see you in a few minutes… or not at all."
Once he was done saying that, the four were brought inside the tower.
"So, legally speaking, what is our liability here?" asked Baljeet.
Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated
Perry entered the apartment.
The first thing he saw was a mat that read, 'Please Wipe Feet'.
Perry knew where this was going, but he went along. He stepped on the mat and wiped his feet on it…
Then the mat opened under him, making him fall through the floor. He came out trapped in a cat statue, with him serving as the head.
Doof showed up and put a leash on the collar.
"A-ha!" he said. "I wanted to say something clever like 'cat got your tongue' but I never figured that out. You see, since we were young, my brother, Roger, was always better at the whole 'manners and etiquette' thing. Anyway, today is International Good Manners Day and we got a visiting dignitary, the Ambassador from England, only the most etiquetty country in the world, and when Roger is introducing her, I'm going to zap him with my Rudeinator. Yes, that's what I'm calling it."
Perry rolled his eyes.
"It makes whoever it zaps intolerably rude," Doof explained. "He'll cause an international incident, and in all the confusion, I'll slip in and take over. How does that explain the catsuit? Well, we're going to be at City Hall, watching the fireworks, you and me, and I figured a platypus in a fedora might attract too much attention. See? I'm always thinking."
Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, and Django found themselves in a large, empty room.
"Good day to you, Tower," Phineas greeted. "We're ready to begin."
"Welcome, children," said the tower's automated voice. "We're going to have so much fun. Put on your coats and stay a while."
Automated hands appeared out of nowhere and tied up all the kids.
"Strait-jackets," Phineas remarked. "Classic. Ready?"
Ferb nodded.
Phineas jumped upside-down, allowing Ferb to grab his feet with his mouth.
"Now shake me out," Phineas ordered.
Ferb shook his head back and forth, releasing Phineas.
Phineas then untied Ferb's jacket, releasing him.
After that, the boys untied Isabella and Django.
Their victory didn't last, though. The second everyone was released, chains came out of nowhere and grabbed the kids.
"This will be fun," Phineas remarked as the chains pulled them into the air.
The kids were brought into another room, this one looking like a dungeon in a medieval castle.
"I don't know, Ferb," Phineas said jokingly. "I think we should file this under 'Dungeon Escape'."
As he said that, he somehow managed to pull a file out from under his shirt. He used the file to release himself, then everyone else.
Once they were all free, they escaped through the vent.
Doof made it to City Hall just in time.
"Here we are," he said, taking one of the front-row seats. He made Perry sit in the seat next to him. "Sit right here, Perry the Catypus. I just came up with that. Totally makes up for earlier."
Roger got on stage.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to City Hall on this fine first day of National Etiquette Week," he greeted.
The crowd applauded.
"I do love proper etiquette," said someone in the crowd.
Perry realized he could move the tail of the cat statue with his own tail. He used it to pick the locks on his suit.
The kids found themselves in a room filled with tiny doors, and multiple keys in front of them.
"We're not fitting through any of those doors," Phineas remarked. "But maybe that one."
He pointed at a big door on the ceiling.
"But how do we get up there?" asked Django.
Ferb took some of the keys and inserted them into keyholes. He climbed the keys like they were rungs of a ladder.
"Ferb, you're a genius," said Phineas.
The others climbed after Ferb. They went through the door on the ceiling.
The kids climbed another ladder into the next room.
"Nice warm-up," the tower remarked. "But can you escape the relentless pull of gravity?"
It felt like the room turned upside-down as the force of gravity started pulling the kids the way they were planning to go. They all held on as tight as they could, but in the end, they let go of the ladder and started plummeting downwards.
Isabella and Django screamed in fear, while Phineas just cheered with excitement. While Ferb didn't show it, he, too, felt excited like Phineas did.
There were eleven minutes left on the timer. Baljeet was entertaining himself by stacking cards onto Candace.
"It would be terrible if they did not come out," he said with worry.
Buford was sharpening his hammer.
"I'm counting on it," he said with a smirk.
"And to speak further on this topic," Roger went on. "It is my great pleasure to introduce the Ambassador from England, the most ettiquetty country in the world…"
"Told you," Doof said to Perry.
"And my personal friend," Roger continued.
Doof pushed a button, activating the Rudeinator.
"This unbelievable windbag right here," Roger added, his smile now turning to a frown.
The crowd gasped.
"Oh, man!" Roger shouted, his demeanor now completely altered. "On and on and on in the limo over here. 'Manners are so important'."
Doof turned to where Perry should've been. "Can you believe this, Perry the…?" He realized Perry was gone. He sighed. "Oh for pete sake, I told you to go before we left. Just bring me some popcorn, that's all I can say."
"What a pompous know-it-all you are!" Roger shouted.
By this point, the crowd was angry.
"That's it, I want a recall!" one demanded.
"Recall! Recall! Recall!" the crowd chanted.
"It's working," Doof said to himself.
Phineas noticed the pit getting more narrow the longer they fell.
"I got it," he said. "Guys, hold hands."
Ferb and Isabella grabbed onto Phineas' hands. Django grabbed Ferb and Isabella's other hands.
They all stuck their feet against the walls. After a moment, they stopped falling.
"Come on, Tower," said Phineas. "Is that the best you can throw at us?"
He used his foot to open the hatch, and they all crawled out.
The quartet crawled through a tunnel to the next room.
"Oh, so special," the tower sarcastically remarked. "I don't give a flying buttress."
Both Isabella and Django started to gain a bad feeling.
"Something is definitely wrong here," Django remarked.
"Yeah," Isabella agreed. "You'd think they'd program this place to be more polite."
The kids made it out of the tunnel. The boys were instantly strapped to a giant log. Isabella and Django were strapped onto another log.
"You think you're so sharp," the tower said, still snarky. "I'm gonna show you something sharper."
The conveyor belt started to carry the log to a buzzsaw.
"Okay, something is seriously wrong with this place," said Django. "How do we get out of this one?"
Isabella took off her shoes and untied the restraints with her toes. She then proceeded to untie Django with her toes.
"Now's not the time to show off!" he shouted.
Once he was free, Django and Isabella quickly released Phineas and Ferb normally.
"Woo, that was a close one," Phineas remarked. "It was almost like the room was trying to kill us."
"Uh, Phineas, I'm starting to think it is," said Isabella. "Did you hear what the tower was saying earlier?"
"Well, now that you mention it, the tower did act a little meaner after the bottomless pit trap."
That's when the tower started to laugh maniacally.
The kids hurried to the next room.
Play "Breaking Out"
I used to get stuck on the simplest of things
The kids ran down a hallway while dodging darts coming from the walls.
I never tried flying or spreading my wings
In the next room, Phineas adjusted a radio frequency while Ferb listened to it with a pair of headphones. When they were at the right frequency, the door opened.
The four ran out, right before they could get impaled by a bunch of spikes.
What I want to convey is that I'm getting away
The four went down a very narrow tunnel. They had to lay on these carts and push themselves against the walls to advance.
'Cause tonight I'm breaking out
The kids found themselves chained in another dungeon. This time, the chains were file-proof.
Phineas noticed a skeleton and used one of the bones to pick the lock of his chains. He then did the same with everyone else.
I went from park to neutral
Next, they were tied to a train track, and a train was heading straight for them. Luckily, all they had to do was get on their feet and hop away.
Now I'm shifting to drive
Then, they ended up in a maze with giant balls that could crush them if they weren't careful. That was a hard one to navigate.
'Cause you gotta depart if you want to arrive
No more biding my time with these eternal rhymes
After that, the four were locked in a cell with nothing but a baseball to entertain themselves with.
While the boys just bounced the ball onto the wall in front of them, Django noticed the door had a loose hinge.
He took the ball and threw it onto the hinge, breaking it.
'Cause tonight I'm breaking out
From the things that were holding me back
The kids then crossed a lava pit by leaping from rock to rock.
In every wall, if you look, there's a crack
After the lava pit was a shark pit. They used giant stilts to get across that one.
In the end, that's what life's all about
When the wall's closing in
You know it's time to begin
The next thing they knew, they were in a room filled with trash. The walls were closing in.
They used a giant metal bar to hold the walls back.
Breaking out
End "Breaking Out"
There was less than half-a-minute left on the timer, and no one made it out left.
Baljeet's worry started to increase. "What if they don't make it out?"
That's when Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, and Django all came out of the ground.
"Made it," said Phineas. "That was close."
There were fifteen seconds left on the timer, meaning they were just in time.
Buford and Baljeet both cheered and hugged their friends.
"Was it scary?" Baljeet asked.
"Do I still get to smash the tower?" Buford added.
"Oh, go ahead," Django replied. "That was the most stressful thing ever."
"I'm not done with you yet," the tower said.
The walls of the tower opened, revealing a glass dome that trapped Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, and Django.
"Wow," Buford remarked. "I thought I had a bad attitude."
Perry made it to Doof's apartment. He simply plugged the inator, summoned his hang glider, and flew away.
"And so's your sister!" Roger continued, angering the audience even more.
"This is working better than I imagined," Doof remarked.
"Miss High-and-Mighty English Manners Person!" Roger went on. "I've got one thing to say to you, and only one thing!" He pointed at the giant mole on the Ambassador's nose. "That's some…"
Doof smiled. Here it comes.
But it didn't come. Roger and the Ambassador just started laughing.
"Show we just put on," Roger finished.
"You see, your wonderful mayor and I agreed in the limousine to put on this little play for your edification," the Ambassador explained.
"No, no, no!" Doof shouted, pushing the remote over and over.
Thanks to the plug, the Rudeinator exploded.
"Indeed," the Ambassador continued. "For what would be without manners?"
"Four more years! Four more years!" the crowd cheered.
"Curse you, Perry the Platypus," Doof muttered to himself before a realization hit him. "Wait, if they were faking it, what did my ray hit?"
"It looks like you losers are still trapped," the tower laughed. "Might as well change your address 'cause you're gonna be receiving your pension here."
The kids could hear the air getting sucked into the tower.
"Oops, activated my vacuum circuits," the tower said sarcastically. "You dummies don't need air, do you?"
"I'm feeling an odd mix of pride and mortal terror," Phineas remarked.
"Don't worry," Buford assured, readying his hammer. "I'll get you out in just a second."
He hit the glass, but it didn't break.
"Well, at least you tried," Phineas assured.
"What are friends for?" Buford asked half-jokingly.
"'Friends'?" the tower reacted. "I've been programmed to trap you and your friends."
The dome expanded a little, trapping Buford and Baljeet as well.
"Do me a favor," said Baljeet. "Next time you want to create a fiendishly clever computer-controlled contraption, call one of your other friends."
An idea popped into Phineas' head. "That's it. Tower, you were programmed to trap me, Ferb, and our friends, but we have friends all over Danville."
"Is that so?" the tower asked, expanding its dome to all of Danville.
"In fact, we have friends all over the Tri-State Area," Phineas added.
"Well, aren't we popular?" the tower remarked, expanding its dome yet again.
"Plus, there was that small matter of circumnavigating the globe," Ferb continued. "Tokyo, Paris, Nepal, we have friends all over the world."
"Alright then," the tower said, its dome now covering the atmosphere.
"In fact, we have an alien friend named Meap," Phineas finished. "He's from another planet. Really, we have friends all over the galaxy."
"A small matter for one such as me," the tower said as it flew off into space. "You will never escape!"
"That works for me," Baljeet said, leaving the backyard.
"They only have mallets so big," Buford remarked.
The gang went inside for a snack.
"So, the entire galaxy," Phineas thought. "That enough elbow room for you?"
"Well, for today at least," Ferb replied.
An alien armada had finally reached the Milky Way Galaxy after two millenia.
"Battle stations, we begin our assault in three, two…" the leader commanded.
Then all the ships hit a dome.
The leader groaned. "Anyone have a mallet?"
Thanks for reading.
