D There's a hundred And four days of summer vacation *
* And school comes along just to end it *
* So the annual problem For our generation *
* Is finding a good way to spend it *
* Like maybe *
* Building a rocket or fighting a mummy *
* Or climbing up the Eiffel Tower *
* Discovering something That doesn't exist d.
Hey!
D Or giving a monkey a shower *
* Surfing tidal waves *
* Creating nano-bots Or locating Frankenstein's brain d.
It's over here!
D Finding a Dodo bird *
* Painting a continent *
* Or driving our sister insane *
Phineas!
D As you can see There's a whole lot of stuff to do *
* Before school starts this fall d.
Come on, Perry!
D So stick with us 'cause Phineas and Ferb Are gonna do it all! *
* So stick with us 'cause Phineas and Ferb Are gonna do it all! d.
Mom, Phineas and Ferb are making a title sequence!
Look at that, my fine feathered friends.
Not a bad bit of work, even if I do say so myself.
Just wait till you see the hidden surprise.
Oh, nothing?
Not even a sausage?
No matter. Wait until Linda and the kids see it.
It'll blow their tiny minds.
Well, not their tiny minds, that's not fair.
You're watching the Uncovery Channel.
We now return to Rrrrr?
Many believe that in the 1950s,
a UFO crash landed in Roswell, New Mexico,
but the scientists had no idea
what the advanced technology was or how it worked.
To find out, they used a process
called reverse engineering.
By closely examining the individual parts,
they were able to build their own craft
and figure out what it does and how it does what it does.
Way to go, reverse engineering!
The reverse engineering craze reached its zenith in 1982
when new wave band Zanzibar released their smash
reverse engineering-related hit, "What do it Do?"
D Do-do-do-do d.
Cool!
Hey, where's Perry?
Hey, Carl, where's Agent P.?
Oh, he came in early today, sir.
He did? Heh. Well, good for him.
Well, I guess we're done. I'm going home.
- Me too? - No, not you.
D Doofenshmirtz Rocket-power Jet Skiff d.
Ha, close but no cigar!
See, Perry the Platypus,
my new jet rocket skiff has more hidden traps than…
Um, uh… What's something with a lot of hidden traps?
Huh, wow, I felt so confident going into that sentence.
Man, OK.
Anyway, you might be wondering why I got such an early start
on my evil scheme today.
You see, my dating life
has been a seemingly endless series of disappointments,
and it all started at a drive-in movie.
- ([dance song playing on radio) - D That's wings, you turkey d.
OK, the coast is clear.
You can come out now.
Ew. It's grody back here.
Well, on the bright side,
you got in for free so we'll just split
the cost of my ticket, right? Right?
You know, I could have gotten in the trunk, like, a block away
instead of when you first picked me up at my house.
Wow, you just love to live in the past, huh?
- Is that, like, a thing with you? - Whatever.
Let's just try to enjoy the rest of the evening.
I am a happy robot. Likey what I hear.
I'm just kidding. That's a thing I do.
Come on, hop in.
D That's wings, you turkey d.
You were listening to:
"That's Wings, You Turkey" by King of Loud.
And here's a new one from Zanzibar,
"What do it Do?"
Oh, turn it up! I love this song!
Eh, it's OK.
I'd say it's in my top seven, eight favorite songs
about reverse engineering.
Makes me want to be a pop star.
Ha. Yeah, right.
And I'm going to rule the world.
Well, why not?
Yeah, like I could do that.
Maybe instead of, you know, the whole world, uh,
start small with the Tri-State Area.
Hey, the movie's starting.
You have to put the speaker thing on the car.
No, no, no, check this out.
I built this awesome device that transmits the movie's sound
in fifth dimensional stereo.
I just plug this in here and voila.
I am a clever robot.
Bing. Bong. Bing. Boing.
- Huh, so can we hold hands now? - Take me home.
Fine, get in the back.
And I never saw her again.
Oddly enough, she did become a pop star later.
I'm still struggling with the whole Tri-State Area thing,
but, you know, the dream is alive.
Anyway, they recently reopened that drive-in,
dredging up all these unpleasant memories for me.
So naturally I built this:
Oh, really? Really.
OK, Mom. I've got to get to Stacy's.
Love ya, bye. Ooh…
Mom. Mom. Mom! Come here!
Look what Phineas and Ferb made in the front yard! Quick!
Oh, yeah, you're in such a…
The boys built that?
Yes! They're always making crazy things like this. See?
What is it?
Well, obviously it's a…
Why don't you ask-slash-bust them?
Ask-slash-bust us what?
Do you mind telling me what this is
and why you built it in our front yard?
Um, we didn't build this, Mom.
Ha. Quick, bust 'em… Wait, you didn't?
Not that I'm aware of, no.
Ferb?
No one is going anywhere until we figure out what this is
and where it came from.
Hm. Let's see what this red button's all about.
Don't touch it.
Nobody touches it. I'm calling your father.
Hey, Ferb. Reverse engineering? Huh, huh?
I know what we're gonna do today.
Think again, bucko.
Mom said no touchy-touchy.
We don't need to touchy-touchy.
We have a portable electronic scanner, gumption,
and another portable electronic scanner.
Well, I'll be watching you closely,
so don't think you can get one…
All done, Ferb?
Cool. Let's get reverse engineering.
And here's the 17th century Whiskershire spring stick
which belonged to the Earl of Whiskershire.
Uh, excuse me for a second. Hello?
Honey, do you know about the thing in the front yard?
Oh, yes, of course I do, honey. I made it myself. Do you like it?
- You made that? - Ahem. Uh, look, darling.
I'm in the middle of something right here
- so I'll have to phone you back. - But…
OK, honey, but don't press the red button on it, will you?
I want to be there when you see it. OK.
Well, OK, but I'm really not very comfortable with…
Cheers, love. Bye.
You know, in retrospect, I probably went a little
overboard with the traps on this thing.
All right, I'm going to try to reach
the release switch for the trap holding your arms.
Then you try to reach the steering wheel
and change our course away from Mount Kilimanjaro.
Interesting trivia:
Kilimanjaro is actually comprised of three volcanic cones.
Kibo, Shira,
and the one that we're about to crash into, Mawenzi.
Cool, huh?
There.
Oh. Oh, that wasn't the release.
Who knows what that did.
This one should be the right… OK, I got it.
Quick.
You know, Perry the Platypus, I just…
A golf course! A golf course has a lot of traps in it.
That's what I should have said.
Well, it turns out your father
is the one responsible for this… Hold on.
- Is it buzzing? - Yes, yes, it is.
OK, stay calm! Just move away from it.
Friends, bullies, Irving, at 0900 hours, a UCO,
or "Unidentified Crashing Object,"
landed in our front yard.
We've reversed engineered a piece by piece duplicate of the strange object.
We have called you here to help us discover
what this object is and how it works.
D What you gonna does When you don't know what it do *
* Do-do-do-do-do *
* It's way too big to be a buckle *
* And too bland to be a belly dancer *
* Or when it tries to guess your height *
'd It's never right unless you're 3'2" *
* When you come or go you can't tell *
* If it waves goodbye or waves hello *
* And in the library it's useless *
* 'Cause it don't care When the books are due *
* Do-do-do-do do-do-do-do *
* It doesn't seem to understand the game is not rock-paper-scissors-spaniel *
* Instead of picking up the trash *
* It started picking Lady Liberty's nose *
* It makes a lousy baseball umpire *
* Or brow-wiper for bongo players *
* And when it walks a dog It never really *
* Pays attention where it goes *
* Do-do-do-do do-do-do *
* Do-do-do-do-do what do it do? d.
Soon, the entire village of Whiskershire
began following the Earl's lead
to of course…
Uh, do forgive me, I-I-I'm awfully sorry. Hello?
Lawrence, you have to come home right now.
This thing is freaking me out.
Linda, my dear, I love you,
but you couldn't have chosen a worse moment to go completely bonkers.
I'm sorry, but I've got to call you back. Bye.
Oh! He doesn't believe me! He said I sound crazy.
Oh, really.
Yeah. It's not like I'm imagining this.
Of course not. Gosh, that must be so frustrating to have
someone not believe you when you're telling the truth.
Oh, you don't know the half of it.
That feeling you have right now?
That's how I feel every single day when you don't believe me
about what Phineas and Ferb are doing.
Now that you finally understand, will you come with me to the backyard?
Why?
Now, keep in mind how Dad just made you feel, OK?
Phineas and Ferb have reverse-engineered
and built an exact duplicate of this thing,
and at this very moment they're trying to figure out what it does
by forcing it to belly dance and work in a library.
Candace, honey, I love you,
but you couldn't have chosen a worse moment to go completely bonkers.
Pierre!
Did anyone look? Hee-hee!
I picture, like, half the people down there looking around like:
"Who called my name?"
You know, Isabella, I sometimes wonder
if it is mere coincidence that it was you and I chosen
to portray the young, happy couple.
"Chosen"?
Baljeet, you charged at that empty chair like a crazed bull.
Ah, here we are, madame and monsieur.
And what can I get for you this afternoon?
Ah, bup, bup.
Give.
Hm. Interesting.
OK, there's been no change in the last ten minutes.
I should call your father.
You know, Mom, I understand.
Obviously you're not gonna come see
what Phineas and Ferb are up to until this is resolved,
so here's what we're going to do.
First of all, no more calling Dad.
If I don't convince you to come home to bust the boys
after a couple of calls, I go get you.
But what if he doesn't want to come with me?
Did that ever stop me?
This statue, which stands outside the Whiskershire Rectory,
still holds the Earl's actual spring stick, yes.
The spring stick is used as such:
It's placed in front of you so as to spring
the hidden mousetraps and avoid capture.
- Now, some suggest… - Move it, Fletcher!
Oh, any questions?
The quaint town of Whiskershire.
It's a great place to fly willy-nilly through,
manacled to a rocket skiff this time of year.
Friends, bullies, Irving,
we've reached our conclusion as to the purpose of the object
that landed in our front yard.
We believe that it is an anti-romance rocket
created to scan for and then eliminate romantic elements
from potentially amorous situations.
Oh.
So it's not a wedgie machine?
This is going to be awesome, Stace!
So when they get home, I'm going to drag both of them
into the backyard and it will be a busting feeding frenzy!
D Busting feeding frenzy Stay out of the water d.
Wait… Wait a minute. Perry the Platypus, where are you…?
- Oh, curse you, Perry the Platypus. - D Agent P *
* Busting feeding frenzy Stay out of the water *
* It's a busting feeding frenzy Stay out of the water *
* Oh, yeah *
* I like the way the sunlight Glints off your chrome d.
Wow.
Two anti-romance rockets falling in love.
That's what I call "ironing."
D It's a busting Feeding frenzy Stay out of the water *
* It's a busting Feeding frenzy Stay out of the water d.
There. Tell me that's not terrifying.
- I'm so sorry I doubted you. - D Down, down, down at the… d.
What? Candace, where did that thing go?
Hm. I don't know.
But, Mom, you and Dad have to come to the backyard
with me right now and see what the boys are…
Never mind.
I wonder what would make someone want to build something
to destroy romance in the first place.
Well, if you reverse-engineer the human heart,
you're bound to find love at its core.
And gross, smooshy red stuff.
Yes, love and gross, smooshy red stuff.
And ventricles.
Actually, I think ventricles is already included
in "gross, squishy red stuff."
Yeah.
Ah, a nice, relaxing day at the beach.
Nothing but the waves, the sun, and peace and quiet.
- Buford drank all the sunscreen! - Coconut's my favorite flavor.
Who wants to play volleyball?
I spoke too soon.
Oh, Candace, look.
There's a sandcastle-building contest over there.
You used to love those.
- You should sign up. - Yeah!
Wait. Ugh, why bother?
With these two here, there'll be no competition.
They'll build a real skyscraper out of sand
with a working elevator
and window washers and a parking garage with flying cars.
They'll totally steal my thunder.
Actually, there's something else we may be doing today.
With a minimal amount of research,
Ferb's found out that the Lost City of Atlantis
is probably located right off the coast of Danville.
Ooh! I hope I finally see a real life seahorse!
And get my underwater-equestrian patch.
I'd like to see a shark.
I hear they're the toughest fish in the ocean.
I got in the car when your mom stopped for gas.
I'm just happy to be here.
Wow.
Ooh, and I brought my camera
to take pictures of all the action.
Guess we know what we're doing today.
Hey, where's Perry?
D Do-wa-doobie-doobie Do-wa-doobie-doobie *
* Do-wa… d Thank you. Thank you very much
* Agent P. d.
Ah, Agent P., Dr. Doofenshmirtz has been to every plant nursery
in town buying up little seedlings
and now he's out and about in his blimp.
Find out what he's up to.
Carl?
Oh, heh-heh. Sir.
Are those my old mustache clippings?
Some of them.
Sorry you had to see that, Agent P.
Please find out what Doofenshmirtz is up to.
Hey, Mom, we're gonna go find the Lost City of Atlantis.
Be back later.
What imaginations.
Mom… Ooh, they're leaving.
Mom, get out the turret molds,
we've got a sandcastle to build.
OK, everybody, follow me.
And remember, if you get lost, the surface is up.
Wow, is that the Titanic over there?
Look, it's Amelia Earhart!
The Tomb of Poseidon!
Focus, guys.
We're looking for Atlantis, remember?
Which way, Ferb?
Take Phytoplankton Road north.
Hold it.
That one's for my wallet.
Why is the water always so warm next to you?
I'm so glad you want to join the contest.
This'll be fun.
If we're gonna do this, we're gonna do it right.
Here, fill these buckets with water.
I'm going to go find some sand.
Lunchtime, my little plant friends.
Yes, you like your water, don't you?
Everyone gets H2O.
Even you, little algae. Oh!
Oh, Perry the Platypus,
you landed in my fertilizer trap.
Look at you.
You've potting soiled yourself.
So I got to thinking,
why use animals or insects to aid
in my evil schemes when there are all these
shiftless, do-nothing plants just laying around?
So I've created a super-evil growth formula that when sprayed
on my plants will turn them into thorny, prickly minions.
With them under my control,
I will rule the Tri-State Area with an iron fist
and a green thumb.
And if you don't mind, I'm going upwind of you.
We're almost there, guys.
Turn right at kelp.
These skulls are pretty cool. Hey!
It's OK, Irving.
You still have the greatest camera ever made.
- Where? - Right here.
The human mind.
You can take pictures with your mind and store them in your memory. Try it.
OK. Click.
Well, I guess that worked.
Sea horses!
You can get your underwater-equestrian patch now.
Um, that was a joke.
They're way too small to ride.
Not if you scoop up a whole bunch of 'em. Giddy up!
Hey, guys, look what I found.
A door with ancient runes telling us how to open it.
Forget that. Step aside.
Or that.
D Atlantis *
* Submerged city you enchant us d.
Click.
D Oh, Poseidon, please grant us *
* Entry to the city of Atlantis *
* Atlantis is a city At the bottom of the sea *
* It's soggier now than it used to be *
* 'Cause it used to be above Now it's down below *
* It's the waterlogged City of Atlantis *
* Every room in every house Has an oceanic view *
* If you shoo away a whale Or a manatee or two *
* There is not a better, wetter Place for you to go *
* Than the waterlogged City of Atlantis *
* Well, the forecast says The humidity is high *
* It's not your kind of place If you want to stay dry *
* You can always have tea With a sea anemone *
* In the waterlogged City of Atlantis *
* In the waterlogged city In the waterlogged city *
* In the waterlogged city d.
And everything is so pretty.
D In the waterlogged City of Atlantis d.
OK, everyone, move in closer
while I put my camera on a timer.
I think he's taking this camera thing to a weird level.
Say "cheese." Click.
We are so privileged to be here in this strange
and beautiful place.
To think that the greatest minds in history
have been searching for Atlantis for thousands of years.
Those guys are punks.
We should bring this up to the surface for the whole world to see.
Oh, yes, that is a great idea.
Rrr. This is the third time it's fallen.
I used to be good at this.
Now I'm Frank Lloyd Wrong. When did it get so hard?
Oh, man. This is super-simple.
Ugh. I hate this stupid contest. I quit.
Hon, will you relax? This is supposed to be fun.
Hey, Candace. Hey, Mrs. Flynn-Fletcher.
Jeremy.
Hi.
Uh, heh-heh, so, what brings you
to the magnificent shores of Danville?
Well, I'm the judge of the contest this year.
- No way. - Way.
I'm excited to see what you two come up with,
but you'd better get started.
Time's a-tickin'.
Mom, why are you just standing there?
Sandcastles don't build themselves. Chop, chop.
You see, Perry the Platypus,
your efforts to stop me have been fruitless.
"Fruitless," you like that? That's a good one.
Next time you'll "leaf" me alone. Heh-heh-heh!
Yes, Perry the Platypus, I can sure be a "fungi."
Get it? "Fungi," plural of fungus?
It's a… Eh.
Yeah.
Anyway. Grow, my green minions, and get him!
Hey, wait, not me! Not me. Hey, wait! Don't… Don't be fresh!
I gotta shut this thing off.
This has become a thorny situation, I…
Four weather balloons and helium canisters for underwater delivery.
That's us.
Aren't you kids a little young to be discovering Atlantis?
Yes, yes, we are.
Well, good for you.
All right, guys, let's get to work.
Oh, no! Jeremy's almost here.
Help, Perry the Platypus, help!
Ha-ha. Yes, yes, Perry, you got it!
That's it, you're free.
Now, come over here and… Wait, where are you going?
Perry the Platypus…!
OK, guys.
Tie the balloons to the four corners of Atlantis.
Looks good, Ferb.
It's working.
Woo-hoo! Yes!
Lookin' good, guys.
- Looks kinda… - Cool.
This is horrible!
Jeremy's going to take one look at this and think I'm a big loser-y loser.
Oh, honey, Jeremy's smart enough to separate his feelings
about your sandcastle from his feelings about you.
OK, uh, last but not least, we have the Flynn-Fletchers.
Well, it's not perfect, but we had fun doing it,
so I give you our sandcastle.
Holy molly, Candace!
I know, I know. It's not great, but we did our best.
Are you kidding?
It's amazing!
You win, you win.
I'm going to get your blue ribbon.
Huh?
I have to say, I think Jeremy can't separate his feelings
for you from his feelings for this sandcastle.
He must like you more than you thought.
Hee-hee. I know.
Let's go get that blue ribbon.
Perry the Platypus, you came back and saved me!
Thank you, Perry the Platy…
What? Uh…? What is…?
I'm having an allergic reaction to these stupid plants.
Curse you, inadequate immune system!
What happened?
Did anybody see it?
Why did it go back down?
Perhaps the Lost City of Atlantis wanted to stay lost.
At least I've got the pictures in my head.
Hey! I had my thumb in front of the lens the whole time!
Aw, now all I'll remember is my thumb.
