Phineas and Ferb s03e08 Episode Script
Ask a Foolish Question (15 min)
by ashirogi27 Hey, boys.
Want some fat-free whole-grain granola bars? They're still warm from the oven.
Whole-grain and fat-free? You know us so well.
Yes.
Yes, I do.
You know, Mom's always doing nice things for us.
I think it's time that we did something nice for Mom! Let's see We couldâ No Orâ Uh-uh.
Huh Hey, Phineas! What'cha doin'? We're trying to think of a nice thing that we can do for Mom.
Any ideas? You can clean up the whole house for her! Or, you can get her a classic wooden slide rule from Analog Emporium.
How do I know what adults like? What am I, a computer? That's it! I know what we're gonna do today.
We're gonna make a super computer! What? Your mom wants a super computer? What is she? Some kind of nerd? No, we're gonna ask the computer what to do for Mom.
Slide rule! I gave it to you on a silver platter! Okay, I'm going out.
I've got a coupon for a free hair styling from this new salon.
I'm gonna freshen up my look.
Granola bars are in the kitchen! Ugh.
Maybe I'll feed mine to Perry.
Hey, where is Perry? Good morning, Agent P.
The entire Tri-State Area's becoming riddled with holes.
Also, numerous light beams have been shot from Doofenshmirtz's building.
Either he's having some sort of a rave, or he's the one behind all those holes.
Investigate at once! Good luck, Agent P! (Song: Buildin' a Supercomputer) We're buildin' a supercomputer in the backyard And singing about it in G We worked up the plans so it can't be that hard To make a trillion-terabyte memory Our song is synchronic, not the least bit ironic What you hear is exactly what you see We're buildin' a supercomputer And singing just what we're doin' Which is buildin' a supercomputer And over-explainin' just what you're viewin' All the panels are screwed in As our song is concludin' What you hear is exactly what you see And that's the story of how you made me.
He's cute! That's not it That's not it.
That's not it That is not it.
That's not it.
Welcome, Perry the Platypus.
How do you like your trap? That's super quick drying cement.
See? Solid as a, uh I dunno, some rock-like substance.
Cement, maybe! Now, with you safely trapped, I introduce you to the Metal-Unearth-inator! All right, gang, it's ready to go.
We just need to perform an initial scan of the Tri-State Area so it has enough data to work with.
Scanning, Tri-State-Area.
Between that and the random laser drills, this is like the second best mid-day scrapyard rave ever! Hold still and Hello, Hospital Workers Union.
Get out of my mind! Gathering data from all objects and habitants.
Computing logical outcome of all events.
Done.
Okay, computer.
Are you ready to answer any question? Yes, my data is complete.
My logic, infallible.
What's 2 + 2? Four.
Perhaps you should just count on your fingers.
Sorry.
What's the square root of 72,361? Try something more unusual.
What are the names of the girls in my Fireside Girls troop? Gretchen, Adyson, Holly, Katie, Milly, and Ginger.
Wow, he's good! On a multi-valve engine with variable timing, how can I isolate an exhaust valve leak at the stem seal without removing the can shaft? Coat the engine with tomato paste and the leak will reveal itself.
He's right! Uh What size pants do I wear? Boys, husky, extra large.
He's right! Impressive! Well, you seem to be working perfectly, so Computer, what is the nicest thing we can do for Mom today? Computing Done.
Get a gallon of industrial marking dye and a leaf blower.
Tie balloons onto them.
Then, go to the top of Danville Hill, and at 2:37 p.
m.
, release them into the wind.
Really? Nothing could make your mother happier today.
You turned down slide rule for this? I don't know, Baljeet.
From what we've seen so far, I think a little blind faith is called for.
You know nothing about women.
Dude, it's over.
Okay, there must be something bustable going on out hereâ What is that? I am a super computer.
I can answer any question that you could possibly ask.
Did my brothers make you? Yes.
Yes, they did.
Okay.
So, let me think of a question.
Hmm How many states in the United States? Fifty.
What goes on top of pancakes? Butter and syrup.
How do you pronounce the "J" in "Jalapeño"? It makes the "H" sound.
I knew that.
How many fingers behind my back? Two.
Okay, that's just freaky.
And, bustable! All I gotta do is But it never works! No matter what I try, whatever the boys do just disappears before Mom looks! If only there was some way to guarantee Mom would see what the boys have done? What? Another one? Why are there so many helmets buried in the Tri-State Area? Ah, onto the pile you go.
So, Perry the Platypus, I hope you didn't come here because of all the holes, because the Metal-Unearth-inator is not even my final plan.
May I present to you my real plan? The All-Purpose-inator! You've heard of a man's man? Well, this is an inator's inator.
It does everything! Of course, once I activate it, it will make all my other inators obsolete, but, uh I guess that's progress.
Unfortunately, I ran into a little snag.
After putting all the final touches on my All-Purpose-inator, I took a step back to admire my handiwork.
Victory was finally within my grasp.
All I needed to do is turn the thing on.
Then, fate made a cruel joke.
The ignition key fell off my balcony! Nooooooo!!!!! Finally spotted it when I could tell he was laughing.
You know, that way gophers do.
And there was no way I was going to go all the way down there to get the key.
I've got a schedule to keep.
So, I decided to build the Metal-Unearth-inator to track down and dig up the key so I can fire up my All-Purpose-inator so I can take over the Tri-State Area.
Somehow.
You know, you can put the red king onâ Hey, you're not even listening.
But then, when I bring Mom into the backyard, it's gone and Mom never sees it.
So here's my question, Mr.
Supercomputer.
How can I get my Mom to see what my brothers have done? Elementary.
You must build a device that makes your Mom see what your brothers have done.
What kind of device? Follow my instructions to the letter and when you have finished, I am 100% certain that your Mom will see what your brothers have done.
Okay.
Where do I start? You are going to need a toaster, a number two screwdriver, some electrical tape Helmet Helmet Another helmet What happened here? A chisel? Well, it's no key but at least we're getting closer in size.
A hammer? Why would someone bury a hammer? Well, onto the pile you go.
I'm closing in on the key.
I can feel it.
Perry the Platypus, how did you get out? Well, two can play at that game.
Uh, wait a second.
Hold on.
Not this, not this.
There was a whole bunch of 'em just a couple of minutes ago.
A-ha! Jackpot! Now, Perry the Platypus, meet your doom! Keep up, Buford, it's almost 2:37.
Hey, I don't have balloons to lighten my load.
I would have walked.
Three, two, one Liftoff! There they go.
Industrial orange marker dye and a leaf blower.
Guaranteed happiness for Mom.
Somehow.
Let's follow and see what happens.
This way, everybody! Sure, now you put me down.
There, finished.
Did I put it together right? You built it perfectly, Candace.
Your Mom will definitely see what the boys have done.
And you finished it just in time, because in two seconds your Mom is going to pull up.
Wow! You're right about everything! I can't lose! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mo Uh.
I'm having a bad day.
Uh, never mind.
Come on, come on, come on! So, not so tough without your mace.
Now, I have the upper hand.
Prepare to meet your doomâ Eh.
You throw your helmet at me? That's so lame, Perry theâ Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Precisely on schedule.
Hello, gopher! It's over here! It's over here! See? Hi, Candace! You know, Candace most days, this is just a little disturbing.
But today, with the free coupon, and this whole awful thing with my hair And the gopher lets go now.
If only I hadâ Huh? My hair looks so cute! I guess it just needed some time to settle.
But, but, butâ Buuuuuu It's so great when something nice happens to you, especially when you weren't expecting it.
What just happened? We did something nice for Mom.
We fixed her bad hairdo.
Apparently.
You did that? Yup.
You, did that? That's right.
With a little supercomputer help.
So, when Mom looked in the mirror on that thing I built, she saw what you had done? That's right.
And by the way, nice use of the accordion arm.
Oh! I hate computers! Hey, where'd the computer go? Ooh, the key detection alarm! I forgot I installed that.
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, hereâ Wait! I knew this was going to happen.
Uh-oh.
Well, at least I found the key to theâ Nice! Curse you, Perry theâ Oh, why does everything explode so easily? Yeah I knew that was gonna happen.
Want some fat-free whole-grain granola bars? They're still warm from the oven.
Whole-grain and fat-free? You know us so well.
Yes.
Yes, I do.
You know, Mom's always doing nice things for us.
