Phineas and Ferb s05e17 Episode Script
Act Your Age
1 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 Hey! Or giving a monkey a shower Surfing tidal waves Creating nano-bots or locating Frankenstein's brain It's over here! Finding a dodo bird Painting a continent Or driving our sister insane Phineas! As you can see, there's a whole lot of stuff to do before school starts this fall Come on, Perry.
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! Mom, Phineas and Ferb are making a title sequence! - Hey, I'm Dan.
- And I'm Swampy.
We're the co-creators of Phineas and Ferb.
- The show that you're probably watching right now.
- Hopefully.
We get letters from kids all over the world asking us questions - about the show, that we - No, that's, that's not actually true.
We don't get a lot of actual physical "written on paper" letters.
- What we get is a lot of emails - No, no, that's true.
- Digital, electronic.
- Yeah, actually all of the emails we've ever received fit on this flash drive right here.
But that's not as impressive as No, this stack of, of letters here is much more impressive.
This is a prop, though, made mostly of, uh, - foam, fiberglass, that kind of thing.
- Yeah.
Not to say that we don't actually get letters from people, physical letters, uh, like, uh, this one is for, for instance, from, from Becky.
This is a question we get all the time.
"Are we ever going to see Perry the Platypus get a girlfriend?" BOTH: No.
- No, not gonna happen.
- No.
Here's another one.
This one is from, uh, Donny.
It says, "Are we ever going to see Phineas and Ferb as teenagers?" - Yes.
Yes we are.
- In fact, we're gonna see it right now.
This episode is set 10 years in the future, so don't let it confuse you.
Actually to, to avoid confusion, let's, uh, let's just synchronize our calendars right BOTH: Now.
[SIGHS.]
I'm running out of time, Ferb.
I gotta choose a school.
Do I stay local or go abroad? Trade school? Art school? Come on, Ferb.
Help me make a decision.
Get in the booth.
Oh, cool, all my college acceptance letters.
I guess we're gonna let fate decide this one.
[GAME SHOW MUSIC PLAYS.]
Okay.
Kjobstaad Academy.
Uh, which one was that again? Mmm Great Physics department.
Norway.
Hmm.
Don't feel I'm ready for those cold winters.
[GAME SHOW MUSIC PLAYS.]
Okay, Comedy Traffic School.
Well, if it's fate [GAME SHOW MUSIC PLAYS.]
Yeah, things seemed a lot easier when we were young and just waiting for our voices to drop.
[IN DEEP VOICE.]
Hey, guys! [COUGHS.]
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Oh! [IN REGULAR VOICE.]
Something was caught in my throat! So, still trying to figure out where to go to school? Working on it.
I was just giving Buford some pointers on collegiate life.
Since I've already graduated and been accepted as a professor, I could pull some strings and get him into my school.
Just think, Buford, you could be my student! - I would be the boss of you! - Don't get too excited.
I'm going to film school.
I'm concentrating on tragedies.
The story of a struggling orphan's transcendental search for meaning in a post-apocalyptic society.
- It sounds pretentious.
- Thank you.
So, Ferb, you're off to school in England? Yeah, he's going to Camford on Oxbury.
[CHUCKLES.]
"Camford on Oxbury.
" - It sounds like a wizard school.
- It's not a wizard school.
- Well, there is some wizarding.
- Phineas, why don't you just go there? Or why not go where Candace goes to school? Law school? I don't know.
And that concludes my dissertation on modern investigative techniques for establishing proof of guilt with or without physical evidence.
[APPLAUSE.]
Spectacular! I've never had a student convince me of something so completely baseless before! Now I feel like busting someone.
Yeah, I don't know if Candace's school is the place for me.
Forget the booth.
I'm gonna go with my gut.
It's between these two, Danville U and TriState State.
Both really good schools.
Looks like I have some thinking to do.
Hey, the epic struggle of a triangle-headed boy to choose between two schools.
- Pretentious alert.
- And again, thank you.
[BEEPING.]
Sir! It's the old Evil Scientist Alert System.
It's showing Inator activity - on a Doctor Dooferdsmits.
- Doofenshmirtz? Great googly moogly! I thought he'd give up his evil ways when we placed him as a high school science teacher.
Well, it's too bad Monogram isn't around to see this.
IRVING: Well, sir, he's gone to a better place.
Yeah.
Oh, what the heck! I'm gonna call him.
[DIALING.]
- Monogram.
- How've you been, sir? Carl! I'm great! Bora Bora really is a better place.
- How've you been, man? - CARL: I've been well.
Guess who's just set off the Inator alert? - Doofenshmirtz? - Yeah.
[CHUCKLES.]
Just like old times.
- Well, tell him "hi" from me.
- Of course! [BEEPING.]
Agent P.
No, it's not bowling night! It's Doofenshmirtz.
He's activated the Inator alert system.
We think he may have returned to evil! [MUSIC.]
So I heard Isabella is off to TriState State.
Oh, wow, really? Huh.
I haven't seen much of her this summer.
Why do parents buy such weird food? Everything's light, low, non, free or diet.
- So she's leaving? - Yes.
Huh, I always thought the two of you would end up together.
I wish! I am so in the friend zone there.
BALJEET: You are kidding, right? You do know she had a giant crush on you for ages? - Uh, no? - Oh, come on, it was so obvious.
She came over to your house every day for 11 years just to see what you were doing.
When she looked at you, her pupils actually formed little hearts.
Like, I do not know how that is physically possible.
She changed her eyeballs! Wha I don't believe it.
Ferb? [CRUNCHING.]
Mmm.
Uh, why didn't you guys ever tell me? We are guys.
We do not talk about feelings.
Did you see the new car Irving got? - Can we eat yet? I'm starving.
- Um, I'm sorry.
I feel like my brain is broken.
I gotta think.
I'm gonna take a walk.
- Uh, see you, guys.
- Hmm, maybe it is not too late.
We should try to get them together.
You know, before Isabella leaves for school.
Yeah, all right.
CHORUS: # Doofenshmirtz Mmm Incorporated # [THUDDING.]
Perry the Platypus! Is it Thursday already? Hmm, well, let me go get my shoes and my ball and then Wait, where's your stuff? Huh? Oh, no, that's not evil, so, so I don't think it counts.
Oh, wait a minute.
Did I set off the Inator alert? Oh, that is so funny! Probably scared the heck out of Commander Carl, huh? [STAMMERS.]
Oh, I know, it can look intimidating.
But there's no reason to be afraid.
It isn't evil.
It isn't even the Inator.
The Inator is this gold chain.
Once it's charged, I'm going to put it around my neck and it will activate the insecurity parts of my brain and trigger a full-blown midlife crisis.
Allow me to explain in song.
[PLAYING FOLKSY TUNE.]
All my friends have spray-on tans And they get back together with their old rock bands Guess their bland old lives are now filled with spices They are having a midlife crisis They're all getting sports cars and new toupees They are borrowing against their IRAs I've always had more than my share of vices But I never had a midlife crisis I'm sick and tired of being out of the game Everyone's so discontent I wish I felt the same It's not like my life has been a total delight But something must be wrong 'cause I feel all right Kazoo solo! [PLAYING SOLO ON KAZOO.]
But now with my Inator I can be the same My crisis will put all other crises to shame I'm telling you now that it's gonna be twice As good as any big gut suckin' Sports car buyin' self-deludin' Comb-over tryin' skinny jean wearin' Wrinkle denyin' bucket listin' Gray hair dyein' existential mid-life crisis [CRASHING.]
[GRUNTING.]
So just let me get this thing charged up and we'll be on our way.
[ZAPPING.]
Ready? [ZAPPING.]
[PADDLES CHARGING.]
[GRUNTS.]
Oh, wow! I feel pretty energized! I want to do something exciting and fun, and also incredibly stupid! Come on, Perry the Platypus, let's go have an adventure.
[MEXICAN TUNE.]
Ginger, are you texting Baljeet again? Yeah, we're at odds deciding what movie to see later.
He wants to go to the one about that planet - and I want to see the one with that guy.
- Well, don't fight about it.
- Manipulate the situation! - Manipthewha? [SIGHS.]
Okay, ladies, listen up.
Pretend you don't care about your movie, but then hint that it's playing at the theater next to the froyo place he likes.
The seed is planted, and he'll think it's his idea to go there.
Hi, guys! Food's up! Aw! Just think, this may be the last time I'm stuffing your faces before I'm off to school.
[TELEPHONE RINGING.]
I got it, Mom! Anyway, enjoy! Gotta treat my Fireside Girl alums right! Hey, hey! Baljeet says okay to my movie.
Mmm-hmm.
Works every time.
- Where is Baljeet, anyway? - Oh, he's over at Phineas'.
BOTH: Oh, Phineas.
It's too bad Isabella and Phineas never got together.
Yeah, I always thought they were meant for each other.
- Look at her, working so hard.
- Do we have chopped liver? What do you think this place is, chopped li Uh, that doesn't really work.
She doesn't have time to manipulate a situation where she and Phineas can get together.
- But we do! - Hey, Speedy Thumbs, text Lover Boy and tell those guys we have a plan to get Isabella and Phineas together! [TEXTING.]
[MOBILE BEEPS.]
- Ginger texting you again? - Yes.
The girls want to get Phineas and Isabella together.
- Wasn't that our idea? - Yes.
But now I've got to write her back in a passive way that makes her think it's really her idea.
She is trying to manipulate the situation.
It is how we love.
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! [MUSIC.]
How's the dye job holding up, Perry the Platypus? Isn't this great? If I had known it was this much fun [GRUNTS.]
Hey, this is one of those fancy sailing yachts! We could sail around the world in this thing! We could, we could visit exotic ports, fight pirates! We'd be like a couple of seafaring Huck Finns and the ocean would be our home [GURGLING.]
[GASPS.]
Or maybe we could wrestle alligators! No, wait! Even better, sports car! [LAUGHS.]
Here, let me get that for you, Nana Shapiro.
Phineas Flynn! Oh, look at you, so tall and handsome, and going to college I hear.
Oh, how time flies.
Where are you going to school? I haven't really decided.
Isabella came over to say goodbye this morning.
- She's off to - This morning? But her school doesn't start for two more weeks.
Oh, honey, didn't you know? She's leaving today.
As soon as she's done with work.
- Something about needing to - Today?! - But - Phineas, look at me.
If you have anything you need to say to her, you'd better get over to the restaurant and say it.
Her summer is almost over.
I You're right.
Thanks.
- The restaurant is that way! - Thanks again.
GINGER: Isn't this fun? It's like when we were kids.
Building stuff in Phineas and Ferb's backyard! We'll build the perfect dinner date for Isabella and Phineas.
Their favorite food, music And when we get them to come back here and see it and each other, they're bound to fall madly in love like they were always meant to be! [CHUCKLES.]
You know, you can't force these things.
Oh, come on, we're girls! It's what we do.
When they first walk in, we'll play the songs I put on this playlist.
They're all about love and it will trigger them to start thinking about love.
Then we have these streamers and balloons in both of their favorite colors, which will stimulate the romantic centers of their brains, - making them think about love.
- What if it doesn't? Well, then, we have this sign.
Sure you don't have anything else that's more ridiculous or irresponsible? - Nope.
This is as dumb as they come.
- All right! Whoo-hoo! Yee-haw! [CRASHING.]
So, what else you got? We've got another one just like it, but in yellow.
[GASPS.]
You hear that? It'll be like driving a really fast Ducky Momo! Oh, yeah, it's the perfect romantic setting out there.
It will be like love kicked them both in the face.
Buford, the table looks great, but there is one thing - that would make it perfect.
- BUFORD: No! No way! I'm not putting that stupid cupid outfit on again.
But it worked so well for me and Mishti! [SARCASTICALLY.]
Oh, Mishti, Mishti, Mishti.
Let it go, Ging.
I think the turbo kicks in when it revs abo Whoa! [CRASHING.]
Oh, oh! Uh, it's okay.
We're fine.
But we do seem to have picked up a passenger.
I'll shake it loose up here at the turn.
Now, drive safely, sweetheart.
And call me when you get to school.
Okay, Mom.
[SNIFFLING.]
I'm very proud of you and will miss you so much! - I'll miss you too, Mom.
- Oh! I almost forgot! Your last paycheck.
[SQUEALS.]
I love you.
[CHUCKLES.]
I'll call! Whoops.
I wanted you to see me, but for so long you were blind Now it's time to face tomorrow and leave all that stuff behind Of what would our lives have been like if you'd just given me a sign 'Cause I like you more than every other thing I like combined I spent so many summers hoping something would begin I thought that I was over you, but here I am again What might have been - Phineas, honey, how are you? - Hi, Mrs.
Garcia Shapiro.
- Uh, is Isabella here? - Oh, no, sweetie, she's gone.
Gone, like, driving-car-school gone? Yes, you just missed her.
It's too bad you didn't get to see her off.
You know, since you were a kid, she's had a huge crush on you.
[SIGHS.]
I wish I had known.
I can't believe that all this time you never said a word Although it's possible you did and I just never heard I never even noticed I guess I wasn't that alert But I must say that in retrospect you were being quite overt And now our endless summer is finally coming to an end I tried to make the most of everyday, but now the years just seem misspent What might have been [MUSIC CONTINUES.]
ISABELLA: # I could have been your girlfriend # PHINEAS: # I could have been your fella # - # We might have been an item # - # They would have called us Phinabella # I would have held the door for you, I would have shared my umbrella You could have held my hair back when I was sick with salmonella Sick with salmonella BOTH: # We could have been together, all you had to say was when # And though I wanted so much more I guess you'll always be my friend What might have been What might have been [SIGHS.]
What might have been.
- It's good, but - It's still missing something.
ALL: So pretty! Oh, it's perfect! It's prefect.
All right, let's get 'em over here now.
Oh, wait.
I don't have any charge.
- Oh, this is her old number.
- Wait, where's my phone? - My phone's out in the car.
- I just got the 21G and the software won't be ready for two months.
Um, guys? Wow! Now it's exactly like it was when we were kids.
DOOFENSHMIRTZ: You know what would be really impulsive? If you and me went out and did a little evil, just the two of us.
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Maybe I should just go hit on the cute jump instructor, instead.
Hi, there.
You know, one of the best things about being a successful scientist is that I get to meet lots of attractive women, such as yourself.
You want to know the best part about being a jump instructor? What? [SCREAMS.]
[SCREAMING.]
Hey, Perry the Platypus.
[GRUNTS.]
Okay, Perry the Platypus, that is it! This midlife crisis isn't nearly as much fun as I thought it was going to be.
From now on, I'm sticking with my predictable boring old life with my predictable boring old friends.
Oh, that reminds me, did you reserve the lanes for Thursday night? [ZAPPING.]
Linda! I don't know what's come over me, but I'm starting to get the most wild and uninhibited ideas! You know how every day for the last 20 years I've relaxed with a nice cup of Earl Grey? Well, not today, Linda! Today, I'm pulling out all the stops! - Darjeeling! - You are a madman.
[MUSIC.]
What you doing? [CHUCKLES.]
Is this step taken? I actually came by to say goodbye to you.
Off to school, huh? Yeah, I'm going two weeks early because I'm an RA, and in soccer, debate camp, student government - Yeah, I haven't seen you all summer.
- I've been busy.
You know, uh, Baljeet said something funny.
He said you had a crush on me back in grade school.
Oh, yeah.
I had a big crush on you.
Wow! I had no idea.
Really? I thought I was being so obvious.
Absolutely clueless.
Sorry.
I sort of gave up when we got to high school.
Yeah, I think that's when I started having a thing for you.
- Well, that's unfortunate timing.
- Yep.
- You're off to college.
- TriState State.
Have you decided where you're going yet? You know what? I just did.
- Oh.
Huh.
- Hey, what's wro Oh, shoot.
I'm sorry.
Wrong letter.
[CHUCKLES.]
Well, I guess I'll see you in two weeks.
Yes.
Yes, you will.
[APPLAUSE.]
It's about time! [BALJEET LAUGHS.]
We have been trying to get you two together all day! - You guys are the best.
- So what did I miss? It was as if love had kicked them both in the face.
Yeah? Called it! I'm going to miss you guys! - See ya.
- In two weeks.
Eh, I've waited this long.
So, TriState State, huh? Good choice.
[CAR HONKING.]
Hey, Ferbs, you ready? - Hi, Phineas! - Hi, Nessa.
Where are you guys going? Oh, Ferb's taking me out for Ukrainian food.
Can we drop you anywhere? Hmm as a matter of fact Phineas! - What are you doing? - This.
[MUSIC.]
I never knew she had a thing for him.
- Seriously? - [CHUCKLES.]
No, I'm just messing with you.
Everyone knew.
Well, that was worth the wait.
Yes.
Yes, it was.
[SOBBING.]
I can't believe it.
It seems like only yesterday we were drawing our first doodles of these kids - on the place mats of that - Yeah, I, I know, it's a - It's a sweet episode.
- Now they're, they're growing up - And going to college - But it's it is really It's just a cartoon.
And just - [SOBBING.]
Why? - Um You know, I got a thing.
I'm gonna [SOBBING.]
They're growing up.

It's too bad Isabella and Phineas never got together.
Yeah, I always thought they were meant for each other.
- Look at her, working so hard.
- Do we have chopped liver? What do you think this place is, chopped li Uh, that doesn't really work.
She doesn't have time to manipulate a situation where she and Phineas can get together.
- But we do! - Hey, Speedy Thumbs, text Lover Boy and tell those guys we have a plan to get Isabella and Phineas together! [TEXTING.]
[MOBILE BEEPS.]
- Ginger texting you again? - Yes.
The girls want to get Phineas and Isabella together.
- Wasn't that our idea? - Yes.
But now I've got to write her back in a passive way that makes her think it's really her idea.
She is trying to manipulate the situation.
It is how we love.
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! [MUSIC.]
How's the dye job holding up, Perry the Platypus? Isn't this great? If I had known it was this much fun [GRUNTS.]
Hey, this is one of those fancy sailing yachts! We could sail around the world in this thing! We could, we could visit exotic ports, fight pirates! We'd be like a couple of seafaring Huck Finns and the ocean would be our home [GURGLING.]
[GASPS.]
Or maybe we could wrestle alligators! No, wait! Even better, sports car! [LAUGHS.]
Here, let me get that for you, Nana Shapiro.
Phineas Flynn! Oh, look at you, so tall and handsome, and going to college I hear.
Oh, how time flies.
Where are you going to school? I haven't really decided.
Isabella came over to say goodbye this morning.
- She's off to - This morning? But her school doesn't start for two more weeks.
Oh, honey, didn't you know? She's leaving today.
As soon as she's done with work.
- Something about needing to - Today?! - But - Phineas, look at me.
If you have anything you need to say to her, you'd better get over to the restaurant and say it.
Her summer is almost over.
I You're right.
Thanks.
- The restaurant is that way! - Thanks again.
GINGER: Isn't this fun? It's like when we were kids.
Building stuff in Phineas and Ferb's backyard! We'll build the perfect dinner date for Isabella and Phineas.
Their favorite food, music And when we get them to come back here and see it and each other, they're bound to fall madly in love like they were always meant to be! [CHUCKLES.]
You know, you can't force these things.
Oh, come on, we're girls! It's what we do.
When they first walk in, we'll play the songs I put on this playlist.
They're all about love and it will trigger them to start thinking about love.
Then we have these streamers and balloons in both of their favorite colors, which will stimulate the romantic centers of their brains, - making them think about love.
- What if it doesn't? Well, then, we have this sign.
Sure you don't have anything else that's more ridiculous or irresponsible? - Nope.
This is as dumb as they come.
- All right! Whoo-hoo! Yee-haw! [CRASHING.]
So, what else you got? We've got another one just like it, but in yellow.
[GASPS.]
You hear that? It'll be like driving a really fast Ducky Momo! Oh, yeah, it's the perfect romantic setting out there.
It will be like love kicked them both in the face.
Buford, the table looks great, but there is one thing - that would make it perfect.
- BUFORD: No! No way! I'm not putting that stupid cupid outfit on again.
But it worked so well for me and Mishti! [SARCASTICALLY.]
Oh, Mishti, Mishti, Mishti.
Let it go, Ging.
I think the turbo kicks in when it revs abo Whoa! [CRASHING.]
Oh, oh! Uh, it's okay.
We're fine.
But we do seem to have picked up a passenger.
I'll shake it loose up here at the turn.
Now, drive safely, sweetheart.
And call me when you get to school.
Okay, Mom.
[SNIFFLING.]
I'm very proud of you and will miss you so much! - I'll miss you too, Mom.
- Oh! I almost forgot! Your last paycheck.
[SQUEALS.]
I love you.
[CHUCKLES.]
I'll call! Whoops.
I wanted you to see me, but for so long you were blind Now it's time to face tomorrow and leave all that stuff behind Of what would our lives have been like if you'd just given me a sign 'Cause I like you more than every other thing I like combined I spent so many summers hoping something would begin I thought that I was over you, but here I am again What might have been - Phineas, honey, how are you? - Hi, Mrs.
Garcia Shapiro.
- Uh, is Isabella here? - Oh, no, sweetie, she's gone.
Gone, like, driving-car-school gone? Yes, you just missed her.
It's too bad you didn't get to see her off.
You know, since you were a kid, she's had a huge crush on you.
[SIGHS.]
I wish I had known.
I can't believe that all this time you never said a word Although it's possible you did and I just never heard I never even noticed I guess I wasn't that alert But I must say that in retrospect you were being quite overt And now our endless summer is finally coming to an end I tried to make the most of everyday, but now the years just seem misspent What might have been [MUSIC CONTINUES.]
ISABELLA: # I could have been your girlfriend # PHINEAS: # I could have been your fella # - # We might have been an item # - # They would have called us Phinabella # I would have held the door for you, I would have shared my umbrella You could have held my hair back when I was sick with salmonella Sick with salmonella BOTH: # We could have been together, all you had to say was when # And though I wanted so much more I guess you'll always be my friend What might have been What might have been [SIGHS.]
What might have been.
- It's good, but - It's still missing something.
ALL: So pretty! Oh, it's perfect! It's prefect.
All right, let's get 'em over here now.
Oh, wait.
I don't have any charge.
- Oh, this is her old number.
- Wait, where's my phone? - My phone's out in the car.
- I just got the 21G and the software won't be ready for two months.
Um, guys? Wow! Now it's exactly like it was when we were kids.
DOOFENSHMIRTZ: You know what would be really impulsive? If you and me went out and did a little evil, just the two of us.
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Maybe I should just go hit on the cute jump instructor, instead.
Hi, there.
You know, one of the best things about being a successful scientist is that I get to meet lots of attractive women, such as yourself.
You want to know the best part about being a jump instructor? What? [SCREAMS.]
[SCREAMING.]
Hey, Perry the Platypus.
[GRUNTS.]
Okay, Perry the Platypus, that is it! This midlife crisis isn't nearly as much fun as I thought it was going to be.
From now on, I'm sticking with my predictable boring old life with my predictable boring old friends.
Oh, that reminds me, did you reserve the lanes for Thursday night? [ZAPPING.]
Linda! I don't know what's come over me, but I'm starting to get the most wild and uninhibited ideas! You know how every day for the last 20 years I've relaxed with a nice cup of Earl Grey? Well, not today, Linda! Today, I'm pulling out all the stops! - Darjeeling! - You are a madman.
[MUSIC.]
What you doing? [CHUCKLES.]
Is this step taken? I actually came by to say goodbye to you.
Off to school, huh? Yeah, I'm going two weeks early because I'm an RA, and in soccer, debate camp, student government - Yeah, I haven't seen you all summer.
- I've been busy.
You know, uh, Baljeet said something funny.
He said you had a crush on me back in grade school.
Oh, yeah.
I had a big crush on you.
Wow! I had no idea.
Really? I thought I was being so obvious.
Absolutely clueless.
Sorry.
I sort of gave up when we got to high school.
Yeah, I think that's when I started having a thing for you.
- Well, that's unfortunate timing.
- Yep.
- You're off to college.
- TriState State.
Have you decided where you're going yet? You know what? I just did.
- Oh.
Huh.
- Hey, what's wro Oh, shoot.
I'm sorry.
Wrong letter.
[CHUCKLES.]
Well, I guess I'll see you in two weeks.
Yes.
Yes, you will.
[APPLAUSE.]
It's about time! [BALJEET LAUGHS.]
We have been trying to get you two together all day! - You guys are the best.
- So what did I miss? It was as if love had kicked them both in the face.
Yeah? Called it! I'm going to miss you guys! - See ya.
- In two weeks.
Eh, I've waited this long.
So, TriState State, huh? Good choice.
[CAR HONKING.]
Hey, Ferbs, you ready? - Hi, Phineas! - Hi, Nessa.
Where are you guys going? Oh, Ferb's taking me out for Ukrainian food.
Can we drop you anywhere? Hmm as a matter of fact Phineas! - What are you doing? - This.
[MUSIC.]
I never knew she had a thing for him.
- Seriously? - [CHUCKLES.]
No, I'm just messing with you.
Everyone knew.
Well, that was worth the wait.
Yes.
Yes, it was.
[SOBBING.]
I can't believe it.
It seems like only yesterday we were drawing our first doodles of these kids - on the place mats of that - Yeah, I, I know, it's a - It's a sweet episode.
- Now they're, they're growing up - And going to college - But it's it is really It's just a cartoon.
And just - [SOBBING.]
Why? - Um You know, I got a thing.
