Gee, just look at that
aerodynamic design.

And those radical
radial tires.

That scooter's
state of the art.

It's on sale
for only... Aw!

$30.

I don't have $30.

Maybe if we pooled our money.

You better hurry.
The sale ends tomorrow.

Let's go home and
shake the piggybank.

I need to take care
of an important matter.

You're flying
to the banana republic.

Sounds appealing.
What's up?

The lease
on my cereal factory.

Sign an extension
by tomorrow

Or I'll lose the factory

To the republic's leader,
general chiquita.

He's a slippery
top banana.

It has to be
signed by tomorrow.

Worry not,
mr. Mcduck.

This banana's
splitting.

Uncle scrooge! Uncle scrooge!

We need $3.00 to buy a scooter.

Give us
our allowance early.

Please!

Please?
- Pretty please?

Please?

You know how I feel
about advances.

But allowance day
is two whole days away.

Aye. Saturday.
You can wait that long.

The sale
ends tomorrow!

There are other sales.

Remember, patience
builds character.

Who wants character?

We want the scooter.

If I always
gave you everything,

What character
would you have?

The happy kind.

Aw, what's the use?

He'll never give us our
allowance before saturday.

If he thought tomorrow
was saturday, he would.

Fat chance of that.

Not if we do
what we do best...

Be real sneaky!

[Rooster crows]

[Snoring]

Remember, we've got to change
all fridays to saturdays.

It's the early duck
that gets the dough.

Rise and shine time
on k-duck radio.

it's d*ck cluck
wishing you a happy

saturday morning!

Saturday?

that's right!

here with our saturday
weather report

is dr. George fishbeak.

today, the weather
is going to be

just like friday's.

that's it for the saturday
weather report.

Excuse me, lads,

But what day
is it?

Saturday,
uncle scrooge.

Really?

It's got to be.

We're watching
saturday cartoons.

I guess so. Leaping loch ness!

This week's
going by fast.

Well, it wasn't
exactly a lie.

These are saturday cartoons.

Last saturdays.

Here's your breakfast,
uncle scrooge,

And your saturday
newspaper.

And speaking
of saturday...

Aye, your allowance.

See? It wasn't
hard to wait.

Yeah. The time
went by real fast.

I can't
remember friday.

It's fuzzy, isn't it?

It's time for my morning
conference call.

Run along.

We might be late

Getting home
from school.

We have to
go shopping.

School
on a saturday?

Uh...

Uh...

Uh...

Not, uh,
not school, but...

Pool!

We're heading
for the pool.

Last one in is a
rotten duck egg.

Good morning,
mr. Mcduck.

What business
shall we cover today?

What we always cover...
Your saturday reports.

Saturday?
- Saturday?

Isn't today
friday?

Don't we give saturday
reports on saturday?

Exactly. What day
do you think this is?

Friday?
- Saturday? - Saturday?

Correct me
if I'm wrong,

But I get
the impression

You're indicating
today is saturday.

Because it's saturday,
idiots!

Oh, yes.
- Saturday.

I knew that.

How can you
do business

Without knowing
what day it is?

I assure you, I knew
today was saturday.

Of course!
- Yes, yes.

I just haven't had time
to prepare my report.

You better make time.

Get back on schedule,
or else!

Saturday?

Yes, miss
tailfeathers.

Next time, keep
my schedule straight!

Saturday?

Right.

All these friday memos
are late!

Saturday?
- Saturday?

Right.
We're a day behind.

Double the speed
on those conveyor belts.

You want to argue
with scrooge? Go ahead.

When has mr. Mcduck ever
gotten a date wrong?

Does anybody know
what day it is?

Does anybody really care?

Gee, we were so busy
fooling uncle scrooge,

We forgot to study
for the friday test.

Class,
I'm so sorry,

But a mistake was made.

I heard from
the principal,

Who heard from
the superintendent,

Who heard from the mayor,

Who heard
from the... Someone

That today is
really saturday.

Saturday?
- Saturday?

Yay!
- Yay! - Yay!

I got a feeling

This mistake
is no mistake.

So what?
There's no test.

Now we can get
the scooter earlier.

What do you mean,
the sale's over?

I said prices would
change on saturday.

But today's friday!

It was on the news.
Today's saturday.

We outsmarted
ourselves.

I wonder how far
this joke has spread.

the president's
task force

will determine
what day it is.

in our exclusive
duck tv poll,

we asked
the average duck,

"what day
do you think it is?"

79% said, "saturday."
19% said, "friday."

2% hoped
- it was christmas already.

meanwhile,
the day change

has caused
- mass confusion everywhere.

at airports,
riots broke out

between friday
and saturday passengers

trying to board
the same plane.

saddest of all
are those people

who missed
- their friday birthdays.

now they're not sure
how old they are.

[sobs]

i don't want
to be 5 again!

and that's the way it is
this friday or saturday

or maybe even sunday,
the way things are going.

If walter cronduck
is confused,

Then things must
really be bad.

I am sorry, señor,

But you have
missed the deadline.

According to my deal
with señor mcduck,

The extension
must be signed by friday.

General chiquita,
today is friday.

No, señor crackshell,
today is saturday.

Says who?

Watch tv.
Read a paper.

The whole world
says it's saturday.

Blathering blatherskite!

I've heard of leap years,
but leap days?

Thanks to your tardiness,

I now own the banana
bran flakes cereal factory

Lock, stop, and box top.

No, please,
your generalship!

Let me sign it!

I can't lose
mr. Mcduck's factory!

Show this fool
the door.

No, please!
I've seen the door!

It's your signature
I want!

Ohh, what an off day
this turned out to be.

We've caused
lots of problems

By changing the day.

If everyone at school
hears it's our fault

They missed
saturday cartoons,

We're goners.

Fenton, it's saturday!

You should've signed that
lease extension yesterday!

That's what
I don't understand.

I left yesterday,
but when I arrived,

It was
already tomorrow.

Wait.

You did leave yesterday,

Which was thursday,

So today should be friday.

I'd be happy if it was
tuesday in belgium.

I smell something rotten
in duckburg.

Sit tight, fenton.

I'm on my way there
to straighten this out.

How could a whole day
disappear?

Because
we tricked you.

We wanted to get
our allowances early.

What? How?

Let's just say

If there was a merit
badge for being sneaky,

We'd get big ones.

It wasn't supposed
to go this far.

It's gone
around the world.

Hold the heather, boys.

Since it's friday,

I can still
sign that lease.

I've got to get
to the banana republic.

We'll help!

No. You lads have done
enough for one day,

Whatever day
this is.

There it is, launchpad.

Land quickly. There
isn't a minute to lose.

Roger. I've lost too many
minutes this week already.

We'll be in trouble

If uncle scrooge
catches us here.

How much more trouble
can we get into?

Besides, he might
need our help.

I cannot believe it,
launchpad.

It's a perfect landing.

We all have
our off days.

Aah!
- Aah!

Looks like I still
retain my perfect record.

But,
general chiquita,

There's been
a terrible mistake.

And you made it.

The banana
bran flakes factory

Is now mine.

But there's been
a slipup.

No pun intended.

Right. You see,

Contrary
to world opinion,

It's really friday.

Yesterday
my nephews fooled me

Into thinking
it was saturday.

Boys will be boys.

Oh, I get it.

Nephews. Ha ha!

A trick. Ho ho!

That's a good one,
mcduck.

Right, so let's
sign the lease.

Absolutely not.

It's saturday.

Friday.

Saturday.

It's friday,
you dim-witted dictator!

It's your last day.

For assaulting the banana
republic's president,

I order you and your
amigo sh*t at high noon.

High noon
on friday or saturday?

Take them to prison,

Then ready
the cannon squad.

Cannon squad?

Don't you mean
f*ring squad?

Cannons are
so much more fun.

Take them away.

I'm too young
to die,

Too nice,

And much
too nervous.

Nobody can take that factory
away from me now.

We've really gotten uncle
scrooge in a pickle.

There's one way
to save them...

Convince the general
it's really friday.

How?

The way we always
get out of pickles...

With the junior
woodchuck's guidebook.

"When a day
is sorely missed,

Go back with
a solar eclipse."

What's
a solar eclipse?

When the moon
blocks out the sun.

The calendar says

There should be a
banana-shaped eclipse

On friday at noon.

That should prove
today's friday.

Let's tell the general.

See, general? If today
was really saturday,

The eclipse would've
been yesterday.

And there wasn't one.

Well, I don't remember.

It was cloudy yesterday,
like today.

Will you stop
the execution

If the eclipse
happens?

Not if I
can't see it.

You'll see
the eclipse.

Even if we have to move
the clouds ourselves.

If they're right,
they'll ruin everything.

There's only one thing
left to do.

What? High noon
isn't for another hour.

I'll save you
needless anguish

By moving up
the execution.

But I was just starting
to enjoy my anguish.

Take them
to the f*ring range!

Launchpad,
you got to help us.

At noon everybody has to
see the banana eclair.

That's
banana eclipse!

Those clouds
would make it tough.

Can you figure out
a way to move them?

No problem.

Mr. Mcd says my head's
always in the clouds.

mucho gracias,
amigo buddy.

Here we go...

World's first
cloud plower.

Where's your
gizmoduck suit?

Don't worry
it's safe...

In my closet.

That will be comforting

When the cannonballs hit!

I got it!

It's a long sh*t.

Let the execution begin.

uno momento,
generalissimo.

Every dead duck
is entitled to one call.

Hmm. All right,

This is
your last time

To reach out
and touch someone.

Can anyone
give me a dime?

Please, mr. Mcduck.

Can't you spare one dime?

I am calling
our mutual friend.

All right.

Say the magic words.

But you owe me.



hi, this is gizmoduck.

sorry I can't rescue you.

leave a message...

Blabberin' blatherskite.

Once again, let
the execution begin!

Uh... Wait, wait.

What about
some last words?

Ok, keep it brief.

Friends, romans,
and banana lovers,

I regret
I have but one life

To give to
- your ridiculous country.

Launchpad,
you're a genius.

Thanks. I've never
been told that before.

"95 Bottles of root beer
on the wall"

"95 Bottles
of root beer..."

How long
can he sing?

How long
can we listen?

"And the rockets'
red glare"

"The bombs
bursting in air..."

Enough, let
the execution begin.

Mr. Mcduck!

Sorry, fenton,
- I just cannot take anymore.

Let's finish this.
sh**t them both.

Isn't that gizmoduck?

Look out!

Whoa!

We landed in uncle's
banana bran flake factory.

That was the
crunchiest crash ever!

Ready.

So long, mr. Mcduck.

It's been swell.

Aim.

I didn't get
to kiss mama bye.

Tell gandra dee,
toodle-oo.

Fire.

Ooh!

What...
What happened?

Gizmoduck.

I know, I know.

You want your dime.

Uncle scrooge,
are you ok?

Thanks to gizmoduck.

You may leave,

But the factory's
still mine.

In one minute,

The eclair will prove
it's friday.

That's eclipse!

It makes
no difference.

There's still
one cloud.

We'll never see.

Don't be so sure.

Gizmoduck is here.

Give me a light.

Good luck, gizmoduck!

Thanks, gizmo buddies.

Don't get wacky ideas.

Blasting from cannons

Is something
only superheros do.

You betcha.

Yes, sir.

Whoa!

Look! The eclipse!

A perfect banana.

I don't know.

Looks like
an eclair.

Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!

It is friday.

I'll be signing
that lease now.

to recap,
- today's dramatic fumbles

of the banana eclipse

proves without a doubt
today is friday.

I hope you
learned a lesson.

Yeah!

We'll never do
that again.

that's how
it is... Friday.

i'm sure of it.

[Dong]

or is it saturday?

It is saturday.

And way past
your bedtimes.

If it's saturday...

Do we still get
our allowance?

Well, I suppose so...

Wait.

Didn't I give you
your allowances?

Come back here

Or I'll pinch more
than a penny!
