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 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 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.

[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!

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.

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 G
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 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, sh**t.
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...

They're growing up.
