His phone rings and he picks it up.) Jeremy: Uhh, hello? Candace: Hey, Jeremy! It's me, Candace! Jeremy: Oh, hi Candace. You realize it's like... 2am in Paris. Candace: Oops! Ahahah... Sorry... I... was just wondering how your vacation's going. Jeremy: Actually, it's funny you called because you were in my dream just now. Candace: (Excited) Really? (Candace hears a rumble from outside) Jeremy: Yeah, it was weird... You and I were in this Dixieland band and there was an iguana playing an oboe... (Another rumble is heard) Candace: I gotta go, Jeremy. I'll call you later. (Runs outside, calling someone else) Mom! Do you hear that? Linda: I can't hear anything over all this road construction. Candace: (As she talks the robot is jumping behind her causing her to pause a few times) But Mom, they've built a giant...rope jumping robot and it's... Phineas will you turn that thing off? I'm trying to bust you! Phineas: We can't, its become self-aware! The jump roping was his idea! (car horn) Candace: Mom! (Linda pulls up) Candace: Mom! Mom! Linda: Okay, I'm here. What did you wanna tell me? Candace: Backyard now! Linda: (Slightly irritated) Excuse me? Candace: Backyard now, please? Robot: I jump, therefore I am. Phineas: Oh, there you are, Perry. Candace: Right back here, Mom! (eyes closed) Look, there they are. (The robot has suddenly disappeared) Linda: Hi, kids. Did you have fun today? Phineas: Yes, yes we did. Linda: Good for you. I would've been home sooner, but it took me an hour to drive around the road construction in the neighborhood. It sure would be helpful if they could just make the days a little longer. (chuckles) Who do I call about that? (A text appears that says "You're watching TV!" and a "DING" can be heard) Phineas: Hey, do you mind? We have a visual gag going on here. (It disappears to reveal Ferb used a triangle to make the noise) Thank you! (To Ferb) Our vacation is more than halfway over, and what have we accomplished? Okay, so we built a rollercoaster, we traveled through time twice, found Atlantis, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, see? We've hardly done anything! We need a real challenge. We need to create the biggest, longest, funnest summer day of all time! (A fanfare is heard and the camera pans out to reveal it was Ferb playing brass instruments) Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today! ♪ Doofenshmirtz in a Jet Airplane! ♪ Dr. Doofenshmirtz: Well, Vanessa, are you looking forward to seeing Tokyo on our daddy-daughter trip? Vanessa: Yeah... I was really hoping for Paris. I mean, I did drop all those hints, but I guess Tokyo is more exotic. Dr. Doofenshmirtz: Yes, that's why I chose Japan over Paris at the last moment! That makes perfect sense. There is no other ulterior motive behind it all, so, you know... Airplane Captain: Uh, this is your captain speaking, we're expecting a slight delay for our arrival to Tokyo. Dr. Doofenshmirtz: That's always something. Turbulence, headwinds, giant jump-roping robots... Robot: (Hanging on the jet airplane) I dangle, therefore, I am... (Scene shifts to the master bedroom) Candace: So Mom, while you're away, I'm in charge, right? For two whole days? Linda: That's right. Remember, no boys over. Candace: Of course, Mom. Jeremy's in Paris anyway. So... When you say I'm in charge, what exactly do you mean by that? Linda: Well, to put it simply, I mean, "You're in charge." Candace: So if Phineas and Ferb are up to something bust-worthy, and I am, as you say... "In charge", I have free reign to call you as many times as necessary? Lawrence: Quite the contrary, Candace. Being in charge means you handle things yourself. Linda: Yup. Basically, if you're really in charge, you won't need to call at all. You see, if the boys are doing something bust-worthy, that means you're not doing your job and you would be in trouble too. Candace: Woah, woah, heavy! By busting the boys, I bust myself? Lawrence: Ah, there's the rub. Right next to the pair o' ducks. I'm also packing this book of puns! (Outside of the house...) Linda: Bye kids! Candace: Bye, Mom! Bye, Dad! Have a nice time! Phineas: Have a successful endeavor! (Later; in Candace's room...) Candace: (Dreaming) Paris... French girls and... Jeremy... Iguana playing an oboe... (She sits up and calls someone) Stacy? I am freaking out here! (On the other line) Stacy: Ugh... I'll be right over. Candace: Cool! Thanks! And could you bring some breakfast? (Stacy hangs up) Hello? (Scene shifts to the backyard) Isabella: So Phineas, whatcha doin'... Up so early? Phineas: Today is the summer solstice, the longest day of the year! And Ferb and I are gonna make it even longer. Isabella: So you built the Statue of Liberty? Phineas: No... (Sees his invention in shape of the Statue of Liberty) Oh, wow. That is weird. (He removes the sheet cover) Behold! The Amazing Sun-Beater 3000! Isabella/Fireside Girls: Wow! Amazing! Buford: It's a name followed by a big number! Phineas: It's fast and it runs on vegetable oil, so it's environmentally friendly. In this ship, we will travel around the world as the sun does, making this, the longest day of summer, even longer! That'll give us twenty-four hours of continuous daylight; and add the extra fifteen hours we would've had anyway, that's almost a forty-hour day! Buford: It can't be done! There's only twenty-four hours in a day and that's that! Phineas: Well, yes and no. You see, Buford, if you define the day by the passage of the sun, and we follow the sun by travelling around the... Buford: Nah, nah! Don't try to confuse me with your sorcerous ways. There's nothin' I've ever seen that would make me believe you could pull this off. Except for that time-machine thing, and oh, and the rollercoaster! But other than that, nothin'! Oh, and the time you played that song when the platypus came back, oh... Man, nature just bends to your will, doesn't it? Phineas: Yeah, nothing's impossible if you believe you could do it. Buford: Well, I don't believe and therefore it's impossible. And what's more, I bet you can't do it! Phineas: You bet us? Buford: Yeah, I bet you! And if you lose, you're gonna have to stand up in front of everyone and say that you are governed by the laws of physics and summer's not whatever you want to make of it. And what's more, you've gonna spend the rest of your summer doin' nothin'! Phineas: And what happens when we win? Buford: Hmmm... I'll eat a bug. Phineas: Buford, you'd eat a bug right now if we asked. Buford: Are you asking? Phineas: No. Buford: All right. How about I give you back your bike I took when we were little? Phineas: My bike! (Flashback) Baby Phineas: Bu gaga gu... Baby Buford: Mine! Baby Phineas: No... Bu gaga gu. (Flashback ends) Phineas: How about this? When we make it back here before the sun sets, you gotta give everyone their bikes back. Random man: Mine was the one with the unusually large front wheel. Buford: I still get to eat the bug though, right? Phineas: Sure thing, Buford. Buford: I want the bug. Isabella: Phineas, what are you doing? You're putting your entire world view on the line. And for what? A bunch of bikes? Buford: And a bug! Phineas: Isabella, it isn't about the bikes. It's about my world view. You see, we all gotta ask ourselves just one question. (Song: I Believe We Can) (Lyrics in parentheses are background vocals sung by Chaka Khan) Clay Aiken: ♪ What is a summer really ♪ ♪ But a tepid month or 3? ♪ Ferb: Clay Aiken? Phineas: Yeah. I hired a stunt singer, what do you think? Clay Aiken: ♪ If you agree with Buford ♪ ♪ That's all it will ever be ♪ ♪ And we don't need to break the laws of physics ♪ ♪ To make a day that's longer than a day ♪ ♪ We can follow that old sun 'round the circumference of the globe ♪ ♪ And stop all the naysayers from nay-say... ing ♪ ♪ 'Cause I believe we can ♪ ♪ And that's the measure, the measure of a man ♪ ♪ It may sound far-fetched, this thing we've got planned ♪ ♪ But I believe we can ♪ ♪ I believe we can (Ooh, I believe we can) ♪ ♪ And that's the measure, the measure of a man (Oh, that's the measure of a man) ♪ Phineas: (To Ferb) Chaka Khan. Nice. ♪ We'll make it back here (We'll make it back here) to where we began... (Oh...) ♪ (One of the plane's wings falls off) Phineas: ♪ Or at least that's the plan! ♪ (Everyone laughs) Chaka Khan: ♪ Of course, first you're gonna have to fix this wing, yeah! ♪ Hey, where's Perry? (Perry, while sleeping, hurriedly lands in his headquarters) Carl: Uh, hi, Agent P. Major Monogram isn't here right now, but he left this note. (Tries to mimic Major Monogram's voice) "Dear Carl, I haven't been kidnapped so don't come looking for him... I mean me." Kinda weird, though, that he took the time to cut each letter out of a magazine. Anyway, Doof is on vacation with his daughter in Tokyo right now which is where the Annual World Good Guy convention is being held, and Major Monogram is the keynote speaker. Coincidence? 100% yes! So I guess you got the day off! (Back in the Flynn-Fletcher house) Stacy: All right, you got your breakfast. What's eating you? Candace: Well, you know how Jeremy's in France for another week? Stacy: Yeah, so? Candace: Do you know what they have in France? Stacy: The pyramids? Candace: No! French girls! Stacy: Come on, Candace. Everybody knows that you and Jeremy are an item. Candace: Not officially... He's never even called me his girlfriend. We've never even kissed! That means Jeremy's single, in Paris, and surrounded by French girls. I'm no fool, Stacy, I've seen the oil paintings. Stacy: Candace, you got to believe in yourself. What do French girls have that you don't have? Candace: At the moment, Jeremy. Stacy: Candace, if you want him to call you his girlfriend, maybe you should call him your boyfriend. Candace: I can do that? I can use the B-word first? Stacy: Sure, why not? Candace: Oh, and Stacy, pyramids? Really? Stacy: Oh, right. That's Belgium, isn't it? (Scene shifts to Doofenshmirtz and Vanessa) Vanessa: Look at this, it says that the tallest structure in Tokyo is the Tokyo Tower. And it even looks like the Eiffel Tower! Dr. Doofenshmirtz: See? It's just like we're in France! Oh, here's my bag now! Vanessa: I can't believe you brought work with you! (Doofenshmirtz's "bag" is revealed to be Major Monogram tied up to a cart) Dr. Doofenshmirtz: What do you mean? Vanessa: Dad, you've got some guy tied up in here. Dr. Doofenshmirtz: No, no, Vanessa. We've got some guy tied up in here. Major Monogram: I've got a name, you know. Dr. Doofenshmirtz: All right. Vanessa, Major Monogram. Major Monogram, Vanessa. There, you happy now?! Major Monogram: I've never been happy. Dr. Doofenshmirtz: Come on, let's go get a taxi. Major Monogram: I'd prefer a town car. Dr. Doofenshmirtz: Quiet, you! (Scene shifts to the backyard) Phineas: Okay, we're getting a slight late start because of the broken wing, but here's the whole route. With stops in Tokyo and Paris to refuel. Isabella: You're going to Paris? Phineas: Yeah, wanna come? Isabella: To the City of Love? Phineas: (Obliviously) That's what they call it. Isabella: You're asking me to go to the City of Love with you? Phineas: Yeah, it'll be fun. Isabella: Now, let me see if I got this straight... Buford: Hey Dinner Bell! I'm goin' with you to make sure you don't cheat. Phineas: Okay. So Baljeet, you wanna come too? Baljeet: Well, naturally-- Buford: I get one carry-on. Phineas: All right. Carry on, then. Did you get that wing fixed yet? Chaka Khan: I guess so. We pretty much used up all the packing tape. Phineas: Okay, the clock is ticking, everyone!(Candace comes outside, ripping through the map) Candace: Phineas! What's going on here? Phineas: We're flying around the world to make the longest, funnest day of summer ever. Candace: Oh, no, no, no. Mom left me in charge, and I say you and your little friends are not going anywhere-- Stacy: Hey, Candace, check out this giant map! Candace: (Looks at the map) You're going to Paris...? France? Phineas: That's the plan. We'll have to stop and refuel. Candace: (There's a short silence while she thinks before she gets a determined look on her face) Like I was saying, you and your little friends are not going anywhere...without me! Stacy: No, no, no, no, Candace! This is a bad idea! About as bad as you've ever had in a loong line, and I love you when you say this, really, really bad ideas. Candace: Stacy, they're going to Paris! Where Jeremy is! Stacy: You promised your mom you'd keep your brothers out of trouble. Candace: What better way to look after them than by going along and keeping them out of trouble along the way? Stacy: You realize that's a massive rationalization, don't you? Candace: Oh yeah, totally. Stacy: Well, say hi to Jeremy for me! And hey, you should stop by and see my cousins in Tokyo! Phineas: Ferb, did you get the giant map packed? (Ferb taps his pocket) Phineas: Wow, mad folding skills. You guys all ready? Buford: Ready for you to lose! (They start engine) Phineas: Uh, Ferb? (The camera pans out to reveal their house is blocking the way. Ferb clicks a button, lowering the house down into the ground) Phineas: All right, everyone, make sure your tray tables are stowed and your seats are in their full and up-- (The airplane takes off in fast speed. The house rises again and the backyard is a mess from the take-off) Adyson: Okay, girls. We have roughly forty hours to get this backyard in line and set up for the party. Let's go, go, go! Clay Aiken: Who left her in charge? Adyson: Here, make yourself useful. (hands him a rake) Clay Aiken: (Stares) You know, we're only booked for the hour!
