Original subtitles

You know what people take for granted.? The sounds of the summer,

the way ice crackles in a cold beverage,

and bees buzzing on their busy way.

The chirping of the summer birds--

[distant screaming]

Maybe they're acting up today.

Ugh. I should've known better. I'll call you back, Stacy.

A little Buford's telling me the boys are up to something.

Cawa pilala! Cawa pilala! Cawa pilalala!

I do not think that is what they sound like.

What's with the weird noises?

Hey, Candace!

We're hoping to see the mockmacaws as they pass through Danville.

- Mockma who now? - [Isabella] Yeah. Mockmacaws!

Rare migratory birds that can camouflage themselves

with their color-changing plumage.

They can also copy sounds and voices and stuff.

Genetically speaking, they fall somewhere between

parrots and chameleons.

Whatever. Bird calls is a new low for you guys.

Right below the bookshelf.

Call me when you have something actually bustable.

Maybe we should have told her about macaw mansion.

[Buford] Funny.

None of the ladies in your family like to look up.

Ooh. Maybe we should build a Perry palace next.

Hey, where is Perry?

[communicator vibrating]

Agent P, Doofenshmirtz has bought up all of the bug spray

in the Tri-State Area.

It could be that he's just hosting a little summer soiree.

That would mean a bunch of evil scientists in one place.

Conclusion, he must be up to something nefarious.

You know what to do, Agent P.

[engine whirring]

Hey Carl, how many people have RSVP'd to my barbecue?

- One. - Is that including you?

Yes.

So none.

Don't judge yourself for this.

This is not a measure of you as a man.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

Psst! Down here.

Perry the Platypus. I'm glad you're here.

Let me catch you up via monologue.

I've gotten into home gardening,

you know, fruits and veggies.

The garden was doing well,

and it even attracted a colony of praying mantises.

All female. Go figure.

Vanessa got me this book of facts about them.

See, naturally prey on garden pests.

- Mantis fact! - [snaps fingers]

[whispering] Now's our chance!

Anyway, I had a lot of pests

so I decided to make the mantises bigger,

using my ultragrow-inator.

I would behold it, but I left it on the balcony.

The Inator has a reverse switch,

but there's an entire army of giant mantises in the way.

So you've got to help me, Perry the Platypus.

It's the only way to defeat them.

[♪ intense music playing]

- Phineas? - [Phineas] Up here.

Is all this worth it just to spot some dumb birds?

Yes. Yes, it is.

The only photo is this one where they camouflaged themselves as a sasquatch.

Then we'll get the first photo of one uncamouflaged!

- Everyone got their cameras ready? - [flashes]

Ferb, turn on the vacancy sign!

We're open for business.

[birds cawing]

The mockmacaws are here,

but they camouflage when I try to take their picture.

I thought there was more furniture here than I remembered.

Seriously, birdwatching is so lame. [scoffs]

I had such a good feeling about busting today, too.

[bird cawing]

A giant birdhouse?

How could I have missed it?

- Mom! - [Mom] Yes, Candace. What is it?

Follow me outside and be prepared to look up.

We should study up, Perry the Platypus. It's like they say, "Know, thy enemy."

I don't know who says that.

But look, mantises have long necks,

triangular heads, and bulging eyes.

Ooh! Kind of like me!

- [snaps fingers] - Mantis fact!

Did you know that mantises are the only insect that can see in 3D?

- [snaps] - Mantis fact!

Look, my Inator.

Ugh, the battery's dead.

Ooh, Perry the Platypus,

try my homegrown rhubarb.

- Here, I'll break you off a piece. - [snaps]

[yells]

Did you know that they're the only insect

that can turn their head 180 degrees?

- [snaps] - Mantis fact!

Oh, just like that. See?

Oh, I can't stop snapping so loudly

- when I say "Mantis fact." - [snaps fingers]

[screams] Huh?

Oh, uh... oh!

Well, this is so sudden, but...

but yes, a thousand times yes.

And now that I've married into the family,

I can use this mantis army to take over

the entire Tri-State Area!

Ladies, trap Perry the Platypus!

Ah-ha, see that? That's called karma.

You do good and the universe pays you back

with a whole lot of evil. Right, honey?

A bird mansion? Well, that's certainly something new.

Just stop painting that vintage carousel horse and come see.

How thoughtful!

They're even going to feed me before we take over the Tri-State Area.

Okay, but you're supposed to bring the food out on the platter.

It's okay. We'll work on that part.

- [smacks] - Hey, what was that for?

[Dr. Doofenshmirtz] Um, wait. Mantises eat their husbands?

- [snaps fingers] - Mantis fact!

One of my recurring nightmares is being served as dinner.

So this is weirdly familiar to me.

[clanging]

[Dr. Doofenshmirtz] Ah!

They're so good at camouflage.

They must have slipped past us.

Wait. Look, up in the tree.

- [Isabella gasps] - [birds caw]

I can't get a clear shot.

- Buford! - What? I thought I'd shake things up.

Oh yes. [imitates] Shake things up.

Well, that's weird.

Shake things up.

Mom, look, it's the bird mansion.

It's right there.

Mom. You're looking right at it.

- Wait, you can see it? - Yes, Candace.

You mean for once you actually are seeing what the boys built?

My busting dream has finally come true?

Today be-eth "The Day"?

Yes, Candace.

- [caws] - Oh, no!

It's one of those stupid birds.

It's two of those stupid birds.

[glass breaks]

Mantis facts are a lot less fun

when your life is on the line, huh?

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

Ah, if only I had a battery.

But there's so many mantises between me and the bottom drawer in my kitchen.

Excellent! Thank you, Perry The Platypus,

[fires Inator]

Houston, it's happening again.

[continues firing]

I don't have very good aim.

[fires]

Phew!

Take my advice, Perry the Platypus,

stay single as long as you can.

If only we could get them down here somehow.

I'm Buford.

Let's try solving our problems with brute strength.

Oh, I'm Baljeet,

and I am being real judgy today.

Real judgy. [caws]

They're mockmacaws.

They love it when we mock each other.

Oh, we can use that.

I'm Buford, and I like to eat bugs.

Mmm. You know it.

Check out my Ferb.

That sounds just like Ferb.

I'm Phineas and my head doesn't make any biological sense.

[laughs] It's like listening to a mirror.

Ooh. Hold still, Isabella.

I think I can get you in the shot, too.

[continues firing]

Not so threatening now that you're back to your normal size, are you?

[laughs nervously] Good thing I appreciate irony.

No feathers this time? Come on!

What does that even mean?

Come on, come on. Big me again. Big me!

Mom! Look!

[cawing]

[camera shutter clicks]

- [battery charges] - [gasps] Huh?

[beeping]

[exclaims, grunts]

[groans] Oh, I forgot to hit reverse,

so it just made me even smaller.

Wait. Hold on.

Shouldn't we at least try couples counseling first?

[birds chirps]

Well, I wouldn't call it giant.

Great job, boys.

This deserves pie.

But... but... but...

I think our feathered friends have finally departed.

So, did you get the photo?

[Phineas] Oh, no!

It must have camouflaged itself as me

right before the flash went off.

Sorry, Isabella.

I really thought I had it.

It's okay, Phineas.

I still appreciate all the help.

And something tells me I'm gonna treasure this photo even more.

You've got to believe me.

There were color-changing, voice-copying birds

hiding the boy's invention the whole time.

I believe. [caws]

Wait a second.

[all cawing]

Not you too, Perry! You can't all be birds!

What's happening!

What is even real?

No! No! [screams]

Caw! Caw, caw, caw!

[cawing repeatedly]

[sighs] I am so tired.

The jetlag is really hitting me now.

I just...

[sighs]

I should probably get up.

This floor is just so comfortable.

Is this pine?

Two more minutes, that's all.
