“ | Hop on, boys, we're about to take off on a ride of a lifetime. | ” |
— Lawrence Fletcher |
Inspired by Dad's favorite childhood program, the boys decide to create a magic carpet, and Candace is convinced that fortune cookies will lead her to bust her brothers. Meanwhile, Dr. Doofenshmirtz plans on ruining his brother's art unveiling by using his "Stain-inator" to ruin a mysterious painting.
Episode Summary[]
Lawrence invites Phineas and Ferb to watch the brand new digitally remastered third series of his favorite show growing up, The Pinhead Pierre Show!; however they are unimpressed by the outdated effects of the magic carpet scene. Linda asks Lawrence to look at some kitchen tile samples to redo the living room, and he obeys, showing signs of disappointment that his childhood memories are not as exciting as he remembered. Phineas declares that he knows what they are going to do today.
Major Monogram is awakened as Perry drops into his chair at headquarters. He tiredly tells Perry that Doofenshmirtz has completely cleared the Tri-State Area of all grape juice, red wine, chocolate, marinara sauce, India ink, and coffee. He then apologizes for being drowsy, explaining that he hasn't had his morning coffee.
At the Better Panda restaurant, Candace tells a passive Stacy that things never turn out how she plans. Stacy offers a fortune cookie to her, and after some coincidental fortunes come true, Candace places her faith in them and takes a bowl of fortune cookies from the restaurant.
Back at the house, Phineas explains how the modified carpet works to Lawrence, and the second floor of the house lifts up so the carpet can take to the sky. Meanwhile, Perry breaks into a window at Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated and is immediately tied up to a luggage carrier. Doofenshmirtz wheels him to his hovercraft and shows him his Stain-inator. He explains that, when he was a youth in Gimmelshtump, he yearned for a career in fine arts. He loved painting, though found his muse somewhat inaccessible. One day, as he was about to give up, he gained inspiration and stayed up for three days painting his masterpiece. However, his brother Roger accidentally spilt sloppy Joe and many other foods and drinks on it. Doofenshmirtz made a solemn vow that Roger would someday pay for what he did. He explains that his Stain-inator was designed to ruin a painting that Roger would be unveiling for the lobby of City Hall.
Isabella, Buford, and Baljeet join Phineas and Ferb on the magic carpet ride as they fly through the sky. Candace further explains her belief of fortune cookies to Stacy, as the last fortune leads her home.
As Roger prepares to unveil the painting, Heinz puts the Stain-inator on auto fire, making it unstoppable. However, Roger reveals that the painting is Heinz's, and that he had spent the past two decades restoring it in order to make amends. Upon hearing this, Doofenshmirtz attempts to stop the Stain-inator from firing, but it is too late, and the painting is ruined again, much to both Heinz and Roger's dismay. As Roger ponders over his failure to unveil Heinz's painting to the public, an unhappy Doofenshmirtz lets his hovercraft crash while Perry flies off on his para-glider. Doofenshmirtz then angrily kicks the Stain-inator in frustration, causing it to fire and hit the bottom of the magic carpet as it descends into the living room. Candace leads Linda into the living room. She is impressed with the new carpet and says that it's much better than tiles. Everyone goes out for Chinese food and Candace learns not to believe in fortune cookies.
