You look like a mummy, dude. A beach party mummy.
(sheepishly) Well, actually, I had a pretty good time. Jimmy: (also sheepishly) Well, so did I. (A beat.) Cindy: But the next one is gonna stink! Jimmy: Well, I wasn't gonna invite you anyway!
In Beach Party Mummy , the third episode of the first season of Phineas and Ferb , the boys build an elaborate Egyptian-themed beach in their backyard during a heatwave. While Candace tries to get their mother to notice the massive, sun-baked, and ultimately short-lived construction, Perry the Platypus faces off with Dr. Doofenshmirtz and his Magnet-inator. This early episode established the series' signature formula of creative, fast-paced storytelling. The script for this episode is not available in full here.
