Milo Murphy’s Law

So, let me get this straight.

There are Pistashion monsters and they're bad.

You, went back in time to 1965,

and found out that one of them had taken over some TV show.

And when you got back to the present, those same plant monsters,

had imprisoned everyone,

in a lard-themed amusement park

and replaced them with plants wearing rubber human masks.

The only way to fix this is with a time machine.

Ours is broken.

And you're looking for some guy named "Professor Time," to help you.

So, in a nutshell,

what you're saying is...

You're not the pizza delivery guy.

No, we are not the pizza delivery guy.

All right, well, I'll let you out then.

Professor Time, I am beyond pleased to meet you.

Balthazar Cavendish, big fan.

You, sir, are my idol.

Are you talking to me?

Yes. You're Professor Time,

you're going to invent time travel and change the world.

Really? And on what exactly are you basing this assumption?

Ooh, it's not an assumption. We are from the future.

Fifteen years from now, you invent time travel.

You are the great Professor Time.

You know, my name isn't Professor Time, it's Doofenshmirtz.

Yeah, we're pretty sure you change your name.

For branding purposes.

Those are mine.

I have branding in the future?

Well, of course you do. T-shirts, hats, I'm wearing your underpants.

Well, not your underpants, they're Professor Time brand.

They have your picture on them, do you want to see?

Uh... No.

This is bad, Melissa. They've got half the town in here.

And no sign of Milo.

We gotta figure out a way to escape.

Yeah, good luck with that lady.

Well, what are you guys doing?

Recon, duh! Whoa!

Would you turn around, please? We have been studying the Pistashions' movements,

but I still cannot deduce the purpose of the giant MULCH device.

Whatever it is, they've sure got a lot of guards around it.

And, so, what's your deal anyway?

You two a couple or something?

No!

Wait! You are Zack Underwood of the Lumberzacks!

Hey, somebody recognized me.

Yeah, in plant jail. I'll take what I can get.

I have your CD, I carry it with me always.

Oh yeah, Chop, Chop, Chop.

I remember that. I even heard one of the guards singing it earlier.

One of the guards? That gives me an idea.

This might be the perfect diversion.

Hey, that's Zack Underwood of the Lumberzacks.

We should get his autograph now, before... Well, you know.

Ugh. Stop foreshadowing, Bob.

Mr. Murphy? Quickly, over this way.

I never realized that Zack was the Zack of the Lumberzacks.

Yeah, I know, it's a big shock. Now stand over here, next to this lard goat.

Now what? Uh, I'm not exactly sure.

So, what am I doing here?

I was hoping for a little Murphy's Law.

That's not really how it works.

Well, I guess, sometimes it works like that.

Run!

Oh, no!

Get out of here, Zack, go find Milo, run.

We'll come back for you.

And now my arm is under a pig.

So, basically, we need you to invent a time machine.

Well, it just so happens I've already built a time machine.

Behold, the Time Travelinator!

Fascinating! It looks like a taco.

I'm gonna be someone important in the future.

Me, who would've thought, right?

Right?

Why you talking to Milo's dog?

I'm sorry. Force of habit, I guess.

You mean, he's not the... You know, with a little hat, part of a secret organization?

None of that? No. He's just a dog.

Yeah, as far as you know.

It's essential that we get back to 1965, as quick as possible.

Oh, 1965, that's where I wanted to go.

I wanted to pick up some Wyattburp orange soda there.

It was discontinued in the '70s for destroying the environment...

And you still wanna drink it?

Oh, sure. I mean, I'm not the environment.

Perry the platypus...

Whoa, what's that?

It's Perry the platypus, I just said that.

He's wearing a hat. And he's a platypus?

And his name is Perry... It's like I'm not even here.

Attention! Top priority message from OWCA, attention.

Doofenshmirtz, old-timey guy, other oddly dressed people...

"Old-timey guy"! I heard him.

Sentient pistachio plants are taking over...

Yeah, yeah, we already know... N o, but...

Here's the problem... No, wait, wait, no, no.

All right, here we go. So, I've built a time machine,

but it will not work without an element I call "time juice."

Which has not been discovered yet.

It'll probably be on the periodic table down here next to

Pizzazium Infinionite...

The time juice is an element in the future.

It made extremely accurate clocks possible

and eventually led to time travel.

So that's why the Pistashions in the future were rounding up all the clocks,

so no one can get the time juice.

Wait a minute. I have one of the clocks.

Dakota gave it to me. Yeah, I did.

Look at me thinking ahead, mention this time juice and that.

It's in my room back at the house.

What, it's not in your backpack?

Who keeps a clock in their backpack?

That's just weird.

Don't worry guys, I'll just go back to my house and get the clock.

Now it looks like nachos.

My time machine!

Oh, and the ductwork too, that was still under warranty.

How peculiar. Oh, I'm a Murphy,

that's just Murphy's Law. Right, guys?

"Murphy's Law"?

Anything that can go wrong near me, usually will.

That's a law? I've had that my whole life.

Maybe we're related.

Well, can it be rebuilt? We need this.

I don't think I can rebuild the ductwork, I need a ladder bigger than a...

Oh, you mean the time machine. Yeah, I can rebuild that.

While you guys fix this, I'll go home and get the clock.

He's either saying he's going with you,

or he regrets the impulsive mistakes of his youth. I'm not sure.

Diogee, we're going home.

Oh, uh, hi!

How has your day been progressing?

Back! He's loaded.

Got the clock.

They're getting away!

Murphy's Law, here you go.

Remind me to wipe the dog slobber off that clock.

Quick, mister, you've gotta get out of here.

There's a bunch of Pistashions after us.

Oh, I know. I sent them.

Oh, no, we're surrounded.

Wait a minute. Who are you?

Let me set the stage for you kids.

Imagine a young plant who wanted nothing more than to impress his father.

But he was knocked off a time limo and set adrift in the time stream,

until he landed in 1955.

His father had always told his kids...

Now, if you get separated what do we do?

Find an adult, impersonate them and take over the world.

So, naturally my first step

was to infiltrate Balsawood Studios

as a low-level intern.

And with that disguise, I was soon able to replace the great Orton Mahlson himself.

Which would put me in charge of the Doctor Zone empire.

Uh, what's Dr. Zone?

No? Nothing?

Apparently, I was better at stealing identities than running a TV show.

It was canceled after two episodes and no one even remembers it anymore.

And this mask is so uncomfortable.

Pardon me, I've been wearing this mask for 50 years.

Oops, probably should have taken it off when I was sleeping.

I do like the chin though.

So, I spent the last 50 years building mask factories

and replacing Danville citizens with my own Pistashion army.

And at 4.30 today my master plan will...

Oh, where'd they go?

Ugh, too much exposition.

Yeah, that's probably why your show was canceled.

After them!

OMG! That was totally embarrassing, sorry.

Hey everybody, we're back. And I've got the clock.

Ah, cool. Give me.

This is an historic moment, Dakota.

Who knew the first time machine would also be a taco stand?

Yeah, you know, you said it looked like a taco before,

it got me thinking... It's not too much, is it?

Not as long as you can take us back in time, to 1965.

And get Orton his show back.

And defeat the Pistashions and save the world...

Yeah, no pressure.

I'm gonna go back to talking to the dog.

Just a minute.

Sorry, I'm in the shower. Come back later.
