Phineas: I’ll save you, Susie gal! Go hide again, quick! (SUSIE disappears quickly and LOUIE enters from the LEFT.)

Louie: Hey, Boss, where is she? (sees PHINEAS.) Out o’ my way, Buster.

Phineas: I’ll fix you, you lobster mobster! (PHINEAS rushes at LOUIE, butts him from underneath with his head and mouth and LOUIE gives a bounce in the air and collapses over the front of the stage, hanging limply. PHINEAS leaves.)

Phineas: (offstage) And you! I’ll smush you, you octopus, you! (OLIVER flies in after some loud offstage noises, bounces up in the air and collapses next to LOUIE over the front of the stage.) Clem! Sheriff! Drag these sidewinders out of here! (OLIVER and LOUIE go off limply, as if being dragged. PHINEAS enters, RIGHT.)

Susie: (offstage) Can I come out now?

Phineas: Come on. It’s all over. They’ve vamoosed to the calaboose.

Susie: (enters LEFT) My hero! You’re a dol-Phin-eas!

Phineas: Shucks, ’Twarn’t nuthin’.

Susie: But however did you do it? They’re so strong and powerful!

Phineas: For years I used to be just another poor fish. But then I started eating a better breakfast every day, and now I win all my fights.
