## Trivia

* This episode was originally scheduled to premiere on September 22, 2001 with its sister episode, Party Hardy, but it ended up getting delayed by seven months at the last minute due to how it would've premiered nearly two weeks after 9/11.
	+ Despite this, a clip from this episode was briefly shown in a promo for Tripping Down Memory Lane.
* Although this episode premiered in 2002 and was initially scheduled to premiere in 2001, it was produced in 2000 according to the copyright date at the end of the credits.
* The title is based on the expression, "up, up and away".
* This episode premiered during the *Crazy Takes* event.
	+ Interestingly enough, the promos for that event are lost media, for the most part.
* This episode is available to watch on the And the Winner Is... DVD and the Season 4 Volume 1 box set.

### Errors

* Eric's outlines become thin when he cheers for February 30th.
* When Eric says "Europe?! Oh no!", his lip syncing is incorrect, and there is a pause in the animation for a split second after that, "correcting" the lip syncing.

## Transcript

(The episode opens with an overjoyed Mrs. White opening her bedroom window's curtains and sporting a big grin. She walks out of her apartment. It's a rainy day, but somehow, sunshine is only covering her)

(On the commute to work, she is the only happy person inside the subway)

(As she exits the train, she is still overly happy. She slams her classroom door open, and the bell rings, causing the class to rush in. They take their seats, but Mrs. White is still grinning)

**Mrs. White:**It's February 30th!

**Eric:**Yay, February 30th! (stops smiling) What's so special about it?

(Mrs. White signals Carver to get him out, and Carver gives her a thumbs-up)

(Carver grabs Eric, slams him into a nailed coffin, inserts the coffin in a steel box, locks said box, runs out of the school, hails a taxi, orders the taxi driver to go to a port, exits the taxi, and tosses the box into a cargo ship)

(The box is taken to Antarctica, where it's dumped into the freezing water)

**Mrs. White:**(seems to have watched everything with binoculars) Ok, he's gone. (turns her attention to the class) Everybody, February 30th only falls every six years on our calendars, and on this day, I always plan on taking my class to Europe!

(Outside of the classroom, everybody is heard cheering, but Eric has somehow teleported back to the school)

**Eric:**Whew! Carver should be careful where he mails items.

(Suddenly, he starts listening to everything Mrs. White is saying)

**Eric:**EUROPE?! OH NO! I have to save them from going there! Europe is filled with (we see a disturbing closeup of a Britain's teeth) disgusting teeth, (a painting of an Italian greaser about to beat up the class) violent mafias, (Tony and Tamara holding hands at the Eiffel Tower) corny romance, (a grizzly bear charging at the class near the Red Square) wild bears, (Switzerland being rained down with watches) loads of overpriced watches, (and finally, a plate of fish & chips) and really bad food! (sweats anxiously) But how am I gonna do this?! (ponders) Hmmm...

(Cut to a time card)

**The Narrator:**A few weeks later...

(It's a peaceful night. Eric is asleep. A silhouette of Edward tiptoes down the hallway with an armful of baggage. He gives Paul's silhouette a thumbs-up. Edward takes out his invisible ray and applies it to himself, causing him to vanish. He walks out of the door without making a peep)

(Camera transitions to the school. The sun is barely rising, but Edward makes it on time)

**Dallas:**Edward, you're here! (looks both ways) Is Eric here, in any sort of way?

**Edward:**No. I took 22 hidden routes, Dad is monitoring the hallway, I've applied 67 hidden surveillance cameras in his room, (camera pans out to reveal Oscar on his shoulder) and Oscar here has the instincts of, well, an owl.

**Wayne:**Wait, I thought he was a cat.

(Charles facepalms)

(Outside, the bus is heard pulling up)

**Principal Walker:**Whoa, it didn't crash in this time.

(The camera cuts to the class boarding the bus, which eventually takes off. Edward sets himself down. He takes in the views, and then he takes out a crossword puzzle book)

**Edward:**Hmmm...a four-letter word for an individual or circumstance directly causing inconvenience.

**Oscar:**(hoots)

**Edward:**No, it can't be "Eric". (taps his pencil against his chin)

(Suddenly, the page morphs into Eric's face, who laughs. A second later, it vanishes)

**Edward:**What was that?!

(In the back, Larry is looking at his hair through a mirror, but then his face's reflection is Eric's)

**Larry:**Wait, why do I look younger? (shrugs it off) Eh, I'm still beautiful.

**Carver:**(sitting across from him with Lola) Hey, greaseball, you have the face only a mother could love!

**Larry:**That's not true, jerk!

(Carver grabs him by the collar and punches him so hard that his face is now Gary Sauls')

**Carver:**Now you do.

(Edward opens his briefcase and prepares to take out a handheld pencil sharpener, but then he hears giggling inside. As he reaches in more, we hear a squeak)

**Eric:**What do you have against a man sleeping inside a briefcase, huh?

(Camera immediately cuts to the outside of the bus, and we hear Edward screaming bloody murder)

**Joey:**(waking up from a nap) Edward, how many times do I HAVE to tell you: You won't have to worry about college debt for now!

(Suddenly, he spots Eric)

**Joey:**Uhhh... (gulps and pushes the emergency bell cord)

(The bus screeches to a halt)

**Carver:**(walks in) Now now. Let me take it from here. (grabs Eric by the throat) Get out, before it's knuckle sandwich time for you!

**Eric:**I'm ok with that; I'm pretty hungry.

(Immediate cut to Eric getting ditched out of the bus in a ghetto neighborhood)

**Eric:**(eating a ham sandwich with a fist inside) This is delicious. Say, where am I?

(He sees a sign for Syracuse, and he screams)

**Eric:**(hyperventilates) How am I gonna get out?!

(Back in the bus, the class is relaxed, as before)

**Eric:**(pops back in) I gave a friendly man my allowance, 'cause he gave me a way back here if I did!

(He gets kicked out again, this time at a junkyard)

**Eric:**(spits out loads of filth) Ew, I spat out vegan food. (stands up and looks at his surroundings) Hmmm...

(In the bus, the class' activities are back to normal - but not for long. Eric appears from thin air)

**Eric:**Edward, can you believe it? I made a teleportation device back there!

(Beat)

**Edward:**(bursts into tears) **YOU DID THAT WAY BEFORE I COULD!!!!!**

(Joey is about to pull down the bell cord once again, but suddenly...)

**Mrs. White:** No, Joey! (inhales and sighs) We have no choice. We can't afford to be late.

**Joey:**Well, nobody asked him to go with us. It's not like we invited him

**Eric:**Joey, gimme a chance! When have I EVER caused trouble?

(Joey ponders, and a flashback montage of every single destruction Eric has initiated prior to this episode plays, as unfitting music plays)

(Afterwards, Eric is amazed)

**Mrs. White:**(inhales, and exhales deeply) Eric, I cannot ask politely; I am BEGGING you...to not cause any mishaps at the airport.

**Eric:**I'm disciplined, ma'am! In fact, I'll remain as still as a balloon. (inhales and pumps his head with air by blowing into his thumb. He turns into a balloon)

(Joey opens one of the windows, and Eric is sent floating away into the atmosphere. Everybody is in shock)

**Eric:**(to the audience) Help?

**Joey:** (to Walker) I doubt that's going on my record.

(Later, the class enters the airport. Mrs. White is clutching Eric by his arm)

**Mrs. White:**Well, here we are, Eric. Now-

**Eric:**I know; don't touch anything. Good thing I've mastered the arts of (levitates) hovering beforehand.

**Mrs. White:**(facepalms) Not like THAT. (walks away, letting his arm go)

**Eric:**You're so indecisive. (he brutally snaps his limbs off, one-by-one)

**Mrs. White:**(zips her head in; speaking in a demon voice) NOT. LIKE. THAT. (takes off)

(Eric shrugs at the camera. He begins eating himself, and continues doing so until he swallows all of his body, causing him to disappear from existence)

(The class approaches the front counter. Eric sees a sign that reads "Ring for Receptionist". He rings the bell. There is no answer, so he rings it again. Still no answer. Rinse and repeat for at least 30 seconds)

(Suddenly, a security guard approaches the class. Eric quickly hides)

**Security Guard:**Excuse me, folks, but are any of you aware excessive bell ringing is a misdemeanor punishable by a $2,000 fine?

**Edward:**Yes, sir. (takes out a self-published handbook of his, implying Lakeside's police force is so corrupt they had to hire him to make the laws) Said act is in violation of Lakeside statute 098 LLCS 9/5-

**Carver:** We get it, dork.

**Security Guard:**(rubbing his chin) Ya know, I have on good account (pointing to Stanley) it was YOU.

**Stanley:**Me?! Oh, absolutely not! I didn't say anything!

**Security Guard:**The aggressive comment alone is enough evidence. (writes a ticket and slaps it on Stanley's face) First come, first served. (walks away)

(Eric continues ringing the bell, but then the security guard turns his head back and slaps another ticket on Stanley)

**Security Guard:**(walking away) Tsk tsk tsk.

**Stanley:**I can't even afford these.

(The guard moonwalks back to the class)

**Security Guard:**You've never heard of "you have the right to remain silent"?!

**Stanley:**YOU'RE NOT EVEN A COP!!!!

**Security Guard:**(puts his hand over Stanley's mouth) Apapap. (hands him another ticket and whistles as he walks away)

(Tony coughs, and the guard tosses Stanley yet another ticket, which is folded into a paper airplane)

(Stanley gets so angry that his eyes become bloodshot, and we hear his heart pounding. He rips all the tickets apart)

**Security Guard:**(writing something down in a clipboard) That's it, you're coming with me.

**Stanley:**Tell that to my lawyer!

(Suddenly, he gets grabbed him by the arm and is dragged away. The guard enters a room with him and slams the door)

(Eric rings the bell once again)

**Security Guard:**(from the room) STOP RINGING THAT!

**Stnaley:**(from the room) But I'm not even- (groans)

(The receptionist's silhouette arrives, and it turns out to be an elderly man)

**Receptionist:**How may I help you folks?
