Garfield, are you alright?
I think so. Luca's about to have Odie for lunch.
If it wasn't for Odie, you'd be Luca's chew toy.
Yeah, he saved your life. Odie's a hero!
Why, because I wasn't ripped to shreds? No, Odie's an imbecile until further notice.
DS Dog Show Host
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Dog Show.
Well, what if I compromise a little? How about I do the rolling around with the yarn ball thing? And I'll purr. I'll purr like a Ferrari. Or make that a Jaguar. I won't climb drapes, though. That's more than you get from some dumb...dog. Oops. Dogs. [The dogs sees Garfield] Uh-oh. Oh, what? You're all gonna take it personally?
[All dogs barking at Garfield] Male Owner Down, boy! Sit!
Now, I'm gonna die! Oh, now I really AM gonna die!
[Garfield panicking while he's running]
Excuse me. Can I get through here?
[All dogs running into the arena]
Garfield?!
No one under this tarp! Ah! That's my ear!
DS Dog Show Host
Owners! Maintain control of your dogs! People! Control those animals, now! Music! MUSIC, YOU IDIOT!
[DJ put on headphones and playing "Hey Mama" by Black Eyed Peas.]
Yeah! Play the music.
[Dog Show Host sighs in angry]
That's my bad knee! Stop it!
O Odie
Garfield! Run! RUN!
[Garfield runs out of the tarp]
Alright, feet! Don't fail me now!
DS Dog Show Host
[The dogs are chasing after Garfield]
I apologize for this! Please excuse this outburst! This is highly irregular!
[Odie runs into the arena.]
Odie! [Whistles] Odie! Odie, come on. Come on, buddy. Come back. Odie! Odie, you want a treat? Huh? Buddy?
[Odie runs to arena and starts dancing]
[as Happy finds himself surrounded by the dogs, cats and rats]
Alright, here's the drill. Cats, scratch like you've never scratched before. Dogs, bite, but don't chew. And rats, see if you can get that pretty necklace around his neck. [Happy glances around nervously as the animals close in on him] Canines, felines, and vermines, it's showtime!
D Dog
[As the view turns away from Happy, his shadow can be seen as the animals attack him]
Alright, boys. Dog pile! Hit him low! Hit him high! Hit him in the legs!
Thanks, boys. The home team will take it from here. [The animals leave] Better split before Animal Control gets here.
Dog #1 Hey, Garfield, take it easy.
Dog #2 See you later, Garfield.
D3 Dog #3
Yo, Garfield, good luck.
Odie, would you mind sharing the remote with me, please? Every dog has his day, Happy.
Let's see what's on the news. [shocks Happy with the shock collar] Let me tell you something, Happy. To you, Odie might be just a dumb, stupid, smelly dog, but to me, he's all that and much more. He's my friend. Odie, try something else. Maybe there's a game on. [Odie shocks Happy with the shock collar again] Strong finish, little buddy.
[as he and Liz arrive in the storage room after Garfield and Odie shock Happy with the shock collar]
Odie? Garfield?
[stands up and faces them; now dazed]
Be happy.
This is for stealing my dog and my cat. [punches Happy in the face, startling Liz as she watches]
He didn't steal me; I was doing the rescue work.
Garfield! Odie! [hugs Garfield while Liz hugs Odie] Oh, I missed you guys so much! I'm never gonna let you outta my sight again. Never. You guys are my best friends.
WJ Walter J. Chapman
[Elsewhere, Nermal and Arlene are watching TV]
This is Walter J. Chapman with breaking news from the Midwest. Abby Shields reporting. What did you got for me, Abby?
AS Abby Shields
The details are sketchy, but it appears that a deranged man may be the cause of all of the trouble here.
A deranged man? What's this?
AS Abby Shields
[On TV, two police officers take Happy, now handcuffed, to a police car as Wendell follows them]
In fact, police are bringing the suspect out as we speak.
WJ Walter J. Chapman
Aah! Good grief. It's my idiot brother. [makes a "Cut" gesture]
Hey! It's Happy Chapman. He's going for a ride in a police car.
AS Abby Shields
But sources tell me that this incident, somehow, involved a dog and a very heroic cat.
[On TV, Jon waves goodbye to Happy as Garfield waves "hello"]
Garfield?
Hey, he saved Odie! Now he's a hero!
Garfield is on TV! He's a hero!
Hey, moondust, if I were you, I'd grab a nice piece of carpet. Jon doesn't let me sleep up top. Ever.
[sighs]
Odie, you wanna sleep in the bed? Okay.
Hey, buddy. Good boy. Who's a good boy, huh? You want to sleep on the bed tonight? [in high voice as if pretending to make Odie talk] Yes, I do. Yes, I do.
I think I'm going to blow Cat-Chow Chunks.
Good night, Odie. Good night, Garfield.
Great. Wish me luck with the nightmares.
Any word from the network yet?
No, but they're looking for a dog act on Good Day, New York.
Dog act?! Story of my life: looking for a dog and I'm stuck with a cat!
I thought the segment went quite well.
[mockingly]
"I thought the segment went quite well." Of course it went well, you toad! The fifty housewives who saw it loved it. [sees his brother, Walter J. Chapman, presenting the news on TV] Oh please, what a know-it-all! And everybody always said I was the handsome one. I was the smart one. And I was born first! But there you are, "live from The Hague", and here I am, stuck working with this sack of dander on a dead-end regional morning show.
Garfield! Did you eat all four boxes of lasagna?
It's not my fault. They started it.
What am I gonna do with you?
Love me. Feed me. Never leave me.
Come on. Let's go for a ride to someplace you love that always leaves you feeling pampered and refreshed.
Huh? Oh, I know... Chuck E. Cheese. Thank you. No? Wendy's? Taco Kitty? No? Well, I'm stumped. Maybe Olive Garden for you? The only time I ever leave my cul-de-sac is when Jon takes me to the vet, which he's been doing a lot recently, and it appears to have nothing to do with me. Jon must want to go for his own reason.
Okay, what am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? What... What am I gonna do? I've waited for this night my entire life.
If you tell her the truth, you'll feel much better. And you won't have to see her anymore. It's kinda creepy having a vet around the house, anyway.
I can't just go out and pretend like nothing's happened, can I?
Well, I sure could. The one thing you can't do is tell her the dog's gone.
No! That's not what I said! Schmuck.
Well, there's nothing wrong with Garfield. He's just a happy, fat, lazy cat.
No need for a second opinion.
I know you do. You know, you care about him more than any owner I've ever known.
"Him" has a name. Is this an H.M.O.?
Let's get Garfield in for his dip. I wanna talk to you in private.
Mr. Pathetic, you've had a crush on her since high school. Would you please just ask her out so she can reject you, and we can get on with my life?
I have to ask her out. Wish me luck.
Okay, go get 'em, big tiger. You the man. You the fella. You the boss. You preach to her. Show her how the cow eats the cabbage, you hopeless loser. Betty, today, why don't you start me off with a Swedish massage, a manicure and a pedicure, okay? Seaweed wrap, loofah, belly rub, tail waxing and then crack my toes to finish.
SR Sir Roland
Once more unto the breach, dear friends! Once more!
[The animals rush towards the exit in overwhelming numbers while barking and meowing. Garfield is also among the crowd of escapades.]
Go, go, go, go, go!
Dog #1 I'm going! I'm going!
Run! Run! Go! Go! Get the door!
Dog #2 [They reach the outdoors and escape into the streets.]
Hey, there's a fire hydrant!
D3 Dog #3
Don't stop! Don't stop!
M McGillicudy
Code blue! Code blue! We got runners! We got runners! Halt! Stop! You have not been cleared for release.
[Mrs. Baker answers the door to Jon and Liz]
Hi. I'm Jon Arbuckle.
Uh, I think you have my dog, Odie.
Mrs. Baker Oh, I think you're mistaken.
No, I saw the flier. Odie's my dog.
Mrs. Baker No, he's Happy Chapman's dog.
[confused]
Happy Chapman? [Mrs. Baker holds up a hand as if to say, "Hold on a second", as he and Liz look at each other] What?
Mrs. Baker [holding an autographed picture of Happy]
The gentleman with the cat on Channel 37. He came and took Odie home. Odie is the family name, you know? [Jon and Liz look at each other again] Well, uh… Good day.
[Mrs. Baker shuts the door anyway. Jon and Liz turn away in shock]
Happy Chapman took Odie? Do you think that he's got Garfield, too?
I don't know, but we're gonna find out. [she and Jon walk away]
Garfield, are you all right?
I think so. Luca's about to have Odie for lunch.
If it wasn't for Odie, you'd be Luca's chew toy.
Yeah, he saved your life. Odie's a hero!
Louis Oh, yeah. Hold up, G!
Louis Watch out for the popo! You know, 5-o? Controlo?
Louis [start to crazy]
Animal control, man!
[Louis, a chubby little mouse who was running when Garfield arrives]
Louis! What are you doing in the house, when Jon's home?
Louis Sorry, Garfield. Man, I couldn't help it!
Look, when he sees you he expects more from me. Don't you get that?
Louis Jon's got those macadamia nut cookies! I'm trying to maintain. You understand?
Sure, as long as you understand that I have to eat you. [Louis moans]
