Arlene
(Arlene and Nermal while watching Odie very sad)

Poor Odie. That cat is such a pig!

Nermal

Garfield's a pig?

Arlene

You never put the dog out at night.

Nermal

Why not?

Arlene

Because dogs...run away.

Luca
(Arlene,Luca and Nermal confront Garfield for what he did to Odie)

Hey! What are you lookin' at?

Garfield

Nothing, just looking for some company.

Nermal

Keep walking, creepo.

Garfield

What's going on?

Arlene

We know how much you hated Odie. We know how much you wanted him gone!

Garfield

Wait a minute. All I wanted was to sleep in "My Own" bed!

Arlene

And to do it, you cast Odie out into the cold, cruel world?!

Nermal

We saw how you locked Odie outside last night!

Garfield

Oh! I don't believe you guys, I didn't know he was gonna run away. He's a DUMB DOG! No, offense, Luca?

Luca

Uh, what?

Garfield

You can't blame me for that.

Nermal

Any one of us could be next.

Arlene

Yeah. There's no room for anybody else in Garfield's world.

Garfield

Huh? Oh, that's a little dramatic.

Arlene

Garfield, are you all right?

Garfield

I think so. Luca's about to have Odie for lunch.

Arlene

If it wasn't for Odie, you'd be Luca's chew toy.

Nermal

Yeah, he saved your life. Odie's a hero!

Garfield

Thanks a lot, partner.

Louis

Oh, yeah. Hold up, G!

Garfield
[surprised]

What?

Louis

Watch out for the popo! You know, 5-o? Controlo?

Garfield
[still surprised]

Huh?

Louis
[start to crazy]

Animal control, man!

Garfield

Oh, that popo!

Garfield
[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!

Garfield

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?

Garfield

Sure, as long as you understand that I have to eat you. [Louis moans]

Arlene

Garfield, are you alright?

Garfield

I think so. Luca's about to have Odie for lunch.

Arlene

If it wasn't for Odie, you'd be Luca's chew toy.

Nermal

Yeah, he saved your life. Odie's a hero!

Garfield

Why, because I wasn't ripped to shreds? No, Odie's an imbecile until further notice.

Garfield
[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!

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!

Happy

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

Garfield

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.

Dog #3

Yo, Garfield, good luck.

Garfield

Odie, would you mind sharing the remote with me, please? Every dog has his day, Happy.

Happy

Nice kitty.

Garfield

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.

Jon
[as he and Liz arrive in the storage room after Garfield and Odie shock Happy with the shock collar]

Odie? Garfield?

Liz

Odie?

Jon

Odie? Odie?

Happy
[stands up and faces them; now dazed]

Be happy.

Jon

This is for stealing my dog and my cat. [punches Happy in the face, startling Liz as she watches]

Garfield

He didn't steal me; I was doing the rescue work.

Jon

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.

Garfield

You had me at hello.

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?

Abby Shields

The details are sketchy, but it appears that a deranged man may be the cause of all of the trouble here.

Nermal

A deranged man? What's this?

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.

Walter J. Chapman

Aah! Good grief. It's my idiot brother. [makes a "Cut" gesture]

Nermal

Hey! It's Happy Chapman. He's going for a ride in a police car.

Abby Shields

But sources tell me that this incident, somehow, involved a dog and a very heroic cat.

Arlene
[On TV, Jon waves goodbye to Happy as Garfield waves "hello"]

Garfield?

Nermal

Hey, he saved Odie! Now he's a hero!

Arlene

Oh, I didn't realize.

Nermal

Garfield is on TV! He's a hero!
