(The episode starts off one day above Jon’s backyard. Garfield is relaxing in his lawn chair snacking on a sandwich while telling Arlene and Nermal a story)
Garfield: So Jon decided to drop me off… at this all-you-can-eat restaurant. He said, “I’ll be back when you’ve had enough to eat.” He came back three weeks later. (He takes a bite) Which was fine because, by then, (He licks his fingers) it was out of business and they turned the building into a discount shoe store.
Nermal and Arlene: Laugh
Arlene: Garfield, (she crosses her legs) you tell the best stories.
Nermal: Let’s have another one!
Garfield: No, not now. (He looks at his wrist as if wearing a watch) It’s time for my nap.
Arlene: How do you know, Garfield? You’re not wearing a watch.
Garfield: I don’t need a watch. (He waves his paws in front of his face) It’s ALWAYS time for a nap.
Arlene: We’ll see you later, Garfield. (She waves good-bye and winks)
Nermal: (whiny) Wait! I want another story!
Garfield: Yawn! (He lies on his side) Some other time, Nermal. (The kitten appears on his chair with him)
Nermal: Garfield! I’m not leaving until you (He points) tell me another story! What do you think of that? (One SMACK later, Nermal is flung over the fence into pile of trash on the other side)
Garfield: (rubbing his paws) That's what I think of that. (He settles into his sleep)
(Nearby, Nermal is lying on his stomach on top of a trash can lid. Something rattles it from the can below)
Agent X: Hey, get off my head! (A bluish-gray cat pops up from inside) Gasp!
Nermal: Who are you? (The new cat looks up at Nermal) And what were you doing hiding down there? (The cat looks around quickly)
Agent X: Quick! (He grabs Nermal’s paw and pulls him into the can) Hide! He’s coming! (He peeks out. Nermal then appears in front of him)
Nermal: Who’s coming? (A man in a trench coat strolls up the street. He stops, glances around, and then continues. The two cats pop up from inside the can)
Agent X: Ah, it’s OK! He didn’t see me! (He pauses and lowers his voice to a whisper) Can I trust you? What’s your name?
Nermal: Nermal Cat, cutest kitten in the whole wide world!
Agent X: Can you prove it? (Nermal’s smile fades)
Nermal: Can’t you tell? (He blinks at him, looking cute)
Agent X: OK, I’ll have to take the chance. They call me Agent X! (He beams with pride) I’m a grade Triple-A undercover secret agent! (He tosses the trash can lid away)
Nermal: (shouting) WOW! A SECRET AGEN-! (Agent X covers Nermal’s mouth with his paw)
Agent X: Not so loud! That guy who went by, he’s part of a devious international plot to destroy mankind! You gotta help me hide! (He sees the man coming toward them) Here he comes again! Quick! (The two of them duck into some bushes. The man approaches and sees something)
Man in trench coat: There you are. (He spots a tail waving from inside the bush. He grabs it and pulls out Nermal)
Nermal: Whimpers
Man in trench coat: Hm, wrong cat. Sorry. (He lets go of Nermal and lets him drop on his head)
Nermal: Grunt! (The man leaves. X reappears from behind the fence)
Agent X: C’mon! You gotta hide me before he comes back!
(In the backyard, Garfield is still snoozing)
Garfield: Snore! Snore! (Nermal runs up to him)
Nermal: Garfield, I have a grade Triple-A (X appears from behind another chair) undercover secret agent here! Can I hide him in your toolshed? (He points)
Garfield: Yawn! Be my guest.
Nermal: Thanks, Garfield! (He shoves X into the shed) They’ll never find you in here. (X looks around)
Agent X: This’ll do, but what I really need now is some dinner! (He pats his growling tummy) I have to keep all my strength up (He flexes a muscle) if I'm gonna save all of mankind. (Nermal nods and promptly leaves)
Nermal: Well I'll go find you some dinner.
(Inside, Jon pulls a lasagna out from the oven and closes the oven door with his foot)
Jon: I’m making one of Garfield’s favorite dinners, Odie. (Odie watches from next to the table, his tail wagging) I'll leave it here to cool (He sets it on the countertop) while I bring in the mail. (He goes to collect the mail. Odie soon follows)
Odie: Bark! Bark! BarkBarkBarkBark! Bark! (Nermal peeks in through the back pet door. He looks around and spies the lasagna pan. He grabs it and bursts back out the pet door, keeping it open with his foot and then closing it slowly so as to not wake Garfield. He hurries off to give it to X, but Garfield still catches a whiff of it)
Garfield: Sniff sniff sniff! Ohh, (He opens his eyes) Jon has dinner ready! (He sits up and looks over at the door. At the same time, Jon and Odie are walking back to the kitchen. Jon sees the missing pan)
Jon: That’s a new world’s record, even for him! (He looks down at the pup, who agrees)
Odie: Right!
Jon: Gone in 15 seconds! (Garfield pulls up a chair to the counter and hops onto it, a fork in one paw and a knife in another, eager to eat. Jon, however, is having none of it) You’ve already eaten, Garfield. (He taps his foot impatiently)
Garfield: I have? (He turns around, looking positively bewildered, and then turns back)
(Cut to Garfield strolling toward the shed at dusk)
Garfield: I missed it. I guess I ate so fast I didn't notice. I hope it was tasty. (He smells something again) Sniff sniff! It’s coming from the shed. (His expression changes to anger. He races to the door and tries to eavesdrop. What he sees and hears is X telling Nermal, Arlene, and Harry a story about his spy adventures while eating the lasagna meant for him)
Agent X: And then, the enemy spies were about to sink Australia.
Garfield: (pointing) Who are you?!
All: Gasp! (Everyone notices and turns to face Garfield)
Garfield: And why did you eat my dinner, which I thought for a minute I'd eaten, but I didn't. (The other cats blink, unable to give a response. Garfield promptly shoves X out of the shed) Don’t bother answering. I don’t care who you are or why you did it. Just get out! (Nermal runs up to intervene)
Nermal: You can’t throw him out, Garfield! (Garfield stops in his tracks. Nermal whispers to him) He’s a secret agent, and he’s trying to prevent the destruction of all of mankind. (Garfield thinks it over)
Garfield: I guess we have to save mankind. Mankind makes pizzas. (He looks over at X, who has a dejected look on his face) It’s getting dark. OK, he can stay, but just for the night. (He hold up one finger and storms away)
(The next morning, signified by a rooster crowing, Garfield is still snoozing in his bed in the living room)
Garfield: Snore! Snore! (Unbeknownst to him, Odie peeks through the kitchen door at him and sneakily steals his bowl of kibble) Yawn! (He opens his eyes) I’d better get up. I have a full day of eating to get done before dinnertime. (He saunters over toward the kitchen where his bowl was, Pooky being dragged along behind him) I guess I'll start my morning with a great big bowl full of… (He swipes at where his bowl was, but gets a paw full of air instead. He feels for it and then opens his eyes wider to see one measly kibble where his bowl was) Hey, where’s my great big bowl? (His eyes narrow, and his temper rises) I have an awful suspicion where my great big bowl is.
(Outside, in the back yard, X is telling Odie, Harry, Nermal, and Arlene some more spy stories while nibbling on Garfield’s kibble)
Agent X: So, they ran me off the road, off a 1,000-foot cliff!
