(The episode begins at the beach. A man with an ice-cream on a stick is standing in knee-deep water.)
The Man: No thanks, Emma. I just want to stand out here and eat my ice-cream num-num bar. (The man is about to eat the ice cream, when he spots a triangular fin encircling him. ) *Exhales*, SHARK! SHAARK! (The man flees and throws away the ice-cream. Garfield's paw emerges from the water and grabs the ice-cream in the air. It turns out that Garfield dressed himself with a scuba gear and attached artificial shark fin to cheat the man with the ice-cream. The cat emerges from the water and moves into the beach.)
Garfield: Boy, what you have to go through for just one ice-cream num-num bar. (Garfield discards his diving goggles. While enjoying his loot, Garfield is stopped by a little girl, who carries a bucket of sand with a shovel.)
The Little Girl: Kitty-cat, could I bury you in the sand?
Garfield: Sorry, kid. The only thing I like to be buried in is linguine. (Garfield walks away, much to child's disappointment. Meanwhile, Jon is sitting on a blanket and Odie approaches.)
Jon: You want me to throw it again, boy?
Odie: Yeah, yeah! (Jon hurls the frisbee.)
Jon: Garfield's not getting the lunch I brought for all of us. I guess I'm in luck though. I don't see him anywhere. (Garfield is digging under the sand, avoiding obstacles. After a brief journey, Garfield emerges from the sand level and spits sand.)
Garfield: Eugh! How do gophers do this? (Garfield cleans his jaws.) Now I need a distraction. (Jon is applying a sun lotion on his arm. Suddenly, a single woman approaching attracts his attention. ) That'll do it.
(Garfield moulds a rectangular shape out of the sand, loosely resembling the picnic basket Jon has brought. The sand shape is covered by the basket's blanket. Odie arrives with a frisbee in his jaws, while Jon keeps staring at the woman he spotted. It takes a while Jon senses Odie.)
Jon: Huh? Oh, Odie. Uhh... I-I have to go meet someone. Watch the basket, make sure Garfield doesn't get it. (Jon walks away. Odie barks, and approaches the sand block with a blanket. Odie sniffs it, moves the blanket, and the sand shape collapses. Odie is turning around puzzled, not sure what has happened, then he tries to dig the sand under the blanket. In another part of the beach, Garfield is walking around with the basket he took from Jon and eating the food from inside.)
Garfield: Hmm, Jon goes ga-ga for a pretty face. He wouldn't catch me doin' that. Maybe for lasagna, but never for a wom-uhh uhh uhh... (Garfield is about to eat a hamburger, when he spots a white female Persian cat in a red two-piece swimsuit, walking throught the beach. Garfield discards the basket and dances wildly, while staring at the female cat. The felines establish eye contact with each other. Garfield is dreaming about embracing the spotted she-cat on a meadow and kissing her. His dream is interrupted by the same little girl, who wanted to bury him in the sand.)
The Little Girl: Hey, little kitty-cat, can I please bury you in the sand? (Garfield forcibly wakes from the dream.) Please? Huh? Can I? Please?
Garfield: Kid's got way too much free time on her hands. (Garfield heads towards the female cat, which is resting under an umbrella. Garfield appraches her.) Speaking French drives women mad. (Having spoken to the audience, Garfield talks to the female.) Crepe suzette-s? Chocolate mousse? French vanilla? (The female cat isn't reacting.) Hi, I'm Garfield. (The female cat turns around towards Garfield.)
Lola: Hello, Garfield. I'm Lola. (The cats shake their paws.)
Garfield: Wanna go get somethin' to eat?
Lola: Oh, I can't. (Lola winks at the audience.) Bonzo wouldn't like it.
Garfield: Bon-zo? (Garfield pronunciates the name "Bonzo" with a derogatory accent. A drum is heard and a male cat, twice as tall as Garfield clad in a single-piece blue swimsuit with red outlines approaches. Lola turns towards the newcomer. ) Who's Bonzo? (Garfield stares with the feline hulk with fear in his eyes, then he turns to the audience and points the huge tomcat with his paw.) Bon-zo! (The supposed Bonzo approaches Garfield.)
Bonzo: Listen to me, cat! (Bonzo is poking Garfield's belly with his index finger.) You stay away from my Lola or I'm gonna make you sorry you was ever born! (Garfield stumbles as Bonzo grabs Lola at her paw and drags her away from Garfield.) Come on, Lola! (Lola is staring at Garfield's direction. She doesn't seem fond of the situation. Garfield lies on his belly pressed into the sand.)
Garfield: That guy's strong as an ox! (Garfield emerges from the sand, then he slaps sand from his ears.) He's probably almost as smart. Maybe I'll watch Jon in action! Yeah! Then I'll know what not to do! (Garfield heads towards Jon trying to woo the woman he spotted. She is sitting on her blanket and reading a book, when Jon approaches.)
Jon: Hi! You, uh, live around here? What's your sign? Que pasa? (The woman isn't reacting, then she turns towards Jon. Garfield is observing the scene behind the rock.)
Tiffany: I think you've had a little too much sun. (The woman turns back to Jon, who is puzzled by her reaction.)
Jon: Aha, well, uh, I've got a lot of women who want to go out with me. I'm thinking of having a raffle.
Tiffany: Oh, the winner gets a turkey?
Jon: Maybe we could go... Dancing! (Jon is dancing and Tiffany is staring at him without enthusiasm. A green crab approaches Jon from the rear and attacks his left toe with pincers. Jon is struck, yells in pain and jumps on the unhurt leg, while holding the injured toe. Tiffany turns her sight on Jon once again. When the pain passes away, Jon puts his left foot on the ground with resignation.) *Sigh*. Well Arbuckle, you've made a jerk of yourself again. (Jon walks away feeling defeated. Tiffany is chasing him.)
Tiffany: Wait, you're kinda cute. (Jon is leaning to a palm tree, staring at the right. Tiffany approaches him.) My name's Tiffany. (Jon turns his gaze at Tiffany.)
Jon: Uh... Hi Tiffany. I'm... um... uh, uh... My-My name is... uh... (Garfield is staring at the scene behind a rock.)
Garfield: Hey, if Jon can get a girl, anyone can get a girl! It just take persistence. (Garfield hits the rock with clenched fist.) Lola, here I come! (Garfield moves forward into Lola's direction.)
Jon: My name is... uh... (Tiffany is watching at Jon with bored gaze.) Gee, I just got a letter this morning! Uh...!
(Lola is resting on a blanket set near a trash can. Garfield approaches her with seaweed in his paw.)
Garfield: A bouquet of seaweed for you! (Lola looks impressed by the gift. She takes the seaweed.)
Lola: Why, that's lovely! (Lola sniffs the seaweed as if those were flowers.)
Garfield: Not really, but it was free... I guess that big dumb oaf isn't around, huh? (Lola is staring with fear as Bonzo emerges from his hideout behind the garbage can. Garfield spots trouble when it's too late. Bonzo gets infuriated.) And... your intelligent friend Bonzo seems to have left also!
(Garfield tries to grin, but it doesn't prevent Bonzo from snatching him. Lola is staring with fear in her eyes. Drums are played in the background.The scenery changes, when a woman is entering a dress room to redress herself for the beach. A drum beat is heard, Garfield hits the dressing room and female scream is heard. The doors are forcibly opened and the woman runs away screaming. Garfield liberates himself from the dressing room wall.)
Garfield: Boy, you'd think she'd never seen a cat before. I'm not giving up! (Garfield lands on the sand and heads towards the place Bonzo threw him away. At the same time, Lola remains frightened as she stares at Bonzo, who forcibly grabs the seaweed from her paw. Garfield reaches the point, when Bonzo is shredding the plant with his bare paws, making Lola quite unhappy. Garfield tries to poke Bonzo as the latter is done with shredding seaweed.) I was wrong, I'm giving up. (Garfield attemps to walk away, when Bonzo grabs his tail as Lola is watching.)
Bonzo: Okay, fine! I'm gonna teach you a lesson you are never gonna forget!
Lola: (Lola rises from her blanket.) Bonzo! Leave that poor puny cat alone! (Lola is pointing her index finger at Bonzo.)
Garfield: (Garfield is trying to walk despite being help at his tail by Bonzo.) Yeah Bonzo, leave that poor puny cat alone!
Bonzo: You've been asking for it, fella! (Bonzo rises Garfield in the air, still holding him at his tail. Meanwhile, the little girl approaches once again.)
The Little Girl: Kitty cat! Could I please bury you in the sand? (The girl is pointing a bucket towards Garfield.) Pretty please?
Garfield: Get in line, somebody's already gonna bury me. (Drum beat is heard in the background, as Bonzo rises Garfield to his facial level.)
Bonzo: Heheh, what? You're afraid to let a little girl bury you in the sand? (Bonzo is poking Garfield in the air.)
Garfield: You wouldn't mind it? (Bonzo drops Garfield, who lands on his belly and face.)
Bonzo: Of course not! (Bonzo stands proud.)
The Little Girl: I can bury him in the sand? (Garfield rises into quadrupedal pose and points at Bonzo. The little girl is excited.) Oh boy! Oh boy! (The Little Girl runs left behind Bonzo. Garfield stands on two feet.)
Bonzo: Eeh, okay now, cat, where were we?
Garfield: Uh, I think you were about to let me go with a severe reprimand. (Bonzo tries to remember the previous situation.)
Bonzo: No, that's not it... It was, uh... It was... Oh! Oh! I was gonna teach ya not to come near my Lola! (Bonzo is approaching Garfield, seemingly with a desire to harm him.) That's what it was! OH! I'm gonna- (The cats stop and Bonzo turns around. An excavator driven by the Little Girl approaches and stops. The operator moves a lever, then a load of sand falls right on Bonzo, covering him completely. Jon and Tiffany are walking nearby.)
Jon: My name is... uh... Uh, ooh, I-I think it starts with a "J".
Tiffany: Well, I hope you'll share the picnic lunch I brought. (Odie follows Jon and Tiffany. Bonzo manages to emerge from the sand mountain for a brief moment.)
Bonzo: (Bonzo groans while trying to escape the sand, but he fails in his efforts. Garfield and Lola are standing nearby, holding their paws and staring at each other with a mutual affection.)
Garfield: I'll be yours forever. Or until Bonzo gets out from under the sand, whichever occurs first. (The cats stare at the sand heap for a moment, then they stare at each other.)
Lola: Oh, Garfield... Do you mean that nothing will ever separate us? (Garfield and Lola are about to kiss each other.)
Jon: Garfield! Wanna join us for lasagna? (Before Garfield manages to kiss with Lola, he turns towards Jon. Tiffany is standing near Jon, waving a batch of lasagna. Garfield forgets about Lola and imagines himself meeting a bidepal batch of lasagna and eating its filling.)
Garfield: It's been nice knowin' ya! (Garfield shakes Lola's paw and runs towards Jon and Tiffany, who are walking down the beach's exit. Lola is staring with amazement. Garfield snatches Tiffany's basket on the run, the he stops near a volleyball net.) Hey, love comes and goes but lasagna is foverer. (Garfield takes something from the basket and eats it.)
Jon: No, actually my name is... Uh... Gee, I know it as well as I know my own name! Uh, Jimba? No, Jerry? Uh, wait, Jack? Maybe it's Josh? Joe? (The characters walk towards the sunset and the episode ends.)
