[The episode starts off in a snowy forest. The camera pans over as we see Jon driving his car through the snow]
Jon: We're almost there, guys. Wasn't it nice of my friends to loan us their cabin in the mountains for the weekend?
Odie: [Pants]
Garfield: [Shaking] Brrr! Couldn't you find any friends with a condo on Maui? Next to a good Italian restaurant? [To Odie] Hey Odie.
Odie: [Barks]
Garfield: How come you're not hanging your head out the window?
Odie: [Nods no]
Garfield: He-aww, c'mon! Dogs love to hang out a car window, lettin' their tongues flap in the breeze. [He imitates what he's describing]
[The window soon opens as Garfield peeks through]
Garfield: Aren't you just dying to do this? [Sticks his tongue out the window]
[He soon gets hit with a few snowballs and he goes back in, now somewhat resembling Santa Claus]
Garfield: [Deadpan] Ho, ho, ho.
Odie: [Snickers] [Pants]
[Jon continues driving through the snow, and they soon arrive at their cabin the following scene]
Jon: Hey now, isn't this great? [Scene cuts to inside the cabin] This is a real rustic cabin!
Garfield: [Enters with snow on his paws] Rustic; It's another way of saying "dump."
Jon: You like this place, Odie? [Pats his head]
Odie: [Barks] Yeah, yeah...
Garfield: You call this a vacation spot? Where's the color TV? Where is the sauna? [Panics] Has this place even been sanitized for my protection?! [Climbs up the cupboard; he opens the cabinet and looks inside] Uh-hum.
[The cabinet is shown to be empty]
Jon: [Walks in] I guess I should have brought food.
Garfield: [Sarcastically claps his hands]
Jon: [Walks to the door] I'll go to that little market we saw down the hill. Be right back! [Shuts the door and leaves]
Garfield: Three days in a cabin with no TV and no phone and no microwave....it takes someone of very low intelligence to be happy here.
[Odie runs up to Garfield]
Odie: [Pants & barks]
Garfield: [To audience] I rest my case.
[Scene transitions to the Small Market]
Jon: ...and a dozen eggs-- No, make that two dozen, and a couple of steaks...
[Scene cuts to inside, as the cashier pushes a bunch of bags full of food to see Jon]
Cashier: Got enough food here for a small army.
Jon: Small army, huh? That's not enough for Garfield... Let me know when I have enough for a large army.
Cashier: Don't blame you stockin' up. [Pushes the bags to Jon; Jon grabs them] Not with that big blizzard tonight.
Jon: Blizzard? I'd better get back to the cabin. [Runs out the door] I can't leave Garfield and Odie alone. [Returns to the cashier] [Lightly chuckles] You'd probably like me to pay for these, wouldn't ya?
Cashier: Might be nice.
[Scene transitions back to the cabin, where Garfield is playing checkers]
Garfield: I'll move to here. [Pushes his token. He moves to the other seat, revealing that he was playing by himself. He moves all the tokens towards him] I win.[Moves back to the other seat, pretending to be upset] Hey, wait a minute, you cheated! [Hops over to the other seat] I did not. [Moves seats] Did too! [Moves seats] Did not! [Moves seats] Did! [Moves seats; he slaps the checkerboard off the table] I don't want to play with you anymore. [Hops off and walks to Odie, who's looking out the window] Whadaya see out there, Odie?
Odie: [Whimpers as he looks outside; the blizzard appears to be worsening]
Garfield: [Wipes around the window to see better] Uh oh... That isn't dandruff fallin' out there.
Odie: [Whimpers]
Garfield: [Walks to the door] We'd better get outta here before we get snowed in.
[Garfield attempts to open the door, but struggles. Upon opening the door, he instantly gets covered in snow]
Odie: [Sniffs the snow. He digs in and retrieves Garfield from the pile]
Garfield: [Shivers] Too, ooh, late.
[Scene transitions to Jon driving through the snow as the blizzard continues. He's suddenly stopped by a ranger, who'd have blocked the road. Jon gets out of his car and runs up to him]
Jon: I have to get through!
Ranger: Sorry. All roads are closed.
Jon: But I have a cat and a dog in a cabin up there, and they don't have any food.
Ranger: Don't worry. Cat can go without food for a long time.
Jon: [Looks at his watch] Yeah. This one I'd say for almost an hour.
[Scene transitions back to the cabin, which is covered in snow.]
Garfield: I don't know how long we can hold out, Odie...I haven't had anything to eat in... [Coughs]...almost an hour.
Odie: [Whimpers as he scratches the door. Garfield walks up to him and pushes him off]
Garfield: No, boy. You can't go outside. We're snowbound.
Odie: [Whimpers]
Garfield: [Walks to the kitchen] There must be food here somewhere.
[He scurries through the cabinets off-screen. Scene cuts to reveal that they're all empty. Garfield continues looking until he stumbles across somthing]
Garfield: [Gasps] Look! [Grabs a cracker] A cracker! [Kisses it] Odie, I found a cracker. I'm saved! [A mouse takes the cracker and eats it] I'm not saved! I'm... [The screen begins to shake. Odie grabs onto the leg of a table] Don't worry, Odie, It's not an avalanche. [Camera pans down to Garfield's stomach] It's just my stomach rumbling.
Odie: [Continues to scratch on the door]
Garfield: I told you, you can't go out. [Odie stops as he looks at Garfield] I have to get my mind off food. [Begins pacing around the living room] If I think about food, I'll go bananas! And apples and pie and ice cream! [Gasps as he covers his mouth] No, I won't think about food. Ha-I'll think about this cabin. [Looks around] What a cheesy place. [Grins] Cheese... No! There's too much at stake. [Facepalms] Steak!
[Scene cuts back to Jon, walking through the snow while carrying a bag of food. It's also night out]
Jon: I'm coming, Garfield. [Pants] I'm coming! [Snow falls on him] Uh, eventually.
[Scene cuts backs to the cabin, as Garfield flips through a cookbook]
Garfield: Filet mignon, uh...Shrimp chow mein...Spaghetti marinara! [Tears the page out and eats it] Mhm, there must be a picture of meatballs in here somewhere. [Resumes looking]
[Scene cuts to Odie, still scratching by the door. He whimpers until he stops to look at Garfield]
Garfield: [Gulps] I said no, Odie. This is it. [Crawls towards Odie] The end. I'll never see Jon again... I'll never taste lasagna again. I'll never see Nermal again. [Stops and smiles] Okay, so things aren't all bad. [Gets in a chair] I need to make out my will. [Places his paw in the stamp pad and begins writing a letter, using pawprints] "I, Garfield, do hereby leave everything I own to..." [Crumbles the paper] Nah, I'll take it all with me.
[He hears Odie whimpering and runs to him]
Garfield: We're starving away to nothingness and all you can think about is going out? Okay. [Opens door] I don't care. [Odie runs out] Go freeze your doggie nose off. Go get lost in the snow! See if--
[His eyes widen as he sees Odie running to an Italian restaurant]
Odie: [Barks]
Garfield: Luigi's Drive Thru Lasagna Palace? [Shakes his head, before jumping in relief] We're saved! [Runs towards the restaurant] We're saved! Lasagna! Ha-haa! Lasagna! HA HA HAAH!
[He soon jumps up to the drive thru window, where an employee is seen cleaning a cup]
Employee: Sorry, cat. We close at eight sharp! [Slams the cover down]
Garfield: [Bangs on the cover] You can't do this to me! You can't! [Points at Odie] You knew this was here all the time, didn't'cha?
Odie: Right! Yeah, yeah...
Garfield: Why didn't you tell me? [Continues banging the cover]
[Scene transitions to the cabin, as they both walk inside]
Garfield: So close...and yet...so far...Well, Odie...
Odie: [Pants]
Garfield: This is it. [Passes by Jon, who's cooking something]
Jon: I'll have dinner ready in a sec.
Garfield: Thanks. [Stops walking] Well, I guess this is the end, Odie. [Hugs Odie] They'll never find us in time. You weren't such a bad friend. A little dumb at times, a little wet, but...
[He soon realizes. He grabs Odie and his eyes jut out as he sees Jon cooking. Jon looks back and Garfield jumps into his arms]
Jon: Garfield, what's gotten into you? I've only been [Garfield hugs his face] gone about two hours. I'm making you my specialty - southern fried pig's liver with chocolate sauce.
[Garfield's smile immediately fades as he faints and falls to the ground. He walks back to the table, where he rips another page from the cookbook and eats it]
Garfield: Hey, that hungry, I'm not. [Jon and Odie watch in confusion] I wonder if they have a picture of a lemon meringue pie for dessert. [Continues flipping through the pages]
