(Odie is running around the house, jumps over to neighboring house and into to the basement. He breaths a sigh of relief.)
Garfield: Found you!
(Odie startles. Garfield blows into whistle. Odie begins to cry. Garfield drags him out.)
Garfield: You can run, but you can't hide.
(Jon arrives.)
Jon: You found him again, Garfield! Don't fight me! You're going to get a bath! (he grabs Odie)
Garfield: Yeah, I know I'm a rat. That's what happens, when you eat as much as cheese as I eat.
(Scene change: The house)
Jon: (attempts to get Odie into washing bowl) Odie, you're going to get a bath, whether you like it or not! (finally manages to Odie into bowl, and begins watching. Garfield watches the bath on the chair.)
Garfield: (chuckles) This is better than television.
(Scene change)
(Odie whimpers, as his bath is over)
Jon: Now, if you just stay out of the dirt, I won't have to do that again.
Garfield: I'm all set. Let'er rip! (Garfield wears a yellow rain coat and hat, as Odie dries himself.) Let's see, if Jon did it right. (reads the label on Odie) "Soak in warm water, use no bleach or iron, drip dry." Most people don't know that dogs come with washing instructions.
Jon: (walks into living room) I don't like washing Odie anymore than Odie likes being... Hmm?
Salesman: (in a commercial) Are you sick and tired of washing your dog, pooch, hound or mongrel? Well, you name the Schlocko Laundromutt, the worlds only computerized dog washer! The Schlocko Laundromutt wash, bathe, cleanse, sponge, swab and spin-dry your canine! Just dress your dog into Schlocko Laundromutt-collar. It senses, when your pooch is in need of a bath, and Schlocko Laundromutt goes to work. The patent pending dog detector activates the Laundromutt. It sees, seizes, and gingerly bathes your pup, all without you soiling your little pinkies! That's the Schlocko Laundromutt! (Jon runs to the phone and starts dialing) Approved for poodles. Call this number, order yours today!
Jon: I'm calling! I'm calling! (continues the dial)
(Scene change)
(The mailman delivers a large box to Jon's house. Jon opens the door.)
Jon: At last! It's here!
(Secene change)
(Jon is holdin the Schlocko Laundromutt-collar)
Jon: This won't hurt a bit, boy. (Jon puts the collar on Odie)
Odie: Huh?
Jon: Now, every time you get dirty, the machine will sense it, and clean you up. (Jon makes final adjustments.) Garfield, give it a test.
Garfield: This is for science.
(Garfield pours a mug of dirt on Odie. The Laundromutt collar activates and the Laundromutt spins into action. He picks up Odie rather forcibly.)
Jon: Gee, I hope I connected it right.
(The Laundromutt throws Odie into a tub, where he rolls around.)
Garfield: (laughs evilly) I love it!
(The Laundromutt picks up Odie from the tub and dries him. It then goes back to stand-by.)
Jon: Well, I guess it works. I'm going to buy more soap. (leaves)
Garfield: You have no idea how much I enjoyed watching that.
Jon: (opens the door) And Odie. Keep clean, or the Laundromutt will wash you again.
Garfield: (grins evilly) Yes Odie. "Keep clean, or the Laundromutt will wash you again."
(Odie whimpers. Garfield goes to pick up a bucket of mud off-screen. Odie startles, when he sees it, and runs away.)
Garfield: I always keep a bucket of mud just off camera. Doesn't everyone?
(Garfield runs opposite to where Odie ran. Odie runs around. Garfield is waiting outside at the backdoor and sticks a paintbrush into the bucket. He then holds right above the pet door. Odie runs to the kitchen and thinks he's safe. He runs through the pet door, and, in slow-motion, Garfield brushes Odie with mud.)
Garfield: Oh my! Look, how filthy Odie has got. Odie needs a bath.
(The Laundromutt activates and Odie gets scared. The Laundromutt smashes through the door. Odie sees it he but can't escape. The Laundromutt picks up Odie and forcibly takes him for a bath.)
Garfield: Hey, you've got your hobbies, I've got mine!
(The Laundromutt washes Odie very strongly, and afterwards throws him away, still wet.)
Garfield: (laughs) I can't take much more of this! (continues laughing as he walks away)
(Odie whimpers)
Garfield: (goes to his bunk) Odie getting washed. They ought to make a series out of it. I'd watch. (goes to sleep)
(Odie ponders, then snickers evilly. He takes off the collar and goes next to sleeping Garfield.)
(Scene change. Odie brings Garfield a chili dog and grins evilly. Garfield unknowingly wears the Laundromutt collar. )
Garfield: I smell a chili dog with onionroll, relish, and hot mustard. Indeed! Odie! How semi-considerate of you! (eats the chili dog) Thanks. That was adequate. I even got some on myself. It's scientifically impossible to eat a chili dog without wearing a...
Odie: Uh-huh.
Garfield: It's a goid thing I don't have one of those collars like... (The collar starts beeping, and only then Garfield notices he's wearing it) You know, Odie, this washing thing ain't as funny as I thought.
(The Laundromutt activates and Garfield runs away from it. Odie laughs. The Laundromutt catches Garfield and drags him to the tub, with Garfield using his claws to resist.)
Garfield: No! No! You mustn't wash a kitty cat! Could I just have a sponge bath?
(The Laundromutt washes Garfield forcibly and finally dries him. Odie laughs hysterically at Garfield's expense. Garfield walks to Odie, his fur completly static.)
Garfield: Do we have any styling mousse?
(Later Odie is seen combing Garfield)
Garfield: Yeah I guess it was a rotten thing to do to you. But let's analyze who's fault this was.
Jon: (off screen): Guys, I'm home! and I brought pet shampoo, fur conditioner, doggy bathsalts and... (Jon sees angry Garfield and Odie. Garfield is holding a bucket of mud and Odie holds the collar.) Guys? (starts retreating) Uh, guys, put those down. Guys this isn't funny. Guys no! Put that mud down! (Garfield and Odie chase Jon off-screen and put the collar on him and soak him with mud. The Laundromutt moves across screen and drags mud-soaked Jon for a bath.) No! Stop him! Unplug him! Help!
(The Laundromutt washes Jon with force. Garfield and Odie laugh at his expense.)
Garfield: Come on, Odie. Let's go play in the mud.
Jon: (tries to get away, to no avail) I'm clean! Whoa! Aah! Turn it off! Whoa-aa! HELP!!!!!!!!
(The screen irises out.)
