Transcript

(The episode begins with yachts sailing in the lake of a park where Garfield, Jon, and Odie arrived to have their picnic.)

Jon: There's nothing like the great outdoors. Doesn't it feel good to get away from it all?

(Odie barked in agreement)

Garfield: (rubbing his hand together) I like getting away from it all. Especially when we bring it all with us.

Jon: (Jon got out the picnic blanket) I'm glad I decided to take the day off and come to the park...

Garfield: (Garfield pushes in, covering Odie's mouth) Time for lunch. Stay out of the way Odie and you won't get hurt.

(Odie was puzzled as he rushes to the cooler)

Garfield: There's lasagna here. (He got out the picnic basket from within the cooler, sniffing at it) The nose knows. (Suddenly he noticed something that made him gasp with shock) A padlock on a picnic basket?

(Jon picks up a football and bounces it on his hand)

Jon: I've finally outsmarted you this time, Garfield. I packed a maximum security picnic lunch.

Garfield: (crossly) Don't you know there's a constitutional law against the imprisonment of Italian food?

(Odie barks for the football)

Jon: Odie and I want to play some catch before lunch, Garfield. (Jon throws the football and Odie catches it, before giving Garfield a strict warning) Nothing had better happen to that picnic basket while we're gone... or else. (He then picked up the football from Odie as they went away) Come on, Odie. Catch.

(When they had gone, Garfield gets out his tools)

Garfield: Let see, crowbar, blowtorch, drill press, hammer, small saw, sandpaper... (He then stopped to ponder) hmmm... I wonder what Jon meant by... or else.

(Garfield began to imagine himself being in a court case with Jon being the judge)

Judge: You've been charged with unlawful breaking and entering a picnic basket, how do you plead?

(A Jury of Jons stood up)

Jury: Guilty!

Judge: I sentence you to eat nothing but raisins for the rest of your life!

(He hammers the gravel down three times which shattered Garfield's imagination back to reality.)

Garfield: I should wait. (He threw his tools away) It's polite to wait. (He sat himself in the lounger, staring up at the birds in the tree) I'll contemplate the wonders of nature with all the natural little creatures... little birds chirping... little squirrels eating their little pine nuts... there's a sauce with pine nuts... wonderful overlings... (This caused Garfield to fall asleep)
