This is a page for the transcripts of the Quickies from Garfield and Friends Season 7
Quickies are typically based off of Sunday strips from either the Garfield or U.S. Acres comic strip. Some of them have a fair bit of dialogue, others have one or two lines, and a few have none at all. While some of the dialogue is kept the same, others is added, removed, or altered.
Run into the Wall Contest[]
(Garfield is just curling up to sleep when Odie trots up to him with a stick in his mouth)
Odie: Whimpers (Garfield wakes up)
Garfield: No, I will NOT throw the stick so you can fetch it.
Odie: Whimpers (He hops in place excitedly)
Garfield: Instead of that, how ‘bout a contest?
Odie: (nodding) Yeah! Yeah! Yeah yeah!
Garfield: OK, (He stands up) this is the “Running into the Wall” contest! (He points up) First one to run into the wall wins! On your mark… (He crouches down, ready to race. Odie is quick to join him) get set…go! (Odie takes off and slams himself directly into the wall)
Odie: Ow! (He flops down on his back after hitting the wall so hard he left a crack in it) Bark!
Garfield: You win. (He goes back to sleep)
Rodent Rebellion[]
(Garfield is sleeping on the floor. Jon starts yelling at him from off-screen)
Jon: The mice are back, Garfield! (A bunch of mice run over and around Garfield)
Garfield: So there are a few mice around. Big, fat, hairy deal. (He closes his eyes in an attempt to sleep)
Jon: You’re not carrying your weight around here, Garfield! You’re supposed…gasp! Oh no! (Garfield opens his eyes again) Squirrels! (A multitude of squirrels runs over and around the cat) There are squirrels in the house!
Garfield: And a couple of squirrels. So what? (He closes his eyes again)
Jon: Garfield, you have to…oh no! (The cat opens his eyes) Now THIS?! I can’t take it any more! (A herd of armadillos runs over Garfield) I can’t stand this! YAAAAAHHHH!
Garfield: I guess (A door slam is heard) the herd of armadillos pushed him over the edge. (He goes back to sleep)
In the Middle of the Back Routine[]
(Jon is sleeping in his bed when Garfield walks up to him on all fours and stares at him)
Garfield: Hmm, (he looks at the viewers) the old Stare-him-in-the-face-until-he-wakes-up routine isn’t working. (He turns around and swats Jon with his tail) And the slap-’im-silly-with-the-cat-tail routine isn’t making it, either. (He starts walking away) Time to call in the heavy artillery. (He hops off the bed) Odie! (He points up. The pup trots to him)
Odie: Pants (Garfield points toward Jon with his thumb. Odie sneaks up, lifts the blanket, and sticks his wet nose in Jon’s back)
Jon: Whoa!
Garfield: Yes! (He pumps his fist and gestures to the bed) It’s the cold-nose-in-the-middle-of-the-back routine! Gets him every time. (He puts his paws behind his back)

Strange Morning[]
(Garfield takes a seat at the table, takes the lid off the sugar bowl, and starts scooping sugar into his coffee cup. He yawns, still waking up for the day, and after about a half-dozen scoops of sugar, he stirs it, puts the spoon back, and takes a big swig from the cup. He quickly realizes that he made a mistake and spits the sugar out of his mouth, forgetting to add the coffee. He grabs the coffee pot and pours it into the cup)
Garfield: (while rolling his eyes) Mornings.
Seeking Bone 2[]
(Odie is looking for something)
Odie: Repeated sniffs (He searches under the table, around a lamp, and inside a mousehole) Hmm! (However, he is still unable to find what he is looking for) Sniffs (He searches around Jon's chair, where Jon is sitting and reading a newspaper, and spots something underneath it) Hmm! Sniffs (He goes to investigate) Mm-hm! (He emerges with the bone in his mouth, tipping Jon and the chair over in the process, grinning)
Wonderful Dream?[]
(Garfield sleeps, and then sleepwalks, over to a snoozing Odie and gives him a big kick to his rear)
Odie: Yowl! (Garfield turns around and returns to his bed, waking up soon after)
Garfield: Yawn! I had the most wonderful dream last night. (He goes back to sleep) Snore (Just then, Odie lands on top of him, waking him up and dazing the both of them)
Stupid Recliner[]
(Garfield walks to his recliner and flops into it. He pulls the lever to get his feet up, but nothing happens. He pulls it several more times and then stomps on the chair, but nothing happens)
Garfield: Stupid recliner. (He taps the arm of his chair with his finger. All of a sudden, the recliner works and begins smashing the footrest into his face)
Fall from a Tree 2[]
(Garfield runs up to a tree and puts his paw to his ear. He heard birds chirping above him. He tiptoes around and slinks up the trunk, soon getting to the branch with a nest of baby birds. After taking one step on the branch, he loses his balance and falls. He holds onto the branch for dear life when a bird appears in a nearby knothole and begins tickling his tummy)
Garfield: Ha, ha, ha ha! (His grin gets bigger the more he gets tickled) Ha ha! Hoo! Hoo! Oh, ho, hoo hoo! (He soon has to let go and he falls onto the ground with a thud) AHHHH!
(He returns inside. Jon is on the chair reading a newspaper)
Jon: Enjoy yourself outside, Garfield? (The fat cat walks up, bruised from the fall)
Garfield: I thought I’d die laughing.

Rat Hole[]
(Garfield chases Odie around the house. The cat leaps at the pup, who slides into a mousehole. Garfield slams face first into the wall and flops backwards. He sits up)
Garfield: (looking around) Odie? Odie? (He looks into the mousehole. Odie gives him a lick from inside)
Odie: Slurp! (Garfield rests his head in one paw and taps his fingers on the floor, giving an exasperated look to the audience)
Spray Soda Pop[]
(Garfield notices a can of soda on the counter)
Garfield: Jon’s soda pop! (He gives it a vigorous shake and then sets it back down on the counter, ready to burst. He stands next to it, casually looking at the ceiling, when Jon arrives and notices the pop that’s ready to pop)
Jon: (deviously) Aha! He thinks I’m going to open this and spray soda pop in my face. Heh heh heh heh. (He grabs the can) Well we’ll just see who has the last laugh. Hee hee yeah! (He points the can at Garfield and opens it, only to be launched backwards by it) Whoa!
Garfield: Ha.
Play in Mud![]
(Jon opens the door and notices his pets playfully throwing mud at each other. Jon runs out and joins them. Soon, they are all covered in mud)
Jon: Gee, that was fun, boys, but I gotta get ready for my date at 7:00. (His date arrives and stands over him. Jon and the pets notice) Or was that…6:00?
Hang in the Ceiling[]
(Garfield gives a bungee cord that is tied around his waist a firm tug and then bungees down to a sleeping Jon. He gives Jon a kiss on the cheek)
Garfield: Kiss!
Jon: Mutters (Garfield appears again, wiggling his fingers. Jon is caught completely off-guard by him) AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! Garfield, what in the world do you think you’re doing?! (Garfield bounces down)
Garfield: Why, being your bungee buddy, (He grabs Jon’s face) you silly neener-head! Neener, neener! (He rapidly kisses Jon’s forehead) Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! (The last one is a bit longer) KISS! (Jon lies with crossed eyes as Garfield hangs above him)
