(The episode begins in the living room at Garfield's house; it's nighttime, and Jon Arbuckle is on the phone)
Jon: (Whispering) I'm waiting for the pizza I ordered to be delivered. Garfield doesn't know anything about it, and I want to keep it that way.
(Doorbell rings)
Jon: (Whispering) That's it. Gotta go. Bye.
(Jon puts down the phone receiver and slowly walks to the door)
Jon: Gee, I wonder who's at the door. It couldn't be a pizza because nobody ordered a pizza. It must be a special delivery letter. Certainly not a pizza.
(Jon quickly opens the door to a waiting pizza delivery man, putting the money in his mouth and taking the pizza box)
Jon: (quickly) Here's your money. Give me the pizza. Goodbye.
(Jon quickly slams the door, leaving the pizza delivery man confused)
Jon: (whispering) By the way, thanks.
(Jon quickly slams the door again, causing the pizza delivery man to fall to the ground; Jon quickly runs down the hall towards his bedrooom, slams the door, and blocks it with a chest of drawers and a chair; he quickly slides under his bed)
Jon: (squealing) I did it! (laughs) And I didn't forget anything!
(The pizza box opens, revealing Garfield with the last slice of pizza)
Garfield: You forgot the anchovies.
Jon: (sighs)
(Garfield gulps down the last slice, then pats Jon on the head)
Garfield: Don't worry, you'll remember next time.
(Jon opens the bedroom door and walks down the hallway with Garfield behind him)
Jon: How could anyone eat a jumbo mushroom, pineapple, sausage, pepper, olive, onion, meatball, Canadian bacon, and pimento pizza all by himself?
Garfield: Plus, I usually prefer thick crust.
Jon: You know, one of these days, eating like that is going to give you a nightmare. Wait and see.
Garfield: A nightmare? Me? Get real.
(The scene changes to a short time later, as the lights are being shut off for the night; Garfield prepares to fall asleep in his bed, which is on a table)
Garfield: Imagine him thinking I'd have a nightmare from eating too much. Me. What a silly thing. (yawns) What a silly...(yawns, then snores)
(Garfield's dream sequence begins with him seated at the table as he is handed a plate of spaghetti, which Garfield slurps down; "Eat, Garfield, Eat")
[Jon]
Eat, Garfield, eat
Eat with all your might
Eat that pasta, eat it fast-a
'Til it's out of sight
'Til it's out of sight
(Jon then starts a pizza launching machine, which gives Garfield pizza after pizza)
[Jon]
Munch, Garfield, munch
Come on, let's do lunch
Make your belly mozzarelly
Crunch, crunch, crunch
Crunch, crunch, crunch
(Next, Garfield makes a huge sandwich, followed by Jon serving pancakes to Garfield, who is hanging on the ceiling)
Cheese, salami, ham and Swiss
Whole wheat, rye and white
Sliced tomatoes, tons of mayo
Love at first bite
Garfield, you're an awesome eater
Yes, you are the top
Butter betters, bitter batter,
You don't have to stop!
Double snack it
You can hack it!
(Garfield eats burgers at a restaurant where the counters goes up from 8 to 13 billion burgers served)
[Jon]
Yum, Garfield, yum
Don't you miss a crumb
At a dinner, you're the winner
Don't you pause or you'll get thinner
(Jon and Odie then serve Garfield cakes, which are on a makeshift assembly line)
[Jon]
More, Garfield, more
'Til you can't fit through the door!
Eat, Garfield, eat!
Chow, chow, chow!
(Cut to the inside of the house, still in Garfield's dream; Garfield begins to grow)
Jon: You've got to stop eating, Garfield. You're getting bigger.
(Garfield grows again)
Jon: And bigger.
(Garfield grows again)
Jon: And bigger, and--Oh, no!
(The ground rumbles and shakes until Garfield's size rips the top of the house apart; Garfield sees a tree with leaves and eats the leaves, then tosses the tree aside)
Jon: I knew this would happen! He's just getting larger and larger!
Odie: (Whines; then barks in panic)
(Garfield picks Jon up and prepares to eat him; Odie runs around barking and running in circles in a panic)
Jon: I know you're still hungry, Garfield. Don't worry, I'll find food for you. Uh, how about a pizza? How about 100 pizzas?
(That satisfies Garfield enough to put Jon back down)
Garfield: And don't forget the anchovies this time.
(Scene changes to where scores of trucks with tons of food come to Garfield; one truck dumps watermelon to where a crane, driven by Jon picks it up; Garfield picks up the crane and Jon drops the watermelon in his mouth; cut to a shot of a TV set in a room where a newscaster is reading a special report)
Newscaster: (on TV) We have a report of a giant orange cat that seems to be devouring things left and right. For an on-the-spot report, we cut now to our mobile unit.
(Another person has handed him another bulletin)
Newscaster: (on TV) What's that? We have a report. He just ate the mobile unit! I'm leaving town, folks!
(The newscaster leaves the scene as quickly as possible; cut to a hot dog stand where a hot dog vendor, hearing huge clomping, sees the gigantic Garfield, and quickly makes a run for it; Garfield take a big bite out of the hot dog stand)
Garfield: Mmmm! I wish I had a mustard factory around here to eat.
(Garfield then quickly gulps down the rest of the stand)
GIarfield: Now I'm thirsty.
(Cut to a shot of two kids playing in a pool of water; they quickly see Garfield, and also scramble away as Garfield devours the entire pool of water)
Garfield: Ahhhhhh. But I'm still hungry. More food. (echoes) More food!
(Garfield stomps his foot near Jon and Odie, who fall to the ground by the stomp)
Jon: Don't worry, Garfield! We'll get you more food! Honest!
Odie: Right!
(Scene changes to a grocery store where Jon and Odie ask a store employee for food)
Jon: What do you mean, you're all out of food?
Store Employee: Just what I said. I'm all out of food. This giant orange cat came by and ate it all.
(Jon and Odie leave the store and run down to Ed's Market where, to their dismay, there are signs saying "OUT OF BUSINESS" and "NO FOOD LEFT!" They then try another store, where the shelves are empty)
Jon: They don't even have paper towels left. There's no food in the entire town.
(Giant clomping is heard again; Jon and Odie rush out of the building)
Garfield: (echoes) More food! More food!
Jon: I-I-I-I don't believe it!
Garfield: More food! More food!
(Garfield clomps and steps over a house and continues on; Jon and Odie quickly rush over to a telephone booth and make an emergency phone call)
Jon: Hello? Get me the National Guard. National Guard? We have an emergency. We need lasagna. That's right, I said "lasagna!" Fifty tons, no, 100 tons!
(Garfield pulls up a fire hydrant and drinks up all the water like it came out of a drinking fountain)
Jon: And hurry!
(Scene changes to the front of the ruined house where tanks with lasagna pass by with Garfield eating out of every one of them; a General is seen standing next to Jon and Odie and converses on the radio)
General (Speaking on radio) Operation Lasagna is proceeding according to order. In the meantime, we're filling up the Grand Canyon with chicken gumbo just in case he wants soup. (to Jon) This is your cat. How much more food will it take to satisfy him?
Jon: I don't know if he can be satisfied, General.
Odie: (barking)
(Odie tugs at Jon's leg and points to Garfield, who has devoured the last pan of lasagna and rubs his stomach)
General: He's eaten all the lasagna.
Jon: And he still looks hungry.
Garfield: (echoes) More food! More food!
(Garfield clomps away)
General: There isn't enough food in the world to feed this cat.
Jon: General...you can't.
General: I must. (speaking on radio) Attention, men! We have no choice! Bring in the air squadron!
(Garfield is seen, still clomping through the center of town where people are screaming and running away from him)
Garfield: (echoes) More food! More food!
(Garfield sees the top of a skyscraper and climbs up to the top of it)
Garfield: (to himself) You know, for a minute there, I was afraid this nightmare might get silly.
(Jon's car pulls up and he and Odie emerge from it)
Jon: Garfield! Garfield, you have to stop! You have to stop eating! Garfield, you have to stop eating!
(Garfield ignores Jon's pleas as planes circle around him; he grabs a plane and gulps it down as the pilot parachutes to safety; Garfield licks his lips as he then sees a giant flying saucer coming down toward him; he licks his lips again, but the saucer unleashes a beam that pulls him in through the bottom; cut to inside of the saucer)
Garfield: Yoo-hoo? Mr. Spock? Anyone?
(A green alien with a big mouth and teeth emerges from a side door)
Alien: Greetings, Earth creature. You no doubt have questions.
Garfield: Yeah. You got anything to eat?
Alien: Hmmmmm... Nice and plump. We did a good job fattening you up with the interplanetary hunger ray.
Garfield: Fattening me up?
Alien: But of course. You will be Thanksgiving dinner for the entire planet of Clarion. And there’ll be plenty left over for sandwiches the next day.
Garfield: Me? Sandwiches? No. No!
(The flying saucer leaves the Earth and heads into space with Garfield trapped inside)
Garfield: I’d make lousy sandwiches! I want to see Jon again! And Odie! He can have all his dog biscuits! HELP!
(The nightmare fades into the living room with Garfield tossing and turning in his sleep)
Garfield: I'll go on a diet. I'll lose weight. You don't want me for Thanksgiving dinner! My drumsticks have fur on 'em!
(Odie licks Garfield)
Garfield: No! They're basting me! They're...
(Garfield opens his eyes and wakes up)
Garfield: I know that slurp. Odie.
(Jon is seen with Odie)
Jon: You were having a nightmare, Garfield.
Garfield: That's what it was, a nightmare.
Jon: Look. I'm sorry I yelled at you about the pizza. I fixed you something to make it up to you.
(Jon shows Garfield a pan full of lasagna)
Garfield: Lasagna?
Jon: Uh-huh.
Garfield: Take it away. Take it away! Blech!
(Garfield pushes the lasagna away from him, leaving Jon and Odie confused)
Garfield: That's it. I'm going on a strict diet for 20 pounds...
(Garfield has second thoughts about the lasagna and takes it back)
Garfield: ...or 20 minutes...whichever comes first.
(The screen fades to black, ending the episode)
