- Before we head home, guys,
I need to stop at the market to pick up a few things.
We'll stop at Gramp's market here.
He always has what we need.
- Yeah, but never enough of it.
- I'm sorry Gramps, I'm 82 cents short.
- Oh, that's okay, Mrs. Cassoletti.
You can pay me next time you come in.
Oh, Mr. Arbuckle my best customer.
Whew, I'm saved.
- Hi Gramps, I've never seen your market so empty.
- Oh yeah, well, that,
it's that new Food Monster supermarket
they've opened across the street.
Why, they're taking all my customers away from me.
- Which is why you ought to give up
and sell this dump to me.
- Hey, you get out of my store, Mr. Baggett.
I'm not selling to you and that's final.
- You'll sell, then I can tear this antique down
and put in more parking spaces for the Food Monster.
Say pal, how would you like to get triple coupons?
- Triple coupons?
- Weekly specials.
- Weekly specials?
- And contests with big cash prizes.
- Contests with big cash prizes?
How, where, when?
- Just shop at the Food Monster.
- Yes, I must shop at the Food Monster.
- Hey, wait for us.
I have a small shopping list.
- [stutters] Don't shop there.
I stock the best produce,
the finest meat.
[triumphant music]
- [Baggett] And we have a best buy this week only
on creamed yogurt hearts.
- I don't buy creamed yogurt hearts.
- So what, it's a best buy.
- Oh, well then maybe I better pick up a dozen.
[energetic disco music]
- Okay, we'll do this alphabetically.
A, anchovies, apples, apricots, artichokes, asparagus,
astronomical quantities.
- That old-fashioned market across the street
will be bankrupt in no ti--
Wait a minute, the cart that woman is pushing,
the wheels on it aren't crooked.
We make the wheels crooked,
so the cart veers near the shelves,
and babies can grab things to buy.
- I'm sorry, Mr. Baggett.
- And what is this?
The reasonably-priced sizes are
on the easy-to-reach shelves?
Here's where you put the sizes people want,
up where they can't reach them.
You put the super jumbo sizes down here,
where they're convenient.
Now, fix these while I check on my new customer.
- Cabbage, cacciatore, cake comma carrot,
cake comma chocolate, cake comma coffee.
- Odie, see if you can find me a pound of flour.
- Right.
- Gosh, a lot of these prices seem higher than I'm used to,
but I am getting triple coupons
and weekly specials and contests.
Gee, the wheels on this cart seem to be crooked.
[bangs]
And this market is so big, I can't find anything.
Excuse me, can you tell me where I can find canned soup?
- Aisle 99, turn left at yams and go about three miles
till you see prunes and hang a right.
[sighs]
[whimpers]
[sniffs]
- Looking for flour, doggy?
- Yeah, yeah.
- The 200-pound bags are on the bottom,
and one-pound bags are on the top shelf.
[gulps]
[grunts]
[thuds]
[machine beeps]
- I love this new computer price scanning,
no one ever knows how much we're charging them.
Look at that, $12 for a can of peas.
The customers never know.
How much are pears?
Attention customers, we are currently having
a special on pears, only 85 cents each.
[stampedes]
[cackles]
People will pay anything if you tell 'em it's a special.
- Mr. Baggett, sir, there's a dog over in Aisle 180.
Well, that's not pet supplies.
I'll get to the bottom of this.
[grunts]
[sighs]
You there, dog, you come down from there this instant.
[footsteps click]
[whimpers]
[whistles]
[thuds]
[whooshes]
[brakes squeal]
Stop that dog.
- This isn't soup, this is Polynesian food.
I must have made a wrong turn at the zucchini.
[Odie barks]
- [Baggett] Stop that dog.
[Odie whimpers]
- Odie's in trouble, we're gonna get thrown out of here
and John's only up to cottage cheese.
[boings]
[wheels squeak]
Don't worry, Odie, help's on the way.
[pants]
[mop thwaps]
[wheels squeak]
[pants]
[yelps]
Oh look, a special on puppies.
[barks]
You wouldn't be so happy
if you knew I can't stop this thing.
[crashes]
[wheels squeal]
We'll take a shortcut down the fruit aisle.
Here pup, eat bananas fast.
[flips] [gulps]
[wheels squeak] [peels thud]
[slips] [yelps]
[crashes]
[fruit rumbles]
We have to get out of here, Odie.
We're less than 10 items so we can use the Express Checkout.
Whoa!
[crashes]
[thuds]
[footsteps clomp]
- What's going on here?
- Your animals have made a shambles of my store.
I should charge you every cent you own.
- You're already charging it for a pound of ground sirloin.
Your prices here are high.
- Sure they're high,
but people are dumb enough to pay them.
That's why I want to put that little market out of business.
His prices across the street are half of ours.
Why, he's making it hard for me to soak the customers.
Plus, that guy has real fresh meat and vegetables,
and, and, where are you people going?
Why aren't you buying?
- Have you ever thought of stepping up to big pay
with a career in the fast-paced world of broadcasting?
- Oh my goodness, no customers.
And I might as well see about--
- Don't lock up, Gramps.
[people chatter] [lively music]
- Did you do this, Mr. Arbuckle?
- Well, Garfield deserves most of the credit.
- True.
- Come back, come back.
I'll give quadruple coupons.
More contests.
I'll even stock fresh milk.
- You saved my store, Garfield,
help yourself to anything on my shelves, free.
- Free?
I'll take some of this and some of this and all of this,
and some of this and boy--
- Gee, maybe it would have been cheaper
to go out of business.
