[The episode starts with Garfield watching television inside the house. Odie comes to him to tell him to throw the stick]
Odie: Hmm.
Garfield: [uses a bullhorn to shout at Odie, the shouting causes the television to fall backwards] No! I will not throw the stick so you can fetch it!
[Garfield places the bullhorn on Odie’s head]
Jon: Oh. I should have warned you, Odie. Garfield's in a bad mood today. Well, worse than usual. [places the television back up and Odie mumbles through the bullhorn] Oh! For one thing, it's Monday. As you know there's nothing that scares Garfield more than a Monday.
[Garfield is snoring in his bed and wakes up suddenly in a panicked mood]
Garfield: Please don't let today be Monday. Please don't let today be Monday. Please, please, please, please don't let today be Monday.
[Garfield checks the calendar and sees that the day was Monday, causing him to run and scream hysterically in the room]
Jon: And then what followed was bad, even by Monday standards.
[The scene changes to Garfield hiding behind the bushes with a plan to torment Herman Post]
Jon: [narrates] He had something planned, some new way to torment the mailman. He'd been looking forward to it all morning.
[Herman Post driving a tank to deliver to the mail to Garfield’s house]
Jon: [narrates] But then, when the mailman arrived… Herman the Mailman had come up with a method of a Garfield-proof mail delivery.
[Garfield shocked to see an electric arm coming out of Herman Post’s tank to deliver the mail to the house]
Herman Post: You won't get me this time, cat.
Jon: [narrates] The mail got delivered, and there was nothing he could do.
[Garfield faints backward on the house mat and next he goes to Vito’s pizzeria]
Jon: [narrates] Then, things got worse. He went to Vito's for pizza.
Vito: [pushes Garfield out of his restaurant] No! No more pizzas for you! Not until I am paid the last 7432, you have eaten here.
[Garfield walks back home]
Jon: [narrates] And when he got back, he got maybe the worst news of all. [Garfield growls upon seeing Nermal] Nermal had come for a visit… a long visit.
[Garfield screams when he sees the stack of suitcases belonging to Nermal]
Jon: And now, here comes the worst part. [tries to remove the bullhorn from Odie’s head] I have to tell him he's gaining weight, and I'm putting him on a diet. I know. [manages to remove the bullhorn from Odie’s head] If you think those other things upset him, wait till you see his reaction to this news. But it has to be done. [speaks to Garfield] So I know you won't like it, but I'm putting you on a strict diet and that's final. Please don't hurt me.
[In town, Jon sees Garfield wheeling a trailer to an alley and carts back home a number of junk items from the alley. From outside the house, Jon and Odie hears from outside the garage that Garfield is constructing something inside the garage]
Jon: Oh. I don't know what he's doing. He brought some junk from the city dump or somewhere, and he's been in the garage for an hour building something. He just… Oh wait.
[Jon and Odie stand back when the garage door opens with steam escaping the garage. Garfield wheels out the machine that he built from scratch]
Jon: He's built some sort of invention or something. I have no idea what it does, and I'm worried.
[Garfield yawns and takes a nap on top his hand built machine, while Herman Post drives by in his tank]
Herman Post: Garfield has some sort of machine there. I wonder what it does. Whatever it is, it can't be good for me.
[Herman Post feeling worried turns back around and Vito drives down the road in his truck]
Vito: Oh, pussycat… What is that machine he has there? What could it possibly do? I have a very bad feeling about this.
[As Vito’s truck drive pass the road, Nermal walks by on the sidewalk and worried upon seeing Garfield’s machine]
Nermal: Uh-oh. What is that thing? Why am I not gonna like what it does?
[In Downtown Herman Post is out of his tank thinking and worried about Garfield's Machine]
Herman Post: Hmm. That machine of his, it's gotta have something to do with my new tank. Some way of tormenting me in spite of it. I can only imagine what he's gonna do next time I show up in that tank.
[In Herman Post’s imagination, Garfield operates his machine and an arm that uses a giant magnet]
Herman Post: Oh no! The most powerful electromagnet in the world! I've gotta get out of here!
[The giant magnet pulls back Herman Post’s metal tank before he can drive away from Garfield’s home]
Herman Post: No! A can opener!
[Garfield’s machine uses a giant can opener to cut open Herman Post’s tank and uses a giant hand to pick up Herman]
Herman Post: Stop! Put me down! Help!
[The giant hand releases Herman Post and he lands in the mud puddle]
Herman Post: That machine of his! If it can do that, it's the most fiendish contraption he's ever devised. [out of his imagination] I have to stop him before he uses it on me!
[At Vito’s pizzeria, Vito is baking pizzas for the customer but he is worried about Garfield’s machine]
Man 1: Vito! Where's that pizza we ordered?
Vito: Uh, coming right up, signore. Hmm. What could that machine possibly do? I have learned to never underestimate that pussycat. Maybe… maybe it will make the pizza, and not just any pizza, but pizza up to the Garfield standards.
[In Vito’s imagination, Garfield uses his machine to make his own pizza customized to his own standards]
Voice from machine: Hello. What kind of pizza would you like to make today? Thin crust or thick?
Garfield: What do I wanna do today? Let's see…
Voice from machine: You have selected thin crust. Would you like small, medium, or large? You have selected extra-extra super jumbo large.
Voice from machine: Would you like extra cheese?
Garfield: Yes.
Voice from machine: Extra sauce?
Garfield: Yes.
Voice from machine: Pepperoni?
Garfield: Yes.
Voice from machine: Sausage?
Garfield: Yes.
Voice from machine: Anchovies?
Garfield: No.
Voice from machine: Meatballs?
Garfield: Yes.
Voice from machine: A side of pasta?
Garfield: Yes.
Voice from machine: A side of cheeseburgers?
Garfield: Yes.
Voice from machine: Some Chinese food?
Garfield: Yes.
Voice from machine: Thank you. Your pizza will be ready in 15 seconds.
Garfield: No. That takes too long. [the machine is making a pizza] Oh man! I gotta speed this thing up.
[The pizza is placed inside the oven]
Voice from machine: Cooking pizza at 1000 degrees. Your pizza is done.
[Garfield opens the steaming hot pizza]
Garfield: The greatest scientific breakthrough of this or any other century.
Vito: I… I am unnecessary.
[The anchorwoman is reporting live in front of Garfield’s machine serving pizzas in front of a queue]
Anchorwoman: And I'm coming to you live from the hottest new pizzeria in town. It's called Garfield's. People have been coming from around the world for Garfield's pizza. Some, it is said, have been waiting in line since early August.
Eddie Gourmand: [finishes eating the pizza] In two words… dee licious! This is the best pizza ever made anywhere!
[The crowd watches Eddie Gourmand live on television from outside the TV 8000 store and they run towards to Garfield’s house where he selling the pizzas]
Vito: Please! You come in, you have the slice! I am ruined. I haven't sold a pizza since Garfield went into business. Now, I am out of business.
Voices from the crowd: Out of my way! I have to get to Garfield's!
Vito: No, no! Stop! Please! No!
[Vito realizes it was his imagination about Garfield’s machine. In the restaurant, he accidentally throws the pizza dough that landed on a customer’s head]
Vito: It was just my imagination! But it could happen. I must make certain it does not happen!
[At the Arbuckle House in the Living Room Nermal walks in circles telling Odie is worried about Garfield's Machine]
Nermal: I'm really worried, Odie. You got to tell me what Garfield's machine does. [Odie whines he is unsure] But then… what can he do to me? Mail me to Abu Dhabi? He's already done that to me 73 times. [Odie corrects him] Oh right, 74. But what if he doesn't send me to Abu Dhabi? What if he sends me to… someplace worse than that?
[In Nermal’s imagination, he is already captured by the giant hand of the Garfield’s machine]
Nermal: Don't do this, Garfield! Whatever it is you're gonna do, don't do it!
Garfield: Will you please calm down? You'll like Alpha Centauri.
Nermal: Alpha Centauri? You're gonna put me in a rocket?
Garfield: Well, how else am I gonna get you there?
[Nermal manages to escape from the giant hand]
Nermal: Oh no! No, no, no, no, no, no! I'm the cutest kitten in this world, and I wanna stay in this world!
[Nermal runs away screaming from Garfield and his Machine]
Garfield: Well I didn't wanna have to do this the hard way, but he's forced me. Here we go.
[Garfield uses the machine like a robot to chase and capture Nermal. While the machine is walking, it picks up a lamp post and kicks a yellow car which the latter object crashes down from the sky]
Man 2: Hey! Watch where you're walkin'!
[Nermal climbs a tree and hides inside the tree bushes from the robot machine]
Nermal: He'll never find me in here.
[Garfield manages to find Nermal and uses the machine to pick up the tree where Nermal is hiding]
Nermal: You wouldn't dare shoot me into outer space, Garfield.
Garfield: Oh, I wouldn't, would I? Well, watch this.
[The machine reveals a rocket prepared to send Nermal into outer space]
Garfield: Ten, nine, [Nermal screams] eight, seven… [sighs] I can't wait that long. Blast off!
[Garfield pulls the lever to send Nermal tied to the rocket into outer space. Out of Nermal’s imagination, he is screaming in the living room]
Nermal: I can't explain now, Odie. I have to stop Garfield from sending me into outer space!
[Nermal leaves Garfield’s house wheeling a trolley of his suitcases]
Nermal: I'm leaving, Garfield. I'm leaving.
Garfield: Hmm? Oh, I like the sound of that.
Nermal: I'm not staying for months. I'm gonna go home. Buh-bye!
Garfield: Wow, he left fast.
Herman Post: I got rid of the tank, Garfield. You don't have to use this machine on me. You don't even have to fling me into the mud hole. Look. I'll do it for ya. [jumps into the mud puddle and enjoys himself being covered in mud] See? How I love to wind up in a good mud hole.
[On the top of Garfield’s machine, a ladder appears with Vito climbing up to speak to Garfield]
Garfield: Huh?
Vito: Garfield! Vito is so sorry he kicked you out of his ristorante this morning. [hands over a stack of pizzas to Garfield] Here, have pizzas. Lots and lots of pizzas. Just don't start making them yourself. Okay? Please!
Jon: Garfield! I was worried about what your machine here… I mean, I was worried about your health, and I was thinking maybe you don't need to diet. And I see you already come to the same conclusion. [Garfield starts eating the stack of pizzas] Okay. Pay no attention to what I said. [A pizza box is thrown into his face]
Garfield: I never do.
[Garfield is about to eat the pizza slice but he is interrupted by Odie appearing]
Garfield: Huh? What's that, boy? You wanna know what my machine really does?
[Odie barks]
Garfield: This machine does the same thing I'm gonna do for the rest of the day… absolutely nothing. [eats the pizza slice] Mmm. You know, I could even get to like Mondays.
[The episode ends with Garfield doing nothing on top of his dummy machine]
