This is the transcript for Underwater World
(The episode starts above Jon’s house. Inside, Garfield sleeps on his chair, snoring loudly when a succulent scent hits his nose)
Garfield: Hey, I smell something terrific. Sniff, sniff, sniff! I smell something baked and terrific. (He sits up and looks toward the kitchen) Jon is baking pies! No, bread! No, cake! Sniff sniff! No, pies, (He excitedly hops off his chair) br-- Oh, bread and cake and pies! Laughs (He runs toward the source of the smell and stops at the doorway to the kitchen) No! Maybe muffins.
(Inside the kitchen, Jon pulls something out of the oven)
Jon: Hums
Garfield: Muffins, tarts, rolls, maybe cookies. (He bounces in and around the kitchen)
Jon: I'm baking dough balls, Garfield.
Garfield: (still hopping) Maybe Danish, maybe prune Danish, maybe… (He realizes what Jon said and halts the celebration) Dough balls?
Jon: (while taking his oven mitts off) We're driving to the cove to go fishing today. (Garfield pops up next to him and glares) Dough balls make great bait to catch fish.
(Odie trots in)
Odie: Hums (He sees the casserole dish of dough) Huh? (With a mitted paw, Garfield takes a dough ball, blows on it, and pops it into his mouth. Almost immediately, he spits it out, hitting the panting puppy with it)
Garfield: Yuck! What a cruel thing to do to a fish. (He leans against the counter) Hi, pupster. Going fishing with Jon?
Odie: Yeah! Yeah!
Garfield: No, not me. You won't catch me out in that leaky boat of his getting seasick. (He takes the mitt and tosses it behind him. It lands on Odie’s ear)
Odie: Mutters (He tries to get the mitt off, and is soon able to grab it as Garfield walks to the refrigerator)
Garfield: No, no, no, I don't care about the beautiful scenery. The only beautiful scenery I want to see is right here. (He opens the fridge, only to see it completely empty) YAAAAHHHHHHH! (He trembles in shock. Jon peeks in and explains)
Jon: If you're looking for food, Garfield, I packed everything to take on the fishing trip. (Garfield ponders his predicament)
(Later, Jon has his trunk open packing for the drive to the lagoon)
Odie: Bark! Bark! Bark!
Jon: Ah! Fishing. The most glorious sport in all the world. (Garfield follows with his own pole)
Garfield: "Ah! Fishing. The most glorious sport in all the world." No, I don't care about the fish, (He turns to the viewers) but I'll do anything for lunch. (He winks)
(In the lagoon, Jon and his pets sit in their tiny boat. Jon tries unsuccessfully to catch something)
Jon: The water is so peaceful in this little cove. (Odie pants next to him) You know, guys, catching fish isn't the important part. (A bird flies by) It's the peace and the serenity and just being out in nature that matters. (On the other side of the boat, Garfield sits on all fours)
Garfield: Fishermen always say that when they've been out three hours and haven't caught so much as a sardine. (He closes his eyes)
Jon: I don't care if I catch a fish. It doesn't matter one bit if I catch… (The bell on the end of his pole rings and his lure bobs up and down) A fish! I've got a fish on my line. (Odie barks excitedly) I did it! I did it!
Garfield: (while shaking his body back and forth mocking his owner) Jon did it. Jon did it. Alert the media.
Odie: Bark! Bark! Bark! (Jon reels back and pulls up a small clownfish)
Jon: Hey, hey! There he is! He's a beaut.
Garfield: He's an hors d'oeuvre.
Jon: There we go! (He plops the fish into his bucket of water) I knew my dough balls were the perfect bait. I'll put a bigger one on and catch a bigger fish. (Odie looks down inside the bucket and sees the fish whimpering)
Odie: Huh? Ooh. (The fish looks up at the compassionate canine with sad eyes. Deep down Odie wants to do something) Moan (He looks up at his owner, who is busy putting another dough ball on the hook)
Jon: Hums
Odie: Whimpers (He turns around and sees his fat feline friend snoring. Garfield’s ear twitches. With no one noticing, Odie sticks his head in the bucket, carefully catches the fish in his mouth, and spits it back into the water. He smiles at his good deed, and the fish is also appreciative. It leaps out of the water and waves a fin at the pooch) Pants (Satisfied, he nods off for a while)
(Later, all three of them have fallen asleep in the sun. Odie is the first to wake up)
Odie: Heavy panting (The dehydrated dog wheezes, dying for a drink. He nudges Garfield awake with his paws)
Garfield: Hey, leave me alone. I'm dreaming about penne pasta in Alfredo sauce.
Odie: Mm-mm. Panting thirstily
Garfield: I don't care if you are thirsty. Hey, we're surrounded by water. Try some.
Odie: Huh? (He starts to understand) Oooh. (He scratches his head with his ear and looks overboard, unsure of drinking ocean water. Garfield has fallen back asleep and is snoring again. His ear twitches again. The desperate dog follows Garfield’s advice and slurps the ocean) Hmm? Yowl! Gag! (He recoils at the salty taste that is ocean water) Moan (Regardless, he slurps some more, putting up with the taste)
(Down below, a few fish and a whale swim by, along with a similar clownfish to the one Odie rescued earlier)
Junior: Mama said I got to find food. Got to find food. (He spots a shark swimming his way) Uh-oh. (He quickly dives for cover. The shark passes over him) That was close. Chomper almost spotted me. Now, what was I doing? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Looking for dinner. (Jon’s lure hits him on the head) Hey, there's something. (He takes a closer look and then recoils in disgust) Yuck! A dough ball. No fish in his right mind would bite on one of those things. (He looks up and spots Odie’s tongue in the water) A worm! Mama's favorite food! (Seizing the moment, Junior grabs the pup’s tongue, which doesn’t go unnoticed by the pooch)
Odie: Ow! (He pulls back, but Junior is too strong and he drags the puppy under)
Junior: Mama will be so happy with this worm. (On the lagoon’s floor, at the base of a large rock formation in Junior’s family, mom and three babies) Mama, mama! Look what I brought you.
Mama Clown Fish: Junior, you can't keep a dog down here.
Junior: A dog? Oh, that's funny. I thought he was a worm. (Junior lets go of Odie's tongue. Odie was forced to hold his breath)
Odie: Gag, cough, cough (He struggles for air)
Junior: What's wrong with him, Mama?
Mama Clown Fish: He's a dog, Junior. He needs air. (Poor Odie spins around, covering his mouth and holding his breath for as long as he can)
Junior: Oh! Well, where can he get some?
Odie: Gags cough (Just them, Junior’s brother, Red, swims up)
Red: Hi, Mom. Hi, Junior. Hey, I know that dog. (By now, Odie’s cheeks have inflated)
Mama Clown Fish: He needs air.
Red: He sure does. (He calls his friend) Hey, Bernie! Bernie Blowfish! That dog! He saved my life a little while ago! Now we got to save his! You're full of air.
Bernie: Sure thing, Red. (He swims over to the poor pooch)
Odie: Gasp! (He points at his mouth)
Bernie: I'll give him one of my big, beautiful bubbles.
Odie: Whimpers (He kicks his feet, not wanting to go out like this. At that moment, Bernie blows up a huge bubble around him, allowing him to breathe) Cough! Cough! Cough! (He looks exhausted from the struggle)
(In the boat, Garfield and Jon are both still out like lights, but Garfield wakes up and notices someone is missing)
Garfield: Yawn! Where's Odie? (He stands up and looks around him) Odie? Huh, that's funny. (He digs through Jon’s picnic basket. He tosses a few bottles and a fork out of the way to reach the sandwich inside) We're in the middle of the cove and there's no sign of him. (He sits down) I guess he fell overboard. (He takes a bite of sandwich before realizing that his best friend may be in danger. Worried, he tosses the rest of the sandwich behind him in shock) Fell overboard? (He leans over the boat’s edge) Odie! Ladies and gentlemen, I'm about to do my one heroic deed for the year. (He lifts his foot and raises his toes up, about to step out of the boat, but common sense causes him to think twice. He finds an empty glass bottle and uses it as a periscope to look into the depths) Odie! Odie! Where are you? He must be a goner. He couldn't breathe down here. (He selflessly cannonballs after Odie)
(On the lagoon’s floor, Odie has recovered and the clownfish show their gratitude)
Red: Thanks again for throwing me back, dog. (Odie grins)
Odie: You're welcome. (Bernie swims up)
Bernie: There's an orange cat running out of air over there. (At the mention of the words “orange cat”, Odie gets a concerned look on his face)
Odie: Howl! (Garfield holds his nose and waves for help)
Red: Friend of yours, dog? (Odie nods)
Odie: Pants Yeah!
Red: Come on! (He, Junior, Bernie, and Odie float over to the struggling cat. Odie opens a door in his bubble and Bernie shoves Garfield inside. Red quickly closes it)
Garfield: (breathlessly) Hi, Odie.
Odie: Hello. (He waves)
Garfield: Gasp! This is a nice place you got here.
Red: Your friend here saved my life. Would you like a tour of the bottom of the cove?
Garfield: Oh, yeah, sure. (He gives the fish a thumbs-up)
(The pets walk in their bubble to an underwater rush hour. Bernie and the clownfish lead the way)
Red: We really like it down here. It's wet, but it's home.
Garfield: Well, looks like rush hour. (They walk up to an intersection, where a starfish crossing guard directs traffic)
Red: This is the main underwater thoroughfare.
Garfield and Odie: Ooh!
Red: And there's our traffic cop. (The starfish blows his whistle, allowing the next schools of fish to proceed)
Garfield: Does he ever give out traffic tickets?
Junior: Only when he catches someone swimming over the speed limit. (He swims off, the pets follow)
(They are taken to an underwater version of McDonald’s, except they serve worm burgers and their version of the iconic Golden Arches is a blue W-shaped worm)
Red: This is one of those new fast-food places that are popping up. They have a swim-thru window.
Garfield: Anything tasty to eat? I'm famished.
Odie: Mm-mm. (He nods in agreement)
Red: Would you like a worm to-go? (Another fish slurps up a worm)
Garfield: I'm not that famished. (He winces in disgust)
Junior: That reminds me. I promised to find Mama a worm. See you later! (He waves good-bye to the others)
(The next stop on the tour is the Seahorse Races)
Announcer: The seahorses are at the gate. The track looks fast but a little wet.
Odie: (pointing) What's that?
Garfield: Well, it looks like some sort of, uh, race track.
Red: Yes, (four seahorses are lined up about to race like the Kentucky Derby) and it looks like a race is just about to start. (A bell starts ringing, and the gates are opened)
Announcer: And there they go! (As the race begins, Horse #1 starts fast, Horse #3 is second, Horse #2 brings up third, and Horse #4 flags behind in last) Sea Biscuit is off to an early lead, followed by Pony Boy, Little Squirt and Amphibian at the rail.
(Elsewhere, Junior looks for something to eat for his family)
Junior: Hums (While searching, he accidentally stumbles upon Chomper the shark) Gasp!
Chomper: Evil laughter
Junior: Ohh! It's Chomper! Help! (He swims for his life. Chomper follows, because sharks have to eat too)
Chomper: Evil laughter
Announcer: Approaching the finish line, it's Pony Boy and Sea Biscuit! Pony Boy and Sea Biscuit! (The crowd is going nuts. Pony Boy draws close during the home stretch, but Sea Biscuit ultimately prevails) And it's Sea Biscuit the winner! (Anemone bloom like flowers)
Crowd: Cheers
Garfield: Laughs (He applauds and Odie cheers as well)
Fish: Sea Biscuit!
Junior: (in the distance) Help! It's Chomper! (Hearing the cry for help, Odie and Garfield turn to their left and look up)
Red: That's my brother! It's Chomper! We got to do something! (Red swims up to help his brother. Garfield looks around for a solution, and spots one in Jon’s dough ball)
Garfield: Perfect!
Odie: Huh?
Garfield: Leave it to me. I think I know. (He swims out of his and Odie’s bubble, puffing his cheeks to hold his breath)
(Chomper has been swimming in circles trying to catch Junior)
Garfield: Whistles! (Junior sees his friend) Hey, hey! Run! (He smiles as Junior escapes, only for Chomper to target him next) Uh-oh. I'm fish food. (He taunts the shark, narrowly avoids his sharp teeth, and swims away, Chomper still in pursuit. Garfield grab’s Jon’s line and flings it at the shark) Here, fella. Have a dough ball. (Chomper bites it, only to realize that it has glued his jaws shut. He tries opening his mouth, shaking violently, and swimming angrily in circles, which rings Jon’s bell)
Jon: What? I caught another fish? Ohh... (Well, technically yes. The shark on the other end pulls hard and sends him and his dinghy rocketing fowards) WHAAOOOO! Whimpers (While Chomper goes around the lagoon, Jon has no choice but to hold on to the boat, and his bait) AH HA HA! DA HA HA HA! OOH! OH UH, AH HA HA! Whimpers. WHOOOAAA- OOF!! (He crashes into the lighthouse’s island in the middle of the water, destroys Jon's boat and Jon lands on the dock) Huh? He Ha Ha, Ah Ha Ha Ha Ha- (He celebrates, despite losing his rod to a shark)
(Down below, Garfield swims for the bubble. Odie happily lets him in)
Garfield: Gasping for air
Bernie: Chomper's heading out of the cove and into the ocean.
Red: You saved us... again!
Junior: How can we show our appreciation?
Garfield: Well, the air's getting a little thin in here, so, if you don't mind...
Red: Certainly! Bernie?
Bernie: At your service. (He adds more air into the bubble, causing it to rise to the surface)
Garfield: (to the audience) Going up? (The pets rise above the water and the bubble pops)
Garfield and Odie: Whoa! (They splash into the water)
(Meanwhile, Jon is mourning the loss of his pets)
Jon: Garfield? Odie? They must have gotten knocked overboard along with most of my gear. Oh, no. No… (The cat and dog duo walk up behind him) They were such wonderful friends. (The pets look at each other)
Odie: Huh?
Jon: (continuing) So cute, so adorable.
Garfield: Ahem!
Jon: Don't try to cheer me up, Garfield and Odie, I'm missing Garfield and Odie.
Garfield: (holding up a number of fingers) Three, two, one.
Jon: Garfield! Odie! You're safe! You're safe! (He embraces his pets)
Garfield: Not if you keep hugging us like that.
Jon: Let's celebrate!
Garfield: Laughs
Jon: (continuing) We'll have lunch. Except that there's no lunch. We're stuck here until somebody comes by and rescues us.
Garfield: Stuck out here with nothing to eat?
Jon: In the meantime… Dough ball?
Garfield: Uh, no, thanks! I've seen what those things do to fish. (He sees Red and Junior with their picnic basket, still perfectly intact) Laugh (He walks over to get the loot from his fish friends)
Jon: Don't worry. Someone will be along soon. I'm sorry, all we have to eat are these Gulp! dough balls. (He pops one into his mouth. Behind him, Garfield and Odie enjoy their picnic lunch of sandwiches. They both wear napkins tied around their neck)
Garfield: (with a mouth full of food) Yeah. Real sorry. Uh, could you pass the mustard, Odie? (Odie takes a bite)
Odie: Mutters (He hands Garfield a jar of what seems to be mayonnaise. Garfield takes it)
Garfield: Chuckles (He winks at the audience and the episode ends)
THE END
