02x26 - Unfair Weather

[bunniefuu]

[snoring] [clock ringing]

[upbeat music]

[cheerful music]

[Odie moans]

[sigh] It's hot.

Boy, is it hot.

It is so hot.

Hot it is so.

For those of you who watch this show in Spanish,

hace calor.

[sigh] It's so hot.

It's extremely...

[panting]

...hot.

[Odie mutters]

Odie, we have to do something.

We have to get off this floor and come up with some idea

how to cool off. Right?

[Odie mutters]

Okay.

We get up on the count of three.

One... two... three.

[struggling]

It's hot.

Boy, is it hot.

It is so hot.

Hot it is so.

[TV] We're looking at another week of record temps with no relief in sight.

It's really, really hot.

[audience] How hot is it?

It's so hot people are now going on Internet auction sites

and bidding on shade.

[recorded laugher]

It's so hot, the Statue of Liberty is wearing a bikini.

[recorded laugher]

It's so hot, chickens are laying poached eggs.

[laugher]

[Garfield] Who says the news doesn't take things seriously these days?

[Odie panting]

We've only been able to find one man

who is pleased about the record-breaking temperatures.

It's Mr. Anthony Allwork, attorney and businessman.

Mr. Allwork, everyone is suffering so.

Why are you so happy about this weather?

You'd be happy too if you owned companies that make air conditioners,

ice cream and sunblock.

-Want a snow-cone? -Sure.

-Fifty bucks. -Oh!

Some people will make money off anything.

But Garfield and Odie had a good idea, taking those patio chairs out back.

But I didn't hear the back door open...

[suction sound]

[gasp]

[clearing throat]

[Odie mutters]

Pull up a chair.

I just drank all the lemonade but you could suck on an ice cube.

[angry] Garfield!

[slow motion sounds]

When it's this hot,

this is about as fast as any of us can run.

[slow motion sounds]

[doorbell]

[doorbell]

[slow motion falling sounds]

[doorbell]

I wonder who that is.

Can't be the pizza delivery guy.

He melted this morning.

[giggling]

Drusilla! Minerva!

No, I'm Minerva, she's Drusilla.

[together] Hello, Uncle Jon!

[panicked scream]

[dramatic music]

What are you doing here? I...

Oh, no. Today was the day...

Today was the day you promised to take us camping in the woods.

You did promise, Uncle Jon.

[together] Yes! You promised!

But today? In this heat?

Out in the woods?

You can't be serious.

All right, you're serious.

We'll go camping in the woods...

In this heat.

[cheering]

Will the kitty cat come along?

You promised us the kitty would come along!

[together] We want the kitty cat! We want the kitty cat!

I'm sure there's nothing Garfield would like more

than to go camping in this heat with the two of you.

-[crash] -[Garfield] No! I'll give up lasagna!

I'll move in with Nermal! Anything!

But don't make me go camping with Drusilla and Minerva!

[screams]

[together] Kitty cat!

♪ We want to play with the kitty We want to play with the kitty ♪

-No! Not Drusilla and Minerva! No! -[Odie whines]

[muffled] Quick! Send me to Abu Dhabi!

Fourth class if you have to! I don't care!

Oh, wait... You need a stamp on me.

[slurp]

[muffled] Just hurry,

or I'll have to go camping with Drusilla and Minerva.

Thanks, I'll take that.

It's too hot to try and figure this out.

We're taking the twins camping and that's that!

[twins] Kitty cat!

Let's dress him up for camping!

He's gonna look so rugged!

Please, have pity on a poor kitty cat!

I don't do camping!

Help!

[Drusilla] He'll protect us from wild animals!

Yay! Camping with Garfield!

[Odie moans]

[lively music]

[he screams]

[dramatic music]

[screams]

[screams]

[twins] We wanna be there! We wanna be there! We wanna be there!

[they repeat "We wanna be there"]

I wanna be home! I wanna be home! I wanna be home!

[Garfield repeats "I wanna be home"]

[soft music]

Finally, the tents are up.

Now, I know what I want to do...

-We wanna go for a hike! -Let's roast marshmallows!

Let's play hopscotch!

[together] We wanna have a dance party!

But it's a hundred and ten degrees in the shade.

Shade? Where?

I don't see any shade.

I just want to dive in the lake and cool off!

Yahoo!

[crash]

[Odie mutters]

Wow...

The sun is so hot,

most of the water in the lake evaporated.

[Odie mutters]

The lovely flowers are drying out in the hot sun.

Do something, Uncle Jon.

What do these kids want?

Do they think Jon can make it rain or something?

[thunder]

[Jon screams]

♪ It's raining, it's pouring ♪

♪ The old man is snoring ♪

Odie...

All these years, I think we’ve been underestimating Jon.

[Odie mutters]

[laughing] The heat wave is over!

This will cool everyone off!

-[upbeat music] -Hold it, my cellphone is ringing.

Jon's ringtone sounds very familiar.

Odie, do you recognize that tune?

[Odie mutters]

[twins] Kitty cat!

We want to play with the kitty!

[Jon] Hello? Oh, hello, Aunt Ivy.

No, I'm happy to talk to you.

I'm happy because it's raining.

Raining? Where are you?

In the forest, about five miles from you.

Aren't you enjoying this rain?

Rain?

I always knew you were out of your mind...

[yells] But you're out of your mind!

It's a hundred and twelve degrees and there isn't a cloud in the sky!

No, it's raining.

And we're out there and...

No, wait. It isn't raining.

[sigh] Of course it isn't raining.

[laughing]

It's snowing!

[laughing loudly]

It's snowing, just like at Christmas.

It's almost a blizzard!

The twins are making a snow Garfield!

And the real Garfield just threw a snowball at me.

Don't you see it's snowing, Aunt Ivy? Don't you see?

[Jon] Aunt Ivy? Are you there, Aunt Ivy?

[hangs up]

[sigh] I've got to get out of this family...

[Odie barks happily]

Odie, don't you think something a little odd is happening?

[panting]

My mistake.

I asked Odie to think.

-[wind rises] -Hey, it's getting windy!

-[Jon shaking] -Uncle Jon!

There's wind!

Can we fly a kite?

Ah... Maybe we'd better get some shelter somewhere!

And now it's hailing! Come on!

[dramatic music]

[together] Uncle Jon! We're scared!

Don't worry, girls. I'm in charge.

Now, I'm scared.

Rain, snow, hail...

What's next?

Sandwiches?

Cheese sandwiches!

[intriguing music]

We'd better get out of here.

Let's stick around.

Maybe it'll start raining potato salad.

Uncle Jon! That cloud!

All that weird weather came from it!

And it's moving away into the forest!

[together] Where's it going?

Want to go find out, guys?

[affirmative bark]

Sure.

Maybe later on, it will rain dinner.

[intriguing music]

[Odie barks]

The little cloud!

The storm...

It went into that house.

We'll stay here.

We're scared.

[intriguing music]

[dramatic music]

Oh, hello.

I didn't see you there.

It's okay, come on in.

You're not disturbing anything.

I was just sitting here, controlling the weather.

Controlling the weather?

[interrogative moan]

I don't know what it's all about either, Odie.

I hope this is a two-part episode so we can find out.

[upbeat music]

[snoring] [clock ringing]

[upbeat music]

[intriguing music]

Oh, good, it's a two-part episode.

I'm sorry, did you say you were controlling the weather,

Mister...?

Pressure.

Hiram Pressure.

Most folks just call me Hi.

Hello.

And yes, controlling the weather.

That's what I do.

Or at least, I used to.

[interrogative moans]

I don't blame you for being confused.

Most people don't know about my work here.

They think weather just happens.

I thought it was due to differences of temperature and moisture in one place

and the temperature and moisture in another.

[Odie mutters]

It's the educational part of the show.

That's true.

They interact and that creates storms or heat waves or snow.

But someone has to schedule it and direct it all.

That's my job.

Before I did it, my father did it.

And before he did it, his father did it, and so on.

We plan the rain and the snow and the sleet...

and the occasional tornado.

[Jon] What's that, Garfield?

Ah...

My cat wants to know why you made it rain cheese sandwiches.

I did?

Oh...

My lunch must have fallen into the machine again.

[laughing]

Once, I spilled a head of cabbage and a jar of mayonnaise in there.

For the next three weeks, it rained coleslaw in Portugal.

Well, can you do anything about the heat wave we've been having?

Plants are dying, lakes are drying up!

I know, I know...

I didn't cause it.

You see, my operation here got taken over by a big corporation.

They duplicated and upgraded my equipment,

but I guess they don't know how to use it.

I've been trying to stop the heat wave...

And that's what you have to stop doing.

Mr. Allwork!

He runs the company that took over for me.

My technicians say you've been trying to cool things down.

Stop doing that.

But I thought...

maybe they'd made a mistake...

No mistake.

I want it that way.

Beasley! Tell them to go ahead.

Right away, Mr. Allwork.

The boss says go.

I acquired your operation, Pressure,

but I also bought this building.

I know.

[device stops]

I'm having it torn down so you can't meddle with my plans again.

[dramatic music]

Uh, boss...

Shouldn't we not be in here?

Good idea, Beasley.

[suspenseful music]

-[Odie barking] -[work machines beeping]

[crash]

You didn't have to do that, you know.

Yes, I did.

Only one of us can control the weather, and it's going to be me.

[Jon groans]

There are people suffering from this hot weather.

And people buying my air conditioners,

my sun-block and all the other things I sell.

The hotter it gets, the more I make.

Snow cone?

For you, half-price.

Twenty-five dollars.

No?

[Garfield chuckles]

[Garfield giggles]

[Odie groans]

Well-snarl, puppy.

That is not a nice man.

[Jon grunts]

See you later.

I have to get back to my office and raise prices on everything.

This is all my fault.

I never should have let him take over.

Hi, Uncle Jon.

Where's Garfield?

Yeah, where's the kitty cat?

I saw your cat and dog get into Mr. Allwork's car just before it left.

Well, he may be able to control the weather,

but he's not going to be able to control Garfield.

[lively music]

[ominous music]

The big luncheon is at :, sir.

Good.

I have enough time to buy three more companies

and fire everyone.

[intriguing music]

Nice of that driver to leave his lunch in the trunk.

[bell]

[ominous music]

[phone ringing]

Worldwide Weather Works.

Please hold.

[bell]

[suspenseful music]

[Garfield screams]

Wow!

[Odie mutters]

How should I know which button to push?

I can't work anything more complicated than the TV remote.

But this is the machine that controls the weather,

making it so unbelievably hot

so they can sell more air conditioners and things.

[Odie mutters]

What's happening next?

Oh, probably some security guard spots us and yells:

"Hey, you! You're not supposed to be in here!"

Hey, you! You're not supposed to be in here!

Hey, can I call 'em or what?

Chase scene!

[upbeat music]

[Odie howls]

Everything is ready for the luncheon.

And you've just acquired six companies that make heaters

and nine that make winter coats. [laughing]

Good, after we milk this heat wave for all it's worth,

we'll start a cold spell that will really clean up.

-[alarm] -What's that alarm?

I'll go see, Mr. Allwork.

[upbeat music]

[Garfield mutters]

[crash]

[crash]

[electric sounds]

[device starts]

There's something new.

Indoor rain!

For people who don't get out much.

[guard] This is all your fault, you two!

[upbeat music]

What happened?

I crashed into the weather controls!

All because of a cat and dog running around!

We have to catch them!

[phone ringing]

[unintelligible chatter]

Oh! The technicians say they don't know how to stop this.

Well, a little rain won't hurt us.

We'll catch the intruders and then worry about it.

[lively music]

[Odie mutters]

We can't give up, Odie!

The future of the planet may be at stake.

Nothing can stop us.

Oh, look. Lunch.

[Odie mutters]

You're right, Odie. I'll eat later.

But this food gives me another idea.

Grab as much as you can carry and follow me!

[Odie mutters]

[upbeat music]

A good meal starts with soup...

Why haven't my guards caught those intruders yet?

Mr. Allwork, do you smell clam chowder?

It's raining clam chowder!

What kind ? The red or the white?

Now it's raining banana cream pies!

And me on a , calorie a day diet, ha!

Onion rings, diced carrots, a selection of cold cuts...

[Odie mutters]

[dramatic music]

I see 'em, Odie.

Quick, pass the canned ham.

Okay, cat and dog, you're coming with us.

[crash]

The technicians say in order to stop this,

you may have to bring back that man

you stole the weather controlling business from.

That Pressure guy?

Okay, call him.

I have the feeling my business here is out of business.

Mmm...

Raspberry frosting.

He gave me the whole operation back, Mr. Arbuckle.

I should have the heat wave ended within a day or so...

So you'll be controlling the weather again?

[Pressure] I don't know. I've been thinking.

Maybe I oughta try letting nature take its course.

Controlling the weather is a lot of responsibility.

-Hey! Hey! -Oh, right...

Well, before you give it up,

my cat has one thing he'd like you to do, kind of as his reward.

Sure.

Anything for Garfield.

Wait 'til you see this, Odie.

[twins] We wanna play with the kitty! We wanna play with the kitty!

Not right now, girls.

We've arranged something special for Garfield.

Did Vito make the delivery?

[Pressure] He just got here, Mr. Arbuckle.

And I've already programmed

the storm to hit just your house.

[soft music]

[laughing]

[joyful music]

[Odie mutters]

[Garfield laughs happily]

[twins] It's raining lasagna!

What kind of weather are you dreaming of?

A white Christmas?

[upbeat music]
