- Ah! Whoo! What a nightmare!
I dreamed I had 300
Cheeseburgers and no ketchup.
What could be worse?
Oh, right.
And no ketchup.
I hope jon has breakfast ready.
Gee, the place looks different.
He's been rearranging
furniture again.
[ Alarm ]
- The fazer alert is code alpha!
- Jon's stressing even worse
Than usual.
- Attention, zorborg!
This is star wolf at database!
Do you read me?
Come in, zorborg!
- Read you, star wolf.
The motorobs are
Attacking zantu.
Deploy all forces
For maximum as*ault!
- What's going on here?
That's not jon.
Could it be...
- Star wolf
To rainbow squadron!
Star wolf to rainbow squadron!
Motorob attack! Code two!
- Yes,
I'm in the wrong cartoon!
- What in the heck is this?
It's small, orange
And has enormous eyes!
- Excuse me. I seem to have
Made a wrong turn
And wound up on some other show.
My name's garfield.
- It must be a mutant gnome
From the galaxy of ra
Come to spy on us!
- No. Actually, I'm a cat.
- So, you want the energy jewel
Of wizzig, do you?
- No, but if you have
Like a bacon, lettuce and tomato
On rye toast...
- I'll immobilize him
With a polar lazer orbitron!
- Hey! Jeez, if you don't have
A blt, just say so.
- The mutant gnome flees!
After him! He'll not escape!
- Help! Someone!
I'm in the wrong cartoon!
Odie! Odie, where are you?
[ Dog growling ]
- Hey, you're not odie.
You're extremely not odie.
This is a misunderstanding.
See, I'm not supposed to be
In this cartoon!
- The mutant gnome
Is attempting to steal
The power pod!
- Hey, a candy machine.
Maybe I can get some sugar-free
Lasagna-flavored
super bubblegum.
- The mutant has decoded
The retro firing pattern!
He's stealing the power pod
For the motorobs!
- It's like jon on the freeway!
Only slower!
- Star wolf to zorborg!
A spy for the motorobs
Has made off with the power pod!
- That is dire news, star wolf.
The motorobs are attacking us
Already.
If the power pod links up
With their leader,
They will be unstoppable.
- One of these buttons
Must stop, or tune in cable tv
At least.
- The power pod is linking up
To complete the might
Of the motorobs.
We are doomed.
- Oh, at least he's got
A good head on his shoulders.
- Stop!
Aha!
Garfield says stand on one leg.
Garfield says cluck
Like a chicken.
[ Clucking ]
[ Dialing ]
Keep those phones ringing,
Folks!
Hey, they weren't bad!
I get it!
This is one of those
Giant robots that turns into
Other things.
Let's see what this does.
Help! Help!
Somebody get me out
Of this cartoon!
I don't belong here!
Oh, no!
Help!
- The master motorob
Is about to explode!
Get me back to my own cartoon
With jon and odie and nermal!
Even nermal.
The giant robots are gone
And the monsters.
I'm not in that awful
Cartoon anymore.
I'm...
Oh, no.
I'm in the wrong cartoon again.
Who are you?
- We're the cute creatures
Of the forest and we're going
To teach you how to be nice
To everyone and never,
Ever be mean.
- Giant robots!
I want the giant robots back!
- Hey, he's not so cute.
How's he get his own show?
- This is the story of little
Bo peep who lost her sheep.
Hey, wait a minute.
It would be more fun
If we dressed up
and acted it out.
- Great idea, orson!
- There. We'll be the sheep
And now all we need
Is a little bo peep.
- I don't like the sound
Of this.
- Come here, sheep.
Bo peep wants to brain you!
- Like she's not
A very nice lady, man.
Guess you can't believe
Everything you read.
- Oh, panic!
Oh, jeopardy!
Oh, double jeopardy!
Oh, final jeopardy!
- Okay, wade,
What is it this time?
- This has been a test of the
Emergency duckcasting system.
[ Chuckle ]
- I am trying to put my books
Back on the shelf.
I can never find one
When I need it.
- Hey, orson's putting
All his books away.
- Huh, that'll take a while.
- No way, no chance, no how.
You know orson.
He can't put a book away
Without reading it first.
He'll never get them put away.
- If orson says
He's putting them away,
he's putting them away.
- Like I said, no chance.
I'll bet you a month's chores
He can't do it.
- Ha ha! You're on!
Hear that, wade?
Roy's gonna do all our chores
For a month.
[ Laugh ]
- How sporting of the rooster.
- I just have to make sure
Orson doesn't get his books
Put away.
[ Chuckle ]
- The adventures
Of the scarlet pimpernel.
I love this book.
I can't put it away yet.
"Indeed you jest,
Said the beautiful countess
Fanning herself."
- The people will never allow
You to confiscate their land.
- The duke de doodle-do
Never jests, countess.
As for those peasants...
[ Speaking french ]
- You know what I mean?
- He said that you're a pig
Of a dog, of a snake,
Duke de doodle-do.
- Let them eat the cake!
- Not while the scarlet
Pimpernel lives!
Duke de doodle-do,
I have come to put a stop
To your evil deeds!
- Le scarlet pimpernel!
- Huzzah!
- The scarlet pimpernel,
I have been wanting to meet you.
Take that!
What is a pimpernel anyway?
- Do you challenge me
To a duel, duke?
The scarlet pimpernel
Is the flower of freedom.
The red rose which stands
For justice and the rights
Of the people, villain!
This is a token of my regard,
Countess.
En garde!
- Time to get this over with.
- Adieu, duke de doodle-do!
- Farewell, countess!
As for you, duke de doodle-do,
Repent of your tyranny
Or we will meet again!
[ Laugh ]
- I knew it!
Orson can't pick up a book
Without reading it.
That's why he never
Gets them put away.
But to make sure
That I win my bet,
I'll just slip a few
Of my library books
Into the stack.
- Oh, I'll have to finish
This later. Back to work.
Daily life in the stone age.
- Oh, he put some new books
On orson's pile.
- That rooster's a foul fowl!
He's stacking the odds
In his favor in order
To win the bet!
- Why don't I remember
This book?
Most of the average stone age
Person's day was spent
Searching for food.
Competition for survival
Was keen, so people
Banded together in tribes
To help each other.
- Anybody find food yet?
- Oh, nothing. Why can't we
Go to the supermarket?
- They haven't been
Invented yet.
- Oh, yeah. I forgot.
- Oh, I found some rocks!
- Oh, boy! Hungry! Cook dinner!
- Good idea! Me like barbecue.
Boy, this hard!
Someone got match?
- They haven't been
Invented yet.
- Oh, yeah.
- Uh, what if the fire
Attracts a fearsome prehistoric
Type monster, huh?
- Oh, what are chances
Of that happening?
- Oh, pretty good, I'd say.
[ Roaring ]
- Help! Help!
Wait a minute.
Dinosaurs didn't exist
At the same time as cave people.
- They didn't? Are you sure?
- It's right here in this book.
- Oh, my, fancy that.
- This is an interesting book.
I wonder where I got it?
- No wonder orson never
Gets his books put away.
We forgot what an active
Imagination he has got.
- Roy knew it!
That's why he made the bet
With me!
- Looks like you'll be doing
His chores for a month.
- Not me!
Two can play at this game.
- Well, I'll put
Another book away.
- Ahem, aren't you going
To take a look at the book
Before you put it away?
- If I keep doing that,
I'll never get all these
Put away.
- Oh, go ahead.
One peek can't hurt.
- How to be a librarian.
- What?
- A good librarian
Puts every book in its place
Right away. Yeah!
- I don't understand.
- Looks like we win, roy.
Here's the list of my chores
For you to do.
You can start sweeping up.
- Here's my list.
Lots of raking.
- Raking to do, roy?
Well, reading a book
Can make the time go faster.
- Hmph, let's see.
"The galley sl*ves continued
To row the ship onward."
- Row faster, all of you!
- Yo h*, heave h*.
- Thanks, orson!
- Whee! I love snow!
Snow is cute!
- Yeah, as long as
The neighbor kids don't spot us.
- Hey, cat! Give us the kitten
And we'll let you live!
- Ha ha!
Not a chance, you turkeys!
It's all for one
And one for all!
- Cousin egbert?
This is your cousin jon.
Say, I have to go out of town
On business and I was wondering
If you'd take care of my cat.
Hello? Hello?
Well, that's my last relative
To call.
I guess I'll have to put
Garfield and odie
In a pet hotel.
Garfield won't object
To that too much.
- No! No! No! Absolutely not!
No way!
Not a chance!
No! Uh-uh!
Negative! No chance!
- Gee, he took it better
Than I thought he would.
Garfield, be reasonable.
- Why should I start now?
- I can't leave you and odie
Alone for two weeks
And I can't take you with me.
- Need a place for your pet
To stay? Then come down
To howie's housebreak hotel
Where we pamper your poodles
And primp your pussycats.
At housebreak hotel,
Your pet will get spoiled rotten
Whether it's lounging
By our pool,
Being fed in our sumptuous
Gourmet dining room
Or snacking between meals
On all the lasagna he can eat.
- Gee, garfield,
Does that sound like a place
You'd like to stay?
- Come on, let's go! Move it!
What are you waiting for?
- You came to the right place,
Mr. Arbuckle.
Garfield and odie
Will be very happy here.
- I'm sure they will,
But this place looks
Kind of expensive.
[ Laugh ]
- Relax, mr. Arbuckle.
Housebreak hotel is the best
And your pets deserve
The very best.
- I like that guy.
He talks sense.
[ Barks ]
- I guess I'll get started
With the important stuff.
- There you go.
I'll pick them up in two weeks.
- Front!
Show our new guests
To their private suites.
- I'll have breakfast in bed
And all the other meals.
- See you in two weeks, guys.
- No, I'll have brunch
By the pool.
But have the pool drained first
And filled with ginger ale.
Oh, wait, that's silly,
Filling the pool
With ginger ale.
Make it cherry cola.
I wonder if this room
Has a view.
Gee, I was hoping for
The presidential suite.
Let me out of here!
This isn't a room!
This is a dump!
It isn't even sanitized
For my protection!
- Quiet, cat,
Or we'll stick you
In a worse room!
- There's a worse room
Than this? How?
Is it on fire?
Mealtime! I hope they serve
Pasta or maybe prime rib
Or chow mein or all the above.
- What is that?
- Trust me,
You don't wanna know.
[ Gulp ]
- Be careful.
Some of that's getting
Into your mouth!
Oh, I'm not gonna take this.
I'm gonna protest.
What's the worst
They can do to me?
- Serve seconds.
- I would like to register
A complaint about the cuisine.
Now I have a few numbers here
Of pizza places
That deliver fast.
- Eat your dinner, cat!
- I refuse to eat this!
You know, it's the first time
I ever said that.
- Won't eat, huh?
Okay, guys.
- No, stop!
Cruel and unusual nourishment!
Yuck! That's awful, horrible!
Maybe with a little catsup.
No tv, no fluffy pillow,
No microwave, no tv.
I said tv.
I gotta make a break for it.
- Hey, what's all that noise?
[ Coughing ]
- Sounds of illness.
I'm not a well feline.
Medic!
- Come on, cat.
Snap out of it!
- Bon appetit!
- Yuck.
- And away we go.
- That stuff is terrible.
Hold it, you! Come back here!
- Step right this way.
Everybody out.
I gotta get outta here myself.
Yes, I'm going to rescue
Odie too.
- Hey, find that cat! Get him!
At least nothing else
Can go wrong here.
Hey, stop! Back in your cages!
[ Moaning ]
- Shh! I'm getting you
Out of here, odie.
This place is a prison.
They keep us in little cages
And what do you think
Of that food?
- Yum-yum.
- You'd think with a tongue
Like that,
He'd have a little taste.
[ Telephone ringing ]
- Housebreak hotel?
What? You're coming
To pick your cat up?
Well, please hold.
Housebreak hotel? Your cat?
Well, he got away.
What do you mean,
You're gonna sue me?
Housebreak hotel? Your cat.
There he is!
The cat who ruined my business!
I'll get you for this!
- Please, cat, leave me alone.
Go away. I'm ruined!
What'll it take to go away
And leave me alone, huh?
- Excuse me.
I went to pick my cat and dog up
At the pet hotel
And I was told they were here.
- Room 1708.
- Room service.
- Garfield,
You can't stay here.
Do you realize
What a room like this costs?
Bill to howie's
Housebreak hotel?
Hey, this is great!
- You sure you don't have to
Go out of town again?
