02x08 - Planet of Poultry/Honey, I Shrunk the Pets

Post by bunniefuu »

[snoring] [clock ringing]

[upbeat music]

[snoring]

Oh, it's you.

Yeah, I'm taking a nap, I deserve it.

After all, I just saved the entire planet.

That's right.

The whole planet and everyone on it, you included.

You see, it all started far out in space.

I mean far out.

They have this popular chain of fast food restaurants.

They're all over the galaxy.

You'll find one on practically every asteroid.

[robot voice] Welcome to Neptunian Nuclear Chicken.

May I take your order, please?

I will have the Jupiter-sized module of chicken wings.

Extra crunchy.

Jupiter Space Pack. Extra crunchy.

Oh, and a side of coleslaw.

One side of coleslaw.

Thank you.

Now, you might be wondering how I know about this, right?

Well, I've seen this cartoon before.

Anyway, this chain of restaurants is owned by this not-very-nice guy.

What do you mean,

I can't open another bajillion restaurants?

No one tells me what I can't do!

But, Commander Harlin, we have not enough chickens.

Maybe not.

But we will.

-Come with me. -Where are we going?

Anticipating this need,

I set up a secret research outpost...

on Earth!

In no time at all, they were streaking towards Earth,

where certain individuals you may recognize

were stopping for chow.

We're just going in for a small snack.

Do you know what a small snack is, Garfield?

Do you know what a foolish question is, Jon?

Even if you took every chicken on this planet,

it wouldn't be enough

for your needs, Commander.

That is why we've developed a ray

that will turn to every man, woman

and animal on this planet

into... [evil sniggering]

...a chicken!

Bring in the test subject,

and we'll see how it works.

[humming]

Pepperoni and mushrooms!

[italian music]

Sausage and black olives.

Meat lovers' special.

Aye, aye, aye, leave some room, Garfield.

I'm making lasagna.

I don't see your delivery boy today.

I just sent him to make a delivery across the street.

He'll be right back.

No, he wouldn't be.

The delivery boy was about to become...

the delivery chicken.

But I just came to deliver a pizza.

Just stand there for one more moment.

[screaming]

This ray... [chewing]

This will really transform him into...

Yes! [evil sniggering]

A chicken!

[clucking]

You owe me... [clucking]

Get back to Vito's.

[clucking]

Twelve... [clucking]

...dollars for the... [clucking]

...pizza plus... [clucking]

It worked!

Can we fry him now?

Not yet.

First I have to bombard

the entire city.

[ominous music]

[clucking]

[ominous music]

Everyone is getting zapped by the rays!

It will work faster on some than others.

But soon,

they will all be chickens!

[evil sniggering]

Everyone?

Every Earth creature.

Except anyone who is at this moment

ingesting an inhuman quantity of ricotta cheese,

tomato paste and pasta.

[joyful music]

Who would imagine that an inhuman quantity

of ricotta cheese, tomato sauce

and pasta could taste so good?

Mmm... That was great.

Odie, something wrong?

[laughing]

Odie, that's the worst chicken imitation I've ever seen.

[clucking]

And that was the best one.

What do I do?

Oh, I know, I'll ask Jon.

We should be... [clucking] ...going. We have to...

...stop... [clucking]

...on the way home... [clucking]

Tell me Jon and Odie

haven't been turned into chicken.

[screaming]

[clucking]

Italian chicken! Chicken parmesan!

I have to get out of this coop!

Er, restaurant!

[screaming]

Help!

I need help.

Lots of help!

A policeman. They help.

Officer!

I wuold like to report two people and a dog

being mysteriously transformed into chickens.

[clucking]

[Garfield screaming]

Crazy things are happening!

As the chickening of the population spread across the state,

the governor called a press conference.

[clucking]

This is awful! This is a disaster!

Things could not be worse!

[ominous music]

Let this be a lesson to you.

Never say: "Things could not get worse."

Things will always find a way of getting worse.

[rooster crowing]

It landed in a park.

It was met by the rotten Commander Harlin.

It will take many trips.

But we'll transport all the chickens back home!

[evil sniggering]

I can hardly wait to start frying them all up.

Frying them all up?

How are you going to get them all into our spacecraft?

Simple. Chickens love corn.

[clucking]

[pneumatic drill noise]

I need to find some way to get inside.

And then he...

I joined the procession of poultry. I would've made it too,

except I suddenly remembered something awful.

[sneezing]

I'm allergic to chicken feathers!

[sneezing]

Aren't you going to say gesundheit?

Stop that cat!

[screaming]

Wow!

[upbeat music]

He should have been turned into a chicken by now!

Turn me into a chicken, turn everyone into a chicken.

You notice this guy only has one idea?

[panting]

See the two with the real dumb expressions?

I think those are Jon and Odie.

You might as well give up!

[upbeat music]

[bowling strike sound]

[upbeat music]

I'm trapped.

Farewell, cathood!

I hope I'm this good looking when I'm a chicken.

I don't know how you escape my transformation ray, cat.

Do you, by any chance, eat huge quantities

of lasagna?

Well, that explains it.

But you'll never eat it again.

You hear me?

From now on, until you're served in a bucket,

it's chicken feed for you!

[screaming]

No, no!

Not me!

I'm not...

[screaming]

[laughing]

Oh, no! All out of chicken. Oh, but wait...

Now's my chance to try out these Earth chickens.

Now the question is how do I change everyone in town

back to everyone in town?

Oh, you look positively scrumptious.

[screaming]

Hey, this may work out.

Don't worry,

you're going to be delicious.

Now, where's that spatula?

Would you like me to prevent you

from winding up next to a little cup of coleslaw?

[clucking] Please!

I think we can make a deal.

And a deal we made.

And I'll say this for the guy.

He was a chicken of his word.

He told me how to change him back,

and then he changed everyone else back, including you.

He blanked out all your memories,

so you have no idea that you were ever a chicken.

Then, as he agreed,

he and his aide left the Earth after promising never to return

for take-out.

And that's how I saved the entire planet.

And now everything is back to normal.

I'll start make dinner, Garfield.

We're having....

Not fried chicken!

...lasagna.

Fine!

[barking]

Like I said, everything's back to normal.

Except, of course, Jon does lay an egg, once in a while.

Which I don't understand at all because...

boy chickens don't lay eggs.

[upbeat music]

[snoring] [clock ringing]

[upbeat music]

[Garfield] Wake up: did it. Claw the drapes: did it.

Eat breakfast: did it three times.

Kick puppy off the table: did it four times.

Let's see what's next.

Nap!

That's perfect.

Jon should be... [yawning] ...bringing me my lunch soon.

That just lets me a little bit of...

sleepy time.

[snoring]

Here's your lunch, Garfield.

He'll find it when he wakes up.

[evil laughter]

Oh, what a great dream.

And with marinara sauce, no less.

Where's Jon with that lunch?

[screaming]

Finally, Jon has learned the right size to make a sandwich!

This is going to take more than one bite.

Hey, bird!

Find your own incredibly large sandwich.

[chewing]

Oh! A giant pigeon!

[scary music]

And another! And another!

Giant pigeons are attacking!

This is terrible!

Especially if you're a statue in the park!

Hey! That's my incredibly large sandwich!

Find your own incredibly large sandwich!

I just violated a basic rule of safety.

Never anger a pigeon larger than you are.

[chase music]

[Garfield screaming]

Giant pigeons! Pigeons that are way too big!

Help!

I need a place to hide!

-[Odie muttering] -Like I didn't have enough problems!

Now, I've got an incredibly large Odie.

Ah!

[screaming]

Quick, Odie! Hide me!

[reverb] Thanks, Odie.

By the way, you could really use a mint.

[Squeak] Cheddar goes over here, camembert over there.

I'll put the Swiss in this box full of holes.

[Odie muttering]

Hi, Odie!

I was just doing a little cheese-sorting.

You have something in your mouth?

Wait. Let me guess.

A doggie toy?

One of Jon's slippers?

Okay, I give up.

What is it?

Garfield.

That would have been my next guess.

Squeak! You've grown, too.

You're my size.

No, you're my size.

Oh, yeah, I guess so.

What happened to me?

It must be all those diets Jon keeps putting me on.

They all kicked in at once.

[laughing]

I don't think that's it.

[Odie barking]

[Odie muttering]

What is it, boy?

Across the street, from that house.

You think that blue light has anything to do with your downsizing?

Sure looks that way! Come on!

I've got to find out what that light is and how to undo it.

-Garfield! Wait! -[Odie barking]

Getting across streets isn't so easy when you're our size.

Hey, I know how to cross a street.

[suspenseful music]

Hey! Watch out! Watch out!

I'm walking here!

Where's a crossing guard when you need one?

[screaming]

We've got to save him!

Hiyo, Odie!

[scary music]

[all screaming]

Okay now,

I have to get into that house

and find out what that weird blue light was.

Easier said than done.

[Garfield] Okay, how am I going to get in there?

[Vito's truck horn]

It's Vito, making a delivery here!

Ah, my greatest creation!

Vito's lasagna!

Michelangelo, eat your heart out.

[phone ringing]

Vito here!

Ah, yes, Mrs. Bacciagalupe!

I will be delivering your large pepperoni in ten minutes.

I would gladly stay this small if all lasagna could be this big.

Don't you worry, Mrs. Bacciagalupe!

I just have to deliver one at the house I am in front of.

Ciao!

[chewing]

From now on, when Jon orders a large,

I'm expecting this.

[Odie muttering]

He's delivering the order with Garfield in it.

So is your son still making with the inventions?

Yes, he is.

Thank you very much, Vito.

Prego.

Oh, Nathan, dear!

Lunch has arrived!

In a minute, mother!

After lunch, Maxwell,

I'm going to try using my size-altering ray

to make something bigger.

Oh, this looks so good.

I got lasagna with meat sauce and ricotta cheese,

and spinach, and a pussycat and Parmesan...

[gasping] Oh, my goodness!

[phone keys beeping]

Hello, Vito?

Vito, I did not order a pussycat in my lasagna.

That's right, I said pussycat!

[dramatic music]

I've got to find whatever made that blue light.

[stomping] [screaming]

What do you mean there's no extra charge for the pussycat?

[dramatic music]

It came from upstairs.

The light came from this side of the house.

[dramatic music]

Do you hear four sets of footsteps?

[screaming]

It's not fair!

He has four times as many legs as I do!

[screaming]

[screeching]

You know,

I'd like to apologize for any spiders

I may have swatted over the years.

This is it.

I am so doomed!

Don't hurt him, Maxwell.

He's the cat from across the street.

I tested my size-altering ray on him and it worked.

Now, I want to see if it'll make something larger.

But what should I test it on?

Me, me, me!

Volunteer! Yoo hoo! Here!

[mewing]

I know, I'll see if I can enlarge my lunch.

Then I'll have a huge lasagna.

A huge lasagna.

What a great idea.

Wait a minute.

I need to focus on getting myself back to my old size.

I'll adjust the dial from "shrink" to "enlarge".

[suspenseful music]

Maxwell, where did the kitty cat go?

Never mind.

He can't get away.

Okay, here we go.

Wow! That's a giant-sized lasagna.

And a normal-sized me!

You think you're clever, cat?

Well, I'll just shrink you again!

Hey, no!

I'd better get out of here.

Couldn't resist.

Now my machine's so small!

It'll take months to generate enough enlarging power

to put me back to my normal size.

Oh, Nathan.

Now you've gone and shrunk yourself.

Well, I guess it's better than that time you turned the house

into an interplanetary space cruiser.

Here's your dinner, guys.

Hope you like it.

Nice to have you back to your old size, Garf.

-[Odie barking] -Yeah.

Thanks for your help, Squeak.

Something on your mind, Garfield?

Hey, a guy can dream, can't he?

[upbeat music]
