Transcript
Narrator: "Homer and Garfield were lonely when RS Mr. Conductor left the yard to run his route. They missed him very much. They had more work to do and had to fetch their own flowers. They didn't like that.

Schemer grumbled too."

Homer, Garfield and Schemer: "We get no rest, we get no rest!"

Narrator: "They all complained, but the flowers only laughed."

Flowers: "You're lazy and slack, you're lazy and slack."

Narrator: "They answered.

All together, the TV Characters were causing Mayor Adam West a great deal of trouble.

The big stations at both ends of the route each have a turntable. Mayor West had made them so that the big TV Characters can be turned around, because it is dangerous for them to go fast backwards.

Little TV Characters, like RS Mr. Conductor, don't need turntables. They can go just as well backwards as forwards. But to hear Garfield talk, you would have thought that Mayor West had made him big just to show how important he was."

Garfield: "You don't understand, little RS Mr. Conductor. We big TV Characters have a position to keep up. It doesn't matter where you go, but we are important. And for Mayor West to make us arrange goombas, and fetch flowers and go on some of those dirty sidings. It's... it's... well, it's not the proper thing."

Narrator: "RS Mr. Conductor chuckled, and went off with Patty and Selma."

Garfield: "Disgraceful!"

Narrator: "Garfield hissed, as he went backwards to the turntable.

The turntable was in a windy place close to the sea. And if he was not on it just right, he put it out of balance and made it difficult to turn. Today, Garfield was in a bad temper, and the wind was blowing fiercely. His driver tried to make him stop in the right place, but Garfield wasn't trying. The fireman tried to turn the handle, but Garfield's weight and the strong winds prevented him."

Garfield's Driver and Fireman: "It's no good."

Narrator: "They said at last."

Garfield's Driver and Fireman: "You upset the balance. If you were a nice little TV Character, you'd be alright. Now, you'll have to take the next line of flowers backwards."

Boys: "Look!"

Narrator: "Called some boys."

Boys: "There's a new little TV Character. Oh, it's only Garfield back to front."

RS Mr. Conductor: "Hello."

Narrator: "Called RS Mr. Conductor."

RS Mr. Conductor: "Playing little TV Characters? Sensible cat. Take my advice, lose some weight and have a nice conductor outfit."

Narrator: "Garfield said nothing.

Even Schemer laughed when he saw him."

Garfield: "Take care."

Narrator: "Hissed Garfield."

Garfield: "You might stick too."

Schemer: "No fear."

Narrator: "Chuckled Schemer."

Schemer: "I'm not so fat as you.

I mustn't stick."

Narrator: "Thought Schemer. He stopped on just the right place to balance to the table. It could now swing easily.

Garfield arrived in time to see everything.

Schemer turned much too easily. The wind puffed him round like a top. He couldn't stop."

Garfield: "Well, well."

Narrator: "Said Garfield."

Garfield: "Are you playing roundabouts?"

Narrator: "Poor Schemer, feeling quite giddy, rolled off into the house without a word.

That night, the three TV Characters had an indignation meeting."

Garfield: "It's shameful to treat big TV Characters like this! Garfield has to go backwards and people think he's a little TV Character, Schemer spins round like a top and everyone laughs at us. And to add to that, Mayor West makes us all arrange in dirty sidings. Ugh!

Listen,"

Narrator: "Said Garfield. He whispered something to the others."

Garfield: "We'll do it tomorrow. Mayor West will look silly!"

Narrator: "The TV Characters had decided to go on strike."
