Transcript
Narrator: "Garfield was resting in a siding."

Garfield: "Sometimes,"

Narrator: "He thought."

Garfield: "It's very tiring to be such a large and splendid cat. One does have to keep up appearances so."

Homer: "Peep, peep, peep, peep! Hello, fat face!"

Narrator: "Whistled Homer."

Garfield: "What cheek!"

Narrator: "Spluttered Garfield."

Garfield: "That Homer is too big for his feet. Fancy speaking to me like that. Me, who has never had an accident."

Bart: "Aren't jammed whistles and pulled muscles accidents?"

Narrator: "Asked Bart innocently."

Garfield: "No, indeed. High spirits, might happen to any TV Character. But to come off the road like Homer did, well I ask you. Is that right? Is it decent?"

Narrator: "Then it was Homer's turned to take the express. Garfield watched him getting ready."

Garfield: "Be careful, Homer. You're not pulling the Flying Kipper now. Mind you keep on the road today."

Narrator: "Homer went off in a huff, and Garfield yawned and went to sleep. But not for long."

Garfield's Driver: "Wake up, Garfield."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Garfield's Driver: "A special load's coming and we're to take it."

Garfield: "Is it flowers or goombas?"

Garfield's Driver: "Goombas."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Garfield: "Goombas?"

Narrator: "Said Garfield."

Garfield: "Pah!"

Narrator: "Garfield's body was slow to start. So Edd had to helped Garfield to the turntable to get him facing the right way."

Garfield: "I won't go, I won't go!"

Narrator: "Grumbled Garfield."

Edd: "Don't be silly, don't be silly."

Narrator: "Puffed Edd.

At last, Garfield was on the turntable. The movement had shaken his body. It was now moving nicely.

Garfield was cross and didn't care what he did. He waited till the table was half way around."

Garfield: "I'll show them, I'll show them!"

Narrator: "He hissed.

He moved slowly forward to jam the table, but he couldn't stop himself and slid into a ditch."

Garfield: "Oosh!"

Narrator: "He hissed."

Garfield: "Get me out, get me out!"

Garfield's Driver and Fireman: "Not a hope."

Narrator: "Said his driver and fireman."

Garfield's Driver and Fireman: "You're stuck you silly great cat. Don't you understand that?"

Narrator: "They telephoned Mayor Adam West."

Mayor Adam West: "So Garfield didn't want to take the load and ran into a ditch?

What's that you say? The special's waiting? Tell Edd to take it, please. And Garfield? Oh, leave him where he is. We haven't time to bother with him now."

Narrator: "On the other side of the ditch, some little boys were chattering."

Boys: "Cool! Doesn't he look silly? They'll never get him out."

Narrator: "They began to sing."

Boys: "Silly old Garfield fell in a ditch, fell in a ditch, fell in a ditch! Silly old Garfield fell in a ditch, all on a Monday morning!"

Narrator: "Garfield laid in the ditch all day."

Garfield: "Oh dear!"

Narrator: "He thought."

Garfield: "I shall never get out."

Narrator: "But that evening, they lifted Garfield, and made a roll of sleepers under his feet to keep him from the mud. Strong ropes were fastened to his back end, and Schemer and Homer, pulling hard, managed to bring him to safety.

Late that night, Garfield crawled home, a sadder and wiser cat."
