Garfield on the Town (1983 TV Short)

Thom Huge: Jon Arbuckle, Chef

Quotes 

• Jon Arbuckle : I was afraid he might have been hit by a car.

  Dr. Liz Wilson : In that case, you don't need a vet; you need a tow truck.

• Jon Arbuckle : I'd like to place an ad, please. Lost: beautiful orange-striped tabby cat of the big-boned persuasion. Answers to the name Garfield. When found, he'll probably be hungry. His favorite dish is lasagne, but he'll take pretty much any pasta dish; maybe a nice cavatini, heavy on the meat sauce. Please call Jon Arbuckle anytime at 555-7272. A generous reward is offered. So how much will that cost.

  [eyes bug out] 

  Jon Arbuckle : Oh, I see. In that case, let it read, Lost: fat orange tabby cat. Reward.

• [Garfield and Odie have demolished Jon's house as they chase each other through it] 

  Jon Arbuckle : Boys, boys, boys. Just look at this room. What am I going to do with you two? Giving you away at the supermarket comes to mind.

  [Garfield and Odie both look increasingly traumatized by everything that Jon says:] 

  Jon Arbuckle : A one-way ticket to the city pound seems like a good idea. Right now, even taxidermy sounds terrific. I work and slave for you, and do I get any thanks for it? No, I don't! What do I get? A demolition derby in my living room!

  [Garfield and Odie nod toward each other] 

  Jon Arbuckle : That's it, Garfield. This is not normal for you. You're hyperactive, and that's serious. I think it's time for a trip... to the vet!

  Garfield : [traumatized]  No, no! Not the vet!

• Jon Arbuckle : Hungry, Garfield?

  Garfield : You guessed it, buster.

• [Garfield enters the kitchen as Jon is fixing himself breakfast] 

  Jon Arbuckle : Hungry, Garfield?

  Garfield : You've guessed it, buster.

  Jon Arbuckle : Okey-dokey.

  [Pours Garfield a bowl of cat food] 

  Jon Arbuckle : Here you go.

  [Jon looks to find Garfield has eaten his breakfast] 

  Garfield : *Hiccup* No thanks, I couldn't possibly eat another bite.
