Act two
We go to a little prison in Africa. A door opens and Gar gets thrown into a wall, then pushed down a corridor. He is stopped by Menos just before walking over a grate carpeted with various people's feet sticking out. Menos walks over, lashing his whip over them all. We get to another area, where Gizmo is writing something on his scrolls. He looks up and smiles cheerfully at Gar.
"Ahhh hello, hello, welcome, welcome, to THE DUNGEON!", he grins, waving his hands happily
Gar watches, slightly bemused, as Gizmo jaunts up to him, still smiling as if he is in the happiest place on Earth.
"Hellooooo, I'm Gizmo, the dungeon keeper!", he smiles happily, "Allow me to show you to your cell".
He prances off towards a big heavy door, which is opened by men with cloths on their heads. Gizmo passes through with no problem, but Gar bangs his head on the top of the doorway)
"Duck", says Gizmo, then looks at a slightly concussed Gar, "I always forget about that".
"Look, Jean-Luc, stars", says Gar, blinking dozily.
Gizmo looks at Gar 's attire and shakes his head
"I'm sorry, but we can't seat you without the proper attire", he says, gesturing to the rest of the inmates, "See?"
We pan the dungeon, where all the prisoners have big, long beards..including the women.
"I got facial fur, does that count?" asks Gar hopefully.
Gizmo regards him for a moment.
"No".
He clicks his fingers and Menos hangs a false beard from Gar's ears.
"Ahhh, that's much better!", he says, "Now I leave you in the capable hands of Plasmus, he's our head guard".
Plasmus walks up and growls at Gar
"We gave him some more toxic sludge ...it may have affected his brain", whispers Gizmo, then adds out loud, "And if there's anything you require, please don't hesitate to scream!".
A loud scream echoes through the complex
"Coming!", says Gizmo cheerfully, "We're so busy!".
He happily walks off, leaving Gar looking rather worriedly at a drooling Plasmus
"Follow me", growls Plasmus, lathering Gar in goo.
They walk off, Gar wiping the ooze from his eye
"Please sit", says Plasmus, pointing at a bench
Gar does as he is told and sits down next to Krall
"Garfield of Logan, where is your King?", growls Plasmus
"King, King?", asked Gar, blinking innocently, "And which King might that be? King Richard, King Louis, King Kong, Larry King?".
"Impertinent English...", Plasmus pauses, "err American Cat! You shall talk!".
"I don't think so", smirks Gar smugly.
" Krall, please, the tongue looseners", says Plasmus with an evil grin.
Terra, Mas and Jinx cover their ears, eyes and mouth respectively. Krall hands Plasmus a pair of long pliers, which he uses to grab Gar's tongue.
"Speak you feline coward, speak!", shouts Plasmus, "oooh this is fun"
Gar morphs into a cat and says "Meow."
"No morphing!" shouts dumas4.
Plasmus starts to pull with the tongue loseners, stretching out Gar 's tongue
"Stretchy, stretchy!", laughs Plasmus as he poings it back and then says something in villain to Krall.
"What did he say?", asks Gar, now speaking with a bit of a lisp.
Krall looks at him in pity before starting to walk away.
"...You don't wanna know".
Krall drags Gar away, and sits him on a bench next to Flash, chaining his feet to a pole going around the bottom of the bench.
"You're very brave for a American idiot", comments Flash.
"Err...thank you?", tries Gar
"I have been in this place for a while, perhaps I can be of some service to you", he offers.
"Er, no thanks", grimaces Gar.
"Do you have any questions?" asks Flash.
Gar watches him carefully.
"What are you in for?".
Flash gives him a deadpan look before turning away
"Jaywalking".
"Oh", says Gar, "...I see".
Krall walks away and Gar examines his chains
"I could just morph out of this...".
"You're not allowed to!", snaps dumass4 from his directors chair.
"Oh, damn it!", snaps Gar, "It's not going to be easy getting out of here. What we need is a great feat of strength".
He takes off his fake beard and strokes his fur-covered chin in thought. Flash suddenly realizes something
"Feat of strength?. Au contraire!", he says, "Now that you are here with me, what we have is great strength of feet!".
He nods proudly, while Gar looks at him blankly
"Don't follow", he replies.
"There's a surprise", he mutters, "Do as I do. Now put both feet on the bar".
They do so
"Now on the count of kick", he says, "KICK!".
They both kick and the bar falls down. They cheer happily, then heard the sound of Krall coming back. They panic and pull the bar back up, Gar putting his fake beard back on
"What was that noise?", says Krall, narrowing his eyes.
"Err..noise?", asks Gar, looking around, "noise?".
"The..the noise you heard was the breaking of this poor man's heart", says Flash quickly.
"Yes thats it..", says Gar, holding a hand to his chest dramatically, "ohhhh".
"What?", asks Krall, blinking
"He's decided to save his poor life by betraying his king", says Flash, shaking his head, "Tut tut".
"Yes that's it", says Gar, "Ohh damn my eyes".
He pauses, looking at his script.
"What's WRONG with my eyes!", he protests, "I have NICE eyes. Raven loves my eyes!"
"It was in the original script", dumas4 shrugs, "Draconus thought it was funny and kept it in"
"So go, go tell your superior before he changes his mind", says Flash, getting things back on track...assuming they HAD a track in the first place.
"Yeah!", says Krall happily, "This is a wonderful thing!".
"Go", says Flash with a smile
"It would mean a big promotion for me!", muses Krall
"Go", says Flash, waving his hands encouragingly.
Krall starts to walk away, before stopping and turning back
"Good news is always rewarded", he says
"FOR THE LOVE OF NACHOS! GO!", snarls Flash, before clearing his throat, "I mean..Please, go".
Krall starts to go up the steps and heads out of the door. Gar and Flash go to move the bar again, but Krall re-appears around the door, making them both sit casually. Gar crossing his legs and whistling, Flash propping his elbow on his knee and putting his chin in his hand
"Oh the other hand...bad news is severly punished".
He takes a moment to think about this, before dismissing it and leaving
"Now is our chance", says Flash
They both free themselves from the bar, standing up, moving to free the other prisoners.
"Quick, follow me", says Flash, "You get that chain, I'll get this one."
"Righty oh", says Gar, then frowns, "...man English accents are HARD!"
They run to either side of the wall and pull on the chains, freeing all the prisoners, who shout happily. They all run for the one grated window in the room. they use their shackles to hook onto the grate and pull themselves up the wall, they help each other out until they are all on the large window ledge
"Alright, on the count of three", says Flash
"One, two, three!", say the prisoners in unison.
They all push at the window, which just swings open, it was unlocked, with that, they all walk out onto flat land, congratulating each other on their freedom, Menos slams the grate window behind him. Krall suddenly runs in
"I just told him the good news..and...and...", he frowns, looking at the empty dungeon, "I'm in deep camel plop."
We go to a little later on in the day, on the beach; we see Melvin, Larry and Red Star racing along the beach on camels. They race past where Gar and Flash are standing on a hill
"It is a very long journey from Africa to Jump City, my friend", he says
"No kiddin'", says Gar dryly, "Well, I owe you a great debt of gratitude, my friend".
They shake hands
"I am called Garfield of Logan", he introduces himself
"My name's Asneeze", says Flash, "father of Achoo".
"Bless you", smiles Gar
"No no no, Achoo is my son", says Flash, "He's in Jump City...your town. He's an exchange student. I'd like you to look after him".
He pulls out a picture, which Gar puts into his pocket after a brief glance
"He is in need of guidance. He is headstrong and cocksure", Flash pauses, "..or is it the other way around?
"Say no more", says Gar, puffing out his chest, " I vow on the sacred word of Logan, I give you my undying pledge, my solemn oath on my father's honor, on the blood of my heart, on the word of my soul, on the very center of my being that nothing shall...".
"Good", Flash interrupts him before they all become comatose, "You must go now, or you will miss the tide".
Gar looks out to sea and nods
"Yes, yes… well. Farewell, my friend, and not to worry, I'll find Achoo".
With that, Gar shakes Flash's hand again and walks off, Flash waving him off
"Goodbye my friend. Farewell. Safe journey", he says.
As he waves him off Gar dives into the sea and starts to swim off. We see a little map, which shows him as a line of paw prints swimming from Africa all the way around to Jump City. He washes up on the shores of Jump City, a big Hollywood style sign saying 'Jump City' on the cliff.
"Home, home, Jump City!", sighs Gar, soaking wet and covered with seaweed.
Gar drops to his knees and kisses the sand, before realizing his mistake and spitting out a mouthful of the stuff
"A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse", he wheezes, stumbling off.
"And cut, good work people", grins dumas4
"I think I swallowed a jellyfish", weezes Gar
"You'll be fine", says dumas4, waving a hand
"I'm finding it hard to breathe", says Gar, falling on the floor.
"There you go", says dumas4, patting the unconscious changeling on the head, "all you need is a good lie down."
