[Garfield and SpongeBob come out of the field that is right by the parking lot. The castle itself is about 40 stories high.]

SpongeBob: But that's it. That's it right there. That's DuLoc. I told ya I'd find it.

Garfield: So, that must be Lord Koopa's castle.

SpongeBob: Uh-huh. That's the place.

Garfield: Do you think maybe he's compensating for something? [He laughs, but then groans as SpongeBob doesn't get the joke. He continues walking through the parking lot.]

SpongeBob: Hey, wait. Wait up, Garfield.

Man: Hurry, darling. We're late. Hurry.

Garfield: Hey, you! [The attendant, who is wearing a giant head that looks like Lord Koopa, screams and begins running through the rows of rope to get to the front gate to get away from Garfield.] Wait a second. Look, I'm not gonna eat you. I just-- I just-- [He sighs and then begins walking straight through the rows. The attendant runs into a wall and falls down. Garfield and SpongeBob look at him then continue on into DuLoc.]

[They look around but all is quiet. Elevator music plays over the speakers.]

Garfield: It's quiet. Too quiet. Where is everybody?

SpongeBob: Hey, look at this!

[SpongeBob runs over and pulls a lever that is attached to a box marked 'Information'. The music winds up and then the box doors open up. There are little wooden people inside and they begin to sing.]

SpongeBob: Wow. Let's do that again!

(SpongeBob prepares to run over and pull the lever again. He is stopped by Garfield grabbing his hand)

Garfield: No! No! No, no, no! No.

(They hear a trumpet fanfare, and follow the sound, heading over to the arena)

Koopa: (voice-over) Brave knights. You are the best and brightest in all the land. Today one of you shall prove himself...

(SpongeBob hums the Duloc theme song as they walk the tunnel to the arena)

Garfield: All right. You're going the right way for a smacked bottom.

SpongeBob: Sorry about it.

(The crowd in the arena cheers. Koopa is addressing his knights and the crowd)

Koopa: That champion shall have the honor -- no, no -- the privilege to go forth and rescue the lovely Princess Pomni from the woman demon name Vaggie. If for any reason the winner is unsuccessful, the first runner-up will take his place and so on and so forth. Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make. Let the tournament begin! (He notices Garfield) Oh! What is that? Ugh, it's hideous!

(Garfield turns to look at SpongeBob and then back at Koopa)

Garfield: Ah, that's not very nice. It's just a sponge.

Koopa: Indeed. Knights, new plan! The one who kills the orange tabby will be named champion! Have at him!

Garfield: Oh, hey! Now come on! Hang on now.

(He bumps into a table where there are mugs of Barq's root beer)

Garfield: (Holds up a mug of root beer) Can't we just settle this over a pint? No? All right then. (drinks the root beer) Come on!

(Skip to 0:05)

(While the song "Bad Reputation" plays in the background, Garfield takes the mug, smashes the spigot off the large barrel of root beer and root beer floods out, drenching the knights, turning ground to mud. Garfield slides past the Koopa troopa and picks up a spear that one of the Koopa troopa dropped. As Garfield begins to fight SpongeBob hops up onto one of the larger Barq's root beer barrels. It breaks free of it's ropes and begins to roll. SpongeBob manages to squish two Koopa troopas into the mud. There is so much fighting going on here I'm not going to go into detail. And the various fighting scenes with the Koopa troopas)

SpongeBob: Hey, Garfield, tag me! Tag me!

(Garfield comes over and bangs a Koopa troopa's head up against SpongeBob's. Garfield gets up on the ropes and interacts with the crowd)

Garfield: Yeah!

(A koopa troopa tries to sneak up behind Garfield, but Garfield turns in time and sees him)

Woman: The chair! Give him the chair!

(Garfield smashes a chair over the koopa troopa's back. Finally, all the knights are beaten. SpongeBob kick one in the helmet. The ding sounds the end of the match. The audience goes wild)

Garfield: Oh, yeah! Ah! Ah! Thank you! Thank you very much! I'm here till Thursday. Try the veal! (laughs)

(The laughter stops as all of the Koopa troopas turn their weapons on Garfield)

Mouser: Shall I give the order, sir?

Koopa: No, I have a better idea. People of DuLoc, I give you our champion!

Garfield: What?

Koopa: Congratulations, Cat. You've won the honor of embarking on a great and noble quest.

Garfield: Quest? I'm already in a quest, a quest to get my forest back.

Koopa: Your forest?

Garfield: Yeah, my forest! Where you dumped those cartoon, comic, video game, and book creatures!

Koopa: Indeed. All right, cat. I'll make you a deal. Go on this quest for me, and I'll give you your forest back.

Garfield: Exactly the way it was?

Koopa: Down to the last slime-covered toadstool.

Garfield: And the squatters?

Koopa: As good as gone.

Garfield: What kind of quest?
