[Nermal] Not cute.

Not cute.

Not cute.

Definitely not cute.

Boy, that's about as not cute as you can get.

Nermal, remind me again how much longer you're planning to overstay your welcome?

[muttering grumpily]

I've told you, like, eleven times, Garfield.

Tell me twelve.

The Cutest Pet Pageant finals are tonight at the Town Hall.

I, of course, will win as I always do.

I am, after all, the cutest creature in the universe-as-we-know-it!

Which reminds me...

If you're gonna look great, smell great.

[sighing happily]

Don't worry, Garf. After I win, I'll depart.

Eventually.

[moaning sadly]

In other news, a skunk was spotted downtown this morning,

prompting the sheriff to lock down the area...

A skunk? In this town? Yucko!

Skunks are mammals

and they can create an unpleasant odor that clings to people or other animals.

Ew. I hate skunks.

And I'm sure they're not wild about you either, Nermal.

It's just that if a skunk were to spoil my delicate fur,

I'd lose the Cutest Pet Contest...

[shivering]

I would never survive such public humiliation.

I'd have to leave town forever!

Oh, I like the sound of that.

Skunks are small, about the size of an average house cat.

Each has a distinctive white stripe on its back.

Size of a cat, stripe down its back.

[intriguing music]

And now for the final touch...

[in French] Voilà!

[laughing]

Now all I need is bad body odor!

Woohoo! I'm in luck!

It's trash day

and that means the fullest, smelliest cans of the week.

Observe my fine diving form...

Oh, rotting fish. I'm off to a good start.

Dirty socks!

Repulsive!

Old egg shells and banana peels left over from my old series.

Disgusting!

Limburger cheese made during the Italian Renaissance!

Wow! This really smells.

And now, so do I!

Watch as I get rid of the "Annoying One"...

[sniffing]

Oh! What is that awful smell?

[sniffing]

That would be moi...

[buzzing]

A sk... a skun... a sk... [stammering]

[screaming]

I enjoyed that so much.

Let's watch it again in slow motion...

[laughing]

[Garfield laughing]

Oh, this is so good...

[Odie whimpering]

[laughing]

Relax, Odie. It's only me, Garfield.

[howling]

I guess I'd better go wash up all this paint.

Garfield... Odie... Nermal... Lunch is ready...

[screaming]

A sk... a sk... a skunk!

Please don't come anywhere near me! I'll do whatever you want!

Here, you can have this!

[screaming]

Maybe that shower can wait.

Let's see what else I can do with my newfound repulsive powers!

[intriguing music]

See those two dogs?

Meanest in the neighborhood.

Ordinarily, I'd see them and run the other way.

But this time...

[screaming]

[sniffing]

[gasping]

[growling]

[coughing]

[howling]

I'm beginning to enjoy stinking.

[screaming]

[Garfield humming]

[screaming]

[humming]

[screaming]

[laughing]

[screaming]

[cheerful music]

And una calzone for you!

And rigatoni in clam sauce for you...

[sniffing]

Vito?

Something wrong with your pizza, Mrs. Bagicaluppe?

It stinks. And if it's not the pizza,

where could that horrible stench come from?

Maybe he put anchovies on it.

[screaming]

There's something to be said for bad hygiene.

[cheerful music]

And we have reports of the skunk sighted all over the city.

So many so that some fear there are now two skunks.

-Two? -[whining]

I can't worry about that now.

I have to go get ready for the Cutest Pet Contest tonight.

Come along with me if you want to.

The mayor has ordered all available forces to be mobilized

to find that... [sniffing]

Dear me, I think that skunk's around here someplace.

This is great! I should have gone skunk years ago.

[gasping]

[gasping]

[sirens blaring]

Hold it right there, skunk!

Put your hands up and don't try anything smelly!

[helicopter blades whirring]

[suspenseful music]

All this for a tiny little skunk? Like... really?

[screaming]

[panting]

[suspenseful music continues]

[screaming]

[panting]

[sirens blaring]

[screaming]

[Garfield panting]

Pssst! In here! Hurry!

- You're a real sk... - Shhhh!

[muffled voices]

This way.

Thanks, I guess.

You're the real deal, huh?

I helped you out because I thought you were a fellow skunk, but I see...

Yeah, just a cat with a bad paint job.

But... [sniffing]

You don't smell bad at all! I thought...

Forget everything you've heard about skunks.

We're actually quite clean and tidy. Wanna know our secret?

[intriguing music]

A perfume bottle?

Yup. "Eau de Putois".

Every skunk carries one at all times.

See, we can't defend ourselves against predators,

so that stinky perfume keeps us safe.

Ew! Very nasty!

[screaming]

They're all gone now. You're safe to go.

Wow, thanks. You saved me.

Don't even mention it.

At first, I thought it was kinda fun to scare people off.

But after awhile, isn't it a bit... Kind of lonely, to be a skunk?

It's all right.

We skunks are pretty solitary creatures anyway.

There's one thing I've always dreamt of doing, though.

The Cutest Pet Contest?

I know, I know. Pathetic, right? [sighing]

But it would be nice to be known

for something other than my bad body odor...

Mmmm... I'll make you a deal.

You help me get this paint off

and maybe I can make your dream come true.

And now, people, the moment you've been waiting for!

These are the three finalists

in this year's Cutest Pet Competition!

Just get on with it. Just give me my trophy.

We'll be announcing the winner right after this commercial.

Don't go away!

Oh! I have time to freshen up!

[intriguing music]

[mischievous laugh]

Ah, there's where I left it.

Ah!

[Eddie Gourmand] Contestants, back on stage!

Well, time to win...

Oh-oh...

Yucko!

In a moment, I will open the envelope

and read the decision of the judges

as to which of these pets is truly

the cutest of the cute.

That winner embodies the spirit and...

[sniffing]

...beauty and poise and...

[sniffing]

...and just being adorable and cute and...

Let's get this over with, because I need a window and a gas mask.

And the winner is...

[giggling]

[howling]

Not you!

"Not me?" No, no! Take the "not" out!

[gasping]

I don't understand!

This vile, nasty smell can't possibly be coming from moi!

Security!

Get that smelly cat out of here! I can't...

No! I'm the winner! I'm always the winner! It's my birthright.

Just look at me! Can't you see I'm the cutest pet in the whole world?

I protest! I demand a recount! I demand a recount of the recount!

Er... are you sure about this?

Sure, I m sure!

Okay, they're short one finalist. You just get out there.

But... people always run away from me...

They won't this time. Go...

A skunk!

[screaming]

As if it didn't smell bad enough in here..

[sniffing]

Hey, he doesn't smell bad...

In fact, he smells pretty good for a skunk.

Well, since there are no other contestants left,

I guess that this year's winner of the Cutest Pet Contest is...

[laughing]

a skunk!

[applause]

[victorious music]

Bravo! Bravo!

Adorable!

Hey, everyone feels like a skunk now and then.

And sometimes, all you need to pass the smell test

is a little perfume.

[upbeat music]
