Garfield 2《加菲猫》2(五)
Preston: Oh, hogwash!
Garfield: Huh?
Preston: I tell you, this cat is mocking us at every turn.
Winston: Preston, calm yourself. We're only doing what is best for everybody.
Preston: How much longer must we sustain this charade? I can't believe this cat is so stupid as to think he's actually royalty.
Winston: Well, he does, and house cat or not, we need him.
Garfield: Wha...? House cat?
Winston: Just have a little patience.
Preston: Patience? Ha! Admit it, Winston. This buffoon couldn't groom the paws of a real king.
Garfield: Buffoon?!
Garfield: Golly, this is without a doubt my all-time crummiest moment. Huh? Jon. Man, I've been such a stupid, selfish cat. I've lost my friend. I've got to find him.
Guide: The original medieval kitchen has stood on this site since 1485...
Dargis: Yes, yes, it's big. It's old and it's musty.
Guide: Uh, Lord Dargis, uh, please meet the tour group from the Royal Animal Conservancy.
Dargis: Oh! By all means, save the little darlings. That's my motto. Big fan of Free Willy, Born Free, all the free movies. Bravo! Now off you go.
Guide: If you come this way, we'll visit some of the underground passages, one of which...
Dargis: Hello. Welcome to Carlyle Castle, my dear.
Liz: Thank you. It's, it's beautiful.
Dargis: Well, that makes two of you. Did I mention how much I abhor fox hunting? Unless, of course, in self-defense.
Liz: Bye.
Dargis: If I may... Uh, one question, uh...?
Liz: Liz.
Dargis: Ah, the same as our own dear queen. Cordial? One question, Liz.
Garfield: Liz?
Dargis: What would you say if I were to donate one of my priceless oil paintings to your conservancy?
Liz: Um... Thank you?
Dargis: Mm! But how would you say it?
Garfield: That royal sleaze is hitting on Liz.
Dargis: Perhaps you would consider dining with me at the castle tonight?
Garfield: Nobody hits on my best friend's girlfriend... and succeeds.
