Transcript[edit | edit source]
Jon: I have a surprise for you, Garfield. Here's a hint...
{Jon makes wild gesticulations as he mimes flapping his chicken wings and puts his fingers either side of his head as cow horns}
Jon: MOO! MOOOOO!! OINK OINK BUCK-BUCK-BUCK-AAW!
{Garfield is shocked, but soon gets over it}
Jon: We're going to play Minecraft!
Garfield: I thought you got a date.
