[Chirping]
[Bird continues chirping]
[Crashing]
[Bird screaming]
He's a fat cat, a cool cat nobody's fool cat
Look out, 'cause here comes Garfield
He never thinks that he's too hip He likes his catnip
Look out, 'cause here comes Garfield
He's always got to be one up on you
And he'll beat you to the punch every time
He'll give up anything for lasagna
Unless he has to give up on his naptime
He's a neat cat, a fun cat just a number one cat
He knows what life is all about
Here comes Garfield
Look out, here comes Garfield
Look out, I said, here comes Garfield
So you better look out
Here comes Garfield
You better look out
[Sighing]
I hate mornings.
I'd like them better if they started later.
[Barking excitedly]
Good morning, Odie.
You're not going to live to see your next birthday. You know that, don't you?
I hate dogs.
As long as I'm up, I might as well have breakfast.
[Upbeat instrumental music]
Rats. My owner must still be lolling around in bed.
It's hard to find good help these days.
[Gentle instrumental music]
[Humming]
Hello, anybody there?
[Scatting]
Good morning, sunshine.
Welcome to another fun-filled day with your favorite pet.
[Sighing]
- I suppose you want breakfast. - That would be great.
I'm so happy to own a cat.
[Amusing instrumental music]
What would you like for breakfast, Garfield?
A cup of coffee, a Danish, and the morning paper.
Okay, one bowl of cat food, coming right up.
Nobody listens anymore.
You know, Garfield...
I wouldn't have to feed you so much...
if you would provide for yourself.
Why don't you chase mice, like other cats?
Show me a good mouser...
and I'll show you a cat with bad breath.
Excuse me.
I'm not known for my compassion.
[Sniffing]
The bouquet leaves something to be desired.
[Odie barking]
Why don't you boys go outside to fight?
[Adventurous instrumental music]
[Odie barking]
[Screams]
[Snarling]
Why, you little...
[Puppy whimpering]
Odie, want to have some fun?
Let's catch the dog next door and wring his tiny little neck.
Come here, honey bun, come to Daddy.
[Whimpering]
What's the matter, honey bun?
Did that mean old cat and dog next door try to hurt you again?
I thought so.
There are those pesky varmints.
Get off my property!
Pester my puppy, will you?
Don't come another step closer!
That does it! Reba.
That cat and dog are in my yard again. Where is my stick?
It's right beside you where you always keep it, dear.
I know that.
Here, kitty. Come here, doggy. I want to pet you...
with my stick!
[Tense instrumental music]
Just look at you, Hubert. Potted again.
[Laughing]
Dagnabbit, Reba!
Can't you see I've been assaulted by those pesky varmints?
Bring me the phone.
You've done it this time!
I'm going to fix your wagons once and for all!
Hello, city pound?
This is Hubert, on Main Street.
I've got a couple of customers for you.
Send a truck right over.
[Tires screeching]
What took you so long?
Get that cat and that dog! Take them away!
[Tense instrumental music]
It's the city pound.
Come on, let's get out of here.
Odie, make a break for it.
You're so stupid, you don't even know you're in big trouble.
I may never see you again.
GARFIELD: Oh, well, good riddance, Odie.
I never liked you much, anyhow.
Ten thousand dogs in this city...
and I have to live with Tweedledee, the wonder dummy.
[Pounding at door]
Garfield wants in.
When I want in, I want in now.
Garfield, where's Odie? He didn't come back with you?
[Fast-paced instrumental music]
You got fleas or something?
What we have here is a failure to communicate.
You know, Pleasure Motors is conveniently located...
right here in downtown.
Of course, if you can't make it there, we have new locations in midtown...
uptown and in the Loop.
At Pleasure Motors, your business is our pleasure.
Our pleasure is your business. And our pleasure is none of your business.
Oh, boy, am I bored.
I guess I miss Odie.
It's hard to believe I could miss someone...
who stares and slobbers all at the same time.
Someone who has to turn around three times before lying down.
Someone who drinks out of the toilet.
I remember when Odie and I were just puppy and kitten.
[Odie yelping]
[Somber instrumental music]
[Sniffing]
What's that? Could it be?
No, it couldn't. Yes, it could.
No, it isn't.
Yes, it is. Food!
'Long about midnight
When everybody else has long been sleeping
He'll be creeping down to the kitchen of the house
'Long about midnight
When nobody else is even moving he'll be grooving
Quieter than a mouse
Down to the kitchen of the house
I said he pokes his head around the corner
He makes sure nobody's in sight
Jumps up on the kitchen table
To see what the cat can drag out tonight
'Round midnight
No sweat, Sarge.
I'll take that machine gun nest out with my trusty bazooka here.
So this is what it feels like to be potato salad.
Yuck!
Rhett, Rhett, whatever shall I do? Wherever shall I go?
Take me to your leader, Earthling, or I'll atomize your face.
[Laughing]
When everybody else is safely sacking
He'll be snacking
On a big lamb, toast and jam, lasagna in a pan
'Long about the middle of the night
Now, does he regret it?
Yes, he feels so very blue
And when he gets too round he tries to cut down
Only for an hour or two
Then, around midnight
When that old hunger gets to stirring he'll go purring
Light on his feet, till he starts to eat
'Long about the middle of the night
Well, if it isn't nature's most perfect food.
Lasagna.
Where have you been all my life, mon chérie?
You know I can't resist you when you wear garlic in your meat sauce.
Would you like to come to my place for dinner?
Oh, very well. I'll just have dinner right here.
'Long about midnight
Or 1:00, that cat creeping
Going down to the kitchen
Just to see what he can be eating
'Long about midnight
Watch that cat purring
He'll be scurrying
Down to the kitchen of the house
'Long about midnight
Watch him moving
Easing into the kitchen
Just to see what he can be chewing
I'm bored. Bored, bored.
I am bored.
That's it.
I'm going down to the city pound, and I'm going to break Odie out of there.
Look out, pound, here comes Garfield.
[Thunder clapping]
Nice touch.
[Dramatic instrumental music]
[Suspenseful instrumental music]
[Spits]
Buddy, you got any cigarettes on you?
- What kind of a question is that? - I don't know.
It's just something you're supposed to ask when you're in the slammer.
Back off, Odie. You're the reason I'm in this fix.
FAST EDD Y: Fella, take it easy on the mutt.
Who are you, and what business is it of yours, anyway?
My name is Fast Eddy, and this is my associate, Fluffy.
And if youse must know, you should be nice to the mutt there...
because he's the next to go.
Go where?
Look, pal, this here ain't no good ship Lollipop over here.
This is the city pound...
and if no one comes to claim us, it's...
If youse know what I mean.
- How long does Odie have? - Till dawn.
Let's change the subject, okay?
Sure. Would youse like to talk about needlepoint?
That would be nice.
Shut up.
Youse'll have to excuse my associate.
It was his lack of smarts that got him here to begin with.
Couldn't be housebroken.
And you?
I was, you might say, between owners...
when they caught me roaming the streets.
There are many interesting stories...
behind why these pets is here.
Fido, there, was not on a leash...
Rocky happened to beat up a neighborhood dog.
Charlotte sharpened her claws...
on a King Edward V divan.
And Weird Lonnie is in here for impersonating a moose.
It's time to hit the sack.
Sack? What sack?
That sack.
Come on, Odie, let's get some sleep.
Don't worry, old buddy, you'll be okay.
[Somber instrumental music]
So long, old friend
I wish that I could see you once again
I never knew
the time would come when I'd be losing you
I hope you know
I never meant to treat you badly
And now I know
just what a friend like you is for
I never thought
that it would end so sadly
and you'd be walking through that door
So long, old friend
I wish that I could see you once again
I never knew
the time would come when I'd be losing you
I always thought our fun and games
would just go on and on
I never knew I'd have to say
[Sighing]
So long
[Door opening]
No. You can't take Odie away.
Let him go, you fool.
If you try to stop them, they'll take you, too.
I'll see you, Odie, sometime, somewhere.
So long, old friend.
I never knew I'd have to say
so long
- Come on, get in line. - What for?
There's a family coming in to adopt a cat or a dog.
This could be our way out.
Our way out.
[Mooing]
- Let's see... - Come on, will you, hurry up.
- I'll take that one. - Me?
She has good taste.
[All barking]
[Tense instrumental music]
Now we're together again
No need to be lonely
Together again, my one and only
Together again, my friend, just you and me
Now we're together again
No need to be lonely
Together again, my one and only
Together again, my friend, just you and me
Now we're together again
No need to be lonely
Together again, my one and only
Together again, my friend
Well, I suppose you boys had a big night...
singing on the fence, chasing cars...
while I sat home and worried myself sick over you.
I thought so.
Home is where they understand you.
It's pathetic the way some animals beg at the table.
Where is your pride, Odie?
JON: Okay, here you go, boy.
JON: Oh, very well, Garfield.
I'm only human.
[Cheery music]
