[TV Host]

Dr Whipple, before the break,


you were telling us about

the importance of dreams...


Yes. Our dreams generally show


the kind of lives

we secretly want to live.


They're often about the world

the way we wish it could be.


He's right. I sometimes dream

about being a super-hero...

strong, smart, invincible...

What do you dream about,

Garfield?

Pasta, mostly.

There he is... the test subject

for my latest invention.

And he doesn't suspect a thing.

Doctor,


is there any way to control

what others dream about?

No, that's impossible.

No, it isn't! I can do it!

My new invention can do it!


We make our own dreams

so we control our own dreams.

I suppose if someone could

control the dreams of others,


that person

could rule the world.

Yes! I can and I will!
I have only two dreams.

One is to rule the world.

Is that asking so much?


[Nathan's mother] Nathan!

It's past your bedtime! Go to bed!


Oh, and before you do,

take out the garbage!

[groan]

Yes, Mother!

I'll be in bed just as soon


as I finish my homework!

And my other dream


is to never, ever again

be told to go to bed


or take out the garbage!

Perfect...

He is, as he so often is,
sound asleep.

I am going to give that cat

the worst nightmare he has ever had.


But first, to lull him

into a false sense of happy,

I will give him a good dream.
The best dream
he's ever had in his life!

Thank you for letting me sleep

for several days, Jon.

What's for breakfast?

I didn't know

what to make you for breakfast

so I just made infinite lasagna.

"Infinite lasagna"?

That's like almost forever?

Enjoy it while you can, cat!
And remember, Garfield.

There's plenty more

where those came from.

I remember, I remember.
I have the results

of your check-up, Garfield.

Everything's great.


Go on eating

everything you want.


In fact, you could

stand to gain a few pounds

What's that, boy?

You want me to throw the stick

so you can fetch it?


You never want me to throw

the stick so you can fetch it?

Never again?
[barking]
[happy singing]
Garfield, we want you to know...

We'll never dress you up

in women's clothing ever again.


And sorry about the bridal gown

last Tuesday.

Although
you did look stunning in it.

Hi, Garfield.

From now on,


I'm going to save you

the trouble of tormenting me.


I'll just deliver your mail...

Here.

Then I'll throw myself
into a mudhole.
Bravo! Bravo! Author! Author!

Boy, great things are happening

to me all of a sudden!


I wonder what other dreams

of mine could come true!

Cat,

I'm a very rich man.

I have a large sack of money


and I don't know

what to do with it


so you might as well have it.

Here.


Ouch!

Works for me.

Garfield,

I'm going to give you

and your show a rave review.

It's so funny, it's exciting...

Oh, and this dream sequence

is absolutely brilliant!

I'm gonna give you four stars!

-Aunt Ivy!

-Garfield...

I just want you to know.

Since nobody likes me

on this show, I'm quitting

and I'll never be on here again.
Goodbye forever!
Oh, now that you got rid of her,
five stars! Maybe six!

I'm coming to you live

from downtown


where every attractive female

for miles around


is flocking

to the cutest cat in the world.

Nermal's here? Oh, wait.
This is my dream. It's me!
From miles around,

they've come just for the chance

to be near him

and perhaps pet him.

He's so adorable,

I think I'll join them.


Hey, wait for me,

I saw him first!

Oh, hey, don't push, ladies.

There's enough of me

to go around.


And if there isn't,

I can put on a few more pounds.

[sigh]
I might as well admit it.
Garfield is much cuter than I am.

I guess he's always been and...

I just didn't want to admit it.

I'm sorry, Garfield.

I'm sorry

for all the grief I caused you.


I'm sorry for all those times

I woke you up.


I'm sorry

for all the bragging I did


about my silly and meaningless awards.

I'm sorry


for all the times I was so obnoxious

that you had to put me


in a box and spend all that

money mailing me to Abu Dhabi.


I'll make sure

you never have to do it again...


I'm sending myself there

and you'll never see


my not-as-cute-as-I-thought-it-was

face again!


[Garfield]

So long, Nermal.


If you see Aunt Ivy, tell her

not to come back, either!

[Eddie Gourmand] No more Nermal?

Eight stars!

No, make that ten!


Oh, just take all the stars

and the box they came in.

All of you! Get away from him!
I saw him first!
Arlene!

I finally appreciate

how wonderful you are.

I've been telling you that for years.
[Vito] Garfield! I have

a few hundred pizzas here

I don't know what to do with.

Would you mind eating them?
For you, Vito, anything...
I take back every bad thing

I ever said about you.

Even that remark


about your stomach looking like

an overinflated basketball.


Can you possibly...

possibly forgive me?

I'll consider it.

All right!

Enough of the good dream!

Time for the bad dream!

[Nathan's mother]

Nathan! Bedtime and garbage!

[groan]
In a moment, mother dear!
Right now! Bad dream time!

Welcome to your worst nightmare,

Garfield!


No, Arlene. I know

I'm an adorable adorable cat


but you don't have to give me

such expensive gifts.


Jon...

Jon, what's for breakfast?


Raisins! From now on,

you eat nothing but raisins!

Raisins?

Raisin pie! Raisin sandwiches!

Raisin bran without the bran!

Raisin Chow Mein! Raisin tacos!
[scream]

But I am making spaghetti

and meatballs!


Except that instead

of the spaghetti, I'm using raisins


and instead of the meatballs,

I'm using raisins.


I checked out your diet,

Garfield. It turns out


what you should be eating is...

absolutely nothing ever again!


No, I will not throw the stick

so you can fetch it!


No, I will not throw the stick

so you can fetch it!


No, I...

You get the idea!


Garfield! Remember that sack

of money I gave you?

This one?

I forgot to deduct taxes

from that.

Here,
This is what you get to keep.
I will take that and put it
towards your pizza bill.

How could this nightmare

get any worse?


[Minerva]

Kitty cat!

That's how.
Kitty cat!
It's a bold fashion statement.
It's a trend-setting look.
I think it's tacky and cheap.
And that zero stars.

And your stomach

does look like a basketball.

An overinflated one.

I've got to get out

of this nightmare!


You can't get out of it!

It's in your head


and as long as

my machine is working,

that's where it will stay.

[Nathan's mother] Nathan!

Skip the garbage for tonight

but go to bed!
Yes, darling mother.

All right, all right.

I'll go to bed.


But Garfield's nightmare

will continue!

This just in. The city has voted
to ban lasagna and to declare

that from now on, every day

of the week will be Monday.


I've got to get out of this nightmare.

And these clothes.


Hey, Garfield. I've got

some packages for you...

Hi, Garfield! I'm back!
Hi, Garfield!
Hi, Garfield!
Hi, Garfield!

No! No!

Things could not get any worse!


Wait a minute. Every time

I say things can't get worse,

they get worse. See?
I'm back, too.

And from now on, I'm going

to be in every episode.

No!

When will this nightmare

ever end?

It will when you want it to.

Don't you remember what I said

We make our own dreams.

Yeah?

So we can control

our own dreams.


In your case,

here's what you need to do.


Nathan! That evil boy genius

across the street!

I should have known!
Thanks, Dr. Whipple!
Don't mention it.
Wake up!
[snoring]
No! No!
Not that! Not that!

[Nathan's mother]

Nathan, take out the garbage!

Nathan, go to bed!
Nathan, take out the garbage!

Nathan, go to bed!

Nathan, take out the garbage!


You know,

this is a lot more entertaining

than half the shows on TV.
Now this is the ultimate dream.

Time to turn in

for the night, guys.

[throat clearing]

You want to sleep

down here tonight, Garfield?


Some nights, you just want

to be closer to the kitchen.


You want to sleep

in my room, Odie?

Okay. Sweet dreams, Garfield.

Take a peek, Norvell.

See if it's safe.

Yeah yeah, I'll...
Hey, why don't you take a peek?

Will you just look?

The show starts any minute now.

All clear.

Hey, Artie. Can he hear

anything with those on?

Let's see.
Garfield, wake up.
Okay, here comes the big test.
Garfield! Wake up!
We're good. Let's watch TV.
What channel is it?

Ninety-nine and a half.

It's a channel


that's on every TV but humans

don't know about it.


Now for our final round.


Remember,

if you can name that cheese,


you can eat that cheese.

Are you ready?


-Ready!

-Ready, Bob!

Then... Name that cheese!

-Adiago!

-Camembert!


What's the big deal?

It's Norwegian organic


yellow brick made with milk

from a cow named Bessie.

Gorgonzola! Jack Cheese!
Brie... Feta?

I'm sorry. The correct answer

is Norwegian organic


yellow brick made with milk

from a cow named Bessie!

You were right, Artie.
Hey, I know cheese.
Well, since no one got it,

we'll add that cheese

to next week's cheese jackpot


which will be worth ,

milligrams of cholesterol.


Stay tuned for
The Rat Report
,


coming up next,

here on the All-Rodent Channel.


For now,

bye-bye from
Name That Cheese
!


Okay. The show we have

to see is starting now.


You're watching

the All-Rodent Channel,


the only channel for mice,


hamsters, guinea pigs, rats,

squirrels, moles, beavers,


chipmunks and porcupines.


Now! Tonight on
The Rat Report


"The Truth About Cats"


What should you as a rodent

know about them?


Pay attention, Norvell.

This could save our lives.


Cats. They're a fact of life


and we as mice

have to deal with them.


To get the lowdown,

the All-Rodent Channel


sent a gerbil with a hidden

camera to this house


to find out about this cat.

Hey, isn't that Garfield?

Here are seven things

every rodent must know


about a cat like this one...


Number one. Cats like

to sleep all day and all night.


-Yeah, that's him.

-Number two.


Cats love to claw

everything in sight.


Number three.

Cats love to eat.


-Right again.

-Yes.


Number four.

Cats can be mean to dogs.


Let's watch that one again

in slow motion.


Number five.


Cats can be mean to other cats.


Here you are, Garfield.

Happy birthday.

Oh, this is just what I wanted.

Hi. I'd like to regift

this to someone in Abu Dhabi, please.


Why am I wasting my time?

At Garfield's house,


they never throw away

anything that's edible.


Number six.

Cats can be mean to anyone.


I'm about to deliver the mail

to the house with that cat, Muriel.


Just in case I don't return,

I want you to know

I've always loved you.
Boogie! Boogie!
Oh, it's you, Garfield.

That's an awful thing

you did to me.


I ought to do something awful

to you, sometime.

See how you like it!
I'm not worried.

What awful thing

could you possibly do to me?

Heya, Garfield!

I'll have to hand it to the man.

This is pretty awful.


But the main thing


every rodent must know

about cats is this.


Cats... eat... mice.


That's so important,

I'm going to repeat it...


Cats... eat... mice.

Well, some of us sure try.

Garfield wouldn't eat a mouse.

Would he?


I'm not sure. They say it

on television. They must know...


Our camera-gerbil was unable

to get any shots


of this particular cat

eating a mouse...


...but we did film him

eating everything else.


Except raisins, of course.

But it's a fact. Cats eat mice.

There's a name for mice

who think they know a cat


that won't devour them.


You know what we call

those mice?

We call them...
lunch.

No cats were harmed

in the making of this program...


Unfortunately.


We'd better get out

of this house. Sooner or later,

Garfield will eat us!
You sure, Artie?
Yeah. I'm sure.
He's a cat, isn't he?

Hey, change the station

on the TV


so Mr. Arbuckle doesn't find out

about the All-Rodents Channel.

Oh, right.

People! It's five o'clock

in the morning!


Time for me, of course,


to tell you all about radishes!


We love radishes!

Careful. Don't wake him up.

We don't have to worry

about that.


There's nothing in this world,

nothing,

that could wake that cat up.

But you know what goes

real well with radishes?


Lasagna.


If you're serving radishes

and you want your guests to cheer,


just serve them

with a side of lasagna.

Did someone mention lasagna?
Hey Artie,

you really think Garfield

would have tried to devour us?


He's tried to eat

everything else in that house.


Sooner or later,

we would have been dinner.

How about breakfast instead?
Hey, breakfast! Come back here!
You're not getting away!

One more thing about radishes.


Don't you just love

the sound they make

when you crush them?

No. And get back to what

you were saying about lasagna.

[Mice] Run! He's after us!

Isn't it a little early

in the morning for...

anything?

Hey, Artie! We can go back

into the house now!

And what if we go back in there

and Garfield suddenly gets

the morning mouse munchies?

Now, as I was saying...

I think I'll start my day

with a little mouse omelet


You'd be great

with some home fries on the side

and maybe an English muffin.
Hi, Harry!
What do you got there?

Oh, looks like the makings

of a mouse omelet.


That'll be delicious...

especially with vermin sauce.

Vermin sauce?

A mouse omelet is nothing

without vermin sauce.

You have some, of course.

-No...

-Too bad.


Hey, I think Jon threw

half a bottle out last night.


It's probably still there

in the trash can.


Hey, thanks. I'll get it and...

Do me a favor, Garfield.


Hold these

while I fish out the bottle.

Glad to be of service.
I don't see it.

It's probably down

near the bottom.


Is this it?

No, that's a shoe.

Maybe it's down here...
Hey! What's going on here?
Help!
Garfield! You double-crossed me!
Now you're gonna eat my mice,
Garfield!
Garfield...
are you... are you...
you know... really...
Going to...
eat us?
Eat mice? Ick.
Why would I want to dine on mice

when there are donuts

in this world?


Which reminds me. I'll let

you two share my breakfast.


Just as long as you promise

to eat like mice.


We're sorry we thought that

about you, Garfield.

Yeah...

We'll never believe anything

we ever hear on TV again.


Oh, there are things

on television that aren't true.


But there's an awful lot

that is true. The thing is


don't believe it true

just because it's on television.


Stay tuned

for
The Garfield Show
,


the funniest

and most wonderful program ever!


Except for that.

That's absolutely true.


I hope they show the one

where the two mice get up


in the middle of the night

and watch TV.

Garfield!
