Hi, Garfield.
You know,

there's nothing better

than sitting in an easy chair

with a bowl of popcorn

and watching your favorite

TV show.

He's right.

There is nothing better

than sitting in an easy chair

with a bowl of popcorn

and watching your favorite

TV show.


I assume you're all doing

that right now.


You'll be sorry you did that,

Garfield.

Real sorry.

Mouse! Help, Garfield!

There's a mouse in the kitchen!

Don't worry. He won't eat much.

Garfield! Come save me from

the awful, ugly, horrible mouse!


You're not exactly

the best-looking creature

on the planet either.
Help!
Guess I've got to do this.
Get rid of it! Get rid of it!

He sounds like me

when Nermal visits.


Do you remember routine

number eight?

My favorite!

Help! I should have known

better than to enter a house


where Garfield the Cat

is on patrol!


Leave this home

and never come back!


I am leaving

and I will never be back


as long as

Garfield the cat is here!

Thanks, Garfield.
Routine number eight!
I don't know what it is.

Ever since I was a child,

I've had this fear of mice.


[TV show]
Have you had a fear of mice

ever since you were a child?


Or a fear of heights, flying,

public speaking,


snakes or people named Sid?


Then come to Dr. Whipple's Fear

and Phobia Fighting Facility.


Dr. Whipple's Fear and

Phobia Fighting Facility


can clear over ten thousand

common fears


including Spatulaphobia.


The fear of sitting

on a grilled cheese sandwich.


Vo-do-de-ophobia.


The fear of finding raisins

in your cole slaw.

That one keeps me up at night.

Or even Zidda-Bodda-Wodda-Wodda-

Boink-Boink-Freebaphobia!


The fear of accidentally moving

your entire family to Peru


and becoming

a wheelbarrow repairman.


You'd be amazed

how often that happens.


No matter what you're afraid of,


Dr. Whipple can cure you


at his Fear and

Phobia Fighting Facility.


That's it, Garfield!

I'm going to go to


Dr. Whipple's Fear

and Phobia Fighting Facility


and have him cure me

of my fear of mice.


I wonder if Dr. Whipple

can cure me of


my fear of what's

going to go wrong with this.


[Dr. Whipple] Of course I can cure

your fear of mice, Mr. Arbuckle.


While I'm at it, I'll also cure

you of Huge-sum-a-phobia.


"Huge-sum-a-phobia?"

What's that?


That's the fear of

getting my bill.

That's a wise thought.
This is my Phobia Flusher.

It can remove or also give you

any known phobia.

I'll set it to "remove"
and to "musophobia."

That's the fear of mice

and then.


We just give you

a few seconds of it.

[scream]
[laughter]

And now,

you should be unafraid of mice.

Let's test it. Sandra?
I'm... I'm not afraid.

Garfield,

I'm not afraid of mice.

[laughter]

Now, just because

I'm no longer afraid of mice

doesn't change your job.

I still don't want to see any

in the house.


I'll tell them to do

a better job of hiding.


It says here that the fear

of cats is called "gatophobia."

That's right!
Just out of curiosity.

What would happen

if you implanted a fear of cats

into a cat?

I don't know.

Let's try it and find out.

Let's see. "Add fear,"
"gatophobia."

[Jon] I should have gotten

that other fear removed.

I'm getting scared of his bill.
[scream]
I'll follow them to record

the findings

of our little experiment.

Wow. A cat who's afraid of cats.
I wonder what that'll be like...

I'm going to

go start cooking dinner.


Great. Whatever you're making,

make more of it than that.

Hiya, Garfield!
Oh hi, Harry. What are you--
[scream]

Garfield!

What are you doing up there?

Go away! Just go away!

I'm not coming down

until you go away!


All right, all right.

I'm going away.


Gee, I always thought

Garfield liked me...


This footage will be great

for my TV show.

In my moment of panic,

I forgot I'm not good

at climbing.

Especially down.

I can't wait until Garfield sees

this new lip gloss I got.

I'm sure he's going to love it.
There you are, Garfield!

How do you like the way

I look today?

[scream]

[sobbing]

Come on.


I've got to get rid of

this lip gloss!


It must make me look like

a monster!

[scream]
Did you understand that?
Why did Garfield do that?

Well, at least when Garfield's

not around


I can watch TV without

getting hurled into a trash can.


I assume you're all doing that

right now.


Coming up later today

on the Dr. Whipple Show,


I show you how I instilled

a fear of cats into a cat!


Here you see the specimen

frightened by every cat he sees


including himself.

Garfield?
[laughter]

Whoa! This is my chance to get

even with Garfield! At last!


Oh, I hope I don't run

into any cats.

Including myself.
Hello, Garfield!

-Meow!

-[scream]

[laughter]
I'm never happy to see Nermal

but that encounter

was worse than ever!

How about this one?
[scream]
[laughter]
This is great!
I need a place to hide.
Where can I hide?
How about in here with me?
Sure, I'll--
Go away! Go away!
Go away!
I'll go away, Garfield,

if you promise you'll never

mail me to Abu Dhabi ever again.

But that's my favorite thing!
No, no! All right,

I promise! I'll never mail you

to Abu Dhabi again!


There you are!

What did Nermal make you do?


Promise to never again mail him

to Abu Dhabi.


I don't know

why I was so afraid of him.

I can tell you why. Come here.
[whisper]
Dr. Whipple, huh?

I think I'm going to go "borrow"

that invention of his.


I'm heading home, Doctor!

See you in the morning.


"Remove gatophobia,

fear of cats..."

I think I'm cured!
Yes!
I am no longer afraid of me!

Okay now, let's program

a few other fears

in here for other folks.
Okay, Nermal.
Now, it's your turn.

Garfield will never

bother me again.

He'll never even come near me.
And if he does,

he's promised never to mail me

to Abu Dhabi again.

[scream]
Scared of something, Nermal?
Yes but I don't know what.
Maybe you have Cute-a-phobia.
Cute-a-phobia? What's that?
Fear of being too adorable.
That's it!
[scream]

What am I going to do? I am too

adorable! And I always will be!

Not in Abu Dhabi.

They have a different standard

of adorableness over there.

Then send me to Abu Dhabi!
But I promised not to.
I release you from your promise!
Please! Send me to Abu Dhabi!
Well, if you insist.

I don't know how to thank you

for this, Garfield.


Just staying there forever

will do fine.


Here. Fifteenth class

cattle barge rate, please.

Nicely done, Garf.

You're going to return

that invention to Dr. Whipple?

Sure.

He'll need it to remove

the fear I gave him.

Bye, Nermal!

It's a new one I invented.

I call it "animate-ophobia."

"Animate-ophobia"?

Yeah. It's the fear of being

in a cartoon show.

I'm...
I'm in a cartoon show!

Oh no!

I'm still in a cartoon show!

And out here too!
No matter where I go,
I'm still in a cartoon show!
[scream]
[laughter]

I'm about to risk my life again,

Muriel.


That's right,

the Arbuckle house.


That cat's been doing everything

he can this week

to scare me.
He wears costumes.

Monday, he was a zombie.

Tuesday, he was a mummy.

Today... today,
I can't imagine what horrible,

bone-chilling creature

he'll be dressed as.

Hi. I'll take that.

[on the phone]

Herman?


Herman, are you there?


Herman, talk to me!

Bill. Bill. Bill. Bill. Bill.

Here's an ad for a company

that can reduce your bills.

Bill. Bill. Bill. Bill. Bill.

In case you haven't

figured it out yet, folks

Jon's nieces are visiting.

[Drusilla]

Kitty cat! Kitty cat!

That's them.
Drusilla and Minerva.

Or maybe it's Minerva

and Drusilla. I can't tell.

[laughter]
There he is!

Now let's dress him up

for his senior prom.


He needs to make

an important fashion statement.


I have an important

fashion statement for you.

After him!
We need to dress him up!
Don't let Garfield get away.
There will be no running.

There will be

no dressing Garfield up

in cute frilly outfits.
I'm so glad Jon is around.

There will also be

no watching TV.

I wish Jon wasn't here.
I know you, Garfield.
You're going to watch

the monster movie marathon

that's on tonight.

I have to!

Twenty-four solid hours

of ghouls, goblins and things

that go "eek" in the night!
Please!

We wanna watch too!

We wanna watch too!


No. I'm not going to deal with

two little girls' nightmares.


Two little girls

and one little puppy.

Odie wants to watch too.
I've made up my mind.
No monster movies.

Besides, it'll be scary enough

around here


if we have that big thunderstorm

they're predicting.

Now, go get ready for dinner.
I'm always ready for dinner.

And lunch. And breakfast.

And a a.m. snack.

And all the buffets.
Good night, Uncle Jon!
Good night, Minerva!
Good night, Drusilla!
No, I'm Drusilla!
She's Minerva!
Whatever.

[Jon]

Good night, guys.

And remember no monster movies.
No monster movies.

[TV show]
Welcome to

tonight's hour marathon


of the scariest movies

ever made.

Shut!

We have to keep the volume down

so Jon can't hear it upstairs.


Whatever you do, no matter

how much the movie scares you,

don't yell out in fear.
[Jon] Ahem!
[scream]
Perhaps you didn't understand

the meaning of the phrase:

"No monster movies."

Roughly translated, it means:
"No monster movies."

Oh well,

when you explain it like that...

I'm going to bed.
Again...
[phone call]

Who could that be

in the middle of the night?

Hello? Who is this?
This is me, Eddie Gourmand.

I think my car won't start

but I can't try it


and see because

I locked my keys in my car.

Are you listening, Arbuckle?

I'm out here

on North Branch Road


near the intersection

with Miller's Turnpike


and it's raining

and it's very wet.


I think my shorts

are shrinking up on me.


I need you to come out here

and help me, Arbuckle.

Right this minute.
Have you considered--

Don't ask me if I've considered

calling a garage


because there are none

around here


and my wallet is in my car

which I can't get into!

Because it's locked!

And besides, the battery

on my cell phone is dying


and we could be cut off

at any min--


I'll be back as soon as

I help Eddie.


The twins are sound asleep

but if they wake up,

keep an eye on them.
And remember--
No monster movies!
I know the drill.

He's probably turning

the monster movies on right now.


[TV show]
In a moment,

we return to our film


The Creature

That Ate Everything.


The first time I heard

of this movie,

I thought it was about me.

[TV show]

Brett! The electricity is out!


But they're telling me

the monster with the tentacles


is nowhere around here.

It's in the basement.

That's what they always

tell you, Lola.


when the monster

with the tentacles is nearby.

It's in the basement.

[TV show]
Yes but

where could it be hiding?


[Garfield, Drusilla, Minerva]

It's in the basement!


Move over, Odie.

Make room for the ladies.

Are you comfy, Drusilla?

No, I'm Minerva.

You're Drusilla.

I think.

[TV show]
Lola!

The creature's coming closer.


And closer. And closer.


Closer. Closer and closer.

[scream]
Get off me!
It's just lighting and thunder.

That's right.

There's nothing to be afraid of.


[Drusilla, Minerva] Unless the creature

with the tentacles is nearby!


Oh, Brett!


There must be some way

to destroy the creature.


There is.


Then tell me!


Tell me, Brett!

Tell us too, Brett!

The only way

to the destroy the creature


is to take a piece of liverwurst


and--


[Garfield] What do we do

with the liverwurst?


The lights all went out,

Minerva?

Or am I Minerva?
I can't tell with the lights out.
Okay, I see. You're Minerva

And we never find out

what to do with the liverwurst.


Let's find some flashlights.

We'd better hurry.


The creature with the tentacles

could be nearby.

And we're all out of liverwurst.

[Eddie Gourmand]

Imagine that!


I had the keys in my pocket

all along

and my car starts right up.
I guess the joke's on me!
On you, yes.
Bye, Arbuckle.
Goodbye, Eddie.

I hope my pets and twins

are all right.


And I hope they aren't up

watching monster movies.

Drusilla?

Do you think the creature with

the tentacles is in this house?

You saw in the movie.

Just before it went

into that home,


all the electricity in the house

went out!

Just like it did here!
Where's Garfield?

Where else would he be?

He's in the kitchen.

I can't open the refrigerator

to get something to eat

while the power's off


or I'll let out the cold

that's in there

and the food will spoil.
I can't microwave anything

because the microwave

won't work.

I can't open a can of anything

because the can opener

is electric.

Odie! We're going to starve!
We're going to starve!
[sobbing]

What a time

to forget my housekey...

And the doorbell's not working.
Who's that?
Maybe it's Uncle Jon.
Uncle Jon has a key.
It must be...

[Drusilla, Minerva]

The creature with the tentacles!

We're going to starve!
[sobbing]
Oh, wait. There's cookies.
Never mind.

[Drusilla]

The creature with the tentacles!


[Minerva]

He's at the front door!

Don't panic!

We need the wagon from down

in the basement.


And leave

the basement door open.


I forgot the spare key

I keep under the welcome mat.


The creature's coming

in the door!


[Jon]

Everyone!

I'm back!

[Drusilla, Minerva]

Uncle Jon!

[falling]

It's not the creature

with the tentacles.


[Drusilla]

It's Uncle Jon!


Odie, I think this would be

a very good time to go to bed.

In another country.

Garfield!

When I get my hands on you--


[Drusilla, Minerva]

Good night, Uncle Jon.


[Garfield]

Good night, Uncle Jon.

Monster with the tentacles...

[voice on the other end]

Hello?


[creature] Marge?

I'm going to skip this house.

I saw what two little girls,

a dog and a cat

did to the owner.

I'll be home before dawn.

Oh, and make sure

there's no liverwurst around.
