- Okay,
- Okay, odie.
Let's see if you're worthy
Of being the caped avenger's
High-performance mode
Of transportation.
- Hmm hmm hmm.
- Go.
Faster.
Faster. Faster.
All right, now, stop.
Seatbelt--the caped avenger
Needs a seatbelt.
- Ladies and gentlemen,
Garfield and friends.

- Hey you, the kid
Who missed last week's show,
You better have a good excuse.
- In bed on a beautiful day
Like this?
- I believe in letting
The fates guide my life.
- Sleep, eat, sleep, eat,
Sleep, eat, sleep, eat, sleep,
Eat, sleep, eat, sleep.
- See? Fate.
Some people don't believe
In fate.
What else can go wrong today?
- Well, ask
A bonehead question.
You want me to throw the ball?
- Uh-huh.
- And then you'll go fetch it
And bring it back to
me to throw again?
- Uh-huh, uh-huh.
- And we'll do this all day
Back and forth, back and forth?
- Uh-huh, uh-huh.
- There. That ought to
Keep you busy for a while.
All that work made me hungry.
I need food.
Pie is food.
Excuse me, I believe
You have my pie.
Please return it.
- What did you say?
- I said...
- [ Growling ]
- ...enjoy the pie.
- See you around, cat.
- Gee, that wasn't fair.
I stole that pie first.
- Garfield!
Garfield, are you all right?
- Auntie em, auntie em,
Are we still in kansas?
- Garfield?
- [ Whining ]
- Odie, fetch me the
Special garfield first aid kit.
- [ Barks ]
- Garfield? Who's garfield?
- Here, the first aid kit
Has a delicious lasagna in it.
- Lasagna? Take it away.
Too many calories,
And cholesterol.
How about a nice salad
With low calorie dressing?
Boy, I'm overweight,
And this fur coat I'm wearing
Is pretty shabby.
- Something's wrong, odie.
Something's terribly wrong.
- [ Barks ]
- Apart from the bump
On his head,
He seems to be in fine shape.
What makes you think
He's lost his memory?
- He won't eat. He won't sleep.
He doesn't beat up on odie
Or claw the furniture.
- And you want me
To restore his memory?
- Uh, let me think about this
For a second.
- [ Barks ]
- You're right, odie.
We want our
Old friend garfield back.
- Well, it may just wear off,
Or something familiar may
Jog him back to his old self.
- Are you sure I'm not due
For my shots?
- Okay. Remember, odie,
We have to remind garfield
Of who he is. Oh, garfield.
- Why do you keep
Calling me that?
- Look! Odie is on the edge
Of the table.
It would be so mean
If someone were to shove odie
Off that table.
- Say no more.
I know what to do.
- [ Chuckling ] it's working.
Shoving odie off the table
Is garfield's favorite sport.
He's going to do it.
- You shouldn't stand
Near the edge like that, puppy.
Safety first.
- Slurp him, odie.
You know how garfield
Hates that.
- Yeah, yeah.
- [ Laughing ]
That's nice of you, doggie.
You're so sweet.
- Hmm?
- Uh, wouldn't you like a nap?
- In the middle of the day?
- [ Whining ]
- I'm not giving up, odie.
I know how
To restore his memory.
I thought you might be hungry,
So I whipped up a little snack.
- I wonder what army
Is coming by to eat
All that fattening food?
But I'm not hungry.
I'll just have
Some of these raisins.
- Here. At least take
This lasagna.
- This strange person
Obviously went to a lot
Of trouble, so I don't want to
Hurt his feelings.
I'll take a walk
And maybe I'll find
Someone to give it to.
Hello, mister mailman,
Such a dedicated hard worker.
Why is everyone
Acting so strangely,
And why do they keep
Calling me garfield?
It's such a dumb name.
- [ Laughing ]
Thanks, cat.
- You're quite welcome. Enjoy.
- [ Laughing ] I'm welcome?
What do you mean, I'm welcome?
I just took your lasagna.
- And you're quite welcome
To it. Eat hearty.
- Why? What's wrong
With this stuff?
Oh, no.
This has got to be
A trick or something.
- But I want you to have it.
- Oh, no. Not a chance.
You take it.
- No, please. I insist.
- No way. Keep your lasagna.
- But I don't want it
Going to waste.
- That cat's up to something.
- Come back here
And eat my lasagna.
- Ah! I'm trapped.
- Now are you going to
Eat this lasagna yourself,
Or do I have to feed you?
- No, please.
Don't make me eat your lasagna.
I'm sorry I mistreated you.
I'll never do it again.
- I can't stand
Seeing food wasted.
- We may have to
Face it, odie.
Our friend garfield
Is gone forever.
- [ Whining ]
- Please, please,
You've got to eat lasagna,
Please.
He's eating!
He's eating lasagna!
Garfield, are you really acting
Like garfield again?
- Ahh!
- It's good
To have garfield back.
- Hey, I don't understand it,
But sometimes...
You don't ask questions.
- You won't get away
From me, worm.
Oh, hiding in the ground, huh?
Well, that won't do you
Any good.
I'm coming after you, worm!
Hey, you can't do this
To me! Hey!
Oh, this couldn't be any worse.
- Step right up.
Kiss a chicken, only one dollar.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
- Dear diary, well,
Things have not been
Peaceful around here lately.
Oh, some things never change.
Wade, for instance.
- I am not afraid of you.
You think I am a coward,
But I laugh in your very face.
Ha and ha again.
I will squish you
Like the bug you are, bug.
- Boo.
- I was just minding
My own business.
- Help! Rescue me!
Save me from whatever
I need saving from!
- Why is everyone
Acting so weird?
Lanolin's in a bad mood today.
- How can you tell?
- How could I tell?
Well, it was pretty obvious
To everyone.
- Get out of my way. Ahh!
- She didn't seem
To like anyone very much,
Especially her brother, bo.
- You locked bo
Out in the rain?
Well, I guess a little rain
Won't hurt him.
- Ah, you don't know bo.
His wool has a tendency
To shrink.
- Wade helped bo to dry up.
- There, all dry.
- Like muchas gracias, duck.
My sis has been high
On the pain index lately.
- She sure had been.
The next day we thought
She'd gotten over it.
- I'm knitting you
A sweater, booker.
- Well, that's nice of you,
Lanolin, but where'd
You get the yarn?
- Oh, I found some.
- Mostly though,
She was just plain disagreeable.
- You sure disagree a lot.
- I do not.
- See, you just
disagreed with me.
- No, I didn't.
- Okay. Have it your way,
Like you didn't
disagree with me.
- Yes, I did.
- Do you, or do you not,
Disagree with me?
- What do you think?
- Like, I think you disagree
With me a lot.
- Well, you're wrong.
I never disagree with you,
So there.
- This kind of thing went on
All day and all night.
- I'm not sleepy.
Maybe I'll count people
Till I doze off.
- You're absolutely wrong.
- I wasn't thinking
About anything.
- That's what you're
Absolutely wrong about.
- Eventually, bo started
To get the idea that maybe
His sister must not
Want him around, and bo--
Well, bo's a pretty
Easy going guy.
He figured if she doesn't
Want me around, well, then,
I won't be around.
Simple as that.
He went way up in the hills,
Up to the old abandoned cabin.
Oh, wait, I left something out.
Before he left,
He wrote a note just saying,
Since my sister doesn't
Want me around,
I'm moving away.
Then he left.
And an hour or three later,
Lanolin found the note.
She was pretty broken up
About it.
- So what.
- Oh, she tried to pretend
Like she wasn't.
- Hi lanolin.
- It's not my fault
He moved away.
Don't blame me. It was his idea.
- I guess the trouble
With being a crab is,
That the image is so hard
To maintain.
- Your turn.
- You miss him, don't you?
- No.
- Anyone who says no like that
Usually means yes.
A week after bo moved away,
The wind arrived,
A pretty fierce wind.
- Booker, sheldon,
To the cellar!
- The--the radio says it's
The biggest storm of the year.
- We'll be safe in hear.
- But bo is up in the hills,
And that old shack won't last
Out this storm.
- You can't go out there now.
- One side, pig.
- There was no stopping her.
I couldn't, and I had a feeling
The storm couldn't either.
- Come back to the farm!
- You really don't want me
Back there, sis.
- She told him about
The storm, but you know bo.
He wasn't about to let
A little thing like wind
Bother him.
He said the only we'd come back
Was if lanolin
Really missed him.
- ...really miss me.
- Are you serious about this?
I miss you.
- What?
- I miss you, all right?
- Well, those were
The magic words.
They got out just in time.
A few moments later,
The storm kicked up
And the cabin was gone
With the wind.
She got him back just before
The whole brunt
Of the storm hit.
- So you miss me, huh, sis?
- I didn't--ah.

- It was pretty happy
Down in that cellar
While the storm was
Passing outside.
And now the storm's gone,
And bo's back,
And everything is almost
Back to normal.
- I didn't really say
I missed you.
- I heard you.
- No, you didn't.
- Yes, I did.
- Didn't. - Did.
- Didn't.
- Did did did did did.

Everything is back to normal.

- All right.
It snowed last night.
I love the first snow
Of the year. Whoa!
I still love
The first snow of the year.
- Enjoy the snow, garfield?
- Okay.
I'm ready for summer now.
- Dinner time, garfield.
- Food.
- I ran out
Of your regular cat food,
So I bought you the dried kind.
I'm sure you know
What to do with it.
- I certainly do.
- Whoa!
Enjoying your cat food,
Garfield?
- We must have it more often.
- [ Humming ]
- Ha ha, what luck.
I can take a vacation.
Hey, pal, if you're
Selling stuff,
Try that house.
They'll buy anything.
[ Laughing ]
- Garfield.
- You slammed?
- What did you buy this time?
What useless, overpriced piece
Of junk did you spend
My money on?
A life-size statue
Of leonardo da vinci
Made out of elbow macaroni?
- Don't tell me,
You already have one?
- Garfield, you have to
Stop buying everything you see.
Look what you bought this week,
An indoor plastic bird bath,
A 27-year supply
Of dental floss,
A battery-operated
Battery changer that's only good
For changing it's own batteries.
- It was on sale.
- No more. Do you understand?
No more.
Now, I'm going out again.
If you buy one thing
While I'm gone,
No lasagna
For the rest of your life.
- The rest of my life?
Without lasagna
That could be like tomorrow.
I'd better do something
Positive and constructive.
I'll watch television.
Let's see what's on cable.
Hmm, the old'
How to prepare potatoes channel.
- Shoestring, cottage fried,
Boiled, salad, mashed.
- Hey, this is worth
$79.95 a month, isn't it?
- Chipped on toast.
- I'll try the old
Snail racing channel.
- And they're off.
Well, I think they're off.
Yes. It looks like
Wet driveway is pulling
Into the lead.
They're neck and neck.
These guys have necks?
Wet driveway is out
To break his previous record
Of 3 weeks, 27 days
And 6 hours
In the 18-inch slime trail.
- I'll try the
All buying stuff channel.
- We're back, dear friends.
We're brought magnificent,
Marvelous merchandise
For you to buy, buy, buy.
Yes, yes, yes.
Our next item is this,
A deluxe, chrome-plated,
Large-capacity, hand inlaid.
Designer model,
Laser-powered,
Elephant repeller.
- Gee, I don't have
One of those.
- Phone now.
Operators are standing by
To take your mo--
Your call.
- If you buy one thing
While I'm gone,
No lasagna
For the rest of your life.
- I wonder if jon was serious.
- I'm serious.
- Ahh.
- And remember,
The first 20 callers
Get their elephant repeller
Absolutely free,
Plus I will deliver
Every one in person.
- Free?
- Okay, okay.
I'm at that customer's house.
Just wait.
I'll land the sale
Of the century.
- [ Doorbell rings ]
- Hello, hello, hello.
Herbert finagle here,
President of finagle marketing.
Who is this person
Who ordered
The free elephant repeller?
- You're looking at him fellow.
- A cat.
Well, why not a cat?
I'm a great salesman after all.
Hello, little pussycat.
I have your free
Elephant repeller here.
It's absolutely totally free,
Except the $2 handling charge,
The $5 delivery charge,
The $9 restocking charge.
Let's see,
You only owe me $28. Okay?
- Not okay.
I've got to stay away
From salesmen like that.
- Hash browned, julienned,
French fried, o'brien.
- And this race
Is really getting exciting.
- I never take no
For an answer,
Especially from a cat.
- This snail race is even more
Exciting than last year's
Seven-inch tortoise dash.
- Gee, this is
Kind of interesting.
- Excuse me, sir.
Have you ever considered
The clear and present danger
Of being caught
In an elephant stampede?
You see?
Now, if I had been an elephant,
Well, you could have gotten rid
Of me with your
Elephant repeller.
- I have to hide from him.
- You know,
There are advantages
To a good elephant repeller.
- I wish I had
A salesman repeller.
- It comes with
A great guarantee.
- I'll hide
Down in the basement.
He'll never find me down here.
- If this elephant repeller
Doesn't work,
We pay you 1,000 bucks
- All right. All right.
Enough. I'll buy it.
- Garfield, what piece of junk
Have you bought this time?
- It's a laser-powered
Elephant repeller,
The best one made.
- There isn't an elephant
Within a thousand miles
Of here.
- You see how good it works?
As I was saying,
The guarantee is that
If this device
Doesn't keep elephants away,
We pay you $1,000. Bye now.
- Garfield.
- Oh, you're some salesman,
Herby, and that guarantee
Always gets them.
Imagine, elephants around here.
- [ Elephant trumpet sound ]
It can't be.
No. No.
- Hey, mr. Salesman,
About that guarantee of yours.
- No. No. I don't believe it.
No! No! No! No!
- Hey, I don't
Believe it either,
But with a thousand bucks
I can buy that microwave
Cheese straightener.
