- Good
- Good evening,
- Good evening, ladies
- Good evening, ladies and
- Good evengerms.adies and
I just flew in from the coast
And boy, are my paws tired.
Ha ha.
My car is so old
It's insured against fire
And theft and dinosaur stampede.
Ha, but I wanna tell you--
Take my dog, please.
- It must have been one
Of your better nights.
- I was in rare form.
- Ladies and gentlemen,
Garfield and friends.
- Friends are there
- To help you get started,
To give you a push on your way
- Friends are there
- To turn you around,
Get your feet on the ground
For a brand new day
- They'll pick you up
When you're down
- Help you swallow your pride
When something inside says
To break on through
To the other side.
- Friends are someone
You can open up to
- When you feel like
You're ready to flip
- When you've got
The world on your shoulders
- Friends are there
To give you a tip
- Friends are there
When you need them,
They're even there
When you don't
- For a walk in the park
Or a shot in the dark,
Friends are there
- I don't care
- But friends will care
For you
- A funny thing happened to me
On my way to my cartoon show.
- And if you step this way,
Folks, we'll continue with
Our tour of the cat museum.
Now this wing honours some
Of the true heroes of cat-dom.
This is
Dr. E. Leopold witsnitsky.
This man wasted over
$6 Million
Trying to perfect an inflatable
Scratching post.
Dumb.
And this exhibit honours
Buttons, the cat who set the
World's horse swallowing record
When he successfully swallowed
One horse.
Tied for second place is
Everyone else in
The entire world.
And that's the klopman diamond.
But what I really wanna
Show you is out here.
This lake is very important
In the history of cats.
There's a legend associated
With this lake
If you'd like to hear it.
[ Groans ]
- Good, I'll tell it.
[ Clears throat ]
The legend of the lake.
In verse no less.
A couple thousand years ago
Or maybe even more,
A band of prehistoric cats
Was living on this shore.
They were a savage breed of cat
You'd never wanna meet
And what really
Made them savage was
The food they had to eat.
For breakfast
They would dine on mud,
For lunch
A rock or two.
And dinnertime was quite a
Treat when serving guppy stew.
[ Slurps ]
Each night they eat
Alleged food
Then celebrate and dance
But one was just
Not satisfied to dine
On rocks and ants,
A handsome hungry cat
Was he, and truly a gourmet
Who knew the food he wanted
And he'd dream of it all day.
For far across the waters
Was an island lush
And green and every day
He looked again to drool
At what he'd seen.
For growing on this isle
Were the famed lasagna trees,
A site to bring a feline
Who is starving to his knees.
But sadly the lasagna trees
Were miles out of reach
And guarded by a band
Of wild puppies on the beach.
The other cats attempted
To drive sense into his head.
To make it to the island
Was impossible they said
But every night
Lasagna trees were present
In his dream
And finally he knew
He had to figure out a scheme.
So come the dawn he built
A sturdy boat within his cave
To take him to the land
Of all the pasta he could crave.
His girlfriend said,
You cannot make this trip.
I will not let you.
If by some chance you get across
The puppy dogs will get you.
He said, I'm sick of eating
Only mud and rocks and guppies,
No lake will keep me
From my dream
And neither will some puppies.
And so with just his bark canoe,
Some courage and a smile,
He launched into the water
And set out for the isle.
No lake would stop our hero
From the food that he did seek,
No obstacle could stop him,
Well, perhaps a little leak.
The ship had started sinking
When he gave a little shout.
[ Yells ]
He quickly drilled another
Hole to let the water out.
[ Gasps ]
- But that did not
Dissuade him,
Not one moment at a loss,
He built a catapult designed
To hurl him right across.
A slight miscalculation
In his blueprints
Was to blame, he figured out
The whole thing but
Neglected first to aim.
Give up, the other cats
All cried and though
Their voice was heard
He didn't heed their warning.
He would fly there like a bird.
At first the wings
Just wouldn't work
And then it seemed they might,
The trouble was he hadn't tied
The wings on very tight.
It was, I guess, a brave thing
And a most courageous try
But cats, he had forgotten
Were never meant to fly.
For days he thought
And thought and thought
And thought and thought and
Thought.
He'd look out at the island
And he'd feel most distraught
For there was
The lasagna blooming
In the sun to bake
And blocking him
The puppies and, oh, yeah,
The lovely lake.
He would not be defeated,
Let a lake stand in the way,
He vowed that he would feast
On fresh lasagna plants today.
He wouldn't jump or sail or
Attempt to even try,
He'd swim to reach
That island or
He'd perish in the try.
He swam with all his might
To reach the island
In the distance,
The other cats could only watch
And marvel at persistence,
He swam as hard as
He could swim
To reach the other side.
He might not reach the lasagna
But at least he'd know he tried.
He swam for seven hours till
He'd swum his final stroke.
[ Gasp ]
- Waves washed him
Onto the shore
Which is where he awoke,
Excitedly he realized it
Had been worth the chance.
He'd made it to the island
Where there grow
Lasagna plants.
You've never in your life
Seen such a happy, happy beast,
No puppy dog
Would keep this kitty
From his pasta feast.
[ Pants ]
- He swam across the lake
But what he didn't realize
Was prehistoric puppy dogs
Were five whole times his size.
[ Slurp ]
[ Barks ]
- Pursued by giant puppies,
There was one course
He could take,
Though all his strength
Had brought him here,
He dove into the lake.
[ Whimpers ]
- He never more was seen again,
He vanished in his swim
And so to mark his memory
They named this lake for him.
They called it lake stupid.
The end.
- Roy, you shouldn't
Eat that corn so close
To the stove when it's on.
- Oh, stow it, pig-o.
What do you know?
[ Popping ]
- I know it's popcorn.
- You're always under cover,
There's no one you can trust,
When you're the world's
Best secret spy,
Danger is a must.
Around every corner,
Something threatening
May await,
But your feeling
Says danger lies ahead,
But is it trouble or
Something you ate?
You always have to work alone
When you're a fearless spy,
There's just you,
Your trench coat
And your 357
Magnum cream pie.
- Hey, orson, where are you?
Hey, orson?
- Wanna hunt worms with us,
Pork-o?
- Worms, uh, gee,
I don't think so.
I'm reading a great spy novel
And lanolin made me
A pie for lunch.
- But we need you.
You're the only one
With enough tonnage
To scare them up where
We can catch them.
- Sorry.
- What does he see in that spy
Novel stuff anyway?
- Booker, it's not
What he sees it's who he sees.
To orson, books are
The worm hunt
Of the imagination.
- Heavy, sheldon, very heavy.
- Meanwhile at
Agency headquarters.
- I say w, are you here, man?
- Shh!
Be careful double-o orson,
I had the place swept
For bugs an hour ago
But you never know.
- Good idea.
You don't want
Listening devices around.
- Who cares about
Listening devices?
I don't want bugs around.
Yicko-paticko.
Pour yourself a soda pop
And sit down, me lad.
I suppose you're wondering
Why I called you here?
- Not really i--oops!
- Be careful agent 00 orson.
- Calm down w, I have
A license to spill.
- Oh, that's right.
Well, as you know last week
Our top secret,
Highly experimental
Thermonuclear exploding
Grelbin device was stolen,
Agent double-o bo
Was assigned to find it.
Now he's disappeared.
- Hmm.
- His last communication was
From the casino de barnyard.
This is the work
Of your lifelong enemy
Pin feather. A bug!
Hurry!
Double-o orson!
The enemy is everywhere!
Try to bug my office, will you?
Take that!
You foul interloper!
- This way, mr. Orson, sir.
Mr. Pinfeather has been
Expecting you.
- This could be a trap.
We meet again.
- So we do monsieur.
Oh, garcon.
- Chocolate milk,
Shaken not stirred.
- Allow me to introduce
My lovely dining companion
The countess lanolin.
- I see you have a license
To thrill.
I thought I had you
The last time, pinfeather.
- You almost did but I managed
To escape by convincing
The police that I was only
A circus performer
Wearing a chicken suit.
I have a license to shill.
- Now you've stolen the top
Secret, highly experimental,
Thermonuclear exploding
Grelbin device.
- I suppose you have proof
That I stole the top secret,
Highly experimental,
Thermonuclear exploding
Grelbin device?
- I might.
- In that case, I will have
To get rid of you.
- Hey!
[ Laughs ]
- It pays to be well-dressed.
- Let go of me!
I loath you!
I hate you.
I'm finding your repulsive.
- Don't try to sweet talk me.
- Ha!
Now to find pinfeather.
- Attention double-o orson,
This is w.
Pinfeather has fled
To his secret hideout.
- I read you w, over and out.
[ Footsteps ]
- Follow me, double-o orson.
- Why should I trust you?
- Because double-o bo is
My brother and I think I know
Where he's being held!
- Well, take me to him.
- He's being held prisoner
Down here somewhere.
The top secret, highly
Experimental, thermonuclear,
Exploding grelbin device
Is in here, too.
- The top secret, highly
Experimental, thermonuclear,
Exploding grelbin device
Is here?
[ Banging ]
- Oh, no!
That's my brother, I know it!
[ Banging continues ]
- Double-o bo,
Are you in there?
[ Teeth chatters ]
- Hey, I didn't know
That pin feather
Had a license to chill, man!
Hurry double-o orson,
He's triggered the top secret,
Highly experimental
Whatchamacallit!
It's hidden down here somewhere
And it's set to go off,
Like, any minute, man!
- Where could
He have hidden it?
- Where's the rest
Of the worms, roy?
What a dirty trick!
I know we caught more worms
Than this!
We demand a recount!
- Huh?
- I divided them evenly.
Yours probably
Just crawled away
When we weren't looking.
- I've got it!
The top secret, highly
Experimental, thermonuclear,
Exploding grelbin device
Is in the milk can!
You won't get away
With this one, pinfeather.
- Pinfeather?
- Everybody hit the dirt.
- There's the rest
Of our worms.
- Roy hid them in the milk can.
[ Worms laugh ]
- You won't get away from me!
- You'll pay for
Your evil deeds, pinfeather!
- Hey, I just swiped
A couple of worms.
Orson, don't look at me
Like that!
I'm sorry I stole the worms.
- You'll pay for trying
To conquer the world,
You master villain!
- Orson's caught up
In a book again.
- Truth is stranger
Than fiction.
- And orson is
Stranger than anyone!
[ Snoring ]
[ Yawns ]
[ Door slams ]
[ Pants ]
- Ahem! Excuse me!
Cat craving breakfast.
Yoo-hoo, flapjack shortage.
Serious lack of pancakes here.
Attention, mission control.
This place appears to be
Self-service this morning.
See if I leave him a tip.
[ Yells ]
- It's empty!
And I didn't empty it!
Call the police, get them
To issue a 708,
Unlawful defrosting.
Help!
- Garfield,
Stop kidding around.
It's time for
My favourite t.v. Show.
- He's not giving this
Situation the seriousness
It deserves.
- And now it's time
For the pharaoh
Of fitness, rick deltoid.
- All right, okay, men
And women, here we go.
Time to tone up your torsos.
- One, two, one, two,
One, two, one, two.
Garfield, how about exercising
Along with me?
- Not for all the lasagna
In italy.
- For a real workout,
Come down to my gym
Rick deltoid's world of sweat.
You might be slightly flabby
When you walk in
But I guarantee
You'll crawl out
In magnificent shape.
- I cleaned out
The refrigerator because of
His health food advice.
- That's a felony
In some states, you know.
[ Groans ]
- I think we should go
To his gym.
- We? As in more than just you?
As in jon and garfield?
That we?
- Come on!
You gotta get in shape!
- I am in shape,
Round is a shape.
I'm not going and that's that.
- Okay, men--i mean,
Man and a cat.
Say that is a cat, isn't it?
Looks more like a mattress
With whiskers.
[ Snickers ]
- I hate a guy whose i.q.
Is smaller than his waist.
- Okay. First lets give you
A protein smoothie.
We add wheat germ, yogurt,
Asparagus, raisins,
Cod liver oil,
Organically grown mud,
Green stuff
And refried soybeans.
Mix gingerly.
[ Whirs ]
- Here, just drink it down.
[ Gulps ]
- No way!
- Come on.
- Not a chance.
- Let's go.
[ Gulps ]
- One moment, please.
Yuck! Ick! Ah!
Gah!
Not bad, could use
A little lemon.
- Now, time for my special
Intensive care routine,
You need anything?
- A stunt man.
- Let's workout.
Before we get through
We'll have you pulling
- Not with my teeth, you won't.
[ Boat motor ]
- All right, let's see how
You're making out in here.
- Well, the franks are almost
Done but the steam
Is just ruining my hair.
[ Pants ]
- Whoa!
- I'd like all 32 flavours on
A sugar cone piled up
In alphabetical order, please.
[ Crunches ]
- Ah, nuts?
- Okay, I have to go do
My afternoon t.v. Show.
Go home and watch it.
- Yes, sir, mr. Deltoid.
I wanna get in shape
Just like you.
I'll do what you say
And eat what you tell me.
- Oh, no, I'll never get
A decent meal as long
As jon listens
To bonehead the barbarian here.
- Bye, mr. Deltoid,
Let's jog home then
I'll whip up
A health food feast.
- This calls
For drastic action.
- There's mr. Deltoid's
Car, garfield.
Garfield?
Garfield! Where are you?
- Go home and watch his show.
This is one you won't wanna
Miss.
- Afternoon, mr. Deltoid.
- All right, listen,
Do you have the cue cards
Ready for my broadcast?
- The ink's drying on them.
They're out in the alley
In back.
- These are the cards
He reads during the show
And there are cue cards
Left over from other shows.
This one's from a cooking show.
This one's
From binky's birthday bash.
Okay, the game is cue card
Rummy, I deal.
- Look, we go on
The air in 30 seconds.
I need those cue cards.
- Right away, mr. Deltoid.
- Wait a minute, where are
Mr. Deltoid's cue cards?
Whew! Here they are.
- Well, this should
Be interesting.
- And now it's time for
The sultan of sit-ups,
Rick deltoid.
- Okay, thank you very much.
I'm going to teach you
A great exercise.
I want everyone to
Uh, honk like a goose
And wave their wings
In the sun.
Here we go.
[ Honks ]
- That's a card left over
From a wildlife documentary.
- Okay, the important thing
Is to dress well
In a basic black outfit
With matching pearl ensemble.
Now, do the binky dance.
Hop on one foot
And rub your tummy.
Hey, kids, yahoo!
Now, let's eat pizza!
Lots!
Boy, it's been so long
Since I had a good pizza
And french fries.
- Deltoid, this is the worst
Exercise show I've ever seen!
You're fired!
- Gee, that was, kind of,
Unfair of them canceling him
Like that.
I mean, they don't believe folks
At home actually did
All that stuff
He read off the card.
People aren't so dumb
They do whatever t.v.
Tells them to.
[ Honking ]
- Most folks aren't.
Are you?
[ Honking continues ]
