- I'm bored.
I'm bored, bored, bored, bored,
Bored, and also bored.
I should control my own destiny.
I'll create an exclusive
Country club resort.
First some sand, then the usual
Resort accoutrements.
- Hmm, I have to call
An emergency meeting
Of the membership committee.

Garfield and friends.

- Eat and be lazy, kids,
And someday you'll have
Your own show, too.
- This looks like a great new
Game you found, garfield.
Six. I move one, two, three,
Four, five, six spaces,
Collect $50 and take a card
And follow instructions on it.
You lose. Your cat gets
Everything in the refrigerator.
[ Burps ]
- Garfield, I'm not wild
About that game.
- If there's anything I can't
Stand, it's a sore loser.
- I'm too tired to go buy more
Groceries, and if I send you,
No food will ever get back here.
I know. Odie!
- Ta-da.
- Odie, I want you to go to
The market for me.
- A move which will henceforth
Be known as mistake number one.
- Just give this list and the
Money to the grocer and he'll
Give you what we need.
Okay, boy?
- Yeah.
- Garfield, let's give
That game another try.
- Four. One, two, three, four.
Take a card.
You lose. Your cat
Gets everything in the cupboard
Where you keep the canned goods
And those little cookies
He likes.
- You mean I win again?
- Your cat gets everything.
Your cat gets everything.
Your cat gets everything.
I should have known.
Your cat gets everything.
Your cat gets everything.
- Hey, dog.
- Huh?
- Yeah, you.
Where you going?
- [ Mumbling ]
- Going to the store?
- Mm-hmm.
- Uh-uh.
- Uh-uh?
- You see my friend, you are
Making a common error.
You are assuming that to buy
Things, you have to go
To a store.
- Huh?
- Stores pay rent and they
Pass their cost on to you,
The consumer.
I, on the other hand,
Pay no rent.
That means lower prices
For you, my friend.
In fact, you're in luck because
Today only we have a special.
This beautiful all nylon
Designer sock is yours for a
Limited time only for the price
Of--uh, for the price of--
Gee, what a coincidence.
That's about right.
- Huh?
- No, don't thank me, my
Friend, just stop in again when
You're in the neighborhood.
- Let's review, odie.
I gave you money and sent you to
The store for eggs, milk,
Bread, diet soda and carrots.
True?
- Uh-huh.
- Instead you return with no
Money and one dirty sock.
Also true?
- Uh-huh.
- Makes perfect sense to me.
- Odie, I've lost all respect
For you.
- [ Whimpers ]
- It's no big deal.
I didn't have that much
To begin with.
What happened, boy?
Even jon can't make stew
Out of this.
- [ Mumbles ]
- There's an easier way
To find out.
Luckily, my favorite show is on.
- We now return to "garfield
And friends."
This beautiful all nylon
Designer sock is yours for a
Limited time only for the price
Of--uh, for the price of--
Gee, what a coincidence.
That's about right.
- Huh?
- This calls for drastic
Action.
I may even have to
Leave the house.
I'll need lots of this
Play money and a disguise.
Where can I find clothes
That make you look like a jerk?
Of course. Where else?
Jon's closet.
Here I come, boy.
I have lots of money, boy.
I'm so stupid.
I hope I don't get taken.
Pigeon approaching.
- Psst. Hey, cat, come here.
- Yah?
- Where you going?
Going to the store?
- Uh-huh.
- Uh-uh.
- Uh-uh? I can't not.
I lost one of my owner's
Favorite socks
And I have to find a replacement
That looks like this.
- Hmm, that is one
Familiar looking sock.
- I borrowed some money
To buy a new one.
Do you think this is enough?
- Stay right there, my friend.
I think I know precisely where
You can find that sock's mate.
[ Whines ]
- Here, boy, hold this.
- Hmm?
- Hey, dog! Where are you,
Doggie? Doggie, where'd you go?
Sorry, my friend.
This sock has been recalled
To the factory
Due to a defective heel.
Here's your money back.
See you around.
- Huh?
- Oh, boy, big bucks
Here I come.
Hey, cat, where'd you go?
I got your sock.
Cat? Cat? Cat?
[ Whines ]
- No, odie, I'm still very
Disappointed in you, losing
The money like that.
I trust you with one job
And you--odie, you got
The money back.
Oh, I'm sorry I doubted you.
I'm going to the store myself
And get the groceries.
- Which you should have done
In the first place.
Come on, I'll teach you
A new game.
Three, four, five.
I win again.
You now own me all your desserts
Until the year 2143.
- Ooh.
[ Door closes ]
- Ah, jon's home.
You know, odie,
No one with any sense
Would trade the grocery money
For an old sock.
- No comment.
- Okay. We're all gonna race
To that tree.
On your marks, get set, go!
- Ha! Eat my dust, you turkeys!
- Well, I guess wade won.
[ Crash ]
- So to speak.
- ™ª friends are there ♪
™ª to help you get started ♪
™ª but once you get started ♪
媻 who needs 'em? 媻
I love that song.
- [ Laughs ] I love it.
I can't wait.
[ Boing ]
Perfecto.
- Hey, I don't know what
He's doing either, folks.
I only know it's trouble.
- Hmm, violets are blue...
Roses are red...
Here comes creamed spinach...
Right on your head!
- [ Laughs ]
That's gonna be great.
Roy, why did you drop 50 pounds
Of creamed spinach on me?
- Because I couldn't find
Any stewed tomatoes!
[ Laughs ]
- I'm going to go shower now.
- Roy, practical jokes
Are not nice.
- They're not supposed
To be nice.
They're supposed to be funny.

- Roy, one of these days
You're gonna be sorry for
Playing your practical jokes.
- You're going to get me
With one?
Well, in case you missed
The song, boobula,
I am too smart for that.
- Bad rooster!
I hope you get him
And get him good.
- Play a big trick on him,
Orson.
- Yeah, he deserves it.
- Hey, what evil, underhanded,
Sneaky, not nice thing are you
Thinking of doing to roy, boy?
- The sneakiest thing
I can do: absolutely nothing.
- h*-hum. No doubt orson is
Planning some amateurish trick
To get even with me.
Some pathetic, feeble jest.
- Hi, roy. Care for
An ice cream cone?
- Sorry, you absolutely
Trickster, you.
- But, roy--
- To think I would fall for
The old hot pepper and chili
Ice cream trick. Why, that's--
- Mm-mmm. Great ice cream,
Orson.
- A taste delight
In every bite.
- How come you dropped yours,
Roy?
- Huh. Well, I guess
He's still planning something.
- Oh, roy, don't use
The bridge!
Some of the boards are cracked!
- Nice try, waller breath, but
I'm not going to fall for it.
- Roy, I'm not going to play
A trick on you.
- Oh, sure. That's what you'd
Like me to believe, then whahmo!
You won't get me, pig. Never!
- Are you going to play
A trick on him?
- I don't have to. He's doing
A terrific job on himself.
- He's got to have something
Real rotten planned.
Boy, I'm thirsty.
Oh, no, you rigged the pump
Didn't you, orson?
I'll go into the barn.
No! You want me to go
Into the barn, don't you?
Probably drop a cow on me
Or something.
I'll stay outside.
No. He wants me to stay outside.
He normally has the outside
Booby trapped.
I'll be okay, just so long as
I don't walk on the ground.
- I'm looking for roy rooster.
- Me?
- Uh, yes. I am your local
Rooster ranger.
I am in charge of seeing
That roosters are assigned
To farms where they are needed.
- Orson in a pathetic
Disguise.
Oh, yes, sir,
Mr. Rooster ranger, sir.
What can I do for you?
- Just wanted to make sure
You're happy on this farm.
- Hey, wade, your friend orson
Came up with an even lamer
Trick that I expected.
Watch how I play along.
- Orson? Where?
- Oh, no, mr. Ranger, sir.
I can't stand it here.
Please, please assign me
Anywhere else.
Send me to the south pole.
- I can't do that.
- But you have to!
[ Crash ]
- Mr. Rooster ranger, send me
To the south pole or I'll cover
You with one coat.
- You get away from me
With that!
- Please, mr. Ranger,
I've been a bad boy.
I deserve to go
To the south pole.
- Now, let's talk this over.
Aah!
[ Splat ]
- Welcome to your waller,
Orson. [ Laughs ]
- Give it up, orson. I was too
Smart to fall for your trick.
- What trick?
- Your dressing up as that
Stupid range...range...ra...
- I'm transferring you
To the south pole for this.
- The south pole?
[ Teeth chatter ]
- No! No! I'll freeze
My feathers!
I won't go! No! No!
- [ Laughs ]
He fell for it.
- It was a trick?
- Orson, I thought you said
You weren't gonna play a trick
On roy.
- I didn't.
- But that doesn't mean...
I wouldn't.
[ All laugh ]
- [ Yawns ]
- Let's see, monday I slept.
Tuesday I slept.
Wednesday I slept,
But yesterday I slept.
That's a full week.
I think I'll take today off.
- What makes you think you can
Just sleep all day?
Oh, no, you're not just going
To sleep all day.
You're going outside.
You're going...out
In the fresh air.
- Fresh air is bad for you.
Bugs fly around in it.
- Stop the car.
This cat
Is what I've been searching for.
Am I right?
- You are right,
Mr. Fettuccine.
- You're just what I'm looking
For to be in my new movie.
I am the great film director
Federico fettuccine.
Bring this cat
To my studio tomorrow morning.
I'm going to film my latest,
Greatest motion picture
Master work!
Am I right?

Mr. Fettuccine.
- See? They know.
- Well, how about that?
Looks like you're going to be
A movie star, garfield.

- Garfield. Garfield.
I said you have
A hard day tomorrow.
You'd better get your sleep.
Look who I'm saying this to.
[ Bell rings ]
- Could we have it quiet?
Quiet on the set!
- Where is my star?
We need fluffy on the set.
- Here's fluffy,
Mr. Fettuccine.
- Now, this will be my
Greatest scene in my greatest
Movie. Am I right?
- You are right,
Mr. Fettuccine.
- In that case, lights!
Camera! Action!
- Oh, gee, fluffy, I have
A feeling something not nice
Is gonna happen.
- Cut! [ Whistle ]
- Stunt cat.
Roll 'em.
- That's a print. Next.
- I consider myself the author
Of all of my movies.
I write them,
I direct and produce them,
Edit then take the film
To the theater
And I make the popcorn.
- The studio tank
Is all ready, mr. Fettuccine.
- This will be my greatest
Scene. Am I right?
- You are right,
Mr. Fettuccine.
- All right. Are you ready?
Never mind. I am ready.
This is enough. Roll 'em!
- Gee, fluffy, I hope that
Mean old shark doesn't find us.
- Cut! [ Whistle ]
- Stunt cat.
Roll 'em!
- That is a mechanical shark,
Isn't it?
- In a federico fettuccine
Film, we only have realism.
Am I right?
- You are right,
Mr. Fettuccine.
- Cut! That is a print! Next!
- This is show business? Aah!
The song is wrong.
Everything about this business
Isn't appealing.
Let's see what
The next scene is.
[ Gasp ]
Well, this calls
For a little rewrite.
- Ha ha! Are we ready
For the next shot?
Where is the stunt cat?
- Pouring honey on your chair.
- Ready? Roll 'em!
- Gee, fluffy, I hope that
Nasty old bear doesn't get us.
- Cut! [ Whistle ]
- Stunt cat!
Roll 'em! Release the bear!
[ Growling ]
[ Sniffs ]
- The cat! Attack the cat!
Help! Help!
I hate actors who ad lib.
You will protect me.
Am I right?
- You are wrong,
Mr. Fettuccine.
- We might as well take lunch.
I believe your cat is fired.
- Well, garfield, there goes
Your big career in the movies
And my money.
[ Whistle ]
- Stunt cat!
- I love show business.
