- Don't try any of this

At home, kids.

We're professionals.

- So anyway, I said to him--

Oh, hold on,

That fly is back.

I've been trying

To get rid of it all day.

Hold still, I'll get him.

- On guard, mon ami.

You dare to challenge

Sir garfield, the greatest car--

Uh, swords-cat in the kingdom?

I laugh in your homely face.

Ha ha.

Crepe suzettes,

I'm surrounded by

The evil king's forces.

This will require a daring leap.

[ Glass shattering ]

- We musketeers have

A technical term for that.

We call it an oops.

Jon's favorite vase.

To accept the blame

And punishment is the decent,

Honorable thing to do.

But instead,

I'll pin it on odie.

- Garfield, what was that--

My vase!

Odie, did you do this?

[ Whining ]

- Don't deny it.

Only a craven coward

Refuses to admit his mistakes.

This craven coward

Is getting out of here

Until this blows over.

The electric eye pet door,

Isn't science wonderful?

[ Whining ]

- Oh, don't worry, boy.

I have a hunch you
didn't do that,

And even if you did,

It's just a vase.

[ Sneezes ]

- You catching cold, boy?

Maybe we better take you

Down to the vet.

I know you don't like it,

But it's for your own good.

- You know, it was probably

Wrong of me to blame it on odie,

But nermal wasn't around.

I just--

[ Whining ]

- Now, don't fight it.

You're going.

[ Whining ]

- Gee, where's jon taking odie?

You don't suppose--

Nah, not over a vase.

Food maybe, but not over a vase.

- Oh, good thing you've got

Him down here.

Odie's picked up a little bug

That's been going around.

I'll keep him here overnight.

I can drop him off at

Your house tomorrow morning.

- Terrific, liz.

Listen, you know about animals,

How do I get rid of

A fly that's driving me nuts?

- Open a window.

- Open a window.

Great idea, thanks.

- I think being around that cat

Is turning jon's brain

To lasagna.

[ Sneezes ]

[ Fly buzzing ]

- It worked!

I can't wait to tell, liz.

- Odie? Here boy.

That's odd.

Jon must have brought him home.

- I finally got rid of him.

Well, he was such a pest.

That insect will never be

In this house again.

- He did it.

He got rid of odie.

I thought jon liked odie,

But he called him an insect.

This means-- this means--

This means I have the house

To myself now.

Come on, admit it,

You always wanted your own room.

I won't miss odie one bit,

Not one bit.

I'll go right to sleep.

It's just the excitement

Keeping me awake.

Maybe if I count sheep.

One sheep, two sheep,

Three sheep,

Four odies, five odies,

Six--

I don't miss him.

I just need a bedtime snack.

Maybe a ham on rye

And a side of odie.

I can have that chef's salad.

[ Gasps ]

I didn't see that.

Tv, that will get my mind

Off him.

I won't think about him.

I won't.

- Abigail, say you

Will be my bride.

- Yes, nicholas.

I want to have children,

And I want them all

To look just like you.

- Another channel, quick!

- And tonight on our

Late movie, we're featuring--

- Hey kids, it's me,

Binky the clown!

- No! No!

How could you?! How?

You've got to bring odie back.

- I don't know what it is.

I don't want to know.

I just want to sleep.

- How can a man be

So heartless?

I'm sorry, odie.

I didn't mean it.

I'll never see your face again,

Except, of course,

Everywhere I look.

- Oh, hi, liz.

- I'll see odie in my dreams,

Odie in my food.

When I eat soup there'll

Be little odies floating in it.

I am an odieless pussycat.

[ Panting ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Barking ]

- That's right,

An odieless pussycat--

You're back! You're back!

[ Slurping ]

- Well, now at least I can eat.

[ Doorbell ringing ]

- He just had the sniffles,

He'll be fine now.

- Well, it's good

To have odie back,

And I wouldn't be surprised

If garfield missed him a little.

- I changed my mind,

Ship him out.

- Orson has a very bad cold.

- Oh, really?

How bad is it?

[ Sneezes ]

- Oh, I'd say it's pretty bad.

[ Bees buzzing ]

- Good crop of apples, orson.

- Good batch of honey.

Oops.

One of the bees came

Along with the honey.

- A bee? Oh, help!

Do not let it sting my person.

I wound easily.

Help!

- It's so undignified

Acting like that.

- Orson, your brother is here.

- My brothers? Oh, help!

Don't let them play

Badminton with me!

They use me as the shuttlecock.

- Hold it, I said your brother

Is here, not brothers.

Singular, not plural.

Uno brother, just gort.

- But those guys are

Never apart.

- Hi brother.

What? You won't shake my hand?

I suppose you're right.

I was a heel, a crumb, a--

- A rat?

- A rat, thanks.

But I've changed my ways.

I want to move in here.

I don't blame you.

I know how I've been.

- What do you think?

- I think he may be sincere,

Especially since he did go

To the trouble

Of bringing the band.

- Okay, boys, take five.

- I don't want to live

With those nasty brothers

Of mine no more.

Right this minute,

They're trying to steal

Your apples.

- Our apples?

- Unhand those apples,

Rotten brother.

I'll show you how

To get rid of them.

- Oh, phooey,

Our turncoat brother.

- He has turned good

And exposed our plan

To steal apples.

- See, like this, orson.

- We will get you

For this, gort!

- Joining the enemy like this.

- Traitor!

- Gee, I guess you are

On our side now, gort.

You can stay here.

- Oh, joy.

Oh, happiest of days.

- This is almost worse

Than when I was the hockey puck.

- Fool, thy name is orson.

He's still your big,

Bad brother.

- Folks can change, wade.

- Hey, like thaw out, duck.

Give a hog a chance.

- You'll see.

He'll be a valuable helper.

- Now, the important

Thing about baling hay

Is tying a tight bundle

Like this.

- Well, let me try that.

Bale the hay and tie it tight.

How's that? Tight enough?

- That's a little too tight.

- Yeah. Like the garden

Should be plowed in neat rows

Like this, okay?

- I can do that.

I'll show you I can plow

Faster than anyone.

[ Crashing ]

- Like, perhaps I should

Have explained the difference

Between dirt and linoleum.

- I'm going to put gort

In charge of

Guarding the apples.

- Are you out of

Your piggish mind?

Putting your brother

In charge of our apples?

- He deserves a chance.

- Oh, fine.

Later you can give

The fox his chance

To guard the henhouse.

- Your job is to guard

The apples from thieves,

Like our brothers.

- Sure thing.

- Mistake in progress.

Don't trust him, orson.

- Guys, I know what I'm doing.

Here's the key, gort.

- Thanks, brother.

Hey, I got the key.

I got it!

[ Shouting ]

- Got them.

- And I got the runt.

It worked.

[ Laughs ]

- Now we can help ourselves

To all them juicy apples.

Imagine, thinking a crumb

Like me could go good.

You're so-- hey!

This lock won't open.

- Hey, come on.

[ Shouting ]

- Ah, come on.

You don't think I'd give you

The real key, do you?

- Tell us where

The real key is.

- Or else.

- Uh, sure.

It's-- it's in the tub

Of honey over there.

[ Grumbling ]

[ Growls ]

- Hey, there was no key

In there.

[ Growling ]

[ Screaming ]

- Like, un momento, orson.

Pretty shrewd job, but

Like where's the real key?

- Oh, I lost it

A long time ago.

The door was unlocked.

- I told you your brother

Hadn't changed.

- Well, I thought it

Was worth a chance.

Sometimes though, a leopard

Can change its spots.

- A leopard?

Where! Save me!

- And then there are

Those folks who never change.

- And now, brace yourself,

It's time for screaming

With binky.

Those death-defying acrobats,

The amazing schwartzes are

About to try

And set the world's record

For standing on your

Brother's shoulders.

The previous record is

About eight schwartzes.

Here comes schwartz number nine.

He has to hold him

For 10 seconds.

- Hey schwartz!

Hi schwartz! Hi schwartz!

Hi schwartz!

Hi schwartz! Hi schwartz!

Hi schwartz!

Gee, I thought there was

One more schwartz.

- You did it again, bink.

- But the longer people

Live together,

The more they take on one

Another's characteristic.

Well, it's the same with pets.

If you have a pet,

You will slowly grow

To be very much like it.

As you can see, these people

Have all become

Very much like their animals.

- Both: that's ridiculous.

- Take a look at yourself.

Maybe you are becoming

Like your pet.

- Both: this is a dumb show.

Let's go have

A late-night snack.

Not enough sugar.

Time to go to bed.

- No. I'm not starting

To act like garfield.

No. Not like garfield.

I'm not a cat.

- Jon arbuckle dream sequence,

Take one.

- No. No.

Not like garfield, no.

- Jon, the moon is so bright,

And the evening is so romantic.

Could a person ask

For anything more?

- Got any lasagna?

- Arbuckle, these cartoons

You drew are sensational.

I want to publish them and

Pay you millions of dollars.

Would that be

All right with you?

- No. Got any lasagna?

- Jon dear, I made you

Some beef stew,

Turkey, ham, pork chops,

Linguine with clam sauce,

Egg fu yung, yorkshire pudding,

Duck l'orange,

Pastrami burritos,

Chocolate mousse, and iced tea.

Is there anything else

You'd like?

- All right.

All together now.

- Yes, got any lasagna?

- Son, ever since you started

Taking after that cat,

We didn't know what else

To get you for your birthday,

So I got you a flea collar,

And your father got

You your very own sandbox.

[ Crying ]

- Mom, I am not acting

Like garfield.

Oh no! No!

No! No!

I am not taking on garfield's

Characteristics, and tomorrow,

I'm going to see that

Tv doctor

And make certain of it.

I need some hot cocoa

To calm my nerves.

I just have to remind myself

I do not think like garfield.

[ Screams ]

- What's so scary about hot

Cocoa to calm my nerves?

- So he likes lasagna,

And I like lasagna.

That doesn't mean

I'm becoming like him,

Does it doctor?

- Well, what do you think?

- I think we've been doing

Some of the same things lately.

All right.

A lot of the same things.

- Well, there is your answer.

Do things your cat

Would never think of doing.

This will break the chains.

That will be $50.

- Good idea.

I don't people treating me

Like a cat.

- Oh, they won't.

Nice boy. Nice.

- I just have to vary

My activities and do things

Garfield doesn't do,

Like taking up hockey.

That'll prove

We don't think alike.

Garfield, I'm home.

I've taken up a new hobby,

Garfield.

I'm learning h*-- h*-- h*--

- I hope you brought the puck.

[ Screams ]

- Bicycle riding,

What an idea.

Garfield would never take up

Something like this.

[ Crash ]

- There's got to be something

I can do that he wouldn't

Think of.

[ Screams ]

I have to accept it.

I'm thinking like garfield.

There's nothing I can think

Of that he doesn't do.

I've tried everything,

And nothing seems to work.

Work! That's it, work!

Garfield doesn't do that.

- What's he so excited about?

- This is what

Makes us different.

I work and he doesn't. See?

I'm not like garfield,

I'm different.

I'm not acting like a cat!

- That's nothing to brag about.

Boy, just watching jon do that

Makes me tired.

[ Panting ]

- What a silly theory.

Just because you're around a pet

You start acting like them?

I've been around odie for years,

And I haven't started

Acting like him.

Ow.

Imagine if I started

Acting like odie.

What a horrible thing

That would be.

I'd just-- I gotta do

Something different.

Quick!

[ Gasps ]

[ Gasps ]
