- And just remember what

You paid to get in.

[ Panting ]

- Shoo, odie!

Leave me alone!

- Garfield?

Bad!

- I didn't do that.

It wasn't me.

[ Groans ]

- This'll be a

Great vacation, guys.

I can't wait to lie in

That florida sun.

- Why spend all this money

To go somewhere else

To sleep and eat?

I can sleep and eat at home.

- May I help you?

- Yes.

We'd like to go to miami.

- Oh, certainly sir.

For $800, you can fly

First class, a wide seat,

A first-run movie

And a filet mignon dinner.

- $800?

What have you got

That's cheaper?

- For $400, you can fly coach.

A cramped seat, a second-run

Movie and a cheeseburger.

- What have you got for $70?

- Fourth class cargo.

We let you squat

In the baggage hold
and eat pretzels while

The stewardess shows you

Her vacation slides.

- Well, that doesn't

Sound terrible.

- Some restrictions apply.

You must fly on groundhog's day

And stay at least six years.

You must dress as a pigeon

And be named larry.

- Well, I guess we can't

Afford to fly to miami, guys.

- Miami? Did I hear someone

Say they want to go to miami?

- Well, we do.

- Al swindler of swindler
discount airlines.

We have a flight leaving

For miami in minutes.

- How much is a ticket?

- How much have you got?

- $70.

- I'll take it, and don't worry.

If this isn't enough to get you

To miami, I'll drop you off

Somewhere in tennessee.

- Mistake in progress!

Jon making big mistake!

Error!

Just because I can't talk,

He never listens to me.

- I'll go rev it up.

Gate 86.

- Well, guys, what do

You think?

- Send us a postcard

If you make it.

[ Barks ]

- Oh, no!

You're both coming with me.

It's perfectly safe.

Flying is the safest way

To travel.

- Does the word walking

Mean anything to you?

- That's gate seven.

We're looking for gate 86.

- I think we should take

A plane to our plane.

[ Panting ]

- This is gate 85, odie,

But where's gate 86?

[ Barks ]

- Last call for flight 13

Now boarding for...

Where'd you say you

Wanna go again?

- There's still time

To back out.

- Come on.

Garfield, what makes you

Think this flight is unsafe?

- Well, for one thing,

When I fly, I like two wings.

- Now let's see. Miami.

There's copenhagen.

Here's denmark.

Hey, wanna go to denmark?

- No!

- That's the last time

I stop at that gas station.

You ready to go?

- Aren't you forgetting

Something important?

- No. I got my parachute.

- The plane has only one wing.

- That's not enough?

- No, it's not enough!

You need two!

- Complain, complain.

You give a guy a bargain

And he gets demanding.

Next thing you know, he'll be

Expecting landing gears.

- We're going to have

A nice flight.

- Who'd he buy this plane from?

Orville or wilbur?

- Good afternoon,

This is your pilot,

Al g. Swindler.

We'll be traveling nonstop

From one end of the airport

To the other

Where we will have

To all get out and push.

And if any of you have

An idea what miami looks like,

Give us a hint, huh?

- Been nice knowing you.

- Pilot to tower,

Do you hear me?

Come in, tower.

Do you hear me?

Oh, nuts!

- Kids, check your tv listings.

Make sure this isn't

The last episode.

- Let's see, takeoff,

Takeoff, takeoff.

It's gotta be here somewhere.

Well, one of these must do it.

- Phew!

Rough takeoff, but things

Seem to be fine now.

- Don't worry, odie,

We'll make it.

- What now?

Oh, I've had it with

This junk heap!

I'm getting outta here!

Some indian's name!

- We're safe.

Nothing could possibly go wrong.

Odie, we're doomed!

- Where's mr. Swindler?

- He stepped out for a minute.

Mayday! Mayday!

Big trouble up here!

Sos!

Here, maybe you'd better

Do this.

I just remembered I can't talk.

- Hello? Anyone there?

We have a problem!

- Problem?

Your shoelace untied

Is a problem!

This is a catastrophe!

- This is the tower.

What seems to be the trouble?

- There's no pilot

And we can't fly this thing

And we're gonna crash!

- Okay, we'll talk you down.

Now put your hand on

The rudder control.

- I don't know what

A rudder control is!

We don't know anything

About planes!

- Rudder control kind of

Looks like a big cannelloni.

- Cannelloni?

That's this one.

- Okay, now you need

Your wing flaps.

They look like ravioli.

Excuse me.

Now the level line in your

Altimeter will look like

Linguini floating in clam sauce.

- Hey, this is easy.

- Now pull back on

The cannelloni

And ease up on your

Veal parmesan.

- Flying's easy when they

Explain it in a way

That makes sense.

- We made it! We're down!

Garfield, you did it!

You landed the plane!

- Yeah, and all that airplane

Talk has made me famished.

- Well, it all turned out

All right.

You thought we wouldn't get

To miami, but here we are!

Here we...

Here we are in miami?

- Yeah, this is your

Basic miami weather.

- Well, then this is where

We're spending our vacation

Because there's nothing

In this world

That can get me back
in an airplane now.

Excuse me.

Can you tell us where
we can find a hotel?

- Certainly, sir!

The swindler motor inn just

A short dogsled right ride away.

[ Shouts ]

- Oh, it's getting tougher

And tougher to make

An honest buck these days.

- Step right up.

All the lemonade you can

Drink for a dime.

- Here you are,

Good merchant, a dime.

- Here you go, ducko.

- More lemonade, please?

- That'll be another dime.

- Your sign says all

You can drink for a dime.

- Well, that's all

You can drink for a dime.

[ Laughs ]

I'll make a fortune.

- Here's our dime.

- Give us all the lemonade

We can drink.

- More! More lemonade!

- From now on,

Truth in advertising.

- What's the weather,

Pluck a feather!

Pigaro,

Pigaro, pigaro, pigaro,

Pigaro, pigaro!

[ Bell ringing ]

- It never fails.

Just when I'm getting ready

To go try and get a date,

The mail comes.

Attention, orson pig,

Please pick up

The white courtesy telephone.

- We have to be on the lookout

For the weasel again, wade.

- The weasel?

Oh, dread!

- Orson pig,

White courtesy telephone.

- I am impressed.

- Yes?

- Mail's in, piggo.

Hey, can't I guy have

A little privacy?

- Oh, worry!

There will be bad news

In the mail for me!

I just know it!

- There's no mail for you, wade.

- No mail?

The news is so bad

They can't even write
and tell me about it?

- No, wait. Here's a letter.

- I knew it! Bad news for me!

- But it's for me.

- But they sent you

My bad news?

- This is odd. It just says;

"The bunny rabbits is coming!"

- The bunny rabbits is coming?

The bunny rabbits is coming?

- Any idea what it means?

- No, but I'm not taking

Any chances!

Help, the bunny rabbits

Is coming!

The bunny rabbits is coming!

- Shouldn't that be

The bunny rabbits are coming?

- The bunny rabbits is coming!

The bunny rabbits is coming!
The bunny rabbits is coming!

Why are you just sitting

There watching television?

Don't you know that

The bunny rabbits is coming?

The bunny rabbits is coming!
The bunny rabbits is coming!

The bunny rabbits is coming!

- I don't care about any

Bunny rabbits.

I'm here for chicken.

Mmm.

Shouldn't that be the bunny

Rabbits are coming?

- Booker! Sheldon!

The bunny rabbits is coming!
The bunny rabbits is coming!

- The bunny rabbits is coming?

- What does that mean, wade?

- I have no idea.

- Then how come

You're afraid of it?

- 'Cause it's safer that way.

My motto is be afraid

Of everything.

Don't take any chances!

The bunny rabbits is coming!

- Shouldn't that be

The bunny rabbits are coming?

Well, ladies, romantic roy

Is here to sweep you off

Your tootsies and...hello?

Anybody home?

Yoo-hoo?

Chickens?

Hey, I wonder if these

Are weasel footprints.

They look like weasel prints,

But I have to make sure.

I was right.

They're weasel prints,

All right.

Help! Weasel!

Weasel's got the chickens!

Orson, the chickens is missing!

- Shouldn't that be

The chickens are missing?

You see, chickens is plural,

So of course, you need

A plural verb.

- Oh, great!

The weasel has the chickens

And you're teaching grammar!

[ Stammers ]

- Weasel?

- Yes, the weasel are here!

- Is here!

- The weasel is here!

- Oh, what is we gonna do?

- We is gonna be sacked

By the weasel!

- Sounds like a plan.

[ Clucking ]

- Orson, do something!

- I'm trying to get out!

- Oh, sack full of woe!

All am lost!

- I'm taking the chickens

And there's nothing

That can stop me.

[ Rumbling ]

- Bye-bye.

[ Clucking ]

- Good work, roy!

[ Chattering ]

- Excuse me, gentlemen.

Have you seen my bunny rabbits?

- They went that way.

- All right.

I hope I gave you ample warning.

Those little fellows

Are a peck of trouble.

- You see, wade?

You weren't on guard

For the weasel
because you were so

Worried about the bunny rabbits.

- The bunny rabbits?

Is they coming back?

- No, they're gone.

- They're gone!

The bunny rabbits is gone!
The bunny rabbits is gone!

- The bunny rabbits are gone!

- Is gone!

- Oh!

- Raisin cookie!

[ Thunder ]

- If jon doesn't hurry up

With the microwave popcorn,

He's gonna miss his dumb

Science fiction movie.

- Reginald, it's--

It's a flying saucer!

- Wait!

Something is coming out of it!

[ Whimpering ]

- There's nothing to be

Afraid of, odie.

If you've seen one slime

Creatures from planet x,

You've seen 'em all.

[ Screams ]

- It's horrible!

- Now comes the close encounter

Of the 53rd kind.

That's where the alien comes

Out of his spaceship

And says "greetings,

People of earth.

We've come in peace.

Now take me to your leader."

- Greetings, people of earth.

We come in peace.

Take me to your leader.

- Outer space creatures

Always say that.

- Here comes the popcorn, boys.

[ Beeping ]

- You wanted the root beer,

Right, garfield?

- Data file entry

On subject planet earth.

- I've changed my mind.

Give me the cola instead.

- Behavioral patterns

Indicate dominant

Intelligent life form

Is an obese, orange-furred

Quadruped.

- Yes, sir, one cola.

- It has master-sl*ve

Relationship with the species

Of grotesque, hairless ape.

[ Screaming ]

- The slime monsters

From planet x!

- We've been tricked!

They've come to conquer

The earth!

- That's what you get

For trusting slime.

[ Burp ]

- And now this word

About luigi's lasagna restaurant

Coming soon to a...

[ Pop ]

- Shucks.

Just when it was getting
to the best part.

- The electricity isn't

Out on the rest of the block.

Something must be wrong

With my fuse box.

[ Gasps ]

[ Odie whimpering ]

- It's an extraterrestrial!

A being from another planet!

- Out of this world.

- Greetings, people of earth.

We come in peace.

Take me to your leader?

- Gee, I guess people

From outer space

Really talk like that, odie.

- Hmm.

- I was attempting

To repolarize the space time

Transmographicator of

My intergalactic conveyance.

- Huh?

- It takes a lot of juice

To jumpstart a flying saucer.

- I will repair the damage.

- Come on in.

While you're here,

My home is your home.

- Hey, your home's

Already my home.

- Thank you.

You are most kind.

- So, what are you doing

In this part of the galaxy?

- My mission is to study earth

For research.

May I look around your dwelling?

- Be my guest.

Make yourself at home.

Garfield, odie,

Isn't this exciting?

In the movies, extraterrestrials

Are always monsters

Or creepy things.

This one is kind of cute.

- If he gets any cuter,

I'm sending him to abu dhabi.

- I'll go down to

The market and get some food.

I wonder what

Extraterrestrials eat?

- Lasagna.

All creatures in the universe

Eat lasagna, or should.

- Obviously, a primitive

Communications device.

I will increase its range.

[ Telephone ringing ]

- Hello?

Is this the mother ship?

- What's an extraterrestrial

Doing on a telephone?

- I made a crash landing

On the planet earth.

It's ripe for conquest!

- He's not phoning for pizza.

- The people will make

Excellent sl*ves for

The galactic empire.

- The evil aliens are coming

Here to conquer the earth!

- I will report my findings

As soon as possible.

To--

[ Coughs ]

To repair my spaceship,

I must create a simple

But powerful lightning rod

Using the electrical components

In this room.

You're obviously

The superior intelligence here.

How do you get these

Lazy creatures to work?

- It's very difficult.

I don't know why

I keep this one around.

- Huh?

- Hold on!

I can make that thing

Lighter for you.

- My, you consume

Large quantities of food.

- Oh, that's a small snack.

I get hungry with only


- 12 Meals?

Do all earth creatures

Eat like you?

- Uh-uh.

- The bigger ones eat more.

In fact, they're always eating

When they're not sleeping.

- Well, how much do you sleep?

- Oh, 14 or 15 hours a day,

Except on sundays

When I sleep in.

- sl*ves who eat and sleep

Like this are not much good.

I must test to see

If he tells the truth.

The energy probe will

Tell me if this creature

Really eats and sleeps

As much as he says.

Oh! More than that!

Earth people

Are no use as sl*ves!

I must leave here at once!

- What happened?

Where are all my appliances?

The refrigerator?

The stove? Garfield?

What's going on?

- Move it, sl*ve.

Lightning will strike

Any minute!

- Goodbye.

[ Barks ]

- I just saved the entire planet

And no one will ever know.

- Attention, mother ship!

Earth is a waste of time!

People eat too much

And they're too lazy!

- Mail's here.

It's all bills.

- Thanks, garfield.

You know, I miss that

Cute little extraterrestrial.

Here's the phone bill.

What's this?

I can't pay this!

Why are my long distance

Calls measured in light years?

- Hmmm, your cute

Little extraterrestrial

Must have phoned home.
