Garfield Page #5

- Uh, what?

- You can't blame me for that.

- Any one of us could be next.

- Yeah.

There's no room for anybody else

in Garfield's world.

Huh? Oh, that's

a little dramatic.

Well, I may have been a little tough

about protecting my turf...

but, uh,

I don't hate the guy.

I understand Happy

has a big surprise for us.

A special treat.

What have you got for us, Hap?

Ah, guten Morgen, Chris.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have been working

with a very special new friend...

and I would like

to introduce him to all of you.

Odieschnitzel!

Lookee here!

It's Odie!

And he's safe and sound.

Although, he seems to have found

an alternative lifestyle.

He still can't dance.

Well, this gets me off the hook

with Jon and the gang.

- Now I'm gonna be the hero.

- [Mello] That's one talented dog.

Oh, I'm glad you think so, Chris,

because I have a little announcement to make.

Old Happy Chapman

and Odieschnitzel...

are going to be climbing aboard

that New Amsterdam Limited at 3:00 p. M...

bound to New York City,

where we have the opportunity...

to be regular contributors

on Good Day, New York.

Huh? That's his last name...

Schnitzel?

Thank you for all your help yesterday.

You were... You were great.

Jon, Odie's on TV,

and he's wearing lederhosen.

L-I'm sorry.

Garfield, not now.

Um, I upped the reward

to, um, $200.

And, uh, I'm going to put up

some more posters tomorrow.

He's clog dancing, I think,

wearing lederhosen.

I'm sorry.

Garfield, not now.

- Oh, you're gonna miss it.

- I'm sorry, Liz. I'll call you later.

Garfield's

being... Garfield.

Do I have to bark

like Lassie?

Come on.

Humor me, would ya?

Arf! Arf! Arf!

Quickly!

While we're young.

Today! Let's go!

[Both]

Be happy.

Oh, you're gonna miss this. He's the small one.

The small one in the guy's hand.

[Garfield Groans]

Garfield, I'm not in the mood.

You know, it's never good

when you turn off my TV.

And this may be

the worst ever.

[Wendell]

Odie's not ready.

H-He's months of positive reinforcement

away from consistently performing.

Happy, you promised

you'd never use that.

I mean, that collar

is inhumane.

This collar...

is the dog's future.

Do you have a problem

with that?

- No.

- No.

Now we'll see how smart

you really are.

Happy Chapman. Happy Chapman.

Happy Chapman.

Not now, Garfield.

Jon, you're denser

than ever.

- [Door Opens]

- I gotta think outside the box here.

- [Door Closes]

- Hey, the box!

Wait a second.

My box... My box

had something on it.

Let's see. AppleJacks.

Frosted Flakes. Cocoa Puffs.

Kibbly Kat.

Yes, there it is.

Telegraph Tower. That's where they make

The Happy Chapman Show.

Yeah. But how far away

can that be?

Maybe...

Hmm, a paw?

Apaw and a half maybe.

This is a done deal. I can do this.

[Panting]

No!

Can't do this.

Reached physical limits.

Shouldn't have tried it

without snacks.

Must go back and reload.

- [Applause]

- Jenny, how are you? Welcome to the show.

Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!

- [Applause]

- Mmm. Mmm.

Mmm.

[Burps]

Ah, and that's the sign

that the tank is full.

I can do this. Beyond this intersection

is just another intersection.

And another and another.

On the other hand, I wonder if there's

any meat loafleft in the fridge.

No. Now's not the time

for a plate of meat loaf.

Now's the time

for a plate of courage.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Garfield has left the cul-de-sac.

? He is trampling out

the vintage where the grapes

of wrath are stored?

- ? He has...??

- [Honking]

[Garfield]

Now that's more my style.

Oh, taxi.

[Garfield]

Step on it, will you, driver?

No, Odie's not a hound dog.

Yes, I'm sure.

No, I don't want

another dog.

- Thanks anyway.

- [Phone Beeps]

Garfield, lunchtime.

I made your favorite...

lasagna.

Garfield!

Garfield!

Garfield, where are you?

Can anyone direct me

to the pink building...

that's shown on the back

of the Kibbly Kat box?

Uh, it's the one right by

the blue-and-orange tree.

Well, this doesn't feel

pink building-ish.

[Clattering]

- Hello?

- Now where you going? Oh, what is that?

- [Garfield] Uh-oh, rats.

- [Rat] Come on! Come on!

- Rats the size of rats.

- Come on, kids.

Is that big orange blob a cat?

Hey, now, why am I

being surrounded here?

- Some of my best friends are vermin.

- [Rats Chattering]

- Finally, some meat.

- [Cheering]

Meat? No, it's not meat.

I'm... They measured.

It's 100% body fat.

No nutritional value whatsoever.

Hey, body fat's

good with us.

- [Rats] Mmm. Yea.! Yippee.!

- Uh... Uh... Louis.

- Garfield.! Coming through.

Hey, what's going on here?

- Oh, it's my friend.

Come on, Louis.

I got 3,000 teeny mouths to feed.

Hey, back off. Garfield?

What are you doing here?

Besides defending my life?

Jon got a dog...

dog got kidnapped by a TV star,

I'm trying to rescue him.

Seems like you got yourself

in a jam, huh?

I wish there was something

I could do to help you out.

Louis, I think you and I

have an account still, remember?

- The macadamia nut cookies?

- I do love the macadamia.

- Sorry, rat pack, this cat's with me.

- Aw, come on.

Y'all got to roll.

Go ahead. Roll out.

Who wants to go

to the Red Lobster alley?

[Laughs] Hey, maybe next time,

little critters.

Good luck with the plague

and rabies and everything.

Don't push your luck, fat cat.

Garfield, you can't just

be wandering around the city.

There are dangers everywhere.

Potholes, subways,

animal control.

You think you can get me

to Telegraph Tower?

Two more cookies and you got a deal.

But we gotta keep it on the down-low.

[Garfield]

How down low do we have to go?

[Louis]

Yo, Garfield, you with me?

Louis, this is a little bit

lower than I expected.

If I didn't have a box over my head,

I'd be humiliated.

Okay, hold up. All right.

We're almost there.

Now, when I give you the signal,

we gotta cross the street.

- [Garfield] Way over there by the horizon?

- Come on, Garfield. Let's go.!

Wait up.! Wait up.!

[Gasps, Groans]

[Grunts]

- Am I dead?

- Garfield, don't move!

Don't move?

Not a problem.

[Louis]

Just wait for the walk signal.

Oh, no, it's a stampede.!

Stampede.!

- If I can just get away from this herd.

- Garfield!

Garfield!

Garfield, where are you?

Garfield, get down

from there, man.

No. I'm not coming down.

I'm happy to live the rest of my life

up here. Thank you.

Liz! Liz!

- What's wrong?

- Garfield's gone. I think he's run away too.

First Odie, and now Garfield.

Liz, I am the worst pet owner on the planet.

- Wait. What happened?

- I can't find him. You gotta help me.

I can't live

without Garfield.

Let's start at the park.

Let's start at the park.

Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

Garfield, relax.

Look. We're here.

- We're here now.

- Curb service.

The Telegraph Tower

in all its splendor.

[Garfield]

It looks much smaller on the box.

You gotta go all the way up there?

Good luck, playa.
