Good morning, morning.

Guess I'll get up, wake Jon, exercise.

Unless, of course, that floor is cold.

I hate cold floors.

I'm not getting out of bed if

that floor is the slightest bit chilly.

[SNEEZE]

It's freezing.

Too bad.

[SIGHS]

I'm hungry.

Hungry, Garfield? You guessed it, buster.

Okie dokie.

Here you go.

No thanks, I couldn't possibly eat another bite.

Well its just another crazy day

The kind that drives the news away

bounce on top of the walls

Hangin' on with the claws

Just another crazy day

Just another lazy boring

silly willy nilly mornin'

Just another crazy boring silly willy nilly mornin'

lovin' crazy ordinary day!

And they say, pets are therapeutic

So, there you are. Where's Odie?

Mm boys, boys, boys. Just look at this room!

What am I going to do with you two?

Giving you away at the supermarket comes to mind.

A one-way ticket to the city pound, seems like a good idea.

Right now, even taxidermy sounds terrific.

I work and slave for you, and do I get any thanks for it?

No, I don't. What do I get?

A demolition derby in my living room.

That's it, Garfield. This is not normal for you.

You're hyper active and that's serious.

I think it's time for a trip, to the vet.

No, no, not... The vet!

Garfield!

Garfield, quit playing with the power seat!

Now, sit still. That's a good boy.

Jon, what happened?

Hey, watch it! Cat in the road, careful!

I'm free. No vet.

No Jon. No Odie.

♪ He's out on the town

Makin' some tracks

Livin' alone all unattached but he's cool

He's cool He's calm, He's...

Startin' from scratch

Loaded with charm

A cat without fear

Look out baby! Garfield is here!

But he's cool, he's cool he's calm, he's...

Startin' from scratch

This could be my time to howl. Aroo!

What's happening, baby?

Take a hike, Jack! Aroo!

Hey, how about you and me doing something beautiful, darling.

Can it, creep.

Aroo.

Hey, honey, what's your sign? Suck air, bozo.

He's out on the town

Hittin' the streets

This is a cat with the world at his feet

but he's cool he's cool

He's calm he's calm

He's cold. I'm cold.

And he misses his house. I miss my house.

May I speak with Dr. Wilson, please?

Yes, I'll hold.

Dr. Wilson. Hi Doc, this is

Jon Arbuckle uh, you know, Garfield's owner?

Oh, Garfield. What, now?

Well, I was taking him to see you...

Mm-hm. When he suddenly disappeared

and I'm not even sure how... Mm-hm.

And, and it was near the pet hospital there,

and I thought somebody might

have brought him in, and, well...

Well, what? I was afraid he, could have

been, you know uh, hit by a car or something.

Oh, well in that case, you don't want a pet hospital.

You want a tow truck.

Well, thanks for your, concern.

Boy, it's starting to get dark.

No sweat, I can take care of myself.

Fact, might be fun to rumble for some exercise.

Just let someone try something.

I'll give em the old hi-yah.

Yah, ah! Shadow!

Ah, I knew it was you all along.

Don't ever do that again, okay? Okay.

You hungry?

Me too. Let's find a place to eat.

Ah, this looks good. Galvanized.

Not one of those cheap plastic places.

Bon appetit. Yuck!

Uh, you're out of your territory, ain't you fella?

Hi. This is my garbage can.

You mean, you eat here?

Mm-hm. Hey, how great I mean,

for you to have so much, considering the

current economic situation.

Well, I gotta be going.

Uh, it's not that easy, Puffball.

Puffball?

Did you just call me Puffball? Oh, that offends you?

I'm sorry, Lardball. Well, that does it!

Me and my shadow were just

talking about getting a little exercise.

Piece of cake.

This is not good.

Come on, will you?

Well, Shadow, I guess it's just you and me.

Let's take em!

Good idea. Wait for me!

Hey, this place smells familiar.

Garfield? Do I know you?

Think back, Garfield.

Mom? My little boy.

My, you've gotten fat. Hey!

Hello, want ads?

Lost and found, please. Hi,

I wanna run an ad.

Missing: a beautiful, orange striped tabby cat uh, of

the large bone persuasion, answering

to the name of Garfield.

Uh, when found, he'll probably be hungry.

His uh, his favorite food is lasagna,

but uh, but he'll take almost any

other kind of pasta dish, say a

deep dish Cavatini, heavy on the meat sauce.

Let's see, upon finding Garfield,

please contact Jon Arbuckle anytime at 555-7722 uh,

in appreciation, a generous reward is being offered.

Uh, I guess that's it.

Oh, by the way, how much will it cost?

How much?

Well uh, in that case, have it read, Lost.

Fat, orange-striped cat.

Reward. Thank you.

Good morning, Garfield. Oh, good morning, Mom.

For a minute there, I thought I was dreaming.

Oh, this is real. Believe me.

Mom, this place smells so

familiar, it's just driving me crazy.

Where are we?

Why, you're home, Garfield.

Home?

Yes, this used to be the

kitchen of an Italian restaurant, you were...

Oh, oh, I'm starting to remember.

There was a table over there...

Yes.

And there was a stove over there...

Yes. And a big fat guy

with a mustache.

You do remember. I do remember.

And over there, that's where you were born.

Home again

From where you never know

You can call a friend

You see the love light shining

And you know

You are home

Whoa!

Home to stay

Now, I remember everything.

Follow me, Garfield.

I wonder where we're going.

I, I think we found him. Oh, boy, oh, boy.

Yep, that's Lardball, alright?

Oh, boy, oh, boy. We're gonna be heroes!

Much smaller than I remembered it.

This is your family, Garfield.

Family?

My family? Well, cousins mostly.

Gee, they're so skinny.

Dear, times are tough, even for mousers.

Mousers? You mean you uh,

you uh, uh... Every chance we get.

Yuck!

Come, dear, meet the family.

Garfield, this is your cousin, Sly.

Hi, Sly. What's happening?

How's it going? How you doing?

Doesn't seem too friendly. He's on duty, dear.

Sly is our watch cat.

Watch cat, huh? Hey Sly, watch this.

Fun family. I can't wait to...

And uh, this is Raul, your brother.

Wow, man, that's the first time I ever seen one of them.

Part cat, part house. Must be one of them housecats.

That's pretty good.

Housecat Housecat, hysterical.

So, listen, everything cool?

Uh, maybe we could hang out sometime?

Uh, pardon me, bros, I gotta catch a few more z's.

This is so great, I'm just having a ball.

Raul isn't well.

I'm not doing that good myself.

Garfield, this is your grandfather.

Father, I'd like for you to meet Garfield.

Hi, pleased...

You're soft, boy.

Too proud to work for a living? Well, I...

So, you want to be a mouser ay, boy?

No, I, I, do I? Well,

if you want to stay here, you do.

We have a tradition to uphold, my boy.

Your father, your great grandfather, your

great-great grandfather, we've always been mousers.

Are they here?

They drop in from time to time.

Garfield, you come from a long line of bachelors.

Hoh. Incoming!

Topside, topside battle stations!

Battle stations, everybody!

Quick, now, topside, topside! Get ready to fight, dear.

Fight?

You know, there's too much fighting

in the world, don't you think?

Oh, cut the philosophy, chubbs, move it.

Thanks, I needed that. Oh, oh, ooh, any time, oh,

uh. Everybody, get organized.

What's happening? It's the Claws.

The Claws?

We haven't had trouble with them for a long time.

I wonder what they want.

I think, I can guess.

What do you want? Lardball!

They want someone called Lardball.

Yeah, that fat orange striped wimp, we know

he's in there, so we'll make it real simple.

You throw Lardball out, we leave.

If you don't, we level the place, your choice.

Hm... It's tempting.

Oh, he's family.

We fight! We fight!

Hey, great.

You are weird. Rumble!

Hey Garfield, watch this. Look, isn't that Haley's Comet?

Not bad.

Hey, I guess we showed them, huh?

They won't try that again. Not with this family!

Lardball, go home.

No, please don't ask me to stay,

I really have to get going.

Garfield?

I'm sorry I let you down, Mom.

Oh, there's nothing to be sorry about, Garfield.

Not all of us are cut out to be mousers.

I'll say. Garfield, this is

really for the best. You wouldn't survive here.

You have a good life, an easy life.

We all envy you.

I'll miss you.

I'll always be with you, Garfield.

And if you ever need me, I'll be there.

Now, go, dear. It's starting to get dark.

Garfield, I love you. I love you too, Mom.

I'm hungry. I could waste away to normal.

Nah, I'm too tired to be hungry.

Nah, I'm too scared to be tired.

Maybe if I whistle, I won't be scared.

What am I doing? Cats can't whistle.

I guess, I'll just lie down here and

hope for something big to fall on me.

I can see the headline, now.

Extremely good looking cat totaled in piano crash.

I'm gonna miss me. Now, I'm lonely.

What more could possibly go wrong?

Nice touch.

Hey. Hey!

Jon! Jon!

Jon!

Is that you, Garfield? Thank you.

That was enough for one day.

Lasagna! Home, Jon.
