Something if you can outwit it.

( lightning and thunder )

- beware, allison.

The monster lurks

Somewhere around here.

Somewhere nearby is a creature

That will eat anything and

Still never be satisfied.

Stay close to me, allison.

Only then will you be safe.

- garfield, I have to go

Get some groceries.

Garfield?

Garfield.

I'll be back soon.

Why I am wasting my voice?

- yes, come with me, allison.

- no, don't go with him,

Allison.

- trust me, allison.

- no, don't trust him, allison.

I can't watch.

- I do trust you, brett.

I feel safe with your hand

In mine, your other hand

On my shoulder,

Your other hand on--

( screams )

- odie, don't do that.

( groans )

( gulps )

- well, since you're here,

Want to watch chiller diller

Theater with me?

- uh-huh, uh-huh.

- good, I can use the company.

( lightning and thunder )

( whimpers )

- don't be scared, fella.

It's just thunder, thunder

And a monster movie.

Neither one can hurt you.

( lightning and thunder )

- just watch the movie.

- sergeant, you must help me!

The monster is getting

Closer and closer.

Oh, please, hurry.

( growling )

- he's getting closer!

Oh, oh, no!

It's coming in. It's--

- it's--what is it?

( lightning and thunder )

- don't be afraid.

It's just a power failure.

It's...

( door creaks )

( lightning and thunder )

- look, footprints,

And they look like

They're from some sort

Of unearthly creature.

- huh?

Hmm.

- help me barricade the door.

( barks )

( grunts )

- there, now no monsters

Will get in here.

Now, where's that flashlight?

It's got to be in

Here some--here it is.

Now to find jon.

Jon. Jon.

Jon? Are you in here?

He's gone.

Maybe they got him.

Gee, with no power.

All the food in

The refrigerator will spoil.

We can't let it

Go to waste now, can we?

( bangs )

- the door is stuck.

( ding-dong )

- garfield!

( whimpers )

( slurps )

- no, I didn't take

Everything out

Of the refrigerator.

I left two trays of ice cubes

And I think the light bulb.

( bangs )

- odie, did you hear something?

( bangs )

- it's the monster come

To get us.

( barks )

- maybe I can get in

The back way.

- help!

- someone help me!

- you're right.

That is jon's voice.

Maybe the monster got him.

- help!

- hello? Hello?

The phone's dead which, I guess,

Is just as well since

I can't talk anyway.

( thunder )

( whimpers )

- the monster's outside,

And he's got jon.

This is no time to panic.

( bangs )

- I was wrong.

This is a terrific time

To panic.

- he must be asleep.

That cat can sleep

Through anything.

- don't worry, odie.

I have a plan.

I know how to stop that monster.

- wait a minute.

I just rembered

I hid an extra key here.

Whoa!

( crash )

- what a ghastly sound

That monster makes.

I have to tie this monster up.

It's too late for poor jon,

But we can stop this creature

From harming anyone else.

- garfield.

( whimpers )

- garfield.

- maybe it's not too late.

I can still hear jon inside him.

- slight mistake.

( lightning and thunder )

- the monster

Has been sighted...

- it was a movie, just a movie.

Those things aren't real,

You ought to be ashamed of

--oh, just go to bed,

Both of you.

- he's right. Let's go.

- there's no way to stop

That monster.

- a harmless

Little monster movie.

( laughs )

- how can anyone believe--

( growls )

( whimpers )

- still scared, huh, fella?

Okay. Jump in.

( barks )

- whew.

( screams )

- I hate it when jon's right,

But being afraid of

Monster movies is silly.

No one big gets scared by them.

( growls )

- you boys got room

For one more?

- well, almost no one.

( lightning and thunder )

- hey, roy.

- yo.

- tag, you're it!

- oh, yeah?

- ya, hoo, hoo, hoo!

-.Roy, are you all right?

Shell forever, sheldon.

Feel a draft.

Gee, I sure hope I'm cute.

- ( laughs )

What kind of a henhouse

Is this?

I came here for chicken.

This chicken doesn't look ripe,

You know, but it'll have to do.

Leaving with the egg.

Exiting, entirely exiting,

Leaving, goodbye,

With the egg.

- this is for you, sheldon,

But first, you have to be born.

Sheldon?

Yo, sheldon?

Sheldon?

Sheldon, where are you?

- out!

- safe!

I lost him.

- orson, we just saw the fox.

Too young to be poached.

This is a catastrophe.

This looks like a job for,

Da-da-da-da, power pig.

Come, we shall rescue sheldon.

( laughing )

- correction, we shall rescue

Sheldon after certain people

Stop laughing.

You know, scramble you?

Fry ya?

Keep out of this.

You don't have a vote, you know.

Recipe, recipe, what...

- out!

- safe!

- shh!

There's the fox,

And he's got sheldon.

A brilliant plan.

- what is it?

- that's what we need,

A brilliant plan.

Maybe you sneak around

To that side or maybe I should--

- there's an easier way

To do this.

All right,

Tell him who you are.

- I'm power pig,

Defender of the defenseless.

( laughs )

- power pig!

- sheldon!

Whew!

- let's go get you hatched,

Sheldon, but don't worry.

You're safe.

In a second, guys.

- he's almost out.

- safe!

- out!

- safe!

- out!

- sheldon, under

Your shell was--

- another shell.

- I guess I'm just an egg.

That's all I am,

Just a poor little

Defenseless egg.

- ha, got you now, egg.

Uh-oh, uh-oh.

Oh, my--

- oh, well, I guess

There's worse things

To be than an egg.

- garfield, you should

Learn something new each day.

It would lend purpose to this

Dreary existence of yours.

I'm going to the store.

When I come back, I want you

To have learned something.

I'm back, garfield.

What did you learn While I was gone?

- well, for one thing,

I learned how to use

Your credit card.

- I just had

To call you, zelda.

That one evening

We spent together

Was one of the most memorable

Of my life.

I'll never forget--

Jon, jon arbuckle,

I've got brown hair.

That's right,

The guy with the cat.

( barks )

- shh, jon's trying

To find a date.

This could take years.

- so where have you been

Hiding all my life?

Oh, hiding, huh?

Well, I was wondering

If you were busy tonight.

Uh-huh.

Well, how about tomorrow night?

Some night next week?

How far ahead are you booked?

Well, what about after

The turn of the century?

- human love, it's so pathetic.

- yeah, well, have

A nice decade.

( sighs )

Who else do I know?

- you're wasting your time.

You were already up

To zelda zeekly.

( sneezes )

- there's got to be someone.

After all, I bought

A new suit and everything.

How do you like

My jacket, garfield?

- just a minute.

Not bad,

But how do you adjust

The horizontal hold?

( sneezes )

- you've been sneezing

All day, garfield.

I hope you're not--

Hey, that's terrific.

I can take you to the vet,

Maybe get liz

To go out with me,

And then she'll fall for me,

And then we'll get married,

And then we'll have kids, and--

- oh, great. I'm sick,

And he's planning a family.

( sneezes )

- come on.

You've been here before.

- no, I don't have to go

To the vet.

Sorry to interfere

With your love life,

But I just got be--

( sneezes )

Something wrong with him.

- do you think these

Make me look cool?

Hey, good looking,

What time do you Get off of work?

- that's my coat rack

You're talking to.

- hey, he might

Get lucky this time.

For each other--

Oh, what's the use?

Someone like you would

Never go out with someone

Like me.

- ah, sure, jon.

I'll go out with you tonight.

- I didn't think you--you will?

- veterinarians always take

Pity on suffering dumb animals.

- I'm sorry, garfield,

But you're not coming

With us tonight.

Liz and I want to be alone.

( sneezes )

- besides, you're sick.

- I go with you

Or the tie dies.

- get down, garfield.

- you're not leaving me

Home alone.

The only thing on tv tonight is

A documentary on raisin sorting.

- come on, get off!

Let go, garfield.

( rips )

- you'll start a new fashion,

The semi-beach look.

( starts car )

- I did it.

I got out of the house without

Garfield tagging along.

Liz is going to be so happy,

And wait 'til she sees

The box of candy I got her.

- pooey!

Conut, yick!

- what's wrong with garfield

Is probably an allergy.

What's he eaten lately?

- pizza, lasagna, chocolate

Pie, stew, lamb, veal,

Chop suey, a couple of tacos,

Knockwurst, pastrami and rye,

Tapioca pudding, soup.

- he's eaten all

That this week?

- no, no, that was Just breakfast today.

I should've known he was sick

When he had no appetite.

( sneezes )

- gesundheit, garfield.

Now, for lunch, he had

A little more--

- what would you recommend?

- garfield!

- I thought you were going

To leave him home, jon.

- so did I.

( snaps fingers )

- it all looks so good.

Bring me an order of everything

With a side of everything else.

Not hungry?

Don't worry.

I'll finish it.

Hmm, not--

( sneezes )

--bad.

( movie sounds )

- excuse me.

Pardon me, excuse--

- why didn't you get

A small popcorn?

- this is a small.

The large comes in a coliseum.

- I'm allergic to something.

What if it's lasagna?

How would I survive?

I'd sneeze a lot.

- did you have

To bring him along?

- if I'd taken him home,

We'd have missed the movie.

Shh! I want to hear who

The murder is.

- what if I'm allergic

To cat hair?

I'd have to shave every day.

I'd look like a chihuahua.

- --unmistakable conclusion

And at last I've solved it.

Duke was murdered by

None other than--

( sneezes )

( complaing )

- that does it.

Jon, if you can't

Take care of this cat,

You don't have time for me.

- liz, wait. Don't go.

I'll take him home. I'll--

Well, now you've done it,

Garfield, ruined everything.

I'll probably never

See liz again.

I hope you're happy.

- I am.

My sneeze is gone.

- and take your coat.

It's scaring folks.

( sneezes )

- garfield, it's my new

Sport coat

That's making you sneeze.

- sure--

( sneezes )

- --looks that way.

- hey, got any spare change?

- here, have a coat.

Sorry it's not more of

An improvement over the way

You're already dressed.

( coughs )

- hey, not bad.

Thanks, pal.

- well, we solved one problem,

But I still lost liz.

- ahem.

- jon, I was thinking,

You really do love that cat.

I mean, you'd have to.

Someone who loves animals

Like you do

Is worth another chance.

- oh, yes, yes, I love animals.

- if you love me,

You'll feed me.

- let's try it another night.

Okay?

- well, garfield.

I guess you're worth

Having around after all.

- about time you realized that.

- come on.

We'll stop and get burgers

On the way home except

That my car keys and wallet

Are in that coat.

Hey, come back here!

That's my coat!

Bring back my coat!

- boy, one minute,

They love you.

The next minute, they drop you.

People, hmm, go figure.
