[upbeat theme song playing]

-[Garfield snickers] -[remote clicks]

[bells ringing]

[ominous music playing]

[TV] Be careful, Jennifer. The unspeakable horror is nearby.

It could be anywhere... anywhere at all...

[suspenseful music plays]

You never know when an unspeakable horror will just walk in the door.

[door creaking]

-[Squeak gasps] Just walk in the door? -He's right, Squeak.

An unspeakable horror could be walking right through that door any second...

-[doorknob rattles] -[Squeak] Woah!

[door creaks]

[suspenseful music playing]

Hey, look what I have!

-An accordion! -[gasps] "An accordion"?

While I was visiting my folks, I found this up in the attic.

My old accordion.

Please don't tell me you're going to see if you can still play it.

And I thought I'd see if I could still play it.

[sighs] I'm doomed.

Maybe I can still make a break for the door...

[thud]

[ominous music plays]

I'll hide out in another state. No... another continent...

another planet... another galaxy...

-[accordion playing] -[alarm rings]

-I heard the accordion! -[ding]

[groaning and grunting]

[playing off-key]

[Squeak screams]

[groans and grunts] Meow!

You know, Garfield... I was pretty good in my day.

[panting] What day was that? Because it's certainly not today.

[screams]

I wonder what would be a good place to practice.

How about Ecuador?

It's lovely this time of year. [yelping and panting]

I wonder if it bothered Squeak as much as it bothered me.

[Garfield] Yep, he looks pretty bothered.

Make it stop, Garfield. Make it stop.

I wish I could.

Researchers have discovered that the accordion

is the second most hated musical instrument in the world.

-"Second"? -What? You never heard of bagpipes?

Oh, right.

It sounds like Jon's practicing,

if you can call that practicing,

in the den of all places.

Why do people play that thing?

-[accordion playing] -[Garfield] Beats me.

You gotta be totally without brains to like an accordion.

[happy yipping and growling]

Your honor, there's my proof.

Garfield, what're we gonna do?

Wait, I have an idea.

[accordion playing]

[laughs] Odie, this is great.

I'm going to practice and practice until I get real good at this. [gasps]

Hey, Accordion Boy! You have a mouse in your house!

What are you gonna do about it? [taunting]

A mouse!

There's a mouse in the house again!

-It's the same one as always. -[Jon screams]

Get him, Odie!

[growling and barking]

Catch that mouse!

[ominous music playing]

-[clang] -[roar]

[thud]

[laughs] My timing is perfect.

In you go.

So much for the accordion.

This is our last stop before lunch, Percy. Where do you wanna go?

[groans] anywhere.

Ah, the fragrant scent of garbage, always makes me hungry.

Hey! Looks like someone threw away a perfectly good accordion.

[accordion notes play]

Just throw it on the truck.

I used to play one of these.

I gave it up because hauling trash seemed, uh...

like a more respectable job.

Oh, no! You're not bringing that thing aboard my garbage truck.

That mouse that got away...

he looked a lot like the mouse Garfield got rid of last week.

And the one he got rid of the week before that...

and the one he got rid of--

Odie! My accordion!

I left it right here and it's gone!

[worried muttering and growling]

[moans] Where could it have disappeared to?

[Odie sniffing]

-[knock on door] -Yes?

I believe this is yours.

Don't throw that thing away again.

We're not allowed to accept hazardous materials.

[accordion notes play]

I don't understand this for a minute.

Do you hear that, Squeak?

-[pants] I don't hear anything. -Yes!

And isn't it beautiful?

-I think I'll go take a nap. -[sighs relieved]

After that run, I could use one too.

[yawns] Oh boy, this gonna feel so good!

No more accordion.

[Jon] I'll serenade you to sleep, Garfield.

-[accordion plays] -[Garfield screams]

[accordion playing]

[thud]

Garfield, are you all right? Garfield?

Oh, what am I going to do?

Maybe I should call the paramedics. Or a vet. Wait!

They say music has healing powers.

I'll play him a tune on the accordion.

Hey, I'm in enough pain.

That's better...

but you probably still need first aid. I'll go get the kit.

I have to get this... this... this thing out of here.

I'll find some place for it where it will never be seen again.

Where did Garfield go?

And where's my accordion?

I have to find Garfield and I have to find my accordion.

[sniffing]

[panting] Maybe I could ship it to some foreign country.

Oh no, that's how wars get started.

Hey! I know what I'll do with it.

Farewell forever, accordion!

[splash]

My conscience says it's wrong but my ears are saying...

"Shut up! You don't have to listen to that contraption!"

-[diver] Hey, cat! -[yelps]

Didn't you read the sign?

"Warning: Illegal to dump toxic waste, dangerous chemicals, radioactive isotopes,

poisonous substances and especially accordions!"

-[diver] You wanna make the fish sick? -[thud]

I see your point. I'll find someplace else to get rid of it!

[accordion creaking]

[sniffing]

[horn honking]

[horns honking]

[Garfield] The trick to getting rid of something

is making it look like it's something you want.

Oh, look at the lovely, valuable present I got.

Now, to go home and enjoy the sound of no accordion music.

[homeless man shouts] Listen, cat.

I'm desperate.

I haven't eaten in two weeks.

But there are some things even I won't take.

-[thud] -[accordeon notes play]

[sniffing]

[dramatic music plays]

In you go!

[loud metallic rattling]

[thumping]

Now, I'll never see that instrument of evil again.

[wicked laugh]

[sniffing]

[groans and sniffs]

-First, my accordion disappears... -[Garfield] Hmm.

And now, Odie hasn't been around for hours.

I wonder what he's doing... where he is...

-[rustling] -[Odie growling]

[growls]

[howls]

[lullaby plays]

[thud]

No. No, it couldn't be... [laughs]

It's just a bad dream. That's all.

[yawns] I'll just try to get some more sleep.

[accordion plays]

That's it!

That's the voice of Jon's accordion! I'd know it anywhere!

It's coming for me!

It's saying, "You tried to do away with me!"

[accordion notes playing]

No, there's nothing in there.

It's just my imagination.

[accordion chords playing]

I'll see for myself and then I'll be able to go back to sleep...

It's coming for me!

No, no! I buried you! I know I did!

-[crash] -What's that?

[accordion notes playing]

[crash]

Odie! It's you...

[groans]

And my accordion!

-Garfield! -It was the accordion that did this!

[panting] It attacked me!

[groans]

Come on, Garfield. We'd better get you to the vet.

[upbeat music playing]

[Squeak] Cheer up.

I heard the vet say you'll be all right in a couple weeks.

That's not why I'm depressed.

I'm depressed because Jon got his accordion back.

I am so doomed.

Relax, Garf.

I also heard Jon say that it won't play anymore.

Something about it being full of dirt or something.

Really? [titters]

That's the best news I've heard.

[Jon] Garfield, I have to apologize.

I was going to entertain you with a little accordion solo

but my accordion seems to have breathed its last.

I hope so. I gave it a decent burial.

And when I went shopping for a new one,

they were way too expensive.

I guess I'll just have to do without.

But you're in luck. They were having a sale...

No! Oh, it can't be! It can't!

[bagpipes playing]

[Garfield] Make it stop! No, no!

I'd rather have the accordion back! Please, stop!

[screams] Help!
