[peaceful music playing]

[Garfield snoring]

Garfield!

-Garfield! -[Garfield yawning]

-[screaming] Garfield! -[Garfield babbles]

[crashing]

[Garfield] Oh, it's you, Nermal.

I thought it might be somebody.

Just thought you'd like to know, I'm being entered

in a big pet show contest.

Not particularly.

Oh, don't be jealous, Garfield.

It's not your fault if I'm adorable and you're not.

[Nermal] You don't even know any tricks.

Sure, I know a trick. Wanna see a trick?

-[Nermal screams] -[objects crash]

[Nermal grunts]

It's called the "Hurl The Obnoxious Kitten Out of The Yard

And Have Him Land in A Trash Dumpster" trick.

Don't I do it well?

Alright, Garfield.

Just for that... I'm not sharing the lasagna with you.

Lasagna?

What lasagna? Where's lasagna?

First prize in the pet show is 100 pounds of Vito's lasagna.

A whole three-day supply of Vito's lasgana!

Where do I sign up?

[laughing] No chance, Garfield.

You're not cute enough to even be entered into the pet show.

All the judges will just laugh at you.

Oh, yeah? We'll see about that.

[crowd laughing]

[laughing continues]

Boy, do I hate it when Nermal's right.

-[sad music playing] -[Garfield sighs]

[Odie whines]

Didn't make it, Garfield? I'm sorry.

I guess the judges and I are even.

I don't think they're so cute either.

[Odie whines]

It's okay, Odie.

[host] Mr. Arbuckle, I'm sorry

we had to reject your cat, but he's just so...

uncute.

Well, you're no Ms. Supermodel yourself, fella.

[gasps]

-[Odie whines] -[joyful music playing]

Is that your dog?

Sure, his name is Odie.

This is the cutest dog I've seen in 20 years of judging pet shows.

You must enter him in the contest.

-[gasps] -Do it, Odester. I'll be your manager.

-And if you win, we'll split the profits. -[Odie gasps] Rearry?

-"Rearry." -[Odie barks]

Note I did not say "equally."

[barking]

My dog seems to want to be in the contest.

Excellent!

-I'll go fill out the paperwork. -[barking continues]

That means we have 83 contestants.

Eighty-three contestants? [sighs]

How's Odie going to win all that lasagna for me against 82 other contestants?

I'll have to do something to kinda narrow the odds a bit.

[laughing] Hey, Garfield!

Soon as I heard first prize was lasagna, I knew you'd be in this contest.

-Not me. Not for that lasagna. -[Odie panting]

I thought you loved Vito's lasagna.

Not any more. Not since Vito started making it... healthy.

Healthy lasagna? Ain't that a contradiction?

Yeah, he makes it out of soy and tofu, and then he throws in some tofu and soy.

Yuck! Sounds awful!

It's lasagna I won't eat.

That oughta tell you plenty.

I'm gonna go to the other pet show on the east side of town.

They have real delicious lasagna as the prize.

Hey, if that's where the great prize is, that's where I'm going.

[sighs] One down, eighty-one to go.

Really? On the east side of town?

Would I mislead you?

[giggling]

Oh! Well, you always know where the good lasagna is, Garfield.

Always.

-[dogs barking and yelling] -[fast music playing]

[clears throat] Seventy-nine... 80... 81...

[sighs] I mi♪ssed one.

[host] Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please?

We seem to have lost most of our contestants.

Gee, I wonder where they all went.

We only have two... Odie the dog...

[applause and cheering]

[cameras flashing]

...and Nermal the cat.

Nermal! That's the one I missed!

[Nermal giggles]

Our two contestants will compete in several events

to determine the winner, starting with the cuteness competition.

I know you're rooting for Odie, Garfield.

But there's no way anyone's going to beat Nermal in a cuteness competition.

Yeah, we'll see about that.

First, the judges will score Odie with regard to cuteness.

[audience cheers in awe]

[audience cheers in awe]

[audience cheers in awe]

[audience cheers and claps]

I love a good, intellectual competition.

Well, let's see how the judges have scored Odie.

Odie gets an eight, a nine and a ten for a total of 27 points!

Now, we'll test the cuteness of Nermal.

And now, we'll put cotton into Odie's ears.

[gasps]

Here's where I take an early lead. I do "cute" better than anybody.

[audience gasps]

[audience cheers in awe]

[meows]

[purring cutely]

Observe what happens when you rub claws on the average blackboard.

-[Garfield cackles] -[menacing music plays]

-[screeching] -[scream]

And in the cuteness competition,

the judges give Nermal a one, a zero...

-...and a minus-three! -[buzzer sounding]

I can't believe it, you're almost as uncute

as that fat orange cat that applied earlier.

[chuckles]

In any case, Odie has won the first event!

-[crowd cheering] -[triumphant music playing]

The lasagna prize will be mine.

Well, mine and Odie's. But mostly mine.

We can't possibly lose.

The next event will be based on intelligence.

[gasps]

Boy, can we lose.

The object of this competition is to find two matching items in the pile.

Oh, my!

Nermal will go first. On your mark... get set... go!

[frantic music playing]

[sighs]

-Yay! -[crowd cheering]

And Nermal finds one slipper and then its match in seven seconds.

Ha! Let's see you top that, dog.

[barking]

Alright, boy. Go select an item from the pile.

A slipper! Okay, now go pick another slipper out of the pile.

No, that's a baseball mitt! We need a slipper!

No, that's a flashlight! Get a slipper!

No, that's an eight-by-ten glossy of Elvis Presley!

We need a slipper! A slipper!

-[clock ticks faster] -[bell chimes]

No, that would be the Klopman Diamond.

I'm sorry...

Odie has brought you every item in the building except the slipper.

-[triumphant music playing] -Nermal wins this event, tying the score.

[crowd applauds]

Odie, why can't you just bring me a slipper?

-[bell rattling] -Even you're not that stupid.

-[birds chirping] -Why can't you understand me?

[sighs]

The contest will be settled by the final event... the obstacle course!

Everyone step outside!

[light music playing]

The pet who reaches the end of this obstacle course first

will win the competition...

and this piping hot lasagna from the master Italian chef...

-Vito! -[crowd cheering]

Woo-hoo!

-[Odie panting] -Pets ready... on your mark...

-get set... go! -[horn blares]

-[eggs plopping] -[bird chirping]

-[rock music playing] -[race car noises]

-[Nermal giggling] -[spring bouncing]

[Nermal laughing]

[moaning]

[crowd cheering]

[panting]

[Odie whining]

[crowd cheers in awe]

Nermal's nearing the finish line. Face it, Garfield. Odie's lost.

I'm not giving up that lasagna without a fight.

And Nermal's heading for the finish line. Looks like this one is just about over.

-[Garfield] One more photo, Nermal! -[Nermal laughs]

[gasps] My public!

What's this? Nermal's stopped just short of the finish line for a photo-op!

Just one more! Now smile this way!

One more photo, Nermal!

[Garfield] Now your good side! Now, your other good side!

[Odie panting heavily]

[host] And now what's happening?

Odie has come from behind and is heading for the finish line.

[panting]

-And Odie's the winner! -[crowd cheers]

Hey, what's everybody cheering about? I didn't win yet!

And it looks like it's going to stay that way.

[Nermal gasps]

[sighs]

[laughs] Nice job, Odie. You're a champion!

[Odie chuckles]

Enjoy your lasagna prize, fellas.

Oh, and Garfield...

Odie won the contest, so divide it up fairly.

[gasps] Did you think I wouldn't?

Did you think I would cheat someone out of their fair share of lasagna?

Odie gets a piece and I get a piece.

What could be fairer than that?

[Odie panting]

Here's your one piece.

And here's my one piece.

I won't eat it all now. I'll eat some now

and some in eight minutes.

Nothing will prevent me from enjoying this.

[trumpets blaring]

[growling]

[grunts] There was no pet show on the east side of town.

What? No pet show on the east side of town?

Boy! Wait 'til I get my paws on that evil liar that told me that.

[Harry] Yeah! We walked all the way over there

and back and now we're hungry.

-What do you have to say to that? -[growling]

[grunts]

Care for some lasagna?

Thanks. I thought you'd never offer.

[growling]
