[furniture breaking]

You come back here with that, Garfield! We were supposed to share that pizza!

[Garfield] Don't worry, I'll leave you the crust.

[whines]

-Come back with that pillow! -[whines]

It's my pillow! I paid for it!

Yeah, but I'm the one who got cat hair all over it!

[Jon screams] A mouse! Garfield, there's a mouse in the kitchen!

You were supposed to do something to keep mice out!

[Garfield] I am! I'm eating every last piece of cheese!

[Squeek] Boy, Jon and Garfield...

they haven't been getting along well lately, have they?

[grunts]

And you'd like them to be friends, wouldn't you?

[Odie whines]

Well, we gotta do something.

I can't live in a house with so much bickering.

I'm a sensitive rodent.

And I think I got an idea. Wanna help, Odie?

[barks]

Okay, here's what I need you to do.

[whispering] But I gotta whisper so...

[Jon] We're going to watch the music show!

[Garfield] We're gonna watch the monster movie!

We're going to watch the music show!

We're going to watch the monster movie!

-[Odie barks] -[Jon] We're gonna watch the music show!

[Garfield] We're watching the monster movie!

[Jon] We're gonna watch the music show!

-[Garfield] Monster movie! -[Jon] We're gonna watch the music show!

-[Garfield] Monster movie! -[Jon] Music show!

[Jon] We're going to watch the music show!

[Garfield] We're going to watch the monster movie!

[Jon] Music show!

[Garfield] Monster movie!

[Jon] Music show!

Are you and your pet not getting along?

Are the two of you always quarreling and bickering?

If your arguments in your house are getting out of hand,

maybe you're just what we've been looking for.

-[Garfield] Monster movie! -[Jon] Music show!

-[knocking on glass] -[gasp]

We have a new reality TV show called Petmatchers.

Our mission is to match the right pet and master.

Each week, we put one pet owner and one pet through a series of tests

calculated to measure if they go together.

Last week, this woman came to us with her dog,

an obvious mismatch.

-[buzzing] -After our tests,

she left with her new, perfectly matched pet.

[Jon and Garfield] Gee... that sounds interesting.

Maybe we oughta go on that show.

They'll get tested, they'll realize they're made for each other

and no more arguing.

[barks]

That is... [sighs]

if it works.

-Music show! -Monster movie!

-Music show! -Monster movie!

[show music playing]

[screams]

-[moans] -[grunts]

[announcer] And now, back to Petmatchers

with your host, Chuck Yenta!

-Welcome back! -[audience applauds]

We're testing this man, Jon Arbinkle--

-Jon Arbuckle. -[microphone ringing]

Right... Jon Arbinkle,

to see if he and his cat Garfield are a good match.

[sighs] I hope they don't expect me to sing.

[computer buzzes]

[bell rings]

The computer has analyzed your likes.

Here are yours, Jon Arbinkle.

[clears throat]

-Summer days, friendly people... -[audience gasps in awe]

...walks on the beach, a good baseball game.

-Yep. That's me. -[audience applauds]

And here is what the computer has determined as the likes of your pet.

-Beef lasagna, sausage lasagna... -[audience laughs]

...spinach lasagna...

-more beef lasagna. -[Garfield sighs]

Did it mention lasagna? Smart computer.

Let's see the other ways in which you two are compatible

or incompatible.

Favorite way to spend the evening?

[audience laughs and applauds]

[Chuck] Favorite sport?

-[Garfiled snoring] -[audience laughs and applauds]

[Chuck] Favorite hobby?

-[snoring] -[audience laughs and applauds]

[yawning] All this testing is making me feel like I need a nap.

Mr. Yenta, have these tests enabled you to determine my personality?

Yes. You don't seem to have one.

But we have determined that you and your cat Garfield are...

[drum roll]

[computer beeps]

-Incompatible! -[audience applauds]

Incompatible?

[whining]

You mean Garfield shouldn't be my cat?

That is correct! But don't worry!

We've determined the ideal new pet for you

and the ideal new master for your cat.

[gasps] There was someone other than Jon?

Garfield cat, your new owner is...

[drum roll]

Freddie Applegate, age nine.

Where's my new kitty cat? I want my new kitty cat!

[screams]

-[Freddie] Kitty cat! -[Garfield] Oh, my!

-But Garfield and I have always-- -And Jon Arbinkle,

the ideal new pet for you as determined by the computer is...

[drum roll]

-[Chuck] ...this frog. -[audience applauds]

[croaks]

Are you sure the computer didn't make a mistake?

Computers never make mistakes.

Now, you go to your homes and we'll have camera crews follow you

and report back on next week's show how things are working out.

I already hate this.

[audience applauds]

I'm gonna take it home and we're gonna...

-play "Rocket to Mars." -Help!

[sniffs]

[whining]

Don't be sad, Odie.

Our new friend will fit right into our lives and it will all be good.

-There you go, boy. -[whines]

-[croaks] -[Jon gasps]

I think that's all he does.

[moaning]

Look at the bright side.

I bet Garfield's getting along great in his new home.

[frog croaks]

[Freddie] Kitty cat! It's time for lunch!

Did someone say lunch?

You did say lunch. Oh boy! I'm going to like it here.

For lunch, I'm having meat loaf with mashed potatoes and cream corn

plus for dessert I get ice cream with hot fudge on it.

What about the cat? What about the cat?

And you get a nice, big bowl of Kitty Crunchies.

[growls]

[gasps and spits]

Yuck! [spitting]

Hey, if you think this is food, you eat it.

[gasps]

You're my cat and you're gonna do what I tell you.

We're gonna play Rocket to Mars!

-We are? -[chair screeches]

I don't think I'm going to like playing Rocket to Mars!

Ready to blast off for Mars!

Three... two... one... blast off!

I was right. I don't like playing Rocket to Mars!

[cans rattling]

I don't like it one... [spits, coughs]

bit.

So, Froggy. Would you like to go for a walk?

Chase birds?

[sadly] Do anything?

How about kicking the puppy off the table?

My old pet loved kicking the puppy off the table.

[croaks]

[Odie whines]

[sighs]

[croaks]

This is the most boring pet in the world.

I'll bet things are more exciting in Garfield's new home.

[Odie whining]

Now he wants to play cops and robbers and I have to be a robber.

Oh! Where is that bad kitty cat burglar?

[panting]

[gasps] No, stop.

I'm going to have to arrest him

and make sure he receives the ultimate punishment.

This is the ultimate punishment.

Maybe he's hiding in here somewhere.

When I catch him, he'll be sorry.

I'm already sorry.

No, I guess he's not in here. I'll go search around outside.

[sighs]

Boy, am I sorry.

Gotcha!

But not as sorry as I'm gonna be.

The burglar is putting up a struggle. He's trying to get away.

A fine idea.

He's making a break for his getaway car!

I am?

It looks like it's going to be a high-speed police pursuit!

-[screaming] -[upbeat music playing]

[screams]

Help! Call the auto club! Help!

Jon never did this to me. Plus, he made me lasagna.

[garbage can rattles]

[panting] I can't move. I can't move.

[Freddie] Where's my kitty cat? I 've got another game for him!

Oh yeah! I can move.

I've got to get Garfield back in my life!

I've got to get Jon back in my life!

[laughs]

Garfield, you should come back and be my loyal, devoted cat again.

Jon, I should come back and you should be the guy who feeds me again.

-[sighs] -[laughs]

[croaks]

[Chuck] Well, that's what our cameras recorded.

I guess this pet match just didn't work.

But things have all been straightened out.

-Garfield and Jon are together again... -[audience applauds]

...and Freddie has a new pet, too.

We're gonna play Rocket to Mars!

[screams]

Hey! You come back here! You're my frog now...

And meanwhile, here's your faithful dog, Odie,

-glad to see master and pet reunited! -[audience applauds]

And to thank you for letting Petmatchers try to match your pets,

we have a nice gift for you.

Something edible, I hope.

Our computer has calculated what would be the ideal vacation spot for you

and we're going to send you there, all expenses paid!

The perfect vacation spot? I can't wait.

[shivering] The perfect vacation spot?

I thought computers didn't make mistakes.

Computers don't make mistakes. Pets make mistakes.

[stammering] My frog!
