Here... please send this off.

[gasps]

In case you're wondering,

I just sent that DVD I made of you misbehaving...

to Dr. Whipple.

No! Not Dr. Whipple.

[screams]

[Garfield] I want to watch a really mindless game show

featuring people dressed up as large chickens.

I don't care what you want to watch, Garfield.

We're going to watch Doctor Whipple.

As you know, I specialize in teaching obedience to pets...

especially cats who don't know how to behave

and are lazy, rude and impossible.

I hear there are such cats.

Yesterday on this show,

I showed you one of the worst-behaved cats I've ever come across.

Here's a tape of how Kittykins used to be.

-[audience gasps] -[man] What a badly-behaved cat!

[laughs] Seems like my kind of guy!

In fact, Kittykins looks kind of familiar.

Since then, I have put Kittykins through my no-fail,

guaranteed pet obedience training...

and here he is.

[audience claps]

[clears throat] Kittykins, would you like to chase this bird?

No.

-[audience cheering] -[man] What a well-behaved cat!

[purrs]

[Dr. Whipple] You can train your disobedient pet

with my exclusive line

of DVDs, tapes, books,

-computer software... -[Garfield gasps]

Don't worry, Garfield, I'm not going to order all that expensive equipment.

[sighs] Good. For a minute there I thought--

[doorbell rings]

[Odie panting]

Come on in! It's open!

Jon! You didn't! You wouldn't!

You couldn't!

You did.

Come with me, cat.

[sighs]

Farewell, Odie.

I'll be back.

[funerary music playing]

[Garfield] But I may not be me when I return.

[whimpering]

[calm music playing]

[horns honking]

[sighs]

Jon, how could you do this to me?

[Dr. Whipple] Ah, good morning, cat.

[clears throat] If you do as your told, we can get through this in a hurry.

After several hours of my training,

you will be a tame, docile cat

like Kittykins here.

Why does Kittykins look so familiar to me?

[gasps in surprise]

First training method. The sound chamber.

[belt stretching and strapping]

[struggles]

This will instill in you a sense of warning

-if you misbehave. -[buttons beep]

[voices from speakers] Don't scratch! Don't mistreat puppies!

Eat what you've been given!

-I'll be back in an hour. -[Garfield] Oh no!

[speaker voices] Behave yourself! Do what you're told!

All right. It's an hour later.

-[dramatic music playing] -[Garfield panting]

Fine. We're off to a good start.

[Garfield panting]

Yuk!

This is to break you of your atrocious habit

of kicking small puppies off of tables.

Whenever you kick the robotic puppy off...

Well, just try it and see what happens.

[grumbles]

[laughs]

[metal crashes]

That was easy!

[screams]

[thud]

I'm not taking this lying down.

[metallic tail wagging]

[Garfield huffs]

-[metal crashes] -[scoffs]

[surprised] What? [screams]

[growls] Why, you... !

-[Garfield screams] -[metal crashes]

[screaming and crashing continues]

[panting]

[robotic whirring]

[slow creaking]

[crashing and springing]

[panting] I know just how you feel, pal.

And now it's time to eat.

Why do I have the feeling this is the first time ever

I'm not going to like doing that?

[Dr. Whipple] Right here is your food.

Kitty crunch, dry nuggets,

styrofoam flavor. And here is my dinner...

prime rib with mashed potatoes, gravy,

cream corn and apple pie a la mode for dessert.

Oh! Yum and double yum.

You must eat your food and not eat my food.

Because, do you know what will happen if you try to eat my food?

[gasps] Yum yum!

[Garfield wailing]

Oh! Ouch! Ouch!

That's right. If you try for my food, a half-ton safe will drop on you.

[dazed and panting] So I noticed.

[safe crashes]

Now... make the correct choice.

[safe crashes]

[grumbles]

Cat... every time you reach for the prime rib,

the safe will drop on you.

Don't you realize this?

[laughing sadly]

Then why do you keep reaching for the prime rib?

Because it's just the way I like it... medium rare.

[struggles]

Now you've had the complete program.

And somehow I [stammers] survived.

You'll be perfectly behaved when we do my TV show in one hour.

Oh, that was awful.

In fact, it was worse than awful.

It would have to get better just to be awful.

Hi, Garfield.

Hi, Kittykins.

Hey!

How do you know my name, Kitttykins?

Wait!

You're Harry, that cat from my neighborhood.

[laughs] That's me!

What are you doing pretending to be a tame cat named Kittykins?

You're as bad as I am.

I got me a job.

I pretend to be a successful result of Doc Whipple's training

and every day, he pays me my weight in tuna fish.

He can afford that?

Are you kidding?

You know how much this guy makes off these stupid lessons he sells?

How much does he make?

Enough to pay you your weight in tuna.

Well, that's a lot of tuna.

Yeah, play along. Help him sell the stuff

and you can have the same great job I have.

Which would I rather have?

My weight in tuna every day? Or my integrity?

Oh, these moral decisions are hard.

[announcer] ...and now, the world's foremost trainer of problem pets...

-Doctor Whipple! -[audience cheers]

[Odie whimpers]

Thank you.

Today, you will see the results of my greatest challenge:

the worst behaved cat I've ever seen.

Garfield!

[audience cheering]

I put him through my extreme housebreaking program.

And now, you will see the results. [laughs]

Garfield?

-[audience claps] -[triumphant music playing]

Garfield... do you have any desire to mistreat small puppies?

[drum rolls]

-[audience gasps] -[man] Impressive.

Do you have any desire to steal food or shred drapes?

[drum rolls]

[impressed muttering]

That cat has become so well-behaved.

We have to order Dr. Whipple's DVDs, tapes and books.

But we don't have a cat.

Very good, Garfield.

Now, is there anything you'd like to do?

Yes... this.

[laughs and munches]

Catch him!

[plates smashing]

Going down!

[barks]

That cat is not well-behaved!

I thought Dr. Whipple had trained him not to do things like that!

[clears throat] Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen.

I have to go tend to...

matters.

[panting]

-Got him! -[Garfield screams]

Struggle all you want, cat. You ain't gettin' away.

There he is!

That cat who's trying to ruin my business.

Who? Me?

Sweet, well-behaved me?

But it won't work.

The public is too stupid to catch on.

[Dr. Whipple] So what if my training program doesn't work?

They still send me tons of money. [laughs]

Those idiots!

[Dr. Whipple] I got a sweet racket going here and you won't stop me.

Dr. Whipple! They're hearing you on national television.

They can't hear me. I left my microphone on stage.

They can...

[giggles]

Do you have any further words for our listening audience, Doctor?

You miserable, little...

I'm taking my cat home, thank you very much.

[barks]

[audience jeering in background]

Thanks for the lessons, Doc!

Doctor Whipple! The phone lines are jammed

with customers cancelling orders and demanding refunds.

Why didn't you teach that cat how to behave?

I did.

Unfortunately, that's how he behaves.

Garfield, I wanted to say again how sorry I am

that I sent you to that terrible doctor.

[slurping]

Oh, I'd say eight more apologies oughta do it.

[sighs]

Well, Odie. I'm home and I'm still me.

Dr. Whipple didn't whip me into shape the way he wanted.

Oh, that reminds me. It's time for his show.

The Dr. Whipple show, normally seen at this time,

will never be seen again.

Wow! This couldn't have gone better.

Instead, stay tuned for a really mindless game show

featuring people dressed as large chickens.

I was wrong. That's better.
