[theme music starts]

[presenter] ...and the halibut is the largest

of the flatfish, found in both the North Pacific and...

Garfield, I'm impressed.

I didn't think you liked educational programs and yet here you are,

fascinated by one and unable to take your eyes off the set.

Fish! Beautiful, delicious fish.

Halibut can grow as large as 900 pounds, like this one.

[panting]

Get me that fish! Get me that fish and an equal weight of French fries.

-[phone rings] -[Jon] I'll get it.

I must have seafood. I crave seafood. I need seafood.

-[Odie] Oh! -[Jon] Oh. Hi, Liz!

-[Odie] Ta-dah! -[Garfield gasps]

"Captain Barnacle's ocean treat doggie delight."

This is not seafood. This is a can.

See, Odie? A can. Put it in the water. See if it swims.

[Jon] Your fish?

In this house?

Fish? Did he say fish? He said fish.

The man said fish. I heard him say fish.

[Liz] It's just while I'm out of town visiting my mother...

I need someone to take care of them.

I don't think that would be such a good idea, Liz...

-[Liz] Why not? -Well, for one thing,

Garfield's putting out tartar sauce and lemons.

Should I bread them? Fry them? Scampi is so delicious.

Come on, Jon. You can get Garfield to behave himself.

I'll bring my fish over in the morning.

If you say so, Liz. Bye.

Garfield! Liz is leaving her pet fish here while she's out of town.

You will leave them alone or else.

Have no fear, Arbuckle. I'll behave.

I won't eat Liz's fish. I'll treat them with total respect.

[Odie muttering]

Not now, Odie. Can't you see I'm busy lying through my teeth?

I'm having trouble sleeping. Maybe I'll try counting sheep.

One, two,

three, four. [sighs] This isn't working.

I know.

One, two, three. [yawns] Four.

This is so much better.

Five. [snoring] Five...

[rooster crowing]

I didn't know you owned so many fish, Liz.

[snoring]

[Liz] It's been a hobby of mine for years.

Three schools are enough for me. [yawns]

I would like some more trout, though...

[Jon struggling]

Oh, sounds like fish.

Wow!

That... is the most beautiful buffet I've ever seen in my life.

See you in a week.

Have a good trip. And don't worry about your fish.

I had a long talk with Garfield and I have every confidence he'll leave them alone.

[horn honking]

[laughs] I've got to stop Garfield from eating all her fish.

Now, would you be a better appetizer or a main course?

You look more like a side dish. Ooh!

And you're kind of sweet looking. I'll save you for dessert.

[Jon snarls]

You will not lay a paw on Liz's fish.

Of course not. That's why I have a net.

Do not touch the fish.

Do you hear me? Do not touch the fish!

If you harm so much as a fin on any of them,

you'll never see lasagna in this house again.

[Jon snarls]

Gee. He sounds like he means it.

All right then. I can control myself.

I will leave this room and not come back while the fish are here.

[snarls, sighs]

[gulps]

-[clock ticking] -Five seconds.

That's three seconds longer than I thought I'd last.

You'll do for a start.

Mmm. Not bad.

[shrieks] Hey!

I didn't think one little fish could be so fattening.

Woah! Oh no!

That was a puffer fish! The kind that swells up.

Help! Somebody help me! Or put me in a parade or something!

[yelps]

[screams]

[bounces]

I'd better watch what I eat.

Hmm.

I don't know what kind of fish you are but you look very tasty.

-[screaming] -[electricity buzzing]

[birds chirping]

[laughs]

-[fish clapping] -[Garfield] Boy!

[gasps]

[laughs]

"Brazilian Electric Dancing Fish,

similar to an electric eel." Yikes!

Okay... it's seafood I want and it's seafood I'm gonna get.

I need a menu.

[snarls]

"Canadian spritzer fish." Wonder what he does. [screams]

Okay... now we know what a Canadian spritzer fish does.

[crashes]

"Australian seltzer fish."

Let's see what it says about the Australian seltzer fish.

[screams]

"The Australian seltzer fish is a close relative

of the Canadian spritzer fish." I shoulda known.

[crashes]

All right! Your turn, greenie!

[laughs] Let's see what you are.

Ah, here you are!

"Japanese Judo Fish." Oh no.

Oof. [laughs]

[fish] Hi-yah!

[Garfield shouting]

[screaming]

-[Garfield panting] -[fish laughing evilly]

-Oh, yeah? Well you won't laugh at this. -[fish screams]

Hey, he wasn't bad.

Let's see what he is. Or uh... was.

"The Flying Fish of Framistan"! [gasps]

Help! Help! Help!

No, don't worry, Liz. Garfield isn't bothering your fish.

-[Garfield screams] -In fact, I just saw him flying by.

-[Odie grunts] -[gasps] Flying by?

[Odie howling]

[Garfield screaming]

[screaming]

[screaming]

[Garfield] Woah!

Yum.

I just figured it out. All of these things that are happening to me...

they couldn't happen. This has to be a dream.

[screaming]

Oh, I sure hope this is a dream.

[bounces]

[sighs and gasps]

All rise for his honor,

the honorable Oliver Octavius.

Oh, my...

Order in the fish court!

Bailiff, who is on trial today?

Garfield the Cat, Your Honor.

Either this is a dream or I've somehow learned to breathe underwater.

Garfield the Cat is accused of eating fish.

-[jury gasps] -[Garfield] Hey!

Garfield Cat,

how do you plead?

Well, maybe I ate a few fish...

Seven thousand three hundred and twenty-two fish.

Well, that's not a lot. I mean, some of them were minnows and shrimp.

You... you fish-eater, you!

Yes, yes, I admit it! I ate the fish! I ate a lot of fish!

I even ate fish with chips! Fish with chips and malt vinegar!

If I spare your life, will you promise never to eat another fish?

I said, if I spare your life,

will you promise never to eat another fish?

I'm thinking it over!

I've heard enough!

[hammer hits oyster]

[judge] Jury, what do you say?

-[jury] Guilty! -[Garfield gasps]

[judge] Garfield Cat, you have been found guilty

by a jury of your dinner.

I hereby sentence you to...

Larry.

[hammer hits oyster]

"Larry"? Who's Larry?

He's Larry.

[shrieks]

No! No! Help!

-Help! Help! [sighs] -[doorbell rings]

[Jon] Oh, hi, Liz. Come on in.

-[Liz] I brought my fish as we discussed. -Her fish?

[Jon] We'll put them on the table.

Do you think two goldfish are safe in the house where Garfield lives?

Sure. Garfield won't bother them.

Come on. Let me show you what I'm working on in my studio.

She only has two goldfish? [laughs]

Pretty cute goldfish.

Well, it's time for breakfast! Time to make a sandwich.

Tartar sauce sandwich.

Delicious. Come on...

you didn't really think I was going to eat Liz's goldfish, did you?

That's too rotten even for me. In fact, I'm giving up eating fish altogether.

After that dream, I'll never eat another fish again.

Until next week.
