[Jon and Garfield screaming]

[howling]

[Jon and Garfield panting]

[wolf growling]

[screaming]

[panting] Hey, I need a break from this, folks.

Do me a favor. Grab your remote control and pause this for a second.

[Jon screams]

Phew. Thanks.

You're probably wondering how we got into this mess, right?

Well, it all started earlier today with a picnic by the lake.

[Garfield] It was a pretty good picnic, Jon, Liz, the dog and me.

Oh, and the food was pretty good, too. I think I put it best when I said...

[burps]

I'm full. I'm full.

I'm so full I couldn't eat another bite if my life depended on it.

And for dessert, I brought along a strawberry cheesecake.

Ok, maybe one more bite.

Garfield...

Or two. Or 78.

Garfield, this cheesecake is for all of us. And it's for later.

[huffs]

[panting]

Liz and I are going for a walk around the lake.

Do not eat the cheesecake while we're gone.

And this is where Jon made his customary cheap threat. [laughs]

If you do, you can walk the 20 miles home.

Hey, that wasn't a bad one. [laughs]

Come on, Jon. I need to stretch my legs.

What do you think the chances are that cheesecake will be there

when we get back?

Oh, it'll be there.

It'll probably be inside Garfield, but it'll be there.

I was glad they went for a walk.

Now, there was nothing that could interrupt my nap. [sighs]

-[Odie panting and whining] -[Garfield screams]

Well, almost nothing.

[muttering]

I do not want to play a game.

[whining]

Oh, all right, I'll play a game.

How about we play "Go Get It"?

Yeah! Yeah!

-You don't know how to play "Go Get It"? -[Odie grunts]

Okay then, I'll teach you.

Go get it!

[barking]

It's my favorite game, "Go Get It."

If they put it on television, they'd make a fortune. [snoring]

[gasps]

That cheesecake looks mighty good.

[laughing maniacally]

No. I need to sleep and I don't want to walk home. [yawns]

I'll just skip a meal and have more rest.

[snoring]

Then again, it's only 20 miles.

[Garfield] Anyway, while I was contemplating that dilemma,

Odie was in search of his bone.

Now, I wasn't there for this part but I found out later.

He looked everywhere for it...

in bushes, behind rocks. There was no sign of it.

He was just about ready to give up when he spotted it.

[gasps]

[Odie barking]

[panting and whining]

[struggling]

[Odie mutters]

[Garfield] It was a little wolf, just a couple of weeks old.

Odie thought the wolf was very cute

but he wasn't about to let it have his bone.

[wolf crashes]

[wolf pup muttering]

[Odie humming]

[Garfield] Well, he wasn't

until he realized how hungry the little wolf was.

[whines]

[Odie muttering]

-[wolf pup mutters] -[Odie mutters]

[Garfield] Odie discovered the joys of sharing your food with someone else.

I'll have to try that some time, maybe not this millennium.

After a while, Odie realized that there wasn't much nourishment

in that old bone.

The little wolf still looked hungry. Where to get food, he wondered.

Where to get food.

But of course, there was only one answer.

Odie brought the little wolf back to the picnic area

where I was in my usual habitat... dreamland.

[snoring]

Odie usually doesn't do sneaky things but I guess hanging around with me

for all these years has had its effect on him.

[sniffs]

Meanwhile, Jon and Liz were finishing their hike...

[Liz] Don't you want to get back while there's still a chance

of a small piece of cheesecake?

You know, sometimes I don't have enough faith in Garfield.

He's basically a good cat. You watch. I'll bet the cheesecake is untouched.

[Garfield] Jon was wrong.

It had been touched all right, but just not by me.

[Liz] Good... because I can't wait to have some of that cheesecake.

[Garfield] Odie probably wasn't worried about what they'd do to him.

He was worried about the little wolf.

-[Odie muttering] -[wolf pup muttering]

-[Odie hushes] -[wolf pup muttering]

Just give me a small piece of cheesecake. I don't want to--

-[Jon gasps] -It will be small.

-About the size of a crumb. -[Jon snarls]

-[Jon] Garfield! -[Garfield] Yikes!

How could you? How could you eat that entire cheesecake while we were away?

[gasps]

I didn't eat the cheesecake, honest!

On my honor as an overweight pussycat,

I did not eat one bite of that cheesecake.

Did I eat that cheesecake? No! Amazingly, I did not.

You're lying, Garfield. If you didn't, who did?

[Jon] Odie would never do anything that sneaky.

[Odie moans]

[Liz] Jon, you're not going to make him walk home?

No, but I should. I'll figure out a suitable punishment when we get home.

[sighs]

Hey, this feels like we didn't eat all the food.

How did that happen?

[Odie grunts anxiously]

[Garfield] We got the car all packed up and we headed back to town...

It was probably about then that the little wolf's mother arrived.

She must have picked up the scent or something.

She was pretty determined to get her baby back,

no matter how far she had to follow.

All the way home, I was angry...

I'm innocent, I tell you. I never touched that cheesecake.

The one time I didn't take the food and I'm being punished for it.

[Odie laughs]

[Garfield] Jon dropped Liz off at her place and then we headed for home.

I'll be over after I finish some chores.

[Garfield] And someone else was heading for our home, too.

[wolf snarling]

Of course, Jon was still mad at me.

How could you?

-[Garfield] I didn't. -[Odie grunts]

-[wolf pup muttering] -[Odie groans]

[Garfield gasps]

Odie was worried he'd get in trouble for giving the cheesecake to the wolf...

or maybe that somebody would put

his new friend in a zoo.

[Jon] How could you?

[Garfield] When nobody was looking,

he snuck the little wolf out...

[panting]

-[Odie muttering] -[wolf pup barking]

[wolf pup muttering]

[Odie muttering]

Odie told the little wolf to stay there in the garage and he'd bring him food.

[wolf pup barking]

He was probably gonna borrow another cheesecake and they'd blame it on me.

[Odie groans]

[Odie muttering]

[Odie muttering]

[Odie barks]

[gasps]

[sighs]

[gasps]

[slurping]

-Oh! -[Odie laughs]

[groans]

[Garfield] I guess it was about then that our visitor arrived.

About the time I thought

Jon had forgiven me for the cheesecake incident.

[Jon] Dinner, Garfield!

Well, it's about time. Maybe Jon finally realized I'm innocent.

Of this, anyway.

I'm having a porterhouse steak, baked potato with everything,

glazed carrots, sautéed mushrooms and a dinner roll.

You get Kitty Krunch dry imitation cat food.

It's not fair. I'm being punished for eating an entire cheesecake

and I didn't even get to eat the entire cheesecake.

That's all you're getting for the rest of the month.

Oh, I'll bet Odie would enjoy that yummy piece of steak.

-Odie, here boy! -He's just doing this to torment me.

-It's working. I'm tormented. -[wolf snarls]

Come on, Odie! Come enjoy the steak.

-[Jon gasps] -I didn't!

-[wolf gobbling] -[Jon screaming]

[snarling]

It's a w... w... w...

The word you're looking for is "wolf."

[snarling]

What do we do, Garfield?

I think it's obvious what we do.

-[Garfield] We run! -[Jon screaming]

[Jon and Garfield screaming]

So, that's how we wound up being chased around Jon's house by a savage wolf.

Do you understand now? No, no, no! Don't unpause the video!

[Garfield] Too late! [screaming]

-[wolf snarling] -[Jon screaming]

[gasps]

Mama?

[wolf snarling]

It looks like this is it for us, Garfield. Do you have any final regrets?

Yes. I regret that I didn't eat the cheesecake.

-[snarling] -[wolf pup] Mama!

[wolf gasps]

[slurping]

[Jon and Garfield gasp]

[Odie grunts]

-[wolf snarls] -[Jon and Garfield scream]

[Jon and Garfield laugh]

I've arranged for the pet control people to take them back to the woods.

Thanks, Liz.

By the way, I examined the little wolf cub.

He had strawberry cheesecake in the fur around his mouth.

You mean, he... not Garfield?

Just because I can't talk, doesn't mean you can't listen to me.

Come on, Garfield, I think I owe you a good meal to say I'm sorry.

I think about a ten-lasagna apology is in order... or make that eleven.

Bye bye!

Bye!
