[theme music starts]

[Jon] Happy birthday, Liz!

Oh, Jon. You're spoiling me!

You must have better things to do with your money.

-[Odie grunts] -[Garfield] Yeah. Spend it on the cat.

[kisses]

Thank you so much, Jon. You're a darling!

-[Jon] And that's not all, Liz. -[Liz] Huh?

I've cooked a delicious four-course Italian dinner!

Oh, Jon, I love Italian food!

Once again, Liz is trying to do my job.

And this is from the three of us.

[gasps in surprise]

Garfield, Odie and me.

Jon, this is wonderful!

You all look so pretty in this picture. Especially Garfield.

The camera loves me.

It must have been quite difficult to take this, getting Garfield and Odie

to sit still long enough.

Nah. It was a piece of cake.

[Jon laughs]

[Garfield] Do not believe that man.

You have no idea what it took to get that picture.

It all started yesterday morning...

[yawns and moans contentedly]

It had been a perfect day. Woke up at ten, had breakfast, back in bed by 10:15.

Just as I was waking up for my pre-lunch snack,

Jon came in with one of "those" looks on his face...

Garfield, Odie... This is very important.

Very important is something that affects my eating or sleeping.

Tomorrow is Liz's birthday.

Not very important.

[panting]

And we're going to give her a very special gift. A family picture!

[yawns] Great. Go find a family and take one.

Here's a sketch of the photograph I have in mind.

I want the three of us with great big smiles.

[yaps]

This is silly.

No force on this planet could get me to do this.

And if you guys cooperate and we get the picture exactly right,

-there'll be extra lasagna tonight. -[Odie barks]

Okay, I am in! I sell out cheap, don't I?

Anything involving tomato sauce and I'm yours.

Okay, guys, let's go do it. It'll only take a few minutes.

"It'll only take a few minutes."

When does anything that'll only take a few minutes actually take a few minutes?

I have a timer on this so I can get in the picture before it goes off.

[laughs] Perfect.

Okay, let's set the timer on, [stammers] let's say, ten seconds.

[sighs]

[running and panting]

[camera clicks]

Oops. Looks like I set the timer wrong.

[running and panting]

[grunts]

[camera clicks]

Oh, I don't know. Looks to me like you got your best side.

This time, we should be alright. I set the timer on thirty seconds.

Okay guys! Look at the camera and say "cheese"!

Cheese!

[Garfield] Hurry up. I have a cramp in my jaw.

[Jon] Maybe I forgot to push the right button.

I'll just take a quick look!

[running and panting]

[running and panting]

[camera clicks]

I think the last shot of you was better.

[running and panting]

[running and panting]

-[Odie barks] -[Garfield] Cheese!

[bird cooing]

[camera clicks]

[running and panting]

[running and panting]

[Garfield] Cheese!

[fluttering]

[camera clicks]

[running and panting]

[running and panting]

Say "cheese"!

[Garfield] Cheddar!

[barks]

Odie? Odie stop it! Bad dog! Bad dog!

[camera clicks]

And that's pretty much how it went all day long...

[Jon] Say "cheese"!

All this talk of cheese is making me hungry.

Cheese!

[barks]

[meows]

This is an awful picture, Nermal.

What's wrong with it?

"What's wrong with it?" You're in it. That's what's wrong with it.

Why can't I be in the picture? I'm adorable.

This is a family picture, Nermal and you are not, I am pleased to say, family.

In any case, you're too close to the camera.

Oh? How far should I be?

[yells and crashes]

About that far.

[running and panting]

[running and panting]

[bored] Cheddar!

How far are you sending me this time?

Maybe you can have your picture taken with some Martians.

[laughs]

[rocket whirrs then blasts off]

[Nermal gasps then screams]

Goodbye! Farewell!

And don't come back!

[running and panting]

[running and panting]

Cheese!

Hi neighbor!

[Jon groans]

I was fixing myself a nice cup of coffee,

then I realized I was out of sugar.

I was wondering if I could borrow some from you.

Ah! We're trying to take a photo here.

[camera clicks]

Hey, good shot of the next door neighbor. Lousy shot of you.

[running and panting]

[running and panting]

[bored] Cheddar.

[bee buzzing]

[Jon screams]

Go away! Go away!

[camera clicks]

[sighs]

[Odie muttering]

[sighs]

[crying]

[struggling]

[yells in frustration]

[screams]

[cellphone rings]

Hello? Oh, hi, Liz.

Yeah, we're on for your birthday celebration tomor--

[camera clicks]

[Liz] Jon? Jon? Are you there?

He was there. His brain wasn't but he was.

[grunts]

[Odie muttering]

Hi again, neighbor. You won't believe what I found under my sink...

an old package of sugar. [laughs]

So I guess I won't be needing yours.

How's that family picture of yours coming along?

-[camera clicks] -[Jon groans]

[meows angrily]

[screams]

[laughs]

[Nermal screaming]

-[Nermal crashes] -[camera clicks]

[gasps] What part of the phrase "Don't come back" wasn't clear?

-[rocket roars] -[Nermal screaming]

If this seems drastic to you, you've obviously never met Nermal.

Trust me. It's necessary.

[running and panting]

Oh no, my nostril is itching.

[camera clicks]

Sorry.

[running and panting]

[running and panting]

[running and panting]

[runs, barks and pants]

[more panting]

[struggling and panting]

Cheddar.

Oh it figures. The weather report was for clear skies and temps in the eighties.

[screams]

[running and panting]

Say "cheese", everyone.

I keep saying cheese and not getting any.

[launch pad springs]

[Garfield] No comment.

All right now... Before I start the timer, is everything okay?

No rain showers imminent?

Not a cloud for miles.

No one's nose itches?

-I scratched mine already. How about you? -[Odie] Fine.

No one's going to interrupt us?

[groaning]

No one's going to interrupt us.

[groaning]

Fine. I'm starting the timer.

Say "cheese"!

[Vito] Did someone order

a large pizza with extra pepperoni and mushrooms?

[laughs]

[Jon screams]

[camera clicks]

[munching]

Hey, it's your fault for making me think of cheese all day.

[flying saucer whirring and beeping]

[yelling and crying]

All right! I've had enough. It's time to do something drastic.

Okay! Everyone ready?

Do you think this looks okay?

Of course it looks okay!

I am one of the greatest professional photographers.

I can make anyone look good. Even the three of you!

Oh all right... I think.

If you'd done this in the first place, it would've saved us lots of grief.

Alright, here we go.

One, two, three...

Cheese!

I need more pizza.

-[camera clicking] -Perfect! Magnificent!

I have outdone myself.

I shall make a print for your lady friend.

[sighs of relief]

And that's what it took to get the picture taken for Liz...

Well, it's a great photo and I thank you all for it.

It's just...

Something wrong with it?

Oh, no. It's great but...

Well, Jon, there's a certain expression I know you for...

a special look you often have on your face...

What look is that?

Well, it's hard to describe, but it's so typically you.

[laughs] Noooo!

[screams]

That's it, Jon! That's the look I know you for.

I know that look very well...
