[ominous music playing]

[Garfield] Jon's cousin passed away and he left him something in his will.

[howling]

Boy, I hope it's edible, and there's lots of it.

[slurps]

[gasps]

[hinges creak]

Ah, you must be Jon Arbuckle.

We've been waiting for you. Do come in.

-[bell tolls] -Thanks!

I'm Mr. Connors.

I am the attorney

representing the estate of your cousin Ichabod.

[Jon] I hope we're in time for the reading of the will.

[Connors] We've been waiting for you.

[Jon] Is Doc Boy here yet?

Your brother is here and waiting for the will.

He does ask that people not address him as "Doc Boy."

I'll try very hard to respect his wishes.

Doc Boy, Doc Boy, Doc Boy!

[giggles]

Don't call me "Doc Boy"!

Okay, Doc Boy.

That's Jon trying very hard to respect his brother's wishes.

Gentlemen, it is sad that your cousin Ichabod has left us.

He was the greatest guy in the whole world.

He was a prince among men.

Did you ever meet him?

[whispering] No, did you?

Your cousin left an estate worth a fortune.

He also left his will in the form

of this DVD he recorded.

[buzzing]

-[Doc Boy] He left his will... -[Jon] ... as a DVD?

Couldn't we watch cartoons instead?

Hello to my relatives.

If you're watching this DVD, then I'm gone.

But I wanted to make this for you, Jon and Doc Boy.

Don't call me "Doc Boy"!

As you probably know, my estate is worth a fortune.

Since I never got to meet either of you, I couldn't decide who should inherit it.

How about leaving it to a cat?

So I decided to come up with a test... a test to see which of you was the bravest

and therefore the most deserving.

Some people say my house is haunted.

-[all gasp] -Maybe it is.

I want you two to stay here.

Whoever lasts the longest gets my fortune.

The first one to leave is out of the will,

-and he gets nothing! -[gasp]

Have a nice night...

and watch out for ghosts!

[laughs]

Those are the terms of the will.

Please come with me.

[all gasp]

You can stay in this room. Jon will be down the hall.

He was kidding about the ghost stuff, right?

Yeah [laughs nervously]

We always heard Cousin Ichabod liked playing tricks on people.

I'm just the lawyer.

I enforce the rules. But, um, just between us...

even for a million dollars, I wouldn't spend one night in this house!

[screams]

[door slams shut and locks]

-I'm starting to feel that way myself. -[Odie whines]

-Well, Jon. Looks like we're really, um... -[Jon's teeth chatter]

spending the night in a--

-[gulps] -[howling]

...haunted house.

Yeah...

Well, at least it isn't dark and all stormy with lightning and thunder.

[thunder resonates]

[screaming]

[howls]

[yells]

Wow, you have a great future as a weatherman on television.

Well... maybe we should go to our room.

Yeah. Hey, is it okay if Odie keeps me company, Jon?

[Jon laughs]

If he wants... Good night.

[all yell]

-This is a nice room. -[Garfield panting]

We have a nice bed, a private bathroom, a TV set. What more could anyone want?

[Garfield giggles]

Oh, right... Food.

There are scarier things than ghosts. Like lack of dinner.

If you want food, Garfield, you're going to have to go find it.

You mean... alone? [gasps]

[panting]

[pounding]

[screams]

[growling]

What was that?

[sighs] Oh, it's you.

Hey, don't worry. I'll find some food to put in you.

-[stomach grumbles] -[laughs]

[armor squeaks]

Did you hear something, Odie?

[moans]

There are moments in this world that call for bravery.

[zany music playing]

[panting]

That was tough.

But no one will be able to get in here.

[mumbles]

[voice] Yes... but now no one can get out!

-[skeleton laughs] -[Doc Boy screams]

There must be a kitchen in this place, somewhere.

[footsteps resonate]

[footsteps continue resonating]

[gasps]

[laughs]

[growls]

[joyful music plays]

[screams]

[panting]

[panting] Oh, paws. Don't fail me now!

[whooping]

Have a nice ride!

[sighs]

Oh, my! Where's the room with Jon in it?

Hey, mice!

Mice like me because I don't eat them.

Hi, guys... I'm lost!

Could you tell me where the master bedroom is?

Or better still, the kitchen.

[screams]

-Those aren't mice! Those are bats! -[chirping]

[screaming]

-[Doc Boy screaming] -I was wrong. You can get out!

[Jon] That's Odie! Odie?

[gasp]

-[monster growls] -[Jon screams]

Odie?

[screams]

Odie? [screams]

[screams] Again!

[chirping]

[panting] I've got to get rid of these bats somehow.

[in a Dracula voice] If you are looking for that handsome pussycat,

he went... that way!

[panting]

[skeleton] I won't hurt you, little dog!

[howling]

Odie! What are you running from?

-[Odie yells] -[skeleton laughs]

You know, Odie...

that's a very good thing to run from.

Watch how I do it.

[screaming]

[barking]

Odie? Garfield? Doc Boy?

[moans]

[shrieks]

-[screaming] -[cackling]

[whispering] I think we lost him... for now.

But he'll catch us if we...

That is, if I don't come up with a brilliant plan.

[laughs]

[yelling]

I think I lost them.

[screams]

I bet that's the guy behind all this.

[screams]

I recognize those sounds of pain!

Doc Boy! Are you okay?

Doc Boy! Speak to me!

[moaning]

Oh, poor Doc Boy!

Don't call me "Doc Boy"!

[laughing]

[door slams]

[groaning]

[screaming]

-Okay, keep it steady, Odie. -[moans]

This is gonna be great.

[growling] I'm an evil ghost

here to scare you.

[moaning]

Come on! Be scared.

Why aren't you scared?

Oops! Looks like I'm a naked ghost.

-You can't get out! You're trapped! -[screaming]

There must be something we can do.

[groans]

[armor rattles]

Odie! This suit of armor thing! It does everything I do. Watch this.

[cackling]

Nowhere to run! No way out!

[growling]

[screaming]

[power goes down]

I figured it out, Odie!

These are robot ghosts, like in an amusement park.

All except for this guy, who must be the guy behind it all.

He set it all up to scare Jon and his brother out of the house,

so he could keep cousin Ichabod's fortune.

[growls] Really?

Yeah, I learned this kind of thing, watching cartoons on television.

-[dramatic] And now, for the unmasking. -[drum rolls]

It has to be

that lawyer guy!

[all gasp]

-It can't be! -But it is!

[in unison] Cousin Ichabod!

-The reading of the will... -We thought you were gone!

Fooled you, didn't I?

[cackling]

I couldn't figure out

which one of you would get my estate,

so I set this up as a little test!

-Well, don't keep us in suspense. -Yeah! Who won?

Neither of you!

You were both too cowardly.

I told you. Leave everything to a cat.

See you later, cousins!

[cackling]

Boy, the looks

on your cowardly faces!

Watch this.

[yells]

[birds chirping]

[muttering]

No, it has not all been a waste of time

because I'm going to get something useful out of it.

[groans]

[Garfield sighs]

A little lower.

[sighs]

Wonderful, wonderful!

This is better than a mansion and a fortune any day.

[yells]

Right there, right there!
