[salsa music]

[Jon] Garfield!

Are you in the kitchen?

Oh, there you are.

I wanted to tell you I'm going to the market.

Oh, great.

Bring me back one of everything.

Large economy size.

-See you in a bit. -Okay.

[salsa music]

Oh, make sure you keep an eye out for...

Oh, that's silly.

I was going to say mice.

Who's not hiding?

But we haven't had a mouse for months.

See you later!

[salsa music]

Hey, you're the owner of this...

this house?

I think so.

My cat might disagree.

Well, I'm Pulver,

of Pulver Extermination.

We have reports of mice in this neighborhood.

[laughing] Not in my home.

[laughing]

Well, I doubt that.

But if you do see any mice, give us a call.

We're fast and we're ruthless.

I'll take your card but I won't need it.

Not with Garfield on the job.

[salsa music]

I could swear I'm hearing the kind of music

mice like to dance to.

Squeak, another one of your relatives just arrived.

Hey, family is family.

Okay with you, Garf?

As long as they don't touch my food

or interrupt my sleep, they're welcome.

Great. Who is it?

My uncle Howard?

My nephew Morris?

It's your cousin Max.

My cousin Max?

Is something wrong with cousin Max?

Oh, my cousin Max is bad news.

And he hates cats.

Come on! You're funning me.

Nobody hates cats.

Squeak!

What are you doing with...

that cat?

Don't worry, cousin!

I'll protect you!

I know martial arts.

-[Chinese music] -Hiya! Yaaaa!

Hiya! Yaaaa!

Stay tuned, folks.

We may finally have a character on the show

more annoying than Nermal.

I don't have to be protected from Garfield.

He's my buddy.

What? "Your buddy?"

Are you out of your mouse mind? He's a cat!

You know what cats do to mice.

[salsa music]

Yeah!

They do a mean salsa dance with them.

No! They eat them!

What salsa?

You've got a lot to learn, Squeak.

Well, what should I do now?

Eat or sleep?

Sleep!

I'm telling you, Max.

Garfield's not like other cats.

He doesn't eat mice.

Oh? Well then, what does he eat?

Uh, everything else.

I can see you need a serious lesson, cousin.

Come on.

-There's got to be a player somewhere. -[snoring]

Hey! Watch this, cousin.

You're about to learn a valuable lesson.

Cats. What are they good for?

They lie around all day sleeping and clawing...

[Garfield] So far, no argument.

And then there's the most horrifying thing they do.

Cats eat mice!

Argument.

And they do it in the cruelest way possible.

A cat catches a mouse.

Does he just eat it and get it over with?

No, he has to play with his food, draw out the agony.

So, he lets the mouse go, then catches it again.

Then he lets the mouse go, then he catches it again.

Oh! Turn it off!

[crying] Turn it off!

It's for your own good, cous'.

Then, when the mouse thinks he's gotten away,

thinks his life has been spared,

the cat strikes!

[terrified gasping]

No, no!

Turn it off!

Turn it off!

[crying] Garfield wouldn't do something like that!

He wouldn't.

He's a cat!

Cats eat mice!

Are you going to let this happen?

Are you going to do nothing

while this cat sharpens his claws and his teeth?

I've seen what he can do to a ten-pound standing rib roast.

Imagine what he could do to us!

I don't know about you,

but I'm not going to stand around and become rodent-flavored cat food!

And me neither!

[hubbub]

[snoring]

Oh! Are you moving or am I?

I think it's me.

Hey, guys! You want to explain this?

Meow!

Apparently not.

Okay, I don't know what this is all about,

but I'm not letting a bunch of rodents throw me out of my own home.

If you think you're getting me out--

-[punch] -[screaming]

You're making a very accurate prediction.

You're not getting us, cat.

Come near us again and you'll be sorry!

[cheering]

I've got to do something about this

but not now.

I'm going to take the bus into town and go to Vito's.

I'm on my break, cat.

Can you wait for five minutes?

Considering pizza is involved, no.

But...

I guess I have to.

[cheering]

[Squeak] Unless you're a lasagna or other fattening food,

Garfield is harmless.

He's a cat

and cats are not harmless.

Relax, Squeak.

With him gone, we have nothing to worry about.

Mice!

My house is full of mice!

Nothing to worry about?

Everyone hide!

Garfield! Garfield!

Oh! He's no use!

How am I going to get rid of these...?

[chattering teeth] Garfield would've protected us.

Cats don't protect mice.

Besides, what can that guy do to us with no cat around?

Mr. Pulver? How soon can you be here?

Yeah, that'll be fast enough.

[screaming]

[screaming]

Nothing to worry about because there's no cat around, huh?

Relax! I can handle this guy.

Hey! You get out of here or I'll have to get rough with you.

[Chinese music]

Hiya! Yaaa!

Hiya! Ayaya!

One of Odie's toys! Maybe...

[hoover sound]

[grunting]

Garfield! Garfield! Where are you?

I hope at least he's reading the comic pages.

Garfield! You've got to help us!

There's this exterminator!

He's got all my friends!

Your friends threw me out of my own house.

I know, I know.

They didn't mean it.

Well, they did mean it,

but they were scared and...

Relax, relax.

While I was waiting for the bus,

I figured out how I was going to get back inside.

You got that for Halloween last year, didn't you?

Yeah, but it didn't work so well.

I didn't get any candy, just cheese.

Okay, now, you wait here.

[laughing] That big meanie doesn't stand a chance.

I think I've got them all now and...

Yoo hoo!

[heroic music]

Is the vacuum on your back as big as the one in your head?

[laugh track]

That's a big one.

[laughing]

I'm going to need another canister to hold him.

[humming]

[ominous music]

[train whistle]

Yoo hoo!

And for him,

I'm going to need my machine

to be on max power!

Ladies and gentlemen,

a brief chase scene.

[ominous music]

[hoover sound]

[Mr. Pulver] Run!

Run like the rat you are!

There's nowhere to hide, mouse.

Hey, pal, you missed one!

What's that?

One I missed.

I'll capture him, then I'll get you.

Hmm, guess that cat changed his mind.

It's that toy mouse again.

What's this cable attached to it?

[engine starting]

[screaming]

Stop! I can't unstrap this device!

Help! Stop!

[screaming]

[mice cheering]

Garfield! You saved us!

Guess we were wrong about you.

Yeah. We sure were.

[Max] Yeah, Garfield.

I'm not really good at saying I'm sorry.

Oh, you just need to practice.

You've got to say it more often.

[laughing] Hey, we were thinking.

Since you're already dressed for it,

we'd like to make you an honorary mouse.

[cheering]

Oh, well...

Just so long as I don't have to eat any really stinky cheese.

[cheerful music]

I don't know where that exterminator went,

but he did a great job.

I'll bet there isn't a mouse within miles.

I'll be back in a while.

[salsa music]

Anything I need to get?

A list of everything. Okay.

[salsa music]

You think we'll ever see that exterminator guy again?

Probably not.

I made a mistake.

That wasn't the bus to Vito's Pizza.

It wasn't?

Where was it going?

Well, let's just put it this way.

Down there, they dance like this.
