[upbeat music]

[joyful music]

[Jon] Mr. Allwork, , I'm only a few days behind in my payments.

I'm waiting for a check from my employer.

My employer is waiting for a check from you, Arbuckle.

Don't make me sue you.

[Odie muttering]

Jon's late on a bill for something or other.

That guy came by to demand payment.

You'd really sue me?

Over such a small amount of money?

I'm a lawyer, Arbuckle.

It's my job to sue people.

Listen to my schedule for this afternoon.

"One o'clock, sue someone.

Two o'clock, sue someone.

Three o'clock, go visit my cousin Sue.

Three thirty, sue Sue.

Four o'clock,

stop at the market, buy a gallon of milk.

Four thirty, sue the market, the dairy and the cow the milk came from."

Any questions?

Nope.

Tell me, Arbuckle.

How is it that you're always low on cash?

Here you are, Mr. Arbuckle.

Twelve pepperoni pizzas for your pussycat.

[Jon sighing] Any questions?

[TV] This is a baby kangaroo.

Not as cute as me.

And this is a baby panda.

Definitely not as cute as me!

[Odie muttering]

What are you complaining about?

I gave you a crust.

-[Nermal] Not as cute as me. -[Odie muttering]

All right. Then, half a crust.

Guys, I need to make some fast money.

I'm going to have a garage sale.

I need things to sell.

Garfield, find things that we want to get rid of,

things that are utterly and totally useless.

I love watching nature films on TV!

After we drop my son at home, take me to the courthouse.

Very well, Mr. Allwork.

Who are you suing today?

I don't know, but I'll find someone.

Dad, could we maybe do something?

I mean, you and me?

I have work to do.

Besides, I just picked you up

at your baseball game. -Yeah.

And you sued the umpire.

Oh, there's that Arbuckle fellow I may be suing.

He seems to be having some sort of yard sale.

Daws, stop for a moment or I'll sue you.

Let me sell Nermal.

Let me sell Nermal, please!

Maybe I can get three dollars for this old lamp.

Why won't you let me sell Nermal?

While I go look for more junk, put price tags on everything.

And remember, price things based on what they're really worth.

There you go, Odie.

What you're really worth.

[laughing]

Two cents.

A lot of worthless junk.

I may have to sue him over this.

Hey, Dad!

Look at the neat puppy!

He's real cute.

And he's only two cents.

You want him, son?

Maybe I can negotiate the price down to a penny.

-[Garfield laughing] -Please!

Oh, all right!

Arbuckle! I'm buying this dog.

[Odie muttering]

Sorry, Mr. Allwork.

Odie's not for sale.

Yes, he is.

He has a price tag

and I have agreed to pay the price specified on that tag.

That's a legally binding contract.

Honor it or I'll sue you.

I owe two cents.

Do you have change for a hundred? [laughing]

Oh, and I'll need a receipt.

Oh!

[Odie moaning]

[Jon] I know he had a price tag on him but it was just a joke.

A joke?

Sorry, Arbuckle.

I know you're attached to this dog,

but my son wants it.

And I always give my son anything he wants.

[Jack] Yeah.

As long as it doesn't take any of your time.

[Odie whining and barking]

Garfield, have you thought of anything you can do

to make this situation better?

I marked Nermal down to a penny.

Too bad about Odie. I always liked him.

He was little damp around the tongue but he was a good dog.

Hey, Squeak, you're going to finish that piece of cheese?

I was planning. Why?

Because Jon's not going to feed me

until I figure out how to get Odie back.

Squeak, do you think you and the mouse network

could figure out where they took him?

Leave it to me, Garf.

I'd do anything for you.

Anything?

Make that almost anything.

[mice squeaking]

[mice squeaking]

[mice squeaking]

[mice squeaking]

"247 Barrister Lane."

That's in the fancy part of town.

Aw! Figures. I got it from an upper-class rodent.

So how do you figure to get the guy to give Odie back?

I shall employ a brilliant plan.

I hope I have one by the time I get there.

[Odie whimpering]

Hi, boy.

How about if I throw the stick and you fetch it?

[Odie whimpering]

Want to go for a run?

[Odie whimpering]

Nice place Odie gets to live in.

If you're wondering,

I still don't have that brilliant plan.

[doorbell]

Oh, it's you.

Did you come to try to get the dog back?

Well, Mr. Allwork gave explicit instructions.

The dog now belongs to his son Jack, and that's final.

[doorbell]

No. You're not a little girl come to play with Master Jack.

You are that pussycat again.

Good day.

[doorbell]

Hey, Mr. Butler, sir.

It's me, Vito,

here to deliver a pizza to the little boy

and the puppala with the wet tongue.

No. You're not a pizza delivery man.

You are still that pussycat.

Good day!

[doorbell]

No.

You're not the abominable snowman.

Hey, it was worth a try.

You're that pussycat again.

You force me to use our state-of-the-art security system,

which fortunately includes an abominable snowman catapult.

Jon needs to get one of those.

You never know when an abominable snowman

is here to come around.

I don't know how to get Odie back.

I don't even know where I got those costumes.

He left that upstairs window open.

Okay, it's not a brilliant plan, but it's close.

-[Odie whimpering] -You don't want to do anything with me.

[Odie muttering]

I didn't need a dog for that.

I could get that from my dad.

[Odie muttering]

You miss where you used to live, don't you?

[Odie barking]

Well, that's where you should be. I'll take you home.

[Odie barking]

Well, it appears that pussycat

had the good sense to give up. [glass breaking]

Now, to find Odie.

Oh, no, he did not!

He's climbing into the master bedroom.

Now, to run from the butler.

[suspenseful music]

[donkey braying]

[duck quacking]

[penguin squawking]

[Garfield laughing]

No, I'm going to sue you and that's that.

Fine, see you for dinner Sunday night, Mom.

[suspenseful music]

[screaming]

What does this mean?

I don't know, but I'll bet I get sued.

I'm dreadfully sorry, Mr. Allwork.

This pussycat breached security,

and now I see that young Jack is missing.

Also, the dog you bought him.

Missing?

Well, it's obvious where they are.

Get the car out, Daws.

And you, cat, you're coming with me.

Nothing's going right.

Even with the garage sale, I still don't have money to pay that bill.

Garfield's gone.

And I may have lost Odie forever.

-[barking] -Maybe not forever.

[joyous barking]

Odie, you're back!

[laughing] I'm never going to let you get away from me again.

You'll have to. They don't let you have dogs in prison.

Mr. Allwork.

I bought that dog fair and square!

Dad!

Not now, Jack.

You stole him. I'm calling the police

and having you charged with grand theft puppy.

-But Dad! -Quiet, Jack!

Don't make me sue my own son.

I'll do it if I have to...

[muttering]

Hey, let the kid get a word in edgewise.

Dad, I gave the dog back to him.

Why? I thought you wanted that dog.

What is it you really want?

Why won't he answer me?

What is it he really wants?

Whatever it is, I can afford it.

A dog is great,

but he's no substitute for a parent.

Yeah, I suppose you're right.

Mr. Allwork, you asked me to remind you

those people you needed to sue.

They can wait, Daws.

I need to spend more time with my son.

What's it going to be, son?

Ball game? Movie?

Anything!

[joyful music]

Arbuckle? That bill you owe, don't worry.

We'll work out something.

And thanks.

Thank you.

I still have to figure out a way to make some money.

I know, I know.

You're going to suggest selling Nermal.

-[Odie whimpering in surprise] -No?

I'm sorry, Garfield.

Well, what is your idea?

We'll give him away and charge people to take him back!

We'll make millions!

Millions, I tell you!

Millions!
