[snoring] [clock ringing]

[upbeat music]

[oriental music]

[woman] Since half past the beginning of time,

men have had wishes.

Dreams of wealth, power,

love and all that can be desired.

Tales are told of magic forces

that turn wishes into reality.

One such tale involves a bejeweled bottle,

a magic genie and three wishes.

It is a tale told time and again.

And told this day about a man

named Jon Arbuckle...

[fire crackling]

[Odie barks playfully]

Odie seems to be having a good time.

[Jon] Don't go too far, Odie!

How are you enjoying the beach, Garfield?

Oh, it's not so bad,

especially when you bring everything you need from home.

You can do this if you have a truck...

[eating] ...and a ten-mile extension cord.

[laughing]

[Odie panting]

[joyful music]

[Scheherazade] Down the beach, the puppy dog was there

when a glistening bottle washed up on the shore.

[Odie sniffing and muttering]

It was so attractive, so magical,

that he had to take it back to his master.

Sorry, I have to get back to the clinic.

-Bye, Liz. -[Garfield snoring]

[Odie mutters]

What did you find, boy?

I can't make out most of the writing but there's something on here about...

"unleash the genie"...

"three wishes"...

You find silly stuff on the beach.

You sure do.

-[dropping sound] -[crash]

[disappointed moan]

[snoring]

[Garfield and Jon] Three wishes?

[Jon] Give it to me!

[overlapping chatter]

[Jon] I got it!

Garfield, do you think it's possible? Three wishes!

I know just what I'd wish for.

So do I!

Riches beyond compare...

[Jon laughing madly]

Fame all around the world...

-And success in everything I do. -[applause]

[heroic music]

[laughing]

Lasagna...

More lasagna...

And even more lasagna.

[struggling]

What are we waiting for?

No, no. Not here.

Let's take it home and open it there.

Oh, wait. What about the...

Never mind.

We can just wish for new ones!

[Odie mutters]

[Scheherazade] Jon Arbuckle hurried home,

and there, he decided to do a bit of research

before uncorking the bejeweled bottle.

[Garfield] So with my first wish,

I'll wish for a million more wishes.

And just before I use all of them up,

I'll wish for another million, and then another, and then another.

It says the legend of the genie in the bottle

goes back thousands of years.

"Some genies are good and some are bad."

[intriguing music]

"To get rid of a bad genie..."

[Garfield] Never mind that.

I have my first hundred and ninety-three wishes all set to go.

[Jon] All right.

Here goes...

[groaning]

[Odie whines]

"Awww" is right, pup.

I haven't been so disappointed since Jon made eggplant parmesan.

Well, it was kind of a silly dream.

Imagine... a magic genie in a bottle.

Come on.

I'll go make us some eggplant parmesan.

[gasp]

[thunder]

[terrified moans]

Who released me from the prison of the Bejeweled Bottle?

I did! I did! My name is Jon Arbuckle!

And for my first wish, I would like...

Silence! I am Omar!

Omar?

What kind of name is that for a genie?

Thank you for releasing me, Jon Arbuckle.

And now, you shall grant me three wishes!

Me? No, you've got it backwards.

You're supposed to grant me three wishes.

[yelling] Silence!

-[horrified sounds] -Are you going to grant me three wishes

or do I have to turn you into a frog?

[stuttering] What's your first wish?

I want...

I want lasagna.

Hey! He took my wish.

Lasagna?

I have been locked in that bottle for hundreds of years.

I'm hungry, get me lasagna!

Fifty pounds of it!

Lasagna?

Well, at least I know how to get that.

Hey, tall, dark and smokey!

You have all these magic powers.

How come Jon has to get you what you want?

I like being waited on.

Okay. That I understand.

Vito? Jon Arbuckle.

I need fifty pounds of lasagna.

That's right. Half my usual order.

-[truck horn] -[tires screeching]

In no time at all, Omar's first wish was granted.

[eating sounds]

[Garfield] Are you going to eat that?

[Omar] Yes.

[yelling] Arbuckle!

Yes, your genieness, sir?

For my second wish, I want dancing girls.

Dancing girls?

I can't find dancing girls.

You want to be a frog?

I can find dancing girls.

Dancing girls...

Where am I going to get dancing girls?

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Hi, Liz, it's me.

Liz, would you like to do me a big favor?

[Scheherazade] Soon, Omar's second wish

was granted, sort of...

[oriental music]

Very good, very good!

I vote yes!

Jon, remind me again why I'm doing this.

So your boyfriend doesn't get turned into a frog.

Oh, I knew there had to be a good reason.

Omar, sir...

Could we get your third wish over with now?

Certainly.

For my third wish, I would like...

[laughing]

A million more wishes!

[laugh]

He keeps stealing my wishes.

I want more food, more dancing girls!

And buy me videogames!

And cluck like a chicken!

-[laughing] -[Jon cackling]

Garfield...

What am I going to do?

Probably live on a lily pad and eat flies.

Genie or no genie, I've got to stand up to him.

Omar!

Whatever it is, the answer is no!

I'm not granting you any more wishes!

[croaking]

[Odie mutters sadly]

You're right, Odie.

I have to do something.

The clever cat thought and thought,

trying to conceive a plan that would...

Hey, lady!

-I'm trying to think here. -Sorry.

Odie, Jon found something on the Internet earlier

about how to get rid of a genie.

Come on!

[Scheherazade] It took him but moments to find it.

See here?

"To get rid of a bad genie,

you must get him to say his name backwards.

He will disappear

and you will be granted one wish as your reward."

Wow! I even get a wish.

But how do I get him to say his name backwards?

[Omar] I want more food! More food!

[Scheherazade] That was when the clever feline got his idea.

I've got an idea.

We're going down to Vito's to get more food.

[croaking]

[Scheherazade] The cat and dog hurried to the place known as Vito's Pizzeria.

There, they convinced the one named Vito

to print up a special menu just for them.

Then, they hurried home...

[yelling] Omar wants food!

If I don't get my food wish soon,

I'm going to turn someone into an aardvark!

Bet you can't spell it.

Here, Omar! A menu from Vito's!

Just pick out whatever you want!

I want everything!

I want the spaghetti! I want the ravioli!

I want the pizza! I want the ramo!

What's "ramo?"

"Ramo" is "Omar" backwards!

-[thunder] -[very deep voice] Oh, no!

You tricked me!

You tricked me into saying my name backwards!

You'll be sorry! You'll be sorry!

[high pitched voice] I'll turn you into a slug! I'll be back!

Put a cork in it, fella.

He's gone, Odie.

We'll take the bottle back and throw it in the ocean.

And remember, Garfield.

You have a wish.

Thank you, narrator lady!

She's right, Odie.

I have a wish.

I can wish for anything!

I can wish for money, I can wish for lasagna!

I can wish for money and lasagna!

I can wish for power and fame and more lasagna and success and...

Garfield...

[croaking]

[sigh] But I guess I have to wish

to get Jon back to the way he was.

[croaking]

I wish...

I wish everything was the way it was this morning!

[Odie barks playfully]

Odie seems to be having a good time.

Don't go too far, Odie! How are you enjoying the beach, Garfield?

[Odie panting]

[joyful music]

[oriental music]

[Odie mutters]

And so there is this lesson.

Be careful what you wish for.

You just may get it

again and again and again...

[evil laugh]

[upbeat music]
