[snoring] [clock ringing]

[upbeat music]

[funk music]

And now, here he is...

Doc Whipple!

[cheering]

I was surprised to see Dr. Whipple has a new TV show.

Didn't we get rid of this guy last season?

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

As you know, I use the latest techniques of psychology

to aid people with their problems.

That means he charges people a lot of money

to tell them that they're confused.

Today, I am pleased to introduce you to my latest...

[chuckle] ...patient.

-[surprised whispers] -[applause]

An elephant?

Either that or a mouse with a severe eating disorder.

Oh, this is Shrimpy the Elephant.

Shrimpy, show the people what I've taught you.

[trumpet]

[audience] Wow!

[cheerful music]

[applause]

Isn't this great?

You dragged me here to see a man tell an animal what to do?

[sigh] I'm going to go find something to eat.

[applause]

[cheering and applauding]

As you can see,

Shrimpy here has been trained

with love and affection.

Smile,

or I won't feed you again 'til August.

[trumpeting]

[applause]

Mmm?

-Nice spread they put out for the crew. -[trumpeting]

You missed three steps and forgot to do the Elvis impression.

-Just for that, no lunch! -[door slams]

[dramatic music]

Hey, not that it's a lot of my business,

but why do you put up with this?

[small voice] If I don't, he doesn't feed me.

Looks like he's not feeding you now.

Here, have half of mine.

Oh, thanks.

You know, Shrimpy,

I have a guy who feeds me

and I don't have to do handstands or live in a cage.

On the other hand,

Shrimpy doesn't have to put up with Nermal.

and those twins...

and Aunt Ivy...

and doggie tongue...

He's right.

That cat is right.

Wasn't that elephant act great?

-No. -[Odie mutters]

[dramatic music]

You moron!

How could an elephant get past you?

Sorry, Doc.

I was on my break and...

Call the police! Call everyone!

[police sirens]

[helicopters]

All units, be on the lookout for one elephant.

Description: Grey.

Approximate weight: Seven thousand pounds.

[police sirens]

What all this police activity is about?

Maybe they're going to arrest Dr. Whipple

for impersonating a human being.

I'm going to go visit Liz.

-I'll see you back at the house. -Bring pizza.

People who treat animals like that should be treated...

well, the way they treat animals.

What is it with all these policemen?

[Shrimpy] Hey!

Who "heyed" me?

You made a break for it!

I couldn't take any more of it, but it's no use.

They'll find me and they'll take me back there!

-And he'll... He'll be even madder at me. -[police sirens]

[joyful music]

Hide me.

You gotta hide me.

Hide you?

You're a little large, don't you think?

Couldn't I go on a crash diet?

Mmm, there must be a way...

Here's an old, flat volley ball,

and here's some black paint.

Maybe...

[trumpeting]

[Garfield] Come on! Just a little more...

tuck it in...

[suspenseful music]

You're supposed to be a dog, remember?

Bark, do dog stuff.

Come on, Spot!

[panting and barking]

[police sirens]

What kind of dog do you think that was, Henry?

It looked to me like part Cocker Spaniel,

part... pachyderm?

I don't care what it is.

I'm just glad I don't have to clean up after it.

Al, how many dogs have you caught this month?

Well, let's see...

There was that Lhasa Apso!

No, she got away...

Try "none."

Al, you haven't caught so much as a Chihuahua in months.

I'm going to assign you to something a little bigger and easier to find.

Do you think maybe you could find an elephant?

Yeah.

And I know exactly how to do it...

[intriguing music]

[Garfield] I'll sneak you in the back way.

No, I don't think this will work.

I'll take you in the front way.

[pushing]

[pulling]

[panting]

[pushing]

[pulling]

[fitness music]

Oh, sure, like you don't have couple of fat relatives

you have to do this with. -[police siren]

[pushing]

-[trumpeting] -[police siren]

Is this where you live?

Shhhh!

Uh?

[fitness music]

I'll try and find you something to eat.

Around here, it's mostly lasagna or dog food.

Oh, Odie!

I didn't mean dog food like that!

Spit my friend Odie out right now!

Ta-dah!

Sorry...

[fitness music]

Garfield, if you think I'm going to feed your elephant friends,

you're sadly mistaken.

Three...

two... one...

Elephant!

An elephant!

Dr. Whipple's elephant!

Garfield, he shouldn't be here! I'm going to call Dr. Whipple!

[Odie whines sadly]

Don't worry, Shrimpy.

We'll find a way...

No, I'm going back, I know.

There aren't a lot of places for an elephant in this world,

except on a stage...

Hello? May I speak with Dr. Whipple?

They're putting me through his cell phone.

Don't worry, elephant. We'll get you home.

[Odie moans]

You...

you don't want to go home, do you?

He doesn't treat you very well, does he?

[phone ringing]

This is Dr. Whipple.

Who is this?

Uh...

Sorry, wrong number.

Well, we can't keep him here.

I already have one pet who eats like an elephant.

The cat, as usual, has an idea.

This is an article about a program

that sends animals back to their native habitats.

[trumpet]

Oh, you think we should give Shrimpy to the zoo ?

He'd be happy there, but unfortunately,

he does belong to Dr. Whipple...

-Oh! -[Odie barks]

[intriguing music]

I did it, I caught the elephant!

I caught the elephant!

Attention everyone: I caught the elephant !

I may be a lousy dog catcher

but I'm a great elephant catcher! [laughing]

Sorry, Garfield...

Looks like your friend is going back.

There you are!

You are in such trouble now, elephant!

Don't treat him bad, Doc...

Mind your own business.

He needs to be punished!

Severely!

Bad elephant!

Bad elephant!

If you think I disciplined you before, Shrimpy,

wait until you see what happens now.

Elephants are supposed to have great memories.

You won't remember the last time I fed you!

And you're going to work three times harder!

No, he isn't.

What do you mean?

He's my elephant, and he's going to do what I say!

There are laws against mistreating animals.

We're taking you down to jail to teach them to you.

What? No!

You can't do this to me!

You can't lock me up like some...

some dumb animal!

I'm sorry for what I did.

But I think it'll be all right now.

What will happen to him?

He'll probably agree to turn Shrimpy here over to the zoo

in exchange for a light sentence.

Hey, this might all work out.

[police siren]

[cheerful music]

-Look Shrimpy, Odie got you a peanut! -[Odie mutters]

One without a dog catcher inside.

Why, thank you, Odie!

[laughing] Figures!

I always thought Odie was kind of a nut.
