[screaming]

[sirens wailing]

There it is up ahead. Pull over.

[sirens wailing]

Thanks. I was almost late for my lunch.

Mayor Grafton! I have a few questions.

Is it true you stole millions from the city?

Well, I was never good in math.

And that you sold City Hall to a foreign country?

It was more like a rental.

And that you take bribes, you cheat, you lie every chance you get?

Well, if you're going to quibble over every little thing.

Well, can you name one decent, helpful thing you have done as mayor?

Oh, there are so many it's hard to pick just one.

Here you go, my little pussycat.

A dozen pizzas, none with the anchovies.

Ah, perfect.

All right, Odie, mush!

-Or mozzarella or something. -[yipping]

[grunting]

-We'll be back later for dinner. -[Vito] Yes.

I may need a truck.

[whimpering]

What do you mean, you can't pull a truck?

Oh, how I love being so nice to a cute little pussycat.

Hey, Mayor Grafton! Your Honor!

You should pass a law against people not being nice to kitty cats.

Huh? Oh, yes! Yes, yes!

That's my new law!

A law against...

[Italian accent] ...people not being nice to pussycats.

Kitty cats? Oh, Mayor, you're wonderful.

-There could even be some money in this! -[applause]

[Jon] Here's your sandwich.

Remember our deal.

I make you sandwiches, you take the trash out.

Another mystery sandwich by Arbuckle.

The only man in the world who puts mayonnaise on salad dressing.

[shouting on TV]

I called all you reporters here today to announce a new law I've signed--

[yelling questions]

It's a law that requires people to be extra nice to kitty cats.

[all] Kitty cats!

Oh!

Anyone who isn't nice to a cat will get a ticket and have to pay a fine.

Oh, I like this law.

And to collect these fines,

I've called upon our city's official mad scientist,

Professor Bonkers.

Yes. I have developed a new invention

to handle the giving out of tickets.

-[zapping] -The Bionic Ticket Dispenser!

[engine whizzing]

They are robots programmed to detect when people are not nice to cats.

[sirens wailing]

[dramatic music]

They will identify such people and fine them accordingly.

I'll make a fortu--

Uh, I mean the city will collect fines

from lawbreakers and, best of all,

everyone will be nice to kitty cats.

[all] Kitty cats!

Oh!

That's nice, but you still have to take the trash out.

I don't do that kind of work anymore.

You come right back here and take the trash out or else!

[siren wailing]

Ordering cat to do manual labor. Twenty-five dollar fine.

[dramatic music]

Garfield!

[cheerful music]

This is going to be great.

♪ La la la la ♪

[moaning] Hungry, very hungry.

Oh, gee, cat, are you hungry?

Oh, moan! Agony!

My whole life is flashing before me and it's a rerun from last season.

Bye bye.

Oh, you poor animal. I'm going to get you something to eat.

Maybe some dry cat food or canned meat.

How about some pork fried dumplings or maybe some beef chop suey.

Chinese food?

Nothing on Earth could make me buy you Chinese food!

[siren wailing]

Refusing to feed starving cat. Fifty dollar fine.

I will be back in ten minutes.

[dramatic music]

-Hello? Pagoda Palace? -[high-pitched voice]

I'd like to have an order delivered.

Crispy noodles. I want crispy noodles.

[joyful music]

I should have gotten the moo goo gai pan. With extra goo.

Dessert!

[intriguing music]

[weeping]

[siren wailing]

Taking ice cream from kitten. Fifty dollar fine.

But I didn't... I mean I wouldn't.

[siren wailing]

And I am fining you another fifty for that ugly dress.

My favorite all-you-can-eat restaurant!

[lively music]

[Albert] No, no, no! That cat is not coming in here again!

I had to declare bankruptcy the last three times.

Kicking cat out of all-you-can-eat restaurant.

One hundred dollar fine.

[groaning]

-Ahem. -Shhh.

-[siren wailing] -[shouting]

[action music]

[growling]

[siren wailing]

[whimpering]

[siren wailing]

Oh, this is great!

Nobody dares not do as I wish.

Get away from me, cat! I don't want to get a ticket!

Ah! Stay away from me, cat!

[screaming]

Gee, everyone's afraid they'll get a ticket if they're around me.

Can't say I blame them.

Hey, Garfield, isn't it cool? Nobody's mean to us.

Well, people aren't usually mean to me since I'm so adorable.

Just what I don't need today. Nermal.

But they're probably mean to you.

[groaning]

Garfield! No! Don't! No, no, not again!

[Nermal] Let me guess. Abu Dhabi?

Correctamundo!

And for guessing correctly you have won an all-expense paid vacation to...

Abu Dhabi!

Hey!

Send this the slowest, bumpiest way you've got.

[siren wailing]

Mailing cat to Abu Dhabi. Five hundred dollar fine.

Five hundred dollars?

Make it six because he's so cute.

See? Robots know.

[screaming]

Nobody will ever come near me!

Not even the pizza delivery boys! And I have to be nice to Nermal?

I have to get that law changed!

[dramatic music]

City Hall! This is where the mayor has his office.

[lively music]

Sorry. No one allowed inside without a pass.

Help! Meow!

He's being mean to a cat!

The security guard is being mean to a cat!

Meow!

Go on in.

Thank you.

Huh? [screaming]

[shouting]

Oh, my...

Oh...

[panting]

Best idea I ever had, Sam.

The robots are collecting tons.

And I wouldn't be surprised if most of it wound up in my pocket.

If you know what I mean.

I have a whole plan I drew up here about how I'm going to steal it all.

I bet people would like to read this.

Hey! You give me that back!

I'll call you later, Sam.

[lively music]

How dare you steal my plan about stealing!

[lively music]

[shouting]

[shouting]

[shouting continues]

[crashing]

[cuckoo sounds]

Just when you're trying to read, someone always interrupts.

[lively music]

[roaring]

[gleefully laughing]

[honking]

Boy, he's very, very crooked.

You've caused too much trouble for me, cat.

I'm going to take care of you!

[siren wailing]

Mistreating overweight cat. One hundred dollar fine.

Grabbing portly pussycat. Two hundred dollar fine.

Threatening pussycat. Three hundred dollar fine.

Yelling at feline. Five hundred dollar fine.

I'm not paying any of these stupid fines!

Besides, I'm stealing all the money anyway.

This was all my scheme to swindle people and... and...

[feeble laughter]

Makeup, please.

Seems this wouldn't be a good time to plan your re-election campaign.

[soft music]

[reporter] And thanks to a financial plan found in his possession,

Mayor Grafton was arrested and charged

with being very, very crooked.

Told you he was.

-Nice work, Garfield. -[Odie barking]

I wonder what will happen to those ticket robots.

I'm having them reprogrammed to do something about your sandwiches.

Too much mustard on sandwich. Fifty dollar fine.

Corned beef too thin. One hundred dollar fine.

No pickle. Two hundred dollar fine.

Cheating the city out of millions, that's wrong.

But making bad sandwiches? That's really a crime.
