[snoring] [clock ringing]

[upbeat music]

[Garfield] Come back here!

Oh, come on, now!

You leave me alone, Garfield!

You just resent me because I'm so adorable!

You won't be when I'm done.

Meow!

And don't come back!

Envy. Pure envy.

Hey, pal.

Do you mind? Some of us have to eat out of these things.

Sorry, Harry.

Garfield threw me in there because he's so jealous of me.

Not that I blame him.

He's not jealous of you.

Look at this.

Somebody threw away a perfectly good six-week-old tuna sandwich.

[chewing]

How could he not be jealous?

I'm cute. I'm beloved. I have everything.

You don't have your own show.

What?

Garfield has his own show.

We're on it right now, see? People are watching us.

Oh, yeah. Hiya, folks!

Everyone watches it. You can hear it coming out of almost every house.

The little girl who lives here watches it every time it's on...

[mother] Laraine!

I told you to watch educational programs!

The Garfield Show is educational, Mom!

I'm learning how to eat lasagna and sleep all day.

[mother] Laraine!

All right, all right.

We're speaking with inventor and mad scientist, Prof. Thaddeus Bonkers.

Prof. Bonkers, is it true you have invented a time machine?

That is correct.

How long did it take you?

The rest of my life.

I actually finished it 47 years from now.

When I was done,

I jumped into my time machine and came back here to today in it.

Ah...

So, in your time machine, someone can actually travel into the past?

Indeed. But they have to be very careful.

Anything you do when you are back in time could affect the future.

Wow. What would you do if you had a time machine, Harry?

I think I'd go back in time about two minutes

and not eat this sandwich.

Well, I know what I'd do...

and what I'm going to do.

A slight change of history and this show will be mine.

So, you need to be very careful about altering the past.

This is boring.

I'll watch Garfield.

[Jon] Garfield! You can't just lay around inside all day.

Jon's right.

I'll lay around outside all day sleeping.

[intriguing music]

You are to guard my time machine with your life.

It is priceless! It took me the rest of my life to build it!

Count on me, Professor.

[suspenseful music]

[giggling]

[glass shattering]

Now, how do you start this thing?

"Traveling Through Time for Dummies."

Just what I need.

"To start, press red button."

Oh, boy!

[screaming]

[screaming]

How to stop... how to stop...

It's gotta be in here somewhere.

"Selecting a date or event to visit." Awesome.

I'm setting it for the day Jon first found Garfield at the pet store.

[giggling]

[ominous music]

Wow, I made it! That's the store!

[soft music]

So, how do you get someone to adopt you?

Just look adorable. Someone will want to take you home.

That doesn't sound so hard.

It helps if the human isn't too bright.

He should be a cinch.

But don't look too eager.

It makes them think no one wants you.

Good idea. I'll play hard to get.

May I help you, sir?

Yes, I've been thinking I might like to adopt a cat.

Take me! Oh, take me home with you. Please, please!

I'll be your loyal cat! Meow, meow!

Pick me!

Wow!

[screaming]

Maybe I'll take this one.

That's how Jon adopted Garfield.

On the way home, I'll stop for cat food.

Actually, we've noticed that he rather likes lasagna.

Lasagna?

Meow! Meow!

Ok, lasagna.

You are kind of cute.

You're not so bad yourself, fella.

I think we'll be good...

Meow.

[purring] Meow!

Meow! Meow!

[dramatic music]

What about taking me home and feeding me lasagna

and making me yours and feeding me?

And you'll love it at my place.

I'll get you a bed and feed you.

[teeth chattering]

This is weird.

It felt like the entire universe just shifted a little.

Oh, well.

Time for my 3:15 pre-dinner appetizer booster snack.

[Odie snoring]

Gee, Jon's not keeping the kitchen as well-stocked as he usually does.

It's every pet for himself at dinner, Odie.

There's barely enough food here for me.

[angrily barking]

An intruder? Where?

[barking]

You mean me? How could I be an intruder?

[growling]

What do you mean you never saw me before? I'm Garfield.

I live in this house, remember? See, my picture's right over...

Nermal? What is Nermal doing in my picture frame?

Squeak! Tell Odie who I am!

Strange cat inside!

Alarm! Alarm!

Squeak! It's me, Garfield!

You're a cat and cats eat mice!

All except for my friend Nermal!

Nermal?

[dramatic music]

[barking]

[Jon] What's wrong?

Hey! How'd that cat get in here?

That cat?

Jon, don't you remember me?

The cat who sleeps a lot? Who eats lasagna?

Who's been with you since...

When did Jim start the newspaper strip?

1978! Since 1978!

I don't know who you are. There's only one cat in this house...

My beloved pet, Nermal.

Nermal! Your pet?

What happened? Why do I no longer exist?

Odie doesn't know me.

Squeak doesn't know me. Even Jon doesn't know me.

This couldn't be any worse.

[mother] Laraine!

Are you watching The Nermal Show again?

The Nermal Show?

It's just starting, Mum!

[upbeat music]

[screaming]

No! No! That's my show! That's my opening and my theme song!

The funny-named people in the credits, they work for me!

Me!

[mother] Laraine!

I told you to watch something educational!

The Nermal Show is educational, Mom!

I'm learning how to be the most adorable creature on the planet!

[crying]

My show.

He even got my show.

My life. My show.

I'm surprised I still have my stripes.

Hi, Garfield.

Oh. Hi, Nermal.

Nermal!

Nermal! What have you done?

Done? About what?

Why do you suddenly have my life and my show?

Oh, that. No big deal.

I borrowed a time machine, went back

and got Jon to adopt me instead of you.

See you later, Garfield.

Oh. So that's how he did it.

Mmh...

Time machine!

How can I undo this? How am I going to get my life back?

[newswoman] Prof. Bonkers,

is it true you have invented a time machine?

Yes. Two of them, in fact.

The first one was stolen.

It was left in a no parking zone in the past and towed.

The police don't know where it is, so I built another one.

I have to get that time machine and undo what Nermal did.

[intriguing music]

You're going to love it at my place.

I'll fix you up a bed and feed you...

No! Stop! You're making a terrible mistake!

You don't want him! He's obnoxious!

He's annoying! He's... he's... he's Nermal!

What is it? Are you saying I shouldn't adopt this cat?

Yes, yes!

Take the cute one who eats lasagna!

He's the one you want!

Don't do this! Please! Please!

[crying]

Yeah...

This is a pretty good life Garfield has. Or rather, had.

I'm starting to really enjoy it.

Nermal! What are you doing here?

I live here.

Not anymore.

I went back in time and convinced Jon not to adopt you.

What? That's rotten, Garfield.

How dare you do what I did to you?

Come with me.

Let's see how things are now in the Arbuckle household.

[cheerful music]

You're a wonderful pet, Odie.

I'm so glad I decided never to get a cat.

[in unison] Never to get a cat?

Shall we watch our favorite TV show?

[slurping]

[barking]

Ok. Here it comes.

[upbeat music]

[in unison] The Odie Show?

Don't worry!

We'll straighten this out before the next episode

of The Garfield Show.

Or The Nermal Show.

Or whatever this show is.

[dramatic music]
