[snoring] [clock ringing]

[upbeat music]

[Mrs. Cauldron] Six lizard noses, two pinches

of tarantula hair,

a spoonful of moldy peanut butter...

Oh, hello. I'm Mrs. Cauldron,

your friendly neighborhood old lady, who might be a witch.

Nevermore!

Quiet! I have a story to tell.

So, here it is. And I'm not saying it's true,

but I'm not saying it isn't, either. [chuckling]

It happened one day as I was

flying home on my brand-new Class 13 vacuum cleaner with full options,

including parking sensors.

[snoring]

[giggling] Oh, this'll be great...

[lively music]

This is the bungee cord Jon used the one time he went bungee jumping.

Not a successful activity.

Odie! Wake up!

Want to fetch the stick?

[barking]

Then go fetch the stick!

[barking]

[intriguing music]

[screaming]

[crashing]

-[Garfield laughing] -[moaning]

[Mrs. Cauldron] I like Garfield, but sometimes

he just goes too far...

Hello, Odie. You know why Garfield can do things like that to you, don't you?

[whining]

Because you're not that smart. And if you were that smart,

you'd know that's the reason.

Would you like to be smarter? A lot smarter?

[barking]

Ok. I'm not sure you'll like it, but here goes...

[intriguing music]

Odie always had a good heart.

But suddenly, he had a good brain to go with it.

[chuckling] Oh, that was great.

I wonder why the cord causes someone to bounce around like that.

It's all due to Newton's Third Law of Motion.

For every action, there's an opposite reaction.

-Oh. Interesting. Thanks, Odie. -Don't mention it.

[yawning] Newton's Third Law of Motion.

I should have known...

Odie! You said something.

Not only that, but it was something... you know...

intelligent.

Well, maybe I just never had anything to say before.

[Mrs. Cauldron] It was also a new experience for Odie...

being able to do things he'd never done before.

I changed the filter, tightened the belts and updated

the software on the global positioning system.

Well, thank you, Odie. I do hope you enjoy being intelligent.

Of course. I can read and write and solve problems and fix things...

Well, I just hope you keep feeling that way.

One last thing, Odie.

You can't tell anyone I turned you into a genius

or it will undo the spell.

You'll immediately become like you were before.

I'm smart now. I'm not dumb enough to let that happen.

Good. See you around.

[Odie] Thanks again!

[Mrs. Cauldron] For a while,

I guess it was a good thing...

[cheerful music]

I don't have time to play. I'm doing my taxes, it's just impossible.

I need some coffee. I'm going to be up all night.

"Form 2030..." "Itemized deductions..."

What's he talking about? This is a breeze.

He never said anything before.

I've kicked him off the table a thousand times.

He never said a word except "yowp"!

I'm going to be up all night doing my taxes, Garfield.

Odie! What are you doing in my chair?

You did my taxes?

Yes, and I got you a refund.

[Liz] He looks normal to me.

Except that he's suddenly become a genius.

I gave him an intelligence test and, well, he's twice as smart as we are.

As either of us?

No, twice as smart as you and I together. If you'll excuse me,

I have a sick cat that needs attention...

It appears you've been eating too much mixed grill.

Try switching to a low-sodium salmon cat food--

[Mrs. Cauldron] Jon couldn't believe how smart his dog was.

He shot videos of Odie

and put them on the internet...

Before long, Odie was famous.

[reporter] The smartest dog in the world.

That's what he's called since his videos got 50 million hits.

My Odie?

[reporter] Monday, he became the world champion at chess...

[intriguing music]

I can't believe it! I just got checkmated by a dog!

[reporter] Tuesday, he went on a game show.

Odie! For a fortune...

Who was the foreman who built the Great Wall of China?

You've written, "Chin Lu How."

That is correct. That's absolutely correct!

You win the small fortune!

[reporter] Odie promptly donated

the small fortune to a worthy charity.

I thought he was supposed to be smart.

And perhaps most impressive, he figured out

how to set up those beach chairs no one can ever figure out.

Oh, thank you, thank you!

I've been trying for 22 years to understand how to open that chair.

In a few days,

everyone around the world has become excited about Odie.

This is reporter Brandon Scoop signing off.

You're just jealous that Odie is getting all this fame and attention.

Oh, great. Now I have a smart mouse, too.

[Mrs. Cauldron] Someone else wasn't too happy, either.

He was Emperor Glorm, ruler of a kingdom at the Earth's center.

[woman] For 22 years...

Emperor Glorm!

Do you think that dog is really as smart as they say?

[Glorm] Smarter!

And that worries me, my loyal sloth people...

[dramatic music]

That canine is smart enough to lead the surface people to conquer us.

[gasping]

Of course, if we captured him,

he could tell us how to conquer the surface people.

[cheering]

[shouting]

-I want to talk to the dog! -I need his brains!

Sorry! My dog can't help...

Everyone wants Odie to solve their problems.

Odie? Do you think you can solve mine?

I'll try. What is it?

I have a lousy part in this episode.

[crowd shouting]

I think I can solve your problem and my own by getting out of this house.

-Where are you going to go? -I don't know.

[Mrs. Cauldron] So, Odie made a hasty exit...

leaving Garfield to deal with the mobs of people outside.

I know how to handle this.

Please, people, I'm telling you. My dog can't solve all your problems.

No, but your cat can. Yes, it's me, Garfield Cat!

I'm here to share my colossal brain with you all. Ask me anything.

-No, he can't help. -I wanted to ask the dog!

I'm going to bed until this episode is over.

[Mrs. Cauldron] Meanwhile, Odie was trying to figure out

the one thing he didn't know...

Why being so smart was more trouble than being stupid.

Hey, Odie! Can you help me run my comic book shop so I make more money?

[sad music]

Hey, Odie.

Can you tell me a good way to catch a dog... like, say, you?

[dramatic music]

Hey, Odie.

Will you do my homework for me?

[Mrs. Cauldron] Everywhere,

somebody wanted something.

-But finally, he was alone... -[sighing]

Or so he thought.

[dramatic music]

Hey! Let me go! Unhand me!

[Glorm] So...

This is the smartest dog in the world.

Well, smart dog, I trust you are smart enough to know that your survival

depends on you helping me to conquer the surface world.

Why me? What do you want with me?

You have knowledge. Knowledge is power...

and I want power.

Tell me, dog. How did you get to be so smart?

[Mrs. Cauldron] Odie tried to think...

but all he could think about was how life was so much easier

before he got to be so smart.

Then, he remembered something he'd heard.

You can't tell anyone I magically turned you into a genius

or it will undo the spell. You'll become like you were before.

I said: How did you get to be so smart?

A little old witch named Mrs. Cauldron cast a spell on me.

[panting]

[barking]

[joyful music]

This... this is the smartest creature on this planet?

Use the Cerebral Gauge. Measure his brain power.

No discernible intelligence.

We might as well return to our world below.

[Mrs. Cauldron] That's all there is to the story, I guess.

[barking happily]

Hey, Odie! Can you answer a question for me?

[Mrs. Cauldron] He went home dumb but happy...

and he stayed that way.

[licking sound]

[barking]

[barking]

[Jon laughing]

[creaking sound]

So, here it is. And I'm not saying it's true,

but I'm not saying it isn't either.

And best of all, I got my show back!

[upbeat music]
